The last time The Fray came to Cleveland I didn't go to the show. For some reason I was convinced that they would not be a good band to see live. Last night I found out how wrong my assumption was. The Fray exceeded all expectations I had of them. It was an amazing show. I definitely didn't give them the credit they deserve.

Jack's Manequin performed before The Fray last night. I'm so glad we made it to the venue in time to see their entire set. What an energetic performance. Before going to the show I was a fan of the band but now I'm an even bigger fan. I'm not sure I've ever witnessed a man with so much energy as Andrew McMahon (lead vocals). He was jumping on the piano, jumping off the piano, jumping on the drums, he was all over the stage. They played a great set and ended with a cover from Tom Petty.

The Fray took the stage a little before 9:30. After a musical intro of "Happiness" they dramatically started playing "Over my Head". The backdrop was full of small changing lights that lit up the stage. I immediately knew this concert was going to be much better than I anticipated.

After my experience Saturday night at the Rib Cook-Off I was very hesitant to go back for another show on Sunday night. However, I have never seen Keane in concert so I decided to go and I'm so glad I did. Looking back I can't believe I even considered not going. When I first heard that Keane was playing at the Rib Cook-Off I was a little surprised. Keane is very popular in the UK and I thought they had a lot of fans in the US as well. In my opinion this band doesn't fit the description of the type of musical guests that usually perform at rib festivals. Keane is nothing less than incredible on stage. The performance was unforgetable to me.

This is one of those cases that the best thing for me to tell you is to go see them if you ever get the chance. For a moment I didn't even know where I was and it wasn't due to alcohol. Tom Chaplin's voice is so captivating that everything around you seems to disappear. All I could see and hear was him. I had to remind myself that I wasn't inside a club in England.

The band took the stage quickly and immediately started playing "The Lovers Are Losing". Tom Chaplin is so enthusiastic when he performs. He marched along to every single song. Some songs brought him to the ground while others had him standing on top of the piano.

'1408' is the latest work from Stephen King to be adapted for film. Despite fine acting by both John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson the movie fails to deliver because the storyline is just too thin to keep a viewers attention for the whole movie. Cusack plays a writer (Mike Enslin) who's speciality is highlighting haunted hotels throughout the country. He receives an anonymous postcard that alerts him to a hotel in New York City that had a number of incidents in a particular room. Enslin sees a big story and tries to book a room to stay in room 1408 (which happens to add up to the number 13).

Light bulbs refer primarily to Incandescent lamps that were introduced in the early 1900’s to replace Gas and Carbon Arc lighting. Incandescent “Bulbs” were used to light homes, commercial businesses, industrial businesses and street lamps. Incandescent bulbs became very inexpensive when produced in high quantities but were inefficient in terms of a short life and produced low lumens per watt. They had to be replaced fairly quickly in commercial and industrial applications and it took a lot of lamps to provide sufficient lighting.

Incandescent bulbs were the mainstay of the lighting industry until the need to improve light quality and efficiency was met with the introduction of the more energy efficient Mercury Vapor bulbs, the first High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp. Mercury Vapor lamps replaced Incandescent bulbs in street lighting, commercial, and other light fixtures because of higher lumens per watt (33-65 LPW) and a 24,000 hour rated life, but Incandescent light bulbs remained the primary residential lighting source because of their soft light and high color rendering index (CRI) of 100. Mercury lamps had a CRI of 25-40 which made it difficult to distinguish colors and had a low visual acuity.

I will admit I was a bit skeptical of 'Provoked: A True Story' before I actually viewed the film. The reasoning behind that was I knew that the film involved the topic of domestic violence and I felt that it would a movie better fit for Lifetime than the Silver Screen. I was wrong.

The movie draws you in from the minute you sit down. At first the events seem shocking, but soon you come to realize the mindset of Kiranjit Ahluwalia (Aishwarya Rai). Her physical abuse at the hands of abusive husband Deepak Ahluwalia (Naveen Andrews) are just too much to take and she takes matters into her own hands. The opening scene is provocative and shocking, and the quest to find out answers on why the event occurred is well done.

In 2005, Lian Murray, co-founder of Hurley International, struck out on her own to create a premium, designer surf style range of apparel and accessories - Aqua VI. Brands like Billabong and Hurley have long been catering to the teen surf and skate cultures with unique and hip clothing, but for those making the transition out of their teens there weren't many other more "mature" surf style options. This is where Aqua VI comes into play.

Co-founder of Aqua VI along with Lian Murray is Ziggy Williams, who also brings a range of experience to the company, having worked previously with Billabong and Hurley. Williams and Murray have known eachother since they were children.

Specializing in acoustic guitar- and piano-led pop that brings to mind Ben Folds and Ben Kweller, this New York outfit produces professional-grade videos to accompany such stellar tracks as the sweepingly aching “These Are the Nights” and the Collective Soul-meets-Guster confessional that is “I Wrote This Song.” Making April has already gotten song placement in MTV’s “Laguna Beach” reality series, and singer/pianist Sean has the chops in the songwriting department to give all the above-mentioned acts a run for their money. Maybe a little TOO inoffensive at times, but something you certainly wouldn’t mind hearing on the radio.
