Video/Audio blahblahgaborWHITE - Blush (Official Video)
Glasgow, Scotland Band. There’s something appropriately off-colour about WHITE, a Glasgow pop outfit sending the genre’s conventions into dark grimy corners. With a mixture of glam and funk. It’s led by Leo Condie, a magnetic frontman.

I am a little late to this party which is typical for me (but I always bring edibles to make up for it!).
Any time light is shined into the dark the results are usually positive. Many of the journalists, magazines and web sites reviewing games were operating without any written journalistic ethical guidelines to govern their actions. These guidelines ensure some level of objectivity and would require the disclosure of the relationships that existed between the game developer and the game reviewer. Even though the reality is that most of us rely on the reviews of other gamers, we should expect a minimum level of journalistic integrity.
Also, many were insulted by the descriptions of gamers as being puerile, misogynistic, racist and homophobic. I don't disagree that these types of users exist, but no more than in wider society. That's why when I play COD I stick to FFA (oh, yeah, I don't like taking orders from 12-year-olds, either). While superficially the response by some gamers might have been immature and inflammatory, the end result might be positive.
Politics seems to infuse every facet of our lives right now. I just want to be left alone to play my games.

Never Believe in You - Beecher's Fault
Beecher’s Fault hails from beautiful Astoria, New York. The leaders of the band, Ken Lamken and Ben Taylor, met in New Jersey a few years back before they booked it to NYC to seek out the limelight after realizing their musical compatibility. Max Maples (drums) and Serge Ruccolo (Bass) now complete the quartet that has been said to have live performances that produce a “wall of sound” complemented by “raw, honest lyrics” and “pristine vocal harmonies”.

You should volunteer for the event, too. You might have to empty spit buckets but you get a nifty free T-shirt and get to hear thousands of porta-potty doors slamming shut for hours on end (odd, but is an amazing sound). And, the brewery line you work with give you as much beer as you wanna drink in a regular sized cup! The GABF is one of my favorite events.

Yeah. I am not a fan of the cold. Austin remains my favorite place in the world- the people, the music and the food. Oh, yeah and the bars. There's nothing better than a breakfast taco and hot salsa to start the morning. Fireplace? I would have turn my thermostat down!

….My own view, as a struggling and doubting person of faith, is that truth matters in whatever mode we find it — but ultimate truth, because we are not ultimate beings, will always elude us. The search for this truth is the point….. Humans cannot live without this search, never have and never will. Our consciousness asks questions to which there will never be a complete answer; we are religious because we are human. And the challenge of our time is neither the arrogant dismissal of religious life and heritage, nor the rigid insistence that all metaphysical questions are already answered or unaskable, but a humble openness to history and science and revelation in the journey of faith….” quote from Andrew Sullivan.

I, like the author, am a person who lives in a neighborhood that is going through gentrification. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, many of the neighborhoods in Austin had residences that needed renovation and many new small businesses have been established to provide products and services for these new residents. Most of us live in an urban area for the myriad of choices and amenities available, and more importantly, the availability of employment.
My educational background includes urban planning, public affairs and economics, and gentrification does seem at first glance to be controversial and, perhaps, even negative for certain constituencies. On the other hand, gentrification also reflects that a city is still growing, changing and attracting citizens who can help make the city more vibrant, even better, or maybe just different. Cultural changes are inevitable in some sense.
The reality is that economics creates winners and losers in society. In an environment of diminishing resources for local governments, the lack of political support that would help create affordable housing alternatives, and, the grim fact that poorer communities have less influence on public policy, I can't identify a workable solution.
I know that there is a moral imperative to value each citizen and that we should have equal opportunities that should include access to affordable housing. But, I feel like there is little that can be done to mitigate this social problem. It doesn't make me feel good, but the pragmatist in me tells me to fight a battle that can be won.

What a waste. I hope they understand that they are literally killing joy. I can't wait until weed is legalized everywhere. What a true cost-saving measure that will be.

One Direction is a much more attractive and talented group than BSB ever was, so I say no. Not that boy bands are my genre by any means.
