The weather is getting warmer, the buds on the trees are blossoming, the sun is shining — which can only mean one thing: music festival season has arrived!
To celebrate festival season, and our upcoming CBC Music Festival on May 25, we asked you what bands you'd have in the lineup for your Canadian dream festival. You were allowed to choose any Canadian bands you wanted (even if they don't exist any more), at any venue you could imagine.
The result: the Too Good To Be True Canadian Music Festival!
Of course, it's too good to be true, so it's not actually going to happen in real life, but this playlist includes songs from the bands on your dream festival lineup. All you have to do is use your imagination, and it will be like we're hanging out at the best festival that never happened!
Listen to the Too Good To Be True Canadian music festival playlist
To help you really get into it, here's the map of the venue, the spectacular Canada Island.
Mountains to the west! Tundra to the north! The Canadian Shield! Beaches! And all of the Canadian activities you could ever want! This is a festival where anything is possible — ice fishing, skiing, canoeing, camping in trees. Oh, and all of the porta-potties are made of solid gold.
So, what bands are you excited for? Who do you think would have the best set? What zone will you be hanging out in? What real festivals will you be checking out this summer?
Sam Roberts Band, Of Monsters and Men, Kathleen Edwards, Sloan, more to play inaugural CBCMusic.ca Festival
happy hump day!
The 'seal club dance tent' is making me chuckle.
This is the Day for Happy Humps?
Goodie goodie...
I really like the happy leaning building, just to the right of the Raccoon stage, lower left.
And yes, the Seal Club Dance Tent is the best!
There needs to be a denim clothier and tailor station.
4: of course! A real oversight.
Good Morning!
What about a maple syrup jacuzzi?
so: organic water.
am I just being a crusty cynic or is the world gone mad with all things organic?
is the marketing man buying into it, or is he laughing all the way to the bank?
For second there I thought someone booked a gig that I didn't know about. Freaked me out.
t&c, "everyone" has gone into producing "organic" because a lot of people go for that meliorating adjective. Fair basis (no chemicals*), but definite market exploitation by all interested.
* But then again, chemicals are everywhere in life; and all life is organic. Language is too coarse sometimes.
Organic Water??? That's funny. Something has to be alive (or have carbon in it) to be organic doesn't it?
@old abe
that's what I always thought!
this looks like a pretty good gig :-)
"Organic": sense 1, carbon, anything that is or was alive.
"Organic", sense commercial: no chemicals. It's a code word.
The French is even 'worse': biologique. Des carottes biologiques.
Almost identical to the English in its nonsense.
"Organic water" is, of course, hilarious.
I only drink molecular water, that's water with molecules in it. Mmmm, tasty molecules.
16: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Molecular water! I loooooooove, I'll have to start drinking that!
(It's not made by Coke or Pepsi, is it?)
Okay, not for everyone: maybe it's "organic water" because the fish piss in it? (stoopid fish)
I am still a little sad that my oats (quaker) are a pepsico product.
We'll hate the weather with you Pat. Stupid weather.
How about Saskatchewan?
24: sorry, I'd misread.
TRH; thx.
Yup, deep frozen them.
Off cycling before the rains!
Whoever put together that venue map...pure genius!
I wish Canada Island was a real venue. Though if it existed in real life it would be called "Rockstar Energy Drink, in conjunction with Frito Lays, presents Rogers Wireless's Canada Island"
I would also add Portico and Library Voices to that fanstasy list.
Also, right now, I am most excited to see Broken Social Scene at Field Trip in June! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
@erinev - This whole thing is the brainwork of Raina, including the map!
It's sad that Young Galaxy has only one good song.
@M_C - unless that song is Destroyer, they've got at least two
33- well done Raina!
flugelhorns are awesome.
I'm having issues this morning with the stream from the CBC music app. Does the stream keep stopping for anyone else?
yeah. that's why I am listening to something else.
@TheRadiohead Soon spring will get to Winnipeg, and all of your flowers will bloom! Side note, I just bought a fiddle plant for my apartment, mostly because it's called a fiddle plant.
What? No beer tent? WTH?
On the other hand, I heartily approve of the Cougar Stage.
TRH - here's a happy thought for you. In two months, the days start getting shorter.
Good Morning World! It's New Comic Day!
Awesome post / bands / venue, I would love to go!
Glad to see YSP made the list, although they should be listed right under Death from Above :P
TRH, 39, i think you said you're not going to HCFF...so what music festivals are you going to this summer? me and my lovely wife want to make it up there for another R3 meetup
I did that on the weekend but with a radiator plant.
45 - Thanks for nothing...
R3 sounded like a darned rock station, for a couple of songs.
I checked.
R3 had flaked out, so the iTunes had gone to Central Rock.
All is ormal now.
(Hee hee hee: "ormal")
xcanuck, 44, yup, they should have beer I.V. backpacks and a whiskey tent with whiskey casks..cask strength and ice cubes from the polar ice bergs..
I'm here for you, Russ. As always.
I switched from the CBC music app to listen with iTunes on my desktop and it keeps jumping to the Central Rock station! GRRRRRRRR!
@hotpatch [51] NOW you're talking my kind of festival! Maybe get a corporate sponsor to throw in complimentary ibuprofen packages with your festival wristband?
re 51 ... and don't forget some of Craig Norris's famous ham sandwich whisky in a bag
Shonica, when the R3 signal craps out, iTunes defaults down by one.
I think this phenomenon is our equivalent of the stream crapping out on the app, referred to above.
Did you all see this? CBC KW
Oh that was unpleasant!
Superweird: it's human, not a space alien, it may have lived 5 or 6 years,
(another R3 crapout)
but it was like six inches long. HUH?
(Shon, at least we KNEW about it that time)
Shonica, "can't find" your link...
I'm off for a minute. Meaning 20.
Breakfast calls. I mean it's about time, um, the time being 10:30.
Try this
64: yup.
There seems to be a technical glitch with the stream this morning, Sorry about that, we're doing everything we can to get it back up and running!
CBCKW: yow.
""This was a regrettable oversight," said Angus McKinnon, a spokesman for CBC. (...)"
I like The Ladies of Montreal more than The Cold Winds of Montreal.
I don't like either.
@BFO #68 - Get out of my head.
@MSteve #69 - Well, you hate music...so there's that :P
shonica, 64, so we get Craigory Norris back?... i figured it was just a matter of time..
Gotta say, Canada Island is adorable, but an imaginary stacked Canadian festival line up for me would be WAYYY more interesting than that. Throw in Blue-era Joni Mitchell or something and we'll talk.
Speaking of which, where are the women? And the non-rock-centric acts? (I know there's a sprinkling of them but barely.)
This festival is not too good to be true, it's more like, take perfectly plausible and common acts on the festival circuit from slightly staggered years and put them all on stage together.
hotpatch, Sadly no!
i'm waiting for my invitation to the secret cub reunion show during this festival.
The only thing there that I feel is too good to be true is The Unicorns.... sigh.
Well, that's adorable!
Heh! Love it.
Also, good morning!
#66PeDrO... Giving me "the Man behind the Curtain" vibe. Especially with that blog pic.
shonica, i don't want to advocate anything nefarious but a little kidnapping (in this case grownup mannapping) won't hurt nobody..and we can make Norris broadcast 24-7, he likes to dominate the air waves anyway
ACK!! An American Idol contestant just assaulted my ears! I think I will get off itunes and back to the CBC music app. Silence is preferable in this case I think!
TRH, 77, we're open for anything right now, it's just a matter of timing with work, etc. WFF, that's the Winnipeg Folk Festival? (i'm assuming its not the What the Fuck Festival - heard that's sold out anyway)
Hey #44 @xcanuck - there's no beer tent because YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BOOZE ANYWHERE YOU LIKE! And guess what? It's BYOB! No $12 cups of crappy beer at THIS festival! (Although, I'm sure you can get some cheap mixed drink in the Seal Club... and if you're not a drinker, there's always the Smoke Shack nestled in those mountains to the West.)
@Raina [83] Truly a festival of the people, for the people, by the people. Cheers!
That is a great festival.
Nice map!
@teaandcartography #85 why thank you!
Raina, 83, your festival is looking better all the time, think how much extra money i'll have for CD's & T shirts!
See all of you all later, I have to go and do some errands!
This really is the best festival. I want to go to Canada Island.
It needs a floating stage so you can swim and float on a tube while enjoying the show. Kaslo has a floating stage.
You know what's awesome?
We're talkin' summer festivals and it's finally pretty nice out today! FEELS RIGHT! I like.
Are there seal burgers available? If there is, I'll go.
Oh, it's snowing here, by the way.
Oh, hi guys.
Better than a floating stage, there is a pirate ship that arrives and onboard that ship are all the bands people have mentioned who were not invited to play, but show up and play anyway. They also start a waterballoon/snowball fight with Canada Island.
Let me just add Propagandhi, Nomeansno, Black Mountain, Maestro Fresh Wes, Eric's Trip, Mood Ruff, and Stompin' Tom to that Pirate Ship.
OMG T&C even your sneaky web link for R3 is cutting out!!! First time ever since I started using it... @Raina - as a geographer I compliment your map ;-)
Oh, it's 10 degrees and sunny here, by the way.
I'm not taking that bait Mr. Of Doom!
steph, 91, rise & shine, oh i now see that you where here earlier back at#78. WFF? is that the Winnipeg Folk Festival? oh, and did you hear Craig Norris is coming back (64&72)
Fine, if you don't like the way we program the music anymore, you get no music!
That festival looks pretty great to me. I like the additions to the island too.
I guess a pirate ship needs Coeur De Pirate and the Smugglers as well or else this whole thing is just too implausible.
As much as I would like to see Stompin' Tom, I would prefer not to be raising the dead for this show. I don't have any experience in crowd control of the undead.
I wouldn't mind seeing Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees.
see ya...Ranger and i are off to lunch
KoD: it's 12 and overcast here. In my little front garden, daffodils are happily yellow.
They'll just make him a hologram. It will be very tasteful.
Wait wait wait.
Looking at the poster...
The Kramdens are playing, but not The Smugglers???
Chopz better not get here any time soon. He'd be enraged that Kardi is not on that lineup.
Don't forget to put a "H" on his forehead!
I think they just want us to listen to more ads on here.
Also: shouldn't the New Pornographers be involved, too?
It's working CBC. Now that you've put them just out of reach I desperately want to hear all of these songs one more time.
@binsy - Snow?
Oh sorry. Here you go.
Re The Matinee: They did say in that thread on FB that more dates will be added. I am sure Wpg will be on there. Matt L had told me Friday night that there would be a tour announcement. Yay! Northcote use to live here and it will be great to see him again too. :D
@Kirk - Smugglers? never heard of them.
I'm digging the bands for that to good to be true music fest! The venue looks cool too!
Great Map Lana. Hey GIS nerds, what is the map missing?
A scale.
@Binsy - Oh yeah. I remember doing a science report on "snow" in grade 7. Did it for the curiosity element.
Supposed to be 89 here today. That's 31 the way you measure it.
#117 high five stevierak!
Cool map Raina!
Hello hello hello! Happy Hump Day! Excited to see The Matinee again -- so, Northcote is good @darbar? Not familiar with him...
Great concert! Features that great band, The Tracheal Drip!
iTunes Radio Stream listeners: Is anyone else having a problem with their iTunes where it randomly cuts out the stream and starts broadcasting CBC Radio One Calgary? suuuuuuuuuuuuuper annoying
Please let me hear this Tegan and Sara song!!!! I'm sorry I ever said they were the worst thing that ever happened to any of my five senses!!!! I take it all back CBC internet lords!!!!
(The Radically Ripped?)
@yuletide It was Raina's handiwork! Artist/ band that you'd be most excited to see... GO!
I've only seen Northcote once, doing a short opening set, but I remember thinking he was a better-than-average generic singer/songwriter type. Think Andy Shauf or Leif Volleyball Vollebekk.
You're usually pretty cool . . .
124: mine starts.... Central Rock. And yes, Pedro knows.
Hey @Benoit are you going to the Writer's Fest thing with Jim Bryson tomorrow?
@laurenE - everyone using every listening device is having problems with the stream today!
@Hedgehogfriend - I think Northcote is awesome and a really great guy. He was in the Means years ago. He is Matt Goud that was in the Means years ago.
Thanks @kirkO'Doom [128] -- didn't think too much of the last band the Matinee opened for...probably just me though....
Fuck me, super blogs screw me up every time. I never know if I'm in the right place.
@binsy [129] - Hmmm. Kind of an odd way of giving a compliment.
Don't slip on the ice now.
Great thanks @darbar!
Grant: I immediately thought "Do they like it when you wear shorts to work?" tsk tsk. ... I wish I could wear shorts to work ... I wear cardigans in the middle of July stupid air conditioning.
jdurz: Thanks for the heads up.
Grant, are you wearing your hairy pants?
Ive been S.A.W.-ing for a few weeks now Grant!
131: um, I guess not. (Jimbo is great, but not a fave of mine.) Also, rather ignorant of the thing.
Currently DuckDuckGoing*.
*Doesn't work like "googling", does it?
I'm thinking CBC needs to hire back some IT Guys.
Oh hey, I just realized Grant is still alive!
You didn't kick the bucket via tainted loaf!!!
re: SAW - Shorts at Work
I once accidentally instituted SAW at a workplace that previously prohibited shorts by showing up wearing shorts. I didn't know about the policy, and it got the conversation started, and lo and behold - shorts at work now A-OK! This is basically the highlight of my career so far.
I'd be at The Moose Stage with my matching knuckle...
There are going to be several singers there @Benoit, curated by Alan Neal for CBC All in a Day
I love that The Unicorns got top billing
I have had a "Too Good To Be True" festival in mind for many years. It would be headlined by Broken Social Scene, and feature all related bands. Stars, Metric, Feist, Jason Collett, Apostle of Hustle, etc etc.
And in the same vein as the Bonfire Ball or the Monsters of Folk tour, the show wouldn't necessarily be one band after the other, but maybe two or three distinct sets of members coming on and off stage, playing on each others songs and collaborating.
BUT, now it seems like the closest thing to this possible will be happening at that Field Trip thing AND I WON'T BE THERE. :( :(
I mean from All in a Day
Don't . . . trip . . . on good weather . . . stuff . . .
Hey yeah Grant did you ever find out whence came the loaf?
@binsy - Well, when I go for a walk in Capitol Park across the street I do have to watch where I step. Oranges fall out of the trees. And on windy days, the falling palm fronds can impale you.
I had music just long enough to catch the Unicorns. I guess this simulates moving from one stage to another.
@ Lana 127; Top 3 would be Thrush Hermit, Death from Above, and Handsome Furs.
The Thrush Hermit reunion show was super fun!
Northcote's video series about his new album coming out.
It's f**king snow right now! (channeling my inner TRH). I mean, I know we're north of Windsor but seriously....
Triple-H: it's sold out. Neal, while wuite worthy, is not a fave either. Thats said, the idea and the (sold-out) show seem like fun.
Over the next while, I'm looking forward to Shotgun Jimmie on Friday and The Burning Hell (both at Raw Sugar), and in the middle, Tom Wilson & al. at the Sheep on Saturday.
Yeah, well how are all of California's NHL teams doing? Not good I bet! Probably not even in the playoffs!
@TheRadiohead do you need help with plans for Phoenix?
@Kirk: that Bonfire Ball tour was unreal. I think I paid all of $20 and saw it in a tiny venue. Easily one of my favourite concert experiences.
Grant has posted anything yet - GRANT DID THE LOAF/CAKE TAKE YOU?!?!?!?!? IS THIS AN IMPOSTOR?
#159 - North of Windsor is still south of Vancouver. We feel for you.
Oh, there you are...phew!
160: edit out one sold out, please.
wuite = quite
Ugh, 3rd time my stream has cut out in 12 minutes!!!
I don't really have $2,000, but in MI we have $.10 deposit on pop cans and bottles...I'd find my way to this festival and you could call me the Can Man!
@RobSmith OMG the lemon loaf, I forgot about it! Shit! It's at my desk...
What the arf is going on with the stream today? Did it eat bad cake?
Pedro: IT'S GETTING MORE FREQUENT!
5th time in 13 mins ...
It's completely gone, kaplooie! I need a shower.
Later campers.
@theRadioHead #158
I agree. I really appreciate the creativity.
Hello out there!
I think there will need to be more fembots later, so sad to have them cut out three times :(
Bad stream today, yeah.
I guess I'll go brush my teeth.
Very cool @darbar [157] -- now I am definitely doubly excited. Cheers!
Trying to work and listen is a chore. Going to go now. Maybe it will be fixed in the afternoon. Backl to the podcasts.
No stream so I'm going to go listen to Colour Code's "May" in honour of @TRH...
Awwww I am SO bummed to be missing the Dawson City Music Festival this summer! :( My best friend decided (in her infinite wisdom) to book her wedding on the same weekend!!!!! There are only a few must-do activities and events up here in the Yukon in the summer, and DCMF definitely is one of those things. It's like an unwritten rule that everyone who cares about music and partying heads up to Dawson for the Music Festival. I even tried to reason with her to get her to change the date - to no avail. Since I'm in the wedding party I can't bail on the wedding, but every time I hear about the festival I get sad/mad all over again...
OH NO! Stream interruption trouble?! We're not talking about McFlyer trying to pass another stone are we?
Toronto Island is a pretty cool place for a festival!
Keep me posted on the stream issues... (blog, not mcflyer)
The CBC app seems to be working now...
Stream seems to be back and working well now.
(on a less yelly note, the stream seems to work better in IE)
@burgessjackie -What the hell is with people planning weddings on folk fest weekends. I have missed a few Regina Folk Fests due to weddings. Ugh.
We really need to setup a TICKETS link on here which redirects to the CBC R3 Picnic Beer Fund paypal account.
Balls it's gone again.
OK - about tenth time the stream has cut out for me in the last few minutes. Going to lunch.
@iamRS - you just jinxed my stream!
(was that petulant enough?)
I really enjoyed the Two Hours Traffic set Friday night at the Junofest. :)
@Darbar: i give bad gifts to people who have weddings on Folk Fest weekends. Or long weekends. Or weekends with Saturdays in 'em.
Oh hey Grant -- congrats on finishing your book *high five*!
@binsy - Hockey? It's baseball season, son.
Hey ya'll- happy hump day!
Hi blog, good day! When the stream is problematic, I keep different devices cued up (IPod, IPad, Logitech Internet radio), so if the stream dies on my computer (my first choice), I have other options which then seem to work. I realize I'm in a home office, so I have more flexibility than folks working regular jobs, but if you can create any redundancy it may save you the annoyance of losing Grant's dulcet tones and tunes.
@Grant, saw your Facebook post- congrats on finishing the book!
@Lee: hey now, the playoffs haven't even started.
Happy Wenzeeday! Wait, wrong show?
"The System" is a joke if it doesn't have Wolf Parade's very best song, "I'll Believe In Anything" in it!
AS for real festivals, I've actually been pretty UN-stoked by most lineups this year.
I'll probably be going to Live at Squamish The Squamish Valley Music Festival. But I am really only excited to see Queens of the Stone Age. The rest of the lineup is... okay...
I will definitely be going to the Keloha Festival, though, the one lineup that has me most excited. Mute Math, Arkells, The Trews, then a bunch of local bands like The Zolas, Yukon Blonde, The Matinee and more.
Yay Wild Wild Westcrunch, Queen of the Road!
Also, are there any lemon loaf updates?
I watched a baseball game once. I haven't checked lately to see if it has ended yet.
I'm excited for the WFF lineup. Or perhaps that's just because it'll be my first year there in over a decade
There is no one I would not want to see on the WFF lineup -- it will be my first!
Waiting for lemon loaf update, @LauraB
WFF looks pretty great. I really hope I can make that happen.
This heart's off line.
@Laura Beth the lemon loaf sits at my desk and remains unopened!
@BINSY you can't hear anything?!?
Wait 5 minutes.
popping on to ask if anyone else is finding the stream really glitch-y today or if it's just my connection?
Gone again.
@FJ: join the chorus.
The worst is going through another ad every time I need to restart the stream today.
Oh gosh @darbar I'm keeping a good thought, hope you can make it!
@vegangoalie - Most of these came from who was listening to the show a week or two ago. Should have been here. :p
I haven't had to go through any ads when I restart. Just click pause then play, and it comes back.
C'mon Grant! I'm paying for this shit with my tax dollars!
Sometimes that works, but most of the time I've had to start over.
I thought the stream issues were just caused by my connection crapping out.
Ok kids catch up with you in the car (if Sirius is working) -- off to get my tires changed. Spring has arrived (no matter what the thermometer says!)
Grant, it's like you planned this set just for me. All my favourites!!!
@Hedgehogfriend - It is a high priority for me, so I think I can do it. :)
@robin_m - You and me both sista!
cbc.ca is messed up for me as well. Most of the headlines don't show up. Anyone else?
@smallie - I see that now. Didn't want to get caught in blog vortex by reading previous posts ;)
Yay @darbar!
@smalliebigs [205] (psst) Just between you and me, this is just a tit-for-tat exchange with Binsy and me, started off with him complaining that it's snowing again up there. (Who knew?) It escalated into a dis on California NHL hockey teams. But down here, it's the Boys of Summer time.
I've been to many hockey games in my life and think the sport is thrilling. But don't tell Binsy that.
I've been using this blog for like a month now, and JUST figured out that I can do newest first and read them from the bottom of the screen. I've been scrolling down to comment and getting lost every. single. time. It's the small things!
WFF: is Danny Michel playing with his Belize orchestra? I think that might be the folk fest "circuit" sleeper hit this year!!!
And the fact is that California has three teams in the playoffs, so no real dis there. Canada has 4 at the most.
Grant, who is going to be playing by the beer garden, that's where I"ll be at, so hopefully someone great...here we go!
That is the word on the street Grant!
@nitz what's going on?!?
@binsy [243] - Who knew?
@mcfflyer #247
That "who knew?" is the worst burn of the day!
@Grant I'm hearing NOW. It's gone out at least 6 times though...it's OK, Jays game is on in half an hour.
@Backwater Brewery - No beer garden. We can byob and drink wherever we want!
Aaaaand gone again, Jays PRE-game show here I come!
@nitz sorry bout that! Missing some hella good music!!!!
I just keep hitting pause/play to get the stream going again.
Yep. Gone here too.
2 more stream cut outs in the last minute ... oh boy. I was really looking forward to this show, may need to switch to rdio this afternoon.
Hey Grant, the stream keeps cutting out for me!
First of all: Grimes is awesome
Secondly: @binsy - my trick to not listen to ads is to keep clicking the "play" button until I get the 5 second "you're watching CBC" ad. Or sometimes after 3 or so clicks, it just starts playing the stream without an ad.
@Lee: Anaheim is actually likely a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs! I don't much care for them because that's where one-time beloved (and now despised) D-man Chris Pronger left Edmonton for, but the quality of the team can't be denied.
@Grant: what's the story on Danny Michel's Belize Orchestra? I know he's been great previously.
Stream problems for me too :( Is there any way that is working?
SORRY FOLKS!!! I'll open up the back of the computer and make sure the squirrel is still running on the wheel...
I think we can safely say the system is glitched for almost everyone today.
@Grant - re:Stream Issues (not Lee's) I usually have a VERY reliable stream...but I have had to "pause, play" about 8 times in the last ten minutes.
@Grant #260, did you give it some of the cake?
Yeah, it's cut out on all my devices. On my IPad: "unknown stream error has occurred"
@Grant - Also, I have the bangers swapping my snow tires for summer tires today. I will inspect the job closely.
Just came back . . .
Pretty sure there's no such thing as Cowichan Lake, Vancouver Island.
Yeah, @GarfieldUK, I think CBC's computer ate @Grant's lemon loaf.
Hey Grant Canada Island has a replica CN Tower, but is missing a blog schnog headquarters? What gives?
I would have thought KE would be playing the "Beaver" stage, but whatever stage she's at, that's where I'll be!
A chance to get a beer and use the can!
@binsy what's it called them, Mr. Trebek?
@jdurley BABOOM!
@binsy - you're being a tad picky, no?
Cowichan Bay or Cowichan Valley are places. Dante DeCaro is from Cowichan Valley, I think. Not sure aboot Dan Boekner.
WHOA! I was told that the stream cut out is because of the graphic for the fake festival going viral! Wha...?!?! Not sure how the two are connected... where is Prince Farming?!?
Give me a break, it's snowing!
@binsy are you going to go head to head with me on Canadian music trivia? Dante DeCaro is from Cobble Hill, Vancouver Island, and Dan Boeckner is from COWICHAN LAKE, VANCOUVER ISLAND! STEP DOWN, FLATLANDER!
What's up with the stream today?
At Grant, this is B.C.! I pay a lot of good money for R3 and this crap hap-wait I don't pay anything-carry on.
@jojodillon you're totally right, there absolutely should be a blog schnog shack. And the Ice Fishing tent should be called "PJ's Hotbox".
(Cobble Hill is in the Cowichan Valley though, so technically . . .)
Voice double - Dan Mangan and dude from Mumford and Sons. I have to check every time I hear them now.
Word from our techies: "we are aware of the problem with both our web stream and Lee Hower's urine stream cutting in and out and we are working on both issues and hope to have them resolved as soon as possible".
I heard a rumour that there is a new Dan Mangan song somewhere on the CBC website, does anyone know about this? Or where I can find it?
Sorry for the streaming issues today, something is up...
We're all looking into it right now.
You will find me hanging out at the Cougar stage. rawr.
Ooo a megablerg...
This is still my favourite Mother Mother tune.
With The Stand a close second.
sure didn't need to read 284. You're gross GL. haha
binsy - for shame. You are from the Island and should have known that was a place. Granted, having Cowichan Bay, Valley, and Lake all in the same area is silly and confusing
Dear Grant. Just remember that I took the time to record and send you the DVD on Johnny Carson, your hero.
Just remember that.
I don't know aboot all of you, but I was blaming Jonas Woost(?) this whole time.
@Kirk me too, in that order! NEED TO SEE IT LIVE.
Something to watch for next time the stream cuts out.
#286 Thanks, @Jonas. It's been okay for me the past ten minutes. Not so good before that.
Thanks for cutting me some slack there. It was actually Jonas Woost who told me that Cowichan Lake is not a place.
Jonas Woost is one of our executive producers here at CBC Music!
the stream pauses remind me of frustratingly listening to my parent's satellite radio on Yukon road trips through constant periods of 'no service available'
There's no such thing as Jonas Woost!
@Mcflyer thank you for that!
Also, there's Greg Keelor singing Lost Together at a karaoke bar.
Ok, now I'm worried that just my stream is being cut off for being obnoxious.
@jdurley wow, that shark and duck just made my week!
Grant is there an Iron Throne today? If so, it's only right that you subtract out every post that mentions the stream cutting out...but not this one. This one counts!
Cutting out for me too now. I just started to enjoy Maylee Todd.
@binsy - now I'm picturing Jonas Woost sitting at his computer, watching the blog, and every time @binsy posts something obnoxious, hitting a big red "cut stream" button, and then laughing maniacally.
@jdurley: one of the perks of the job.
Now he's just messing with grant.

haha - the 'gaps' (hard stops?) in this song sound like the stream is cutting out
Passenger 24, am I the only moron who thinks the Melissa McClelland version destroys the Whitehorse version?
@jojodillon yes!
Honestly the only reason I keep mentioning that the stream is out, is just so that "Jonas Woost" (not real) knows what we're hearing. I'm hoping it's helpful, not just complaining.

AMEN to the last post, NAS. Also worth noting that Peverley is 2g 3a and 5pts with a -5 on the other wing. Should we send him down too?
Bourque made several nice passes on the PP last game and also had a few good keep-ins to keep the play going in the zone. Bourque is serviceable and I think ANY winger that flanks Kelly is not going to get many chances 5-on-5.

50 Cent has addressed Justin Bieber, a singer who recently had two videos released where he is using the n-word and making other racist remarks.
"I don't think he's racist," 50 Cent says in an interview with The Sun, according to the Daily Mail. "I don't think he even knows who he is at this point. He's so young. When you see people become huge stars real early, it's tough for them."
50 Cent elaborates on this, explaining why he feels it's been difficult for Bieber.
"You have to grow up with all these expectations," 50 says. "I think Justin's still a baby and he's lost."
50 Cent also describes what it was like to hang out with Bieber, both friends of boxer Floyd Mayweather.
50 says Bieber was a "young kid who just wanted to chill."
Recently, Mack Maine said Young Money would continue working with Justin Bieber. However, Bieber has also been critcized by artists. Lupe Fiasco recently wondered if Bieber would receive the same treatment as Donald Sterling, the former Los Angeles Clippers owner who was banned from the NBA for life for making racist remarks.
"I wonder if Justin Bieber is going to get the same treatment as Donald Sterling," Fiasco said. "I don't think he will. It's an absurd twist of fate. Absurd thing. I guess that's how the universe puts things out...It'll test you with this. See how people react. Then you get somebody who we quote-unquote 'like' who says it and says it even more racist-ier. And we don't bat an eyelash. It becomes this absurd thing. That's why I don't even deal with it...Whatever. I don't really care either way. It's just interesting to point out."

November 1, 1999
Since 1834, when seven physicians founded the institution that eventually became Tulane University to combat tropical diseases that plagued New Orleans, the university has worked to eradicate infectious diseases ranging from AIDS to tuberculosis.
On Dec. 1, 1999, World AIDS Day, Tulane's medical center expanded on this tradition by inaugurating its Center for Infectious Diseases. A $2.1-million grant from medical center chancellor John LaRosa's office created the center, which encompasses basic research and clinical and public health initiatives at Tulane's School of Medicine, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Tulane Regional Primate Research Center.
"What makes this center unique is that it takes advantage of all three of the medical centers major units," LaRosa said. "Problems related to infectious diseases will continue to be serious medical and public health issues and must be at the forefront of our research centers of academic excellence."
The center's director is Donald Krogstad, William Henderson Professor of Tropical Medicine and department chair, who has spent more than two decades researching malaria in the lab and the field. Krogstad said the center builds on Tulane's significant amount of activities focusing on infectious diseases. Infectious disease-related research accounts for 23 percent of the medical centers extramural funding, which is a huge fraction, he said.
A driving force for forming the center is based on whats already here in terms of people. The center has a critical mass of expertise that includes not only basic science, but also clinical expertise as well as expertise in going out in the community and being involved in public health.
To underscore the importance of work on infectious diseases, the center's dedication ceremony included comments from Russell Van Dyke, director of the Tulane-Louisiana State University Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Unit. Van Dyke described how work at his unit contributed to a better understanding of how infants become infected with HIV while in their mothers' wombs and how transmission is reduced through the use of drug therapy.
We now have the means to reduce the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV by two-thirds by the administration of the drug AZT, Van Dyke said. He added that the New Orleans pediatric unit has seen only one infant born with HIV this year. In 1995, 16 children were born infected with the virus in the Greater New Orleans area. AIDS is a focus area of the center, Krogstad says, and builds on the work at both the Pediatric and Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Units run by Tulane and LSU.
In addition to AIDS, other infectious diseases currently studied at Tulane include tuberculosis, Lyme disease, malaria, microsporidiosis, mosquito-transmitted encephalitis, dengue fever, cholera and other diarrheal diseases and bacterial infections. Moving laboratory discoveries concerning these diseases into the clinic and community is called translational research, Krogstad said. The primate center plays an important role in this area.
The primate center is an incredibly important resource in that we can frequently obtain data from studies of non-human primates that will greatly strengthen the case for human studies, he said. The center researchers can also carry out human clinical trials at the General Clinical Research Center at Charity Hospital, a joint Tulane and LSU program.
In addition to basic and translational research that may lead to the development of drugs, vaccines and other interventions, the center will focus on clinical activities. Examples are a travel medicine clinic for people traveling overseas and a clinic that focuses on opportunistic infections associated with cancer chemotherapy and transplantation surgery.
In the area of community-related public health efforts, Krogstad said promoting immunizations will be a primary goal, overseas and locally. One of our goals is to have every politician convinced that the ultimate photo op is being photographed next to a child getting a shot, he said. If we succeed with that, it will transform the way people fund and supply immunization clinics.
At the dedication ceremony, Tulane also honored Margaret Smith, professor emeritus of pediatrics, for her lifelong contributions to research in pediatric infectious diseases. Smith recalled her work in the Charity Hospital wards over the past five decades. We dealt with diphtheria, whooping cough and polio, and we took care of our patients the best way we could, Smith said. Now, Im happy to see the emphasis is on preventing disease. That's a turnaround from the point of view in the past.
LaRosa agreed with Smith's observation. Well never be at a place where well cure all infectious diseases, he said. But we can make great strides in preventing them. (Inside Tulane, 1/01/99)

A Democratic candidate for governor, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, is criticizing Gov. John Kasich ahead of the governor's State of the State speech. in the days leading up to Gov. John Kasich's State of the State address.
While FitzGerald doesn't know exactly what Kasich is going to say in his speech, the candidate can assume that the governor is going to try and paint a certain picture of Ohio.
"There's a certain version of reality that the governor's going to give," FitzGerald said. "And I think he has that view because he's not in touch with the actual reality that most people in Ohio are living with. That's why you can -- that's why he feels comfortable using the language that he has that the economy in Ohio is a miracle."
FitzGerald says the state's economy is only helping the rich while the middle class and local governments haven't reaped any benefits.
Kasich is set to deliver his State of the State address on Monday in Medina.

Hell's Kitchen: Season Seven Winner Holli Ugalde Will Not Become The Executive Chef At Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill
November 22, 2010 02:00 PM by Lisa Princ
FOX's Hell's Kitchen season seven winner Holli Ugalde was looking forward to her prize of executive chef position at Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill in London. In an unfortunate turn of events, Holli will not be cooking her delicious cuisine there – in fact, she will not be going there at all. Keep reading for more details!
Hell's Kitchen season seven winner Holli Ugalde was apparently denied her work visa in order for her to head to London to take her executive chef position at the Savoy Grill in London. ITV Studios America, which was responsible for her visa application, said it regretted that "due to legal reasons Holli Ugalde will not be able to take up the chef position at the Savoy Grill†and "Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to obtain a work visa for Holli. In accordance with the terms of her contract with ITV, Holli has been paid the cash prize instead.†A spokesperson for Gordon Ramsay said "We were sorry to find out that Holli Ugalde can't join the team. Holli is a great chef and it's terrific that she's doing so well in the US.â€
What were Holli's thoughts on this? Crushed by this news, the single mother said "I was incredibly excited when I won and felt crushed when I found out I wouldn't be going to London. The last time I spoke to Gordon Ramsay was when we appeared on a chat show together in August. It is deeply disappointing that I will not be working at the Savoy Grill.†and then she told reporters "Winning Hell's Kitchen was a great experience but I cannot go to London. I have been so fortunate in all the opportunities that have come up since winning Hell's Kitchen and I am excited about my future career as a chef.†What a huge disappointment to Holli who worked so hard on the show – I am sure many angry fans will be complaining in the near future.
Be sure to tune into Hell's Kitchen on FOX next Wednesday at 9 pm EST for a brand new episode!

5/3/1 for a Beginner
Generally, I tell everyone to just do the program as is, regardless of training age.
Of course, if you're a trainer and are using the program with a novice athlete or someone new to training, simply use your experience to make whatever changes are required – though there shouldn't be many.
Now if you're a beginner and are working out without any guidance whatsoever, it's probably best to just stick with the basic program. One of the worst things a young lifter can do is take advice from other beginners on message boards – they usually have all the advice and none of the experience.
Below is one beginner modification that's permissible, and effective. It's a subtle, easy way to add in some extra work on the main lifts without compromising the program or the philosophies it was built upon.
You perform a full-body routine, three days a week. Full body strength routines are the best way for novice lifters to quickly get strong, provided the program is non-retarded (i.e. adheres to an intelligent progression system).
Instead of just one main lift per workout (using the 5/3/1 set-up), two main lifts are used for additional weekly exposures. The second main lift, however, should not be performed 5/3/1 style; instead, use a standard 3 sets of 5 reps, starting at 55% of your training 1RM for the first set of 5 and increasing the weight by 10% each successive set.
The exception is the deadlifting day with presses as the second lift. Just do 5/3/1 here across the board.
Squat – 5/3/1 sets/reps
Bench – 55%x5, 65×5%, 75%x5
Assistance work
Deadlift – 5/3/1 sets/reps
Press – 5/3/1 sets/reps
Assistance work
Bench – 5/3/1 sets/reps
Squat – 55%x5, 65%x5, 75%x5
Assistance work
The program is set up the same way – taking 90% of your max and working up slowly. All percentages are based on that training max.
The first thing I'll be asked is, "What do I do for assistance work?" Because you're doing a full body routine each day and using compound lifts, you need to keep the assistance work to a minimum. Chins, dips, back raises, neck work, and curls will serve you well. Stick with that.
The above program is nothing revolutionary, but it's effective. When you're given a training max and the exact percentages to use every workout, it removes all doubt as to what's heavy, medium, or light. This is simple and easy to use for any beginner.
Intermediate lifters, provided the percentages on the non-5/3/1 days are lowered by 10 percent each set, can also use this basic structure. (As you get more experienced, you can't handle the extra work at a heavier percentage.)

For over a hundred years, the Murray Smoke Stacks stood in the center of Salt Lake Valley and were a landmark for all. Their smoke was the Valley's weather vane as well as a visual barometer of the business climate. No smoke meant men were not working, and so no pay checks. Smoke pouring forth meant just the opposite, that all was well with the man and their families.
The stacks symbolized the smelter, which was one of the two roots from whence Murray City was born; the other, closley abutting the smelter, were miles upon miles of lush farms and busy dairies.
This is a classic tale of when industry and agriculture collide and then combine. It is a story of "Two Cities" and how they joined to become our City of Murray, Utah.

Martinez threw one inning of relief versus UCLA on Sunday. He has made six appearances this season, including a March 8 start versus the University of San Francisco (5.1 innings, six hits, one run, two walks and three strikeouts). Another top game for Martinez was in relief March 3 versus Baylor in San Diego with three strikeouts in 3.1 innings. A tentative starter for Fresno State is junior right-hander Will Munro, who is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and has seven strikeouts in 16.2 innings. The Bears are currently second the Pac-12 with seven home runs and third with a 2.78 team ERA behind Oregon State (1.83) and UCLA (2.45).

Although, i did read the reviews before purchasing and installed check valves in all 3 of mine, so that seems like a good option if your having issues
High quality product By June2881 on 1/11/2015June2881 would recommend this product to a friendHave had nothing but good experience with vertex products I have used. This is no exception. I have 4 containers connected to 4 brs dosing pumps, all controlled by my apex system. Dosing 4 basic elements of the triton method now and everything is working as I had hoped. Really nice to look at as well.
very high quality By Gene on 12/26/2014Gene would recommend this product to a friendI bought 4 - 2.5S stackable Vertex Vessel for dosing Triton Base Elementz.
They look beautiful and professional.
One problem is one of the containers the siphon straw doesn't line up wit the others.
It would be nice if they all line up after paying top dollar for a top dollar product.
great vessel By mike on 5/3/2014mike would recommend this product to a friendFelt I should write something after reading all the reviews.
1. The little diaphragm valve is really to keep the vacuum low as liquid is pumped out.
2. Those who can't keep primed use a check valve.
3. only leaking I've had is when pushing the top on, the air displaces and forces water out, however a custom threaded hole and stem with valve works great.
Aesthetics without Utility By RecentlyPurchased on 3/12/2014RecentlyPurchased wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThese are beautiful cylinders that hold liquid.
Air bubbles in my lines
It Leaked!!! By TimK on 2/8/2014TimK wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI purchased 2 @ 5.0L and 1 @ 2.5L. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that they apparently don't leak test these things.... I filled it up.. went to get my Soda Ash came back to almost .5L on my stand. This just happened to me so I can't speak to the return process or company experience but at $85 you'd think they would have taken the time to check for leaks on each unit.
For this price it should hold water. By Saltyhog on 2/7/2014Saltyhog wouldn't recommend this product to a friendLove everything about it except both of mine started leaking within a few months. Not fast but enough to leave calcium and carbonate residue that almost cements the container to the stand.
Works fine By Bruce on 1/22/2014Bruce would recommend this product to a friendI have had no issues with mine. I am using the BRS 1.1 ML pumps and - although I had some air bubbles in the lines - they seemed to work their way out. Expensive - but very nice looking.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!! By newbie on 1/18/2014newbie would recommend this product to a friendSo I got two of these tall skinny vessels which hold about 1.5 Qts each. They look great but they have a problem. If you are using a low pressure doser like BulkReefSupplys 1.1ml/min like I am then they won't work without a fix. There is a rubber air inlet gasket on the top which I assume is for pressure systems where you pump air into the vessel to force the fluid out the straw. If you do this then go ahead and use the vessels as is but if you are like me you will have to get rid of these. I took a sharp skinny spike and worked it a little until I created a hole for air go easily pass into the vessel as I withdrew fluid. Make sure to do this of you have peristaltic pumps pulling fluid out of these. Mine work great now and have a great skinny foot print.
Clean Design works as described By Tim on 1/9/2014Tim would recommend this product to a friendI can't speak for those that have issues but I can say that I have experienced none. Granted I have had these setup only to test but they have worked flawlessly for days on end... Love the look of them and they are definitely the quality you'd expect from this manufacturer

I currently have this image:
High-CPU Extra Large Instance (Amazon Linux AMI)
7 GB of memory
20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each)
1690 GB of instance storage
64-bit platform
I/O Performance: High
API name: c1.xlarge
... and I've ran out of space. What's the process for getting more space? Is this done from the shell or the control panel? Does it require a reboot or some fancy mounting points? (fancy to a linux admin with modest abilities!)
By the way, this is a client's image so while I do have SSH access to the image, I don't have control panel access.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lake Blaine Lake Getaways
Located in northwestern Montana, Lake Blaine is a private deep-water lake just about 15 miles east of Kalispell. A town of only 15,000, Kalispell is the hub of Flathead County, which is known worldwide for Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park. Named for the hundred or so glaciers that have been counted in the park over the last century, Glacier National Park is home to two mountain ranges, over 130 named lakes, and thousands of species of plants and animals. The sheer immensity of the National Park's features is breathtaking, and just a simple hike through any of the regions is sure to be a lifelong memory.
Lake Blaine is in a very quiet, peaceful location, with a view of the Swan Mountain Range visible at all times. Just minutes away is the Great Bear Wilderness Area, one of the largest areas of its kind in the United States. For some thrills in the wintertime, check out the downhill skiing at Big Mountain and Blacktail Ski Resorts. In the summer, expect to find mild temperatures that are relatively warm considering Lake Blaine's proximity to the Canadian border. There are also several golf courses available in case you'd like to hit the links while staying in your comfortable vacation home rental.

Get More: RapFix Live
By Rob Markman
During her appearance on Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live," Amber Rose went through a range of emotions, speaking excitedly about her new single, "Fame," but also breaking down in tears when she described the way she's been bullied on the streets. Then, when the subject of her boyfriend, Wiz Khalifa, came up, Rose was gleeful again. "He's so freaking cute, that's my baby right there," Amber gushed. "He's beautiful, he's perfection to me. I don't see any flaws when I look at him."
Wiz and Amber aren't married, though a rumor that they tied the knot did swirl in September. They do, however, live in the same building — practically next door to each other, Amber explained. "When we met, we fell in love and then he moved to L.A. and he wound up moving in my building and we just started our life like that together," she said. "It's good, we're not married yet, and it's good that we still have our separate places. I have a lot of clothes, so my clothes are not going to fit in his condo at all."
Rose is all about her man. The model went into great detail on the lengths that she goes to for Khalifa. She is quite the cook, and Wiz is particularly fond of her spaghetti. "I get up in the morning, I cook him breakfast every morning. I rub his feet, I give him kisses, feed him breakfast in bed," she listed. "I clean the house, I run the shower for him; I iron his clothes and whatever he wants.
"I love him; I would do anything for him. He is a spoiled brat when it comes to me. I don't let him lift a finger; I do everything for him," Rose continued. "I am the wife, I take care of all that. He doesn't have to do anything."
The couple's love is a two-way street, and Amber assures us that the rapper reciprocates her feelings. "He respects me, he loves me, he gives me all that in return," she said. "We kinda do that to each other."
Do Amber and Wiz seem like the perfect couple? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

Very nice flat, loved the area, both Onat and his janitor were more than pleasant to deal with.. also loved the neighborhood. Would be hapy to come back!
Renting couple of 4-day city tour
The apartment is small but enough for 2 persons, as you are out all day anyway (otherwise there is possibility stay in the main house). Fridge and cooking facilities are available. The room is centrally located Taksim Square, Galata Tower, and Hagia Sophia are within walking distance. Onat, the owner, is very friendly and helpful.
Negative is the state of the bath to evaluate (Water damage, mold marks on ceiling and joints in the shower area, suitable odor) and the staircase (strong musty smell). Since we were able to leave the windows open all day, the smell was not as perceptible ... The mattress of the bed 140x200m should be replaced (with second blanket but was as a backing sleep possible)
Anmietung von Ehepaar für 4-tägige Städtetour
Das Appartement ist klein aber 2 Personen ausreichend, da man ohnehin den ganzen Tag unterwegs ist (ansonsten besteht Aufenthaltsmöglichkeit im Haupthaus). Kühlschrank und Kochmöglichkeit sind vorhanden. Das Zimmer liegt sehr zentral, Taksimplatz, Galataturm und auch die Hagia Sofia sind zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Onat, der Vermieter, ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereich.
Negativ ist der Zustand des Bades zu bewerten (Wasserschaden, Schimmelspuren an Decke und den Fugen im Duschbereich, entsprechender Geruch) sowie des Treppenhauses (stark modriger Geruch). Da wir den ganzen Tag das Fenster offen stehen lassen konnten, war der Geruch nicht mehr so wahrnehmbar...Die Matratze des 140x200m Bettes sollte ausgetauscht werden (mit zweiter Decke als Unterlage war Schlaf aber möglich)
We had a wonderful stay in Istanbul !!! After brief trouble finding the apartment, we were on arrival then pleasantly surprised by the apartment. We were greeted and advised friendly. We would come again!
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in Istanbul!!! Nach kurzen Schwierigkeiten die Wohnung zu finden, waren wir bei der Ankunft dann positiv überrascht über das Apartment. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und beraten. Wir würden wieder kommen!
Our stay was last year September. Location was great for a city break and valuable tips were also :)
Unser Aufenthalt war im letzten Jahr, September. Lage war für einen Städtetrip super und wertvolle Tipps gab auch noch :)
Economic Chamber, rather spartan and a little damp.
The area is quite well served and functional than Galata area.
The building is in a very ugly street with dilapidated houses alongside.
Value for money, just enough.
Camera economica, piuttosto spartana e un tantino umida.
La zona è abbastanza ben servita e funzionale rispetto a Galata e dintorni.
Il fabbricato è in una via decisamente bruttina con case diroccate a fianco.
Rapporto qualità prezzo appena sufficiente.
We did not get off to a right start,as there was a blackout in all of turkye , and the flat was not on a priotery area . We had problem getting up the stairs in the pitch dark and Onat did not know when the light would be back and he had heard that it could be 17 hours.
I need electric at night as I suffer from sleep abbnia . So we had to find a hotel Who had a generator. We meet some Young people we knew,who didnt have a place to stay. And Onat ageed to let Them stay in-sted of us,as we had already paid.
So we have a little difficult in recomending the place as we did NOT stay there ourselfs. But we didnt feel quite safe in that Area without streetlights.But that is us to middleaged females.
The studio was quite small . But the host was friendly.
The room is very appropriate and clean.
Good location, 200 meters from Galatasaray Lisesi along the main street of Beyoglu.
Onat was very gracious in everything that we required.
To recommend safely.
La stanza è molto appropriata e pulita.
La posizione è buona, a 200 metri dal Galatasaray Lisesi lungo la strada principale di Beyoglu.
Onat è stato molto gentile in ogni cosa che abbiamo richiesto.
Da raccomandare tranquillamente.
The flat is really clean and tidy, really lovely. The flat owner is very friendly. I had a nice stay there and I'm going to book with the same owner an other time.
The room was basic but well maintained. There was even a wine bottle opener, which in Turkey is more of a rarity indeed ;-)
We felt like at home.
Das Zimmer war einfach, aber gepflegt. Es gab sogar einen Weinflaschenöffner, was ja in der Türkei eher eine Seltenheit ist ;-)
Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt.
The apartment itself is very nice and everything is necessary also present therein, We have had a beautiful time there and is very nice and cozy. The hosts are very helpful and help where you can.
Still to 2 min. Walk from Taksim.
Die Wohnung an sich ist sehr schön und alles nötige ist auch darin vorhanden, Wir haben eine Schöne Zeit dort gehabt und ist sehr nett und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber sind auch sehr hilfsbereit und helfen wo Sie können.
Noch dazu 2 min. Fußweg von Taksim.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Maison Premiere Appoints New Executive Chef, Lisa Giffen
Jared Stafford-Hill is out.
Grub hears that Maison Premiere is promoting Lisa Giffen, who has worked with the Williamsburg restaurant as it's revamped its menu and added more seafood dishes. She's replacing Jared Stafford-Hill; he got hired less than a year ago (in August 2012). Giffen's an alum of Blue Hill New York and Daniel, and is big on Creole spices and French and New Orleans influences. Louisiana Crayfish Bread is now on Maison Premiere's menu, and other new, meatier dishes feature pigeon (with foie gras) and rabbit. All these changes come just in time to enjoy the restaurant's lovely outdoor garden.


text: KSDK -- It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas, thanks in part to a local radio station. WMVN 101.1 FM made the switch to Christmas tunes over the weekend. And listeners have had mixed reactions. NewsChannel 5 asked the station's programming director about the switch. While he could not talk about why the switch was made now, he said Christmas music has been popular, even this early in the season. WMVN recently announced plans to change formats. After the holidays, it will program sports related material.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- A former Helena-West Helena police officer has been sentenced in "Operation Delta Blues".
Former Sgt. Marlene Kalb was sentenced to 30 months in prison with three years of supervised release after. No fine was imposed.
Kalb was convicted on Dec. 14, 2012 of two counts of attempted extortion under color of official right and two counts of attempt to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.
Kalb's convictions stem from an operation targeting corrupt police officers in the Arkansas Delta, including Helena-West Helena. The jury found that Marlene Kalb, while in uniform and on duty, provided a protective police escort for a purported drug trafficker, who was actually a confidential informant working with the FBI, and his cocaine by trailing him through Helena-West Helena in her police car on September 9, 2011 and September 26, 2011.
The FBI-led sting operation was part of the investigation known as "Operation Delta Blues," which focused primarily on public corruption and drug trafficking activities in the Helena-West Helena and Marianna, Arkansas, areas. Approximately 800 federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations (IRS-CID), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), Arkansas State Police (ASP), and the Little Rock Police Department (LRPD) participated in the October 11, 2011, arrests.
The four other police officers indicted on October 11, 2011 previously pleaded guilty. Former Helena-West Helena Police Officer Herman Eaton pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering and one count of attempted extortion under color of official right. On May 16, 2012, U.S. District Judge Leon Holmes sentenced Eaton to 16 months imprisonment and 2 years supervised release.
Former Marvell Police Officer Robert Wahls pleaded guilty to attempted interference with commerce by means of extortion ("Hobbs Act") and money laundering. On May 30, 2012, Judge Billy Roy Wilson sentenced Wahls to 24 months imprisonment and 2 years supervised release.
Former Phillips County Deputy Sheriff and Helena West Helena Police Officer Dean Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of drug conspiracy relating to his role in the Sedrick Trice/Leon Edwards drug trafficking operation. On June 8, 2012, Judge Moody sentenced Jackson to 80 months imprisonment and 4 years supervised release.
Former Helena-West Helena Police Officer Robert Rogers, aka Bam Bam, pleaded guilty to one count attempted interference with commerce by means of extortion ("Hobbs Act"). On August 1, 2012, Judge James M. Moody sentenced Rogers to 14 months imprisonment and 2 years supervised release.
A sixth former officer, Roxanne Davis, was charged in the Delta Blues case on September 17, 2012. Davis is set for trial on May 20, 2013, before United States District Judge J. Leon Holmes. She was a state probation officer and has also been charged with alleged Hobbs Act violations. An indictment contains only allegations. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
