LETTER: Lack of planning leading to sprawl
Bill Longtine, Evansville
Thanks to Adam Williams for his thoughtful commentary Thursday on what Downtown needs to supplement the Ford Center, The Centre, and the proposed new hotel. He had several interesting suggestions, and concluded "If you build it, they will come."
Guess what? They are building it, and they are coming. The question is, where are they building it? The answer is, for the most part, not Downtown.
Why should they build it Downtown when it is so easy to build it in the outskirts of the city? Unfortunately, this further contributes to urban sprawl, leaving urban blight in its wake. That diminishes the relative attractiveness and value of Downtown and the city core with its existing underutilized infrastructure of streets, water, sewer, etc. What a waste.
The root of the problem is inadequate urban planning. Our community's Area Plan Commission is more a rezoning commission than a Planning Commission.
What our community needs is a long-range strategic vision of what we would like Evansville to look like well into the future. This should include not only our undeveloped areas, but also our existing developed areas, including our city core and Downtown. Then develop an urban plan to implement that vision. This plan should include incentives to redevelop our city core and Downtown along with corresponding restrictions and disincentives to minimize urban sprawl.
"If you build it, they will come." Just build it in the right places consistent with a long-range strategic vision.

Representatives for Birmingham Airport in England have played down reports that the facility could be renamed in honor of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne. The Birmingham Mail reported a few days ago that former Sabbath manager Jim Simpson had launched a campaign to have the airport named after Ozzy, with at least one city councilor named Philip Parkin interested in pursuing the idea as well.

With the Triumph 800xc out would you still buy an F800gs?

I may in the minority here, but after owning a GS for a year I have to say it's one of the most top heavy bikes I've ever ridden - even with the gas tank under the seat.
The fact it's a bit tall for me plays into this, but I just jumped on a KTM990 Adventure on the weekend and almost dropped it because it was so easy to get off the kickstand - hefted it up like I do my GS and nearly threw it on the ground...
I haven't ridden the Triumph yet, but I plan to. My GS is a great all around bike, but after a year I've come to realize that the vast majority of my time is spent on pavement, and the dirt I do ride is pretty well groomed. I think the Triumph would suit that kind of riding better. I guess you have to be honest about what you'll be doing most of the time.

Acela's Continued Problems Underscore the Importance of Meeting Broader Challenges in Managing Large-Scale Projects
GAO-05-698T: Published: May 11, 2005. Publicly Released: May 11, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In 1996, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) executed contracts to build high-speed trainsets (a combination of locomotives and passenger cars) as part of the Northeast High Speed Rail Improvement Project. Since that time, Amtrak has experienced multiple challenges related to this program, including recently removing all trains from service due to brake problems. Amtrak has struggled since its inception to earn sufficient revenues and depends heavily on federal subsidies to remain solvent. The April 2005 action to remove the Acela trainsets--Amtrak's biggest revenue source--from service has only exacerbated problems by putting increased pressure on Amtrak's ridership and revenue levels. This testimony is based on GAO's past work on Amtrak and focuses on (1) background on problems related to the development of the Acela program, (2) summary of issues related to lawsuits between Amtrak and the train manufacturers and the related settlement, (3) key challenges associated with the settlement, and (4) initial observations on possible challenges in Amtrak managing large-scale projects.
Significant issues and controversy have impacted the Acela program since its inception. According to Amtrak, what started out as a simple procurement of train equipment evolved into a complex high-speed rail program. Acela has encountered numerous difficulties due to such things as new technology and production delays. Even after Acela service began, unexpected problems were encountered, which required Amtrak to remove the trainsets from service, resulting in lost revenue. Concerns about the quality of the Consortium of train manufacturers' (Bombardier and Alstom) work and Amtrak's withholding of payments for the Acela trainsets resulted in the parties suing each other, each seeking $200 million in damages. Amtrak and the Consortium reached a negotiated settlement in March 2004. Although the settlement agreement protects Amtrak through certain warranties, loss of revenue resulting from removal of trains from service is not directly recoverable. Under the settlement, Amtrak is conditionally scheduled to assume maintenance functions from the Consortium in October 2006. Aside from the current problems, Amtrak faces other risks and challenges to the recent settlement, including obtaining technical expertise and providing sufficient funding for maintenance. Achieving a successful transition is critical to Amtrak given the importance of the Acela program. The recent brake problems may impact the transition through such things as delayed management training. As GAO reported in February 2004, Amtrak had difficulties managing the Northeast High Speed Rail Improvement Project and many critical elements of the project were not completed and the project goal of a 3-hour trip time between Boston and New York City was not attained. GAO has ongoing work addressing Amtrak management and performance issues that GAO plans to report on later this year.

Q&A: Hard times for Obama from economic recovery
WASHINGTON Nothing upsets a president's re-election groove like ugly economic numbers.
A spring slowdown in hiring and a rise in the unemployment rate are weighing on President Barack Obama, while enhancing Republican challenger Mitt Romney's argument that the Democratic incumbent is in over his head.
Some questions and answers about how Friday's economic news may play in a close presidential race:
Q: How bad is this for Obama?
A: Pretty awful. Polls show Obama's handling of the economy is his biggest weak spot. People in the United States overwhelmingly rate the economy as their biggest worry, and jobs are what they say matters most.
But the president still has time for the jobs outlook to improve. Five more monthly unemployment reports are due - the last coming just four days before the Nov. 6 election. The fall numbers will mean more when voters head to the polls.
Q: What can Obama tell voters if the job picture stays bleak?
A: After 3 1/2 years in office, it's getting harder to blame the painfully slow recovery on the mistakes of his predecessor, George W. Bush. But Obama keeps reminding the public of how bad things were when he took office in January 2009. The economy was deep into the recession and losing jobs month after bleak month.
In contrast, over the past two years, Obama notes, businesses have been consistently adding jobs, just not as quickly as needed.
He's also tried shifting blame to congressional Republicans, saying they've held up the recovery by refusing to pass most elements of his jobs bill. And he says some factors dragging down the U.S. economy are beyond a president's control, such as the European economic crisis and fluctuating gasoline prices. The weakening economy in China and turbulence in the Middle East haven't helped, either.
Q: Is Romney seizing this opportunity?
A: With both hands. The lousy jobs numbers fit neatly into Romney's central campaign pitch: That guy doesn't have a clue how to fix the economy, so let me get it done.
He called the jobs news "devastating" and a "harsh indictment" of Obama. Romney says his own experience with a private equity firm, making millions of dollars by overhauling struggling companies, taught him how to revive the economy and create jobs.
Q: So which guy do the voters believe?
A: It's a toss-up so far.
There hasn't been time to measure the impact of Friday's figures. But in an Associated Press-GfK poll last month, people were split over who they'd trust most to handle the economy, Romney or Obama. Asked specifically whether they approve of the way Obama has dealt with unemployment, about half did and half didn't, mostly along party lines.
Still, jobs are clearly a weakness for Obama. His poll numbers are stronger than Romney's on many other qualities, such as which candidate understands regular people, is a strong leader and says what he really believes.
He may benefit from the perception that the mess is so big no one knows what to do. In an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, two-thirds of those surveyed said they were only somewhat confident or not at all confident that Obama has the right goals and policies to improve the economy. Asked this about Romney, three-quarters were only somewhat or not at all confident.

Ty Segall is the ultimate riff wunderkind. Channeling Black Flag, Bob Marley and everything in between, his sound can range from raucous to introspective in one single song. In 2013 alone, he released music on every kind of format possible including an LP from his band Fuzz, a few split seven inches, CDs and even cassettes. His latest solo masterpiece Sleeper (out now on Drag City), is a combination of distorted guitars and lilting acoustics. Check out this live performance from Pickathon 2013 below and see why we picked him to top our Surfer Poll playlist from last year.Follow Me

Nine Mile: The City Where Bob Marley Was Born
While many fans believe he was a native of Kingston, Jamaica, the city where Bob Marley was born is actually Nine Mile in the parish of Saint Ann. Found in the northern part of the small island, Nine Mile is a completely rural part of the country, especially when compared to the vacation-friendly capital of Kingston.
In his teenage years, the infamous singer would move to the Trenchtown part of Kingston, where he would live out the majority of his life. Yet, after passing in 1981, Bob Marley's body was brought back to the city where he was born and laid to rest near his brother. In tribute to the city's fallen son, Nine Mile residents have erected shrines to Bob and the Marley family around his childhood home.
Whatever you've heard or known about Jamaica is completely erased once you're in the sacred land of Nine Mile. There is something heavy in the air that alerts you to the spiritual weight of this town. Something special in the soil, which not only gives the region its fair share of bananas and coffee beans, but it is the land that gave the world Bob Marley. If you've never been, pack a pair of on-ear headphones, immerse yourself in the music of Marley and check out these three significant spots in Nine Mile.
The Marley Homestead
The tiny Marley home in Nine Mile, the city where Bob Marley was born, is no bigger than 300 square feet. With two rooms, one acting as a bedroom and the other for family gatherings, the house is quaint, but offers a homey feeling. Outside of the home, you'll see the kitchen, which features an open fire pit made of rocks, and find the entire property painted in the
traditional Ethiopian colors of
green, yellow and red.
The Marley Mausoleum
Following the wishes of his mother Cedella Booker Marley, Bob was laid to rest in a mausoleum on the Marley family property next to his brother. Buried in 1981, Marley was placed in a casket with his beloved Gibson Les Paul and a bible opened to Psalm 23 in this unique Ethiopian themed church. The journey to the Marley mausoleum is a special one as the grounds are the same place where he was born and lived out his youth. It provides a spiritual experience that can hardly be replicated anywhere else in Jamaica.
The Rasta Rock Pillow
In front of the mausoleum in which Bob Marley is buried, there is a famed rock that is said to have been a spot of inspiration for the late singer. Vaguely resembling a flat pillow, locals say that Marley would lay his head on the stone, an act which the songwriter later recounted in his song "Talkin' Blues" from the Natty Dread album.
The Evolution of Bob Marley's Guitars
While he was never known for his intense fret work, Bob Marley's guitar playing still has become renowned the world over. Allowing his lyrics to do the majority of the talking, his guitar sound could become hushed or overpowering in an instant, depending on what the moment called for. This focus on song and emotional feel is what has always made Bob's music so memorable.
Even during the excessive 1970s, when guitarists used gigantic amp rigs and traded off guitars between every song in a set, Bob stuck to using the same few that he had always used. It's hard to imagine not seeing a picture of Bob performing live, dreads swinging away and Gibson Les Paul Special in hand. Yet, there it was. Always wrapped up in his arms. Every performance. While some remain in the possession of the Marley family and others have been sold at auction, Bob Marley's guitars still remain just as iconic as he does. Check out the evolution of Bob's guitar lineup and you'll see how his influence has lasted from the 1970s to the present:
Fender Stratocaster
Regarded as many guitarist's favorite model, the Fender Stratocaster played by Bob Marley is known for its sharp, clean sound. This makes it perfect for playing the slinky reggae of Bob's earlier records. Here below on a performance of "Stir It Up" from the Old Grey Whistle Test, Bob plays his brown sunburst Fender strat and shows off its trademark sound.
Ovation Adamas
Used during his 1980 tour, Bob Marley's Ovation Adamas guitar made an impact on his son, Julian, who still uses the same model of guitar today. While the newer models of Ovation Adamas still have the signature sound holes near the top of the guitar's body, the inside of these beauties have been changed to create a lighter body. Click below to watch Bob Marley play "Redemption Song" on his infamous acoustic in Dortmund, Germany.
Washburn 22 Series Hawk
Of the seven guitars Bob Marley is said to have owned, it's nearly impossible to find a picture of the singer playing his Washburn 22 series Hawk. Given as a gift from Bob Marley to his former guitar tech, Gary Clausen, the guitar was shrouded in secrecy since leaving its original owner's hands. Said to be in the possession of the Jamaican government, it's still considered one of the most valuable guitars in the world at $1 to 2 million dollars.
Gibson Les Paul Special
Perhaps the most well known of all Bob Marley's guitars, the Les Paul Special holds a special significance for fans who saw him perform live with it. Customizing it with some of his own retro-fitting, Bob took off a few pieces of the guitar's hardware and filled in some holes with wooden dowels. When Gibson recreated the classic guitar in 2002, they followed Bob's handmade specs when building the limited edition run of 200 instruments. In the live performance of "Satisfy My Soul" below, Marley uses his classic Gibson and shows off its signature fat sound.Follow Me
House of Marley Hits The Big Screen With Making of Legend Remixed
Imagine having the chance to remix a Bob Marley song. Pulling Aston Barrett's bass sounds from the original track, adding spacey echo to Bob's vocal tracks and putting your own stamp on a classic song. It'd be a dream, right? That's exactly what a group of musicians set out to do with the Legend Remixed album, and now an accompanying documentary is set for release this week.
Entitled Making of Legend Remixed, the film follows the creative process of musicians and producers (ranging from reggae to rock to EDM), trying their hand at remixing Marley tracks. The goal? Reimagining the greatest hits album, Legend, and creating a new spin on a timeless sound. Chosen by Ziggy Marley, producer Jason Bentley oversaw the project which features Stephen Marley, Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, Jason Bentley, Lee "Scratch" Perry and more.
The Making of Legend Remixed makes its debut this week at the legendary El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday, August 7, and the premiere is going to be crazy. With DJ sets coming from Photek and Beats Antique (both were contributors to Legend Remixed), expect tons of stars walking the red carpet and lots of love for the music of Bob Marley.
Can't make it to Los Angeles? No worries. The film will be making its online debut on August 7, when the Making of Legend Remixed is broadcast live on the Tuff Gong TV YouTube channel. Tune in and you'll be able to check out in-depth, behind-the-scenes footage of the creative process that went into the Legend Remixed album. Catch rare glimpses of studio life and what it's like to turn a reggae classic into a electronic masterpiece.
Check out the exclusive clip for Making of Legend Remixed below and get ready for the big premiere on Wednesday, August 7. It's all going down at the big party at the El Rey Theatre, but you can get your front row seat right here.Follow Me
Bob Marley Transforms on New Legend: Remixed Album
FACT: Bob Marley's music is timeless. Period. Over the years, artists of all genres, from funk to punk and everything in between, have felt a kinship to the records made by The Wailers. The music has now become so deeply engrained in memory banks that many producers are weaving the spirit of Bob's sound into their work. With that idea in mind, the Legend: Remixed album was born.
Building on the foundation of one of the greatest hits albums ever, the Legend: Remixed album transforms the reggae classic into an all-star EDM remix creation. Overseen by producer Jason Bently, the album brings together major stars like Thievery Corporation and Pretty Lights with reggae heroes like Stephen Marley, Ziggy Marley and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
With a street date of June 25, the Legend: Remixed album is a must-hear record, no matter whether you prefer reggae or electronic music. Strap on a pair of our over-ear headphones and check out the album's trailer below. Then, read our picks for the five best remixes on the record and be prepared to have your mind blown by these epic tracks.
"Waiting In Vain (Jim James Remix)"
Importing a throbbing and stuttering bass into "Waiting In Vain," this classically tight Marley song has turned into a spacious affair on Legend: Remixed. Although primarily known as the frontman of country-rockers My Morning Jacket, the song's producer Jim James created a minimal sound that plays primarily off Bob's backing vocals and some light drum and horn sounds.
"Stir It Up (Ziggy Marley Remix)"
Handling his father's song with deft care, Ziggy Marley stripped down "Stir It Up" to its bare bones and lovingly recreated it from the ground up. Filled with lush synthesizers and hand clap-inducing drums, the new remix has maximized the song's original anthemic quality by 200 percent.
"Get Up Stand Up (Thievery Corporation Remix)"
Bob Marley's legendary version of "Get Up Stand Up" is very much based on the earthy sounds of Jamaican. However, the Thievery Corporation, an electronic/dub/acid jazz duo from Washington D.C., blast the track into outer space, almost nearly past Lee "Scratch" Perry's home planet. Honoring the traditional dub sound, the Legend: Remixed track is smothered in heavy reverb.
"Exodus (Pretty Lights Remix)"
"Exodus", perhaps more than any other track on the Legend: Remixed album, captures the spirit of this remix record. The Pretty Lights version of the classic Marley song hits all of the EDM trademarks, including soaring to major highs over static-filled drums and dropping a huge bass bomb.
"Buffalo Soldier (Stephen Marley Remix)"
Despite being known as an amazing reggae musician, Stephen Marley shows off his technical tenacity with his intense EDM production work on "Buffalo Soldier." Rounding out the Legend: Remixed album, the track expands on the horns of the original version and brings a new tension via needling electronic sounds and a bit of Daft Punk atmospherics.Follow Me
House of Marley Approved: The Clash Sound System
Out in the city streets of 1950s Kingston, DJs and MCs traveled around in massive, moving trucks, packed with generators, turntables and speakers. These mobile sound systems sent ripples all the way up to London, England, where the Jamaican party vibe meshed with punk bands like The Clash. On their intense new box set, aptly named Sound System, the band has packed their entire career into one small portable audio system-like creation. Capturing the band from their youthful punk days on through to their heavy dub and reggae period, Sound System is a document of why The Clash has long been considered "The Only Band That Matters."

The Greatest Bob Marley Live Concert Moments
Imagine it. You're going to see Bob Marley live in concert. The electricity flows through the crowd. There is a hushed silence and then… BOOM! Aston Barrett's bass hits you in the face as the Wailers engulf you in sound. Bob appears and commands the stage for two hours with a special aura that will never be matched.
If you never saw Bob Marley live in concert, you missed out. Thanks to bootlegs, there are hundreds of rare recordings that capture the intense performances of the Wailers. Strap on a pair of our in-ear headphones, on-ear headphones or over-ear headphones and check out this list of the greatest Bob Marley live concert moments. From massive arenas to intimate club shows, there is magic in these recordings rarely seen anywhere else in music history.
Smile Jamaica Concert, Kingston, Jamaica, 1976
Two days after gunmen attempted to assassinate him, Bob Marley trudged on to play one of his biggest concerts ever. Opening up with an intense medley of "War," "No More Trouble" and "Get Up Stand Up," National Heroes Park erupted into one mass of dancing bodies.
Live in London, England, 1977
On four consecutive nights in 1977, Bob Marley and the Wailers played the Rainbow Theatre and recorded one of the greatest live albums ever, Live! At the Rainbow. Unlike most live records, this album launched three monster singles and stayed in the charts for over a year.
One Love Peace Concert, Kingston, Jamaica, 1978
Jamaica was at a dividing point and only one man could put it back together. Bob Marley returned from his self-imposed exile for the One Love Peace Concert and united Jamaica's two opposing political parties. He followed this up with one of his most soul stirring performances ever.
Live in Santa Barbara, California, 1979
Just after the release of Survival, The Wailers embarked on a major US tour, but the highlight was a show at the beautiful Santa Barbara Bowl. Built right into the side of a large hill, the venue had a mystic vibe and it fed into the electric feel of Marley's set. Stocked with hits like "Positive Vibration," "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Get Up, Stand Up," this concert is a thing of beauty.
Live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1980
Before passing in 1981, Bob Marley's live concert experience reached its apex at his final show in Pennsylvania. Three encores, a fully stacked set list and a stunning near seven minute version of "Get Up Stand Up" made Marley's final show unlike anything else ever seen in music history.
The Women of Bob Marley's Family Tree
Bob Marley didn't just land on the planet one day like some sort of musical superhero. Most people know he was born in Jamaica, but what else do you know about the Marley family tree? In honor of Mother's Day, we're taking a deeper look at the strong and independent women who carry on Bob's vision.
Rita Marley
Remember the "three little birds" from Bob's song? He was actually talking about the I-Threes, The Wailers background singers, which featured his wife Rita Marley. Marrying Marley in 1966, Rita was Bob's wife until his passing and became mother to six of his children. Continuing her husband's charitable efforts, she has given help to children all over the world through the Robert Marley Foundation and the Rita Marley Foundation.
Cedella Booker Marley
Known as the "Keeper of the Flame" and matriarch of the Marley family tree, Cedella Booker gave birth to Robert Nesta Marley at the age of 18. A singer herself, she took care of Bob by herself after his father passed away when he was only ten-years-old. As the historian of Bob's life and author of two biographies, Cedella spent most of her life raising her son's family and keeping his spirit alive.
The Marley Daughters
During his life, Bob Marley had four daughters that would follow on his path of creating art in many different mediums. Through music, fashion and museum work, Sharon, Cedella, Karen and Stephanie all made significant contributions to the Marley family legacy. Banding together with their brothers Ziggy and Steven, Sharon and Cedella toured together as singers in the Melody Makers.
The women of the Marley family have been able to do some amazing things throughout their lives while still keeping Bob's legacy alive and intact. Just like the Marleys, mothers all over the world are capable of doing incredible things. We honor and thank them for all of the contributions they've made to our lives.Follow Me
Bob Marley's Kaya Celebrate 35th Anniversary
Separated. That's how Bob Marley must have felt while making his album Kaya. Forced to flee from Jamaica after an assassination attempt, Bob created a record in England that was more in tune with the more peaceful times of Trenchtown. Yet, no matter how great the music… Jamaica was still 4,000 miles away.
In celebration of the album's 35th anniversary and Bob's return to Jamaica, Island Records is releasing an expansive two-CD set of Kaya. Perfect for the beach or any place summertime relaxing can happen, the album is full of heavy grooves and motivational words.
Kaya's earth-friendly lyrics have had a huge influence on the direction of our brand's Earth-friendly headphones, portable audio systems, bags and watches. Check out some of our favorite cuts from the album below and commemorate this amazing anniversary with a listen to music that will satisfy your soul.
"Easy Skanking"
Setting the pace for Bob Marley's Kaya, "Easy Skanking" features a slower, more reserved groove than many of The Wailers early tracks. With the promise of "taking it easy, taking it slow," Marley creates a new vibe for his band that would last for the rest of his career.
"Sun is Shining"
Amongst a number of songs rerecorded for Kaya, "Sun is Shining" trades in its sparse sounds for a heavier guitars and bass. Offering up the line "Sun is shining, the weather is sweet / Make you want to move your dancing feet," Marley captures the beauty and spirit of nature in Jamaica.
"Smile Jamaica"
As the inspiration for our Smile Jamaica in-ear headphones, this song is new to the latest edition of Bob Marley's Kaya. Written as an uplifting anthem for Jamaica, Marley first played the song at a concert of the same name shortly after an assassination attempt in 1976, prior to leaving for England.
"Get Up Stand Up (Live from Rotterdam 7/7/1978)"
In addition to the full Kaya album, the new edition of the album features some odds and ends like a live concert from Amsterdam. With the Wailers in fine form after countless recording sessions, this version of "Get Up Stand Up" acts as an eternal document of Bob's energy-filled live shows.
"Time Will Tell"
Kaya's closing song "Time Will Tell" is a relaxed meditation on the history of Jamaica's citizens. Beckoning to his people that they should "weep no more," the music of this song signifies some of the newfound freedoms of Jamaicans in the late 1970s and their closeness to Jah.
Five Classic Reggae Artists That Influenced Snoop Lion
While he may be better known as Snoop Dogg, the artist now called Snoop Lion has flipped the reggae world upside down with his new album, Reincarnated. Finding inspiration in classic reggae artists like Bob Marley, Gregory Isaacs and Jimmy Cliff, Snoop has paired with producer Diplo to define his own take on the genre.
Reggae has had a strong influence on modern music since its rise from the streets of Kingston decades ago. From classic artists like The Clash and The Rolling Stones to newer pop stars like Bruno Mars and Rihanna, the music has maintained a hold on all kinds of artists. We've brought together some of the classic reggae artists that acted as inspiration for the Snoop Lion album. Check 'em out below!
Bob Marley and The Wailers "Duppy Conqueror"
Aside from inspiring the name of our earbuds, the Conqueror in-ear headphones, Bob Marley's classic reggae song features an uplifting take on living freely. Marley wrote "The bars could not hold me / Force could not control me / They tried to keep me down / But Jah put I around."
Gregory Isaacs "Night Nurse"
The influence of the signature synthesizer sound on Gregory Isaacs' "Night Nurse" is particularly apparent in Diplo's production work for Reincarnated. As an early example of mixing electronic music and live instrumentation, "Night Nurse" set a precedent for the entire Snoop Lion project.
The Abyssians "Satta Massagana"
With "Satta Massagana," The Abyssians went beyond creating a pop hit and wrote a classic hymnal. Widely sang during Rastafarian services in Jamaica, the song shows a connection between religion and reggae, which has been an inspiration for generations of artists.
Jimmy Cliff "You Can Get It If You Really Want"
In learning more about Jamaican culture, listeners will discover the uplifting spirit behind most reggae songs. While many artists have sung about making their lives better, no one has done it better than Jimmy Cliff.
Prince Far I "Survival"
Before producing Reincarnated, Diplo became known for making mix tapes featuring classic reggae artists. From his compilation for VP Records titled Riddimentary: Diplo Selects Greensleeves, the world-famous producer selected Prince Far I's classic "Survival" as his grand finale track.Follow Me

Newaygo is a rural city in Newaygo County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,976 at the 2010 census.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.90 square miles (10.10 km2), of which 3.74 square miles (9.69 km2) is land and 0.16 square miles (0.41 km2) is water.[1] including the Muskegon River, which runs through the town and is often used for canoe trips, tubing, and fishing. The county is considered part of West Michigan. Newaygo is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids.[6]
Geographic features[edit]
The Muskegon River flows through the north side of the town.
Major highways[edit]
Newaygo's recorded history goes back to French Voyageurs and Coureur des bois, that is, explorers and trappers (who may or may not have been licensed), who came up the Muskegon River. It was ostensibly named after Chief Nuwagon, a signatory of the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819. But see, Newaygo County, Michigan. John Brooks came to harvest lumber in 1836, and was the town's first postmaster in 1847. Lumber, proximity to the river and Muskegon made it a center for floating logs during the lumber boom. Other historical features of Newaygo include Al Capone (and many other famous mobsters) gambling in the basements of Newaygo's central hotel and in a Hess Lake Inn.[7] More recently, Newaygo has been the home of the state champion marching band of 2010 and 2012.

First Steps
I haven't taken any of my sketches beyond the sketch mostly because I don't the time to paint in such a fashion that it turns out presentable. I do have Photoshop but really no drive to learn how to use. Anyway, I've scanned in most of my work and uploaded it into a Facebook album which is where the link in my signature will take you. Ahh so here are a few sketches that probably have the most potential for finishing with paints and canvass or otherwise. So yeah, I can't draw faces well so skeletals suffice for now. Mostly stuff I do when I'm bored. Thanks.

The first sketch I would like to show more "height" to the mountain and more of a barren wasteland background or something.
The second I would like to add more action, probably turn the legs so they are stomping more out of the picture and more of like a rainy middle ages england kind of theme. I dunno pigshit in the streets and the like.

Olojo : Remembering heroic figures
To most visitors, the annual Olojo Festival is all about the Ogun deity, but for the custodians of culture, the celebration is an avenue for remembering the heroic contributions of ancient personalities whose actions have helped to preserve what is today known as the Yoruba nation.
History reveals the heroic actions of the female warrior, Moremi Ajasoro, who allowed herself to be caught by rampaging savages called "Oluyari." These savages traumatized the Ife people, taking their men as slaves, and their women were raped at all times.
Gradually, the Ifeland was decimated by the action of these savage warlords. Everyone lived in a perpetual fear of being captured, as many homes were thrown into agony. Women were made widows, and children became orphans.
Seeing the level of sorrow the people were thrown into, Moremi decided to surrender herself as a sacrificial lamb for the salvation of her people.
When she was taken to the monarch in the land of her captivity, he was astonished by her beauty that he decided to make her one of his wives. She proved herself a diligent and hard-working wife till she wormed her way into the king's heart, from whom she sought the taboo of the soldiers that terrorized her land.
The king told her that as strong as the soldiers were, their weakness was fire because they were usually dressed in dried giant grass leaves whenever they were on the rampage at Ile-Ife. Hearing this, Moremi on the pretext of going to the stream to wash the king's clothes ran back to Ile-Ife and informed the elders that the savages be bathed with fire on their next visit.
The savages were defeated and her heroic act brought relief to the troubled people of Ifeland.
Oduduwa was impressed that he announced the entire kingdom celebrate the historic feat achieved by one of the daughters of the land by dedicating the day to the creator which in Yoruba means "fi ojo fun Olojo", this was later abridged to Olojo.
According to the Akogun of Ifeland, High Chief Johnson Adesoji Adegboyega, it is similar to the biblical order that the Sabbath day be kept holy, adding that during the finale of the one-week celebration, sons and daughters of Ile- Ife join in the celebration with everyone remaining at home, as there was no going to the farm or anyone involved in buying or selling of any form. The festival is essentially surrounded around two important personalities, the Akogun and the Ooni. The Akogun presides over the first five days of the festival in company with his wife who, every morning, pays homage to Oranmiyan.
The women continue to chant gbajure which derived its essence during the early days when Oranmiyan was going on a quest and told his son, Akogun, that whenever a war was waged against Ife, they should summon him by continuously chanting gbajure: "Oranmiyan, akin ni le, akin loko, okunrin kakaki t' otoju ogun dele gbajure. Opa ara ido ogba ido, gbajure." Besides, he built a perimeter fence with a door which only his son can open with his finger, giving the Akogun a name Arikasilekun.
After the fifth day of gbajure at the Akogun's palace, the sixth day is the day dedicated to paying tribute to the Ogun deity, called Ogun Li la.
On the seventh day, the festivity shifts to the Ooni, who in company with other chiefs in the town, leads the procession to Oke-Mogun. After two days, the visit to Oke-Mogun is repeated, signifying the end of the week-long festival. At the sacred place, another significance of the festival is unmasked.
The festival is an opportunity to pray for peace and progress Ifeland. This is specially a duty of both the Ooni and the Akogun who throughout the period of the festival are incommunicado.
It shows the bond of brotherhood among the sons and daughters of Ifeland, wining and dining, exposing the special nature of the festival and its name: Olojo.
In the past, people did not go to farm because the Ogun is also celebrated and you cannot use gun or cutlass during this period.

The North Eastern Railway (NER) Class K classified as Class Y8 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) is a class of 0-4-0T steam locomotives designed for shunting. It was designed by Thomas W. Worsdell and five of these tiny engines were built in 1890. These were numbered 559-63.
The Class K design was not just small, it was diminutive, and as class Y8 these were the smallest steam locomotives used by the LNER. They were fitted with steam and hand brakes only, never having vacuum brakes, and were unusual in having no bunker behind the cab for the coal, but rather having the small amount of coal required stored in a bin at the back of the footplate.
The Y8s were built with 'marine' type boilers, i.e. with a cylindrical flue into which the grate fitted.[1] Between 1902 and 1904, they were all re-boilered with more traditional boilers similar to those fitted to the NER Class H locomotives.
Originally all of the Y8s were fitted with a single whistle of the bell-shaped type. 560, 561, and 563 acquired the organ type during LNER ownership. 559 also had one of these whistles fitted, but after 1940. In 1942 LNER No.8091 (NER No.560) acquired the chime whistle from the Gresley A4 4469 Sir Ralph Wedgewood when it was damaged during an air raid on York in 1942.[2] By 1946, the original organ-pipe whistle had been restored.
Operation and preservation[edit]
The NER built the K class specifically to shunt the docks at Hull,[1] and it was here that they performed for most of their lives. During World War I No.559 was used both at Woolwich Arsenal and by the Royal Engineers near the mouth of the Humber Estuary,[1] and No 8091 became Departmental Locomotive No. 55, and acquired a 50A shed plate, being the last of the class when finally withdrawn in June 1954.
All five K class locos survived into LNER ownership. However, the Depression-era reduction in dock traffic and the increased use of Sentinel shunters (LNER Class Y1 and LNER Class Y3) led to the scrapping of three Y8s in 1936/7. Numbers 559 and 560 survived to the 1946 renumbering, and were renumbered as 8090 and 8091 respectively. Both survived into British Railways (BR) ownership, but neither survived long enough to acquire an updated '60000' number plate. 8090 was withdrawn in November 1948.
None of the original five survived into preservation. There have been rumours that a replica of this class of engine may be built for use at Beamish Museum where its small size and marine type boiler are seen as perfect for the museum's short demonstration line.

NAANTALI, Finland (AP) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin says that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden is in the transit zone of a Moscow airport and will not be extradited to the United States.
Putin said that Snowden hasn't crossed the Russian border and is free to go anywhere.
Speaking on a visit to Finland Tuesday, he added that Russian security agencies "didn't work and aren't working" with Snowden. He gave no more details.
Commenting on a U.S. request to extradite him, Putin said that Russia doesn't have an extradition agreement with the U.S. and thus wouldn't meet the U.S. request.
He voiced hope that Snowden will depart as quickly as possible and that his stopover at Moscow's airport wouldn't affect bilateral ties.

A great deodorant, however the smell is quite natural, so if you like something more fragrant, this is probably not the product for you. Otherwise great!

The bad news keeps on coming for the Yankees on the injury front.
One day after general manager Brian Cashman said that Mark Teixeira's inflamed right wrist is not showing much improvement over a week since he received a cortisone shot, Joe Girardi did not sound optimistic about getting the switch-hitting first baseman back anytime soon.
"He's not doing anything," Girardi said. "He's seeing the doctors today, and we'll go from there. I'm concerned. I've said before that it's tricky, what he had was a tricky injury, and I'm concerned about it." ...
