MCAD Dance Atlantic Canada!

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:03:00 +0000

Check this out! The Maritime Centre for African Dance (MCAD) is dedicated to teaching, sharing and promoting African Culture though the art of dance, to youth and adults across Nova Scotia and Canada. To date, MCAD has taught well over 20,000 children and adults in schools, community centres, camps and programs. This number is ever increasing. This organization was formed out of a necessity for lack of cultural representation in the form of traditional dance in Nova Scotia. It is a collective of different individuals from Africa who have are trained in traditional dance and ranges from the South, North, West and East of Africa. Our most famous appearance was at President Obama’s Inaugural Ball!

MCAD offers a number of workshops, classes, performances and much more check us out at www.mcafricancamps.com! MCAD hosts “The Dance-Off”, a freestyle dance competition created for Canadians ages 4 and up who have a love and desire to showcase their dance creativity. The Dance-Off was created, in part, from the outpour of requests from freestyle dancers who feel that there were no such outlets in Atlantic, Canada. This year will be the fourth Hip Hop and Freestyle dance competition of its kind. Come show us what you got, for more info call 1-877-407-3399.

Weir Rockin’ in 10 Days!

admin — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:53:34 +0000

Recognizing that there is a lot of concert competition out there…we have come up with the Top 10 Reasons Weir Rockin’ is better than all those other shows:

10. Weir Rockin’ is 19+, so enjoy your beverage anywhere on the field.
9. If you don’t like the idea of standing in a field…bring a chair!
8. You don’t have to argue about who will be the designated driver…everyone on the free bus!!
7. It’s like going to a high school reunion…but fun!
6. 3,000 tickets for a venue that can hold 8,500 means that you aren’t squeezed in like sardines – lots of room to rush the stage!
5. Have you seen our stage set-up? It’s awesome!
4. Tickets are only $30, you’d spend more than that on dinner and a movie.
3. Supporting community events is important to the health of the community that you call home.
2. Rockin’ out to old school tunes in a ball field is on your “Bucket List.”

And the Number 1 Reason to Attend Weir Rockin’ 09 Featuring Trooper…
“Raise a Little Hell” and “We’re Here for a Good Time” brings back memories from a time of tight pants and big hair… and face it, right now you can use a journey back to those days!

Top Social Networking Websites

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 23:32:27 +0000

I’m writing a quick post to save some “bookmark space” on my browser. This post is about “social websites” like Twitter, Ning (a new one), Google Wave (coming soon) Facebook (of course), MySpace, Squidoo and LinkedIn, among many, many others!

I personally use a few – Twitter, Squidoo and LinkedIn. There is definite “viral power” in these networks, and the technology is truly amazing! For now, I’ll take it a bit slow (Slow and steady wins the race?), and we’ll see where things go. Now, get out there and start “tweeting” or something!!

Awesome Domain Names For Sale – MAYBE

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:52:24 +0000

I would love to develop these domain names into websites someday; I’m just not sure I’ll ever have the time! I already own and manage 8 websites not including the following domains. If any of these domains “strike your fancy,” drop me an e-mail with a reasonable offer and you just may get yourself one of these great domain names, for a price that won’t allow me to retire anytime soon. LOL

Many of these domains have serious “east coast” (Maritimes) roots, and would be considered premium domains in many markets around the globe. For example, I own www.HalifaxLawFirm.com – imagine that domain as NewYorkLawFirm.com or BostonLawFirm.com. This is a premium, generic .com for a Halifax Law Firm, and there’s only 1!

So, just for fun, and just in case you see something of interest, here we go…

http://www.halifaxlawfirm.com
http://www.mountuniacke.com
http://www.brantfordmall.com
http://www.brantfordrestaurants.com
http://www.sackvillerealestate.ca

I may even consider a partnership proposal on some of these domains!

Writer’s Block?

admin — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:00:58 +0000

I’m not exactly sure what “writer’s block” is, but I’m pretty sure I have it! LOL. I haven’t written a thing since July, and frankly I’m still at a loss at what I want to talk about these days.

I was thinking about writing a “bit” about watching Seinfeld re-runs. I still watch 5-7 episodes a week. Then I thought about “back to school;” more specifically, heading back to college or university, and all the things associated with that. I even considered writing about “which email program(s)” I like – gmail, hotmail or yahoo! Not one of those things seem particularly interesting to ME, let alone YOU.

So, here I am – stuck for something to say. Well, I did discover KIJIJI recently. Maybe I’ll write about that soon?

Brantford Mall Brantford Ontario

admin — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:03:26 +0000

On a recent vacation, I visited Brantford, Ontario, Canada. If Brantford sounds familiar, that may be because Brantford is the hometown of hockey great Wayne Gretzky. Brantford is also the place where Alexander Graham Bell spent many years working on a little thing called the telephone.

Canada’s “telephone city” is a wonderful place! In addition to the many
cultural and recreational opportunities, Brantford has some excellent shopping. In fact, just about everywhere you look on the “main drags” of Brantford, there are malls – either “mini malls” or “major malls” like Lynden Park Mall or the Brantford Mall on Highway 24.

And, if you like to eat… Brantford’s got it all! Fast food, cozy restaurants, “hole in the wall joints,” popular franchise chains and much more! Take a look at BrantfordRestaurants.com for more info. And the next time you’re in Southern Ontario, check out Brantford – you’ll be pleased that you did.

admin — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:31:59 +0000

It’s back! The “Weir Rockin” summer concert series at Weir Baseball Field in Upper Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada. Last year’s inaugural event was a major blow-out! Classic 80s rock group April Wine played to a sell-out crowd and helped set the wheels in motion for an annual “major event” in our community.

There is no doubt that this year’s band line-up will be another major event. More classic 80s rock with headliner Chilliwack and special guests Haywire! The concert is set for Saturday, August 23rd. Tickets are selling fast! Don’t be left behind wishing you had gone – celebrate the end of summer with 2,500 of your closest friends at Weir Rockin ‘08 featuring Chilliwack and Haywire.
