Thirty Seconds To Mars Will Break Record For Most Amount Of Shows Performed During A Single Album Cycle

(New York, NY Oct. 17th, 2011) – Thirty Seconds To Mars will celebrate their 300th and final show in support of their critically acclaimed third studio album This Is War with a special Tribus Centum Numerarae concert at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Dec. 7th, 2011. They will also set a new Guinness World Record for the most shows played during a single album cycle. This Is War was released in December, 2009 and the band has since circled the globe numerous times, playing over 300 shows in almost 60 cities in 6 continents. True road warriors, they’ve sold out arenas around the world including London’s infamous O2, the first International Lollapalooza Festival in Santiago, Chile, played to over 75,000 people at Reading and Leeds Festivals, 100,000 people at Rock Am Park in Germany and more. Tickets for the Dec. 7th Hammerstein Ballroom show go on sale starting Saturday, October 22nd at 10am EST and American Express® cardmembers can purchase advance tickets starting today. The band is also planning a special week of unique shows celebrating this milestone, beginning on December 5th.
“We have been on the road for an incredible and insane two years and thought what better way to celebrate the end of this phenomenal journey than with a week of special shows in New York City. We thought documenting this for posterity with the Guiness Book of World Records would be fun especially as we aren’t any good at growing our fingernails very long or cultivating the world’s largest squash,” said frontman Jared Leto.
Thirty Seconds To Mars have cemented their status as one of the world’s biggest rock bands since the release of This Is War which has spawned 2-consecutive #1 singles with “Kings & Queens” and “This Is War” and top 10 single “Closer To The Edge.” Since release, This Is War has sold over 1.5 million albums and 1 million singles around the world. The album is certified platinum in three countries including the UK, Germany and Poland and has achieved gold status in seven countries including Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
This Is War has scored a total of seven VMA nominations and the band won the 2010 VMA for Best Rock Video for “Kings & Queens.” They were nominated for three 2010 MTV EMAs, winning Best Rock and were recently nominated for three 2011 EMAs. They won Best International Band at both the 2010 and 2011 Kerrang! Awards and also picked up the 2011 Best Single Kerrang! for “Hurricane”. “Hurricane” which sparked controversy around the world when it was banned on many networks also won an MTV O award for Best NFSW Video at the 2010 inaugural ceremony.
Formed in 1998 Thirty Seconds To Mars consists of brothers Jared and Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic.

I HAVE to share this article I stumbled across today from the guardian:

Homes: Nordic nous

Why are we all so in love with Scandinavian design?

• Henrietta Thompson 
• guardian.co.uk, Friday 16 September 2011 22.59 BS

Normann Copenhagen's Kontur vase is just one example of the wave of Scandinavian design currently hitting the British high street.
Hygge – what a word. A Danish concept, adopted from a Norwegian word that translates roughly as "wellbeing" but infers so much more, it embraces all things simple, warm, cosy, calm and comforting. And it's the hygge-factor – pronounced "hoo-ga" while making the mouth-shape for "ee" (I know, I know) – that may explain why we are so in love with Scandinavian design. Because we are, in case you hadn't noticed. Mid-century modern Danish teak is selling like hot cakes; the high street is in the grip of Scandinavian fever; and you can't open a lifestyle magazine without an Alvar Aalto 60 stool, Arne Jacobsen flatware or a Louis Poulsen lamp featuring somewhere. It's simply accepted that this part of the world knows how to make good products, and knows how to make them last, too. But why? What, exactly, do they do so well? The Nordic countries – Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland – have an unpretentious approach to design, in contrast with that often elitist world. Furniture is clean-lined and useful, made from often plain, natural materials such as bare wood, sheepskin, leather and wool. Design, in the Scandinavian tradition, provides emotional comfort and enriches daily living. It is not about style over substance, or status symbols – in fact, distaste for showiness is palpable. The style has its origins in Lutheranism, a religion that stresses truth, reason and honest work. It mixes practicality and traditional craftsmanship with a closeness to nature and a talent for infusing everything with light (the region's endless dark winters might have something to do with that). In 1919, Gregor Paulsson, then director of the Swedish Design Council, put it nicely: he admired products that "lend grace to the chore of life". Alongside the greats – Aalto, Jacobsen, Poulsen, Finn Juhl, Georg Jensen, Nanna Ditzel and Marimekko – is a new generation of designers, many of whom are appearing at the London Design Festival next week: porcelain designers Wik & Walsoe, and young designers Ida Noemi and Vibeke Skar, both at 100% Norway; and Swedish designers Claesson Koivisto Rune at Skandium (the store is also opening a new showroom with Danish furniture brand Fritz Hansen). Two events are showcasing new work from Swedish designers: Ung8 at Designers Block, and Hemma. And Danish furniture brand Hay is opening a pop-up shop in Covent Garden for four months. On the high street, BHS is launching lightshades in wood, reminiscent of Finnish company, Secto – though at a fifth of the price. John Lewis is introducing a range of pieces, including wooden accessories, with a pared-back, Scandinavian feel. B&Q has a new Nordic-style wood-and-white table lamp, Noorland; Ikea is launching its curvy Isala furniture range, inspired by vintage Swedish furniture; and Heal's is launching a range of Scandinavian-influenced furniture and accessories, including sofas upholstered in Marimekko fabric. It's all very appealing. Perhaps the more uncertain the world looks, the more we want to surround ourselves with comforting, safe and homely products. Hygge, in other words.

Adele - The Voice Of An Angel

I have to admit that I haven't always loved Adele. It is just since I've heard "Someone Like You" That I fell utterly and completely in love with her.. LOVE that voice and especially in this song. At the same time, I think we all can relate to the song. I know I can. I have someone that I think just like that too. Thank god that it isn't as much as I once did, but this song really reminds me of that time I had with this boy. I think I will always love this song and I really do believe that from this time and forward I will always love Adele. She has got the true voice of an angel..

"Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue"

Not so long ago I watched the movie "something borrowed". I was sooo moved, so offcourse when i quickly found out, that it waas based on a book I decided to read the book. I couldn't stop reading and loved every little bit about it, as I did with the movie. After I watched the movie first time, I actually started watching it one more time straight after first time :-D I did excactly the same with the book. Emily Giffin really caught my attention with the book, and luckely I also bought the book "something blue" while I bought "Something borrowed", so I quickly started reading that too, and it was just as much moving as the first book. To everyone who haven't watched the movie or read the book, I sincerely hope you will. It is romantic and SO great.

The movie "Something borrowed" is about a girl named Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) who is best friends with Darcy (Kate Hudson) who is getting married with her fiancé Dex (Colin Egglesfield). Rachel and Darcy has been friends since they were kids and has bin best friends since then. Rachel met Dex at law school and soon after that Rachel and Dex were an Item. Rachel is theMaid of honour at the wedding and is just turning 30. Since her party which Rachel is throwing her, everything is turned upside down. Feelings torn between true love and friendship. How will it end? I guess you just have to find out.

As I come to think about it, I really don't think they could have chosen any better actors and actresses to play all the roles in the movie. MUCH love and MANY thumbs up to the actors and actresses in this movie <3

WATCH THE MOVIE NOW! AND GO READ THE BOOKS STRAIGHT AFTER.. OR BEFORE :-D

REMEMBER "SOMETHING BLUE" IS THE FOLLOW UP TO "SOMETHING BORROWED" HERE WE FOLLOW DARCY'S LIFE, WHERE AS IN "SOMETHING BORROWED" WE FOLLOW RACHEL'S LIFE..
