Simone Felice has already managed to experience most of life's various adventures and he has yet to reach middle age.
Some of those highs and lows, as one might expect, fuel the emotional depth of his songs, poems, short stories and novels.
With a lauded new album, Strangers, just released he arrives at Cluny 2 on Sunday night with his band for a highly anticipated return.
Rewinding the clock almost a decade or so and Simone, along with his brothers James and Ian – and a bassist called Christmas Clapton – embarked on a musical journey when they became the Felice Brothers.
Initially, they busked on the New York subway at places like 42nd Street and Greenwich Village. The family home was outside the city, up in Palenville in the Catskill Mountains of the Empire State and the rural setting would lead to comparisons with the nearby Woodstock redoubt of Bob Dylan and The Band whose music, a generation earlier, was to influence their future direction.
Simone plays several instruments but covered the drum-stool with the then fast-rising and critically acclaimed band.
That was back in 2005/6 and he went on to make half a dozen albums with the Felice Brothers, leaving them for a solo shot in 2009.
Felice had started his musical life in a teenage punk band, later wrote poetry and then a short novel called Goodbye Amelia. The famed producer, Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and recently Nottingham's Jake Bugg) sought-out Felice to augment the Avett Brothers album, I & Love & You, which subsequently made the number one slot on Billboard's folk album chart.
Felice, by now playing guitar almost exclusively, then decided on a new band project that he called The Duke & The King (a nod to Mark Twain's Huck Finn tale) and the resulting Nothing Gold Can Stay (2009) album – and the follow-up, Long Live The Duke & The King – picked-up great reviews and upped his artistic stock still further.
The comparisons made by the critics came in a flurry with key names like Dylan and Cohen among them. His range of roots influences – folk, country, soul, gospel etc – allied with a rock sensibility garnered more very flattering reviews.
Considering he has endured (and fully recovered from) open-heart surgery – he almost died due to a brain aneurism as a 12 year old – the road to the here and now has not been without its challenges.
Nevertheless, he has gone on to write another novel (the Iraq-war inspired Black Jesus in 2011), released a couple of EPs and now brings his new full-length album to Europe.
Felice is nothing if not resilient but above all he is a genuinely charismatic live performer who gives it his all on stage and the range of his material throws up musical surprises on a show by show basis.
A few days later, on Thursday night, another New York act plays the lovely Studio at Live Theatre on the Quayside.
Dubl Handi (Double Handy) is an old-timey band consisting of Hilary Hawke (banjo/vox), Brian Geltner (percussion/vox and more) and guitarist/vocalist Ernie Vega.
They use the trade name of an old 19th century washboard in keeping with their down-home, Appalachian-style sound. They also have a new album, Up Like The Clouds, on general release.
They are resident band, when not touring of course, at Brooklyn's Jalopy Theatre which is, apparently, the favourite venue of celebrated Academy-award-winning film-makers Joel and Ethan Coen, who have frequently used roots music in their critically-acclaimed work.
Tomorrow night at Gateshead's Old Town Hall, country singer Suzy Bogguss has the opportunity to showcase her new album, Lucky.
Originally from Illinois, Bogguss moved to Nashville early in her career and recorded her debut album more than 30 years ago.
She has well over a dozen albums (and around 40 singles) to her name and had a string of top 10 singles in the early 90s.
Among those successes were Outbound Plane (written by Nanci Griffith and Tom Russell), Drive South (by John Hiatt), Hey Cindarella and Just Like The Weather.
Suzy also recorded an album called Simpatico with ace guitarist and architect of the "Nashville sound", Chet Atkins.
Bogguss is well-known to fans in the region, having played here numerous times in various formats. Her new album features 12 songs by the highly influential Californian Merle Haggard, who along with Buck Owens, was to forge the "Bakersfield sound", a rougher variant to the more polished style of Atkins.
Tickets for the show can be obtained via the Sage box office.

Over at Lawfare Ben Wittes aks Will Bin Laden's Death Reignite the Interrogation Debate? I think there is little doubt that it will.
Consider this recent post by Marc Thiessen over at The American Enterprise blog. Thiessen writes
"So Guantanamo detainees provided the key intelligence that allowed the CIA to track down bin Laden. But not just any Guantanamo detainees. It turns out the detainees in question were KSM and Abu Faraj al-Libi…Before coming to Gitmo, both were held by the CIA as part of the agency's enhanced interrogation program, and provided the information that led to bin Laden's death after undergoing interrogation by the CIA. In other words, the crowning achievement of Obama's presidency came as a direct result of the CIA interrogation program he has denigrated and shut down."
His source? A New York Times report that notes:
As Obama administration officials described it, the real breakthrough came when they finally figured out the name and location of Bin Laden's most trusted courier, whom the Qaeda chief appeared to rely on to maintain contacts with the outside world.
Detainees at the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, had given the courier's pseudonym to American interrogators and said that the man was a protégé o Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the confessed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
American intelligence officials said Sunday night that they finally learned the courier's real name four years ago, but that it took another two years for them to learn the general region where he operated.

BOYERTOWN Ś If Robyn Piveteau would have had to choose just one sport to play in college, nobody knows how that decision would have turned out. Maybe not even Piveteau herself.
Fortunately, the recent Boyertown graduate did not have to make that choice after finding a school where she can play both soccer and lacrosse while continuing her education ¢ East Stroudsburg University.
But the opportunity to play both sports was not the only reason for her decision to attend the NCAA Division II and Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference member school of close to 6,000 undergraduate students located about 90 minutes away.
ōItÆs not too far away. I can come home when I get the chance,ö Piveteau said at a recent National Letter of Intent signing ceremony at the high school. ōI really like the size of the school. ItÆs not too big and not too small.
ōI felt like I bonded with the players on the team and feel comfortable. They say when you find the right place, youÆll just know. I kind of got that feeling. It just feels like a comfortable, safe place. Anything I need will be in walking distance without much purpose for a car.ö
And there seem to be no worries about juggling two sports and academics, something that Piveteau is certainly used to after playing with both top-notch Bear squads throughout high school. In fact, anything less would seem a bit strange.
ōA busy schedule is what IÆm used to,ö she said. ōItÆs the days I donÆt have anything I think that somethingÆs wrong with me. Sports took up my whole time.ö
Those were successful times, too, as Piveteau was a key part of back-to-back Pioneer Athletic Conference soccer championships the last two fall seasons and helped the lacrosse squad extend its string of PAC-10 titles to 10 while earning a trip to the PIAA Tournament this spring.
ōItÆs been a very pleasant journey,ö Boyertown girls soccer coach Bill Goddard said concerning his long association with Piveteau. ōI think sheÆll find a way to manage her time. SheÆs a very good athlete. She was a very versatile athlete.
ōAs a sophomore, she was in a defensive position, but she ended up scoring some huge goals for us. SheÆs a versatile player, a very good teammate. Whatever we asked her to do for us, she was willing to do ģ whatever is best for the program.ö
Bear girls lacrosse coach Pam Wernersbach also thinks that PiveteauÆs talent, along with her experience with busy schedules, will help her to be successful at East Stroudsburg.
ōSheÆs a natural lefty,ö said Wernersbach. ōShe has really good endurance. She has a good nose for the ball and gets herself into position to make plays based on her natural athleticism.
ōFor her, I think itÆs going to be a good fit and going to give her a chance to be more focused on her studies ģ just stay with the routine.ö
Piveteau, the daughter of Bob and Sheri Piveteau of Barto, has been playing soccer since the age of four and lacrosse since seventh grade.
ōRachel Engler (a Boyertown lacrosse teammate) ... I learned in her back yard,ö she said. ōI got into lacrosse with the junior high JV team. I played varsity in ninth grade. Phantastix (Lacrosse Club of Phoenixville) ... thatÆs where they really helped me. IÆve known my soccer coach (Goddard) since I was 10 or 12. HeÆs like my second father.ö
Along the way, she earned seven varsity letters ¢ three in soccer and four in lacrosse ¢ and learned valuable lessons in both sports.
ōDefinitely, from both of them, always to work hard and give 110 percent,ö said Piveteau, who will enter college as undecided as far as a major course of study. ōFrom soccer ¢ being a strict, disciplined player. From lacrosse ¢ when to have fun, when to be serious. Both sports ģ itÆs what IÆve been raised with.ö

How bad for plumbing are disposable wipes?
Updated On: Oct 25 2013 10:50:09 AM CDT
By Philip Schmidt, Networx
Are disposable wipes bad for plumbing? Is the sky blue? While the subject of flushable toilet wipes may not join America's canon of rhetorical questions anytime soon, to plumbers and sewer treatment personnel, the answers here are equally obvious. Disposable wipes are designed to get past your toilet, but that's where the bigger problems can start -- in your home's main sewer drain and at the city's treatment facility. And don't even think about flushing down regular baby wipes or household cleaning wipes.
The Proof is in the Plug
If you browse plumbing industry chat rooms online (which makes for a great night in, by the way), you'll see that the word "softball" comes up a lot in describing clogs created by dozens of disposable wipes. Due to the extra time involved, extracting these plugs from home drain pipes can be very costly. And it's not just house drains that are getting clogged. Many cities report significant increases in sewage system clogs and maintenance costs related to flushable wipes and recommend that residents keep them out of the toilet. The city of Raleigh, N.C., has made it illegal to flush the wipes, placing them high on their list of "debris" that makes up the largest category of backups for their sewage systems.
What Does Flushable Mean?
This, it turns out, is a very good question. Flushable wipes are indeed flushable, just as a box of donuts and a case of Slim Jims are "edible." But just because you can get them down doesn't mean they're good for your system. While manufacturers of disposable wipes have tested their products in labs, the true test of how they affect plumbing takes place in the real world, where you have real people flushing way more than the recommended "one or two wipes per flush" and you have sewage pipes and equipment that don't always work like a laboratory simulation.
The question comes down to how quickly a flushable product breaks down in water. In 2009, Consumer Reports tested many of the leading brands of toilet paper and flushable wipes and concluded that all of the wipes completely failed the disintegration test, while even the strongest, thickest toilet papers squeaked by with a low passing grade. Flushable? Yes. Dissolvable? Not really, at least not enough to prevent significant clogs in many sewage channels. Consumer Reports recommends that users of wipes should dispose of them in the trash instead of the toilet.
Lessons from the Septics
Anyone with a septic system knows that you have to baby these mini sewage treatment plants -- no drain cleaners, no Kleenex, no nothing other than toilet paper. Many city sewage professionals (and city budget planners) would love it if people on municipal systems would model their flushing habits after the septic folks. In other words, if it's not safe for a septic system, it shouldn't be flushed into a city system, either. So, are disposable wipes bad for septic systems? Is the sky blue?

"Fall down seven times, get up eight" is an old Japanese saying which I guess means that even if you have failed several times, keep on trying. That is what I need to do. It's a bit embarrassing to think that I was first on this site in 2008 and have been back several times since, but my weight is more or less what is was before. I couldn't even say the system as failed as I have never given it a proper try. So despite past lack of effort I am back giving things another go. I took the teeny-tiniest action tonight by buying a pedometer from Ebay. There are lots of great fitness trackers, things like Fitbit and Sparkpeople's own new one, but I didn't want to chance buying something expensive and then not using it. So I am starting simple and hoping that just seeing a motivating number to write down (at this moment am not even worried too much about accuracy, just seeing progress at all) will get me moving a little. I really don't want to be looking back on this blog entry in a year's time with nothing changed, I don't need massive success right away I just really want that feeling of finally moving in the right direction on the scales. Wish me luck! (Yes, I know we make our own luck, but all the same)
I am just starting out on my weight loss journey so haven't yet go those first thrills from exercising and seeing the scales change. And I first joined Sparkpeople a long time ago (2008) and did nothing then, so I am not getting too excited until I trust myself that I am going to stick with things. However I am feeling more optimistic this time partly due to getting more involved and logging on for several days straight, listening to the Audible audio book of "The Spark" which is like a voice in my ear telling me all good stuff, and I felt proud of keeping a food diary for a week which may seem easy but as we all know "Things which are easy to do are also easy not to do" (Jim Rohn). I have an appointment tomorrow with my doctor's practice nurse to discuss the diary and get her suggestions for changes I could make. However I have already thought of one myself. For a few years I have got a big giant grocery delivery from the Tesco supermarket near me, roughly every two weeks. As you can guess with it being so infrequent I could only order a few fresh items since these lasted a couple of days and there was limited room in the fridge. However I have decided now I am going to make the false economy of saving on delivery charges and just get a weekly delivery, so I can have more healthy stuff. So my latest shop arrived yesterday and included 3 side salads, cottage cheese with pineapple, brown bread, little snack boxes of raisins, almonds, and other healthy stuff and more importantly NO frozen pizzas, chocolate or crisps. Today I had a delicious tortilla wrap with turkey, low-fat cheese and salad and it felt GREAT to be eating proper food not just frozen ready meals. Just now I had a little afternoon snack of raisins and almonds where I might have had tea and biscuits in the past. I know it will take time before any changes are reflected on the scales but I am feeling a boost to my self-esteem just from having bought one week's worth of health food and I am pleased that after my previous false start this time at least I am starting properly with a serious intention to lose weight and have fun doing it!

IRS and Free File Alliance Sign One-Year Renewal of Partnership
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
IR-2014-64, May 21, 2014
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and the Free File Alliance, have signed a one-year extension for their partnership that makes free tax software available to the nation's taxpayers.
Free File is the free federal tax preparation and e-file service offered through brand-name software or online fillable forms. The software is available for taxpayers who earn $58,000 or less, which is 70 percent of taxpayers. Free File Fillable Forms is available to taxpayers who earn more than $58,000 and who are comfortable preparing their own federal return.
More than 3 million taxpayers have used Free File so far this year — a nearly 10 percent increase and the first double-digit increase in program usage in several years. Much of this increase is attributable to a new look and feel for the IRS Free File website, redesigned to make it easier for taxpayers to find the information they need and route to the software they want.
"Free File has helped millions of taxpayers prepare their taxes, and we look forward to continuing this important program," said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. "The Free File program saw increased use this year, a reflection of the value of this innovative effort."
The extension agreement includes specific language that a full renegotiation of the five-year Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding will begin in June. The IRS and the Free File Alliance currently intend to enter into a multi-year agreement prior to the expiration of this extension.
The current five year agreement expires in October. The one-year extension provides the IRS and FFA time to shape a longer term agreement to include innovations to the twelve-year-old Free File program in order to grow e-file, improve quality and reduce taxpayer burden.
Free File has played a key role in IRS' strategy for growing e-file. Nearly 43 million taxpayers have used Free File since it debuted in 2003. Using a conservative $30 tax prep fee, this means Free File users have saved nearly $1.3 billion.
Free File is still available through October 15 for extension filers at www.irs.gov/freefile.News Source : IRS and Free File Alliance Sign One-Year Renewal of Partnership

4.68/5 rDev +46.7%
ok, i admit i bought this for the label (mountain bike!) and this is NOT a favorite style...but, just had a post-xmas turkey sandwich...now time to have this 'dessert'
ok, the look of a hefe never bothered me (it's the taste usually)...nice initial stick lacing that dissipates into a small constellation chart...nice. hazy golden/amber, this looks to have a little 'heft'
nose: nice slight grainy nose, can't find the yeast i expected, maybe some hops? weird. and pleasant.
taste: wow...i mean, what flying dog did mixing belgium with the IPA style, this is another sort of mutation, a synergy that works better for sure. nice, bitter hops, quite pronounced but dry enough to let a touch of the wheaty, yeasty come thru...light enough to be refreshing (any time of the year), but bold enough to be had with anything with a bite like, say, dark chocolate with cayenne! the mouthfeel is right for the style as is the carbonation. quite balanced. the taste of course is balanced but at extremes. makes for a very successful, unique brew. cheers to the PIG! i'll be coming back for slop after my mud ride (it's coming down hard now...the trails call....).

Still my favorite Hefewizen to date. Always on the look for the best Hef and this one is at the top. It has all the right flavors and none of the oddities of some like Gordon Biersch's Hef having a bubble gum flavor in it. I know many like the sweet fruity flavors in some Hefs, like banana, but I am partial to the citrus, clove and wheaty flavor. If you like these qualities you'll like Leavenworth Whistling Pig Hefewiezen.
The smell is refreshing and gets my mouth watering right before I take my first drink. It smells like wheat beers should and gets you ready for the flavor that comes next.
The appearance is typical, a bit cloudy and golden.

Though the flat, doughy aroma immediately informs me this is not a Bavarian-style hefeweizen (my preference, or at the very least, my assumption upon hearing the German name), I am quickly sold on the smooth flowing body that folds across the palate like flannel. And the adorning lace is regal.
Have I bitched yet today about how I wish breweries would stop calling American wheat beers hefeweizens? I suppose I have. That said, this Whistling Pig is a very agreeable ale. It is densely translucent in a shade of blonde honey and comes served in a svelte weizen glass with the obligatory wedge of lemon. The name references the marmots common to the Cascade Mountains surrounding Leavenworth.
If you can taste nutrition (and certainly you can), it's likely to be noted in a clouded wheat beer whose suspended yeasts add protein and B-vitamins, and whose wheat adjunct adds a dry zest. And while I can't speculate as to what nutrient value dry zest may have, I'm willing to take my chances with the likes of this liquid bread. Whistling Pig has a relatively subdued flavor, but is a clean and drinkable beer tonic with good body and refreshment value. Recommended.

Pours very hazy and dark orangey-gold color, yet thin head on top. Nose is somewhat faint for the style, especially compared to other hefe-Weizen examples I've enjoyed this week. Palate has plenty of wheatcrackery flavors, some banana clove, and a yeasty/bready character that is nice. Easy drinking.

3.85/5 rDev +20.7%
A-Very Orange nearly white head. Almost no retention. Moderate Lacing
S- The smell is very wheaty along with some strong citrus tones.
T- The main part of the taste in this beer is a smooth wheatiness. Ends with moderate / strong citrus flavors.
M- Very Very light mouthfeel. You could drink these one after another all day long.
Overall: This beer is a drinker, not a sipper. This is most definitely not a bad thing, as I could envision many days working in the yard or partying at the pool and drinking many of these.

12 ounce bottle into weizen glass, Jan 2012 dating notched on the side. Pours hazy and cloudy golden amber color with a nice 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some bits of spotty lacing cling to the glass. Aromas of lemon, banana, clove, orange zest, wheat, bread, and yeast spices. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity; a bit of a metallic note as it warms. Taste of lemon, biscuit, wheat, clove, orange zest, pepper, banana, earth, and yeast spices. Lingering notes of citrus, biscuit, wheat, banana, clove, earth, and yeast spices on the finish for a good bit. Nice flavor balance and complexity; does not approach a watery feel like some I have had. A lot more bready and yeasty than most; but there is some decent amounts of citrus and banana flavors. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly crisp and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a nice Hefeweizen. Good amount of flavor with nice balance and complexity; nicely crisp and easy to drink. It was quite enjoyable.

12oz bottle
A- Pours a hazy golden orangish color with an off-white head with decent retention and lacing.
S- The aroma is fruity with some wheat and citrus and a touch of yeast as well. The citrus (lemon/orange peel) is what sticks out the most.
T- The taste has some wheat up front with a lot of the citrus flavors that were present in the nose. The finish has a citrusy lemon-like sourness to it.
M- The mouthfeel is light bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O- Overall, this is not a beer that is going to knock your socks off. However, this beer pretty much does what it is intended to do. It is a light bodied quaffable beer that is flavorful enough to make a decent session beer for these warm summer months here in Florida.

2 12 oz bottles poured into a Weizen glass
A- A hazy golden copper color with a four finger white head.
S- Floral, bitter herbs, lemons, wheat...kind of weak...
T- Wheat, some cloves, floral, touch of lemon, hint of banana, better than the nose, but again it is a little of the weak side.
M- Smooth, medium body.
O- This is an easy drinking beer and has enough flavor, but there are other hefes I like better. I did get this in a beer exchange so I am not complaining, but I would not seek it out again.

Leavenworth Whistling Pig Wheat Ale
12 0z. bottle; no apparent freshness dating.
Appearance: Typical cloudy golden-orange body beneath a full head of creamy white foam. The head retention is good, eventually dropping to a creamy surface covering. Lacing is average.
Smell: Wheat. Some yeasty fruitiness (apple, soft pear).
Taste: A fairly basic wheat beer with a little bit of yeasty fruitiness, and a little bit of actual "yeast" taste. It seems to utilize an English strain. Clean and straightforward, the malt and yeasty fruitiness combine from start to finish. There's very little hop flavor, and only a firm bitterness (as expected).
Mouthfeel: Light-medium in body. Gently crisp.
Overall: Given that they've labeled it as a "wheat ale" I have no trouble looking at it as just that. It's an American-style hefeweizen, basic and straightforward. There are no flaws to it, and it's quite drinkable except that it lacks a bit of character. Great summer beer!

Poured a lightly clouded deep yellow with a small white head.Nose is clove, wheat and citrus. taste is wheat, cits, like emon, clove and more booze than I expected from such a low ABV beer. Mouthfeel is heavier, maltier, and pretty deep. Pretty good overall and worth shot.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a cloudy dark golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some wheat. Taste is also on the mild side, light wheat, a bit of lemon, very easy drinking. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer, however a bit mild for this style.

Pleasantly surprising:
Koren Robinson- That kick return was insane. plus the great catch down field. This guy gets better and better each week I tune in.
Kevin Williams- hasn't had the best game of the season but he did bat down a whole lot of passes today. He was one reason that Eli was having so much trouble getting the ball off. The reciever cant catch it if the ball never reaches his hands.
DARREN SHARPER- Pro-bowl here we come baby. 4 INT's in a game.. thats just sick.
Keith Newman- Who would have thought that he would be so good this year. :shock:
Sam Cowart- Had a pretty darn good game. He was in on a lot of plays.
Corey Chavous- In on a lot of tackles. Missed some opportunities bud had an OK game.
Brian Williams- Was Plax even on the field? the double 17 really worked. :smile:
ERASMUS- This guy is a flat out monster. He gets off the ball so fast and he had to play practically the whole game. We made the right choice for sure with pick #18. This guy can play.
Mewelde- great punt return. nice...
Just plain ugly:
Brad Johnson- until the final drive... :pukeright:
Edinger- again.. until the final kick.. :pukeright: how is he so bad outdoors yet so good indoors? it makes no sense to me. :roll:
Bennett- Back to his normal self. :roll:
Tice- We need to see TROY more. it's like tice forgot we used our fricken 7th draft pick on the guy. he is a stud.. PLAY HIM.
O-line- shaky 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters but they got it together on the final drive.

In collaboration with Organization Anti-Social Geniuses, from here on out I'll be writing monthly figure reviews! I'm pretty new to figure collecting, but I've always enjoyed collecting things from dolls to Pokemon, and this is the newest way that I express my love for Japanese subculture. You can view my current collection here. Nendoroids are my current obsession, and as I'm sure you've noticed from the image and the title, the first one up for review is everyone's favorite magical girl, Madoka!
First we'll start off with some images of the box and the inside packaging. All Nendos come with two interchangeable face plates as well as accessories specific to the character. Madoka comes with additional hair ribbons, her bow and arrow, and a Kyuubey.
And here she is straight out of the box. The peg that goes into her back that attaches to the stand was a bit hard to get in, but now that it's attached, I don't think that it'll ever come off. Not that I mind, since I prefer this stand to other Nendo stands since at allows for more action-oriented poses, kind of like a smaller version of a Figma stand. The paint job, for the most part, is really well done for a mass-produced figure; her buttons are a little bit off, but nothing that's a deal breaker. However, like with any figure, your mileage may vary.
Kyuubey is easily the best accessory in the box, since he's a character all on his own. He was a little difficult to stand up though, since the weight of his tail outweighs the rest of his body. He's leaning pretty heavily on Madoka's hand in these pictures. If you want to pose him alone, you're going to have to adjust his tail accordingly. However, he does come with an alternate body so that you can attach him to Madoka's arm, but when I tried the pose Madoka's hair kept pushing his rings out of place. I'm sure that there's a way to correctly do this pose without a problem, but I prefer to show the two separately anyway.
Madoka is ready to take on some witches! It took me a little while to figure out what hand pieces I needed to use for this pose, and once I did figure it out, the arrow kept drooping towards the ground because I didn't put it in properly. Either way, it's a nice action pose and I'm glad that they included it.
Overall, this is a pretty nice figure for my second Nendoroid. Her faceplates are easy to change out, the joints aren't too stiff and she's adorable to boot. If you're a Madoka fan and you're thinking about getting her, I highly recommend her. The problems that I mentioned above are really only minor annoyances compared to the fun of playing with her. I think that she'd make a great addition to anyone's collection.
Next time: Madoka gets a friend? Images taken by me.

'We must include Knopp among those whom Barry Lopez calls our 'local geniuses of the American landscape," Fran Shaw remarks in the journal "Parabola". And, indeed, in this new book, Lisa Knopp's singular genius burrows deep into that landscape in showing us what it is to know, feel, and inhabit unique yet quintessentially American places. A collection of essays embracing non-fiction from memoir and biography to travel writing and natural history, "Interior Places" offers a curiously detailed group photograph of the Midwest's interior landscape. Here is an essay about the origin, history, and influence of corn.Here we find an exploration of a childhood meeting with Frederick Leopold, youngest brother of the great naturalist Aldo. Here also are a chronicle of the 146-year alliance between Burlington, Iowa, and the Burlington Route (later the CB&O, the BN, and finally, the BNSF) and a pilgrimage to Amelia Earhart's Kansas hometown. Whether writing about the lives of two of P.T.Barnum's giants or the "secret" nuclear weapons plant in south-eastern Iowa, about hunger in Lincoln, Nebraska, or bird banding on the Platte River, Knopp captures the inner character of the Midwest as Nature dictates it, people live it, and history reveals it.

Rivalry in the Unified Communications space is set to hot up as distribution powerhouse Westcoast flexes its muscle. The £1bn firm is launching a complete UC portfolio and has revealed plans to build significantly on its platform.
The Unified Comms market is poised to become much more competitive as Westcoast presses ahead with an ambitious UC channel campaign. The IT solution provider is on track to increase turnover by 15% during the coming year and capitalise on high growth markets such as UC, software security and cloud computing.
UC technology partners include household names such as Microsoft, HP, Audiocodes, Aastra and Sennheiser. "Westcoast believes that a UC solution is not always one-size fits all," stated Scott Somenthal, UC Sales Manager. "That's why we have carefully chosen a number of leading UC vendors that can seamlessly integrate to provide one real-time comms platform."
Westcoast is also in negotiations to provide a SIP Trunk offering and will look to add complementary technologies such as call logging and call recording to its UC kit bag.
Based on partnerships with Microsoft and HP Westcoast has built a Solutions Lab in Milton Keynes to showcase its UC portfolio.
"Today, end users can implement a UC solution from the desktop, integrate their desktop with an existing IP PBX or continue to invest in an IP PBX," added Somenthal. "Westcoast has the solution and the ability to support our partners to deliver any of these scenarios."
The company is engaging with a number of partners ranging from IT VARs, traditional voice, data and traditional mobile resellers.

In addition to bees, there are over 2,000 species of animals that act as pollinators. Pollinators play an extremely important role in our survival; without them, we simply would not be here. In fact, 75% of all flowering plants rely on pollinators in order to provide us with the food we eat and to also sustain many other species and wildlife. The collapse of the honeybee population and the scarcity of other plant pollinators have grown into a serious problem that requires immediate action, and ecoLogical is on board!
To raise awareness and support, the Pollinator Partnership has launched National Pollinator Week to not only educate the world about honeybees and Colony Collapse Disorder, but to also help spread the word about the importance of protecting other plant pollinators such as bats, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beetles. All of these pollinators together are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food, and the time to act is now!
One of the best and easiest ways to get involved and to help save the bees and other pollinators is to get outside this weekend, enjoy the sunshine and warm weather, and plant pollinator-friendly flowers and plants around your yard. Gardening is a great summer project, and it provides pollinators with safe and beautiful habitat. And, as always, never use chemicals or pesticides on your lawn or in your garden!!!
If you live in the Boulder/Denver area of Colorado (or the Southern Rocky Mountain Steppe/Open Woodland/Coniferous Forest/Alpine Meadow Province, which includes parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho), the best plants to attract pollinators include lavender, columbine, sunflowers, roses, phacelia, cilantro, sage, and many more! For the complete list and information about the best plants and habitat for pollinators, click here.
If you don't live in this particular region, click here to calculate your planting region by entering your zip code, then find out which pollinator-friendly flowers and plants will grow best where you live!

Boom boom music from a lollipop drum
Advantages: easy to play
Disadvantages: none
...Music is very important to us all. We have many ?toy? instruments at the special needs school where I work. One of these is the lollipop drum from Remo.
When you look at this it is obvious why it is called a lollipop drum.
The lollipop drum comes in 3 sizes 6?, 8?, and 10?
Each one has a shortish stick handle and a round drum head. The frame for the head is a narrow one about 25cm wide this...

I looked at Boss from over my cubicle wall as he passed by and he winked at me. We hadn't shared the news of us dating in the office, and we weren't planning on it, so this was a stealth wink. Unfortunately, coworker Sandy was standing next to me and when my cheeks reddened, she raised her eyebrows at me. "What was that about?" she asked, ready for gossip.
"Nothing," I muttered. "I was…nothing."
The truth was, I didn't want anyone to know in the office because I didn't know if I wanted to stay at the office, and I didn't know if I wanted to stay with Boss. I'd been looking at culinary schools, like he'd suggested. He was great and supportive and wonderful, and I think that might be the direction my life is headed, if I can get it together enough to apply to them and get loans and quit my job. Boss is a wonderful, loving, handsome, perfect boyfriend. So why don't I feel what I thought I would?
"It didn't look like nothing to me," Sandy said.
"It's just that I'm not sure about things," I said.
"What things?"
"Life, that sort of stuff. Job stuff."
"Like?" she prodded.
"Like, did you ever get everything you wanted, only it turned out that it didn't feel like what you thought it would?" I asked her.
"Did you get a raise?" she said excitedly. "Is that what this is about?"
"Uh," I said.
"Because if you got a raise, then I'm going to get one! I've gotten more contracts this month than anyone! Oh, this is great! I've been waiting to redo our kitchen, so this would be perfect timing." Sandy continued talking about cabinets and stoves, and I couldn't correct her. My mind drifted to Ian's letter, of how I'd hidden it from Boss, of how guilty I felt reading it because it made me so happy. It made me so happy I couldn't write him back and make it all real. We weren't together, we'd never be together, and there was no future for us. I had what I wanted, anyway. Didn't I?
"I'm going to talk to Boss this afternoon about my raise!" Sandy said, interrupting my thoughts.
"Wait, what?" I asked her. "I…didn't get a raise." I said.
"Really? Would you be willing to show me your paystub online and compare? Because I bet you make more than me. I'd hate to find out Boss was giving you preferential treatment for some reason," Sandy said, and I thought, Oh no.

Blatter says Israel to help Palestinian concerns
FIFA President Sepp Blatter says Israel has promised to help solve one of Palestinian football's biggest problems: Traveling in and out of the Palestinian territories.
After meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Blatter said the Palestinian travel problem was ''of national interest'' to Israel and Netanyahu agreed to help solve it.
''I have asked the prime minister to help me and to help football to try to solve this problem and he said, `Yes, I will help you,''' Blatter said in a news conference.
Because of Israeli security restrictions, members of the Palestinian national team are often unable to travel between the West Bank and Gaza for matches. Foreign players and officials have also encountered problems in entering the separate Palestinian territories.
At the FIFA Congress in Mauritius in May, the group called on Blatter for help. Jibril Rajoub, the president of the Palestine Football Association, argued at the event for sanctions against Israel. This week, he called the travel restrictions a ''siege on Palestinian sport.''
Very few people enjoy free movement between the West Bank and Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas Islamic militants who are committed to Israel's destruction. Israel restricts movement for security reasons.
In one famous case, Israel imprisoned a member of the Palestinian team for nearly three years before he was released last year after a lengthy hunger strike. Israel accused Mahmoud Sarsak of being active in the violent group Islamic Jihad, a claim he denied.
Blatter said he intends to create a taskforce to find a solution to the travel problem. He suggested Rajoub and Israeli Football Association chief Avi Luzon, along with the heads of football's European and Asian governing bodies, meet before the next FIFA executive committee meeting in October. He also cautioned that FIFA could not overcome political deadlock.
''There are some constraints that we, FIFA, cannot open. We need the help of the authorities,'' Blatter said. Neither he nor Netanyahu provided any details on potential Israeli government plans to solve the problem.
However, Luzon denied there was any problem. He said government data showed that all of the Palestinians' travel requests for 2013 had been approved. ''If they have some claim, I don't know what it is about,'' Luzon said.
The meeting between Blatter and Netanyahu also underlined the political value of football. Netanyahu defended the Israeli bombing of a football stadium in Gaza City during Israel's incursion into Gaza last year, displaying posters of images he said showed the stadium being used to launch rockets at Israel from a civilian neighborhood.
Blatter said at the press conference that while Netanyahu had offered to help, he has requested ''that football shall not be used as a leverage of any other activities than football, especially not political movements.''
The FIFA chief was also forced to address domestic controversy in Israeli football. On Monday, a government committee headed by Sports and Culture Minister Limor Livnat called for Luzon to step down because of conflicts of interest. The committee issued a report calling the IFA ''rotten,'' a term at which Luzon angrily fired back at the news conference.
''Whoever calls the IFA rotten has something rotten in his brain,'' he said.
FIFA rules forbid governments to interfere with their countries' football governing bodies. The organization last week suspended Cameroon, a major power in African football, when its government allegedly helped install the new president of the Cameroon Football Association. Blatter warned that FIFA would have to take similar action against Israel if the government forced Luzon to step down.

Book Description
Modern French habits of cooking, eating, and drinking were born in the Ancièn Regime, radically breaking with culinary traditions that originated in antiquity and creating a new aesthetic. This new culinary culture saw food and wine as important links between human beings and nature. Authentic foodstuffs and simple preparations became the hallmarks of the modern style. Pinkard traces the roots and development of this culinary revolution to many different historical trends, including changes in material culture, social transformations, medical theory and practice, and the Enlightenment.
Pinkard illuminates the complex cultural meaning of food in her history of the new French cooking from its origins in the 1650s through the emergence of cuisine bourgeoise and the original nouvelle cuisine in the decades before 1789. This book also discusses the evolution of culinary techniques and includes historical recipes adapted for today's kitchens.
