The finds are exciting and interesting - a hominid with a lot of Homo traits, but the brain size of an Australopithicine (and a chimp). But s/he's got nice brow ridges and cheekbones too. The fossil is less than 2 million years old, so there are Homo species living in other parts of Africa well before this one, but that doesn't mean that an early family of Homo headed south and eventually became these guys. I expect lots of folks at the meetings will be debating it's place on the family tree over coffee. Don Johansen has already said he thinks it should be considered H. sediba, not A. sediba. And the folks over at AiG (the creationists, not the financial debacle) say they'll have a statement about the fossils out tomorrow, after they've looked over the article more carefully.
I have my own questions about the identifications, but since I'm not a paleoanthropologist I won't publicly humiliate myself by asking them here (rather, I'll wait until I get my hands on my paleoanthropoloigst friend and ask him about them - he won't laugh at me). My main concern, at this point, is that the only adult they have is fairly incomplete - she's got a nice long arm and a large portion of her skull, but her lower limbs are fairly scant. Those missing parts are important for understanding bipedalism and the sex, particularly since there is no adult male to compare the specimen to yet. But there are at least two more skeletons to be published, which is great. *sigh* I love the puzzle that is our evolutionary history!
But the point of this rambling post isn't even about this debate on how to identify the species. The data is available and the discussion has begun. And I'm having fun following the experts around the blogosphere to see what they think. And for this I want to applaud Berger LOUDLY. I want to walk up and shake him by the shoulders and say 'THANK YOU DR. BERGER! THANK YOU!' Because the fossils were only uncovered in 2008. And paleoanthropologists have a Horrible habit of keeping their fossils locked up in their labs for years before anyone can look at them. For example, Tim White's team found the fossils of Ardipithicus ramidus in the early 1990s, and didn't publish them until 2009. I knew more about how annoyed people were with him than I did about the fossils. But this took less than two years!
By getting the fossils analyzed and published so quickly, is Berger going to get critiqued for his interpretations? Probably. But I tend to believe that the collective discussion is often more productive and more quickly productive than analysis in isolation. Science is a collective enterprise, and as such, we need to get our data published in a reasonable time. He'd probably get critiqued anyway, paleoanthropology is confusing and complicated. But if you get your data out in two years, you've got a better excuse for being wrong.
And speaking of getting data out in a reasonable time, I've got several more dissertation pages to write tonight, so I am off.

It seems most people really find the goo-factor in eating okra to be a turn off. I LOVE it. I like texture, and I find the unusual texture of goo and little seed balls intriguing - kind of like some people like those tapioca balls in their drinks. And people eat jello and pudding; we have weird textures in our foods, but none quite like okra.
I buy frozen cut up okra, and when I've looked on-line for recipes it seems the only thing people do with it is make gumbo or deep-fry it. I like gumbo sometimes, but other days I just want a quick meal. So here are my standard concoctions:
Okra side dish:
Just frozen cut okra, corn and onions. Boil a little water (per the directions on the bag), toss them in to cook, and drain in the strainer to get rid of some of the goo (It's good to let it sit a minute because the goo drains slowly). It's still slimy, but so what? Your spit is slimy too, the okra is just getting the process started for you. If it needs a little extra flavor I add parmesan cheese and paprika.
Okra main dish:
Very similar. I toss a bouillon cube in the water, or use broth (don't know if this actually flavors anything, but it seems like a good idea). Today I didn't have frozen onions so I cut up a fresh one and fried it with a clove of garlic (sliced) in olive oil. Meanwhile, I cooked the okra and corn in the broth, then drained as above. I added a can of drained black beans for protein (I didn't cook them, just let the heat of the veggies warm them up - but I hate overcooked beans). Then I added in the fried onion/garlic, and a small can of diced green chiles. Delicious, and plenty of leftovers for dinner.
If I have them around, I'll usually add diced tomatoes also. YUM Tomatoes!
If anyone has other ideas for good frozen okra recipes, I'd be glad to hear them. I think this is an ideal creepy halloween food to try on kids - and much faster to prepare than peeling the skins off grapes.

Today I heard a caller on NPR who finally gave me a rational reason that someone would dislike the president's speech. After calling out 'socialism!' a few times he gave me insight when he said 'Obama says you should stay in school because that will help our country. He is reinforcing the idea of putting country before the individual and I don't want him saying that to these kids." Then he ranted about how that was socialism again.
So while I don't agree, at least I get it now. Some people value their individual freedoms much more strongly, and don't want kids to think in terms of 'what i can do for my country', they want them to think 'how can i be all that i can be?'. That is a reasonable opinion to have, and I can see why they might not like Obama's take on things.
That doesn't mean you block your kids from hearing about it. Instead, how about this novel idea: send the kid to school, and read the speech yourself, then talk about it together over dinner! Talk about why you think it's more important to do your personal best for yourself. You should be talking to your kids about what they learn in school anyway. Why is he any more of a threat than the band teacher?

And now comes the ever present 'why sarah, why?' that we say after everything she does on the national stage. WHY didn't you prepare for that interview? WHY did you stand in front of a dying turkey on thanksgiving? Why are you resigning in a huffy rambling fashion that outdid Governor Sanford?
We already know Sarah Palin doesn't do what people tell her, she does what SHE thinks is right. What SHE thinks will get her into the position of power that she wants, regardless of who she takes down along the way. She already took down McCain.
Now, I speculate, as my wild hypothesis, that her plan is to start a new political party that aligns with her views, and try to take the evangelical conservatives away from the Republican Party.
I know that's ridiculous. But it's Sarah Palin. She's a 'maverick'. And she does what she wants. I can see her saying 'I'm fed up. I'm taking the ball home and playing my own game' stomp. stomp. stomp. aka, 'working for change outside of the governor's office', as it were. She knows she won't get the republican bid for president, so she'll start her own party. This is her 'higher calling', I'd surmise. It would seriously mess up the republican party, but not be strong enough to compete with the democrats. She'd stay famous. All these frustrated tea-party-ers would feel they had a voice. Yadda Yadda Yadda. Sure it's crazy, but so is she, so why not? If she thinks that the US Government is not representing her views, and the views of people who support her, the best way to fix that is by starting a party that has those views as a platform (theoretically). I'm calling it.
On an aside, someone on Jezebel suggested that they should get an affected teenager to read her speeches from now on, since that what she sounds like. I think it would be a youtube hit.

I'm sorry, what? Did we NOT just see a bunch of paleontologists ranting about the creation museum? Now, instead, we're just going to give them completely mixed up geology?
FACT: Dinosaurs were around before mammals evolved, they did not dawn after mammals did.
FACT: There were mammals around during the time of the dinos, but primarily small ones (we think).
FACT: After the dinosaurs went extinct about 60 million years ago, mammals expanded to fill in the niches that were left behind. They got larger and more diverse.
FACT: The large mammals highlighted in the Ice Age movies are fairly recent species, which went extinct about 10,000 years ago, after the end of the most recent ice age.
FACT: HUMANS, as seen in the first Ice Age movie, NEVER CO-EXISTED WITH DINOSAURS.
FACT: I LOVED the first Ice Age movie because it was SO geologically accurate. I maintain that they very clearly showed the melting of the glaciers in northwestern North America, culminating in the animals coming out of the ice free corridor into Montana, where they eventually discovered the hot springs that are in Yellowstone National Park today. It was FANTASTIC. They put a lot of effort into getting the geological history right.
From what I understand, the dinosaurs in the new movie live in an underground world that the mammals discover - we're getting back to the Journey to the Center of the Earth/Land of the Lost theme that is so popular this year. That mollifies me a bit, but because the first movie was so well done (in my opinion), and made real geological facts interesting, I am sad to see them going this direction.

Part 2 Summary
Medea comes out, saying that she agreed to see the Chorus because she knows how important it is for foreigners like her to keep up good relations with the people of their adopted homes. She comments at length on how miserable she is, on how badly treated women are in general and on how hard they have to work to manage their husbands and homes and children. She says that immigrant women like her have to work particularly hard, since they never feel fully welcome or at home and are always lonely. She begs the Chorus to support her and keep silent as she looks for a way to take her revenge on Jason, his new wife and his new father-in-law, Creon. Medea comments on how women in general are fearful and defenseless, but once a woman is wronged by a lover, "no other soul can...

After experiencing hands-on gameplay this Fall, MMORPG.com described the game as "a perfect sauce of awesome." The Elder Scrolls Online is the first Elder Scrolls title to be played online after nearly 20 years of these best-selling, award-winning fantasy role-playing games.

"Bridgestone CC is proud to follow in the footsteps of several other great CCs in being named 'CC of the Week.' This award is kind of special, because until they read this, our owner Moosetaya and the rest of the club have no idea they are up for the award.
Moosetaya, took over the CC, from the previous owner and the CC has grown steadily under his leadership. Many of the members have risen from the lower tiers to Tour Legend, because of the help and guidance given within the CC.
Finally, Bridgestone would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing many old friends, plus some new ones in the new year."

It was a close second round, but in the end these four Tour Legends are moving on to Part 2 of the Virtual Tour Championship competing for another 500,000 WGT Credit purse.

Looks and Feels Like A Benz!
Kellye Robinson from Los Gatos, CA
I bought 2 of these dispensers 3 months ago. They still work today as good as they did new. Quality pump mechanism feels as solid as a Benz door closing. It's smooth & solid movement works every time. They look beautiful! Sleek lines and they shine and add bling to my modern master bathroom vanity top. They have a really quality coating on them that repels fingerprints, so I've only needed to wipe them down 1X in 3 months! Highly recommend!
Best soap pump

I am running an executable process from my ASP.NET application when a user clicks a button. This process creates several files and serves them up to the end-user.

Score from 357 reviews Wonderful
Very helpful and kind staff! Since GPS is pretty much useless in the hill towns, it was wonderfully helpful getting the staff to go to our car and lead us to the hotel. Plus, getting out of the town, would have been very difficult without their help. Comfortable bed. And breakfast was fulfilling.
warmth/friendliness of Roberto and Victoria. nothing too much trouble great location
Roberto and wife were fabulous host/hostess. So friendly and helpful with suggestions for local area orientation. Great breakfast offerings, most comfortable room. Very quick access to center of town.
The proprietors are kind, efficient, interesting, thoughtful and amusing, and helped out in all ways, including driving me to a concert at a church not within easy walking distance. It is a great hotel, in a lovely city.
Host is a great host. Very friendly and larger than life but not intrusive.
Parking inside the city. Hotel has marked places reserved in front, The hotel cannot guarantee the parking place so it might be an idea to arrive in good time, Access to the historic city is a little challenging but once on top of city in the main square jus follow the signs La Terrazza
The location is great. GPS is hard to locate, but if you call near by Roberto will meet you and guide you to the house. Roberto is a character. He will graciously show you around. His wife Victoria prepares an excellent breakfast.
Victoria and Roberto were very accommodating and entertaining.
Rooms were dark
Roberto and his lovely wife were do gracious. Have us directions and also suggested the best restaurant in town !
Roberto and his wife Victoria are both very helpful and friendly. They said our booking was not in their system when we arrive. A small room arranged and a bottle of wine is given as an apology gift. We got the big room next morning. Breakfast was very good.
The best thing about La Terrazza was - Roberto and his beautiful wife Victoria. They were so welcoming and Roberto made breakfast an experience not to be missed! The rooms were great and quite different from the usual hotel room, I'm pleased to say.
our bathroom could have been better, but allowances have to be made for the fact that the house is old and it all adds to it's charm.
Easy check in and check out Great location (right in town centre) It's a beautiful building, very authentic, old Italian Friendly Italian couple that manages the property
Wifi didn't work very well
The shower was real bad. So small with only a curtain. No way to shower without flooding the floor
The moment you are greeted by the owner you feel like you are part of the family coming home to stay. The location is perfect to explore Montepulciano and parking is available for free right near the hotel. We were there only one night, but will return for a longer stay in the Fall.
Not a dislike, but a heads up. Set your GPS for the main entrance to Montepulciano and then to hotel as the GPS sent us to a street you can not go up near the hotel.
The owner
A warm welcome, great hospitality and a fantastic location in the old town, near the piazza. We parked outside the hotel which was convenient. I have no hesitation in recommendIng this hotel and will definitely return.
the location was excellent, right in the middle of the town; the room was clean and comfortable
the staff was too talkative, especially early in the morning
Roberto, his wife and little dog "Rambo" are an "absolutely must meet"! We had an exceptionally warm welcome and tour around the hotel. Our room with four-poster-bed and our own very quaint living-room was a home away from home. Breakfast was homemade and more than you can eat.
Shower was a bit small
Fantastic warm and friendly staff. Very nice rooms/appartments in old atmosphere.Short way to centre.
Extremely difficult to find, even with navigator.
The room is clean and the owner is served with passion. It is enjoyed to eat the breakfast at the courtyard in the old town. The hotel is at the center of the town with reserved free parking.
We only stayed two nights, but left feeling like old friends. We were fortunate in being given (upgraded to?) Room No. 7, which basically felt like a penthouse suite with a private terrace! This is _not_ a five-star hotel (nor does it pretend to be), but we had a lovely experience, and would certainly stay again. It is a lovely family-run place. If you drive up the street at 50km, you'll almost certainly miss the hotel. But if you drive at a sensible speed (probably a good idea in the middle of Montepulciano!) you will see the signs. And the 'backdoor' entrance is a welcome bonus for wandering out. The bathrooms are not at 'Hilton' standards - but at these prices, they're fine.
To be honest, the breakfast was probably (technically) the 'worst' we had in Italy - although this is an unfair comparison as they were all generally very good ("wonderful homemade cake" - it was a week old!!) but Roberto made such a show of the service and presentation that it still felt like a delicious way to start the day!
The staff very friendly, great breakfast. Location few minutes from the main square
It was a bit difficult to find the house, as there are many narrow, one way streets. But this is normal for italian cities, not too big problem
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in the center of the village, close to all restaurants and shops. The room was new, big and lovely.
It was hard to find the place and requires some climbing to get to it. Many stairs within the hotel. The shower was hard to operate, no view of the village from the room. Basic breakfast.
Enthusiastic, passionate owner always willing to please. Clean comfortable room.
Delightful hosts, they make you so welcome, a real home from home.It's unusual to find somewhere to stay with its own terrace, warm with shade and quiet to read. We ate breakfast there every morning!
Noise of evening chatter from dinners on the street, but talking to friends, this is universal in this small narrow town.

You can say this about voice-over actors: They love to talk. One hundred and fifty of Hollywood's busiest performers and casting agents from the often overlooked industry enthusiastically share their stories in the new documentary I Know That Voice, available on VOD platforms and at iTunes starting Tuesday.
Director Lawrence Shapiro was inspired to make the film when he saw how animated (pun intended) fans became when meeting his friend John DiMaggio, voice of the curmudgeonly-yet-beloved robot Bender on Futurama. "I'll admit it, applause is great," says DiMaggio, one of the industry's most popular and prolific stars, whose résumé also includes roles on Adventure Time, The Penguins of Madagascar and Kim Possible. But outside of fan-centric events like Comic-Con, voice actors work in relative obscurity, which motivated DiMaggio to sign on as producer. "I want my peers to get a little bit of recognition. These are some of the most talented people I know, and some of the most brilliant character actors that I know."

One of the most beloved stories of all-time continues with this heartwarming, music-filled adventure (based on the characters from the classic children's book Charlotte's Web by E.B. White). With colorful new characters, 4 brand-new songs, and important messages about friendship and individuality, Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure is timeless family entertainment.

Wilbur shows Cardigan the joys of farm life, and introduces him to three very special spiders--Nellie, Aranea and Joy--Charlotte's daughters. When Farmer Zukerman suddenly sells Cardigan to another farmer, Wilbur realizes what he must do. Joined by a cunning rat named Templeton, Wilbur and Charlotte's daughters set out on an unforgettable journey to find Cardigan...and discover that with courage, heart and the love of your friends, you can do most anything.

Unbeknownst to him, a satellite he launches (okay, it's the kitchen toaster, but it works!) is picked up by an alien species. In the dark of night the aliens fly their war ships-looking like a fleet of rubber chickens to earth and abduct all the parents in Jimmy's hometown of Retroville. So it's up to Jimmy to create a fleet of space ships from the rides at the town's new amusement park (hey, he's a genius, remember?) and launch them into orbit in a bid to rescue the abducted parents of Retroville. But Jimmy better hurry! Because the aliens are preparing to use the parents as human sacrifices! With his robotic dog, Goddard, and his best friend, Carl, by his side, Jimmy and the rest of the kids in Retroville take to the skies on a trip that's sure to be a blast! Featuring the voice talents of Patrick Stewart and Martin Short as the evil King Goobot and his sidekick Ooblar.
Aliens abduct all adults; genius Jimmy and his friends build an interstellar spacefleet and rescue them.

Things are about to heat up — literally — in this week's episode of True Blood when Terry (Todd Lowe) and his war buddy Patrick (Scott Foley) go in search of one of their comrades.
Though Patrick and Terry's story has been off to a slow start this year, it will pick up quickly once we learn what happened to their squad in Iraq through flashbacks. This, of course, is the catalyst for their friend Brian Eller (Brian Geraghty) apparently burning down everyone's homes — though he may not actually be to blame. To get the scoop on what's in store, TVGuide.com turned to Foley, who also discusses his upcoming comedy The Goodwin Games and dying far too many times in his career — Grey's Anatomy, Scream 3 and in Felicity's alternate universe, to name a few...

So why does s/he wake up naked? Did the doc remove the clothes for an operation? Why would he need to do that for a gunshot to the head? And why didn't he give them back?
Magazines and their effects
How can certain magazines like Milsurp and Future Weapons today make you better at using guns as well as True Crime stories which gives you +5% to critical hit chances?
The logistics of New Vegas tourism
So, people from NCR-controlled California come to New Vegas as tourists in order to gamble away their money. Apparently, the only way to do this is to travel on foot with a caravan along the Nipton road - I-95 route, through territory that is not entirely free of dangerous animals and raiders and lately has been threatened by the Legion. Which seems analogous to 18th century town dwellers from the established colonies on the East coast travelling on foot for days or weeks through frontier territory threatened by hostile Indians in order to reach some frontier town in the Ohio valley or some such region where certain vices are legal. This would have been more believable if there actually had been a working railroad that could carry travellers and goods from NCR to Vegas, but that project was halted by the Powder gangers revolt.

Doctors' Monopoly on Addiction Treatment
Addiction is bad, we get that, and part of the trade-off of using buffs is the debuffs you might get. Now, an addiction is something that can be cured with a visit to the doctor and 100 caps. But how come the Courier, who could already be a better physician than most of the wasteland, can't remove his addictions himself? Could he just synthesize some kind of Super-Fixer, which was used in the "High Times" quest with 50 science? Seems like a severe case of Gameplay and Story Segregation. Couldn't it be remedied with a high-end perk, similar to jury rigging in how it requires an almost maxed-out stat?

Why don't the Marked Men just commit suicide?
So, we all know that they are insane cannibals. they feel nothing but hate for the Divide and all that enter. Close to feral ghouls but not quite, they capable of making decisions. For instance, some of the former Legion members model their armor and weapons of Legate Lanius, as a symbol they can hold on to. They can jury-rig scrap metal, road signs and other armor pieces on to their own. Lastly during the epilogue, the Marked Men are among those who avoid the courier either out of respect or fear. They are in constant great pain, only kept alive by the constant radiation, plus their is now no point to their existence beyond killing all those who enter the Divide. So, why don't they just kill themselves?
The Lucky 38 in a non-House route
Not that I don't appreciate it, but I just find it odd that, even if you don't side with House (which invariably means you ultimately kill him), you're still able to use the Lucky 38 as your unofficial "main base". You'd think Victor and the other securitrons would be a tad upset you "betrayed" and offed their boss.
Christine's Abilities
Christine Royce has a lot of disparate and seemingly contradictory traits. She mentions how experiments in the Big Empty cost her the ability to read letters, but she can still do math and equations. Um, okay, this is a universe where radiation makes your skin fall off and cause you to live forever, whatever. When she's then rendered mute, communication is a real bitch, but the confusing things come later.

Increasing Bowling Pin Carry
One positive step you can take in increasing bowling pin carry is to hit the pocket more frequently and more on average than you presently do.
If you improve your pocket percentage on strike deliveries, you can raise your strike potential.
Everyone wants to increase their bowling pin carry. Part of hitting the pocket is the benefit of getting strikes. When you do not strike, however, you leave corner pin spares.
So the relationship of pocket hits to carry percentage also involves not striking on good pocket hits.
The goal of all bowlers is getting a strike. Hitting the pocket at a high percentage rate implies you are a highly skilled and experienced player.
Beginner bowlers and bowlers averaging between 140 -170 are certainly ones who would benefit most from hitting the pocket consistently.
Let's examine some general conclusions about pin carry based on a 2009 study presented at a Expo seminar by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC):
1. Optimal bowling ball Angle of Entry into the pocket (both sides of the lane) is 6 degrees. Four to six degrees is the normal range based upon a given bowlers delivery style.
2. An increase in bowling ball weight from 14 lbs to 15 lbs, as the example, increases pin carry.
3. Bowling ball Exit Angles and Entry Angles were used in the study.
4. The Pin Deck has a greater overall effect on pin carry than does the Kickbacks and the Flat Gutters. The Pin Deck and the Kickbacks are the greatest contributors to pin carry than are the Flat Gutters.
5. On a light pocket hit, the 3 pin carries the ten pin (right handed bowlers) and the ball exits the Pin Deck right of the 9 pin.
6. On a high pocket hit, the head pin hits the 5 pin and the bowling ball exits the Pin Deck hitting the 8 pin.
7. On solid pocket hits, the bowling ball takes out the 1,3,5 and 9 pins by a right handed bowler and the 1,2,5 and 8 pins for left handed bowlers.
These simplified factors presented in the seminar leads us to the conclusion that pin carry varies from bowler to bowler and from session to session.
Pin carry varies with each bowler's ability to hit the pocket repeatedly and with the lanes and machinery involved in setting pins.
Anytime round objects collide, they can deflect at inconsistent angles. Because of this, pin carry will vary as well.
Depending on the ball speed, angles of entry and exit, the axis of Rotation, and bowling ball rev-rate for any given bowler, the pin carry percentages can vary.
Bad racks (poor pin spotting) can also be a factor in pin carry. The pin cells of automatic pinsetters need to be adjusted from time to time as routine maintenance.
If you are a bowler who cannot use a 15 or 16 pound bowling ball, so long as you are able to maintain good ball speed, you can still get a good angle of entry into the pocket and enjoy good pin carry percentages.
You can raise your percentage of pocket hits by working on alignment and adjustment strategies with your coach. Your coach and check, in real time, how you line-up to the pocket based on your delivery style and the lanes where you bowl and suggest adjustments when you fail to hit the pocket.
Since there are too many variables in pin carry even when you do hit the pocket, don't worry about the carry results because they are simply out of your control.
If you hit the pocket and you carry a strike 6 of 10 times, then you are carrying at a good clip. You will see stretches where you carry more than 6 or 10 deliveries and it is in those times where you record high scores.
There are times when you carry less than 60% of the time on pocket hits where you find yourself getting "tapped" far more often than you wish. This is when you must rely on good spare shooting skills to help you maintain good average scores.
In the end, all any bowler can do is to align to the pocket, make a good delivery, and convert the spare if a strike is not recorded.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
This past summer in Israel, especially in the south of the country, Israeli children were extremely traumatised by the ongoing violence emanating from Gaza. With over 5000 rockets and mortars having been fired at Israel's civilian population, children have been especially affected.
In a few weeks we will be celebrating Hanukka - the Festival of Lights. This holiday symbolizes the struggle of Jews against and victory over her enemies at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire of the 2nd century BC. We also celebrate a miracle recorded in traditions where oil found by the Maccabees in a small flask was enough to light the Menorah for eight days. In honor of this historic victory and the miracle of the oil we light candles of the menorah for eight days.
During this holiday, which is especially joyful and enjoyed by children, we at Israel today are planning to cheer up the children of the south by giving them "Hanukka Gift Baskets". In this way that we hope to assist the children of the south overcome and recover from the disastrous effects of this past summer's violence.
We could never do it alone but with your help and support we could "do our bit" and help!
Together we will be able to "step up to the plate" and help the children of Israel's south. For each gift you give you will sponsor 2 Gift Baskets for the children of the south!!
Any day of the week, family chatter and the happy shouts of children fill the air at Mini Israel. In its eleventh year of popularity, the park offers a tour of Israel in miniature. Conveniently situated in the foothills near Jerusalem, and just a half hour from Israel's tourist hub, Tel Aviv, the venue is accessible by car and by bus.
