For the most part, the system is safe but that doesn’t absolve riders of their responsibility to prevent accidents and injury. The Edmonton Transit System tasks their employees, from train operators to peace officers to maintenance officers, with keeping you safe. You can help them by keeping a few simple tips in mind whenever you approach the LRT station Obey all signs and signals. The crossing arms block traffic on the street and sidewalks at LRT crossings, so be sure to stop and wait whenever they are down.

Look both ways If the arms are up, make sure you look both ways and listen carefully before crossing the track. The trains run quietly, so you may not hear them but you would defin- itely see them. You should also listen for announcements of the arrival or departure of trains when you are near or at the station. Do not cross the tracks until the train has passed. ETS officials have spent time and money on improving warning systems around LRT stations and tracks in order to increase your awareness with warn- ings.

This week, long-time Nugget contributor Matt Mosewich and I finally reveal our Stanley Cup predictions! With the NHL season off and running this week, Sportsnet and TSN have outlined all of the analysis, gut-feelings and video game simulations revolving around the next winner of Lord Stanley’s Cup. The selections are across the board amongst both fans and broadcasters. The most commonly named teams are the New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, St. Louis Blues, Anaheim Ducks, Montreal Canadiens and the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks. Las Vegas favours the Hawks with 13-2 odds, while the Bolts, Los Angeles Kings and Ducks follow at 8-1, 10-1 and 11-1, respectively. Will the Stanley Cup return to the Windy City? Does King Henrik finally win a title? Are the Blues over the hump or still posing? Can Tampa use last year’s experience to reach a new level?

APP REVIEW Sunshine not always bright By Danielle S. Fuechtmann A weather app is one of the things that is easy to overlook on your phone. You don’t use it that much and as long as it’s decently accurate, it does the job! There are hundreds of weather apps available but most of them do the same tasks with slight variations in design. Sunshine switches things up with an aes- thetically pleasing experience and personal weather forecasting. Sunshine uses the barometers built into smartphones, using the app to gather crowd sourced data and weather information about the area you’re in. It also takes a per- sonal approach to weather, using information about your routine and your responses to questions about the current weather to send you personalized alerts and weather rec- ommendations for the day. I love the idea of Sunshine and I think it’s a beautiful app to look at; however, I think there are some big flaws with it, some of which may improve as the user base grows. The main screen of the app shows a softly animated rendering of the weather in your area. It’s a bit reminiscent of the weather maps on TV but with a prettier design. The slider on the bot- tom of the weather map moves the forecast from current weather to approximately 18 hours in the future. One of the disadvantages of the app is that it’s focused accurate weather information. The app also offers daily your existing weather app of choice. I prefer to have on current, hyperlocal weather information, which is weather notifications that summarize the weather pre- detailed weather predictions with at least a few days excellent if you want to know what to expect for short- dictions for the day and offer some personalized recom- forecasted and Sunshine’s lack of long-term, or even term weather but highly inconvenient if you’re trying mendations based on the preferences you’ve set.

Depending on my mood, I might think about it the day before but since I’m waking up by like 6 in the morning it’s often just what’s clean. It usually doesn’t take me too long to figure out what I want to wear, it’s usually like “that’s the thing and that’s a thing and they go together!” Where do you like to shop? A lot of online shops, the Hundreds, H&M, Urban Outfitters, thrift stores - especially Divine, Disturbia, Sheinside, Killstar and Zumies. Thursday, October 8, 2015 ENTERTAINMENT The Nugget 33 album review Unique blend of influences By EITHEN SMYTHE On Aug. 12, English rock band Royal Blood came to Rexall Place to open a con- cert for Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. If the band’s self-titled debut is any indica- tion, it should come as no surprise to any- one when it headlines concerts of its own in the near future. Released in 2014, the band’s unique blend of influences and instrument sounds is beginning to make headway around the rock music scene and push the boundaries of a genre on the decline.

Just two members The Brighton band’s unconventional nature begins with its makeup, with just two members. The band simply uses a bass guitar, run through a special octave pedal, which outputs the bass through both a guitar amp and bass amp. This guitar sound is similar in nature to bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, a very influential band for Royal Blood’s com- positions and one which front man Mike Kerr said “changed [his] life” after seeing that band at the Reading Music Festival www.aclfestival.com in his youth.
