The events of our girls' night out (round 2) that went well into the wee hours of morning involved the following, in order of recollection: Crashed a loft party, where the corporate financiers and trust fund babies gawked at us as we walked through the door. Overheard conversations that involved sentences like, "No, my daddy didn't get hit hard at all." Assumed this and similar statements were ref
The events of our girls' night out that went well into the wee hours of morning involved the following, in order of recollection: Dined at Boucarou. Club hopped (despite a trite and contrived disdain for "Bridge and Tunnel" weekend nights) at Pink Elephant and Suzie Wong on West 26th Street and randomly cut through Mansion to get to Prime on 27th Street.

I was pretty excited when I saw the following headline at WebHostingRating Dot Com earlier today; ‘Top 10 Web Hosting Providers - Best Web Hosts 2008’
Unfortunately their Top 10 list is incomplete. WebHostingRating Dot Com as of time of writing only has 2 web hosting providers!
How disappointing. I wonder if the people behind WebHostingRating Dot Com realize that their site needs more work!

Jane Furse - Contractors in Limpopo who continue to do shoddy work and claim money for incomplete work will be blacklisted, says Limpopo Premier Sello Moloto.
This was after local communities raised concerns about the houses that the provincial government had built for them, saying some of the houses had leaks, whilst others were incomplete.
Addressing these concerns at an Imbizo on Saturday at Jane Furse, Premier Moloto said the provincial government was working on a system to blacklist underperforming contractors.

Before the publication of Bouchard-Taylor Commission's report in March, Culture minister Christine St-Pierre proposed a bill to modify the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. According to the Bill 63, the equality between men and women must prevail especially when considering to make a religious accommodation.The third paragraph of the Quebec Charter would be amended in order to be read like this: "[...] respect for the dignity of human beings, equality of women and men, and recognition of their rights and freedoms constitute the foundation of justice, liberty and peace." At the first look, this should really give more manoeuvre to Quebec's government in religious accommodations.Indeed, many Quebeckers should be elated, because women's rights can no longer be mocked as we saw it many months ago. For instance, a female constable should have the rights to call out a Hasidim Jewish man. Should this bill be adopted, a religious accommodation can only be made only if it doesn't
I know I promised a Celtics blog today, but I can’t seem to put together two straight intelligible sentences tonight. Instead, I’ll just stick with the basic, no holds barred, random thoughts type rant.Word broke yesterday that Gagne could accept the Red Sox offer of arbitration. This, of course, is good news for Red Sox fans. We were starting to think this off season was going way too well. As a group, we don’t function well without something to complain about.I also read in the Boston Herald that the Sox made an offer for Erik Bedard. Personally, while I wouldn’t mind seeing Bedard in a Sox uniform as a cheaper alternative to Santana, I can’t see the Orioles trading him inside the division. I’m thinking this is just a smokescreen designed to give the Twins something to think about.Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons were both suspended for 15 games by MLB for purchasing HGH. Just to be consistent with my Barry Bonds stance, I don’t think either of these guys should get into th
Now my first exposure to the now legendary South Suburban bubblegum pop-punk of Winepress (and a number of other bands) was on the "Dad Are We Punk Yet?" compilation from the awesome but now defunct Harmless Records which featured their song "She Just Won't Do." My next exposure to the band was the Mushuganas cover of the Winepress tune "Disappointed." It is (IMHO) a classic. I love the Mushuganas version and when I found out it was a cover, I just had to find the original.Winepress officially existed from 1991-1995 and were the kings of the Off The Alley scene in Homewood. Sadly, I've never seen Winepress live even though they have played a few scattered shows around Chicago the past few years, but I do own a copy of their Worth A Thousand Words 7" and their Complete Recordings discography CD. The CD contains everything the band recorded but I believe that the CD is now out of print (or at least really difficult to find) but definitely worth searching out. It's one of my all
In a day when athletes typically made headlines for all the wrong reasons it was refreshing to see one of the "bad boys" begin to redeem themselves.Sean Taylor was one of those men.Sparked by the birth of his daughter Taylor began to change from the rebellious young man he was when he entered the league to a mature man and began to emerge as one of the best safeties in the NFL.In Taylor's rookie season of 2004 and sophomore campaign of 2005 he was accused of spitting on players on two separate occasions. Taylor skipped a a mandatory rookie symposium and held out of training camp the following season.The bad attitude followed Taylor off the field; during the same two year span he was arrested for a DUI and then armed assault.In the year since his daughter was born Taylor's life began to change according to his teammates. The results were clearly displayed on the field. No more broken tackles, no more spitting, and no more cheap shots. Taylor was starting to display the ability that ma

Way back in the mid 90's there was a little band from South suburban Chicagoland called Rustweiler. I'm not actually too sure on many of the details other than a girl I met at school in Champaign (I think her name was Lauren) was friends with 'em. I think I she was friends with Mark from The Living Blue. Anyhow, I saw the band live a couple of times and picked up their Assholes Of The Universe 7" at one of those shows.The 7" is full of six short and crappy (but awesome) warp-speed pop-punk that is just way too fun to pogo around your living room to. Think F.Y.P. meets Crimpshrine. The lo-fi craptastic recording and subsequent vinyl transfer make it sound even more punk rock (read shitty). All this happened right at the dawn of the Internet Age and because of the timing, there's not much about the band available anywhere online.What I do know is that former members of Rustweiler have played in other Chicago punk bands like Ambition Mission and Fourth Rotor. Even with the comp
After just over 10 years together, Chicago pop-punk band Allister is calling it quits and playing their final show tomorrow night at Metro in Chicago. Now I've written in much more detail about the band here already, but thought one last run through would be appropriate. The Allister story begins in late 1996 when guitarists John Hamada and Eric Mueller (that's me) met in a calculus class at UIUC and realized they shared a love for the Blake Babies and punk rock. Along with drummer/singer Tim Rogner (John had played in a band with Tim during high school) the trio of John (guitar/vocals), Tim (drums/vocals), and Eric (bass/vocals) began playing out in early 1997 and finally settled on the name Allister after discarding names like Phineas Gage and Fall Out Boy (seriously). In December of that same year, the band recorded their debut 7" You Can't Do That On Vinyl with Phil Bonnet (RIP). That 7" caught the attention of upstart California punk label Drive-Thru Records who agreed to di

Easily one of the best, most influential, and most prolific punk bands in Chicago history, Screeching Weasel, also managed to be one of the most enigmatic and polarizing bands as well. There seems to be no middle ground when it comes to loving or hating singer and principal songwriter Ben Weasel. Even my wife (in true teenage rock-and-roll crush fashion) once said that the only person she'd ever leave me for is Ben Weasel. Now I first heard Screeching Weasel as a result of a mix-tape that a friend made me in 1994. It featured songs by Operation Ivy, Rancid, Sublime, Screeching Weasel, and many others I can't recall right now. I think the SW song was "Dingbat." I originally thought they were from California because at that time, I was only beginning to discover that Chicago even had a punk scene. What follows is a history of Screeching Weasel as briefly and succinctly as it can be told.The first incarnation of Screeching Weasel was formed in the suburbs of Chicago in 1986 by Ben (Weas
After the breakup of Chicago ska-punk heroes Slapstick in 1996, the group splintered in two. One of the bands that rose like a phoenix from the ashes was Tuesday. The band only ever released an 8-song cassette demo (of which four songs appear on the Early Summer EP) and one full-length called Freewheelin which was released by Asian Man Records in 1997.Despite starting with a little remnant of Slapstick's ska sound, Tuesday's sound evolved into something of a pop-punk/emo hybrid. You are thinking that sounds awful, right? Not so. Back before emo was a dirty word it is pretty evident that Dan, Rob, and Matt we probably listening to (and taking cues from) bands like The Promise Ring while also remaining true to their punk roots. I think I saw Tuesday live six times during their brief existence with bands like Less Than Jake, Smoking Popes, Skagina, Allister, and Animal Chin. They were great every time.At one point they added some dude named Tyler on second guitar, but Tuesday sorta sput
Sometimes we start an important event, conference or seminar registration but something happens and we can’t finish it, such technical questions that we can’t answer in that moment and for this I have the solution for you, regonline web site has the easiest event registration system to manage your registrations, it make easier for registrants to say yes by auto-filling their registration form and auto-selecting their registration type options. I think (my personal opinion) this is a great system we can save time and money. You've got to check out this cool site!This is a sponsored post.
(Answer to those seeking technical support for Girlfriend 2.0)Girlfriend 1.0 is already obsolete. Now, there's an all new and improved Girlfriend 2.0. Your relationship with the former Girlfriend 1.0 was more of a "take-relationship" causing constant crashes and bug reports from the system. You taught you have finally learned your lesson. Then came Girlfriend 2.0. You were advised to keep your interaction with the "software" as purely "give and take" because there will be times when the program will solicit feedback from you in exchange for the functions it offered. Everything was going well for sometime, until, quite recently, it refused to respond in several occasions. Your nightmarish buggy system is beginning to creep back into your life.Generally, upgrading to Girlfriend 2.0 from Girlfriend 1.0 provides a fresh start. About the features, well, it may or may not provide any great improvements depending on your view of an ideal "software" With both the Girlfriend
