Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper pioneered shock rock in the 1970s by murdering chickens and staging fake executions onstage. Marilyn Manson took up the mantle in the 1990s with his industrial-metal songs full of drug references, anti-religion messages and — my favorite — the obviously false rumor that he had one of his ribs removed so he could suck his own dick. Today, neither performer's shtick seems especially scary, but they both still have plenty of devotees. The two have wisely linked up this summer for the Masters of Madness Tour. Prediction: lots of black T-shirts, eye makeup and people on Ecstasy.
Thursday, June 27, at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater (633 North 130th Street, Bonner Springs, 913-721-3400)
Athens, Georgia's Futurebirds is a stoner-friendly kind of alt-country band: lots of noodling, reverb, open jams, and usually a pedal steel crying in the back of the mix. At Middle of the Map, the group covered "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak; I always kind of liked that song, but I think I like it more now. Nashville's Diarrhea Planet is enjoying some blog hype at the moment for its fiery live shows. The group plays ragged pop-punk that's not quite as ugly as its name suggests; underneath all the squalor are hooks and melodies. With Spirit Is the Spirit.
Tuesday, July 2, at the Riot Room (4048 Broadway, 816-442-8179)
Imagine Dragons
Few bands in recent memory have exploded as quickly and as thoroughly as Imagine Dragons, an alt-rock act that you possibly are hearing about for the first time. Selling a million copies of a record is a pretty rare feat in this day and age, but the Las Vegas group's 2012 debut album, Night Visions, went platinum last week. How? Imagine Dragons plays it pretty savvy with the influences. Its big hit, "Radioactive," is like a Coldplay song with faint dubstep mannerisms. Its other big hit, "It's Time," transitions from Mumford stomps into Killers-style synth pop. The album may as well have been created in a payola radio laboratory, but I've heard far worse on modern rock dials.
Friday, June 28, at Starlight Theatre (4600 Starlight Road, 816-363-7827)
Tree Frog
In the 1970s, Tree Frog was a popular
Lawrence-based, country-rock band with a sound similar to the Flying Burrito Brothers; the Byrds; and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Tree Frog toured nationally, had some regional success, but never got signed and was kaput by the time Reagan entered office. But the members (only one of them still lives in Lawrence) reunite every couple of years and play a show for the old fans. This is one of those shows.
Saturday, June 29, at Liberty Hall (644 Massachusetts, Lawrence, 785-749-1972)
Alejandro Escovedo, with Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys
It's possible that Alejandro Escovedo is such a cool dude, he's tight with scene musicians in dozens of towns in the United States. But it's just as likely that the reason he comes up from Austin once or twice every year is because he likes KC's scene and the people in it more than those of other towns. Here, the roots-rock singer-songwriter is bringing along some big Latin names: Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys. That's un gran espectáculo! Muy bueno!
Saturday, June 29, at Knuckleheads Saloon (2715 Rochester, 816-483-1456)
James McMurtry, with the Bottle Rockets
The son of novelist Larry McMurtry, singer-songwriter James McMurtry has inherited his father's gift for storytelling; the eye for detail and the ear for wordplay common to his Americana tunes are literary to the core. He's paired here with the Bottle Rockets, contemporaries of Uncle Tupelo and the Jayhawks in the early '90s Midwestern alt-country scene.
Wednesday, July 3, at Knuckleheads Saloon (2715 Rochester, 816-483-1456)
One upside of the implosion of the Kanrocksas Music Festival is that a lot of the bands have rescheduled at various venues in town. This Grouplove show at the Power & Light District has the added bonus of being free. The band's bright-eyed indie pop is polished and melodic, like a glossier version of the first MGMT album. With Middle Class Rut and Robert DeLong.
Friday, June 28, at the KC Live Stage at the Power & Light District (14th Street and Grand, 816-842-1045)
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
A post-"Home" hit has proved elusive for this band of fake hippies. Perhaps they will land one on their new, self-titled album, out next month? We'll find out soon. In the meantime, Sharpe and his cronies are continuing to tour like mad and return to Crossroads for a Saturday evening of folk-inflected Sixties throwback tunes.
Saturday, June 29, at Crossroads KC at Grinders (417 East 18th Street, 785-749-3434)

Diversity Within The Veteran and Military Community
Stage: Active
There is a great deal of diversity within the the veteran and military community. For instance, the needs of WWII and Vietnam veterans and their families may be different than those of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families. What can transportation providers and transit agencies do to ensure that they are meeting the needs of all veterans, service members and their families? Are there generational differences that must be considered in reaching out and engaging with these communities? Are there some priorities that are consistent across the entire veteran and military community (i.e. access to jobs, accessto education, access to medical appointments) in regard to their transportation needs?

Reaching out to VFW centers and other locations where older veterans meet is an excellent way to reach those who may not have knowledge of local services available to them.

Kalyn's Kitchen Picks: Garofalo Whole Wheat Fusilli
11 comments:
Barbara, ordering from Amazon has worked well for me when I like a product and can't get it in Salt Lake.
Jana, I have had some whole wheat pasta that tasted like cardboard, but I love this. I think it has a great flavor, just slightly more wheaty tasting than white flour pasta.
Becky I find the spaghetti at Costco, but I get this one from Amazon.
Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!

Complaint Detail(s)
7/9/2013 |
Advertising/Sales Issues
Read Complaint Details
Additional NotesComplaint: I received a false advertisement from Stealthmachines claiming slashed prices on ALL of their computers when in fact they raised them. I received an email ad from Steathmachines that stated the following: "Stealth Machines has just slashed prices on ALL of our computers! Stop by our website today to see for yourself why Stealth Machines are the best computers money can buy. Visit https://www.stealthmachines.com today to take advantage of this special sale. Hurry, this sale won't last!". However when I went to the website to take advantage of the sale, not only were there no reduced PC prices but they had gone up significantly. The one PC I was looking at went up close to $400. I have been reviewing their website for the last two months in detail especially when it came to pricing. I was trying to decide between them and another vendor. When I finally made up my mind to go with Stealth Machines I got the email on slashed prices and immediately went to their website to take advantage of the sale. Instead of a sale I found that they had increased prices dramatically. They send out a fraudulent email about slashing prices when they really increased them. I can provide the sale email and their response to my complaint to them which did nothing to explain their price increases versus slashing of prices. Desired Settlement: I want the company to stop sending out sale notices for nonexistent sales. They should be held accoutable for the sales they advertise. Business Response: Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2013/06/18) */ The sale to which the potential customer is referring did in fact occur. However, the specific configuration which the potential customer saved was not affected by the sale. This is because there are literally hundreds of thousands of combinations of configurations, and therefore it is impossible for a change in prices to positively affect every single configuration which is saved in our catalog. While the sale did cut prices on every computer, it required that the customer selected individual parts which were affected by the sale. We attempted to resolve this issue by offering the customer a special discount, but it was not to this person's satisfaction. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2013/06/19) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) My specific configuration went up approximately $300 dollars. The standard (already configured) PCs also went up as well significantly. When I asked for this company to give me an example of a PC where the price was slashed they could not. The sale was a lie. Also the company DID NOT make any offer of a special discount whatsoever. Please have them provide proof of that claim. I received no such offer. This company is NOT trustworthy. I also have attached my emails with the company. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2013/06/21) */ As explained previously, there was a sale and the sale was not applicable to the customer's saved configuration. This customer is attempting to manipulate us into cutting him an unrealistic deal. We are not on trial, and are therefore not required to provide proof that the sale occurred. In fact, we reserve the right to refuse service. The customer's proposed solution is unrealistic and given that we are refusing service we do not feel an amicable solution could ever be reached. We attempted to resolve this several times in the past by offering the customer a discount, and he refused. BBB, please close this case as there is nothing more to be said here. |

Woman Caught in Gold Fish Net. Gold Vertical Price Explosion!
Davies - Gold Is Now Set Up For A Vertical Price Explosion Woman caught in fish net is troubling; but worth a look.
Eric King: "Ben, your call for the Japanese to enter the gold market was absolutely brilliant. You were the first one in the world to do that (make that call). That's become mainstream, so everyone is talking about this now, but you were way ahead of the curve on this."
Bend Davies: "Well, we did write about it a few years ago in a piece called, 'The World Monetary Earthquake, The Dash From Cash.' Also, 'Let's Say Gold Went To $13,000. We revisited it a few months ago, 'There Is A New Buyer Entering The Gold Market,' and it's definitely an ongoing theme. Obviously the Japanese are going to get religion like our investors, and they are going to start buying physical gold to protect themselves from what we see as an inevitable hyperinflation in Japan.
... We now know for certain how policy makers are going to respond to this crisis....
[It you per chance meet this woman caught in the fish net, please give her my regards... And perhaps your coat.]

China said on Thursday it would look into Defence Minster A.K. Antony's statement this week claiming that Chinese helicopters had entered into Indian airspace over Himachal Pradesh on at least two occasions in March.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Liu Weimin said Chinese authorities needed to verify his claims, but stressed that China wanted both sides to maintain peace and stability in border areas pending resolution of the long-running dispute.
"China's position on the border issue has been consistent and clear," he said. "We will continue to resolve the border issue through negotiation and consultations."
Mr. Liu said he had seen "relevant press reports" on Mr. Antony's written reply to the Rajya Sabha. "We still need to verify relevant information," he said.
Mr. Antony had said that two Chinese helicopters were observed flying over Indian airspace near the border in Himachal Pradesh on March 16. Another alleged intrusion was observed on March 19.
He played down the incidents, saying that incidents of transgressions were taken up with the Chinese authorities through established mechanisms including flag meetings, border personnel meetings and diplomatic channels.
In March, both countries held the first meeting of a newly set up border consultation and coordination mechanism in Beijing, during, which officials agreed to meet once or twice a year and hold, when needed, emergency consultations either through meetings or by telephone or video conferencing.
The mechanism, officials said, will boost exchanges between military personnel and reduce mistrust to avoid any incidents. The meeting also discussed confidence building measures on the boundary dispute, such as opening an alternate route for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra and additional items for border trade through the Nathu La Pass in Sikkim.
