(FIFA.com) Now enjoying his fourth year in charge of Moghreb Tetouan, Aziz El Amri has clearly found a club to his liking. And it is probably fair to say that the Moroccan side are equally thrilled with the arrangement, their coach having steered them to a pair of league titles in his first three campaigns.
This season is set to be even more special for team and coach alike as Tetouan are gearing up to represent their country at the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup. When they do, El Amri will become the first Moroccan tactician to lead a side at the tournament, a breakthrough event he is not taking lightly.
"It's a huge honour for me to represent my colleagues and my compatriots," he told FIFA.com. "It's very rare to take part in this competition several times, and I hope our results will do the whole of Moroccan football proud."
When El Amri was first appointed, Tetouan President Abdelmalek Abroun tasked him with the mission of saving the club from relegation. The newcomer did just that before setting his sights much higher, and he quickly went on to show that Tetouan could rival Morocco's leading powers by masterminding a pair of title wins.
His spell at the helm has not been one long fairy tale, however, and there have been genuine tests along the way – not least when 14 players went on strike in 2011 to protest unpaid salaries. That forced El Amri to integrate the club's youth side into the first-team ranks, but the strike soon proved to be a blessing in disguise as the youngsters took Tetouan to their maiden championship crown after a 90-year wait in 2012.
Buoyed by that triumph, the club opted to retain their faith in youth, a strategy that nonetheless brings challenges of its own. "We have eight young players, which has advantages and drawbacks," said El Amri. "The positives are enthusiasm and motivation, with the players giving their maximum without worrying about their salaries. The major negative is obviously their lack of experience, which can cause them to make big mistakes. I hope we'll manage to avoid that.
"I think my team will perform very well," he added. "My players will feel a rush of adrenaline when they take part in this prestigious competition in a magnificent stadium filled to the rafters. Our motto is: 'Whatever the colour of your shirt, Tetouan will have you for dinner.'"
The club's fans are meanwhile hoping their side can match the achievement of Raja Casablanca, who progressed all the way to the final last year. El Amri is aiming high as well, but he is quick to point out that each team has its own pedigree and that merely qualifying for the Club World Cup is a feat worth celebrating.
Our motto is: 'Whatever the colour of your shirt, Tetouan will have you for dinner.'
Moghreb Tetouan coach Aziz El Amri
"Moghreb and Raja don't have anything like the same history or trophy cabinet," he explained. "That doesn't mean we'll be competing as tourists, going there to take photos of the other teams. We'll play for the honour of our town, our supporters and the country."
Top-quality opponents
With that goal in mind, El Amri has been paying close attention to Auckland City, the club his charges are due to face on 10 December in the opening match at Morocco 2014. He believes the New Zealand outfit have evolved significantly since they came up against Raja last year.
"I recently saw a video of their team and I can tell you that they have changed completely. Football in New Zealand is renowned for the physical qualities of the players, like in rugby. This team plays an original kind of football, which combines the Anglo-Saxon style of crosses and headers with very good tactical organisation and lots of passes along the ground. They'll definitely cause us problems."
Tetouan will look to create problems of their own by sticking with El Amri's beloved tiki-taka, the carousel-passing approach made famous by Barcelona. "I won't change my style, no matter how good our opponents are. It's thanks to that style that we won two league titles and reached the Club World Cup, all in spite of having a young team. Tiki-taka is spectacular and effective. For the last three years, we've dominated teams more experienced and richer than us. Moghreb Tetouan stand out because of our short passing and effectiveness in front of goal."
El Amri is hoping those qualities will take his team far enough in the competition to meet Real Madrid, a year on from Raja's showpiece loss to Bayern Munich. "Everyone wants to face Real Madrid," he said. "But before that, we have three obstacles to overcome: Auckland City, ES Setif and San Lorenzo. It will be a long and difficult road, but if we can beat those three teams, we'll have the honour of taking on Real Madrid and all their international stars. We'll try to meet the challenge, even if our modest experience is no comparison to theirs."

(morocco world news) Rabat – The Moroccan Royal Football Federation said that negotiations are underway regarding playing potential friendlies against teams from South America and Asia in the coming period.
The move comes at a time the Moroccan national team might be out of continental action for the next four years due to sanctions by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
CAF barred Morocco from hosting the upcoming African Cup of Nations following requests to postpone the tournament over fears of the Ebola Virus.
Speaking to sports website Hesport, Youssef Hajob, who is in charge of the national team's pre-competition matches, said that talks are underway to play friendly matches with national teams from South America such as Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, as well as from Asia, such as Japan and South Korea.
Hajob added that they are only awaiting CAF's final decision regarding the sanctions against Morocco in order to start working on a new program for the national team accordingly, and to sign contracts with the teams that will be available to play friendlies with.

Fiorentina are set to end the contracts of Moroccan striker Mounir El Hamdaoui and Ukrainian winger Oleksandr Iakovenko when the upcoming January transfer window opens.
El Hamdaoui and Iakovenko both have not been able to crack Fiorentina`s starting 11 even with the injuries of Italian strikers Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Bernardeschi.
According to La Nazione, Fiorentina will look to first try and loan both players out in January, but if there is not enough interest, both player's contracts will be terminated and each will be free to sign with whom they want.
Both El Hamdaoui and Iakovenko have not made an appearance this season for the Viola and do not seem to be part of head coach Vincenzo Montella's plans in the future.

Marrakech- Sheikh Isa bin Rashid Al Khalifa, the former president of the Bahrain Football Association said that he does not support the idea that Morocco participates in the Gulf Cup of Nations.
The former president's objection comes as a response to a claim made by Yousef Yaqoob Al Serkal, President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Federation, who said he would welcome the participation of the Moroccan national team in the Gulf Cup.
Sheikh Issa rejected the idea of allowing the Moroccan and Jordanian teams to take part in the Gulf Cup of Nations, stating that it's better to maintain the competition exclusively for the people of the Gulf, according to le360.
He added that in case Morocco and Jordan were allowed to participate in the Gulf Cup of Nations, this would open the door for other countries to make a request to participate in the competition.
The Gulf Cup takes place every two years with participation of the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman) in addition to Iraq and Yemen. The 22th second edition of the Gulf Cup of Nations is taking place in Saudi Arabia from 13 to 26 November.

Morocco came from a goal down to see off Zimbabwe 2-1 on Sunday and end a tumultuous 2014 on a positive note.
CAF opted to strip Morocco of Africa Cup of Nations hosting duties and remove them from the competition due to a row over the dates of the competition amid fears over the spread of the Ebola virus.
However, Badou Zaki's men picked up a 6-1 win over Benin in midweek to lift the gloom around the national side - a theme that continued on Sunday.
Zaki's charges extended their winning run to five matches as two goals in 14 second-half minutes turned the game on its head in Agadir.
Zimbabwe debutant Macauley Bonne had given the visitors the lead when he opened his international account 18 minutes in.
However, Stoke City winger Oussama Assaidi levelled for Morocco shortly after the hour when he sidefooted home from distance after some slick build-up play.
The turnaround was complete when Mouhcine Iajour tucked home the winner from the spot after the striker had been brought down in the box.

Morocco will be barred from the next two Africa Cup of Nations as punishment for refusing to host the 2015 edition in January-February, Confederation of African Football president Issa Hayatou said on Saturday.
"We are going to stick to the rules, that means elimination from the next two Nations Cups," Hayatou told France's L'Equipe sports daily.
"On top of that there will be the financial and moral damages to calculate."
Morocco are facing a 20 million dollar (16 million euros) fine for refusing to host the 2015 Cup in its scheduled January 17-February 8 slot over fears of the spread of the deadly Ebola epidemic to the popular tourist destination, Morocco's Le Matin newspaper suggested this week.
The north African state had called for the Cup to be postponed, but organisers CAF rejected their request, stripping them of their position as hosts and barring them from playing in the continental showcase.
Oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, which co-hosted the 2012 edition with Gabon, were named as Morocco's replacement as hosts for the troubled 2015 tournament on Friday.
Aside from the former Spanish colony in west Africa who now qualify automatically, three countries are assured of their place in the troubled 2015 Cup - Tunisia, Algeria and Cape Verde Islands.
There are 12 qualifiers scheduled for Saturday with defending champions Nigeria needing a victory in Congo Brazzaville to have a realistic chance of qualifying. AFP

What Danny Duffy gave the Royals earlier this month in a spot start in Detroit he delivered with even greater emphasis Wednesday night in a 8-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Duffy was dominant and at times electric and virtually unhittable. He often flashed those qualities in the past before elbow surgery — the non-iconic Tommy John procedure — put everything on hold. What was different this time was Duffy owned the strike zone. Seven strikeouts and no walks in 6⅔ shutout innings before the Royals went to their bullpen in closing out a fourth straight victory. The Royals flashed some offensive muscle too in hitting three home runs including two absolute bombs by Salvy Perez. It could have been three; Perez just missed a homer in his first at-bat and settled for a double. Perez finished with his third career four-hit game — his single was notable too — and produced his second four-RBI game in three days. He also drove in four runs Monday in an 11-1 victory over Tampa Bay. A...

Sarasota early voters cast ballots
Date: March 6, 2013
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
As of Wednesday morning, 319 residents voted early in Sarasota's City Commission election.
During the last city election in 2011, 1070 residents voted early, with many casting their ballots during the last two days of early voting.
"Usually during an election you will see maybe a quick start and it will taper off," said Cathy Fowler with the Sarasota Supervisor of Elections office. "Of course the last weekend of early voting it will pick up again."
Six candidates are running for two at-large City Commission seats. The election is March 12, and early voting runs until Saturday, March 9.
Early voting will take place 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, Sarasota County Terrace Building, 2001 Adams Lane, Sarasota.
For more on the upcoming election, see Thursday's edition of the Sarasota Observer.

Kindle users finally get to pay for games
Kindle users bored of the latest bonkbuster can now run up a game of scrabble on their e-ink screens, once they've shelled out $5 for the privilege. In January Amazon announced a Kindle software development kit, and put a call out for applications to turn its e-book reader into a tablet platform. Since then we've seen a couple …
Looks like a port
This looks a lot like the crappy version of Scrabble that EA did for Apple - it will keep the kiddies amused but for a serious Scrabble play it's a very much flawed product. So far, the best "tablet based" Scrabble game is on the Windows Mobile platform but unfortunately it's not been updated for years.
Too late?
I never understood the point of the Kindle. Everthing is multifunctional these days and Amazon thought it was a good idea to release a product that was effectively single function. And now it seems we are supposed to treat it as news that it's finally got another "function".
Not Quite ...
Thing is they are small, light, cheap (now), large screen and no glare so can be read for long periods of time, even in sunlight.
The main issue in the past had been the cost, but the new Kindle has effectively halved the price and may even have started a price war with the other manufacturers.
Sure I can read ebooks on my mobile phone - I used to years ago on my old Palm Vx and Tungsten T2, but then you have small size and glare on the eyes. Yes you can use a netbook, but that's not practical on a train/plane and again you have glare, and you can use an iPad, but they are expensive, heavy over short periods (it's amusing watching people on the tube get in to increasingly uncomfortable looking positions as they try to support the weight of their iPads), and again you have glare.
@AC, 27th September 2010 11:28 GMT
this is my biased opinion.
the single function of the kindle was its greats selling point for me. With multifunction devices (specially the PC), those other function do distract you from reading. Before you start reading for some reason checking your email, checking the news and pressing F5 on webpages become a higher priority.
so in my view, there are many distractions out there, the kindle's single functionality helped reducing them, when it is in use.
Reg Hardware
It's very good that you have managed to review 'the only 3rd party game so far' on the Kindle, but do you think you could you get your hardware boys and girls to take the 3rd gen Kindle itself for a spin?
It's been a while since your last ebook-reader comparison and I have money burning a hole in my pocket (Kindle=Christmas so far, but your reviews have always had a way of discovering a ringer or two :)
If you are up for an e-reader, the Kindle is superb (for me).
There are app's on the net for converting your pdf manuals to Kindle friendly sized pages etc. and plenty of raw text books (ie free) out there.
I got mine two weeks ago and I've hardly put the thing down, I've gone through 8 books so far.
It was cheap enough to take a chance on at £109, but there are some downsides. The text to voice interpreter is great, as long as you're reading Hawkins guide to the universe - anything other than that it just seems a little odd :)
The browser actually works (over wi-fi) for emergency purposes, but too clunky for any other use, having to zoom in and out to move about on the screen is slow, but it works.
Oh great.
As if it wasn't bad enough that Apple turds can't resist playing games on their iPhones on my daily train commute. Now the Kindle brigade (clearly bored with reading books) are going to join them too.
where is hangman?
and chess
and learning/teaching applications?
there are many applications that don't need colours or refresh rate. It is surprising that the kindle doesn't have a WordPad like application!
training books for the kindle could actually have a built-in interactive Q&A. Why don't them have them yet!
"lack of international support"
This is due to the long running playground spat between Hasbro and Mattel. Hasbro have the rights for the game in the USA and Canada, Mattel have the rights for the rest of the world and they cannot agree to play nicely together...

Exploring wine country, touring the San Luis Obispo region, or getting everyone to the wedding on time. Bus of Fun's shuttle and limo rentals make these trips considerably more convenient. For added ease, rentals are available by the day and don't include a driver, making renters their own chauffeurs. While anyone 25 and older with a class-C license can get behind the wheel, Bus of Fun also provides a list of professional drivers for those who prefer to leave the navigating to someone else. Limos and buses accommodate 9 and 15 passengers, respectively, making them the ideal transport for such mobile gatherings as bachelorette parties and road trips to Denny's.
At Wheel Fun Rentals, visitors can traverse surrounding areas in fun pedal-propelled vessels while soaking in oft-overlooked scenery, which would not be possible while buckled to a car seat or an Acme rocket. Established in 1999, Wheel Fun Rentals provides locals and tourists with an engaging way to sightsee while promoting a healthy lifestyle. Customers can rent a wide range of vehicles, such as a surrey ($25–$35 per hour), cruiser bike ($8–$9 per hour), or mountain bike ($9 per hour).
When Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, Inc., he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts and blindfold obstacle courses navigated via shouted instructions from a seeing teammate or exceptionally long rounds of trial and error.

Recommended shows
Don't miss: Wavves and King Tuff at the Neptune Theater {Saturday, 10/19}
Wavves was formed in 2008 as the project of San Diego's Nathan Williams, after he quit his record store job. He recorded his first two releases -- 2008's Wavves and 2009's Wavvves -- in his bedroom, and both were somewhat lo-fi and fuzz-filled. (The distortion on the albums is so overriding, it's almost hard to make out most of the lyrics, but despite the quality there are some good melodies hidden in those songs.) The albums received enough blog hype to garner the band spots on that summer's festival circuit, a small success that wound up leading to an unfortunate incident in 2009 at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain: Williams had taken a cocktail of Valium and ecstasy and had a meltdown on stage, fighting with his drummer and the crowd before ending the show and canceling the rest of the band's European tour. What some thought at the time a cautionary tale of a young musician getting too much hype too soon turned out to be a turning point for Williams and for his musical project. Instead of devolving and letting his issues consume him, he started taking his work and his music more seriously, and doubled down on his efforts.
Following the public meltdown and subsequent loss of his drummer, he re-formed the backing band with the late Jay Reatard's former band; drummer Billy Hayes and bassist Stephen Pope. Together they took their newly formed lineup out of the bedroom and into an actual hi-fi studio, and along with producer Dennis Herring recorded some of their best material to date, 2010's King of the Beach. With it came a departure from most of the lo-fi fuzz and snotty skate-punk of their previous efforts -- now, Wavves had evolved their sound to include more accessible surf-pop gems alongside some dense psychedelic and occasional synth based songs.
Recommended Event: Bowie Bash at the EMP {10/12}
YOU GUYS. The EMP is pulling out all the stops this month with 31 Days of Halloween events, and the big costume party this year is ALL ABOUT BOWIE! In order to celebrate David Bowie's induciton into the Science Fiction and Fantasty Hall of Fame, they're throwing a Bowie Invades: Fashionably Undead Bash this Saturday, 10/12!
There will be a costume contest, VAIN will be on hand to apply horror- or Bowie-themed makeup and hair, The Band Who Fell to Earth will be playing Bowie covers, and drinks (of course!) AND AND AND you get to wander around the whole museum and check out the exhibits, which includes Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film (psst: There's a new addition! The SCREAM mask!!!), Icons of Science Fiction, and Fantasy: Worlds of Myth and Magic -- where you can see Bowie's costume from Labyrinth.
I went last year and had the most fun EVER, so I highly recommend. It's a party that's worth the $20 ticket price, for sure. And make sure you check out all the other rad October-y things happening every day this month too! For example, spooky scavenger hunts on Tuesdays, gaming on the big screen on Wednesdays, creature features screenings on Thursdays, social media contests on Fridays (follow @EMPMuseum to join in!) and awesome events on Saturdays, like this Bowie Bash and next week's upcoming Carrie Dunk Tank!

Weeknight Show Roulette: Jacco Gardner at Barboza {this Wednesday, 10/9}
Sometimes, your friends are all, "You wanna go to a psychedelic show next week?" and the only way to answer is with an all-caps YES. And then you dig through the Imaginary Inbox (a real thing!) to see if you can find any intel on a dude named Jacco Gardner coming to Barboza, and you check out the video to see what you just signed yourself up for. And it turns out, you made a good call.*
The structure of Gardner's music is primarily a one-man show, layer after layer of tracks set just right. The sound itself is modern psychedelic, and by "modern" I don't mean mod-sounding, I mean a totally legit take on the quintessential sixties vibe that sounds current and throwback all at once -- somewhere between how Joni Mitchell's Blue is utterly timeless, and how those real-deal roots musicians put factory-spun stomp-and-clap bands to shame. At first glance, the new album (Cabinet of Curiosities) kind of sounds like Cloud War minus the XTC vibe, spliced with some Liam Finn and a boatload of hallucinogens, with gorgeous choral melodies and a whole lotta harpsichord. And the song from the video above, "End of August," makes me want to put on big headphones in the middle of a field somewhere in an overstuffed armchair -- maybe with a crocheted blanket? -- so I have a squishy front-row seat to trip out in, while I watch summer fade.
Recommended viewing: gory awesomeness at Grand Illusion Cinema this month!
YES. It's October! And that means lots of lots of horror movies screening around town. I'm particularly excited for Grand Illusion Cinema's gory programming, which kicks off this weekend with some Italian horror and Grindhouse magic.
Gorgeous 35mm and 16mm prints, a small, intimate setting, and some cheap popcorn! IMHO, there's no better way to see these films. $12 gets you a seat, and your money goes to a great, local, independent theater.
Here's what I'm most excited about, but there are horrific screenings almost every night, so check their site for the full schedule!
Saturday October 5, 8pm
Portland's Grindhouse Film Festival Presents 35mm Exploitation Mayhem! Organizer Dan Halsted will be in attendance.
The Grindhouse Trailer Spectacular
Featuring 65 minutes of amazing grind house trailers from the '60s and '70s, including Italian horror, blaxploitation, hicksploitation, sexploitation, kung fu insanity, revenge films and more! I didn't even know some of those 'sploitations were a thing. You learn something new every day, huh?
Gates of Hell (aka: The City of the Living Dead)
A surreal masterpiece by Italian horror-master Lucio Fulci, which I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT. Rotting dead feasting on the living! Intestines everywhere! A creeptastic soundtrack! And my personal favorite: THE HEAD DRILLING SCENE.
Latest comment by: Ben Nason: "Maniac Cop 2 is even better than Maniac Cop; you've also got some Robert Davi up in that flame fueled insanity."
Don't miss: Laura Veirs at the Tractor {tonight!}
Okay, so, there's seriously at least a dozen places to go tonight in town tonight. Fiona Apple is at Benaroya, Mark Pickerel and his Praying Hands are doing a set at Easy Street (for free! 8pm), Dave Chappelle is at the Moore, Fox and the Law have their album release at Neumos, Dug is going down at Lo-Fi... and while they'll all be great shows, I'm putting my bet on Laura Veirs and Karl Blau at the Tractor.
"Sun Song," my favorite track off of Veirs' most recent release Warp & Weft, strikes a very specific chord with me as a now-resident of the Pacific Northwest: her bell-like vocals wrap long arms around the cities I know and love, when the warmth finally wins out over the mossy bones, string-plucks celebrating the first rays of sun breaking through they grey skies.
And to speak to the entirety of Warp & Weft, from her bio:
Beautiful, lush and at times deeply dark, "Warp and Weft" captures the intensity of motherhood, love and violence. Primarily electric-guitar driven, it is a fever dream of an album and could well be Veirs' best work to date... Veirs was eight months pregnant with her second child during the recording; she says her experience as a mother brought about some of the more beautiful and painful songs. "I'm haunted by the idea that something terrible could happen to my kids but that fear pushes me to embrace the moment. This record is an exploration of extremes – deep, dark suffering and intense, compassionate love."
Add in opener Karl Blau and you've got a recipe for a near-perfect night of northwest music. Feel all those from-here feelings in real-time tonight at the Tractor: the 21-and-up party gets started at 9:30pm, advance tickets are $15 and available here.
Recommended Show: A benefit for The Glamour and the Squalor at EMP with Sean Nelson, The Young Evils & more {10/11}
The Glamour and the Squalor is a project I've been excited about from the beginning: a kick-ass documentary about a kick-ass guy, Marco Collins, covering both his impact on the music world AND its impact on him. Just in case you weren't listening to KNDD 107.7 The End in the 90s, Marco was the DJ who broke a bunch of amazing bands on the air waves, including Beck, Weezer, The Presidents of the United States, Foo Fighters, and some band featuring Ben Gibbard. Oh, and he's also been inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! NBD, you guys.
Anywy! TG&TS is SO close to being done, but they still need to raise a bit more cash to make a release happen. So they are brilliantly throwing a benefit concert at the EMP next Friday, October 11! And the line-up (curated by Marco, of course) is kind of insane, y'all:
Sean Nelson!
The Young Evils!
(!!! my current lady-crush) Mary Lambert!
Nacho Picasso!
Ra Scion & Daniel Blue (motopony)!
Tilson XO!
DJ Action Jackson (from Fly Moon Royalty)!
So basically you get to rock out to a bunch of amazing Seattle bands, AND you'll get to see clips from the film presented by Director Mark Evans, AND you get to help this rad film get completed. Tickets are $35 and include 1 drink, or you can spend $100 for the VIP treatment, which inludes a meet-and-greet with Marco, the filmmakers, and the artists playing & 3 drinks.
These things are gonna sell out fast, my friends. So get your tix now! And I'll see you there.
{The Glamour and the Squalor Benefit Concert | EMP Museum | Friday, October 11 | 7pm Doors | $35 GA, $100 VIP | Tickets available online through EventBrite}
Recommended Show: Peter Hook & The Light at Neumos {9/25}
My New Order fangirl heart is exploding all over the place because the 10th Annual Decibel Fest kicks off tomorrow night, and one of the showcases is Factory Pop, and that means PETER HOOK is playing!!! And not just playing, but playing the whole of Power, Corruption & Lies, along with New Order's debut album, Movement.
I can't even. I just. I mean. THIS IS AMAZING. Anyway, incredibly, there are still tickets left. So you better get yours now!
Also amazing, this video from Jimmy Fallon of Peter Hook playing "Love Will Tear Us Apart" with The Roots! The. Roots.
Though I'm most excited about New Order nostaglia, check out the rest of the Decibel Fest lineup too, which includes the awesome Sub Pop 25 showcase at the Showbox 9/25, featuring Shabazz Palaces, The Helio Sequence, TheeSatisfaction, and Kingdom Crumbs. And also Moby! And Lorde (who I feel like everybody is talking about right now)! And a whole bunch of other great performers!
{Peter Hook & The Light (11:15pm-1:25am) with ADULT. (10-11pm) + Nightmare Fortress (9pm-9:45pm) | Neumos | Wednesday September 25 | $30 DAY OFF | 9PM // 21+}
Latest comment by: Imaginary Amie: "He is playing BASS and singing, but I heard he hates singing and was trying to get Moby to sing more. :) And yes, Moby was doing a very good Ian Curtis impression, both in dance and tone of voice. "
Don't miss: Father John Misty at the Moore {10/6}
Weed, shows, cruise ships, guns, visits to Santa, long drives, pirouettes, cigarettes, meaningful glances, hotel hallways -- who can provide such an ADD-esque (yet totally cohesive) snapshot of his life into a three minute and fifty-eight second video?
Father John Fucking Misty, that's who.
"This is where I fell over the other night."
The most DIY of FJM's video releases to date, "I'm Writing a Novel" hits our radar oh-so-fittingly, just as a stripped-down solo tour is getting underway. With such a penchant for stage antics, it will be downright fascinating to see what Josh Tillman's one-man act brings -- we have the feeling that his creative power / persona will manifest both through his gorgeous, bell-like vocals and levity-laden delivery, with just enough shaman-tinged-Laurel-Canyon vibe to remain decidedly Father John. (Even without the now-trademark "Hollywood Forever Cemetary Sings" full-blast freakout.)
Here's some supporting evidence:
"I don't need any new friends / 'cause I'm the mayor"
In case you've missed our love for FJM since last year's release of Fear Fun, pop on over here to catch up. Local and national dates below:
Oct. 03 - San Francisco, CA - Slims
Oct. 06 - Seattle, WA - The Moore Theatre {info / tickets}
Oct. 07 - Portland, OR - Aladdin Theatre

Is it the weekend yet? Bumbershoot 2013 is almost here!
THEESatisfaction, Bumbershoot 2012
With the excitement of Bumbershoot's approach comes that sad-trombone realization that summer is coming to a close (seriously you guys, LABOR DAY ALREADY?) and in this year's case, a particularly mighty and sunny Seattle summer at that. But really, what better way to spend it than a breezy weekend down at Seattle Center, taking in bands and art and comedy and panels and everything that this year's festival has to offer?
There's so much great programming at Bumbershoot that it seems literally impossible to get to All Of The Things that one wants to see -- and with that said, here are each day's absolute can't-miss non-negotiables on my music schedule this year:
Charles Bradley, Bumbershoot 2011
Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires {Saturday}
Seriously. Between 2011's No Time for Dreaming and this year's Victim of Love, Saturday's sets are sure to be jam-packed with that new-classic soul feel that Charles does so well. To quote the emoting that shot forth when the "Strictly Reserved for You" video came out: this man isn't just a performer, he is a literal force -- and he'll give you that capitalized Experience we all hope for at a show. Fuck it, I'm calling it now: Charles Bradley's set is going to be my Ultimate Festival Moment (tied with the Death Cab set, natch, but we'll get to that in a minute). Lucikly, you'll have two chances to partake in the bliss, as Charles and the Extraordinaires will be doing their main set on the Starbucks Stage on Saturday at 8pm, and if you were lucky enough to get a ticket, you can double-dip with a performance earlier that day for KEXP.
Speaking of, can we take a minute to talk about KEXP's Bumbershoot Lounge? Their series of in-studios are almost like a fest within the fest, with excellent crowd control and icy air conditioning. The station has lined up Thao and the Get Down Stay Down {Saturday}, Charles Bradley {Saturday}, Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside {Sunday}, Bob Mould {Sunday}, Superchunk {Monday} -- and that's just a fraction of the performers. The full schedule of bands is on the KEXP site here, but if you aren't already signed up for a seat, you're shit out of luck. Sorry. (We'll be sure to post pictures for you next week, promise!)
Other heavy hitters for Saturday: Thao and the Get Down Stay Down {Fountain Lawn Stage, 3:30pm}, !!! {TuneIn Stage, 6:15pm}, Washed Out {Fountain Lawn Stage, 9pm}, Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside {Plaza Stage, 9:30pm}, Heart {Mainstage, 9:45pm}
Death Cab for Cutie {Sunday}
As stated above, this one will be a tie for Ultimate Festival Moment, no contest. Transatlanticism start to finish = heart-explosion of monumental proportions. There's not even anything I can say about it besides (1) HOLY SHIT, it's been ten years?? and (2) see you in the front row. Mainstage, Sunday night, 9:45pm. Earlier on Sunday, the Words and Ideas Stage will host a panel at high noon, with a conversation about Barsuk Records (and their 15th anniversary!) with none other than Josh Rosenfeld, Sean Nelson, John Roderick, and David Bazan at the helm.
There's plenty to do in-between these Barsuk-y bookends on Sunday, specifically: The Redwood Plan {12:15pm, Fountain Lawn Stage}, Ramona Falls {12:45pm, Fountain Lawn Stage}, Tegan and Sara {2pm, Mainstage}, David Bazan {3:30pm, Fountain Lawn Stage}, Katie Kate {4:30pm, TuneIn Stage}, The Comettes {5pm, Plaza Stage}, Mates of State {5:15pm, Fountain Lawn Stage}, Bob Mould {6:15pm, TuneIn Stage}, The Grizzled Mighty {6:30pm, Plaza Stage}, The Breeders {8pm, TuneIn Stage}, The Zombies {8:15pm, Starbucks Stage}, Matt and Kim {10pm, TuneIn Stage}
Bumbershoot personal pan preview 2013: Saturday & Sunday
I am going to tell you what I know about this year's Bumbershoot line up for its full three days -- fortunately, it's a great year and there's almost too much to chat about! Thus, I'll be breaking it down in parts. And I know a little bit about a lot of things, and parts of things (I keep them in my drawers). But there are some other things that I don't know that much about so will either leave them out... or, take completely random and perhaps inappropriate wild-ass swings at previewing them! So, without further ado:
Things I wanna wanna do on Saturday, 8/31:
Dave B (12:30 p.m., Fountain Lawn Stage)
Sometimes a fella or boo just wants to jam it. Doesn't want to hear about the economy, doesn't want to hear a bunch of threats or emotional larceny, doesn't need some drizzling "profound" sound effects in ponderous drip-hop mode, but merely wants to hit the beach or dance on the bleachers at a sports afterparty. Bumbershoot kicks out with recent Sound Off! wildcard winner Dave B, who didn't hit me when I first heard him a while back. But then he slayed us all sweetly at the Capitol Hill Block Party (his happily pureandtrue hip-hop set was a high point), and I'm primed for this live flesh follow up of his freshness. Gotta get his long-been-out The Coffee EP pronto.
Mike Vecchione and Marc Maron (1 p.m., Comedy at the Playhouse)
Always take in a Marc Maron joint. He can be as nasty as he wants to be and still plays nice with others. I probably don't have to hype this too much, and Marc performs throughout the festival, this is just the first shot and I thought I'd mention it. He reminds me of my father-in-law if the dude was as well-read and more neurotic like me, which I guess says a lot about my wife. Anyways, when you think of Marc Maron, think of Californication if it starred a comedian.
Nacho Picasso (1:15 p.m., TuneIn Stage)
XXL and Vibe love him now, but that's not why you need to get involved. There's a Cubist antagonism to NP's rants, tucked inside a city at the end of an all night rampage epilogue feel. It's dark, it's art, it's trap, and for regional rap it seems neither grotesquely falsely humble or hive-minded deluded about who's really cutting the checks and getting the minstrel spotlight.
Down North (2 p.m., Plaza Stage)
One of the most underrated bands in the Pacific NW, Down North is tough enough to be jam-it Afro-punk, stylish enough to buy your lady a drink with a smile you just gotta forgive, soulful enough to bring the spirit of Michael Jackson into your neighborhood church, and born to make you bounce into the crowd. What I love about them the most is that I could totally see them kicking ass in an East Coast club between sets of no wave bands and noise units, bringing the heat and the heart to the art school scene. Yes, they're that smart and that on fire.
Seattle Arts & Lectures presents The Lunchbox Project Live: Literary Pleasures and Musical Shenanigans (4 p.m., Words & Ideas Stage) vs. Kendrick Lamar (same time, Mainstage)
Okay, because I was obsessed with DMX too I will probably be at Kendrick to hear more and say I was there. I hear he was part of someone else's song and apparently named some names, something that never, ever happens in rap! Otherwise, if Down North drenched me in dance sweat, I will be seeing a bunch of word scribblers yammer about stuff I'm into while it's still light out.
How Was Your Week? with guest Ted Leo (4:45 p.m., Comedy at the Bagley)
Ted Leo is a man I really want to see interviewed live, and this podcast conducts great interviews. Ted Leo. Damn! So many things I want to ask him. I might take this one over, wrestling the mic from Julie Klausner (nah, I'm sure she'll do fine. But if there's a chance for audience questions, be ready lady!)
The Physics (5:15 p.m., Fountain Lawn Stage)
Keep up with The Physics. That's what they say. They slyly subvert a lot of their contemporaries with lyrical surprises, nuanced rhythms, and choice samples. It's been "next big thing" yap for years but it really should happen.
Fantagraphics Follies (6 p.m., Words & Ideas Stage)
One-time maniacal punk music manager and now publishing maven Larry Reid hosts this roiling ode to the mightiest publisher alive, with talents like sublime graphic novelist Ellen Forney (Marbles, The Stranger), completely mesmerizing fine artist Jim Woodring (Jim and Frank and many other books), indie comics comedian Kelly Froh, and others entertaining us in weird and wonderful ways. Special happenings: Can You Imagine? plays! That's right, that girl group from comix-punk heaven lights down to light up the Words & Ideas stage! (Fantagraphics' own Peter Bagge plays drums for this sweetness.) This one will be packed out. Get in line on Friday, champs.
Weird & Awesome with Emmett Montgomery (7:00 p.m., Theatre Puget Sound Stage)
Emmett loves the strange, and wallows around in it with us comedically, but it's his humanistic touch, his gentle heart, his mindful awe that keeps his entertainments from seeming like a mere freak show. He always puts out a positive vibe even when things get Hunter Thompson-level "professional" (i.e., bonkers).
Gary Numan, (8 p.m., TuneIn Stage)
You might not believe this, if you only know him from his hits, but Gary is killer live. Yeah, I know, sometimes synth-based artists aren't that inspiring, just standing there singing like robots as they push some buttons. Gary was a rocker first, and has cultivated an impressive following of fans who have been buying his albums whenever he cares to release them, and bone up on the live boots and such as well. This isn't "new wave exploitation" by Bumbershoot by any means; Gary's a worker, and has been rocking audiences regularly for as long as you've been clapping your hands to that synth-drum beat in "Cars." I can't wait to see him play "Praying To The Aliens" and most especially "Down In The Park" live -- the latter song being a common cover by discerning, loving GM fans in bands all over the indie world.
Heart (9:45 p.m., Main Stage)
If you're a Seattle area kid of a good span of ages, you remember when they made the covers of magazines like Rolling Stone, spending many an incense-burning evening in a park listening to Dreamboat Annie etc. on your car stereo, turned up LOUD to seduce the minds of hicks from Eastern Washington. They've always rocked, and we've never not been proud of them. (Everyone gets a pass for 80s shoulder pads these days.) This show will be super powerful for anyone who has never caught Ann and Nancy soulfully putting their wild, witchy, loving talents out there for everyone to soak in. Do it. And for those who have caught 'em a few times as I have, we'll be back in the Black Velvet saddle again.
Latest comment by: Cameron Lowe: "Agree JC was a great show and thoroughly looking forward to next year already, do you know if they have decided upon dates yet? everyday fun for anyone http://www.online-pokies-australia.com just play or browse for fun"

A one-time cricketer gets into whites again, and lives to tell the tale
Sam Blackledge
March 25, 2012
Related Links
I am a journalist. I spend my days making phone calls, chasing stories, following tip-offs and generally making a nuisance of myself. It is an exhausting, exhilarating and all-consuming profession, leaving very little time for anything else. But last year I decided I needed a hobby, something to take my mind off the daily grind. So I joined my local cricket club.
As a teenager I was a decent player. From the age of about 12 I would go up against senior teams, men three times my age and twice my size, and every now and then my looping legspin would get the better of them. It certainly bamboozled my peers when I played for my school team.
I had tentative trials for Warwickshire but drifted away from the game as other interests took over - college, university, relationships and then the world of work. When the 2011 season started, more than ten years had passed since I last hung up my whites.
The first net sessions were eye-opening. Though my passion for cricket had remained strong since I stopped playing, I had forgotten about the senses of the game. The hot, sweaty smells of kit bags, the echoing acoustics of the indoor school, the weight of the bat, the hardness of the ball. Everything was alien, like relearning a language I had been listening to all along.
As a naturally shy person, banter has never been my strong point, and sports clubs are not the most welcoming environments for people like me. I decided fairly early on to keep my head down, concentrate on my cricket, and made half-hearted attempts at small talk whenever the need arose.
Quickly realising I no longer had the control to bowl leggies, I switched to offspin, although there was precious little spin as I struggled with my action when practice moved outdoors. As a schoolboy it took all my effort and concentration just to get the ball down the other end. But now taller, older and uglier, I was dishing up all sorts of rubbish, unable to find my radar or settle into a rhythm.
My first match came along soon enough, a friendly fixture for the Sunday team, and I was a bag of nerves as we fielded first. No matter how much you practise, nothing can prepare you for the moment when you are standing at mid-off and a ball is cracked in your direction. Time slows down and speeds up all at once. It's fight or flight. Every bit of my instinct was screaming: "Hard ball. Very fast. Get out of the way."
To simply move, of course, would spell disaster. Quite apart from conceding a boundary, I would have been marked out as a problem fielder, a weak link to be hidden away. All these thoughts were racing through my head when the ball slammed into my ankle, looped behind me and the batsmen scampered a single.
Over the next few months things got slightly easier. My first wicket came with a neat caught-behind in my second game, and I celebrated a bit too enthusiastically. I soon realised that no one really celebrates on Sundays. Towards the end of the season we arrived for a Sunday home game to find one of the opposition players warming up by running around the boundary. Our laidback captain looked on, incredulous. "What's he doing?" he spluttered. "It's Sunday."
|As a schoolboy it took all my effort and concentration just to get the ball down the other end. But now taller, older and uglier, I was dishing up all sorts of rubbish, unable to find my radar or settle into a rhythm
My bowling was improving in fits and starts, but batting was a different matter. I scored seven runs, with a top score of 5, at an average of 2.33. Chris Martin, eat your heart out.
Many cricketers claim that they can remember every shot, every run and every moment of their greatest innings. I never quite believed it, thinking the statistical detail of their autobiographies came not from memory but from carefully studying the pages of Wisden. Now I am beginning to catch on.
That glorious 5 - a career best - came in my only match for the Saturday second team. It was a warm afternoon, FA Cup final day, and we endured a crushing away defeat - conceding 278 and managing just 106 in reply. I came in at No. 10, with the game in its final throes, the opposition's two spinners bowling in tandem, and survived 27 balls before being caught at silly point.
It was great fun and summed up everything I love about the game. Nothing seemed to matter - the hopeless match situation, the fact I hardly knew which end of the bat to hold, the agonising cramp in my legs from 50 overs in the field - and yet it mattered more than anything else. I was in my own little world, battling my demons, playing a sport I cherish and that I had thought I would never play again.
After a couple more wickets, a shocking dropped catch and a fair bit of rain, the season ended. My statistics tell the story of an expensive part-time bowler and tail-end batsman with a tendency to get out clean-bowled. But my memories are of so much more than that.
I recently returned to winter nets ahead of the coming season. It is still awkward, terrifying and challenging. My bowling is slightly better, my batting seems to be getting worse. I still have trouble working up the courage to talk to anyone. But it's great fun. I'm doing it for my 12-year-old self. I think he would be proud.

The cricket world reacts to the passing away of Phillip Hughes
Phillip Hughes: Country kid who moved a nation
Likeable, hard-working and skilful, it was a matter of time before Phillip Hughes cemented his spot in the Australian Test team. Then, improbably and inconsolably, his time ran out
Hope for Hughes, feel for Abbott
It is impossible to imagine how Sean Abbott must feel after sending down that bouncer to Phillip Hughes. While the cricket world hopes for Hughes' recovery, it should also ensure Abbott is supported
November games need November prices
An early start to the international season, coupled with costly tickets, have kept the Australian public away from the cricket
People across the world paid tribute to Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who died on November 27, by putting out their bats
Phillip Hughes: Country kid who moved a nation (134)
Likeable, hard-working and skilful, it was a matter of time before Phillip Hughes cemented his spot in the Australian Test team. Then, improbably and inconsolably, his time ran out
November games need November prices (85)
An early start to the international season, coupled with costly tickets, have kept the Australian public away from the cricket
The inherent dangers of batting (43)
The sickening blow that struck Phillip Hughes is a reminder of the ever-present dangers associated with facing fast bowlers, even while wearing a helmet
Why the Indian opener would be well advised to shelve the hook and pull in Australia
Going out to play cricket today would have been near enough to impossible. Even doing so next week in the nets and at the Gabba for the first Test will be difficult

Of a rock and roll band I don't think this shit is appropriate Rittz – Fuck Swag
Two trey 8's, and one 45
Tryna get to 23, numbers game Common (Ft. Malik Yusef) – Nobody's Smiling
God flow, punchlines is whoopin' Satan ass Jon Connor – Take Off
Well last year they claim they ain't understand me Big KRIT – Mt. Olympus
She hate when I leave and I'm gone so I gotta make time to FaceTime on the phone Dizzy Wright – Nuttin Bout Me
I'm sorry but did I miss his "amazing" punchlines and double entendres? He said "You might have been to sea world / But have you really seen the world?" Which may be one of the corniest lines of the year lol. The verse was decent. Not anything to be amazed about though.
Styles and Jada killed this!
How is saying "shit done got crazy" intricate wordplay? It's a pretty basic line there. Yea, I get that you are trying to relate craziness to dementia but they aren't really the same thing… Insanity is not the same as dementia.
How y'all gonna leave GQ off this list? He's a dope emcee and played in North Carolina…
I don't think any of these are covers, just promo images. Rick Ross released a series of promo images for "Mastermind" before unveiling the actual covers.
But this is a bonus track only on the deluxe edition, not the regular album.
I'm no religious person, but I feel like he connects the sin of gluttony with the Last Supper in a religious context here.
I used this same picture in this annotation on this song already. Maybe you'd like to try to find a different one to avoid being repetitive?
Yea, that's the first thing I found when I looked up "low Caesar" as well.
I can help with this.

NASA Shot A Rocket Into The Northern Lights And It Was Astonishing
Keep doing what you're doing, NASA. It's incredible.
1. In the early morning hours of March 3rd, NASA shot a rocket into the sky from a research center in Poker Flat, Alaska.
2. The rocket was shot straight into the "Northern Lights," over northern Alaska.
3. The rocket traveled for 10 minutes through the heart of the Aurora.
4. The goal was for NASA to collect data to determine how certain structures form in the Aurora.
5. "The conditions were optimal," Marilia Samara, principal investigator for the mission, told NASA.
6. It's amazing what NASA can do from a small shed in northern Alaska.
7. Well done, team!

Southern rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em has displayed his respect and admiration for relatively young hip-hop veteran Bow Wow by describing his underrated status in the rap game.
Although Soulja Boy believes he has paved his own lane, the "Speakers Goin' Hammer" hitmaker paid homage to Bow Weezy.
"I definitely look at it like that, I know I opened a lot of doors but there's other people that opened a lot of doors that don't get the respect that they need," said Soulja. "Like Bow Wow, I feel like he opened a lot of doors and people don't never give him the respect that he deserve. Just everyone since the beginning of hip-hop, it just keeps going and somebody new come in." (RapFix)
In early November, Bow Wow revealed his internal feelings about having made a career in hip-hop.
"I swear i be wishing i was dead sometimes. Because i feel like that's the only way ill get peace.," Bow tweeted Saturday (November 6).
"People don't know me man. Yall don't … start looking at Shad. Not Bow wow. F*ck Bow. I go through sh*t daily. I'm Just like yall"
"I sacrificed my life for this Hip Hop sh*t. I put my "REAL" life on hold. If i could do it over…. I wudda went to school. Got me a reg job." (Bow Wow's Twitter)
After the tweets made headlines, Slim Thug shared his shocked reaction to Bow Wow's feelings.
"I'm nowhere near Lil Wayne or T.I. with success but I feel so blessed and successful to be where I'm at," Slim said in aninterview. "So I never felt like I wish I was dead. Bow Wow is trippin' and he need to shake whatever that is off and understand he blessed. He got a lot of success. At the end of the day this n*gga made hits and he got songs I like. He need to be proud of whatever the f*ck he did and shake that sh*t and don't ever say no sh*t like that again. For real that's real sh*t right there." (XXL Mag)
In an interview prior to the tweets, Bow Wow talked about his upcoming untitled Cash Money Records debut being a controversial LP.
"This album will be my most personal and probably most controversial because of the title," Bow said in an interview. "Some might hate on it, but it's true. It's going to make people understand why I'm feeling like that. I haven't announced the title, but I pretty much have it confirmed in my head…There's a certain perception of me. But I'm ready to open up and give the world all of me. I had to sacrifice acting up an image that I never wanted in the first place, and I did it because it was the only situation that was going to put my mother in the right place and take care of my family. But it doesn't feel good doing sh*t that you don't really feel good about. I never felt like I could be me. Now, I'm ready to say if you don't like it, than you don't like me." (VIBE)

Doctor of Chiropractic Stacy Cohen founded First State Health & Wellness shortly after he received his degree from New York Chiropractic College in 1984. Since then, his center has expanded to six locations and welcomed aboard 12 other chiropractic physicians.
Each location features traditional adjustment techniques and Activator tools that rapidly and gently prod trouble spots. A few locations feature specialty techniques such as the Newark location's high-tech subluxation scanning and the Wilmington location's adjustable Thompson Terminal Point table made up of several different cushions that help it morph into an even more therapeutic surface: a ping-pong table.
Dr. Cohen and his staff complement their chiropractic touch with acupuncture, massage, and nutritional counseling services, which are overseen by the center's own licensed acupuncturists and certified massage therapists. Together, the team's collective efforts have been awarded The News Journal's Reader's Choice Award for Best Chiropractic Office in 2010, 2011, and 2012, as well as the BBB's Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2003 and 2009.
Located right near the Pennsylvania-Delaware border, Devon Esthetique's skincare services are so customized they're not even listed on the website. That's because owner Devon Tucker-Kirk, whose own complexion has thrown her a few curveballs, knows firsthand how different everyone's skin is. Aestheticians analyze and diagnose skin types before consulting with clients to create a custom facial with medical- and pharmaceutical-grade products instead of leftover soy-sauce packets. Their aim differs slightly from the typical wellness center: aestheticians seek to provide results first and relaxation second, helping to send a clear message to acne and eczema. The earth-toned wellness studio also pops with colorful floral pillows, which cushion stainless steel, airless jet pedicure chairs as visitors have nails buffed and polished to a perfect sheen before accessing the complimentary healthy snack bar.
Effective hair- and skincare requires two things: talented, well-trained beauty professionals and quality products. Elayne James Salon and Spa, named in Salon Today's list for 200 of the country's fastest growing salons, thrives with a staff of Redken- and Wella-trained hairstylists who wield French-made herbal formulas from Privé as they cut, color, and style strands. They also lengthen short 'dos with Italian SoCap hair extensions, block frizz with a keratin smoothing system, and scare strands straight with barks from a drill sergeant. The salon's aestheticians use preservative-free A Natural Difference skincare products to cleanse and exfoliate skin during facials, microdermabrasion treatments, and red-light-therapy sessions. Beyond hair and skin, Elayne James's service menu includes indulgent Swedish and deep-tissue massages, mani-pedis, and waxing.
Dr. Thomas Neef works to help patients avoid surgery while still achieving their personal aesthetic goals. By avoiding scalpels and sutures, the team at Advanced Skin Care Center and Medspa delivers rejuvenation without downtime and scars. Instead, their instruments of choice include lasers that zap body hair, spider veins, and fine lines instead of burning CDs for mediocre barbershop quartets. In the treatment rooms, light-therapy devices help reduce hyperpigmentation.
Additionally, Dr. Neef's office offers a permanent makeup expert Lynda Wilson. Through Permanent Makeup by Lynda, she applies permanent eyeliner, eyebrows, and lipliner, full lip makeup, or beauty marks. Having been in the beauty industry since 1976, Lynda is licensed and insured, and serves as President of the State of Delaware Board of Cosmetology.
Voted best men's barber and salon by the readers of Delaware Today in 2012 and 2014, Studio One Eleven surrounds fellas in relaxing, masculine ambiance while polishing handsome exteriors. Haircuts, coloring services, and dandruff-fighting scalp treatments keep dapper Dans looking even dapperer, and waxing streamlines chests for pool season or removes chest-clinging koalas for sweltering summer months. Spa services such as massages and facials melt away stress while keeping skin supple with essential oils and moisturizing emollients. The studio's focus on luxury extends beyond specific services, with complimentary chair massages during every visit, free hairdo touchups between scheduled visits, and an onsite putting green to practice shots while waiting for appointments.
Videll's Day Spa's eponymous massage therapist, Videll Long, oversees a staff of professional aestheticians, nail techs, and massage therapists who work together to break new ground in beauty and relaxation. Private rooms replete with plush chairs and pillowy massage tables serve as the background to services such as facials, mani-pedis, waxing, massages, and microphototherapy treatments that tighten and tone skin to reduce age spots. Whether treating patrons one-on-one or alongside friends at group parties, the spa's specialists pamper bodies with products from top brands such as Dr. Hauschka Skin Care and Dermalogica.

In the following digitized book, there is a compelling case for Harriet Burnham.

HISTORY of the TOWN OF DURHAM NEW HAMPSHIRE
(Oyster River Plantation)
By EVERETT S. STACKPOLE and WINTHROP S. MESERVE
Alfred Pinkham, son of Daniel and Sally (Davis), grandson of
Daniel, was born 21 May 1810. He had brothers, William,
Joseph, Charles, Hicks, Salmon and Stephen, and sisters, Fanny
and Nancy. He married, 1831, Harriet Burnham of Newmarket,
who died 14 Jan. 1885.
Frances J. b. 27 Sept. 1833; m. 2 July 1853, Jonas Willey.
Stephen b. 23 April 1835; d. 13 Feb. 1861.
Alfred b. 14 Aug. 1836; d. 23 Aug. 1842.
Alphonso b. 7 Oct. 1838; m. Mehitable Jane Palmer; d. 28 Aug. 1863 in United States Volunteer service.
Ann Augusta b. 19 Aug. 1840; m. Luke Vibbert; d. 18 Nov. 1866.
Harriet b. 10 Aug. 1842; m. Pulsifer.
Joshua b. 12 March 1844; soldier in the Civil War.
Sarah b. 7 May 1846; m. James B. Palmer.
RoscOE b. 14 April 1848.
Esther M. b. 3 July 1850; m. fi) Alfred Davis, (2) Samuel Teri.
Friend b. 19 March 1852; d. 27 Aug. 1855.
Lycurgus b. 26 July 1854; d. 22 Aug. 1855
Friend b. m. and 1. in Durham.
I am still trying to track down Jonas M. Willey, but there is some confusion. My current working hypothesis is Jonas M. Willey was born in February 1833 in New Durham, NH and died on October 19, 1862 (Civil War) in Groton, CT. I further am looking to corroborate that he was son of Benjamin M. Willey and Mary H. Davis.

Customer reviews
By Nigel Leach 15 Aug 2013
Excellent general cook book, with useful tips between chapters. Good new and varied recipes, most of which don't reqire special trips to the shops for their strange ingredients! In short, a very good buy.
Review quote
This is an unexpected breath of fresh air... He's ditched the showing off and gone back to basics. The book is written in a matter-of-fact, unpatronising style, but his years of knowledge shine through on every page. He covers everything, from the fundamentals of kitchen kit and how to season a pan, to tips that even experienced cooks might not know... All in all, a long overdue correction to the sweary, shouty, cheffy image. Daily Mail
