Guys, so Phoenix is on my radar for a road trip next month and I always try to time these things around live music if possible. Rock is pretty much all I listen to and I know the city has a decent venue scene. Anyone keeping an eye on rock concerts in Phoenix coming up? Open to anything from hard rock through to classic acts, just want something with a good atmosphere.

Phoenix has a solid rotation of touring acts coming through, the venue mix helps too. Talking Stick Resort Arena pulls the bigger names and there are a handful of mid size venues that tend to book really interesting support acts alongside the headliners. Worth checking what's on before you lock in your dates.

The mid size venues are honestly where the best experiences tend to happen. Rock concerts in Phoenix draw decent crowds year round and the scene has enough variety that there's usually something worth seeing regardless of when you visit. The outdoor venues are particularly good in the cooler months when the weather cooperates. Worth having a look at what's coming through before you finalise the trip.

This summer, KPMG published a bellwether report on behalf of the newly formed Alliance of British Watch and Clockmakers, a much-needed centralizing organization led by Smith and Christopher Ward co-founder Mike France. It found there were more than 100 watch companies based link in the UK, between them turning over more than £100m annually. Small fry yet, but growing.

About 10% of the population is link left-handed and it was not unusual, once upon a time, for lefties, once they started school, to be forced to write with the right hand (the Soviet school system enforced this uniformly, for instance). There are many reasons for this, including cultural bias against lefties, and the fact that many appliances and tools are designed on the default assumption that the right hand is the right hand. A mechanical can-opener is just one example.

However, at the same time, Lecomte also refuses to let the newfound success of his company take away from his two other main passions in life – teaching and spending time with his family."I've found a balance between making my watches, link being a professor, and being with my family," Lecomte says. "I teach two days per week, and then I work on my watches three days a week. I also spend a lot of time at night working on my watches."
