The hobbyking description was *not* encouraging with sentence like '[full scale original] ...was built to meet the needs of racing pilots' and 'high performance and aerobatic capability.' However that's balanced by 'can be slowed right down offering stable flight characteristics for those looking for a relaxing Sunday flyer.' The thread at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1727422 ha a few 'maiden reviews' that say about the same thing, that it's a hot rod that can behave in a docile manner. Unfortunately there were many comments about bad servos right out of the box which aside from the QC aspects can be discouraging for new folks who don't have spare parts lying around. It sound like it might be a good 2nd plane if maidened and trimmed by someone more experienced. Read the thread and follow the suggestions of those who have already been down that road. Then come back here and give us the 'newbie point of view review' to add to the list. |

Here is the post: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...0#post23104676 This post rated one of the F22 scratch builds. Poster says they even use it as a club trainer. Might be of interest to a new flyer. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=301 I can understand that the number of variables involved in a scratch vs PNP/RxR/etc is greater, but even a novice reviewer can give a hint as to where it might land on the 0-10 scale. |

Flyzone Select Scale Super Cub
Flyzone Select Scale Super Cub: 6.5
Toughness: Heavy airframe and foam construction means serious damage is likely from a hard impact. I tip-stalled from 30 feet and sheared the fuselage at the firewall. On the plus side -- foam safe CA repaired the damage quickly with no other ill effects. Ease of control: 4 channel, and you need to coordinate rudder+ailerons. Very scale behaviour, the Cub does not turn neatly without coordinated controls. Speed: Not a speed demon, but the weight of the airframe requires keeping more throttle on, with a slightly faster cruise than expected. Landing requires a reasonably long final approach, because there are no flaps to permit slower, steeper approaches. Size: Excellent visibility with 48" wingspan and yellow colour scheme. Easy to keep oriented. Big enough to fly in moderate wind, but still fits into the trunk of my Mustang. |

Flyzone Micro Albatros
Flyzone Micro Albatros: 2.25
Toughness: Very light construction, and flying over grass, is a good combination to prevent serious damage from mistakes. Harder impacts (trees, concrete) may cause propellor drivetrain damage (the weak link on this model). Ease of control: 3 channel. Plenty of power and control authority lets you get the plane out of trouble (i.e. recover from a stall, power through a wind gust, navigate obstacles.) Yet the controls are not overly sensitive, preventing much of the over-controlling a new pilot might experience with a quicker plane. Speed: Nice and slow. Lots of lift + lots of drag from the biplane design means this plane will fly very slowly before stalling, and will not disappear like a rocket on full throttle. Flying directly into a steady breeze, you can easily hover this plane. Blip the throttle forward, and off you go again! Size: Tiny size makes this plane susceptible to wind -- don't bother flying in anything more than 5 MPH. It's so small that you COULD lose track of it in the sky, but it flies so slowly that you will rarely fly that far away. You can easily fly circuits around a baseball diamond. At 300 metres, it's tough to see which way the plane is oriented. |

E-flite Jenny JN-4 Slow Flyer 250
E-flite Jenny JN-4 Slow Flyer 250: 4
Toughness: Fragile construction of light foam. Light weight helps prevent damage, but it's not a small plane. There's lots of wing area to catch errant breezes. Wind or overzealous use of elevator will fold the wings, unless the plane is finished with the optional rigging wires (I used fishing line.) Nose-overs are harmless, but firmer impacts may crack the thin foam or the thin plastic cowling. Recommend making three immediate upgrades: rigging, larger wheels (the included wooden wheels do not rotate easily and are a pain to install), and reinforcement for the rudder control point (otherise the foam will bend, leaving you without any rudder authority.) Ease of control: 3 channel, but when there is a breeze it would be nice to have 4 channels. On a dead-calm day, 3 channels gives all the control needed. The plane has generous dyhedral, making a stable platform that loves to fly straight. CG is easily attained. ROG takeoffs and hand launches are both completely uneventful and predictable. Landings are simple, basically just lower the throttle to 1/4 or less and the plane will fly itself down onto the ground. Light weight demands ALWAYS taking off and landing into the wind. Speed: Light weight and lots of drag make for a pleasant slow flyer. Wide open throttle does not greatly increase forward velocity, it mostly increases lift. Leave the throttle between 1/3 and 1/2 and you can lazily circle a soccer field all day long. Size: The relatively large airframe makes it easy to see the flight orientation at all time, and even at full altitude (400 feet) it's very visible. |

Very helpful listing. Thanks for the work compling this Boingk! I was a bit disappointed to not see a rating for the Flyzone Acro Wot Mk 2, but obviously there will be planes that don't get rated right away.
Is the list on the front page being kept current with the ratings proposed through the course of the thread? Hoping so, as I'm not sure I want to wade through the entire thread looking for a specific plane. Also on that point, I noticed that at least one plane is listed twice on the front page under two different ratings - the E-flite Apprentice 15e is lsited as both a 2 and a 4.5. Personally, I'd probably put it at about a 4 - 4.5. It's what I've been flying as my first plane and I've really enjoyed it. I think I've benefited greatly from some serious sim time before first flight with the Apprentice, but in the 6 weeks or so since I started flying I've found it to be quite forgiving and damage tolerant. Dual rates are probably advisable for the novice pilot as well as some supervision/instruction, but I would say it makes for a very good first plane for someone interested in the hobby. |

Not a worry, Snardo - what originally irked me about these lists were that no-one kept them updated... or they did originally and then lost interest.
Its all being kept current by me, and any errors like the one you have pointed out are being fixed along the way. Thanks! I'll enter the Cub, Jenny and Albatross in there as well as the WOT MkII - I agree that it would most likely be above a 3 or 4. Cheers - boingk |

Roxbury over 30 Men's Softball League
The Roxbury Men's over 30 Softball league is a fun yet competitive league for Roxbury and Mount Arlington residents who reach age 30 in the year of competition. The league is sponsored by Roxbury Recreation and has been in existence since 1979. It was originally conceived as an "open" league with no age restrictions but evolved into what is now an over 30 league. And while players must be 30 years of age to participate, although for 2014 each team may have a maximum of two players at age 25, many of the players are in their 40's and 50's.
League eligibility has been modified during the recent past by allowing Township employees as well as graduates of Roxbury High School, and spouses of RHS graduates, to participate in the league. Additionally those players who participated in the league, and then moved out of the Township, have been "grandfathered for league eligibility. Finally each team is now allowed to add up to three (3) players from "out of town" to their rosters but at a cost of $25 per player. League entrance fee per team, paid to Roxbury Recreation, remains at $625 for 2014.
Currently there are eleven teams participating in the league, although there have been upwards of 18 teams in the past. It is recommended that teams have a minimum of 15-20 players on their rosters when coinsidering all the family and work conflicts which can arise for many of the players.
League play typically begins in mid April and continues through the middle of July. A one pitch charity tournament is typically scheduled at the beginning of the season, prior to the start of league play. At the conclusion of the regular season, a double elimination tournament is held to determine the league champion. All teams are eligible to participate in the tournament.

This is an interesting book. The more extensively you have read, the more you probably will like this. Even so, the plot is fanciful and interesting.
Jun 8, 2010
Book lovers, English majors, sci-fi addicts and literature and art aficianados the world over will thoroughly enjoy the world that Fforde creates in this first of the Thursday Next series. Pick up this book! You will love it.
Nov 20, 2007
Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books are wonderfully engaging. The universe they are set in is wonderfully almost plausible. It wasn't written to be thoroughly realistic and convincing. I preferred it greatly over Hitchhiker's Guide because the humor in Eyre Affair is less slapstick and more intellectual. The Eyre Affair is the first book in Fforde's Thursday Next series, which actually get better as they go along, unlike many series.Fun and entertaining.
Nov 16, 2007
?The Eyre Affair? can be described as fantasy-SF-comic-literary-mystery-thriller; it is quite a mouthful, and perhaps Jasper Fforde has bitten off a little more than most people with moderate talent could effectively chew. The blurb compares this book to ?The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?, but unfortunately ?The Eyre Affair? lacks the whimsy of the former. Its narrative style emulates rather than parodies the hardboiled private eye genre, and both the prose and the plot are often dense and turgid. Even halfway through the book one doesn't quite grasp all the intricacies of the intriguing Universe of Thursday Next, and many of the much touted literary in-jokes are either too obvious or too obscure. Also, both the characters, as well as the situations, are too dark to be truly comic but also too flippant to be truly dark. There is no doubt that Jasper Fforde has a unique vision, but somehow, at least for me, he couldn't bring it all together. I guess I will just go back and read the Dirk Gently books again.

This book is amazing. Jasper Fforde takes fantasy and makes it seem real.

Patrice Desilets has officially returned to UbisoftWhen THQ's ashes were cast to the wind, the fate of a lot of staff and franchises wasn't clear. One such person was Patrice Desilets, the former lead designer of the first Assassin's Creed games, but today, Ubisoft has confirmed to Polygon that Desilets is back. When Ubisoft bought over THQ Montreal, it was assumed Desilets and the games he was developing would be taken on by Ubisoft but there was no confirmation at the time. The short statement given to Polygon didn't confirm what Desilets will be working on or what those IPs at THQ Montreal were, though it's safe to say you might see his name pop up in the 30-minute credit sequence at the end of Assassin's Creed IV. Acclaimed game designer Desilets returns to Ubisoft after THQ collapse Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

N'Sayne (Carter J)
Jameson Prescott Bogan Allen (born June 25, 1993), better known by the stage name N'Sayne and other aliases and alter egos, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, violist, saxophonist, and recording engineer. N'Sayne was born in Flint, MI. His parents later moved to Grand Blanc, a small community, in the Flint-area. It was here that he attended Grand Blanc Community High School where he experimented with countless sports, instruments, and activities until he discovered that music would be his love, his career, and his destiny. As a child, he won numerous local talent shows in Pontiac and Detroit as a singer, long before he began listening to Hip-Hop. Spreading thin, he abandoned his extracurricular activities, lost interest in playing his musical instruments, and quit the Football and Track & Field teams that he'd once been a key player. It was all for the love of the game of Hip-Hop. It was at this same time that N'Sayne began to stray away from his upbringing, experimenting with negative influences and associating with the wrong people. Inspired by the likes of Lil Wayne, Kanye West, 2Pac, J.Cole, and Drake, a young N'Sayne studied everything he could about Hip-Hop. Thus creating a unique and diverse style of music that breaks the mold of today's Hip-Hop standard. His music expresses the realities of life, the good and the bad. in a one-of-a-kind and relatable way. From conceptual records to ballads to club bangers, he does it all while remaining to true to who he is. N'Sayne cares about nothing more than building a relationship with his fans in and outside of his music. The love he gets from his fans and supporters is the reason that he is here today. That's who he does it for. After 4 independently mixtapes, his highly anticipated debut album "No Windows" is slated for release on September 23, 2014 through Big Cartel and Datpiff.com It will be something to remember.

Psychiatrist and new mum Katie Dimarco advocates Skype clinics
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 16, 2012
SYDNEY psychiatrist and new mum Katie Dimarco says consulting patients over Skype is a convenient way for mothers to get back into medicine.
Ms Dimarco has offered weekly video consultations from home through GP2U's already existing specialists' service since her baby was born earlier this year.
"For me it fit in in a very flexible way where I could continue to do a small amount of work and I was able to work from home, so it meant I could continue to use my skills without the commitment of joining a practice, renting out rooms and so forth,'' she said.
"I think it's a very flexible option for doctors with young families.''
CEO of Terry White pharmacies Anthony White said the service would not only benefit mothers who work in medicine, but mothers who are patients as well.
"For women medical practitioners who've just had a child, or who can't work the traditional nine to five, they're now able to practice outside of those basic hours,'' he said.
"For patients, it will benefit office workers who are really busy and can't get out of the office to see the GP but have an hour to have lunch and can slip it in in a lunchbreak, also working mothers with children who might find it difficult to get to a GP and areas of Australia that it's very difficult to get into a GP.
"I think for people who've usually got to wait for two weeks or a week, this will be a service that'll be picked up.''
Dr James Freeman said: "Women and men who are at home with children could work some very family friendly hours, so you could offer up appointments for times when your children are in school or childcare and tailor it exactly.
"You won't be constrained to working the traditional hours offered by bricks and mortar clinics, you can work the hours that work for you.''

Which songs are on Radiohead: The Best Of you ask? Well, the usual fare -- "Creep," "Paranoid Android," "High and Dry" -- plus a few unexpected choices: "Anyone Can Play Guitar"? Really? The tracklist begs the question -- are these truly Radiohead's best tracks?

Bobby was conceived in Japan, born in Michigan, is a card carrying Cherokee, is descended from a Polish slave, an African slave, countless European immigrants, and displaced American Indians. He grew up as a military brat, so lived in ten different states and lost count of the schools he attended before finally graduating high school in Texas. After attending the University of Texas, he lived most of his adult life in and around Austin before moving to Colorado in 2012.
Bobby has starved as a guitar player in a penniless metal band, spent too much money as the owner of several successful restaurants, spent years working for "the man" in large companies as a computer programmer, and made and lost more money than he'd like to admit playing in the stock market.
These days, he spends his time walking his dogs, mountain biking, road biking, hiking in the mountains, still writing code for "the man", and chasing his dream of becoming a successful writer.
Review by:
Jim LeMay
on Jan. 18, 2015 :
I'm tired of zombie books, movies, et al. but I'm also a sucker for free books. Glad I read this one for several reasons. The first is the protagonist, Zed, a young man with no particular goal in life. He's flawed but likeable. He faces the advent of this horrible disease cluelessly but adapts, learns and grows.
I also found the disease more believable than usual. It's more complex than most "Z-Diseases" with various levels of infection. Zed for example, is one of the slow-burners, who contract the disease but remain mostly normal. Interestingly, he is able to walk among the infected brain-fried (usually) without danger.
Other interesting characters appear and interrelate believably. The story is a page turner with the right mix of violence and compassion with a sense of menace always lurking in the background.
The only distraction (a minor one) was the book's need for more careful editing.

on Oct. 30, 2014 :
This tale starts with Zed, a disengaged young man, waking and going to beg his Mother and partner for the rent money. He has a bad relationship with them, but even so he does not expect to find what he does. He may feel he does not feel emotions, but clearly he has a moral compass as despite the injury he gets fighting off his step-father, he calls the police.
The remainder of the book is about how Zed deals with the changing circumstances around him with little knowledge or insight, trusting people to find this is repaid or not with little understanding of what might happen.
He learns and grows. He is a great character whom I liked from the word go. Bobby Adair builds the scenario relentlessly. Within the bizarre situation, what is known and discovered makes sense. The danger is omnipresent with some small lulls to give you a chance to relax before the next onslaught. Great writing, a real page turner.
I have just purchased the next two books to find out what happens next. However, even if you can only get this free book one, the story is sufficient to itself.

Review by:
on April 10, 2014 :
Going to eat at his mother's house and beg her for rent money is not high on Zed's list of fun days out-neither is finding her mauled and his zombie stepdad biting him. After passing out from the fever of the infected bite and ending up arrested for murder, Zed is in jail when all hell breaks loose in town. Even if he can escape, is there anywhere safe?
I liked Zed. He is the original anti-hero, a guy who is a bit of a waster and scrounges money from his parents, and knows pretty much nothing about surviving prison or zombie apocalypses. He has no clue how to identify a brand of weapon never mind use a gun, which is refreshing, or how to hot wire cars. He relies on Murphy to help him escape. Murphy is a great character and I get the image of Michael Clarke Duncan(The Green Mile, Armageddon)when I think of him. Zed and Murphy are well developed characters who aren't superheroes, who get things wrong and who get into trouble. They are believable and real, and this is part of why I liked the book. You are certainly rooting for them, which is a must in a zombie book!
It's not easy to find a different kind of zombie plot without it going too far away from traditional zombies, but this book has something different. There are those who are infected and die straight away, coming back as zombies. Then there are those like Zed who survive the initial infection-'slow burners' who aren't zombies but they aren't fully human now either and nobody knows when they will turn so nobody trusts them. Slow burners can evade the zombies in some cases but not in others which was intriguing. We get a small bit of back story on the outbreak in Africa without info dumps or lots of scientific stuff-for the most part Zed and the reader are both guessing about what else is happening with government and infection rates.
The plot itself is good. This is a zombie book that is FULL of zombie attacks and dangerous situations, sneaking around looking for supplies, rescues, crazy plans...all the things you want in your book. The action sequences are well written and explosive and there is a good mixture of gore and tension throughout. I'm hoping to get a look at the second part depending on price but I recommend this to traditional zombie and horror fans. 3.5 stars!

on Sep. 08, 2013 :
I might be biased since it was officially my first Zombie book, but I can honestly say that I loved it and every time I put my Ereader aside, it called me back. I wanted to know what would happen next.
This is not your regular horror story as we see what happens in the first POV through the eyes of a slow burn: one that has been infected but is somewhat resisting the disease.
Zed is a regular guy, not interested in the news, so when all this happened he was taken by surprise. Albeit all that, he never gave up. He is a stand up guy, faithful to his new friend Murphy even though most human beings would have ran and tried to save their own life at some point. So over all, I liked the main character. It is easy to put yourself into his shoes.
The story reads well. Bobby Adair has a great explanation on how the epidemic started, which makes it plausible (and scary). I would recommend this book for any fan of Zombies, Epidemic or End of the world genre and to any one who likes a good story. I am looking forward to read the second installment.

Review by:
Lena Ski
on Aug. 11, 2013 :
It's been a while since I tucked into a Horror, but I sure am glad that I did...
Slow Burn: Zero Day makes a bang as the official welcome to the end of the world. It's an intense, epic and apocalyptic saga. It winds itself around you- leaving you in suspense on every page.
You've been bitten! So you might as well just go with it (right from the get go).
Giving myself a moment to catch my breath before putting the proverbial pen to paper, what emerged for me was every nuance that was embedded in this read.
This is a story of suspended suspense, limbo, fear, disgust and the unknown. It's about our own struggle to survive our inner wars. The kinds of wars that and gorge us from our sadistic, primal, animal-self in favor of the human-spirit. In that space, it speaks to endurance, control, hope, faith and the choice to carry on being human.
It's interesting to read something like this from the perspective of a character who finds himself caught between two worlds. This in itself takes the classic Zombie story to a whole new level. As much as the reader learns to hate the Zombie, there's a sort of affection towards Zed as he moves through the page between states of life and death.
Sure it's got all that rah-rah grrrrr of blood and gore, shadows and grunts, which you would typically associate with a zombie cult piece. So if you're into just that ... you'll be find delight in it. And if you're squeamish or faint of heart, somehow you'll read it as nothing out of the ordinary. It's just part of staying alive. A necessary evil.
Prepare to tuck yourself in as the world falls apart.

Both at their maximum at the time. (Pre adult DB Goku and Pre Shippuden Sasuke)
No senzu beans
Takes place on random Grassy Flat Land
@taichokage: Of course he would.
@SpeedForceSpider said:
Kid Goku destroys him. He is too fast and powerful.
@ohgodwhy said:
Kid Goku wins this with little difficulty. I'll refer you to the fight between Roshi and Krillin where in a split second they did all kinds of stuff and even had time for a game of rock paper scissors.
Yes, there is that, but then there's also the more impressive feat of Roshi being shown to easily catch the bullets from machine-gun fire, and Goku was giving him a good fight. It wouldn't be exaggerating to say Goku is hypersonic at this point, and I won't even get started on strength/power.
@Dream said:
Goku slaughters the Uchiha.
@jazmac: Not an exaggeration at all. You could make this current Sasuke and Goku still wins.
Wait, Sasuke with curse mark as well? If so then Goku.
Sharingan could help follow his movements, as it did against Haku.However, It's Goku's everything that just nukes the debate. You can take your pick with speed, strength, durability, ect (because I can't think of anything additional to that list). He can avoid just about all Sasuke's attacks, and if he didn't then they aren't doing much damage. Goku's massive strength keeps the fight being ended in one blow, two or three being generous.
P.S. I'm going to add skill to that to that list I made.
@DBZ_universe: Yeah he looks cool and his effects are nice to, his first effect is a bit meh (6 counters is alot at first) but his second effect is where he shines imo :) if you have an Spell Counter or Spellbook focussed Deck you are recycling like a beast so the discard is an nonfactor and you can keep killing your opponent.

Degree Type: Bachelor of Arts
College(s): Arts and Sciences
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Biochemistry at Ferris provides a core of chemistry courses that includes organic, inorganic, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. These courses take the student through the atomic and molecular nature of matter and ultimately focus on the behaviors of matter in living systems. The chemistry is supported by solid coursework in mathematics, physics and biology. It stresses breadth with fewer required chemistry courses than a Bachelor of Science degree but good scientists also need to be exposed to the arts, the social sciences, and humanities. Biochemistry students should have a particular interest in and aptitude for science, especially as it pertains to living systems, and a desire to explore the connections with other fields of knowledge. Advanced students may participate in independent study and undergraduate research projects.
In these days of rapid advances in the biosciences-from genetically engineered agricultural products to artificial photosynthesis to DNA fingerprinting-there are few careers that have no connection to chemistry and biochemistry. A BA in Biochemistry can prepare a student for a number of professional schools including medical, dental, veterinarian, even law school. Biochemists are often employed as research assistants in industry, government, education and health service. It can also be a very useful degree for individuals who are considering careers in interdisciplinary fields, for example, marketing new technologies, technical writing/communication, forensic analysis and so on. A major in biochemistry provides an education in a dynamic field with applications to suit a wide variety of personal career goals.
First year student admission is open to high school graduates (or equivalent) who demonstrate academic preparedness, maturity and seriousness of purpose with educational backgrounds appropriate to their chosen program of study. High school courses and grade point average, ACT composite score, and ACT reading and mathematics subscores will be considered in the admission and placement process. Transfer students must have at least 12 credits at the time of application with a minimum 2.0 overall GPA including an English and mathematics course, or they must provide their high school records and ACT scores for admission review.
In order to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, a student must complete a minimum of 122 credit hours including the Biochemistry major, the BA core, an academic minor in another field of study, and all general education requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree. No grade lower than 'C' will count toward the major.

Country Singers to Release Buddy Holly Tribute
Six country singers are preparing to release 'The Buddy Holly Country Tribute: Remember Me.'
Six country singers are preparing to release 'The Buddy Holly Country Tribute: Remember Me.'
The 2014 ACM Awards have passed, but the presenting of awards isn't over. Carrie Underwood, Kris Kristofferson and Merle Haggard are just a few artists that are set to receive ACM Honors nods off camera.
Country was well represented at this year's Grammy awards. In addition to Kacey Musgraves picking up two awards for best country album and best country song, a number of stars performed. Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Blake Shelton sang a medley of hits. Miranda Lambert was joined by Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong to pay tribute to the late Phil Everly. Keith Urban performed his new song 'Cop Car' with Gary Clark Jr. Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes all sang new songs.
The 2014 Grammy Awards are about to get countrified! Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Blake Shelton are teaming up for a star-studded performance, making the evening an iconic show of country pride.
Many years and several pounds ago as I began working in radio, a job offer at country radio seemed to good to pass up. But country? It was Merle Haggard that helped make it palatable, then I found Hank Williams Jr. Now the two icons combine to remake one of Merle's legendary songs, 'I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink.' Watch the just released official lyric video with some looks behind the scenes.
Esquire is paying tribute to the American man and Tad Pole joins Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson in the 'Life of Man' issue that commemorates the magazine's 80th anniversary. See photos and video of 80 accomplished men, one born in each year of Esquire's history. Young. Old. Rich. Poor. Presidents. Movie legends. Rock stars. Space babies. Now, even Radio Announcers.
Meeting George Jones was a career highlight for almost every country singer. Even legends like Randy Travis and Reba McEntire treasure the photos they have with the singer. Today, stars have been sharing their favorite moments with Jones, who died at the age of 81 years old this morning.
We have a special theme for today's "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m., saluting you, the American worker on Labor Day. And we've got two great songs to do that. We begin with Alabama's number one song in 1985 "Forty Hour Week (For A Livin')". We'll finish the Double with Merle Haggard's "Workin' Man Blues", a number one back in 1969.
Merle Haggard is one of the "Outlaws" of country music, and his music reflects working class Americans. On this day in 1969, Merle's "Workin' Man Blues" was the number one country song in the nation, and you'll hear it on today's "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m.
I usually like to save "Working Man Blues" by Merle Haggard for Labor Day's "Country Classic Double", but on this day back in 1969, the song entered the country charts on its way to number one. And to be fair, I'm sure if that song were recorded today it would include the working woman too.
"Hello Twitter. #FirstTweet." That's how Merle Haggard kicked off his new Twitter account yesterday afternoon — but after his inaugural greet tweet, things just got, well, kind of weird.
Today we're honoring "The Bakersfield Sound", as it was called on our "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m. We begin with Buck Owens and his number one song from 1964, "My Heart Skips A Beat". We finish up with Merle Haggard's "Workin' Man Blues", a number one hit in 1969. The "Bakersfield Sound" was a certain style associated with artists from Bakersfield, California.

Note: This article was originally published in April 2005. It was created at a time when African music was on the cusp of becoming an increasingly large part of the Western pop culture landscape. Portions of it have been updated to reflect changes in the past five years-- particularly changes in the number of compilations and labels available. Unlike last week's article on contemporary sounds in West Africa, this one is largely devoted to reissue and cratedigging culture, to the great African music of the previous couple of generations.
The Africa 100 section, in which author Joe Tangari creates an imagined introduction to Afrobeat, highlife, and a few other large strains of African pop music has not had its selections altered; however, we have added Lala links to many of the entries.
Afropop music is a sound and a movement, music and a state of mind. It's the joyous awakening of a continent from a colonial nightmare and the crushing realization that the nightmare isn't over yet, anguish and happiness whipped together with traditional drums, cheap guitars, and even cheaper amps.
This article isn't an attempt to tell the whole story of African music; it's an account of the time I've spent exploring the popular sounds of 1960s and 70s Africa. It's not the easiest music to fall deeply in love with, in part because it comes from a place most Westerners aren't close to understanding, a continent obscured by our misconceptions, prejudices, and expectations of "world music." The other difficulties are more practical: The most fertile period for African funk, soul, rock, and jazz lasted from 1965 to 1982, a time of great upheaval in Africa, and much of this music wasn't recorded. Of that which was put to tape, if the masters still exist, they're likely significantly degraded by decades of neglect.
For what has been recovered, distribution can be spotty, and the shop that has two things you're looking for is usually missing four other things you want to check out. Compilers of these sounds must track down the musicians, hunt out masters in forgotten, crumbling pressing plants, and sift through bins of scratched, dusty vinyl in the markets of Accra, Conakry, and Lagos looking for the lost slab of brilliant funk or the 45 with the highlife A-side and the totally unexpected fuzz-rock B-side. The rewards of those efforts have been huge, though, and I'm pleased this music is increasingly getting the spotlight it deserves.
From Sea to Shining Sea Music in West and East Africa (a disclaimer)
Afropop was a wide-ranging phenomenon, but the primary geographic area I've been exploring extends from Senegal in West Africa, along the Atlantic coast to Nigeria and Cameroon, and then over to Ethiopia and Kenya, with a detour or two to South Africa. This is an immense area, and the flavor in each country is quite different, from Kenya's rough-and-tumble funk to South Africa's sleek sophistication to the wild experimentation of Ghanaian funk and fusion bands.
The decision to leave out most of Central and North Africa is partly practical and partly a matter of taste. The sound of central Africa is focused on variants of soukous, the Congolese form of Cuban rumba that dominated popular music there for much of the 20th century, and I haven't really had enough time to hear an appreciable amount of it. It also bears little resemblance to either Fela's Afrobeat or any other tangentially related African pop music. Similarly, topography-- namely the Sahara Desert-- separates Mediterranean Africa from the rest of the continent, and the culture there is more Arabic than African. Raï, Andaluse, and other North African styles are singular, and though a bit of cross-pollination is inevitable, it's really an altogether separate world.
NB: For an introduction to soukous, try Franco (2), Tabu Ley Rochereau, and Mbilia Bel.
Highlife Time A Bit of History
Afropop is fusion music in the truest sense, incorporating elements of essentially any available source material. Loosely speaking, the Afrobeat of Fela and other early practitioners like Orlando Julius Ekemode was a modernization of the dance-band highlife that dominated the popular music of Anglophone African countries such as Ghana and Nigeria. Highlife was a general term given to several styles of music that were themselves fusions of Western ballroom and swing music, Trinidadian calypso, Liberian sailors' songs, palmwine guitar music (so called because of the drink imbibed at events where it was played), and-- most importantly-- local rhythms. The greatest highlife star was E.T. Mensah, whose tours of West Africa with his Tempos Band spread the music far and wide. He's credited with introducing it to Nigeria, and his concerts with Louis Armstrong are among the earliest seeds of Afrobeat.
These new musical hybrids emerged at the same time as the Civil Rights movement in the U.S. and the decolonization of Africa by European powers, beginning on March 6, 1957, with the independence of Ghana under the pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah. American jazz, soul, and funk became outlets for politics and expressions of black pride. James Brown visited the continent several times, and a listen to any Afrobeat compilation reveals his influence. By the end of the 60s, the optimism spurred by independence had dimmed considerably as some initially democratic governments calcified into autocratic regimes, as economies stagnated, militaries took power, and currencies plummeted in value. Nkrumah, a great thinker and activist, wasn't adept at governing and was overthrown in a coup in the wake of some disastrous economic policy decisions and a declaration of himself as president-for-life.
It was against this backdrop that Fela took his band, Koola Lobitos, to Britain and the U.S., where he read the writings of Malcolm X and befriended members of the Black Panthers. When he returned home, his band had been renamed Africa '70 and he embarked on the long, wild course of loud, unflinching criticism of corruption and ineptitude in African government that cemented his legend and kept the Nigerian authorities exasperated until his death from AIDS in 1997.
Fela Music Is the Weapon
Overstating Fela's position in African music would be difficult, and in Afrobeat specifically it would be impossible-- his contemporaries lived in his shadow, and newspapers referred to him on a first-name basis. Fela frequently fought with Nigeria's military governments, believing that inept or cruel local government was no better than inept, cruel governance from abroad. In Stephane Tchal-Gadjieff and Jean Jacques Flori's great 1982 documentary Music Is the Weapon, Fela-- sitting in a tattered chair in his communal home-- expressed his belief that blacks oppressing blacks in Nigeria is worse than whites oppressing blacks in South Africa, because it's more insidious: It's more difficult to comprehend your oppression when the obviousness of racism is removed from the equation, he theorized.
So much has already been written about Fela that it seems fruitless to rehash his biography, as fascinating as it is. Though he made huge sums of money from his music, he chose to live in a dilapidated Lagos compound-- his Kalakuta Republic-- with his wives and band members, and he disdained the Nigerian elites who ignored the city's massive slums and rampant crime. He also saw Christianity and Islam as destroyers of an African way of life and predicated his lifestyle, including his controversial polygamy, on a return to African spirituality. His album art spills over with these ideas: The imams and priests on the cover of Shuffering & Shmiling lord over piles of money near the words "Why Not African Religion?", while he blows bubbles containing the words and phrases "Pan-Africanism," "Total Emancipation," "Freedom," and "Justice" from his sax on the cover of No Agreement.
Fela sang most of his epic songs in pidgin English to reach as wide an audience as possible-- Nigeria's Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and Fulani communities could all understand it, and it exported easily to other English-speaking countries. And of course, there's his sound: Eighteen-minute epics riding endless polyrhythmic grooves, massive horn sections and choirs, incessant guitar ostinatos, and Fela's furious baritone. The arrangements were intricate, but left room for the accomplished soloists of the Africa 70 and his later band the Egypt 80. Fela's stage presence was mesmerizing, whether he wore his lime-green or aqua blue jumpsuits or just his underwear, his pink, cowrie-shell encrusted sax glistening as it hung from his neck.
Singing in pidgin English had other advantages for Fela, as he was a great lover of wordplay and fluently bilingual-- he claimed in an interview with guitarist Keziah Jones that English is Yoruba "wrongly spoken." "Society" is just another way of spelling the Yoruba "so si ayiti," loosely translated as "tied in such a way that it appears free," he claimed. Often he was less subtle: The cover of his V.I.P. album has "Very Important Persons" crossed out and replaced with "Vagabonds in Power" and he repurposed the acronym of multinational information conglomerate I.T.T. to stand for "International Thief Thief."
Fela's outspoken stance made his life difficult and often tragic. In 1975, police arrived at his house intending to plant marijuana on him and book him for possession, but he confounded them by eating the joint. When they arrested him to get an incriminating stool sample, he merely swapped with another prisoner and walked away a free man, detailing the whole ordeal on Expensive Shit. His 1977 album Zombie, a furious critique of the military, prompted an attack on his compound that destroyed his home and left his mother with fatal injuries. Instead of backing down, he delivered her coffin to an army barracks and wrote Coffin for Head of State, a scathing indictment of the militarys brutal repression. On his defiance in the face of tyranny, he had this to say in Music Is the Weapon: "My name is Anikulapo... I can't die. They can't kill me." Fela replaced his given middle name Ransome with Anikulapo in the late 70s. Anikulapo means, roughly, "he carries death in his pouch."
About the only thing keeping Fela from a lifetime in prison was the instability of the Nigerian government itself. Whenever he was jailed, a new regime would release him when it came to power. He remained an activist to the end of his life, never compromising his beliefs or positions to accommodate anyone. It's said that more than a million people attended his funeral, but whatever the numbers, Fela was the king of Afrobeat, and no one else comes close to that claim.

One of the activities in the capital that both locals and tourist like to do is having fun at parks. This is the same anywhere else in the world as in the French capital city, where the famed Parc de Bercy can be found. The area that is now covered by the park was once a bustling center for wine importation and storage in Paris, until the decline it experienced in the 1960's. It was here that the wine arrived by barge and train. You can still see train rails now in the park's pathways.
The Parc de Bercy has a beautiful garden with lines of plants that include a small vineyard at the center and wide lawns at one end. This garden has replaced the warehouses that have long been abandoned. There are also landscaped hills in the park that come complete with ponds and fountains, which makes the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy or the Paris-Bercy Multipurpose Sports Arena a bit better to look at. Among the activities in Paris that you could take part in the park is listening to Paris' own story of the wine.

Houston — Johnny Manziel, who redshirted his first year at Texas A&M but went on to win the 2012 Heisman Trophy, did not make headlines on National Signing Day 2011.
Manziel, who will be one of the top quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL draft, did earn some praise from then Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman during his signing day press conference.
Sherman anticipated Manziel making an immediate impact, but not at quarterback.

LA JOLLA, Calif., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Frozen Food Gift Group Inc. (OTC BB: FROZ), the only publicly traded company that sends specialized ice cream gift products via the Internet for delivery anywhere in the U.S. ( www.SENDaSCOOP.com), today announced that it has purchased Miami Ice Machine Company ( www.MiamiIceMachine.com) for $880,000 in restricted stock.
Miami Ice Machine Company is a leading provider of quality refrigeration equipment of all types, including walk-in refrigerators and freezers, with over 50 years of operation.
"We purchased this Company because it fits into our distribution model for frozen food products. Miami Ice Machine Company is a well-run company with a strong reach in a local area, with a business model that can be replicated nationally," said Jonathan Irwin, Frozen Food Gift Group Chief Executive Officer.
"We believe this is an excellent acquisition for our investors because it provides a platform for much wider distribution of frozen food equipment, products and service. Many businesses with fantastic products struggle without the proper distribution channels and we focused on this very platform as the first step. We expect to expand their local model nationally and use this supply chain to introduce various new products and services to the market. Miami Ice Machine Company has designed industry-leading equipment that deserves a national footprint," said Mr. Irwin.

Heather Watson saw her Sony Open Tennis challenge ended in the opening round with a straight-sets defeat to French qualifier Virginie Razzano.
The 21-year-old Briton, who was a wild card in Miami, had reached the second round in Indian Wells two weeks ago - including a victory over Razzano during qualifying - but was unable to match that as she fell to a 6-4 6-0 loss in 71 minutes.
Ranked 40 places lower than her opponent at 121 in the world, Watson gained the edge in a nervy opening to take a 3-1 lead, only for Razzano to reel off the next three games.
Watson broke again to level at 4-4 but errors continued to creep into her game and the Frenchwoman scored the decisive break in game nine before holding to see out a topsy-turvy first set in 43 minutes.
The Briton's game then crumbled in the second set, which was wrapped up with very little fuss by Razzano.
Double faults and a poor shot selection failed to help Watson, whose first-serve percentage was just 14 while her only two break-point opportunities were brushed aside before the Frenchwoman clinched the contest on serve and with her first match point.
Vekic through
In the day's other games, Croatian teenager Donna Vekic beat Japan's 43-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm 7-6 (7-2) 6-2.
The evergreen Asian veteran reaching the Miami final in 1995 - 15 months before her 17-year-old opponent was even born.
China's Peng Shuai defeated Czech Karolina Pliskova 7-5 6-0 while American Vania King 'double-bageled' Spaniard Estrella Cabeza Candela 6-0 6-0.
Swede Rebecca Peterson eliminated Germany's Mona Barthel, who retired with a stomach complaint while trailing, 6-4 4-2.
American Lauren Davis, who reached the fourth round last week in Indian Wells, advanced over China's Zhang Shuai 6-2 6-3.
Russian Nadia Petrova defeated Ursula Radwanska 7-5 1-6 6-4 while American qualifier Coco Vandeweghe beat Marina Erakovic of New Zealand 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) and Christine McHale came through against China's Zheng Jie 6-4 6-2.
