Must Watch TV Shows for Summer 2013

The summer is here. That means TV watchers are forced to say good-bye to their favorite programs, which will hopefully return in the fall. Meanwhile there’s summertime television to fill the void. There are a few shows you’re going to want to watch out for this summer.

Without a doubt, the most exciting program that will finally be hitting the airwaves again is “Whose Line is it Anyway?” Yes, the show is silly, cut it’s also hysterically funny. Tuning into the antics of these improv comedians offers the perfect way to wind down after a long day. Although the show has a new host, the powers that be managed to bring back the same hysterical cast you fell in love with back when Drew Carrey hosted. If you can’t catch the program when it airs, you’ll definitely want to set your DVR to catch the fun. The show airs on The CW.

“Devious Maids” might not be for everyone, but fans of “Desperate Housewives” will want to check it out. Not only do the two shows have the same creator, but they also stick to the same soapy feel. The difference? This time the show has a Latina feel that Cherry has borrowed from the tele-novella. It looks like it might be an upbeat, somewhat scandalous version of “Downtown Abbey”. “Devious Maids” can be found on Lifetime.

If you’re looking for something that feels contemporary and like something that combines reality with fiction, you want to head over to ABC Family and check out “The Fosters”. It’s an edgy drama that looks at an interracial pair of lesbians and follows their adventures while they raise biological and foster children.

What To Look For When Purchasing A Dock

Is there anything better than living on the water? Obviously this is a subjective issue but for many people this is a dream that they would love to see fulfilled. Living on the water can be a great way to relax and it could also offer a great way to stay close to your favorite fishing hole. Regardless of what your motivation is, living on the water is a great opportunity. However there is one key aspect that many people fail to remember when they consider a move to a lake or a river. When living on the water, the only way to really have access to the water is by having a dock that allows you to walk out over the water. In many cases, piers are considered the best way for people to have the ability to walk out over the water. If you are looking for a great pier then you need to make sure that it is built well and that it covers the amount of space that you desire.

Lack docks are very common since they are a great way to have a place to tie up your boat or your jet ski. These are found on almost every lake lot and they add a great deal of value to the home and the land. These docks will not only add value but they will add great pleasure to your lake lifestyle. Another aspect of this discussion could be your decision to use either wood or steel. Steel docks are a great way to go if you are looking for a structure that will last for a long time. Steel is a great material and it will hold up well in high humidity places.

In other cases people will decide about using a raised boardwalk. These are very common in old settings such as along the Jersey shore. This type of walkway is simply a sidewalk that has been raised off of the sand. It allows for easy walking without the sand and dirt getting all over you or your clothes. If you are looking for great deck walkway ideas, this could be the best option. These types of decks will allow you the freedom of a dock without the cost associated with the installation. Ultimately the choice is up to you.

Personally, my lake docks are the most important things about my lake home. I fish from the dock, tie up my boats, and even use the platform for swimming. I could not imagine living on the water without the use of the dock. If you are looking for a great walkway then you need to consider the benefits of docks and piers. It could be the best idea that you ever see come to be a reality.

The Day the Music Died

I was watching the news not too long ago when I saw that legendary bluegrass artists Earl Scruggs passed away. I was sad to see that one of North Carolina’s native sons had gone on home.  Scruggs was a pioneer of bluegrass music. He was able to invent a new style of banjo playing. This style became known as the Scruggs style. It combined bother rhythm and melody with picking that was innovative for the time. When banjo music was still tied to a strumming style like that of guitars, Scruggs created a whole new sound for bluegrass music. Still his music is iconic with songs like “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”.  It got me to thinking about the fate of bluegrass music.

Bluegrass is definitely not as popular as it used to be. Plus, I live in the area where Scruggs hales from, and still people are just not on board like they used to be. You can still find a few country stores where on a Friday night the band gets together for a foot stomping. I just see bluegrass music losing some of the charm that once made it so popular. Earl Scruggs was a gem in the music community.

I hope that bluegrass doesn’t go the way of Big Band or other genres that just fell from popularity. It is too important to this region and to the people here. I think to keep bluegrass music alive, there would need to be a revival. Bands like Mumford and Sons are starting to pick up the old sounds of Appalachia. We’ll see how this pans out; maybe the roots will always run deep here in the mountains.

Real Music Makes a Comeback

For too many years now the music industry has been trying to sell us second-rate slop made by artists who have no talent whatsoever. With enough glitz and glam anyone can be a musical sensation. Shows like American Idol did their best to combat this new direction taken by the music industry. With a genuine desire to find talented musical artists, they started out with a good purpose and motive.

Then somewhere along the line the music industry machine ran over the flicker of hope. I don’t blame them personally. It was a shift that happened in the 1980’s with glam bands, big hair, and electronic music manipulations. With all of the junk to distract the audience, it was bound to happen. The general public became jaded with the distractions. They could no longer tell the difference in real talent and the flashing lights before them.

But no more! The day has come, and it came with a vengeance at the 2012 Grammys. Adele took home six awards that night, and it was a victory for music. No more Lady Gaga or Katie Perry sensational or dramatic crap. It’s just real music winning one for the real artists out there that have only their voices and a dream. We, the adoring fans and out-crying masses, are sick of the drama and glitter and crazy shenanigans. We just want some good music. The kind you sing along to. The kind you know every word to. The kind you can rock to! So let’s hear it for Adele who perhaps single handedly brought back real music in the face of an industry that was promoting the show and the music!
