The Bird and the Bee, Juliette Commagere at El Rey Theatre
The Bird & the Bee's Inara George and Greg Kurstin are a madly talented pop duo. George is the daughter of the late Little Feat mastermind Lowell George, and she's also a part of the dreamy new femme-vocal supergroup the Living Sisters. Meanwhile, keyboardist/producer Kurstin has collaborated with Lily Allen, Peaches, Beck, Gwen Stefani, Rilo Kiley and Little Boots (among many others). As the Bird & the Bee, George and Kurstin whip up retro, highly stylized pop tunes that are both sugary and smart, although their mellow moods can sometimes get a bit twee and precious. Case in point: At tonight's show, the Bird & the Bee are celebrating the upcoming release of their new CD, Interpreting the Masters, Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates. While it's debatable that Hall & Oates are masters of anything (beyond watering down Philly soul to the point of fluffy insubstantiality), George and Kurstin will likely put their own distinctly charming twist to dorky hits like "Private Eyes" and the exceedingly annoying "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)." Better catch the Bird & the Bee now, as the pregnant George is expecting a baby in April and will be out of action for a spell. The local singer Juliette Commagere opens with a set of invitingly ethereal electropop chansons from her latest CD, Turntablism. (Falling James)
Experience Hendrix at Gibson Amphitheatre
What kind of music would Jimi Hendrix make if he were still alive today? Of course, we'll never know the definitive answer to one of rock's great what-if questions, although tantalizing clues might be found on the upcoming Valleys of Neptune (due next month), a collection of previously unreleased recordings whose mere existence (and recent rediscovery) is somewhat astonishing, given how many times Hendrix's musical tomb has been ransacked over the past 40 years. Near the end of his short life, the prolific Seattle guitarist was exploding in seemingly a hundred different directions at once, jamming with Miles Davis and inventing his own fusion of fluidly grooving space funk and otherworldly world music. One thing's certain, however: Hendrix — who was increasingly frustrated that his teenybop fans only wanted to hear the early hits — probably wouldn't still be trotting out his oldies with the kind of deferentially unimaginative note-for-note treatment that often occurs at tribute concerts like this. That said, this edition of the annual Experience Hendrix tour does feature some interesting guests (along with a more predictable assortment of the usual flashy suspects, like Joe Satriani, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang). Jimi's old Army buddy and post-Experience bassist Billy Cox will be on hand to lend some much-needed authenticity and warmly rounded bottom end, along with Isley Brothers guitarist Ernie Isley, the terminally underrated Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford, Los Lobos' Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo, and Living Colour (buried puzzlingly at the bottom of the bill). Still, one wishes that the booking of this all-male, mostly retro lineup showed the same freewheeling creativity and genre-crossing bravery that Jimi once embraced. Just imagine how fiery it might have been if the promoters had invited such disparate freak-flag wavers as, say, Marnie Stern, P-Funk's Blackbyrd McKnight, Love's Johnny Echols, Meshell Ndegeocello, Backbiter's Jonathan Hall, Kaki King, MOB's Roger Miller, the Meat Puppets' Curt Kirkwood and Tinariwen's Ibrahim Ag Alhabib. Oh well. Guess we're "still raining, still dreaming ..." (Falling James)

Boyz II Men at Club Nokia
For early-'80s babies, there's no R&B group more smooth, sensitive and in sync than Boyz II Men. The legendary vocal quartet came together in 1986 at a Philadelphia high school for the arts, and rose to fame with the coming of New Jack Swing, the game-changing hybridization of sample-heavy hip-hop and barbershop soul. So what if boy-band impresario Lou Pearlman engineered Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC after he witnessed BIIM's success in the suburbs; it never got better than Nathan, Michael, Shawn and Wanya. Much of that is due to the fact that while other groups were going deeper down the rappin' hole — or going straight pop — these four stayed mostly old-school over the course of 10 albums (!), having more to do with the Spinners than with their contemporaries. Today, BIIM is down one member — bass singer Michael McCary — but the remaining Boyz are showmen to the bone. They will woo you fully, shower you with roses, then leave you a little bleary-eyed as they go on their way. (Chris Martins)
826LA Benefit feat. the Submarines, the Growlers, Pity Party, Summer Darling at the Echoplex
The Chickens in Love "mini music festival" takes its name from an upcoming compilation curated by the good folks at 826LA, the Echo Park–based chapter of Dave Eggers' nationwide nonprofit youth + writing organization. The record itself is composed of songs whose lyrics were written by 826LA students (ages 6 to 18), recorded by L.A.-area artists. The list of players runs the gamut — from Fiona Apple and Tim & Eric to Dum Dum Girls and She & Him — and includes the four bands performing at this event: folksy pop duo the Submarines, surf-country Costa Mesa crew the Growlers, indie experimentalists Pity Party and the math-rock–inclined Summer Darling. The Hive Hair Shop is scheduled to be on hand to provide on-the-spot punk 'dos, apropos "rocker accessories" will be available from local designers, and the Grill 'em All food truck will provide burgers. All proceeds from the $15 show go right back into 826LA, which means enabling hardworking creative types and wide-eyed kiddies to execute yet more great ideas. (Chris Martins)
Joe Henry at Largo at the Coronet
Sounds a bit corny, but our Joe Henry really is a quadruple threat. A grittily nuanced singer and an advanced guitar stylist, he's also a revered production wiz capable of elegantly original studio shadings for the varied likes of artists such as Solomon Burke, Elvis Costello, Loudon Wainwright III and Allen Toussaint. His most impressive feat in recent times, however, has been his ascent as a songwriter, where, in history-probing works that elegantly weave alternative country, rock, jazz and folk, he spins highly literate and richly metaphorical tales with a grand cast of hugely memorable and moving characters. The Tin Pan Alley/neo-kool-jazz/country-blues and beyond of Henry's latest, Blood From Stars(Anti-), is a startling leap into a rootsy but intriguingly unfamiliar musical space that's somehow all of the above and none of it at all — and, as you know, that distinctively American brand of genius is where it's at. (John Payne)
Also playing Saturday:
BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA at Royce Hall; MOSES CAMPBELL, VOICE ON TAPE, MISSINCINATTI, HOMESICK ELEPHANT, MORE at the Echo Curio; DAVID WILCOX at Smothers Theater (Pepperdine University); KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, DARK TRANQUILITY at the Wiltern; JARROD GORBEL, ORENDA FINK at the Bootleg Theater; REBELUTION; SOJA, ZION-I at House of Blues.
Earthworm Ensemble at the Echo
All you new moms and pops out there trying to keep up with the latest and most infotational "music for kids" are no doubt discovering that there's a problem, namely that said namby-pamby nursery noise just makes you want to barf. But here now is a welcome exception whose humor, intelligence and really ace musicianship mean you ain't gotta have a rug rat to appreciate it: presenting Earthworm Ensemble, a sterling bunch of real rock & roots musicians such as country renegades I See Hawks In L.A., the Chapin Sisters, progressive C&W boys Mike Stinson, Brantley Kearns and David Jackson, and, dig it, Sly Stone bassist Jimi Hawes. Their eponymous CD features these great players and their kidz singing their li'l hearts out in imaginatively arranged tunes dealing with good stuff about taking care of the planet and being nice and fair to other people, and there's no skimping on tunes about train riding or the timeless joy of pizza. Bring the babies and dig on in. (John Payne)
Also playing Sunday:
DEVON ROLAND & THE CRAZY HEARTS at El Cid.
David Scott Stone at Echo Curio
Sir DSS, as he's sometimes called, may be best known to civilians as a dextrous musician who's played with the Melvins, the Locust, Keiji Haino, Jello Biafra, Merzbow, Big Business and others. Which is a pretty amazing group to be affiliated with, if you look at the macro of it all. You've got some legends of Japanese noise, some beefy post-punk/metal, an annoying S.F. punk singer and lots of guts. He's also kinda fancy: He's gigged the Centre Pompidou and appeared in the 2006 Whitney Biennial. But what he's been doing at the Curio, so we've heard (lame, lame, lame, not been yet), is collaborating with miscellaneous kindred spirits. In the friendly confines of the Echo Curio, there are worse ways to spend a Monday. Also on the bill: The Urxed, Mirror to Mirror. (Randall Roberts)
Also playing Monday:
DAVID BAZAN, HEADLIGHTS, KISSING COUSINS at Alex's Bar; YEAR LONG DISASTER at the Troubadour; THE BIRHTDAY SUITS, GOD EQUALS GENOCIDE at the Five Stars Bar; THE KEVIN O'DAY BAND, DJ QUICKIE MART at the Mint.
Laura Veirs at Spaceland
The Oregon songwriter Laura Veirs could just as well be describing herself on her latest album, July Flame, when she sings, "Not a household name but/She's been in your head all day/It would be so cool to/Be like Carol, Carol Kaye." Veirs is referring to the legendary session-musician bassist (who, coincidentally, was profiled by Jessica Hopper in these pages two weeks ago). Veirs' new CD might also end up in your head all day, although her spare folk-pop songs are many miles away from the elaborate arrangements of Kaye-pumped classics like "Good Vibrations" and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." Instead, Veirs' longtime producer, Tucker Martine (the Decemberists, Spoon, Jesse Sykes), imbues tracks like "Little Deschutes" and "Summer Is the Champion" with low-key string and horn embellishments. My Morning Jacket's Jim James deepens the austere sound of acoustic idylls "I Can See Your Tracks" and "Silo Song" with big, dramatic, sky-filling harmonies. Even with such stellar help, Veirs ultimately finds her own way on July Flame, as she confesses, "Oh I can see your tracks/But I won't follow them." (Falling James)
The Big Pink, A Place to Bury Strangers at El Rey Theatre
After turning many a hipster's head last year with a handful of U.S. shows in support of their celebrated debut, A Brief History of Love, London's Big Pink are coming back our way for a five-week North American tour that launches tonight at El Rey and wraps next month at Coachella. The best parts of Brief History sound like the dude from Arctic Monkeys fronting Nine Inch Nails; their semi-hit single "Dominos" is a block-rocking blast of salty soccer-hooligan soul. Volume-wise, the Big Pink should be given a run for their money by Brooklyn-based openers A Place to Bury Strangers (who, incidentally, warmed up some of NIN's crowds during the Lights in the Sky tour); on last year's excellently titled Exploding Head they use huge guitars to disguise the sad-dude vulnerability of songs like "I Lived My Life to Stand in the Shadow of Your Heart." (Mikael Wood)
Also playing Tuesday:
HIS ORCHESTRA, RED TIDE, SUPERHUMANOIDS at the Silverlake Lounge; MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA at the Troubadour; DIRTY ED TUESDAYS FEAT. THE NEUROTICS, THE CRAZY SQUEEZE, OTHERS at the Redwood Bar; PLANETS, TOTALLY SERIOIUS, L.A. FOG, SECONDARY at the Smell.
Little Boots, Dragonette, Class Actress AT El Rey Theatre
U.K. solo artist Little Boots, aka Victoria Hesketh, presents a pile of stylistic contradictions that seem perfectly suited for modern ears. Among her primary influences, she places Britney Spears on the same plane as French synth pioneer Jean Michel Jarre and, well, Captain Beefheart. That last reference may be tough to pick out in Hesketh's decidedly straightforward music or lyrics; she does have a certain je ne sais quoi that makes her accessible to the masses, but a wee bit more interesting than most pop chart–toppers. As far as associations go, it also helps that she's signed to rising L.A. indie label IAMSOUND. Canadian electro-pop band Dragonette is almost exclusively throwback — hell, the group even wrote a song for Cyndi Lauper's 2008 comeback LP — and is often described as a female-fronted Scissor Sisters. That polished brand of synthesized glam defines the band's recent full-length, Fixin' to Thrill. Brooklyn's Class Actress puts a grittier, lo-fi spin on this night's common sound, making the trio a closer cousin to Cold Cave than Human League. (Chris Martins)
Also playing Wednesday:
NOBUNNY, TV GHOST at the Five Stars Bar; MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA at the Troubadour; THE TEMPER TRAP, DARKER MY LOVE at the Henry Fonda Theater; THE DELTA SPIRIT, WE BARBARIANS, JONNY CORNDOG at the Bootleg Theater; CORREATOWN at Spaceland; SEVENDUST at House of Blues; JOE SIB, AUDRA MAE at Largo at the Coronet; TRAVIS X, A-TRACK at the Roxy; WET & RECKLESS, AGENT RIBBONS, KISSING COUSINS at the Silverlake Lounge.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the Echoplex
These L.A.-based garage-rock believers get off on freshening up old sounds, but there's lots of newness happening inside the BRMC camp right now: a new album (Beat the Devil's Tattoo) featuring a new drummer (former touring Raveonette Leah Shapiro) on a new label (the band's own Abstract Dragon). (Also worth noting: the trio's inclusion on last year's New Moon soundtrack.) To celebrate all this novelty, BRMC are doing three nights at the Echoplex shortly before heading to SXSW in order to convince the music industry to pay attention to Devil's Tattoo. Should you? Sure! In addition to an awesomely self-parody–skirting title, it's got an abundance of hazy, Jesus and Mary Chain–style jams about such niceties as bad blood, war machines and the River Styx. Ooh, which reminds me: new-genre alert! Shoegaze + the blues = bluegaze, people. (Mikael Wood)
Slow Club at Spaceland
Slow Club are a delightful folk-pop duo from Sheffield, England. Singer-guitarist Charles Watson claims to be "heavily influenced by Leonard Cohen (the later years)," while singer-guitarist/percussionist Rebecca Taylor, in turn, proudly declares that she's "heavily influenced by Rod Stewart (all the years)." Slow Club's music on their debut album, Yeah So (Moshi Moshi), is considerably closer to Cohen's than Rod the Mod's, with Watson plucking somber acoustic chords while he and Taylor exchange gently witty sentiments like "Sorry About the Doom" and "There Is No Good Way to Say I'm Leaving You." There's an engaging air of romantic mystery on the aptly titled hazy reverie "I Was Unconscious, It Was a Dream," as they sing, "I'll let you say I love you/When I know I'll never say it back/And you open up the floodgates/And wipe the village clean off the map." Slow Club aren't always slow, picking up their heels on the rootsy, up-tempo romp "It Doesn't Have to Be Beautiful," and they're too restlessly clever and playful to be obediently faithful folk revivalists. Don't miss 'em. (Falling James)

Ten years ago this month, NASA Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars for 90 day missions. Much to the surprise of everyone, Spirit's mission lasted nearly seven years, and Opportunity is still operational and making scientific discoveries to this day!
On June 10th and July 7th 2003, Spirit and Opportunity each rode their Delta II rockets into space and started their seven month journey to mars!
After their seven month trip, the world anxiously monitored their landings onto the surface of mars and awaited their first photos of the Martian landscape.
The two rovers traveled great distances and made many discoveries.
Unfortunately for Spirit, one of its wheels became stuck, forcing the rover to drag its dead wheel whenever it wished to move. The dead wheel on Spirit eventually revealed an important scientific discovery, however. A piece of ground dug up from dragging the wheel exposed a layer of fine silica dust. The discovery of silica dust shows us that Mars had an environment very suitable for bacterial growth, because the silica dust could only have been produced from one of two processes: a hot spring, or an acidic steam spout. Similar environments produced the first life on Earth.
In May 2009, Spirit rover accidentally drove into a patch of very soft soil which had appeared to be solid. After months of attempts to free the rover, NASA decided that Spirit would have to remain stuck and become a stationary science platform. A short time later, the rover ceased communicating and the mission was officially ended on May 25th, 2011 after over a year of unsuccessful communication attempts.
Opportunity, however, lived on. Ten years after it landed on Mars, Opportunity is still making scientific discoveries! Most recently, it found a donut shaped rock suddenly appear in front of it! Researchers are stunned and believe the rock may have been from a meteor impact!
For more information about these awesome rovers, check out this link to their NASA page. You might also be interested in the much larger and newer rover Curiosity.

Pakistan: Open letter: To urgently request a halt to execution of Behram Khan
In this open letter Amnesty International calls on the President of Pakistan to take steps to halt the execution of Behram Khan, to establish a moratorium on executions with a view to abolition and to commute all death sentences. Behram Khan is scheduled to be executed on 30 June 2012 and would be the first execution in Pakistan in almost four years. The execution of Behram Khan would reverse the hard fought progress made in Pakistan and possibly open the door to more executions.

United Nations approval is especially problematic because France, China or Russia might very likely veto such a resolution. In addition, France, a presumed ally, is raising the specter of neo-imperialism in referring to what they see as reckless U.S. adventurism. By initially choosing the U.N. route to get to Baghdad, the Bush administration now risks all-important domestic popular support by taking the short cut of a wildcat attack on a sovereign nation.
In a democracy, public support for any war is critical to its success, particularly if things dont go as expected. They often dont, because wars by nature are chaotic and unpredictable. The U.S. government and public-flush with recent cake walks in Desert Storm, Kosovo, and Afghanistanhave currently forgotten that wars can sometimes drag on, and the losses can be far more bloody than predicted. Unimagined, protracted slaughter in the Civil War and World War I continue to haunt the annals of warfare. Initial public support for the Vietnam War was high during 1965 and 1966, but eroded after the North Vietnamese-inspired Tet Offensive in 1968. Although two-thirds of Americans support war as an option, those numbers plummet if the U.S. incurs high military casualties, inflicts high casualties on Iraqi civilians, or gets bogged down in a long and expensive war with or occupation of Iraq. So public support for an invasion of Iraq is soft, boding ill for the administration if its military adventure does not go according to plan.
And the public should be skeptical of such adventures. Prior to September 11, brush fire wars conducted by presidents had domestic consequences that seemed manageable. For example, the first Bush administrations invasion of Panama and the Clinton administrations attack on Somalia and bombing of Serbia had little short-term impact on the average American. But the terrorist strikes of September 11 showed that hatred of America generated by such excursions could have disastrous repercussions here at home. For example, the unneeded U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia motivates al Qaeda to attack U.S. targets. The physical damage and loss of life from those attacks-although horrific-may not be their worst domestic effects.
Historically, civil wars and attacks on nations homelands have had greater domestic ill effects than imperial wars overseas. But when overseas adventures result in attacks on a nations otherwise invulnerable homeland-especially when an unseen enemy attempts to inflict mass civilian casualties (perhaps with nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological weapons)such domestic effects become much more severe. For example, after both the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and the attacks on those same buildings in 2001, the fear of terrorist attacks generated laws and executive actions that severely restricted the civil liberties of Americans. In the later case, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act and the administration promised secret military courts and unlimited detentions of U.S. citizens without trial or the provision of a lawyer. Draft legislation from the Justice Department threatens additional draconian measures.
Such oppressive strictures are more at home in the former Soviet Union than in the home of the free and the brave. And what do we trade for constriction of our freedoms? If everything goes well-and thats a big ifa successful invasion of Iraq wins only marginal advantages on the chessboard of the Middle East. The term national security has been turned on its head if the U.S. homeland, its citizens and its way of life are endangered so that the foreign policy elite in Washington can protect Israel, grab oil, and avenge Saddams transgressions against Bush the father. We must remember that Iraq is a small, poor nation half way around the worldwith no demonstrated connection to the September 11 attacksthat, if left alone, would pose little threat to the United States. Saddam could be deterred and contained by the international community-as he had been for more than a decade before September 11.
Such disquieting facts are what underlie the vague anxiety of the American people about an invasion of Iraq that is reflected in polling results. The Bush administration ignores this sleeping giant at its own peril.

Unless you're one of those gardeners who operates a scorched earth policy, someone who is trigger-happy with the weed killer, be consoled by the philosophical observation that a weed is just a plant in the wrong place.
As a veteran in the war against ground elder - as pointless and unwinnable as that in Afghanistan - I have learned to live alongside it. Peace talks made progress when I learned that it's edible. Now when I see those resilient jaggy shoots standing to attention, where everything else has been attacked by slugs, I think: "Oh great, salad." The vigour of this tenacious plant knocks spots off those gas-flushed packs of flaccid supermarket salad leaves, and even if that's all you've got, a few leaves of elder inject the vitality of the allotment into your salad. The flavour is not bad either, mildly acidic and clean.
The gastronomic potential of ground elder, and a whole squad of underutilised edible plants, comes as no news to the people who run the Secret Herb Garden outside Edinburgh. Some people will remember when this concern was called Damhead, growing a good little selection of organic vegetables and herbs and supplying these, and other organic dried goods, to shops and restaurants. When it sadly closed, it left a gap, which has now been filled in the most creative way. The new owners, who have some connection with Jekka McVicar, Britain's doyenne of herb cultivation, have renewed and re-opened the place. They cultivate their own seeds; you can buy them there.

If you're looking for food to eat, as opposed to food to grow, the Secret Herb Garden is a work in progress. An attractive vintage glasshouse is at the heart of the operation, filled with edible greens of all sorts: rampant parsley, lavender, thyme, rosemary, fennel. In amongst the greenery is a random collection of well-worn garden furniture. On a good day, you can eat "outside" in the glasshouse. These old glasshouses were designed to keep in the heat, and this one is remarkably cosy, even when it's quite parky outdoors.
In a separate building, there's a cafe cum shop, serving a relatively limited menu, for the time being, of fresh, but cold, food. A larger kitchen, allowing hot cooking, is phase two. But already, the hallmark of the small selection is herbs with everything. There are quiches, but not as we know them: more imaginative. I'd never have thought of putting celeriac and parsnip in a vegetable tart, but combined with cheddar, and fistfuls of hyssop, it worked surprisingly well. Ditto apple, carrot, goat cheese and tarragon - that combination would never have occurred to me - but was another hit, and picking up the flavour of the just-picked tarragon made me realise how faded so many of those supposedly fresh packs of herbs are in the shops. Spring onion, bacon and potato made another first for me, but I was pleased to make its acquaintance. Crumbly pastry and melting meaty, oniony, potato bound lightly by eggs and milk? Nice one.
There's some wise sourcing too, from bakery Andante in Morningside: twists of butter puff pastry with goat cheese and pulpy tomato centres. All would benefit from being heated, but they were so recently made, and happily not refrigerated, that it didn't terribly matter.
I might try flogging them some of my ground elder for the salad - it would fit into the biodiverse mix, which, that day, was ruby chard, spinach thinnings, nastursium, chickweed, marigold petals, and white sorrel, well coated in a mustardy mayonnaise. Sometimes sticky willy (aka cleavers, goosefoot) goes into the mix. Quiche and salad (admittedly a small portion), only costs £4.50.
If you fancy tea and cake before you have a look at the beehives, seeds and plants, or the antique furniture, there's tea from the admirable Pekoe, a nice-looking line of cakes: brownie, carrot cake, lemon poppy seed and an interesting apple, sage and cinnamon number.
The Secret Herb Garden is not only wildlife-friendly, but child-friendly. In the glasshouse, kids are actively encouraged to play. In fact, it's a fun place, fresh and original.

It's All Right
It's All Right, marks the 3rd and most intimate and emotionally raw CD from Spring to date. It is a collection of heart driven songs that tap into the human experience. It is sometimes spiritually uplifting and other times dark and brooding. Always, However passionate, soulful and brutally honest. LA MUSIC CONNECTION by Charlie Steffens SPRING MATERIAL: As a singer/songwriter and musician, Spring melds the influences of Carole King, Joan Armatrading and Joni Mitchell creating a sound that speaks to the heart. Springgroove, the name of her Band, released an 2004 album that presented a broad range of sounds with cello, mandolin, piano, guitar and various percussion instruments. Together this act's material is both contemporary and timeless. Lyrics penned with emotion, are sung raw (by Spring), with a dynamic and beautiful delivery that rises with vitality and descends into tenderness. MUSICIANSHIP: Whether playing with a full band, or in a stripped down fashion, Spring is a quintessential musician. Flanked by Danny McGaw on guitar and Eric Sittner on a big upright bass, Sprin's live show is a true measure of what she and her bandmates can do. And, it's obvious that the stage is where they thrive. While it's interesting to see Spring and her full band perform, it's even more satisfying to hear her play solo on piano or guitar-or, far better, singing a capella. PERFORMANCE: The band'd sound was well balanced, the musicianship was tight and the trio was fun to watch. McGaw, a fine player tastefully strummed, finger picked and played leads, accentuating a solid rhythm laid down by Spring and timekeeper/bassist Sittner. Advocating a less is more, non-showy approach. Spring's mission was to get her message across via her music . To this end, she thoroughly enjoyed herself while performing and made sure that her audience was well taken care of. Spring delivered nice touches in a venue as intimate as the Synergy Cafe Lounge. SUMMARY: Spring is an exuberant, gifted performer with amazing accompaniment from her guitarist and bass player. This artist showed she can hold her audience with an effortless display of love and light, which as it happens, is her creed****.

Notes From the the Norman Foster Talk at the Nasher
Krista and I just returned from the luncheon and talk given by Norman Foster at the Nasher. He said a few things of note about his Winspear Opera House, but the real action was at our table, whereat were seated Marion and Nash Flores and Kevin Moriarty. We discussed fashion, drinking in downtown, and rock and roll. Notes after the jump.
— Marion is the CFO of Vistas, the virtual-advertising firm. She also happens to be married to Nash Flores, a partner in Ceres Capital Partners and the guy who brought in the millions to renovate Booker T. Washington. Marion is one of the coolest women I've met. We had a good talk about the future of print media. I learned that she and Nash like Nine Inch Nails. Also, for a time, they flew around the country following the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm not making this up. If you know the Floreses, this might surprise you. It did me.
— The Floreses have a daughter named Whidden. She started a band named Wonderbuugg. Right now, Wonderbuugg is on a tour of the East Coast, with some very limited corporate sponsorship hard won by Marion. Again, if you know the Floreses, this might surprise you. Or maybe if you only know them a little bit, it would surprise you. If you know them well, maybe it's not surprising at all. I don't know.
— Marion told me that Wolfgang Puck will cater the food at the Winspear cafe, confirming a rumor that I've heard now from several other sources.
— Delores and Larry Barzune also sat at our table. Delores is on more arts boards than you can shake a Pritzker at, and the couple lived for years next door to the Winspears. Delores informed me that Bill Winspear's father, Francis, donated money to make possible a concert hall in Edmonton, Alberta, but that Francis, too, died before he could enjoy the fruits of his philanthropy.
— Kevin Moriarty was wearing a tie. The man is known as a jean-sneakers-jacket guy, so I asked him: regarding the neckwear, WTF, mate? He said if a Pritzker winner is present, he generally goes with the tie.
— More important, though, Kevin said his DTC crew is struggling with the same issue we at D Magazine are facing: there is no decent bar within walking distance of the Arts District. Listen, I know what you're saying, Dali. And, yes, Stephan, I know you're right across the street from us now. But I don't want to pay $10 for a Knob Creek on the rocks. The DTC won't move its offices into the Wyly until December, but Kevin, too, has been searching for a pub-style casual joint where drinks can be drunk for a working man's price, where work can be accomplished when need be, where folks can relax. We've got plenty of showplace, bring-the-out-of-towners fancy joints. But we don't have a bar. A BAR bar. Basically, we need an Old Monk down here. Are you listening Feargal?
— Okay, on to Norman Foster. He began his remarks by saying how wonderful it was to sit at Nancy Nasher's table and talk with her about her namesake sculpture center. He declared it a building of "significant beauty."
— Foster acknowledged that he'd been making the rounds in town, flapping his gums (my words). He said he didn't want to repeat himself. So he quickly opened it up to a Q&A. Such a move can often lead to disaster — dull, shallow questions. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. The audience proved equal to the challenge.
— Q: "How do you balance the demands of running such a large company with the time needed to be creative?" A: (in so many words) "I'm pretty awesome. Also, I've gotten to the point where I can now leave all that company-running stuff to other people. I have more creative time now than ever. I'm happier than ever."
— Q: [Can't recall what elicited the following answer.] A: He has people working for him all over the globe. Traditionally, you can divide those people into groups geographically or based on type of project. He rejects that notion. He lets his people compete for the same projects, which drives accountants batty. They see it as inefficient. But Foster has learned that when people are passionate about something, they'll work around the clock. Competition breeds passion. Also, a project like the Winspear is a marathon. It has taken eight years since they were invited to bid on the project. He has learned that he has to let his people sprint, too. Like the exhibit at the Nasher. Putting that together took a couple weeks. But his people loved doing it. (By the way, it's a great exhibition. If you're the least bit interested in AR-kee-tecture, as Foster pronounces it in his British accent, you need to check it out.)
— Q: "What's one thing that turned out better than you expected at the Winspear?" A: (in so many words) "The acoustics. [Which got a laugh, given reports from what happened with his mic last night.] It really delivered. When you look at what happened at the Royal Opera House, you see what can go wrong. They were delayed six weeks. Forget all the computer modeling. You never know what's going to happen until you actually try it out. The great thing is we didn't have a tragedy." The last line got a good laugh.
— Foster excused himself for being anxious to leave. He and his wife are headed to Marfa today, and there are apparently no lights on the runway out there. They had to get moving.

This text assumes that the greatest volume of writings on popular education derives from the effort of several researchers to analyze and reflect about the practices of individual and collective subjects, aiming mainly to make subordinate groups aware of the causes of their respective poverty and lack of assistance. Such writings usually also seek to overcome this condition by sending adults and youths to school and promoting actions within the popular culture, political training and community mobilizations. That, in many ways, subjects and groups construct their own forms of social cohesion, which are essentially production of meaning and knowledge, has usually not been taken into account. This happens expressively in the dances, entertainments and collective manifestations of popular religiosity. An example proposed in this text is that of the Folia de Reis (Folly of the kings), when the agents of the ritual communicate these meanings and knowledge, even from home to home, when they visit annually the devoted inhabitants.

The move comes after Venture Production rejected Centrica's 845p-a-share offer, which was announced to the market on Friday evening.
Mike Wagstaff, chief executive of Venture Production, said: "In no way does this offer recognise the strategic position and high quality of our UK gas reserves and resources for which the markets have clearly and consistently established significantly higher values across a number of recent transactions."
The owner of British Gas said its offer was final and would not be increased unless another company makes a counter bid.
People close to the situation said Centrica had been left with no option but to go hostile after failing to enter into constructive talks with Venture's management team about an offer. Venture sources claimed, however, that the company had only held limited talks with Centrica about its takeover approach.
Venture was also surprised by some of the comments Centrica made in its statement on Friday. In the announcement, Centrica said it "believes that the current Venture management and employees are an important part of the successful implementation of its plans for Venture, and intends to build on Venture's highly talented group of employees to support the continued development and expansion of the combined business".
A spokesperson for Venture, said: "It is hard to imagine a more inept way to secure the loyalty of key staff, many of them shareholders, than to launch an aggressive hostile offer without even approaching the company."
Having bought a 23.6pc shareholding in Venture earlier this year, on Friday Centrica said it had also acquired 3i's 5.4pc stake in the company. The acquisition of 3i's shareholding takes Centrica's stake up to 29pc
3i's decision to accept Centrica's offer was a surprise to Venture, as until this weekend, 3i had hinted it had no plans to sell the stake at the 845p-a-share level, people close to Venture said. Indeed, reports on Friday suggested that some shareholders were planning to hold out for a higher offer, possibly as high as £12 a share.
Centrica is keen to buy Venture to boost its gas production and avoid having to buy it on the wholesale market at volatile prices. The bid for Venture is Centrica's second major takeover within the last six months. The company, which raised £2.2bn a rights issue last year, agreed to buy a 20pc stake in British Energy for £3.1bn in May following EdF's acquisition of the nuclear electricity generator.
It is thought Centrica is also eyeing other acquisition targets.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Project Goals
.NET libraries for windows/windows phone/mono for XMPP, TLS, RTP, STUN, SOCKS and more.
Current Features - Beta
In progress
The intial goal of this project was to transfer some of my homebrewed home automation audio/video streaming projects to windows phone. XMPP seemed like the ideal protocol for control since it wasn't limited to a given network
like UPNP/Bonjour. This led to the development of an XMPP library and the challenges of making a relatively simple protocol work on windows phone.
The windows phone API is severely crippled, and as I ported the library I discovered I had to write a TLS stack (quite challenging), deal with serialization features not working, and of course handle phone limitations. The result, though, provides
a way to communicate with XMPP devices on the phone and in windows. Two user interfaces were created in this project as examples. They are only meant to be examples and still need a bit of work, but I use them daily and plan on publishing the phone
application in the market soon.
These libraries are a mixture of many things I've put together over the years, and because of this, aren't yet as smoothly integrated as I would like, In addition there are others that have not been added yet, so stay tuned.
Thanks To:

Ive had mu supersport about a month now and its fantastic! I bought it for shooting pigeons and rabbits but i havnt had the time to see haw it works in the field. Ive had fantastic groups at about 25 yards using h&n field target trophy pellets. I put a nikko sterling 6x40 scope on it which is also fantastic. The gun has a nice little kick when you lull the trigger but its not to much. I paid £190 for it and it was definatly worth it!

I have had my Supersport (.177) for just under a year. It was reccomended second hand at £150 instead of a new Commeta or Gamo (didn't like the luminous sights)- thanks to McAvoys of Standish. Steel sights are great up to 20m in decent light. The rifle comes up to the shoulder beautifully and it shoots much better than I can (good day gives you 0.5inch groups at 15 yards no problem) Use good pellets. Mine loves RWS (hobbys and Superdomes) though Webley Acupells are even better. The only… Read Full Review

5 Tips for Business to Promote GivingTuesday – #GivingTuesday
5 Tips for Business to Promote GivingTuesday
Follow Hashtag #GIVINGTUESDAY
Today is GivingTuesday. As the retailers race to count their coffers after the first official weekend of the holiday season and Amazon posts record sales per second on Cyber Monday, the nonprofit world has been anxiously awaiting GivingTuesday.
Projections for donations to nonprofit organizations on GIVINGTUESDAY are anticipated to reach $40 Million. It would be a surprise, if you haven't already received email solicitations. My first one arrived during the night, asking for a dollar from Safe Streets. Safe Streets, once said, "If everyone on our email list only gave just a dollar, it would solve our funding problems". Every dollar does count.

BARONESS Estelle Morris, the former Education Secretary, is to reveal what really happens in the corridors of power and whether politicians interfere too much in education in a North-East lecture.
In her Sunderland University lecture 'Where Politics Meets Education' the Labour Peer is to look at the relationship between education and politics, especially now schools and universities are facing a period of unprecedented change.
Since the Coalition Government came to power in 2010, the public has seen the academy programme expanded across all schools and tuition fees at universities increased.

In a more recent development, Michael Gove, the current Education Secretary has performed a dramatic U-turn today on his own GCSE and English Baccalaureate certificate reforms.
Baroness Morris was the Secretary of State for Education in 2001. She joined the House of Lords in 2005. The lectures, which are free to the general public, aim to inform and stimulate debate, as well as entertain.
Baroness Morris will be speaking in the Murray Library Lecture Theatre, Chester Road, Sunderland on Thursday February 21.
Guests are asked to arrive at 6pm - for a 6.30pm start.

I was reading on a website that Elinor is considered a Quranic name because they believe it came from Al-Nour (light, radiance.) I think this "El" name would be a nice nod to both Elizabeth & Della.
Elinor Violet Robinette
Elinor Miriam Robinette
Another suggestion: the name Adela. (uh-DELL-uh) I like it because it combines Della + Pamela, and you said Adele was a French Muslim name you like.

DANIELSVILLE -- Gov. Roy Barnes has accepted the resignation of Madison County Board of Education member Beth Bolin, according to the governor's staff in Atlanta.
The governor is required by state law to authorize the resignations of local elected officials. Barnes took that action Tuesday on Bolin's resignation.
Bolin notified county school officials of her decision in early July. In an interview on Tuesday, Bolin said she resigned ''for personal reasons,'' declining to elaborate.
Jimmy Patton, school board chairman, said on Tuesday he has not spoken with Bolin about her resignation.
Dennis Moore, superintendent of Madison County schools, was out of the office Tuesday and could not be reached for comment.
Moore is on Jekyll Island attending a state education conference, and is not expected back until Thursday, according to his staff.
Bolin was elected to the school board in November 1998, and her term runs through November 2000, Patton said.
Bolin's seat on the board will be filled by appointment -- the usual practice of the Madison County Board of Education for filling unexpected board vacancies -- with the school board's eventual appointee serving out the remainder of Bolin's term, Patton added.
The school board is now accepting applications from people interested in replacing Bolin, Patton said.
Patton said the board will accept applications for about 30 days, and applicants will be invited to an upcoming board meeting to explain why they want to serve.
No date for that meeting has been set, Patton said, adding that the board may schedule a special meeting if interest is high enough.
Bolin's replacement will have to come from Board of Education District 4, the district which Bolin served.
District 4 comprises the Collins voting precinct and parts of the Danielsville, Mill and Paoli voting precincts, according to county Probate Judge Donald ''Hoppy'' Royston.
School board officials said applications for the vacant seat on the board may be mailed to the school superintendent's office, P.O. Box 37, Danielsville, Ga., 30633-0037. Applications may also be faxed to (706) 795-5104.

Rock Band Gets Alice Cooper and Taking Back Sunday
The father of Shock Rock Alice Cooper makes his Rock Band debut; Taking Back Sunday adds three pack to the Rock Band Music Store

Long Island based hard rock outfit Taking Back Sunday will also make its Rock Band debut next week offering up three of the band's most popular hits. Deemed a consistent power player in the alternative/emo rock scene, the "Taking Back Sunday Pack 01" includes "What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost?," "Liar" and "MakeDamnSure" from the group's major label debut, Louder Now (2006).

Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Nevada
I need a quote for a Motion for Relief From Stay in a scam involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in Las Vegas that has implicated 5 different properties in California. The involuntary Ch. 7 BK filing is a carbon-copy of a prior filing in 12/2010 that was dismissed on 2/23/2011 for failure to appear at an OSC.
The recent 8/15/12 "involuntary" Ch. 7 was filed by the same purported petitioning creditors as the 12/10 petition and identifies 8 separate "akas" and indicates the SSN of the debtor as "unknown". This is a sham filing designed to buy the occupants more time in the property for free.
My client is the owner of one of the five properties implicated in the recent Ch. 7 filing and the Sheriff's Office has stated that since it is an "involuntary" petition that they will not effect a lock-out today as was scheduled even though it was filed post-UD judgment.
I cannot file the MFRS because I am not licensed to practice in Nevada federal court. This should be an easy "cut & paste" job. My client is resigned to the fact that he will have to wait at least 2 weeks before we can get the occupants locked out and the property placed on the market for sale.
I need a firm price quote by someone who knows what they are doing. Please advise accordingly. I want this done ASAP.
1 Answer from Attorneys
A firm quote may be difficult to provide as the attorney providing it would have no way of knowing how much work might be involved. Please see In re Taub, 439 B.R. 261 (2010) for a basic outline of the process.

The room was adequate with hanging space, TV, tea and coffee facilities. It was clean too. The bed was comfy. No lock on bathroom door but not a big issue.... More

|Well, not in self-defense. In defense of using a postage meter, yes -- always illegal.
|If men are so much better than women, why are they spending $25 -- which is like $200 or so in today's dollars -- trying to impress them with their bourgeoise mountain man gear?
|This really sums up the thesis statement behind most of these ads. That being said, men today still ask "Is she pretty?" before "Is she clever?"... just less proudly. (And also, the phrase "Is she clever?" has devolved to, "She smart?")
|I can't believe this guy shot a rare woman/tiger hybrid just to show off his very generic pants. The foot on the head is a nice touch.
|The ad sets up fairly sexist verbiage, but mostly, I felt like I had to include this watch to potentially inspire an enterprising person out there to start manufacturing them again. Every 30 seconds the watch flashes this crude, succinct, brilliant secret message. But when you do start selling these, try to go gender-neutral in the advertising copy.
|Why is the caveman wearing Roman sandals? And why is the woman talking on the phone? These anachronisms are offensive.
|So if you wear a necktie to bed your wife will subserviently serve you breakfast? That seems like an awfully uncomfortable night's sleep just for the sake of a power play.
|First of all, they misued the apostrophe in their banner headline. Terrible. Second, it certainly seems like buying these mounted heads to show off your conquests is a particularly morbid way to make sure you never have sex again. For any woman who got to a guy's house and thought a messy bathroom or an unframed poster was a turn-off, meet the guy with mounted female heads on his wall.
|Unlike the other ads on the list, this one wouldn't fly now because no ad today would ever dare to tell a woman not to be skinny. If anemic-level skinniness isn't the endgame, the advertising industry of today would cease to exist. Today, the ad would say, "Men wouldn't look at me when I was fat, but since I dropped down to 84 pounds, I finally have all the dates I want."

The Lion,The Witch and the Wardrobe, by CS Lewis; Adapted by Adrian Mitchell
Directed by Tim Carrol
Designed by Douglas Paraschuk (set), Dana Osborne (costumes), Kevin Fraser (lighting), Todd Charlton (sound), John Stead (fights), Brad Peterson (projections)
Featuring Sara Farb, Ruby Joy, Tom McCamus, Yanna MacIntosh, Andre Morin, Gareth Potter
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the latest Schulich Children's Theatre series to hit Stratford's stages. Marketed at families and elementary schools, it seems only fair to ask the kids themselves what they think of the show. I caught up with Katie (10), Nolan (6), Abigail (8) and Thomas (5-ish) at intermission to see how they were liking the show. None of the children polled had read the books nor seen the Narnia movies beforehand, and for most, it was their first trip to the Stratford Festival.
RG: So, what do you like about the show so far?
Katie-the-articulate: I liked the part where they think Lucy is lying – I like how they reacted to the truth. I'd see this again, and I'd come back to the theatre. I'd like to read the book now too.
Katie's mom: We have the set…
Katie-the-suddenly-delighted: We do?!? (My librarian heart gives a little leap of joy as I move on to Nolan, who is sitting backwards in his seat.)
|Sara Farb as Lucy. Photo by David Hou.
RG: Hi Nolan, um… are you liking the show?
Nolan: (sliding sideways off the booster seat) No, it's too long.
RG: Oh dear… Are you looking forward to the second half at all?
Nolan: (slipping further onto the floor) After this we're going home.
RG: ...um... What about the lion, Aslan? Are you looking forward to that?
Nolan: (pops back up, briefly) Yeah!
RG: Will you ever come back to the theatre, do you think?
Nolan: No. (perches upside down in seat)
RG: Oh... What about if there were swords and battles? Would you come back then? Because I think there might be swords coming up in the second part…
Nolan: (looking at me sideways) Yeah! (Goes back to acrobatic theatre-seat--sitting)

Moving onto siblings Abigail and Thomas.
RG: Are you enjoying the show?
Abigail-the-enthusiastic: Yes!
Thomas: (silence. Shyness has struck.)
RG: What about it do you like? Do you have a favourite character?
Abigail: Ummm…. The wolf.
RG: The wolf? The bad wolf? (Maugrim, played by Brad Hodder) Any particular reason why you like him?
Abigail: I like animals. He looks like a cat.
RG: Um…
Abigail's Gramma*: That's going to make the costume department feel good!
RG: Ok… And Thomas? What about you?
Thomas-the-shy: ….
Abigail: He likes cats too. (Much discussion about decorating with cat pictures follows)
RG: So are you looking forward to seeing Aslan the Lion in the second part?
Abigail: Yes! We've seen theatre before.
RG: Excellent! Can I catch up with you after the show for your final thoughts?
Abigail: Yes!
Thomas: ….

It is important to remember for families bringing small children to this show that it is quite long, can be very "talky", and there is a lot of inaction between super-exciting bits. The adaptation by Adrian Mitchell contains some jokes that will hit the adult audience squarely in the funny-bone, but only after they've gone whizzing over the heads of the younger playgoers, and Aslan doesn't appear until after intermission (although it is a very grand entrance, to be sure). There are two battle-scenes (with swords) but they are near the end of the play, so just be prepared to fight or accommodate the fidgets. (Likewise, adults unaccompanied by children to this show should just accept it as part of the experience, and enjoy the acrobatic side-show, if present.)
The production is thoroughly magical, with a small musical score (by Shaun Davey) that will thrill the Celtic-blooded; the charming puppets, costumes and prop-costumes that must have had those departments working overtime (Maugrim really does look more canid than feline – in armour, no less); and the set provides a framing device to delight literature-lovers - books are everywhere, reminding the audience at every step that this is a story. The words of the novel adorn snow-covered trees, the scene-scape projections, and even Aslan himself. The steps are made of books, the mansion's columns are books, the thrones of kings and queens are made of books. It's a librarian's dream.
As for those actors inhabiting this enchanting land? The critic feels there wasn't a lot of room to stretch as an actor in most of these parts; the fangirl feels like they were having a lot of fun (except perhaps for Yanna MacIntosh who the critic feels wasn't comfortable embracing the sinister melodrama that is the White Witch). Both critic and fangirl generally prefer Tim Carrol's Peter Pan from 2010 for sheer theatrical joy. But I'm not sure either the critic or the fangirl get a say here, so after the show I caught up with Abigail and Thomas-the-shy for further impressions.

RG: Hi Abigail and Thomas, how did you like the show overall?
Thomas-the-still-shy: ….
Abigail: I have a new favourite character!
RG: Really? Which one? (Fully expecting it to be Aslan, the very imposing lion)
Abigail-the-cat-enthusiast: The jaguar guy! Because he's a CAT!
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (and all its cats) continue at the Avon Theatre until November 5th. Go with the family, suspend your disbelief, and just enjoy the spectacle.
*I apologize if this lovely lady was not Gramma; I completely forgot to ask for her name amidst the discussion of cats.

Tom Du Lys, a dual winning hurdler in France, has shown nothing in two starts for Nicky Henderson and doesn't have a chasers pedigree. Ugo has been making good progress over hurdles and wasn't beaten far in a Listed contest at Market Rasen last time while Furrows showed some promise on his debut over fences at Hereford last month. Heez A Cracker has been very unfortunate not to have won over fences as he was clear when falling two out on his chasing bow at Wetherby and was beaten a short-head at Catterick last month. He's an obvious threat to all but SUSTAINABILITY could have his measure. Venetia Williams' charge, who completed a four-timer over hurdles a year ago, battled on stoutly to score over 2m3f at Newbury and his rider will ensure this is run at a fast pace to bring his stamina into play.
Big News 5-1 (11-0) Prominent, ridden 3 out, weakened approaching next, 5th of 9, 29l behind High Storm (11-0) at Ffos Las 2m 4f mdn hdl (5) sft in May.

And here's mine
The final
Following on the heels of David and Edel, I submit mine. My first rough was this sort of Frank Ghery head. The article was about what to do in tough times, when things are coming apart. I didn't want to do facial features, because that tends to sometimes make my stuff look a bit goofy. The final was an evolution of the head idea, a compromose that I was happy with.
