Let's be honest — plenty of times, new-band buzz builds from the outside and works its way into media outlets. Like that year everybody who went to SXSW was forced to see Bloc Party play about seventeen times. Or when the hype around Black Kids heated up so damned fast that the bloggy backlash had started before the rest of us were done playing catch-up. But sometimes, just sometimes, a kind of consensus about a new artist builds from within in a way that's so organic it's a little creepy.
Case in point, the infiltration of the MTV News department by The Teenagers:
From: Fraenkel, Jim
To: Alex Mar
Subject: The Teenagers
So when these emails came, I was in my office listening to the Teenagers on my iPod. And Conor Bezane's Facebook status read "I'm really into the Teenagers." Just scroll down…
From: Norris, John
To: Fraenkel, Jim
CC: Montgomery, James; Bezane, Conor; Kennedy, Brendan
Subject: The Teenagers
Not since a drunk Serge Gainsbourg turned to Whitney Houston on Michel Drucker's talk show in 1984 and said about the young singer "I really want to f— her" has an American experienced anything from France as delightfully raunchy as The Teenagers. James already gave em love in last week's BTTS, and now I would love it if we could do something video-wise with them as well.
Their songs — "Starlett Johansson," the genius "F— Nicole," and of course the "Summer Nights" gone vulgar guy-girl singalong of "Homecoming" — may require quite a lot of bleeping on our part, but they are priceless….
Let me know what you think….Merci bien, et vive les Teenagers….
P.S. Oh yeah, Conor and Brendan are also big fans, so I copied them on this as well.
From: Montgomery, James
To: Fraenkel, Jim; Norris, John; Bezane, Conor; Kennedy, Brendan
Subject: RE: The Teenagers
This is a really long email about a really good band.
Like I wrote in Bigger Than The Sound last week:
1. The Teenagers' Reality Check: An album's worth of ultra-profane Euro-pop about sex and partying and every European male's favorite hobby: seducing awestruck American girls. Plus a song that pokes fun at Jared Leto! If you hate the French (or cheerleaders), then "Homecoming" just might be the song you've waited your whole life for. And if you've ever found yourself wondering what Pulp would sound like if they were fronted by an effeminate, debased French dude, well, now you've got your answer.
James Montgomery
Then there was my recent e-chat with James, trying to figure this all out:
AM: So wait — why do you like them?
JM: Some people here read WAAAAAAAY too much into them, but basically I think their album sounds like US Weekly/OK!/E!-The Musical.
AM: Whoa. That's a great way of putting it. Although I do believe that Pulp were way better.
JM: Oh yah, WAAAAAY better for sure. Also, I am like 90% sure that the Teenagers are a complete joke and we're all falling for it. Like, they're not trying at all.
AM: Um, yeah, I kind of agree with that. We're going to find out that the singer is actually James Murphy filtered through some crazy kind of French vocoder.
Videos from the Teenagers after the jump — including their French-stalker ode to Scarlett Johansson. Totally worth it…and a little bit NSFW.
The very, very excellent clip for "Homecoming":
This clip for "Starlett Johansson" turns the panties opening of Lost in Translation into something epic:

Album Review
The Grateful Dead
mined two separate double-album sets from their 15th anniversary shows at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco and Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Because of the special nature of these shows -- which included the first acoustic sets that the band had played in almost a decade -- Reckoning was taken from the unplugged performances, and this title was culled from the electric ones. These were the first live albums that the band had issued since the
Steal Your Face
debacle four years prior, as well as the earliest to feature
Brent Mydland
(keyboards). More so than any previous live
Grateful Dead
Dead Set
attempts to simulate a typical Dead concert -- including a somewhat abbreviated percussion solo ("drums") and free-form instrumental ("space") section. However, because the album is compiled from a number of different concerts, there is not the firmly established continuity that a single performance provides. This was further compounded on domestic U.S. compact disc pressings -- as the ("space") section was judiciously edited to enable the contents to fit onto a single CD. In 2000, a remastered edition was issued in Japan, and the original running order was restored and once again spread over two discs. The set list mixes older and more established favorites such as "Loser," "Candyman," and "Deal" with newer ones ("Fire on the Mountain," "Feel Like a Stranger," and the rarely performed
Phil Lesh
[bass] composition "Passenger.") Unfortunately, the time limitations inherent in vinyl prohibited the use of any extended improvisation or song couplings. The band also documented their October 31st show -- at Radio City Music Hall -- as a live closed-circuit television special. From that performance, the band's very first home video -- also called
Dead Set
-- was compiled, which includes a few of the acoustic performances as well.

Weve just learned that the sequel to 2014s Godzilla has just run into a serious snag behind the scenes.
With 10 Cloverfield Lane set to hit theaters this weekend, we can't help but have monsters on the brain. With that in mind, here are our top ten scariest movie monsters.
The king of the monsters is back in next summer's Godzilla: Resurgence. Though don't go into reading about the film's poster expecting the kinder, gentler Godzilla you're used to.
Some people get into the movie business because they see an opportunity to make money. Other people get into the movie business they see an opportunity to make money, doing something that they love.
There have been rumblings that Godzilla and King Kong are going to throw down on the big screen sometime soon, but now we know we know when, and that the plan is much, much bigger than just that epic clash.
We recently heard rumblings that two of cinemas greatest monsters, King Kong and Godzilla, might me on the big screen, but there is one possibly one insurmountable obstacle no one foresaw.
Two years ago, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. decided to end their eight year partnership, with the former creating a new deal with the folks over at Universal Pictures. Now, however, it looks like they may be bringing Kong: Skull Island back to WB. Why? Because they're interested in the idea of a potential crossover with Godzilla.
Pacific Rim 2 stomps through theaters in 2017, its going to be massive. However, if director and mastermind Guillermo del Toro has his way, the franchise will get even bigger: he wants to bring Godzilla into the fold.
Last years big Godzilla revival currently exists as one of the biggest hits of Bryan Cranstons career, and the actor has spoken out about both his appreciation of the movie and all of its success. As it turns out, however, he does have one major issue with the film and thats the fact that his character is killed off so early in the movie.
How does one top something like Godzilla? The epic reboot about the famed Toho movie monster blew us out of the water with the titular beast battling against two other gargantuan threats. According to writer Max Borenstein, this can be topped with Godzilla 2.
If you cant wait to see Anne Hathaway go up against a monster that closely resembles Godzilla in Colossal, then prepare yourself for some bad news, because the production company behind the real Godzilla has started a legal battle with the intriguing flick.
With the possibility of a franchise in play, killing Godzilla at the end of Godzilla makes no sense. Which is why the beast gets up off the proverbial mat in the closing minutes of this movie, and swims back to his lair to heal. Hell live to fight another day. Because of Star Wars: Rogue One, however, that day probably wont come as quickly as fans had hoped.
If the local Holiday Inn isn't generally frightening enough for you, you might want to check out this epic, Godzilla-themed hotel in Japan.
In the current age of sequels, remakes and reboots, it shouldn't be surprising to learn the Toho Studio announced the Godzilla franchise will get yet another installment. This is not related to the Gareth Edwards remake that just hit theaters back in 2014, but is rather set to run concurrently alongside the British filmmaker's franchise.
This supercut of 2014's best shots of cinematography might just leave you with stars in your eyes. Check out what one editor thought was the best of the best online.
As weve been saying all week, 2014 was truly a great year for movies. The entire calendar was filled up with both memorable and surprising features, from indies to blockbusters, and these titles were made up of some incredible cinematic moments that we will not be soon forgetting.
As the most-used website on the internet, Google has a ton of access to information about our society, and by analyzing their numbers can come up with lists of the biggest trends during a certain amount of time. Today they have revealed the top 10 searches when it comes to movies in 2014 and the results they came up with are pretty surprising.
As I noted shortly after its release this past May, Gareth Edwards' Godzilla has a lot of trouble in the female character department. While the male leads Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe got to play solid characters and had an active role in the story, Juliette Binoche was killed off almost instantly; Elizabeth Olsen did little more than worry about her husband and look up in terror; and Sally Hawkins just mutely followed Watanabe around the whole time.
Treating Godzilla like a punching bag has become a national pastime in movie geekdom since Gareth Edwards released the film, with a few of the usual suspects rehashing the same complaints. Which is fine.
Legendary Pictures has sealed a deal, signing Max Borenstein to write the Godzilla sequel. Borenstein made his name by penning the 2014 Godzilla, which took the iconic movie monster on a world-trekking (or world-wrecking) adventure to battle two massive, merciless MUTOs.

Anti-Putin protests draw tens of thousands
MOSCOW Tens of thousands of Russians jammed a Moscow avenue to demand free elections and an end to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's 12-year rule, in the largest show of public outrage since the protests 20 years ago that brought down the Soviet Union. Gone was the political apathy of recent years as many shouted "We are the Power!"
Saturday's demonstration, bigger and better organized than a similar one two weeks ago, and smaller rallies across the country encouraged opposition leaders hoping to sustain a protest movement ignited by a fraud-tainted parliamentary election on Dec. 4.
The enthusiasm also cheered Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet leader who closed down the Soviet Union on Dec. 25, 1991.
"I'm happy that I have lived to see the people waking up. This raises big hopes," the 80-year-old Gorbachev said on Ekho Moskvy radio.
He urged Putin to follow his example and give up power peacefully, saying Putin would be remembered for the positive things he did if he stepped down now. The former Soviet leader, who has grown increasingly critical of Putin, has little influence in Russia today.
But the protesters have no central leader and no candidate capable of posing a serious challenge to Putin, who intends to return to the presidency in a March vote.
Even at Saturday's rally, some of the speakers were jeered by the crowd. The various liberal, nationalist and leftist groups that took part appear united only by their desire to see "Russia without Putin," a popular chant.
Putin, who gave no public response to the protest Saturday, initially derided the demonstrators as paid agents of the West. He also said sarcastically that he thought the white ribbons they wore as an emblem were condoms. Putin has since come to take their protests more seriously, and in an effort to stem the anger he has offered a set of reforms to allow more political competition in future elections.
Kremlin-controlled television covered Saturday's rally, but gave no air time to Putin's harshest critics.
Estimates of the number of demonstrators ranged from the police figure of 30,000 to 120,000 offered by the organizers. Demonstrators packed much of a broad avenue, which has room for nearly 100,000 people, about 2.5 kilometers (some 1.5 miles) from the Kremlin, as the temperature dipped well below freezing.
A stage at the end of the avenue featured banners reading "Russia will be free" and "This election Is a farce." Heavy police cordons encircled the participants, who stood within metal barriers, and a police helicopter hovered overhead.
Alexei Navalny, a corruption-fighting lawyer and popular blogger, electrified the crowd when he took the stage. He soon had the protesters chanting "We are the power!"
Navalny spent 15 days in jail for leading a protest on Dec. 5 that unexpectedly drew more than 5,000 people and set off the chain of demonstrations.
Putin's United Russia party lost 25 percent of its seats in the election, but hung onto a majority in parliament through what independent observers said was widespread fraud. United Russia, seen as representing a corrupt bureaucracy, has become known as the party of crooks and thieves, a phrase coined by Navalny.
"We have enough people here to take the Kremlin," Navalny shouted to the crowd. "But we are peaceful people and we won't do that - yet. But if these crooks and thieves keep cheating us, we will take what is ours."
Protest leaders expressed skepticism about Putin's promised political reforms.
"We don't trust him," opposition leader Boris Nemtsov told the rally, urging protesters to gather again after the long New Year's holidays to make sure the proposed changes are put into law.

Horror and hope
The worst evil should make us tremble but not doubt
As the world reeled from the horrific death in Beslan, Russia, some Christians struggled with the correct response. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, told a BBC interviewer that the catastrophe had caused his faith to tremble. That is good. We should tremble indeed in a world so ripe for judgment, where we know our own sins keenly. But then he went further: "When you see the depth of energy that people can put into such evil, then . . . there is a flicker, there is a doubt. It would be inhuman, I think, not to react in that way."
The Archbishop implied that to be humane in the face of great suffering one must at least have a flicker of doubt toward God! His statement was symptomatic not of deep compassion, but of deep confusion-or worse, unbelief.
It does not belittle people or make light of their pain when we hold fast to God's power and goodness while we hold out our hand to the suffering in help and prayer. The most compassionate and merciful saints in history have sacrificed themselves for the suffering, precisely because their faith in God's sovereign goodness was unshakable.
Nor do we learn such counsel from Jesus. Never did He doubt the goodness or power of His Father while confronting the worst evils in the universe. And this did not make Him "inhuman." It made Him perfectly human. His combination of compassion for people and confidence in God shows us how to respond to suffering. It is unthinkable that Jesus would make doubt in His Father the test of compassion for suffering Russians.
Never did He teach us, or even hint, that we should doubt the reality of God's goodness and power when facing unspeakable evil. When people asked Him about the slaughter of the Galileans, He said: "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:2-3).
Those who are saturated and shaped by all the words and ways of Jesus are not surprised by evil. Jesus labored to help us be ready for the worst of evils, even Islamic terrorists. He taught us that there would be "terrors" (an amazingly relevant word for what "terrorists" cause) (Luke 21:11). He said that there would be terrible famines and plagues. Betrayal would become common and even parents would hand over children, "and some of you they will put to death" (Luke 21:16). People will be "fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world" (Luke 21:26). And, perhaps most relevant of all in this day of religious terrorism, Jesus said, "The hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God" (John 16:2).
But in spite of all this evil and suffering, Jesus did not even remotely suggest that we should have a flicker of doubt toward the goodness and sovereignty of God. Instead He did the opposite. He strove to help us maintain faith in the face of horrifying evil: "When you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near" (Luke 21:31). This is not the suggestion of doubt, but the certainty of hope. Again He says that when you see these unspeakable evils happening around you, you should "raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28). This is not a time for weakening faith, but unwavering hope.
The gift that followers of Christ bring to the suffering world is not the empathy of doubt, but the power of hope. We do not join the world in their anger at God or their questioning of His existence or justice or mercy. The very thing that survivors of suffering need most is hope in God through Jesus Christ. This hope will not be given by those who make its uncertainty the measure of our compassion. It is unbiblical and unmerciful to say that what suffering people need most must be doubted in order to prove our love for them.

American Idol: Thia Megia And Naima Adedapo Elimination Interview
April 01, 2011 06:48 PM by Lisa Princ
Last night on FOX's American Idol we said goodbye to both Thia Megia and Naima Adedapo. In a post elimination press conference, both of these ladies shared how they feel the women are at a disadvantage on the show as well as other thoughts on their experiences. Keep reading for more details!
American Idol's Thia Megia was first up for the press conference today and here is what our youngest finalist wanted to share with her fans and viewers.
Question: Were you surprised by your elimination last night?
Thia Megia: Actually I really didn't know what to expect since there are a lot of great singers in the competition. I had a mixture of emotions when I was on stage, I wanted this so bad, but everyone else is so incredible. I didn't know what to feel to be honest.
Question: What was it like being pulled away from the other contestants to do your schooling?
Thia Megia: We did 3-4 hours of school a day, I feel that we didn't get that much rehearsal time. The advantage, being minors, it was an escape from all the stress for us. It was cool to actually have that time to bond with the other minors.
Question: What did you enjoy the most about the competition?
Thia Megia: I enjoyed every bit of the competition. That is what made it hard to say goodbye last night. It's not the end of the competition, we are all going to see each other in a couple weeks anyway. I am going to miss the vocal coaches and what they taught us.
Question: With all the girls going home earlier on the past few seasons, were the girls concerned this season?
Thia Megia: We figured since there are more females watching the show, they are going to be rooting for the guys.
Question: How many national anthem performances have you done and do you ever get nervous?
Thia Megia: I lost count of how many national anthem performances I have done. I get nervous every time for every single performance. Once I am up there, I am taken in by the music and the moment. I go from extremely nervous to show mode.
Question: Do you wish you had taken the less "safe" road and done more upbeat songs versus so many ballads?
Thia Megia: I guess for the previos weeks I did ballads, I regret not choosing more upbeat songs, but for the last one I don't regret, I dedicated that to my brother and I put all my emotions in to that one.
Next up was Naima Adedapo for some questions and answers, and Naima wanted to share this with her fans and viewers.
Question: Were you concerned about the girls' fate since so many ladies have been eliminated early on in past seasons and this one started off the same?
Naima Adedapo: We weren't really concerned because we all had faith in ourselves. But more than 50 percent of the audience are little teenage girls and once they get a crush, we go down, they dominate. That is just the reality of the situation.
Question: Can you give us some insight to your dance background?
Naima Adedapo: I have been part of many dance troupes actually. I used to do hip-hop, but for most part it's been African dance. Any African dance company that you name in Milwaukee, I've been a part of. Dancing has always been a part of my life, since I was young, just playing around on the streets in Chicago. I did go to college and study dance, I got a BFA in dance, so I know all different forms of dance. My husband and I have a reggae band back home and we always dance on stage, it's a natural for us. You have to dance, you have to move, you have to physically be engaged in order to fully connect with the audience.
Question: Lauren looked heartbroken last night, how close were you all?
Naima Adedapo: Lauren was so upset, she cried out a little bit, but that's the natural thing to do, its alright. It was very hard for her, because I've been like a mother figure to her, even more so it was because of Thia because that was like her ace, they were in school together all the time, they were really close and tight. I had my moment when I had to say 'see you later' to Jacob, he was my ace.
Question: What was your favorite part of the experience?
Naima Adedapo: Shopping. I think that was like one of the biggest, best parts for me. Performing is everything, but when you get to shop and you get to do the accessories and the shoes, I get such a kick out of that and that was my release time. It was great to kind of co-create things with the stylist – she knew my style. She would have stuff hanging on the rack before we even went shopping.
Question: Can you tell us about your unique style that you brought to the show?
Naima Adedapo: To me, I'm really about staying true to myself. Once I have my mind set on something, I just kind of go out there and do it. I did what I did and I have no regrets about anything I've done on the show and I'm happy to have shown that side of me. I think sometimes people just didn't know where to place me. I felt like maybe they didn't understand me sometimes, but honestly, the reactions that I've gotten from people have still been positive. I definitely struck people in a different kind of way.

Android vs. iOS: It's The Apps, Stupid!
While lately I have been a huge fan of the improvements to Android, there is still one major category where iOS continues to hold an advantage: quality and breadth of apps.
While the disparity is not as bad as it once was, it is still significant enough to give one pause when considering whether to choose Android or iOS. Lately my experience with a number of apps has brought this to the forefront of my mind when comparing the two platforms.
While there are many Android apps that are taking advantage of the new tools available in Android (Pinterest, Flipboard, ESPN College Football, and Angry Birds Star Wars are good examples) in the vast majority of cases the best apps come to iOS first and Android later (if at all).
The most recent example of this is Letterpress. Take the joy you once felt at discovering Words with Friends and multiply it by 10. Letterpress is twice as addictive and even more challenging than the ubiquitous word game.
Yet don't expect Letterpress to come to Android anytime soon. The developer behind the game, Loren Brichter, was the developer of Tweetie, which was purchased by Twitter to become the foundation of the microblogging service's iOS app. His development work has been very focused on Apple's mobile platform.
Another example of the dilemma often faced by Android users is CNN. The iOS CNN app looks outstanding, making full use of swipes, gestures and the powerful screen resolution on the iPhone 4. The iPad version is just as impressive. In fact most news sites such as The Washington Post, AP, and others have developed excellent apps for the iPhone and iPad that look great and perform well.
The Android version of CNN, however, is a piece of junk. The font is microscopic and is drowned out by the unused space. And like many cross-platform apps, there is no tablet version to speak of.
Unfortunately, this story repeats itself on Android, even for large companies that ought to have the resources to develop quality apps for the platform. There are too many applications with jumbled animations, clunky interfaces and inconsistent implementation of the standardized back button at the bottom of the Android OS screen.
Again, Google is seeking to remedy this by selling its own Nexus-branded tablets, the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. The Nexus 7 was so successful it may have been part of what pushed Apple to produce its smaller iPad mini. If more consumers continue to buy Android tablets and smartphones, developers will need to continue stepping up their game.
Android has come a long way since Google first started selling the Nexus One. It remains my favorite OS with many powerful features that trump iOS. But for most looking to buy their next smartphone or tablet, the only deciding factor
After using both ecosystems for a while, I understand the draw that iOS has. Many are willing to put up with the awful Apple Maps and limited customization options in exchange for a first-rate app ecosystem.
Given the current trends, I expect both platforms to mirror one another more closely. Look for Apple to respond to criticism about iOS becoming stagnant by pushing more features to rival Android; Google will continue to push for more and better apps to keep its OS attractive.

Gujarats Jyotirgram Yojana, one of the major achievements of PM Narendra Modis Gujarat model of development through which the state government succeeded in electrification of 18,000 villages and supply of power to the remotest locations of the state, may soon be replicated at the national level. This was indicated by Union minister for coal and power Piyush Goyal after a careful scrutiny of the Gujarat power management model on his first official trip to the state after assuming charge.
Briefing mediapersons after a marathon five-hour series of meetings and discussions with Gujarat minister of finance and energy Saurabh Patel and senior officials of the state energy and power departments, Goyal said, If the Gujarat model is replicated across India, a power revolution can take place.
Lauding the Jyotirgram Yojana, Goyal said that he intended to replicate the model in India and provide 24X7 electricity at reasonable rates to every Indian. I plan to go back and work on a timeframe to achieve this target.Among the other major takeaways from Gujarats model of power management which Goyal cited were the effective containing of transmission and distribution losses by the state.

I've been with Origin for a few years now. They were the first people to offer me fast broadband, which is why I went to them, but the service has always been great EXCEPT when the old network closed in August - but looking into it, that was the councils fault if anyone's.

Man Glaze Lesbihonest
I meant to have some posts ready for you guys, but I swear the time just flew and I didn't have any time. So I am sorry.
For this post, I wanted to share a new polish brand, to me, I know it's been out there for a while, but I just purchased my first one. Their formula is amazing, and I will say, you kind of need a sense of humor to appreciate the names and bottles.
This is Lesbihonest from Man Glaze. It's a bright fuchsia matte, and I of course had to see what it would look like with a shiny top coat as well :) I'm officially hooked on their polish, and cannot wait to try more.

Bij aankomst werden wij hartelijk ontvangen door Dennis. Hij heeft ons alles rustig uitgelegd en informatie gegeven over restaurantjes, supermarkten en metro. Ook gedurende ons verblijf kregen we veel tips van Dennis en konden we met al onze vragen bij hem terecht. Het appartement is zeer gunstig gelegen om alle highlights snel te kunnen bereiken. Wij hebben ons in Harlem geen moment onveilig gevoeld. Sterker nog er hing een aangename sfeer. De mensen waren vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Over het appartement: het is ruim, ongeveer 19 meter lang en alle voorzieningen zijn aanwezig, zelfs een wasmachine en droger. Bed is stevig en we hebben goed geslapen. De 119e straat is rustig en slechts eenrichtingsverkeer.
We zijn naar de Bronx zoo geweest en dat is ook een aanrader, naast alle bekende dingen. Je hebt daar een monorail om een stuk rijdend af te kunnen leggen, want het is een groot park.
L'accueil de Dennis était parfait. Appartement magnifique, confortable dans un quartier calme très familial, un peu à l'extérieur de la 'fureur de la ville', ce qui est très agréable après une journée de ballades. Accès au métro very easy. Bref, un lieu à recommander... Totalement. Marianne et Léo (Belgique)
We were absolutely satisfied with our stay at Denis' Harlem Hideaway. Everything was like expected and even better. Denis is a very kind guy who obviously enjoys hosting people. He was very supportive during our stay and provided us with information not only about the obvious attractions the city has to offer but also shared his knowledge on the more off beaten tracks. Unnecessary to mention that he provided the keys for the apartment at the time and place agreed upon. Moreover, he offered the possibility to store our bags until we left for our departure late in the evening. So we had one more full day to enjoy without worrying about our luggage.
The place itself is a small but cozy studio which is warm furnished. A lot of extras are provided as NYC guidebooks a hub for mp3 players soap shampoo and towels. Denis even provides mascara and a hairdryer as standard equipment. So no need to bring it with you! There is a fully equipped kitchen and a fridge if you feel like cooking.
The apartment is located in a nice and vibrant part of Harlem, just a few blocks from the North entrance of central park. Supermarkets pharmacies and anything you are possibly in need of are just a stone's throw from there. It seems to us that the neighborhood is very safe as the host confirmed as well. Moreover, the apartment is very quite due to its location in a calm side street where it faces a backyard. The location is perfectly connected to the subway and you will make in about 15 min to Times Square on a direct train.
All in all we had a perfect stay at the Harlem hideaway. The only thing you could possibly nag about is the size of the bed. Since it is a not kingsize it might be a bit small for some persons. But again, we didn't see that as problem and would definitely recommend this place.
We enjoyed a great stay in New York. The studio is perfect, it´s beautiful styled and very calm. You find everything you need for your stay. The studio is situated in a small street with nice old houses and trees. Everything is near by, good restaurants and bars and a supermarket. A subway stop is round the corner. and with the express trains all main points of Manhatten and Brooklyn are easy to reach. Dennis was very kind and helpful. For our next stay in New York we will rent this wonderful studio again.
Luogo accogliente e pulito, ottima posizione per la vicinanza alle fermate della metro. La zone è ben servita da pub e ristoranti.
I had such a great time in Harlem Hideaway, the room was fantastic, very cozy, nice and clean. The host was very kind and his hospitality was one of a kind.
Looking forward to coming back real soon!
Want to feel at home in nyc?
No hesitation, go for the Harlem hideway, the studio were perfect ,furnished with style ,full équiped,very close from subway that take you everywhere in a snap, situated in a nice,quite and sécure area and supervised by Dennis ,a really nice person who organize all very smartly.
We warmfully recommanded this adress, a truly shelter in that huge city.
Dennis is a great host and the apartment is excellent!
The apartment was very neat and clean and harlem is a happening suburb with friendly people.
Séjour fantastique dans un cadre new-yorkais authentique. Le studio de Dennis est chaleureux et fonctionnel, parfait pour un trip romantique en amoureux. Cette partie d'Harlem est assez calme et respire le folklore de ce quartier. De plus le studio se trouve a deux pas de central park et de la ligne express de métro, qui dessert toutes les stations principales de Manhattan et qui se prolonge jusqu'à Brooklyn.

MOUNDSVILLE - Areas of Marshall County were hit with flooding rain late Monday and early today, sending water rushing into streets and homes. In addition, a house in Maxwell Acres was gutted by flames at the height of the severe weather.
Moundsville Fire Chief Noel Clarke said much of the water receded this morning, although several major roads saw flooding overnight.
The house in the Maxwell Acres section of Moundsville was deemed a complete loss after fire ripped through it earlier this morning. The home at 2911 Glenwood Ave. was unoccupied, though authorities said a pet may have died as a result of the blaze. The fire was believed to have started in the basement of the home.

Water inundates this area of 12th Street in Moundsville this morning where many of the area's oil and gas workers are residing while working in the area.

This home on Glenwood Avenue in Moundsville is a total loss after a fire ripped through it just after midnight.
Crews from Moundsville, Glen Dale and Limestone responded to the fire. Clarke said the response was somewhat delayed due to flooded roads in the area. Officials said this morning the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Clarke said firefighters, police and other city workers have been out in force since midnight Monday, pumping water from residents' basements, directing traffic around problem areas and beginning the cleanup process.
The worst of the mess in the city is in the 12th Street area, with mud and branches making it difficult to get around. Clarke noted the walking trail at Valley Fork Park is closed, as well as the Evan G. Roberts Recreational Complex - which is preparing to host baseball players from around the region in just a couple days.
"Debris is a concern, because we're supposed to have the Beast of the East tournament this weekend," he said, referring to the Edgar Martin Beast of the East Classic, slated Thursday through Sunday at ballfields around the Ohio Valley.
Clarke was not aware of any major roads in the city that remained closed at press time, but he said many roads remain "in bad shape."
He stressed people should travel with caution and be aware of city workers who are cleaning up.
"We don't need sightseers. We don't need traffic congestion. ... It just makes our job a lot harder to have to work around sightseers," he said.
During a meeting of the Marshall County Commission this morning, Marshall County Emergency Management Deputy Director Mike Mucheck said crews had been out since 11:30 Monday night, particularly in the Fourth Street and Maxwell Acres areas. He said while the National Weather Service said the area received 1.5 inches of rain, he believed it was actually much more.
''The water was cascading,'' he said. ''It wasn't from the creek, but the buildup from rain water and the lack of drainage.''
Around the same time, crews were dispatched to 12th Street to a trailer court, where a female living in the area while working in the gas and oil industry had requested crews to help remove her from her trailer. Water had started rising quickly, and crews were initially unable to safely extract the female from the trailer. Mucheck said additional units from Ohio County were called in and were able to remove her safely. As of this morning, the woman had returned to her trailer.
Although the situation had calmed down by this morning, Clarke is worried about the potential for more severe weather, with scattered thunderstorms and rain in the forecast for the next several days.
"The ground's pretty soaked. It's not going to take much more water," he said.
To help with cleanup efforts, the commission approved an emergency action to help cleanup efforts in the county with funds from the county's emergency line. Additionally, Mucheck said cleanup kits and Dumpsters are on their way to the county from the House of the Carpenter in Wheeling.
At mid-morning, Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Cecil said workers from the Salvation Army in Morgantown and the Red Cross were on scene assisting affected residents. He added the county is enlisting private contractors to bring heavy equipment to clear debris and collect ruined furniture.
"It's going to take quite some time," Cecil said of the cleanup process.
Tom Hart, Marshall County Emergency Management Agency director, said no one was injured during the flooding but a few people were rescued by the Wheeling Fire Department's Swift Water Rescue Team in the Maxwell Acres neighborhood and on Eastern Fourth Street.
Hart noted the flooding started about 11 p.m. Monday, but the water began receding early this morning and now residents are in cleanup mode. Several unnamed tributaries that feed into Little Grave Creek spilled over their banks.
Middle Grave Creek also flooded.
"We're also trying to get better estimates from the National Weather Service on the projected rainfall that fell," Hart said. "They were saying 1.5 inches in an hour. We're waiting to see if they've increased those totals."
With the local weather forecasts calling for more rain, Hart said residents need to pay attention to their creeks and streams and listen to their NOAA weather radios for potential hazardous weather.
J.W. Johnson, Ian Hicks and Shelley Hanson contributed to this story.

Teen Mom Farrah Abraham is celebrating her daughter Sophia's fourth birthday in a most curious way. Sure, there was cake, candles and a birthday bash complete with circus animal rides (so jealous of their elephant experience), but there was also this:
I'd like to officially caption the photos seen here in the center: "Cute, super cute, and oh my heavens — what just happened?" How does a photo shoot go from perfectly right to
jaw bra-droppingly wrong so quickly?
Farrah Abraham, on the other hand, captioned the photo, "My Minnie Me #KnowsHow2Party."
(I don't believe that's meant to be a reference to Minnie, the mouse, but rather "mini.")
I'm at a loss for words to describe what situation young, unibrow-free Sophia is supposed to be portraying in the final photo. Preschooler on the walk of shame?
The Twitter war over Farrah's shared photo goes on for branches, but while I usually tend to side with those who think the Teen Mom veterans mean no harm by their often misguided decisions, I don't think there's any way this one can pretend not to have known this particular image would cause quite the stir.
Here's a look at how other Tinseltown tots have celebrated their birthdays:
Do you think Farrah and Sophia's birthday photos are cute or went too far?

How to turn LinkedIn into a relationship filter
By Jesse Stanchak on January 11th, 2012 | 1852310 comments on this posthttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2Fsocial-media%2F2012%2F01%2F11%2Fhow-to-turn-linkedin-into-a-relationship-filter%2FHow+to+turn+LinkedIn+into+a+relationship+filter2012-01-11+12%3A14%3A16Jesse+Stanchakhttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2Fsocialmedia%2F%3Fp%3D18523
This interview is with Dave Gowel, who has been recognized as a "LinkedIn Jedi" by Inc.com and The Boston Globe. He is the CEO of RockTech and the author of "The Power in a Link: Open Doors, Close Deals, and Change the Way You Do Business Using LinkedIn" (Wiley, December 2011). Gowel co-founded RockTech with Mark Rockefeller to build software that helps corporations increase productivity through quicker adoption of underutilized technology. The interview has been edited for clarity.
A lot of people see LinkedIn as a recruiting or job hunting network. What are some of the other ways professionals can put LinkedIn to work, once they've landed that dream job?
I think one of the key ways to think about it is really a relationship filter, that when you put in all the relationships that you already have, it allows you to see the ones that you could have more easily, or get information about potential ones. That's the real element of LinkedIn that I think is not really utilized as well by primarily senior executives still looking to figure it out, as well as either sales or marketing-minded folks who are outwardly looking: Trying to have that differentiable element that gets them to the person they want to get to.
How I can I turn second- and third-degree connections into valuable first-degree ties?
Well it all starts with your first-degree connections and the quality of them. So we recommend that people create a litmus test and think actively about who they're connecting to — because then those second- and third-degree connections actually mean something. If you, say, connect to 5,000 people or you just connect to anyone for no reason, then what that does is it might increase your ability to have e-mail address for those people you connect to, but then it doesn't accurately reflect who those second- and third-degree connections are. So the way to convert them is to start with a really high quality first-degree connection pool that fits your litmus test. The one I generally use is: I'm confident that if I reach out to them, they would either respond to me via e-mail or phone and then they can help progress my business goal.
Where [LinkedIn] really gets useful is thinking about what your business goal is, in terms of who you're looking to meet, and then you create your advance searches and save them, which basically automates the. So then the search engine automatically looks through those second- or third-degree connections without you even being in LinkedIn and sends you an e-mail with the people you want to get to.
What makes a great LinkedIn status update? How is it different from a great update on Facebook or Twitter or some other social network?
I think every social network has a target audience and people know the dynamics are different for different networks. Twitter is not necessarily mutual acceptance; Facebook is much more social, perhaps more fun. In my mind, in LinkedIn people generally have one key professional focus … and therefore I think it makes sense to think about, before you send a status update, a couple of things. One: Who are you connected to and who do you want to actually see your status update? And also, what you'd want them to do? … And then, the frequency which would be overwhelming to those people — because a lot of time people get excited with that ability to send lots of status updates. But it's really [important] that you don't overwhelm them, because LinkedIn does have the ability to hide status updates.
How much does an employee's profile reflect on their employer's brand? Are there ways companies can use their employees LinkedIn presence to improve the way a brand is perceived?
That depends on the kind of business. So a consulting firm may have more person-to-person interaction with clients and employees whereas other businesses may have less interaction. But, in general, what we're seeing is that the customer of any … product or service has more access to see who's actually responsible for building or delivering that. So without a doubt, if somebody wants to do business with a company, they're going to look at the company page, which has a lot of information about that company, but what's even more valuable are the people that are in there. …
In terms of how a company can use the individuals' profile pages, I think it's important that companies recognize that the individual owns their LinkedIn profile. If any company tries to infringe on that, then that starts messing with the dynamic of who people will connect to and how they'll use it or how they won't use it. … Don't send out a boilerplate thing that's impersonal — because this is still a socially inclined network — but provide some guidance. 'To be consistent with the message that we want to project as a company, to align us all, we'd appreciate these keywords, these messages.' Maybe give recommendations for your peers or request recommendations from your clients.
What's the biggest mistake you see people making on LinkedIn?
Depends on the person. Generally, I think it's over-excitement about the potential. And either trying to say too much and including way too much information in a profile that's overwhelming, or doing too many status updates or group postings too often. Or not thinking about who their target market is and what they're trying to accomplish.
I think it's important to think of LinkedIn as a business tool that is going to accomplish a goal for you. Now, that goal can change throughout the lifetime of your career. So for instance, if you're job searching now and you get that job and you become a salesperson, well then you want to … use LinkedIn in a way that's going to help you do lots of sales. And now, leading a bunch of sales people, you have to think as a leader hiring other people.
Is there a big difference, in terms of best practices, in terms of how job seekers use LinkedIn and sales professionals use it?
I would say the basics are generally the same. It's always important, whenever you're in a networking situation, you don't want to be seen as 'that guy' who's just looking to do something for themselves. … Generally, the way I break it down is: Actively look to give before you receive — which I think applies to both. If you can provide some value or some information to a client when you're selling, that's equally as valuable as when you're trying to meet somebody and get an introduction to something that can get you a job, the mutual contact is someone you might want to try to make an introduction for, do something of value for. …
The difference is that when you're job seeking it's a lot harder to know who has the relationships that are about to open up a position. There's a lot of knowledge about those job that are out there now — but the really valuable ones that you can get to are the ones that haven't been posted, that when someone who you know happens to be like 'I just talking to my friend and he said that they're going to be opening up a position. I think you'd be a good fit for' — obviously the earlier you can get in, the better chance you'll have of getting an early interview and maybe even getting the job before they post it.
What's your take on Facebook apps such as BeKnown that are trying to offer a LinkedIn experience within Facebook?
I think it's still a very much evolving ecosystem. There's a lot of data out there, there's a lot of relationships and there's a lot of motivation for people to use their relationships to help other people find jobs, either because of their job or because they're friends. So it's a very interesting market for me, because I think it still has a lot to be proven in terms of how people are going to be most comfortable sharing knowledge, making introductions and referrals, etc. I think it's important to watch them all if you are a job seeker.

Great Post!!
@AvnetRetailPath says:
I agree. I had my twitter account forwarded to my LinkedIn account and had many of my LinkedIn connections asking me about why I was doing so many post. I could tell they did not like. So now I try to only post to LinkedIn if I think it will be relevant. If someone wants to get all my twitter feeds they can follow me on my twitter account.
Richard Lock says:
I agree. I do have connections between my twitter account and LinkedIn, but have it set so that I have to manually decide if a tweet is going to my LinkedIn status. I tend to only use that for new blog articles that are likely to be interesting and relevant to my contacts. It has proved to be an effective approach for me.

In fact, I liked it so much I'm going to tweet it even though my tweets go to my linkedin account. *DISCLAIMER* Since BOTH audiences dig social media 411 I still feel ok about it though I definitely get why tweets should pretty much NEVER go to facebook – i.e. Feed looks REALLY funky — @ replies and #hashtags on FB anyone?) – Ditto any FB auto-post IMHO

Several of my LinkedIn connections have made the mistake of linking their Twitter feeds to LinkedIn status updates. These get permanently hidden as soon as the torrent begins to flow. If I cared what you had for lunch or what causes or music you thought were worthy of re-tweeting, I'd subscribe to your Twitter feed directly. This "feature" is the dumbest move LinkedIn has ever made.

I agree with Bruce that the option to let users tie their Twitter account to LinkedIn wasn't a very smart move. I take it that they wanted to hop on the newsfeed bandwagon and saw that as a viable option. They were late in the game. It is clearly not what the LinkedIn community wants to see. Since that fact has been established it is on the users to exercise self control. Maybe this even helps to separate the overly agressive community members from the more valuable resources.
Ozio Media says:
There are many good points here, especially when discussing LinkedIn as a business tool, and using it to accomplish a goal. There has been such a rush to social media outlets without a lot of education as to their ability and purpose. Much like businesses need to establish a social media strategy, individuals should do the same. That's particularly true when the two sides meet, such as when a company sets up a page and asks its employees to sign up. In that case, synergy between the parties is critical.
