World of Kung Fu
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
World of Kung Fu Overview
World of Kung Fu is a relatively new free MMORPG. Although the game is another 'fantasy' title, it is extremely polished and has an incredible amount of overall content, ranging from crafting skills to end-game 'instances'. The game's auto-movement feature and fair amount of in-game quests also enhance the gameplay. If you're looking for a polished 'new' free MMORPG, World of Kung Fu just may be for you. The game's nine available weapons are:
Sword – Swords are the simplest of weapons and the most balanced.
Hook - Hooks users posses powerful recovery and regeneration skills.
Fan - Fan users are experts in Leechcraft and healing arts. They tend to have lower hit points than the other classes in the game.
Hammer & Axe - Hammer & Axe users are warriors of great power, with the ability to deal large amounts of damage within melee range.
Broadsword - Broadsword users have low defense, but incredibly high attack power.
Spear - Spear users are capable of using many deadly area-of-effect skills, and tend to have high attack power.
Staff – Staff users are powerful in both defense and offense. They are capable of stunning their opponents and dealing damage quickly.
Bow -Bow users are capable of dealing damage from a distance, but are vulnerable in melee combat.
Fist – Fist users are capable of dealing large amounts of damage through area-of-effect skills, but generally have less hit points than other classes.

World of Kung Fu Review
By Cody 'Neramaar' Hargreaves
I love Kung Fu. Always have, probably always will. It's not that I enjoy watching elderly Asian fellows breaking each other's bones in lethal hand-to-hand combat as such; I simply admire the patience and discipline involved, mostly because I possess neither. I've tried Karate, Tai Kwon Do, and Ninjitsu – but didn't last very long in any of them. I wanted to learn to kill people with one finger, but didn't want to spend the next eighty years of my life doing it. Thus, the next logical step was video games; video games like World of Kung Fu.
World of Kung Fu – an MMORPG set in ancient China, when martial arts and Kung Fu reigned supreme – it isn't exactly the game I was looking for when it came to fulfilling my desires as a Kung Fu master, but it was pretty damn close, and a hell of a lot of fun to boot. It wasn't through lack of trying that World of Kung Fu failed to fulfill my desires, but more so because it was a generic MMORPG like Last Chaos and 9Dragons. The playstyle in the game is identical to almost every other MMORPG on the market – kill enemies, complete quests, and level up. There is, however, some fantastic innovation to be found in the content.
World of Kung Fu begins with the creation of your very own well-trained martial artist. Due to the nature of the game and its environment, Human is the only available race, and instead of choosing a class, you will be asked to choose a weapon. There are nine available weapons to choose from (Spear, Staff, Hammer & Axe, Bow, Fist, Broadsword, Fan, Sword and Hook), and each of them differ greatly from the next. This system is similar to the weapon selection system in Silkroad Online, as players also start by selecting a starting weapon. They each act as a separate class of their own, offering a unique set of skills and abilities that can be purchased throughout the course of the game.
Knowing which does what, however, is a difficult task in and of itself, as the developers have provided little in the way of explanation. Players will more than likely choose a weapon (and thus, their class) purely on how it looks; making for an uneasy start to the game, as each weapon is truly different from the next, and each have their own unique set of aptly-named skills. The sword, for example, is a high-damage output class that offers players skills such as Three Bull Strike and the Shining Cricket Leap, whereas the Fan offers more in the way of healing, with skills like the Dancing Butterfly Fan, or the Seven Buddha Smile. As expected, a plethora of additional skills are available for purchase as players progress through the game.
The remaining elements of the character customization process are equally impressive, with a large variety of different face, hair and feature options at your disposal. You begin in a small town surrounded by various martial arts trainers, and soon after begin a lengthy, yet thorough tutorial that should see you through your next hour of play. The tutorial provides instruction for many elements of the game, beginning with simple movement and auto-run features, and expanding into quests, killing, and crafting.
As I mentioned previously, the core gameplay elements in World of Kung Fu hold little innovation, and players experienced in any other MMORPG will find themselves right at home, as the movement, combat, and crafting elements offer little variation to the norm. The content, however, is vastly different to any other MMO I have experienced before, and in more ways than one. The graphics are fantastic, and the world is really quite beautiful. The character animations are equally impressive, offering each skill and ability their own unique animation fitting the style. Even a simple bow attack saw my character shooting in a three-part process, with amazing fluidity.
The fluidity in World of Kung Fu is key, as it allows a seamless playing experience. Many free-to-play MMORPGs seem rigid in both movement and combat, and this is happily not shared here. Many of the items are also highly innovative, ranging from something as simple as a pig that collects your loot automatically, to the amazing Tiger Dragon Mount that is sure to dazzle even the most pessimistic of players. However, many of these items must be purchased from the cash shop, requiring real money to obtain. Fortunately the prices are quite reasonable, and the items do little to break the overall game balance.
Fortunately, and again, uncommon to find in a free-to-play MMORPG, World of Kung Fu has much to offer in the way of 'end-game' content for higher level players. The expansive dungeons are worth note, as they share similarity with those found in the popular World of Warcraft, and are filled with dangerous encounters and epic boss battles. The reputation system, whereby players can earn reputation in a chosen country by completing quests and defeating enemies, also offers much to players of a higher level, as not only can they earn special titles to show their progression, but once the required reputation quota has been met, they are given the option to become a registered citizen, and in some cases, even king.
A new king is chosen every week for every country according to the player with the highest reputation, and being chosen offers players some fantastic options, such as the possession of the Dragon Armor, and the ability to cast incredible buffs on their citizens at whim. Guilds (or Schools, as they are called in World of Kung Fu), also play a large part of this role, as players can earn a large amount of reputation by participating in school PvP battles.
PvP is a core element in World of Kung Fu, as provided they are above level twenty and outside of town, players are free to attack each other as they see fit. The school-based PvP battles are clearly the highlight, but the open world PvP adds much to the gameplay too, as you are rarely safe from harm. This encourages players to work together and play in a group to avoid such conflict, or to cause it.
Final Verdict: Great
World of Kung Fu adds little to the genre with it's 'tried and true' playstyle, but is clearly a leading contender when compared to others of a similar style. Its magnificent graphics and character animation help to bring the world alive and keep players immersed, while the overall fluidly ensures that the action is never far away.

Japanese Rolled Omelet (Tamagoyaki)
I have gone Japanese food crazy lately. It all started after my recent trip to Tokyo. While I always have food crushes, this time it's more substantial. I am motivated to learn more about Japanese cuisine and to understand the basic techniques of making Japanese food, precisely Japanese home cooking.
My current love affair with Japanese food has gotten me some new kitchen utensils: a daikon grater, a tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) pan, and a sushi mat. I have also bought a couple of new Japanese cookbooks: Kaiseki Cookbook and Japanese Homestyle Cooking. (Both are great cookbooks!) And my pantry is now choked full of Japanese ingredients: sansho (Japanese variation of Sichuan peppercorn), konbu/kombu (dried kelp), bonito flakes, ponzu, and more miso.
For the past two weeks, I have been reading through my new cookbooks and testing out various Japanese recipes. As a home cook, the process of experimenting with unfamiliar ingredients and new techniques is inspiring. It has been very fun and fulfilling. I enjoy every minute of it.
I am a big fan of Japanese rolled omelet or tamagoyaki–the slightly sweet but delicate omelet that is often packed into Japanese bento boxes and also served at sushi bars as tamago nigiri. I love its aesthetic: yellow and all rolled up in a small package that is easily picked up with a pair of chopsticks. Plus, the taste is utterly delicious and unlike any omelets I have ever tasted!
The first time I tried making tamagoyaki, I failed in its shape and form even though I got the recipe right. There is a specific technique–a skill if you will–in making Japanese rolled omelet or tamagoyaki. My second attempt was a success, not a perfect execution yet, but I got it right. I still need to work on its presentation, the texture and consistency of each layer, and also the heat.
Anyway, I did capture some pictures of the step-by-step process for tamagoyaki, but do refer to the video clips here and here for a better guide.

I've been trying to make Japanese omelet for a while but I'm not that good at it yet. Yours looks great!
Delicious! I love tamagoyaki! My tamagoyaki pan has not been used since my purchase a few months ago. Japanese food is yummy and looks delicate :)
Nicely done! So you're on a Japanese food kick huh? Maybe we should trade Malaysian cooking techniques for Japanese;-) I've always wanted to get better at cooking Malaysian food!
Really wonderful and perfectly rolled! Great pictures too!
Well done bee! I think Lunch In a Box also has a demo of the process. I was a little skeptical of tamago at first (I'm not a fan of eggs), but once I tasted them, I loved them!
I'm a big fam of Japanese food as well…sushi in particular :) Tamago is always one of the things we order. I am too wimpy to try it out at home though! Bravo to you and this tamago omelet looks perfect!
Oh, I forgot to say: Kaiseki is crazy-beautiful but it is also crazy CRAZY! I wouldn't know the first thing about procuring 90% of the ingredients in that book :O
anything to get new cooking gear! lol! i really enjoy japanese food too – but for some reason do not cook it too often at home. but i am hoping to take a few lessons from you. to start with i think i will try this one tonight!
The step-by-step pictures are helpful! I (my Japanese friend taught me)used normal fyring pan to cook Tamago before.I poured 1/3of the egg and rolled to the frying pan's side. Once slightly cook, poured another round of the egg and rolled again. Continue until finished. Slowly builded up a thick Tamago. A bit messy but tasted deliciously!
Your Tamago is very beautiful! Makes me want to invest tamagoyaki pan.
I've seen these little pans in my Asian supermarket and been tempted to buy one, but never have. Now, with a good method for making the omelets, I might just have to treat myself, too!
I also made tamagoyaki today but am still not skillful enough to roll out the egg like yours. Luvly rolls!
That looks yummy, though I don't know if I want to attempt that anytime soon (I'm still not over my Chinese and Indonesian cooking phase.) But there's another great book, called Japanese Cooking, A Simple Art by Shizuo Tsuji … and even though it's a bit old, it has great illustrations of step-by-step process and a lot of yummy recipes, along with sauces and dressings.
:) I don't need to write long comments or so… just send me the tamagoyaki.
Hi, I am Tennen-Perman,E-mail from Japan.
I visited your site sometimes so far.
You have a cool site.
I linked your site in my blog.
I administer a blog talking about cooking.
Please link to my site in your ones if you like it.
thank you!
Ah you've inspired me to take out my japanese cookbook and cook something special too!
Please do 1 japanese steamed egg recipe for us! Thanks in advance!
wow i like how it looks. it must be yummy!
wow, these are some perfect looking tamagoyaki! I like the picture too.
Can't wait to see your posts on more Japanese food in the near future!
ive really enjoyed reading your posts on Japanese food! I've got a Japanese-food-crush myself, so its exciting to see other people's interest.
I thought you may be interested in one of my favorite online Japanese shops – Ichiban Kan – a very inexpensive Japanese type dollar store. If you're at all interested in bento, or even fun stuff for around the house and kitchen, check it out. Its my newest obsession ;)
keep up the great work!
this is impressive!!! i am a newbie here.. i like to cook and bake too.. but i am still very fresh on this.. i am so envy of you to be so capable in making so many nice dishes!! ur entries always make me drool..
i am a big fans to japanese food too.. =D i guess i am going to try this very soon!!!
p/s: will you be posting any recipe on how to make nice chawan mushi??!!? =D
Aah .. now i know how its done!
I always saw tamagoyaki, but I never tasted it before!! I tried this recipe, and it tastes exactly how I imagined tamagoyaki to be!! :D It was salty, but a bit sweet! It took me five tries to get it rolled right….. -_- but I'll keep trying to roll it out as beautiful as yours. :)
Looks very pretty; mine never look quite as nice sadly. I use honey instead of sugar, that might be something interesting to try as well.
My husband loves this but I struggle making it with a round skillet. It is "Oishi-i" nonetheless!
cool recipe, I'll try it out.
Can I do this recipe in a regular circle pan? What size of pan should I use for this recipe, 10in or 12 inch circle frying pan. Did you use extra large eggs? Do you think if will taste ok if I don't add the dashi no moto? Thank-you very much.

About ECM
March 25 , 2004
Rava in Rome
On March 11 at the new Auditorium "Musica per Roma", Renzo Piano's famous new building, a double event took place celebrating Enrico Rava's first 50 musical years:
It started with a press conference to present Ravas latest ECM record "Easy Living" as well as the biographical book "Note necessarie come un' autobiografia", edited by Alberto Riva and published by Minimum Fax. In the presence of Italian and international journalists an interesting discussion between Enrico Rava, Manfred Eicher and Alberto Riva was held. Both Rava and Eicher had fond memories about the recording in Stefano Amerio's studio in Udine. "This music was made in an unforceful way but with much force inside", said Manfred Eicher. Even if "Easy Living" is the title of the record, the music offers deep structures and thoughtful compositions. The attentive audience at the press conference had the chance to listen to some excerpts from the CD, and this pre-concert listening became a starting point for an animated debate in the Auditorium's bookshop.
The concert in the Sala Sinopoli started slowly. Step by step the instruments began to communicate with each other, but there was always enough space for individual statements. Enrico Rava, master on his trumpet, and the young Gianluca Petrella on trombone formed a wonderful couple, the sounds of the two instruments seemed to embrace each other
As Rava already announced in the press conference this evening was the last concert of the quintet in this constellation. Stefano Bollani has left the group to continue his career as a solo pianist and bandleader, but he will carry on playing with Rava in duo.

Having said that, you can either have a distro that's easy to use and provides you with packages when they feel they're safe , or you can stay more up to date - but with a little more work. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Wouldn't installing bleeding edge software from a third party defeat the whole purpose of using Ubuntu? That's rather counter-productive to the safe haven of Linux they try to provide. Because guess what? The moment it doesn't work properly, they (the game devs) are responsible for making it work - since you made it clear you have absolutely no desire to figure out why it isn't working yourself. The end result is more time being spent on maintaining packages for a distro project they don't even work on and less time working on their own project. So why even open that can of worms?
Soo... either wait for Ubuntu to release packages officially, or get your hands dirty. Don't blame the devs for not supporting a distro that does the vast majority of it's supporting internally anyways. Ubuntu doesn't deserve special treatment just because newbies love it.
And FYI: phoronix is hardly a website targeted towards people who'd "rather pay $30 than compile it myself". Consider where you are before you complain about opinions here. Nothing wrong with those types of users, but this is hardly their international headquarters.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Folk fest icons' reunion among plenty of Saturday highlights
BIRDS HILL PARK — On Saturday night's mainstage, Luke Doucet thanked the Winnipeg Folk Festival for having a broad definition of folk music. It was kind of a throw-away moment — he was politely thanking the festival for including him — but he nicely summed up the festival's evolution over the past 40 years.
If folk music is music by the people for the people, then it can take on many forms — a point underscored by Saturday's incredibly diverse lineup on the mainstage and off. Purist folk to avant-garde electro, legends and newcomers, we saw it all.
Let's start with the legends. Before New Orleans funk collective Galactic took the stage for its headlining slot at press time, another N'awlins band, Dr. John & The Nite Trippers, laid down a slab of full-title boogie woogie. Clad in a red pinstripe suit and trademark fedora, six-time Grammy winner Dr. John — aka Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr. — ran down the hits, including his biggest, Right Place, Wrong Time, to an adoring crowd. He sure knows how to tickle the ivories.
Martin Sexton was another big mainstage draw on Saturday night. Armed with just his guitar — the self-taught musician did get his start as a busker on Boston street-corners, after all — Sexton wowed with his heart-on-sleeve brand of blue-eyed soul. In addition to being a killer guitar player, he's got a powerhouse set of pipes. His vocal acrobatics were effortless and his grooves were easygoing.
It was a completely different vibe over at Big Bluestem, where Halifax experimentalist Rich Aucoin was throwing an explosive dance party — complete with confetti cannons —with his sample-heavy, live-band electropop. Impossibly energetic, Aucoin was the consummate party host, leading the audience in singalongs to his fists-in-the-air anthems. He even got the crowd to converge under a giant parachute. Yes, like the one from gym class.
Earlier at the mainstage, Whitehorse, the husband-and-wife duo of Doucet and Melissa McClelland, managed to turn up the heat on an already-blistering evening. Their Americana-flavoured folk rock is slinky and sexy — and it's also incredibly intricate. The duo crafts their soundscapes from layers of percussion, keyboard and even telephone receiver amplification run through a maze of looping pedals, all bolstered by guitar-slinger Doucet's lightning fret work and his intoxicating vocal interplay with McClelland. From the roadhouse romp No Glamour in the Hammer to the propulsive Radiator Blues, these two were on fire.
The mainstage show started with a bang courtesy of Habadekuk, a boisterous Danish folk ensemble whose lively jigs got the dinner crowd on its feet.
Saturday was a scorcher, the sun high in a cloudless blue sky with the temperature kissing 30 C. Patches of shade became precious real estate. So far, paid folk fest attendance has been an average of 10,711 a day, based on unofficial totals from Wednesday through Friday. The packed beer garden provided a much-needed oasis.
Saturday and Sunday are traditionally the festival's busiest days, putting the grounds' new configuration to the real test. The addition of the Festival Village and a permanent home for food vendors has proved positive in terms of traffic flow; festival-goers no longer have to navigate their way through mammoth food lines at supper time to get to the mainstage.
Highlights from the daytime stages included 1974, the much-anticipated, very well-attended workshop featuring a host of folk luminaries who played the first festival, including Sylvia Tyson (of Ian & Sylvia), Leon Redbone, Stringband, Ken Whiteley, Bob King and folk fest fixture Peter Paul Van Camp, who came out of retirement to host.
The Winnipeg poet was as hilarious and generous an MC as usual, leading a late afternoon set filled with reminisces and folk classics.
Cult icon Leon Redbone, a man many came to see, showed up late, which isn't exactly off-brand — "He's an elusive guy, so why would he be on this stage?" Van Camp quipped — but the wait was worth it. "I've spent four hours tuning my guitar," the cult icon said when he finally arrived. "Close enough!" Wearing his signature fedora, he delighted with his vaudevillian ragtime ditties despite the odd sound hiccup.
Tyson, who was one of the biggest names on the inaugural folk fest lineup, was a treat to see. Her performance of her 1975 hit Sleep on My Shoulder transported the audience back in time.
The workshop's biggest crowd-pleaser, however, was Stringband's hilarious (and lyrically explicit) feminist anthem Show Us The Length.
Modern folk greats had their moment in the sun, too. Toronto singer/songwriter and Broken Social Scenester Jason Collett put on an excellent afternoon concert, his languid, Dylanesque drawl perfectly hanging in the humidity. A pair of Winnipeggers helped him out on a few tracks; violinist Julie Penner added resplendent strings to the beautiful We All Lose One Another while her husband, Weakerthans drummer Jason Tait, added ethereal singing saw to the haunting Winnipeg Winds.
It's criminal that more people didn't catch an early afternoon concert by Cold Specks, a breakout band led by Al Spx, a woman with a great big gravelly rumble of a voice. The group's fusion of deep South gospel and fuzzed-out indie rock has made it a critical darling in the U.K., but it's Spx's voice that's worth hearing live. Her a capella rendition of the traditional Stepstone was chilling.

Stephen Stills Career Spanning Box Set Due In March
Monday, January 21, 2013
Coming on March 26th will be the career spanning four-CD Stephen Stills box set, Carry On. The 82-track collection was compiled by Graham Nash and longtime Crosby, Stills, & Nash photographer and collaborator, Joel Bernstein with Stills' help and features a whopping 113-page booklet. The collection, which includes Stills best-loved works with the Buffalo Springfield, CSN, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, , along with his own solo work, features the oldest known Stills track in existence -- "Travelin'" -- a previously unreleased recording that Stills made at age 17 while his military dad was stationed in Costa Rica. The most recent cut stems from CSN's 2012 summer run at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre with a live rendition of "Girl From North Country."
Highlights on Carry On include "No-Name Jam" -- one of the many unreleased 1970 jams with Jimi Hendrix, along with such deep vault gems as "Welfare Blues" (1984), "Little Miss Bright Eyes" (1973), and "Who Ran Away?" (1968), and early demo versions of "49 Bye-Byes," David Crosby's "The Lee Shore," and "Black Coral" -- a song Stills and Neil Young released as a duo in 1976 -- with the newly released version being a full CSNY recording.
Among the legendary musicians who appear on Carry On are Eric Clapton, Herbie Hancock, and Maynard Ferguson, among many, many more.
After nearly 50 years in the business Stephen Stills told us that these days he's way wanting to know what critics say about his role in rock history or his current work: "It really will f*** you up.

Banjoverse: The Full Epic
Playlist Navigation Bar
Adraefan: 39. Saruman
But the hobbits - as well as the others - were tired, and so they ate often, rested often, and slept long hours. Now began the full recovery, now began the true mending of Ring War wounds.
But some wounds were long, or impossible, to heal. During the journey, Frodo spent much of his time locked away in some hidden corner of his mind. His mood was grim, his expression blank. Despite Sam's attempts to coax him out of brooding melancholy, Frodo had closed himself off from the other Travellers. From the first day forward, the hobbit was taciturn, speaking only when someone asked him a question directly. His eyes would linger on the ground. He saw only where his pony trotted. Every so often, his hand would jerk up to his vest pocket or his bare neck. But, finding the Ring absent, it would then fall loosely to his side.
Frodo's daytime brooding was complemented by Boromir's vocal nightmares. Every night since Edoras, the Man awoke screaming in the middle of the night. His pained howls startled all the other sleepers awake, so that none could sleep with Boromir near. At first, the Man was embarrassed, sheepish even. He apologized and flushed and kept his eyes averted. As the nightmares continued and the nights passed, he would move off to some private spot in the woods, away from the others. His screams were somewhat diluted by the trees and distance, but still everyone was kept rigidly awake.
The other Travellers were sympathetic at first, but their sympathy quickly turned to impatience when the screaming never abated. A sleepless week passed; everyone became exhausted, irritable. So they allowed Boromir his weakness, allowed him the only medicine which soothed his wild cries. And they pretended not to see when he would bring the flask out with trembling fingers. And they looked away when he swayed or reeled.
He would drink, and drink, enough to fall into a dreamless stupor. Enough so that he became a stumbling mess, barely sober enough to hold the horse's reins. Of course, the drinking rendered him useless as an escort. But no one imagined any true threat to the journey. They could afford to baby-sit a drunkard. For it was much easier to tolerate the occasional insult or senseless collapse than the constant screams at night, the tension, the barely suppressed rage and the possible madness.
Now the nights were quiet, and everyone slept easy.
One day they walked through a wood; a dreamy, silent place. It had rained the night before, and moisture still clung to the leaves, the grass, the flowers. Peace. Space to breathe. And the feeling of being embraced by a scene, protected. Deep green with blue shadows. Wet grey. Trees here and there, the heavy sky sagging through the canopy. The forest floor dancing thick with ankle-high flowers, herbs, weeds, grasses. A soft carpet of green, buoyant and wet. Moss grew high up on the silver-scraped trunks. Echoed birdcalls, a dew drop on the nose. Mist curling around the Travellers. Someone commented on the beauty of it. And they were so tired, they could have slept there.
But no, it was only morning, too early to sleep. They would rest at lunchtime.
A rain shower. Pattering against the trees, very softly, just tip-tap tip-tap. Enough to send the fog swirling. A small creature shook its fur. Sam put up his face, opened his mouth and drank the rain. Frodo kept his eyes on the ground. Merry and Pippin were laughing at some hidden joke, some private entertainment. But those two were always in high spirits.
Dínendal threaded through the trees with his horse. Clopping lightly, he did not want to disturb the untouched grass, the perfect moss, the ivy and rosemary and sage. He sang softly to himself. The song stayed in his throat, barely whispering through his lips.
Gandalf lit his pipe, covering it with one hand, protecting it from the drizzle. He lingered by the back, thinking.
Boromir lost himself in the vibrant blue-green of it. His eyes stared, unfocused. He held the familiar flask. The flask was wet with rain, and he tasted some of the fresh water on the spout. The rainwater was cool against the alcohol's warmth. And he felt lazy, slow. He wanted only to lean against the horse's neck, feel the faint sheen of sweat and rain on it, feel the life beating within, the mane, the strength, and sleep for days. In his daze, Boromir nearly slipped off his saddle. But he steadied himself, continued.
They passed through this perfect wood out onto an open field. The rain lessened, disappeared. A light drizzle, thick air. Dunland. The sky was still black-grey, looming low with an imminent summer thunderstorm. Up ahead, the hobbits led the way with their ponies. They were talking now, even Frodo. Just inane asides, jokes, old stories. Sam recited a simple poem. Merry dug into his vest pocket for his pipe. Frodo finally looked up, took in the beauty around him. A distant mountain range, white and silent. Green plains, tall swaying grasses, the woods. A flash of lightning, somewhere northeast. After several moments, a crack of thunder. The hobbits felt their curls absorb the damp air, spring wild. Pippin ran a hand through his hair, it came away wet.
Boromir and Dínendal led their horses side by side, walking a hundred paces behind the hobbits. They did not speak, they only watched the passing horizon. It had started to rain in the northeast. A dark curtain of mist hung about the base of the mountains. The rain was moving slowly to them.
Gandalf dropped back in the line, his horse snorted. He aligned himself with the Man and elf.
"Gentlemen, we shall reach Rivendell in two weeks' time," the wizard said.
Dínendal nodded; Boromir said nothing.
"It seems we shall see little of the Dunlendings; though it would be wise to keep a watch nonetheless. Aragorn was good to grant them the lands, but they are not all so peaceable."
Dínendal squinted. "Aye. We should find some shelter soon, as well. It is warm enough, but a wet night will be uncomfortable."
A breeze passed, shifting their hair. Up ahead, the hobbits had stopped and turned their ponies around. They seemed to be waiting for Gandalf, Dínendal and Boromir to catch up.
"Ah," Gandalf smiled. "Lunch."
They set up camp against the ridge of a rolling hill. They gathered no wood, for it was too wet. Dínendal had some stray tinder in his pack. They made a fire, put a kettle on, pulled out the frying pan. The winds picked up, the rain was drifting towards them. Sam managed the cooking, with Merry and Pippin consulting. Frodo sat leaning against his pack. He held the Evenstar in his hands. He was studying it. Boromir lay against the wet grass, his head propped up against his saddle. Dínendal tended to the horses. Gandalf sat apart from the group to observe.
"Ah, yes," Merry grinned. He was hovering over Sam's shoulder as the latter cooked. "Lovely, yes. Have you got any dried bacon, Pip?"
"Bacon?" Pippin scoffed. "It wouldn't go well with this, Merry. We need some mushrooms and a bit of parsley, that's what."
"Aye, Mister Pippin's right, Mister Merry," Sam agreed. "We've got the rabbit going, no sense adding bacon to it."
"What? Haven't you ever had bits of bacon in your rabbit stew? It goes very well."
Pippin made a face. Merry looked back.
"What about you, Frodo?"
They did this often, the hobbits. They tried to bring Frodo back into the conversation, tear him away from his dark thoughts.
Frodo looked up, bewildered.
"Bacon with the roast rabbit," Merry said. "Sam and Pip say I'm breaching some sort of culinary code."
Frodo almost smiled. "I should think you are, old Merry. You can't mix game with pork. That's common knowledge."
Merry sighed theatrically. Yet it was clear that Merry, Pippin, and Sam were relieved to see Frodo talking, teasing even.
"Well, I'm off for the parsley then," Pippin said, standing. "I think I saw some by those trees there."
He passed over Sam and Merry, who hovered by the fire, and walked to Frodo. But Frodo shook his head, he did not want to come. Pippin moved on. Dínendal was standing further up, on the crest of the hill, surveying. Gandalf was seated near Shadowfax, muttering to himself as he smoked a pipe.
"Boromir?" Pippin asked. "Want to come?"
Boromir's chin rested against his chest as he lay on the ground, he seemed nearly asleep. He blinked, raised his eyes.
"What? Come where?"
"We need some parsley for the cooking. I was going to go off and get it."
"Very well."
The Man struggled to stand, heavy and stiff. His movements were slow. Pippin waited until Boromir was fully upright. Gandalf noticed.
"Do not wander far," the wizard warned.
Pippin nodded. Once Boromir was ready, they walked off towards the clump of trees down the hill. The grass was very green against the sky's grey. Down amidst the trees, it was dark. It felt like dusk, even though it was only noon. Pippin and Boromir wandered among the trees, bending down occasionally to gather the herb. Boromir bent slowly, rarely. He spent most of the time trailing Pippin at a distance and drinking.
When Pippin strode back to Boromir, hands full, he sighed lightly. "There, this should be enough. We don't want to overdo it."
Boromir nodded vaguely. It was clear he was not paying attention. Pippin wondered where his thoughts strayed, but guessed it was some darker memory, for Boromir was had been cradling the flask for hours. He took another drink, and Pippin held his breath. Say something. He feared Boromir's reaction, but as a friend, he had to say something. Anything.
Finally, he gathered up enough courage and blurted out, "Don't you think that's enough, Boromir? It's not very healthy... drinking that much."
Pippin clenched his teeth. It had been a much lamer consolation than intended. He had hoped to say something meaningful, something wise regarding the War, the Ring, the adraefan. But he had cowered away from such a statement, feeling foolish, and instead picked the more innocuous health concern.
Thankfully, Boromir was not angry. His expression softened. "It is enough, little one. Just barely enough."
"Would you like to try a day or two without?"
Boromir remained silent for a long time. They were taking long in gathering the parsley, but Pippin knew the others would not mind. The Man looked off, past the trees and towards the darker skies.
"It will rain soon," Boromir murmured. "Much aches on days like these." He looked at Pippin. "For now, I should like to keep my drink. Perhaps another day, we will try without."
"Alright," Pippin conceded in a whisper.
He turned and walked back to the camp, holding his parsley. Boromir followed, and they did not speak for the remainder of the walk.
Back at the camp, the rabbit was ready, and the thunder cracked much closer. Seeing that it would rain very soon, everyone ate hurriedly and packed up. Once everyone was saddled and ready, almost as if the rain had been polite enough to let them finish eating, it began to pour down in thick, splashing drops. Gandalf lowered the brim of his hat, the hobbits and Boromir yanked on their hoods, Dínendal let the rain wash over him.
They trotted on. The rain fell heavily, pushing against them, soaking through their clothes and into everything. They needed cover, a place where they could wait out the storm. And so they dismounted, led the horses to some shielded spot. The sky darkened. The rain poured as they walked through the forest, enough so that each traveler was hidden from the next. They could not see each other in these torrents of water. These great, wet curtains. Lightening cracked close, thunder shook the ground.
Hours passed. They waited under a ledge of earth, all bundled up, crouching back against the ground, sitting. The rain began to lessen substantially. Now it fell only in random drops. They remounted, began again to trot along the path.
At one point, Boromir's flask, slippery with rain, fell out of his hand and onto the ground. He dismounted clumsily and retrieved it from the mud. Getting back on the horse took longer than it should have, with many false pulls and drunken stumbles. By that time, the other Travellers had already passed him and were further ahead. He managed to clamber back on and urge the steed forward, so that he was once again trotting alongside Dínendal at the back of the line. The elf gave the Man a look, but said nothing.
Finally, by dusk, the rain faded to a drizzle, and then disappeared. The Travellers now walked in silence, Gandalf occasionally rumbling something to Frodo, or Merry and Pippin chuckling sporadically. The woods were quiet, with a humid fog drifting like a smoky carpet over the forest floor.
It was this calm which Boromir wished to shatter. The other Travellers were beginning to notice that he always did this in the evenings, as if the drink and the darkness leant bitter malice to him, which always showed itself at dusk, always at the end of each day. They would need to make camp soon.
"You mentioned the Dunlendings, Mithrandir," Boromir called suddenly. He wanted to argue. "What strategy have you should we come upon them?"
Gandalf lifted his head; the brim of his hat dropped some rain from the back.
"There is no strategy, son of Denethor," Gandalf replied. "I very much doubt we shall come upon them. And if we do, I think we shall easily defend ourselves."
"You invest much faith in the hobbits."
All four hobbits tensed at this. Gandalf snorted.
"Ha, and rightly so, I should think! Only a fool would underestimate our halfling friends now, Boromir. I thought you would have learned that by now."
This silenced Boromir. The horses walked at a leisurely pace. Boromir was at the end of the line with Dínendal, and he saw Pippin twist around in his saddle to give him a questioning look. Boromir ignored it.
After several more moments, he began again, voice loud, words slurred.
"Is it not strange what days these are? When halflings may best Men in fighting; stealing away their victories, and their honor, all of it. When the lands of Middle-earth should look to the Shire now – not Gondor, nay, not anymore – that – that they should look to the Shire for protection and – and praise."
Dínendal, who was riding beside Boromir, looked away.
"But mayhap there is another battle, another fight, another war waiting in the shadows. You may see where others are blind, Mithrandir, and I… I would have you tell us. For what did drag us to Imladris but shadows and dreams, hidden threats? Yet to know in advance what future awaited us there, would we have gone? Nay… nay, not when it should have been but a halfling to finish it – to save us all – to steal our victories. 'Tis not strange – a lifetime spent defending their lands – 'twas time wasted, it seems, for they knew how to defend themselves better than I could have imagined and – "
"Do not speak such nonsense, Boromir," Gandalf interrupted. "Your words are quarrelsome, yet you will argue only with yourself, for none of us will humor you."
But this only egged the Man on. As he rambled, his voice shook and his hands fumbled with the reins, picking at the leather. Everyone ignored him, though Frodo, Sam and Dínendal were taut with barely concealed irritation.
"Nonsense, aye, for what has happened has happened. And it is finished, all our tasks complete. Aye, the Ring is destroyed. And here we are. But what peace is it if those who fought for it are ill recognized? What relief for the soldiers – to Men – if they are shunned and discarded in times of peace? There were many who did give much only to fall, nameless, in some forgotten place! And there are some, who for a lifetime of defense, their city – everyone – everyone has rewarded only with scorn and insult!"
Dínendal looked away from Boromir. Frodo, his shoulders tense, his eyes glaring forward, interrupted the Man.
"You speak as if you are discontent," Frodo said harshly. "But none of us here prompted your current state of disgrace. You are arguing with the wrong people."
"Frodo…" Pippin murmured.
"Well, he's right, Mister Pippin," Sam intervened. "It's not our fault if the Man can't hold his drink an' he gets like this in the evenings."
"Ah, is that it? You all see me a drunkard?" Boromir snapped, anger flaring. "You halflings were not so quick to judge when it was my sword that kept the Uruk-hai at bay!"
"Me and Pip didn't say anything, Boromir," Merry growled.
"Aye, but I see your minds! You think me pitiful, is that not so?"
"Boromir, enough," Dínendal interrupted.
The Man fell silent, seething.
That evening, they made camp under the shelter of some large oak trees. The ground was still wet, so that the hobbits complained about the damp blankets, but soon enough a fire was made and the horses left to graze. Boromir said nothing for the rest of the evening, and the other Travellers ignored him. Yet they saw his gradual inebriation, as well as his aversion to eating. He fell asleep against his bedroll, flask still in his limp hand, scabbard still on.
"Ooh, there once was a hobbit from Tookland…"
"Who for's lass's marriage had prop'ly planned…"
"A feast for a Shire-full – "
"The best ale by the barrel – "
"Only to find she'd picked a Sand… -yman."
"Ted, to be specific."
"A-A-And then there was a horse from south Gondor…"
"Who came one day and knocked on the door…"
"Saying, 'Hello, old chap!'"
"And with just one tap…"
"Promptly turned the Took into an adorable boar."
"The horse was Radagast in disguise."
"So Ted's got his lass…"
"And the boar chews his grass…"
"And everyone says, 'Meriadoc, you've grown!'"
Boromir scowled. The two had been at it since morning. Inventing limericks, seeing how long they could keep it up, inviting the others to join in. And while Boromir would have otherwise enjoyed Merry and Pippin's relentless jocularity, he had awoken with a throbbing head and the old shoulder and stomach wounds blazing. He had stoically resolved to ignore the drink, if only because he was too nauseous to consider forcing down any more – not after last night – and his hands had fumbled uselessly when trying to uncork the cap. And so instead he had to grit his teeth and bear the stiffness and pain, riding as always at the back of the line, shoulders and back curved, hands clutching the horse's reins.
But the endless banter was grating dangerously on his frayed nerves. They had been riding for hours, and while the pace was easy and relaxed, Boromir's inexplicable pain seemed to grow as each league dragged by until he found himself hunched forward in the saddle, occasionally burying his face into the horse's mane if only to regain his senses. He could not ask the others to stop – not after they had stopped the night before for him to be sick, as Dínendal had calmly explained this morning – yet Boromir was sure he would be sick again if he did not simply collapse first. The usual lightheaded sickness which came in the mornings after revelry had warped into a fierce, strange pain – his every wound prickling, hot flashes spiking through with each breath – so that he curled more and more into himself as the day progressed.
Boromir looked up. He saw Dínendal riding beside him. The others were a little further ahead. He could still hear Merry and Pippin's drone. They were at the front of the line. Gandalf followed, smoking a pipe. Frodo and Sam came next. The passing woods, green and empty. Birds chirping. Sunlight.
Boromir attempted to straighten in his saddle, for he realized he was nearly bent double, the slow trot jostling him awkwardly, yet he could not raise himself more than a few inches. Dínendal watched him in concern.
"Boromir, you are pale. Is all well?"
"Aye," Boromir said, gruff. "'Tis but the usual sickness after drink."
This had the desired effect. Dínendal's genuine concern changed into a more long-suffering tolerance, and so he dropped the subject and, giving Boromir a stony-faced nod, urged his horse forward.
Once the elf was gone, and everyone's back was turned, Boromir exhaled and leaned forward into the horse's neck again, resting his cheek against the mane. He kept one arm tucked under him, holding his stomach, while holding the reins with his free hand. But he could not remain in such a position without the horse slowing to a crawl, and so he forced himself up and urged the horse into a trot – murder on the knees – to catch up with the others.
The afternoon light burned though the tall pines and evergreens. The land was uneven here. They were near the base of the Misty Mountains. It was still warm, though the air was cooler here in the woods, near the mountains. Up ahead, the hobbits had stopped to gather some fallen fruit – Stewed apples with our tea tonight, gentlemen, Merry abruptly announced – and thankfully the company ground to a halt. Boromir knew he could not have maintained even this slow pace, and he had been very near abandoning his pride and calling a halt altogether had not the hobbits done it for him.
They dismounted. Here, at the edge of the forest, they could see the red-pink sun fading into the horizon. It would be evening soon, time to make camp. Boromir silently thanked whatever power had made this day pass so quickly. He dismounted – reeled slightly from the residual dizziness; it seemed last night's brandy had not yet faded – and limped up to stand by Gandalf. There were some gnarled apple trees nearby, and the ground was littered with bruised fruit. All four hobbits busied themselves with picking up the apples which were still salvageable. Dínendal stood by his horse, using his knife to quarter one of his apples and feed it to the steed.
The wizard was standing on the ridge where the forest ended and the ground sloped downwards. Before them lay open country. Rolling hills. Faraway streams. The mountains looming to their right, glowing pink in the fading light. Gandalf stared forward, leaning against his staff.
As Boromir approached, Gandalf's eyes flickered briefly to see who joined him. And the bushy eyebrows knitted in concern when he looked upon Boromir's face.
"My word, you are a sickly color."
A short exhalation. "Indeed, I do not feel so rosy-cheeked."
Gandalf watched him, studying.
"And I would imagine it has grown worse as the day passed?"
"Aye…" Boromir frowned.
"And it is not the aftereffects of last night," Gandalf paused, his beard quirked, "At least, not only the aftereffects of last night."
"Nay… it is the old wounds. The – the Amon Hen wounds."
A bemused growl. "Mmm…"
Boromir did not question Gandalf's behavior, he simply concentrated on the pain, on keeping it at bay. And he no longer cared that the others could see how he clutched his stomach, how he stood half-bent, how he measured each inhalation-exhalation. But the hobbits were distracted with the fruit now, and Dínendal was tending to the horses, so they did not notice.
"I have felt an uneasy presence ere we entered these woods…" Gandalf began. "And it seems my suspicions are confirmed. The Uruk-hai arrows came from Isengard, tainted with the poison of Saruman. Morgul-wounds indeed."
Boromir attempted to raise his eyes to look at Gandalf, but he found the effort somewhat difficult.
"Saruman?" Frodo asked, walking over with an apple in each hand.
Gandalf frowned, nodded, pointed ahead. By now the others were listening. Sam was holding his pack open for Merry and Pippin to dump in their apples, and Dínendal had walked over to Gandalf and Boromir. Once Sam had closed his pack and slung it over his shoulder, the remaining hobbits joined the group.
"Yes, Frodo," Gandalf said. "Look."
And so everyone followed Gandalf's gaze towards the path leading down the next hill and out onto a field.
Two figures, dwarfed by the distance. Beggars. Even from this far away, the group could see them both hunched over – unknowingly mimicking Boromir's posture – wearing rags, dirty. One of them, the one in front, was leaning hard against a staff. Behind him trailed the second, who would nod quickly or shrink away whenever the first spoke to him. They were at the base of the shallow decline, within calling distance.
"Saruman!" Gandalf bellowed, startling all the others near him. The two figures up ahead stopped, turned. Without another word, Gandalf straightened his back, squared his shoulders, and went marching down the hill with long, powerful strides.
"Wa - ! Mister Gandalf!"
Sam hastened after him, drawing his sword. Merry and Frodo and Pippin followed, hurrying down the hill. Boromir saw the two figures turn and walk back to meet the others. The two groups met halfway down the slope. Boromir could see the other wizard – sunken eyes, gaunt, a hooked nose. Gandalf was saying something.
With one miserable glance at Dínendal, who had seen to the horses and was now hastening to the group, Boromir hobbled after all of them.
"…waited in Orthanc," Gandalf was saying. "He would have shown you mercy, Saruman, and justice."
"Bah! Mercy and justice – I seek neither!"
As Boromir approached, he saw clearly the two beggars. The wizard's long beard – black near the mouth, yellowing at the ends. Tangled strands of white hair, rustling in the wind. Heavy, dark eyebrows, bristling in a frown. And beside Saruman, the other beggar: Wormtongue. A pale, pointed face. Too-wide eyes flickering back and forth with fright, from the hobbits to Gandalf to Saruman to Dínendal to Boromir and away. A curved back, hands clutching at tattered robes.
"What I do seek," Saruman continued, muttering, "is the way out of this realm…"
Yet as Boromir approached, still stiff with pain, even if he had forced his hands down to his sides, the wizard saw him and bared yellow canines in a malicious sneer.
"Boromir!" Saruman exclaimed. "I did not expect to see you, son of Denethor. The last I saw of you, you were dragging yourself away from Amon Hen in pursuit of those three elves. But now I see one of them here as well."
Dínendal stepped forward. "Aye."
Boromir nearly crumbled under the wizard's piercing gaze. For the wound in his stomach was burning hot now, and with every word the wizard uttered, the burn grew greater, blinding white. Yet he forced himself to remain upright, forced himself to meet the skeletal wizard's gaze.
"And the other two?" Saruman asked.
Boromir felt himself trembling. His hand drifted up to his gut.
Dínendal stood stiff as a rod. "Dead, wizard. Dead in Dagorlad and Barad-dûr, fighting the Enemy to the last."
"Barad-dûr?" Saruman repeated.
The Black Tongue. Only a name. And yet Boromir – a blinding force – stabbing – reeling back – and he could have sworn the wounds were bleeding, oozing, blistering – a flash: snapping red pop hisses Third One screams – and a choked grunt.
Fading white to black, and then seeing: dry, trampled, yellow grass. A hand on his shoulder. A face, hovering by. Saruman's laughter. Sam yelling something. And Boromir realized he had doubled over, both arms hugging himself, and a sickly cold sweat crawled down his neck as his entire body shuddered convulsively.
"What did you do?" Sam was shouting angrily.
"Nothing, my urchins! Old curses and lingering wounds, but they don't depend on an old beggar like me. Or have you come to throw stones at one for another's wrongs? Not every hurt is Saruman's fault! But come, let us throw stones at an old beggar and his pitiful dog, for there is no one else around to bear the punishment!"
"Save us your self-pity, Saruman," Gandalf interrupted fiercely. "You know your wrongs. And we are not here to punish you for them."
"Ha! To gloat, then, at my present misfortune, that is your purpose," he glared at the hobbits. "So high and mighty, my selfish urchins. You think you have grown so tall! You have all you want: food and clothes, and weed for your pipe. Why, I wager you would not spare a pipeful for an old beggar, would you?"
Merry was standing by Boromir, keeping a hand on the Man's arm as the latter slowly regained his strength.
"I would, if I had any," Frodo said flatly, maintaining Saruman's gaze.
"I wouldn't," Sam growled.
Merry stepped away from Boromir for a moment. "You can have what I have left, since you're so miserable." He dug into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small, leather pouch. He tossed this to Saruman. The old wizard fumbled for a moment before catching it against his chest. "Take what is left. It came from the flotsam of Isengard anyway."
"Ah! And so the thief returns a morsel of his stolen bread! And I wonder what else you haelfdons have stolen from me!"
Everyone stiffened at that. Merry immediately stormed over and pulled the pouch out of the wizard's gnarled hands.
"And for that, I'll take it back, thank you very much!"
Saruman spit on the ground. "Bah! Well, it will serve you right when you come home, if you find things less good in the Southfarthing than you would like. Long may your land be short on leaf!" He turned to Wormtongue, who had sat down on the ground, and gave him a swift kick in the side. "Up with you! Up, you idiot! Come, if these fools are going this way, we'll take the other!"
And Wormtongue rose, cowering, wringing his hands. "Poor old Gríma! Poor Gríma!"
With that, kicking and whining, grumbling, hobbling, the two gaunt figures shuffled away from the group. Everyone followed their departure with fierce glares. Sam kept clutching the hilt of his sword, his knuckles going white. Dínendal's grip on Boromir's shoulder grew more and more fierce. The two walked away, towards the Misty Mountains, the red dusk glowing against their backs.
And once they were out of sight, Boromir carefully lowered himself to the ground, any pretence of strength long forgotten. With a grunt, he crumpled down onto his side, clutching his stomach, eyes squeezed shut. The others turned to him.

In Psalm 103:8 we read:
אֶ֖רֶךְ אַפַּ֣יִם וְרַב־חָֽסֶד
Why is אַפַּ֣יִם (anger) in its dual form?
This is the same phrase that appears in Ex 34:6, the interaction between God and Moshe after the golden calf. In both places אֶ֖רֶךְ אַפַּ֣יִם is sometimes translated "slow to anger" (though there is no infinitive verb there) and sometimes "long-suffering".
אֶ֖רֶךְ is Strong's H750, "prolong, lengthen, draw out" (etc). אַפַּ֣יִם is H639. The lexicon gives two usages here: "anger" (derived from H599) and "nostril, nose, face" (specific to this form of the word, H639). While many uses of the word in Tanakh are about faces rather than noses, apparently not all are.
What does anger have to do with the face or nostrils? I think the connection is that one's face flushes and nostrils flare when one is extremely angry. The text isn't talking about run-of-the-mill anger that you'll get over in an hour or two; it's talking about divine anger, anger that leads God to almost wipe out whole peoples sometimes, anger that is being brought up right after the incident of the golden calf and Moshe's plea for divine mercy.
The kind of anger that makes one's nostrils flare.
Why the dual form? We have two nostrils. In Hebrew the dual form is always used for paired body parts -- yadayim (hands), reglayim (feet), einayim (eyes), and so on.
This answer is my own reasoning based on the sources cited. I don't have a commentary or lexicon that makes this connection explicit. According to @Mike in the comments (thanks!), related idioms are discussed in Beginning Biblical Hebrew by Mark D. Futato.
Please note: This answer was written for a neutral, academic audience and is not intended to be interpreted in the context of a religious belief or doctrine.
We need to explore the word אף more closely. It has two general meanings: nose, face, nostril (Genesis 2:7, Proverbs 30:33, Genesis 28:12, Samuel I 25:23, Chronicles II 7:3) and anger (Deuteronomy 29:27, Proverbs 30:33, Daniel 11:20, Zephaniah 2:2, Genesis 30:2).
Why this is the case is left to your interpretation. On this point I agree with this answer - that the nose/nostrils seem to be an expressive feature when angry, and for rarely anything else. So it makes sense that there is a strong association between the two. This might not be the case however, since there are occasions where "face" means "anger" (Ezekiel 15:7), in which case maybe the explanation centres around a connection to the face and not directly to anger.
The dual form is not exclusive to one meaning - both meanings have singular and plural examples. In the incredibly vast majority of cases taking the meaning "anger" the word takes the singular form (חרון אף, ויחר אפו, ויחר אף, וחרה אפי). If so, it seems to be to make great sense in describing forbearance and patience that the double form is used for extra emphasis - to express that the patience extends to an even greater anger. Of course, the dual form isn't always used, and there might be literary/poetic preference in particular cases. I.e. Sometimes a particular form might sound better. Although this might be another reason to use a plural (and in particular the double) form in other cases.
So to recap, we've proposed two reasons - the first is emphasis, and the second is literary form/rhythm.

Israeli Food
Israelis have developed and continue to enjoy a delicious cuisine rooted in the uniqueness of Israeli society itself.
Whether or not a "true Israeli cuisine" exists is something food critics and academics love to argue about. While such arguments are raging in the ivory tower, Israelis have continued to develop and enjoy a delicious cuisine rooted in the uniqueness of Israeli society itself.
Israeli cuisine exemplifies the true melting pot that is Israel. Hailing from over 80 countries, Jews have returned to their ancient land, bringing with them the foods and recipes they developed during their wanderings. These traditions have commingled with other Jewish recipes, Jewish dietary laws, and the native ingredients of the Land of Israel to create a dynamic cuisine.
All cuisines are a result of the interplay of many forces--historical, sociological, agricultural--and Israeli cuisine is no different. Therefore, many foods that are typically considered "Israeli" originated from the wider cuisine of the Middle East--including the popular falafel (deep-fried chickpea balls in pita) and the famous "Israeli salad" of cucumbers and tomatoes in distinctively small pieces. In addition, Jewish traditions of Eastern Europe play an integral role in Israeli cuisine, with ingredients such as sour cream and dishes such as borsht (a cold soup made from beets).
It is no surprise that geography has a large influence on the Israel cuisine, and therefore foods common to the region--olives and olive oil, wheat, chickpeas, yogurt--play a featured role in Israeli cuisine. Jewish dietary laws also have a strong influence, including the separation of milk and meat and the aversion to foods such as pork and shellfish. In addition, Jewish holidays and festivals have helped shaped the cuisine, resulting in the Israeli tradition of sufganiot (soof-gah-nee-oht; jelly doughnuts) on Hanukkah and an original Israeli haroset (chah-roh-seht; a traditional Passover food) recipe.

This is quite possibly the best woot shirt ever.

ooooh, i dunno. i might be seeing this on the worst sellers list in the next 7 days.
Anyone catch the air guitarists on America's Got Talent a couple of weeks ago? They were rocking. I admit it, I've got a soft spot in my heart for air guitar.
If it's a t-shirt celebrating air guitar, why can you see it?
I don't get it?
weakest shirt currently!
So I get the Air Nike but...really? Really? This is one of those times where I'm reminded of the argument that Editor's Choices from the derbies should happen more often.

Well, now I have something to wear to Rock Band night.
Will my RB2 instruments work with this shirt?
Time to shred this shirt, dude!!

Michael Jordan reference?
Nice concept, poorly executed.
i know 80s nostalgia is big, but I honestly find it very difficult to believe that many people are going to want a shirt parodying a shirt from the 80s that you coulda bought at kmart.
Is this the duke which sucks?
I know that the air drums aren't included, but how about the air cowbell?
Tennessee seems to really like this shirt.
If you wear this shirt backwards you can hear...

I agree with some of the above wooters.
I don't see what's so appealing about this shirt...
This thing is going to get reckoned outta here so fast that we'll hear the sonic boom.
That's guitar air.
Don't breathe that.
I dont see what is so wrong with it. Its a cool design and for once isnt some cutesy design. I say turn it up to 11 im in for 1

Not too impressed with this.
wow really? Desperation sinking in? This design blows air chunks. Quite possibly the one of the worst designs ever.
My air guitar style is more of a bike handlebars hybrid.
Kind of clever... but I'd never be seen wearing it.
Really, woot? The last few days have been pretty disappointing, but this one is especially bad.

What they just cant cater to chicks. heck, as I said I wish they would make more stuff like this.
I like how none of the negative comments are "quality posts", only the good ones
edit:: lol, they made this post a "quality post". I believe the term is 'owned'.
I'd get this shirt if i didn't think air guitar was the lamest thing ever created. Sadly I do. lol
ok, so the last one is Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" . Very nice air slide guitar work there... Still working on the other two tho.
ok, obviously the Clapton one is "Layla" I see that now.
The GNR one seems to be Welcome To the Jungle. I'd have gone with Sweet Child 'O Mine, personally.
I'm going to have to agree that the 80's Nike reference isn't all that clever. I got the reference immediately, but I initially thought I was mistaken, because it's just not that funny. Maybe 20+ years ago, when I was on the playground....

Lynch has two years remaining on his current four-year deal, and is reportedly unhappy with his contract, which is due to pay him $5 million this year and $5.5 million next year.
The four-time Pro Bowl running back has sat out the team's entire offseason program and did not join his teammates in visiting the White House.
Entering his eighth season, Lynch rushed for 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. "Beast Mode" managed 4.2 yards per carry behind a mediocre offensive line, down from 5.0 yards per carry in 2012.
Lynch, 28, is the unquestioned workhorse of the Seahawks' backfield, although offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell indicated during a Town Hall recently that he plans to utilizes more of a committee approach this season.
Third-year back Robert Turbin averaged just 3.4 yards per carry last season, but has been a valuable reserve with good hands out of the backfield. But the team is particularly high on 2013 second-round pick Christine Michael, who logged just 18 carries as a rookie but has shown explosiveness during practices and Bevell wants to get him more involved in the offense this season.

Some Girl(s) by Neil LaBute
Directed by Gavin Hawk
Your career as a writer is blossoming. Your beautiful, young fiancee is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancun by your side—so what is your natural reaction? Well, if you're a man, it's probably to get nervous and start calling up old girlfriends. And so begins a single man's odyssey through four hotel rooms as he flies across the country in search of the perfect woman (that he's already broken up with). In grand LaBute fashion, this by turns outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself.
