Coldplay2011: Mylo Xyloto, out on October 24

Mylo Xyloto is the upcoming fifth studio album and second concept album by English alternative rock band Coldplay that will be released on 24 October 2011.



STYLE
Mylo Xyloto will be a concept album. According to Chris Martin, the album is "based on a love story with a happy ending." Lyrically, the album is inspired by "old school American graffiti" and "the White Rose Movement." Martin also said that the album was influenced by HBO TV series The Wire. Coldplay have stated on several occasions that they want their next studio album to be "more acoustic" and "more intimate" than its predecessor, 2008's Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. The band has been recording in a North London church, in their new recording studio, "The Beehive", and in the studio used for the recordings of Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, The Bakery. The band has been recording with producer Brian Eno who was one of several producers involved with Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.

Mylo Xyloto was produced by Markus Dravs, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson with enoxification and additional composition by Brian Eno. The album will be released in digital, CD and vinyl formats. A special limited edition Pop-Up Album version will also be available, which will include a 12" x 12" hardback book containing graffiti pop-up art designed by David A. Carter, vinyl, CD and exclusive content including photographs, excerpts from the studio diary and the band's personal notebooks.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mia always dreamt of becoming 5'8" or higher that goes with the reason why she wears higher platforms. She wears lighter makeup these days because her MAN is particular with INNER beauty. She's the same old shopaholic you now, splurging over stuffs that a part goes to charity. Today, she is not writing blogs and promos anymore.

Some of her published works are "Cries, Cameras and Actions", "8 folds", "The Boat", "All for Carlie", "Ragnarok Online Love Story" and "Resume of Lovers". 

Abduction starring Taylor Lautner

Taylor Lautner stars as a young man unwittingly thrust into a deadly world of covert espionage in Lionsgate's action-thriller, ABDUCTION, directed by John Singleton.

For as long as he can remember, Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) has had the uneasy feeling that he's living someone else's life. When he stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a missing persons website, all of Nathan's darkest fears come true: he realizes his parents are not his own and his life is a lie, carefully fabricated to hide something more mysterious and dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). Every second counts as Nathan and Karen race to evade an army of assassins and federal operatives. But as his opponents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he'll survive – and solve the mystery of his elusive biological father – is to stop running and take matters into his own hands.

Written By: Shawn Christensen

SAN MIGUEL OKTOBERFEST “BEER FESTIVAL”

LET THE BEER FLOW FREELY!

This year, San Miguel celebrates the Filipinos’ passion for the world’s best tasting beers with San Miguel Oktoberfest “Beer Festival”, the grandest and most exciting beer event in the country!

The San Miguel Oktoberfest “Beer Festival” gives all beer-loving Filipinos an opportunity and a great reason to gather together and enjoy overflowing streams of all the award-winning beers of San Miguel – San Miguel Pale Pilsen, Red Horse Beer, San Mig Light, San Miguel Super Dry, Cerveza Negra, San Mig Strong Ice, San Miguel Premium All-Malt and Gold Eagle Beer. 


Experience the world-class quality and taste of these beers, all of which have received the Gold Quality Award from the annual Monde Selection Awards. (Monde is the world’s most prestigious organization that acknowledges the adherence of products to the highest international standards of taste and quality.)  It is not easy to be deserving of a citation, more so a gold medal from Monde.  Without a doubt, it is an astounding feat for San Miguel to reap a Gold Quality Award for each of these eight beer brands.


Also joining the festival are the new lemon- and apple-flavored San Miguel Alcoholic Malt Beverage and the limited-edition San Miguel Oktoberfest Beer. 

Get 3 cups of beer with your 50-peso entrance fee for all kickoff parties!  Plus, you can get a cup of your favorite beer for just 10 pesos!  Yes, that’s 10 pesos per cup of any and all of the freshest San Miguel beers! 

Your beer experience gets even better with the tunes of your choice! Rock out, get pumped up, chill out, and bounce in our different beer tents featuring some of the hottest musical acts in the country, including Slapshock, Greyhoundz, Mayonnaise, Gloc-9, Dice & K9, Nyko Maca, the Mocha Girls, Rocksteddy and The Dawn! You also get to bring home some cool prizes when you participate in our barkada games!


And at the center of it all is a gigantic 30-foot beer mug pyramid that’s overflowing with golden brew! This awe-inducing beer mug pyramid is the first and biggest of its kind ever built in the country!  The beer mug pyramid will stand as the monumental symbol of the goodness and freshness of San Miguel Beer.   And only San Miguel can guarantee the freshest and best-tasting beer because of the sheer number of San Miguel breweries in the country.   There is at least one built in every major Philippine island to make sure that the freshest beer gets to your favorite drinking joint.  Plus, you can be sure that every San Miguel Beer off the shelf is fresh because of its fast off-take in the market.

Facebook Timeline: The Story Of Your Life

from http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=10150289612087131

Tell Your Story with Timeline

by Samuel W. Lessin on Friday, September 23, 2011 at 1:30am

Since the beginning of Facebook, your profile has been the place where you tell your story. People use it to share everything from the small stuff, like their thoughts on an article, to the most important events of their lives, like the photos of their wedding or the birth of their child.

The evolution of your profile

Back in the early days of Facebook, your profile was pretty basic – just your name, a photo, where you went to school…stuff you'd cover in the first five minutes you met someone.

Over time, your profile evolved to better reflect how you actually communicate with your friends. Now you can can share photos of what you did last weekend, and updates about how you feel today.

But since the focus is on the most recent things you posted, more important stuff slips off the page. The photos of your graduation get replaced by updates about what you had for breakfast.

Say you're catching up with an old friend – would you rather find out that they had eggs this morning, or hear about their new dream job?

The way your profile works today, 99% of the stories you share vanish. The only way to find the posts that matter is to click "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page. Again. And again.

Imagine if there was an easy way to rediscover the things you shared, and collect all your best moments in a single place.

Introducing timeline – a new kind of profile

With timeline, now you have a home for all the great stories you've already shared. They don't just vanish as you add new stuff.

Timeline is wider than your old profile, and it's a lot more visual.  The first thing you'll notice is the giant photo right at the top. This is your cover, and it's completely up to you which of your photos you put here.

As you scroll down past your cover, you'll see your posts, photos and life events as they happened in time. You choose what's featured on your timeline. You can star your favorites to double their size or hide things altogether.

Filling in the blanks

If important parts of your story aren't included on your timeline, you can go back to when they happened and add them.

Or go to your private activity log. This is where you'll find everything you shared since you joined Facebook. Click on any post to feature it on your timeline so your friends can see it, too.

Add apps to your timeline

Introducing a new kind of social app that lets you show the things you like to do on your timeline – the music you listen to, the recipes you try, the runs you take and more.

These apps also help you discover what your friends are up to. You can even join in if you want: play the song they're listening to, or watch the same TV show.

You can start adding some of these new apps today, but timeline won't be available for a few weeks.

When you get your timeline, you can choose to publish it immediately or take a few days to review what's there and add anything that's missing.

Now, you and your friends will finally be able to tell all the different parts of your story – from the small things you do each day to your biggest moments. What will you create? We can't wait to find out.

Sam Lessin, a product manager at Facebook, is looking forward to adding the photo of his elephant-powered wedding to his timeline.

Love, now and always,

Mia

iPhone 5 Wanna Be's

Every year Apple fanatics are all waiting for the new product releases of the company,  especially the Amazing Apple iPhone. 


iPhone, for a lot of people, is the trendiest and coolest phone. Not that I don't agree with them, I actually admit that I once craved and drooled over an iPhone but the mutual feeling changed when I had my very first Blackberry. 



Anyways, annually, Apple releases the phone anytime from June to August. But, surprisingly, it's already September and no iPhone 5 is out. However, rumors says it will be officially launched on October. Does this have something to do with Steve Jobs stepping down? 


Because of this delay, tech peeps has been releasing their own iPhone 5 prototypes. But there's no official peek from Apple yet that makes it more exciting of what the iPhone 5 will really be...

  

Love, now and always,

Celestial Events for September 2011

Here are the celestial events for September 2011 that all moon geeks, whether be photographer, astronomer or simple human beings:

• September 12 - Full Moon. The Moon will be directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and will be fully illuminated as seen from Earth. This phase occurs at 09:27 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Corn Moon because the corn is harvested around this time of year. This moon is also known as the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the September equinox each year.


• September 23 - September Equinox. The September equinox occurs at 09:05 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the northern hemisphere and the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the southern hemisphere.


• September 25 - Uranus at Opposition. The blue-green planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. This is the best time to view Uranus. Due to its distance, it will only appear as a tiny blue-green dot in all but the most powerful telescopes.


• September 27 - New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth. This phase occurs at 11:09 UTC.
