The Space
The holdiay home "Il Nespolo" is an ideal place where one can relax and spend your holiday in a tranquil setting in contact with the sounds and smells of tuscan nature.
The house is situated in the heart of Chianti in a typical hamlet dating from the 1400's surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
In the vicinity are numerous towns of historical and cultural interest where one can visit as well as soaking up the spectacularly beautiful views of the country side.
The house is also only 25km from Florence and 35km from Siena.
The holdiay home "Il Nespolo" was built in the 1400's by the Parish of Campoli (dating from the 1000's) as a convent for the nuns.
In the beginning of the 1800's the house and the hamlet were transformed into civilian homes for the farmers who worked for the Parish.
In 2010 the property was completely renovated.
The house is split over two levels.
On the ground floor there is a spacious dining room with orginal open fireplace which can be utilised as a bbq and a large kitchen supplied with all the necessary utentils.
On the first floor there are two double bedroom,a bedroom with two single bed,the lounge and the bathroom with a box shower.
Outside there are two big porches where you can stay and relax and a private garden with bbq of 300 sq.m

Tommaso's place was just what we were looking for after a few weeks of travelling around; quiet, charming and relaxing. The house itself is centuries old, but it still has all you will need to move in, cook your meals and generally do little. There are plenty of walks in the neighbourhood and a lovely winery just down the road. Tommaso gave us unlimited advice on good restaurants and local tips, but we spent a lot of the time around the house just enjoying ourselves. One thing, the farmhouse isn't isolated; in the nature of Italian farming settlements, there a re a number of properties that originally huddled together for defence. You will have neighbours, but discreet and quiet neighbours who will not interfere in your relaxation
Tommaso not only has a great house with magnificent surroundings, but was helpful in everyway. He shared his garden with plums and zucchini . His home was very clean and comfortable . His restaurant suggestions were fantastic. We hope the return in the future to continue out Tuscany exploration .
Tommaso is a wonderful host and his house in Chianti is just perfect. Tommaso and his mother met us and were so patient and understanding of us as we were very late after misjudging the distance to drive and also getting a bit lost! They greeted us so warmly and gave us delicious home made biscotti / cantucchini and vin santo to enjoy. The house is a gorgeous old typical house of the chianti area, beautifully clean, warm, cosy and has all the facilities you could need. It's set in a small gathering of houses amongst the olive groves and vineyards. Amazingly peaceful and beautiful, and with some lovely walking in the hills nearby. The location is fantastic for exploring Chianti, we had a perfect stay and we were so sad to leave. Tommaso we will be back for sure!!
Warm welkom, Tommaso nam de tijd om met ons het huis door te lopen en ons welkom te laten voelen. Hij is een fijne gastheer.
Heel mooi, sfeervol en fijn huis. Plek in Toscane was ook perfect en vanuit sommige ramen hadden we een prachtig uitzicht. Buiten zitten onder de overkapping is ook gezellig.
Everything was just perfect. The way we were welcomed, the house and its charater, the location, the confort of the bed. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but you are actually close to everything. We did a day trip to Florence and San Gimiano and it was as easy as could be!
Thank you very much!
A lovely house in the Tuscan countryside, With three bedrooms, it was perfect for our family. An ideal place to visit Tuscany : Pisa, Firenze, Siena, Greve, San Gimignano... within 100km.
In December, evening by the fireplace in the living room was very confortable and relaxîng.
Tommaso's house is located in the heart of the Chianti country immersed in typical Tuscan countryside. It is a three-level historical building, part of a little hamlet, ideal for a family with two kids.
Tommaso gave us a lot of his time to meet us, take us to the house and provide indications on where to find good restaurants in the area, how to get to Florence and park there but also on how he grows organic food.
All in all a very good experience that I would sincerely recommend.
About the Host, Tommaso E Lauren
36 years old man, passione with nature, country and for the music. happy to show you our culture and beautiful places.

Reviewed by 3 customers
If you're looking for a quick & easy solution to underwater photos this is a great little camera. I have a Digital Pentax WG-2 also and this little Fuji is just as acceptable. I would highly recommend it.
Very easy to click and shoot underwater photos. Advancing the film was very easy in the water as well. I placed the cameras in my carry on bag to avoid heavy xrays during airport security. This has been known to ruin 35mm film pics, but mine came out clear.
Best price on the internet.

This invention relates to an umbrella of the disposable type and more particularly to an umbrella which may be quickly fabricated of inexpensive materials.
1. An umbrella comprising a combined handle and canopy support structure including four generally boomerang-shaped elements and an elastic and stretchable film canopy, two of said boomerang-shaped elements being hingedly connected to form a first set and two more of said boomerang-shaped elements being hingedly connected to form a second set, each of said boomerang-shaped elements including a canopy supporting boom portion and a handle portion, said two hinged connections being located along said handle portions, said canopy being secured to at least a portion of each of the four boom portions, said handle portions of the first set being in pressure contact with the handle portions of the second set under the influence of the tension forces in the canopy which is stretched when the umbrella is in open position with the boom portions angularly spaced from each other, three of the handle portions are identical and a fourth handle portion has a projecting margin which interfits with the V-shaped channel-like groove formed in the mating area of the first two hinged handle portions.
Prior to the instant invention, attempts have been made to produce disposable umbrellas and with some degree of success in that such attempts have included inexpensive materials and have included canopies and handles. However, these prior attempts do not have all the advantages of the construction in accordance with the instant invention.
It is an object of the instant invention to teach the construction of a disposable type umbrella wherein the canopy serves to bring together in interfitted relationship the handle parts which are relatively rigidly integral with the canopy support parts and hold same as if locked.
It is a further object of the instant invention to so form the integral handle parts and canopy support parts and assemble same with a relatively elastic canopy that during the setting up of the umbrella by movement of the handle parts the initially loose canopy is first stretched and then snapped into its final position by a toggle-like action.
Other objects and the nature and advantages of the instant invention will be apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a view in side elevation of the umbrella with the canopy furled;
FIG. 2 is a view principally in elevation and somewhat in perspective of an initial step in setting up the umbrella after the unfurling of the canopy;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 but with the setting up of the umbrella more advanced;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but with the setting up of the umbrella still more advanced;
FIG. 5 is a view in side elevation of the umbrella in opened position and ready for service;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged somewhat exaggerated horizontal cross-section of the umbrella handle position taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 5 and looking in the direction of the arrows;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the top of the umbrella illustrating the canopy as viewed from above;
FIG. 8 is a vertical cross-section of the umbrella taken along line 8--8 of FIG. 7 and looking in the direction of the arrows; and
FIG. 9 is a plan view of the underside of the umbrella illustrating the canopy as viewed from below.
Referring to the drawings, the umbrella 20 has for its principal parts a canopy 27 and a supporting structure comprising two discrete frame elements 21 and 22.
Each of the frame elements 21 and 22 comprise two generally boomerang-shaped elements hingedly connected together along the inner side 33 of the integral handle portions 25, 25, 25, 26. Each of the two generally boomerang-shaped elements also include two canopy supporting booms 24, 24, so that, when the umbrella is open, four booms 24, 24, 24, 24 support the canopy 27.
In FIG. 1, the umbrella is shown in closed position with the folded canopy 27, which is of flexible film material, wrapped about the four booms 24, 24, 24, 24 and held in place by a band 23 which may be a rubber band or strap.
When the band 23 is removed and the canopy 27 unfurled, each set of two booms 24, 24 may be spread apart somewhat as shown in FIG. 2. This spreading apart manipulation is accomplished by the user who holds handle portions 25, 25 in one hand and handle portions 25, 26 in the other hand in such a manner that the two boomerang-shaped elements are not touching each other and the very center of the canopy 27 hangs loose. In the position illustrated in FIG. 2, the canopy 27, which is secured to ends 34, 34, 34, 34 of the booms 24, 24, 24, 24 and which also may be secured to the tops or long edges of the booms, festoons freely between the booms.
As the handle portions 25, 25, and 25, 26 are rotated in the direction of the arrows shown in FIG. 2 to the position shown in FIG. 3 and then to the position in FIG. 4, the amplitude of the festoons decreases until it is almost zero and the peripheral margin of the canopy 27 is almost straight while the central portion of the canopy is still loose and the handle portions 25, 25, and 25, 26 are still not touching each other except as shown in FIG. 4 in which the upper ends 30 of the handle portions do not initiate engagement with each other.
When the rotation of the handle portions is continued, the canopy 27 stretches and the toggle-like action takes place forcing the handle portions 25, 25, into interfitted relationship and 25, and 26 together in the position illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 5 in which the central portion of the canopy 27, as well as the remainder of the canopy 27, is taut. This handle interfitting relationship is made by the projecting margin on handle portion 26 with the V-shaped channel-like groove formed in the mating area of the first two hinged handle portions 25, 25. The umbrella is now set up for use as protection against rain.
To collapse the umbrella, the setting up process is generally reversed. The handle portions are pulled apart at their lower ends with their upper ends in engagement. The canopy 27 will cease to be in stretched condition as the handle portions continue to be rotated in the opposite direction from that shown on the drawings. The canopy 27 will then begin to festoon and the handle portion 25 will fold over the handle portion 26 and a second handle portion will fold over the third handle portion 25. Thereafter the two boomerang-shaped elements are brought together in one over the other relationship and the canopy furled and banded as shown in FIG. 1.
The umbrella of the instant invention is made of simple and inexpensive materials. For example, the boomerang-shaped elements of elements 21 and 22 may be fabricated from corrugated paperboard or molded plastic such as injection molded thermoplastic. For example, the canopy 27 may be cut from elastic plastic film such as clear polyethylene film.
The umbrella of the instant invention is inexpensive to manufacture and may be considered for one time use or multiple time use.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification.

Union County girls basketball was very popular and successful in the 1970's, and for Ingomar, it was the play of Janet Doom-Jennings that had the Lady Falcons competing for a state title.
Jennings played for the Lady Falcons during their successful time in the 1970's, including a state championship in 1972. Playing for Norris Ashley in his early years at Ingomar, Jennings said she learned several life lessons from the long-time head coach.
"He came on the scene early in my high school career," she explained. "He was very easily embarrassed, and didn't tolerate any of that, but he was very mannerly and gentlemanly working with us girls. The biggest thing is that he expected us to work just as hard as the boys."
Jennings noted one experience in particular when the Lady Falcons traveled to Southaven, playing for North Half. Describing the team as being sheltered, she said that Coach Ashley kept the girls grounded and focused despite their excitement to play on such a big stage.
"He taught us so many things," she said. "Team work was the biggest thing, but also to never give up or play slow. Watch your opponent closely and learn from them. Play fair, but play hard."
Of course the rivalries within Union County were big, but there was another in particular that was equally as intense, as it also included the two coaches constantly going head-to-head off the court.
"Houlka was one of the biggest games every year," she said. "We had a good team every year and had success going to state, but it was a tough road to get there having to go against them every year."
"It was big not only on the court for us, but Coach Ashley and Coach (Guy) McDonald kept it competitive off the court. It was just an exciting rivalry."
After graduating from Ingomar, Jennings played at Northeast for two years and spent one year as a walk-on at Ole Miss. She later completed her studies in physical education, and she coached for one year at New Site. Settling down into married life, she opted to focus on working as a P.E. instructor, leaving the game of basketball.
"I have a passion working with the little kids," she sad. "I went into working with P.E. full time, just because I feel strongly for that program. It's challenging to find ways to keep those kids interested in different activities, and it was something I always loved working with."
Jennings was able to pass on her athletic ability to her older daughter Jana, who also played for the Lady Falcons, and she also has a younger daughter, who is currently a sophomore at Mississippi State.
"Having gone to and played at Ole Miss, I still remember the day when Casey asked if it was okay to go to State," she laughed. "She was so nervous, but after she asked, I was relieved that was all she wanted to talk about. I'm a proud parent and have no problem wearing either Ole Miss or MSU."
Looking at the current state of basketball at Ingomar, Jennings still enjoys keeping up with her former team, and is excited for the possibilities of the program under their new coach, Trent Adair.
"It should be very exciting with the girls having a new coach," she said. "This should motivate the team, and I hope to see them succeed."
Jennings is one of many former athletes that have made sports in Union County exciting to watch for decades, and it is people like her and the others I've had the chance to speak with this summer that give the current and future athletes something to look up to and accomplishments to strive for in their athletic careers.

|Related: GYPSY SISTERS, TLC
The Gypsy Sisters are back and still over-the-top in a two-hour season premiere on TLC tonight, August 21st at 9/8c. The third season chronicles more Stanley family drama as they navigate breakups, makeups and road trips, giving viewers a one-of-a-kind look at the jaw-dropping ways of the Infamous gypsy clan.
Coming off a tumultuous ending to last season, matriarch Nettie and her cousin Kayla aim to put the bad blood behind them and move on for the sake of their families. With their lives so intertwined, their ailing relationship takes a toll on the whole unit, and the other girls try to help patch things up for everyone. Kayla relies on the ladies as she struggles in her 17-year marriage to Richard, and her relationship with Nettie, although rocky, helps her get through these tough times.
Mellie, the group's self-proclaimed wild child, now has a child of her own which has calmed her partying ways, and her focus has changed from drama to providing a stable life for Richard. That doesn't stop her, though, from putting her nose in other people's business which gets her in trouble. Joann finally comes into her own, and after living with Nettie for a year, she feels she has her own voice and can fight for her family. Annie, after learning how to be a traditional gypsy wife, seems to have it all, but in typical gypsy style, there are always unexpected surprises.
Throughout this season of GYPSY SISTERS, follow the Stanley ladies as they take a road trip back to the horse races complete with a tricked out party bus and venture on an epic trip to New Orleans that leads to true gypsy Bourbon Street brawls. The family also celebrates birthdays for both baby Richards, and their moms Dallas and Mellie try to put their issues aside and make the day special for their sons. With Nettie's lupus in remission, she is focused on her health and uses her traditional gypsy remedies to live a healthier lifestyle. The season culminates with a beachside vow renewal ceremony, but in true gypsy fashion, everything is down to the wire and nothing is as it seems.
GYPSY SISTERS is produced by Firecracker Films for TLC.

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - March 11, 2014) - Great strides have been made to improve public health over the past century, such as the reduction over the past 50 years in the number of Americans smoking. Many of those great strides were bolstered by providing individuals with the information needed to make informed health decisions. With $1.6 million in funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the CDC Foundation is launching a new project that will use the best available data to inform and advance discussion about how laws and policies can assist people in making healthier choices.
Subject matter experts will work with federal partners to develop 10 to 15 evidence-based reports during the next three years to highlight the state of laws and policies related to specific topic areas within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Healthy People 2020 initiative. This effort will provide critically needed practical information to public health officials and associations, health-related industries, legal practitioners, non-profit organizations, policymakers, and individuals about the use of law and policy to address health factors. Within HHS, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is leading the effort with support from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"HHS is delighted to launch this Healthy People 2020 Law and Health Policy Project with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and CDC Foundation," said HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Howard K. Koh, M.D., M.P.H. "It will leverage the rich history and power of Healthy People 2020 to demonstrate how laws and evidence-based health policy can improve the health of our nation."
HHS' Healthy People 2020 is a set of goals and objectives with 10-year targets designed to guide national health promotion and disease prevention efforts aimed at improving the health of all people in the United States. Healthy People 2020 serves as a strategic management tool for the federal government, states, communities and many other public- and private-sector partners.
"To protect and improve health, law and policy evidence are crucial," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "Projects such as this will go a long way to help get us to our destination of a more healthy nation faster."
ODPHP will provide leadership and support for the development of the reports, while CDC will provide technical guidance on the development of specific reports and collaborate with public health partners and communities to promote knowledge and understanding of the reports. In addition to funding the effort, RWJF will provide public health law and policy expertise. The CDC Foundation will manage administration and implementation of the project and amplify the results to stakeholders through communications efforts.
"The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation believes that law and policy are important levers for building a culture of health in our nation," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "We're pleased to collaborate with leaders in public health and government to focus attention on policies based on the best science to help achieve the national health goals set out in Healthy People 2020 -- strategies that all states and communities can use to help people live healthier lives."
"We greatly appreciate the support the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is providing to increase understanding around the link between policy and healthier outcomes," said Charles Stokes, president and CEO of the CDC Foundation. "Public health law and policy can serve as valuable tools with wide-reaching benefits for everyone that can often decrease the need for other more costly and less effective interventions."

Recent Bethany Beach reviews
"We have stayed at this great beach house for 2 years. The 1st year it had just been renovated. The location is excellent. The screened in porch can't be beat. It's a great house to spend a week at the beach with a family including little kids."Guest: Kathy Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: February 19, 2015View listing
"Our extended family had a wonderful stay here while in Bethany Beach. The position of the condo in the complex offered magnificent sunset views and easy access to the clubhouse and pool area. Very nice complex overall. Great layout for families with plenty of room for everyone. We had a group of nine that included a baby and two toddlers and it worked perfectly. Complex is in a handy location with a small grocery store and a great fish market right up the street. Beach and boardwalk are not far and parking in the boardwalk area was easy. Thank you for a great stay and wonderful memories of Bethany Beach."Guest: Barbara O. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 16, 2015View listing
"This was our fifth time staying at Sea Colony and our first time staying in the Dover building. This unit was the nicest unit we rented. It was spacious, upgraded and had a lot of great amenities. We especially enjoyed the comfortable furniture on the balcony, the upgraded showers, the availability of wifi, the locker with the beach chairs, the large rooms and the spectacular view. The owner is very professional and was extremely responsive in answering questions that we had. We are looking forward to staying here again. We would highly recommend it!"Guest: Tracy F.

"We had a wonderful experience with this condo. The condo development was very nice, well-kept. The owners were great to deal with. The info provided before and during our vacation was extremely helpful. The condo was nice, clean and looked just like the pictures. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of space due to the layout. Information in regards to the condo, restaurants and Bethany (in general) were placed in areas that were easily seen. The views from the decks were beautiful. I especially liked the deck rocking chairs :) The TV/cable was not as user friendly as we would have liked but we managed. It's not an owner issue but a cable provider issue. The clubhouse/pool that we had access to (with a fee) was really nice. We used the pool almost every day. In summary, we had such a great experience over all and plan to rent again next year, but for a longer time."Guest: Leslie H. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 16, 2015View listing

Staff Lists
The Top 100 Tracks of 2009
By Pitchfork Staff , December 14, 2009
70. Discovery
"Orange Shirt"
I was a bigger fan than most of the Vampire Weekend/Ra Ra Riot offshoot Discovery, but if "Orange Shirt" is the one song that endures from their debut album LP, I'll live. It pretty much sums up all the best parts of the project anyway: the sparkling keyboard tones, the celebratory nods to the production and song structure of contemporary R&B, the sense of wide-eyed yearning in the vocals. And it even manages to hit on something that bugs people about multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij's main group: the ease in discussing details that betray a sense of privilege. "Sleep on the train to Tokyo/ Google yourself when you get home," goes the line that the whole song builds to, and it's a lyric that has fascinated me all year. A few people I've spoken to found the sentiment obnoxious, but to me the second half of this couplet captured perfectly the low-level digitally assisted narcissism of the current age. The Beach Boys wrote about the specs on that Little Honda, Q-Tip explained all about that Skypager; for a few seconds here during the climax of "Orange Shirt", this is our life, lovingly rendered in a punchy indie pop song. --Mark Richardson
69. Taylor Swift
"You Belong With Me"
[Big Machine]
Nobody much cared when Kanye West interrupted Justice and Simian at that awards show a few years back, but when he talked his shit to Taylor Swift at this year's VMAs, the PR apocalypse sent him crying to Jay Leno. There's a reason for that; Swift may be the most flat-out likable pop star to emerge in recent memory. Case in point: "You Belong With Me". Musically, the track finds some expert gazillion-dollar middle ground between simple, expressive assembly-line Nashville country and exploding-chorus Kelly Clarkson radio-pop. But Taylor's is-he-really-going-out-with-her narrative links the track to the most fragile, heartbroken strains of twee indie pop. --Tom Breihan
68. Röyksopp [ft. Robyn]
"The Girl and the Robot"
To paraphrase Rob Sheffield's line about a Replacements song, "The Girl and the Robot" finds Robyn pouring her heart out over Röyksopp's synthesizers after a long night of MTV. Against a disconcerted, increasingly frenetic electro-pop beat, a lonely Robyn cries out to an emotionally unresponsive workaholic lover, claiming, "you never seem to know when to stop" (hmm, is she dating Dr. Manhattan?). Eventually, she confesses that she "fell asleep again in front of MTV," which causes her to muse, "no one's singing songs for me." Like so many of Robyn's other great singles of recent vintage, "The Girl and the Robot" gives a post-modern sheen to old-school heartache. --Joshua Love
67. Arctic Monkeys
Some love doesn't know when it's lost. To Alex Turner, every woman he makes a moves on in every bar he visits is a placeholder for his ex, and every liaison comes to a crashing halt when he asks if he can call her by his former lover's name. Well, except for the one where Turner hooks up with his ex's sister, but that's the way love goes in Arctic Monkeyland. The central gimmick aside, the real pleasure is in the telling. The names of the pubs (the Rusty Hook, the Parrot's Beak), the broken arm on the girl fixing the smoke alarm, his love's scent on the seatbelt in the cab-- Turner doesn't spare a horny, heartbroken detail. And the band suggests that ballads may have been their hidden strength all along. Turner is lost in love, and you don't have much choice but to swoon along with him. --Joe Tangari
66. Julian Casablancas
"11th Dimension"
It's been nearly five years since the Strokes fumbled First Impressions of Earth, and while Julian Casablancas' solo debut couldn't quite conjure the glories of his band's heyday, "11th Dimension" shows he's still capable of writing a big hook and compellingly unintelligible lyrics. The song may or may not be about forgiving the haters and staying true to your artistic vision, but the words matter only insofar as they give one of the best rock vocalists of the decade something to sing. Musically, "11th Dimension" is the strongest he's sounded since Room on Fire. It's a blast of retro-futuristic synths, steam-rolling guitar licks, and slicing, dicing hi-hat, and the busy pulse of the production cuts through the detachment and manages to convey a sense of fun, as if he's finally enjoying the creative experience. --Stephen M. Deusner
65. The Tough Alliance
"A New Chance (The Juan MacLean Remix)"
[Sincerely Yours]
"I know a place where diamonds never fade away," sang Sweden's the Tough Alliance on the title track from their 2007 album A New Chance. Chances are, they weren't singing about the Internet, but the song turns out to be a nice example of the way that there's more to the culture of rip-burn-and-remix than accelerated buzz. Digitally released in 2008 and made more widely available a year later, the Juan MacLean's remix digs in for the long haul with eight minutes of New Order arpeggios, acid squelch, and rubber-knuckled piano-house chords, plus a lovely loop of Cocteau Twins-styled swooning. The vocals may scream 00s indie, but in every other aspect, MacLean's epic rework is a testament to the way pop music colors giddily outside the timelines. --Philip Sherburne
64. Annie
"Songs Remind Me of You"
[Smalltown Supersound]
Despite the awkward syntax of the title, "Songs Remind Me of You" finds Annie in tight control, sharpening her incalculable charm into the massive 1980s jam she had somehow never managed to tack onto her résumé. The cut reunites the canny Norwegian with British producer Richard X, architect of a boatload of UK dance pop hits in the last decade. While Annie may lack the go-getter appeal of some of the producer's collaborators like Gwen Stefani or Sophie Ellis-Bextor (on the contrary, Annie prefers to bask in timeless melodies and classic turns of phrase), the bitter lament of "Songs" reminds us that when she bares her soul, it's got fangs. --Mike Orme
63. Real Estate
"Fake Blues"
Though Real Estate have made it known that they're from New Jersey and they like a bit of geographic specificity, their music has a universality that's easy to rally around. These dudes have probably spent a summer or two pounding Busch Lights in the vicinity of a boardwalk, but with "Fake Blues", the boardwalk is the least important part of the equation. Like a shaggy house-party highlight, "Blues"'s simple, bright guitars and loping drums evoke something both giddy and contemplative. "Your worries ain't so different than my own," effuses guitarist Martin Courtney blearily. A little sad, but brimming with grand, adolescent possibility, "Fake Blues" travels light and far, fueled by its simple charm. --Zach Kelly
62. Volcano Choir
"Island, IS"
When word broke that Justin Vernon of Bon Iver had been working on an album alongside Wisconsin instrumental post-rock outfit Collection of Colonies of Bees, a few devotees probably wrinkled their noses a bit-- he was, after all, closely identified with solitary, emotional bloodlettings. But the results were moving anyway. Amid the spongy, repeating layers of Unmap entry point "Island, IS", Vernon's falsetto is painted with colors and textures and rhythms only hinted at in his solo work. Grooves open wide and close tight. Chords blink and twirl. No longer alone and somewhere deep inside the Bees' hivemind, Vernon's voice found another kind of home, and perhaps gave a glimpse of what's to come. --David Bevan
61. Atlas Sound [ft. Lætitia Sadier]
"Quick Canal"
It's easy to marvel at "Quick Canal", to get swept up in its dense whirlpools of sound, to admire Bradford Cox for achieving a successful sonic communion with idol Laetitia Sadier rather than succumbing to the various perils of hero worship, and to fall completely under the spell of the Stereolab singer's angelic invocations and impossible high notes. It's easy to want to tune in again and again-- even at nine minutes it's never quite long enough. And while you're doing all that, it's easy to forget how awesomely noisy this thing gets, and how, after listening to it over and over at the high volumes it somehow demands, you're probably going to suffer some kind of permanent hearing damage. "Quick Canal": Even when it's loud, it still sneaks up on you. --Matthew Solarski

backside and a wrap, two of Solstice's least favorite things!
AKC or NADAC and why? I've only done AKC events before and am debating some NADAC but am totally unfamiliar with the latter.
Just finally found the page to look up AKC trial events and there's a trial coming up in a few months in San Antonio that allows toys in the ring??
I wasn't aware any agility association had trials that allowed toys within the ring during runs, unless this is a rare exception or I'm not understanding what they deem toys in the ring. Wonder if the laser pointer would count as a 'toy', because if so, the cheap entry fee and 1.5 hour travel is tempting to try. Bonus points: the place is hosted in an indoor facility with AC.
Edit: Also, sent off my change request for Cas' registration name to be adjusted to "AAC's Wings Sold Separately" because it needed to be done and is worth the $25 fee.

Hello everyone! As I've said, I will start a giveaway on this blog. I wanted to find something that people would be interested in for the giveaway, but limiting my budget at least a little, I've though of some prizes that would be interesting for everyone(I hope at least). And I'm even pitching out more since the blog as reached 275+ followers! The giveaway will start now, from June 19th, 2014, and will end on August 19th, 2014, so in two month exactly.
Yeah that's all… I wanted to do more, like having multiples prizes of the same values, first winner take first pick, but that would mean that the other 2 winners would maybe not get what they wanted in the prizes, so I'd rather have 3 time the same prize. And now for the
Finally, I wish good luck to everyone who will participate! I you have any question, feel free to send me an ask! Happy season 2 to all of you and:
Club Agility Lesson 8/3/15
Not sure if our class being canceled for last week put Cas off his rhythm or what, but the start of the lesson was filled with disconnections and veering off to bark at our instructor. It took the first ten minutes to seemingly get Cas to screw his head back on, but once he was able to focus on me (admittedly, I broke out the high value deli ham earlier than I was anticipating, but to be fair, I had been asking him for a half hour's worth of basic obedience/focus/tricks beforehand with his low/medium value treats, so I guess that's probably fine).
Once his brain clicked on, he did great. Small class last night, so got to do a lot of small chaining exercises with a lot of emphasis on taking backside of jumps. Had some good sequences and not so great ones, but it was just me needing to figure out where I need to be in order to execute cues better. Easier said than done in a straight line up of three jumps with the two on the ends being winged. We managed reasonably well, especially considering I just introduced the concept and trying to cue Cas to take the backside of a jump a few weekends ago.
Was able to get some really nice send outs to the tunnel from both the weave poles after the jumps and from the dogwalk. One chain required a front cross after the DW to send to the farthest tunnel entrance, and was extremely happy when I managed to get that handling maneuver without Cas plowing into me or blowing the DW contact. We even got the up contact with his striding! Need to look up some information for training running contacts and work on his up contact, as he seems to stride perfectly over it most of the time.
Another impressive feat from Cas last night were his weaves; he was really trying to up his weave game and only missed one or two entrances. He was also pushing for speed, and managed some of the cleanest and fastest weave patterns I've seen from him on the six poles. The laser I brought out at the end of class just to see how he'd do and man does he love that thing. Got some amazing drive on the jumps and weaves with that as his reward, but it's still 50/50 on his focus around it. He's either gunning it with the slightest gesture towards an obstacle or bouncing back to me in hopes the light will appear.
Hey! You two! We're all going to take a picture! Get over here! Hurry! Hurry!

Johnson joins the 300 club in style
Mitchell Johnson rubber-stamped his membership to Australia's exalted 300 club in brutal fashion with a ball for the ages to dismiss Jonny Bairstow at Edgbaston. Johnson became the fifth Australian to pass the 300-wicket milestone with the third ball of his opening over, producing a snorting, short-pitched delivery that a leaping Bairstow could only fend to Peter Nevill behind the stumps. The pair combined again two balls later when Ben Stokes became Johnson's 301st victim with another venomous effort that cannoned off the batsman's gloves to give the tourists the perfect start after the first day dominated by the hosts.AAP

Product description
This is an eye-opening exploration of a troubling phenomenon: the fast-growing belief in Muslim countries that the end of the world is at hand--and with it the "Great Battle," prophesied by both Sunni and Shii tradition, which many believers expect will begin in the Afghan-Pakistani borderlands. Jean-Pierre Filiu uncovers the role of apocalypse in Islam over the centuries, and highlights its extraordinary resurgence in recent decades. Identifying 1979 as a decisive year in the rise of contemporary millenarian speculation, he stresses the ease with which subsequent events in the Middle East have been incorporated into the intellectual universe of apocalyptic propagandists. Filiu also shows how Christian and Jewish visions of the Final Judgment have stimulated alarmist reaction in Islamic lands, both in the past and today, and examines the widespread fear of Christian Zionist domination as an impetus to jihad. Though the overwhelming majority of Muslims remains unpersuaded, the mounting conviction in the imminence of apocalypse is a serious matter, especially for those who are preparing for it.
