Drunk - Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran (born Edward Christopher Sheeran in Halifax, England on February 17, 1991) is a British singer-songwriter. After performing relentlessly around England in his teen years, Ed moved to Los Angeles with no money and no contacts, where he was discovered at The Foxxhole by Jamie Foxx. Foxx was so impressed, he let Ed use his studio to record his songs. In 2011, Ed independently released his first EP, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which led him to be signed by Asylum Records, an affiliate of Atlantic Records. Behind the hit singles “The A Team” and “Lego House,” his official debut album, +, has gone quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom in 2011 and won him several awards in England – Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough of the Year.

His single, “The A Team,” which reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ed has also written songs for One Direction, including the hit song “Little Things.”

Since collaborating with One Direction, Ed has become close friends with the members of the band, as well as Harry Styles’ ex, Taylor Swift. He has also been romantically linked with fellow British folk singer, Nina Nesbitt. In April 2014, Ed released a song that was about how Ellie Goulding cheated on him with One Direction singer Niall Horan.

Ed Sheeran Quotes:
“There’s no key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.”

“I think it’s good to remember that everything has been done before. The public has heard the stereotypical love songs a million times and they’ve heard the stereotypical life-or-death songs millions of times. It’s good to mix it up a little bit.”

“I don’t really do that whole single life thing. I’m kind of heads down and get things done.”

Jason Mamoa

Jason Momoa was born in Honolulu on August 1, 1979, and as a child moved to Norwalk, Iowa, where he was raised by his mother. After graduating from high school, Momoa moved back to Hawaii and enrolled at the University of Hawaii. But his life would soon take a fateful turn when he was discovered by Takeo, an international fashion designer—an event that led to the start of Momoa’s modeling career.

His good looks and carved physique brought him quick success, and in 1999, Momoa won Hawaii’s Model of the Year and walked the runway for Louis Vuitton at the Governor’s Fashion Show.

Momoa soon turned his sights to acting, and in 1999 he tried out for a lead role on the international smash TV show Baywatch (known at this point, the show’s 10th season, as Baywatch Hawaii). He beat out 1,000 other actors for the role of Jason Ioane, a part that he played for a couple of seasons. The show ended in 2001, and Momoa spent some time traveling the world, notably visiting Tibet, where he discovered Buddhism.

Momoa eventually moved to Los Angeles to further pursue an acting career. The first roles he landed, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003) and Tempted(2003), both TV movies, kept his face on the screen until his next series gig,North Shore, came along in 2004. North Shore ran for 20 episodes, but when it ended something even better was waiting for Momoa: Stargate: Atlantis.

Playing Ronan Dex on the popular sci-fi series, Momoa appeared in several seasons, reaching the next stage of stardom along the way. Also during this period, Momoa was involved in an altercation in a Los Angeles bar, in which another patron smashed a glass across the 6’5”, 225-lb. actor’s face, resulting in 140 stitches and a scar above his left eye. The scar would become something of a signature afterward, and it played well into Momoa’s next role, which would take his career to the next level.

In April 2011, HBO began airing a new drama, Game of Thrones, and Momoa appeared in the plumb role of Khal Drogo, a barbarian leader of a tribe called the Dothraki. The show became an instant smash hit, and Momoa’s violent and eventually nuanced Khal brought a whole new crop of fans to the actor’s doorstep.

Growing up, Momoa was a big fan of the Conan the Barbarian stories, and he also got to star as the title character in the Hollywood big-screen reboot, released a few months after Game of Thrones. Momoa has since appeared inBullet to the Head (2012) and Road to Paloma (2014; which Momoa also directed and co-wrote). He currently has several films in production as well, including Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. And Momoa has continued with television work, starring in the ensemble cast of the Sundance Channel drama The Red Road, which premiered in March 2014.

Moma married actress Lisa Bonet in 2007. The couple have two children together, daughter Lola Iolani Momoa and son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. Bonet has a daughter Zoë Isabella with former husband Lenny Kravitz.

Culture Club – Church Of The Poison Mind

Culture Club - Church Of The Poison Mind
Born George Alan O’Dowd on June 14, 1961, in Eltham, London, to parents Gerry and Dinah O’Dowd. George grew up in a lively household with his four brothers and one sister. Despite being part of the large working class Irish brood, George claims he had a lonely childhood, referring to himself as the “pink sheep” of the family.

To stand out in the male-dominated household, George created his own image on which he became dependent. “It didn’t bother me to walk down the street and to be stared at. I loved it,” he later reminisced.

George didn’t exactly conform to the typical school student stereotype, either. With a leaning more toward arts rather than science and math, he found it hard to fit within traditional masculine stereotypes. With his schoolwork suffering, and an ongoing battle of wits between him and his teachers, it wasn’t long before the school gave up and expelled George over his increasingly outlandish behavior and outrageous clothes and make-up.

Suddenly George found himself out of school, and without a job. He took any work he could find that paid him enough money to live on including a job picking fruit; a stint as a milliner; and even a gig as a make-up artist with the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he picked up some handy techniques for his own personal use.

Forming the Culture Club
By the 1980s, the New Romantic Movement had emerged in the U.K. Followers of the New Romantic period, influenced heavily by artists such as David Bowie, often dressed in grand caricatures of the 19th century English Romantic period. This included exaggerated upscale hairstyles and fashion statements. Men typically wore androgynous clothing and makeup, such as eyeliner.

The style became a calling card for George, whose flamboyance fit their beliefs perfectly. The attention the New Romantics attracted inevitably created many new headlines for the press. It wasn’t long before George was giving interviews based purely on his appearance.

Roar Thor – Parody of Katy Perry

Roar Thor - Parody of Katy Perry

Before becoming YouTube’s “VenetianPrincess,” VP always had a passion for all aspects of the performing arts.  As a child, she grew up in Massachusetts performing in numerous plays and musicals.  She was also acting in feature films as well as several national commercials.  At home, she started directing and acting in her own home movies, starting at the age of 8 when her Dad bought her first video camcorder.

VP credits her mom for enriching her childhood with the arts.   She studied voice, dance, and musical theater there from the age of 5 to 17.  Also, during and after high school, she studied opera at the South Shore Conservatory of Music as well as the New England Conservatory of Music.

Volunteering as a teacher’s assistant at a local performing arts school, VP discovered and embraced her love of working with children. “I think I have a connection with kids, because I’ll always be one at heart.”  She explains.  VP went on to direct a modified version of the children’s classic “The Secret Garden” with her own original musical score.

In 2006, VP discovered the then-new website, “YouTube.”  At that time, it had just started reaching popularity. At first, she would use the site to upload audition videos, and then eventually decided to go back to her roots and create home movies.  Her videos included full-on fantasy adventures with elaborate costumes, as well as original noir period pieces.

As a child, she shared her creations with an audience of 4 or 5 family members or friends.  She had no idea that one day her videos would be reaching over 380 million people across the globe. Read more…..www.vprincess.com

Miter Joints – Close the Gap

Miter Joints – Close the Gap

Perfect miter joints are the most challenging part of making picture frames.
Even though it’s the most challenging, if you follow these steps and take your time you’ll be able to produce perfect miter joints every time!
Making thousands of miter joints over the years, I have refined my process over and over until I got to the point of making perfect miters joints every time.

Below you’ll find the Golden Rules according to me – haha – of course there may be a difference of opinion out there some where.

It works for me and will work for you!
Miter Joints - Close the Gap
Golden Rule #1 Your miter saw or the miter gauge on your table saw must be set to EXACTLY 45°
Golden Rule #2. The opposing rails must be IDENTICAL in length
Golden Rule #3. You must use the EXACT same process when cutting miter joints on the rails; don’t change the stop blocks, don’t change the angle of the miter gauge, don’t turn your miter saw to “the other side” to cut the opposing miter.
Don’t let the rails move at all during the cutting process.
When I say exact same process I mean exact same process!
Break any of these Golde Rules and you, along with anyone else who sees your picture frame, will know you took the easy way out!!
If you follow these rules you will turn into a Miter Master!
Using a carpenter square will ensure that you have a 45° angle.

Lay it up against the teeth of the blade and the fence. It should be flush on both sides.

If there’s a gap –  you’re not at 45°.

Adjust the saw again and make sure it is exact.

Effort now, will save you later!

We know from the previous process of milling our wood, that the rails are the same thickness and currently the same length.
Before we set the stop blocks and cut the rails to final length, our first move will be cutting a miter on each end of both of the 36 inch rails.
Clamp your rails in place before making the cuts, this ensures there is absolutely no movement as the rail is being cut.
Make your first cut with the face side of the rail up (the inside of the rail, where your cove is, should always be facing the blade when making your miter cuts).
Make the second cut by simply flipping the rail end over end and cutting the opposite miter.
Repeat these steps on the second rail.
Do not change the process at all.

Only Love Can Hurt Like This – Paloma Faith

Only Love Can Hurt Like This - Paloma Faith

Faith was born to an English mother and Spanish father in Hackney. Her parents divorced when she was four years old, and she was raised by her mother in Stoke Newington.  As a child, Faith was encouraged to dance by her mother and took weekly ballet classes in Dalston. After completing her A-levels at City and Islington College, she went on to study for a degree in contemporary dance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. Faith then went on to study for an MA in theatre directing at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design, funding her studies by working various part-time jobs, which included: a sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, a singer in a burlesque cabaret, a life model and a magician’s assistant.

In January 2013, Paloma revealed that she was beginning to write her third studio album during her time in the United States, intending to work on it while in New York City. In February it was announced that Faith would be headlining the Evolution Festival, UK in Newcastle upon Tyne on Monday 27 May 2013 with The Vaccines headlining the day before. Other acts performing alongside Faith included Jake Bugg, Aluna George and Bastille.

In January 2014, the title of Faith’s third album was revealed to be A Perfect Contradiction, which was released in March. The album has become Faith’s fastest-selling album to date, currently certified Platinum as of June 2014. The album’s lead single, “Can’t Rely on You”, produced by Pharrell Williams, became Faith’s second top ten in the UK. The album’s second single, “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” became Faith’s most successful single to date, reaching number six in the UK. The album’s third single, “Trouble With My Baby” will be released in August 2014. In July 2014, British drum and bass duo “Sigma” announced their single “Changing” featuring vocals from Faith; it is set for release in September 2014.

She was briefly married to New Zealand chef Rian Haynes in 2005, however they split after eight months and were divorced four years later.  Faith has been accused of age fabrication after claiming early in her career to being born in 1985. She later admitted to having been born in 1981 after her birth certificate was revealed online. In 2011, a portrait of Faith was painted by British artist Joe Simpson, the painting was exhibited around the UK including a solo exhibition at The Royal Albert Hall.
