Leon Bridges: like that 60's rhythm and blues sound never left
Taking on the dreamy, compelling sound of the lost soul decades is a damn high bar to set for yourself. Soul revivalists usually don't get very far in my book, because what's the point of competing with the likes of Sam Cooke and Otis Redding? Listening to Leon Bridges made me do a 180 on that stance. See, if you actually can hold a candle to legends like Cooke and Redding — and Bridges can — then there's no reason not to indulge in some nostalgia.NPR has a first listen of Coming Home, Bridges' debut album, and you can see and hear plenty more of him on YouTube, from a live cover of Cooke's "Nothing Can Change This Love" to a solo performance of "Lisa Sawyer," a reflective song about his mother.

I wouldn't know a pop chart from a Pop-Tart
He could do no wrong.
Soul legend Percy Sledge has passed away at his home in Baton Rouge. Best known for "When a Man Loves a Woman," Sledge started out as a nurse, booking gigs when he could on weekends. Thanks to hits like "Warm and Tender Love," "It Tears Me Up," and "Take Time to Know Her", and "I'll Be Your Everything", Sledge would eventually leave his job at the hospital and go on to enjoy a career that spanned six decades. He was 73.
Deep Soul: Rick Hall's brand of integration in segregated Muscle Shoals
How Muscle Shoals became music's most unlikely hit factory (previously, 2008) If you love music and musical history, you really owe it to yourself to see the superb "Must See" documentary Muscle Shoals now on NetFlix and other online venues - Trailer here. Rick Hall of Fame Studios is the quintessential American "rags to riches" story and the "peckerwood" group "The Swampers" (and eventually the competing Muscle Shoals Music Studio) that he unintentionlly spawned, are together responsible for many of the classic soul and R&B hits that are part of the very fabric of American Music.

The Mystery of Mingering Mike
Hader was a true soul aficionado, with an encyclopaedic knowledge and 10,000 records at home. Which is why he was so amazed to discover 38 albums by a soul singer he had never heard of. His name was Mingering Mike. Hader stared at the record covers. He read the liner notes. There was Mingering Mike's 1968's debut, Sit'tin by the Window. The cover art was a painting of a young man in a green T-shirt, good-looking, serious. The comedian Jack Benny had written the liner notes, calling him "a bright and intelligent young man with a great, exciting future awaiting him".Jon Ronson looks at the story of Mingering Mike (SLGrauniad), a long-lost soul singer whose records were found at a flea market in 2003, but who turned out to not actually have existed.

A look back at the funky, psychedelic, soulful 70s in Nigeria
According to the Daptone Gold compilation liner notes (auto-playing music, click on "Biography"to read the notes), written by Pitchfork contributor Douglas Wolk, "the world capital of soul" has moved from the US ("between Memphis and Detroit, with occasional stopovers in New Orleans, Cincinnati and elsewhere") in the 1960, to Lagos in the 1970s, then it went into hiding, finally reappearing in Brooklyn, with Daptone Records. Let's go back - why Lagos in the 1970s? [more inside]
"a thousand libraries were lost"
Bob Abrahamian was a Chicago DJ, record collector, and chronicler of Chicago's soul history whose death in June at age 35 shocked soul music lovers around the world. The Chicago Sun-Times' Mark Guarino says: "He left behind tens of thousands of 45-rpm records, but to those who knew him, it was the generous spirit in evangelizing the music that made the greatest impact." His work lives on on the site for his radio show, Sitting in the Park, which features exclusive music from and extensive interviews with 60s and 70s Chicago soul musicians. [more inside]
"There are specific instructions when Isaac Hayes comes on."
Wattstax [SLYT] is a 1973 documentary film about the 1972 Wattstax music festival, held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots. Featuring performances by Isaac Hayes, Albert King, Rufus and Carla Thomas, The Staple Singers, The Emotions, The Bar-Kays, and other greats of soul, R&B, and gospel, Wattstax also incorporates relatively unknown comic Richard Pryor's musings on life for black Americans in 1972, "man-and-woman-on-the-street" interviews, and audience footage.

American finance has finally caught up with breakdancing
Morrissey, George Michael and radio DJ Tony Blackburn discuss the week's pop culture on a TV panel show from deep, deep, deep in 1984. Michael is unimpressed with a breakdance film. Moz is blasé about Joy Division. Blackburn dismisses vintage Atlantic Records reissues, preferring his current options in soul. Pastel color schemes and harsh opinions aplenty. (SLYT, 27 minutes, via the Guardian Tumblr)
The northern soul and R&B sounds of Lenis Guess, straight outta Norfolk
Lenis Guess was one of the pioneers in the Norfolk recording scene. This self-taught vocalist and musician was cranking out records from his 35th Street studio in Norfolk for many artists, including his own and himself. This, producer, singer, musician, performer was at the forefront of the Norfolk sound. With songs like, "I was Born to Be A Drummer," his funk band, The 35th Street Gang, were mainstays of the 70s in and around the Hampton Roads area. Lenis himself had hits like, "I Keep Coming Back for More," and "Working for My Baby." [more inside]

The One and Only Damita Jo Freeman
Damita Jo Freeman is awesome. In more ways than one. Her appearance with Joe Tex would have gotten her fired had it not boosted Soul Train's ratings. As one of the more successful of many Soul Train Dancers, Damita Jo was instrumental in standing up for better working conditions for the dancers. Also, she is is partially responsible for teaching Michael Jackson how to moonwalk. Read all about this amazing woman here.
"When I needed soul revival, I called your name…"
On Wednesday, David Bowie's Facebook page posted an intriguing curio: a trio of videos ostensibly by an obscure '70s soul group known as Milky Edwards & The Chamberlings. The videos show needle-drops of tracks from Starman, a fabulous whole-cloth soul remake of Bowie's seminal 1972 album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The only trouble is, the album doesn't (appear to) actually exist. [more inside]

So long, Bobby 'Blue' Bland
It's time to say farewell to one of the great and legendary voices of American music. Mr Bobby 'Blue' Bland has died. With the perfect combination of muscle and tenderness, grit and sweetness, he gave us so many stellar performances over his long career. Here are but a few: Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City, The Way You Treated Me, Stormy Monday, Further Up the Road, St. James Infirmary, I'll Take Care of You, I Stand Accused, That's the Way Love Is, Ain't Nothing You Can Do... and the list goes on. Thanks for the music, Bobby Bland.
The one-off garage rock and funk wonders of Plato Records, circa 1968
About 30 miles west of Charleston, West Virginia is a little town called Milton, which was the home to the Plato Records label back in the 1960s. According to Al Collinsworth, vocalist and co-songwriter for The Outcasts, Plato was intended to be an African-American music (Afrilachian) label, but the only known Plato releases are a handful of garage rock and funk singles from predominantly white bands, like The Outcasts' Loving You Sometimes. That particular track has seen an uptick in interest, since it has appeared on some recent mixtapes, including Diplo's Chasing the Dragon (MP3, streaming on Grooveshark). For more on those few known Plato recordings, Garage Hangover has interviews, information and promo photos from members. [more inside]

Mop Mop: bastard performances of modern jazz, afro funk, soul music, etc
Andrea Benini is a musician, music producer and composer from Cesena, Italy, and is more commonly known as Mop Mop, or at least the head of a changing group of musicians who use that name. In 2005, collective Mop Mop released an album of cool vibes, spare paino lines, tight grooves (5 sample tracks, streaming on Grooveshark). The group has changed over the years, releasing a total of four albums, with the most recent, Isle of Magic, containing 13 tracks of pure voodoo jazz, Caribbean flavors, Afro-funk, exotic rhythms and soul music.

Stevie Wonder, in his prime. Jesus.
She took us there.
When Staple Singers hits like I'll Take You There and If You're Ready (Come Go With Me) came on the radio, it was easy to get lost in Mavis Staples' raspy, soulful lead vocals. But if you listened closer, a key element in the Chicago gospel-soul group's warmly distinctive sound was the deft soprano harmony of Mavis' sister Cleotha Staples, who died on Feb. 21 at age 78 in Chicago. RIP Cleotha Staples.

The line between science fiction and true science is often thin
In 1990, Isaac Asimov was working on a TV series to bridge science fiction and science fact, "synthesizing his visionary ideas about where humanity is going." He passed away in 1992, and the series never progressed beyond the pilot, which was re-worked and released as the documentary Visions of the Future (YouTube playlist, via Brainpickings, which calls the video "essentially, the antithesis to the Future Shock [documentary] narrated by Orson Welles").

Back before the musical lines were so clearly drawn
In decades past, R&B and soul artists didn't shy away from covering country songs. That's right, children, straight up country songs. And the results were often stunningly good. For example, Al Green's performance of Kris Kristofferson's For the Good Times (best known as a hit for country crooner Ray Price). Or Ray Charles' performance of Eddy Arnold's You Don't Know Me. Or Aretha Franklin's performance of country chestnut You Are My Sunshine, first recorded in 1939 by the Pine Ridge Boys. And... [more inside]

GRiZ - Mad Liberation. Take a 21 year old bedroom producer from Michigan, raise them on the the internet with a near complete access to the history of modern music with a focus on electronic/dance and apparently you get this incredibly humanistic and cross-cultural album that's both homage, monument and appropriation of hundreds of influences in modern music in an incredibly dubby dubstep framework.

Future Shock. Indeed.
'textbook definition of surrealism' In his epic new bio of James Brown, "The One"--an account of not just the man's life and music, but a panoramic view of African-American, southern and American political and cultural history of the 20th Century--author R.J. Smith briefly discusses "Future Shock," a dance show that Brown hosted in the mid-1970s. It aired on a pioneering Atlanta station, WTCG, a Ted Turner-owned UHF station that would become a satellite channel by the end of 1976. Along with the pay-only HBO (started in '75 in select markets), WTCG paved the way for a cable TV revolution. Its name would be changed to WTBS (otherwise known as Superstation WTBS) in 1979.

Sing us a Song to Keep us Warm, There's Such a Chill
In the wake of their grunge-y breakout hit "Creep" and the success of sophomore record The Bends, Thom Yorke and the rest of Radiohead were under pressure to deliver once more. So they shut themselves away inside the echoing halls of a secluded 16th century manor and got to work. What emerged from that crumbling Elizabethan castle fifteen years ago today was a shockingly ambitious masterpiece of progressive rock, a visionary concept album that explored the "fridge buzz" of modernity -- alienation, social disconnection, existential dread, the impersonal hum of technology -- through a mosaic of challenging, innovative, eerily beautiful music unlike anything else at the time. Tentatively called Ones and Zeroes, then Your Home May Be at Risk If You Do Not Keep Up Payments, the band finally settled on OK Computer, an appropriately enigmatic title for this acclaimed harbinger of millennial angst. For more, you can watch the retrospective OK Computer: A Classic Album Under Review for a track-by-track rundown, or the unsettling documentary Meeting People is Easy for a look at how the album's whirlwind tour nearly gave Yorke a nervous breakdown. Or look inside for more details and cool interpretations of all the tracks -- including an upcoming MeFi Music Challenge! [more inside]

RIP mister bassman, Donald "Duck" Dunn
Millions may know him best from one of the only lines he delivered in the Blues Brothers movie: "We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline". Others who notice these things will remember him as the guy who also played the bass in the Blues Brothers band. And those for whom Stax records and the Memphis sound are important will know him as the four-string foundation of the great Booker T and the MGs, and the man who lent his solid, no-frills bass lines to many a tune by soul luminaries Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and lots of other greats. Memphis-born bassman Donald "Duck" Dunn has died while on tour (along with fellow legend and bandmate Steve Cropper) in Tokyo. RIP, Duck Dunn, and if there's any goat piss in heaven, I know you're gonna turn it into gasoline up there, too.

Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace"
On January 13 and 14, 1972, Aretha Franklin sang during services at the Reverend James Cleveland's New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. The audio recordings released as Amazing Grace remain the largest-selling gospel album in history. However, of the 20 hours of 16mm film footage by Sydney Pollack - intended as a concert movie for tandem release - only a few snippets have ever been seen. (previously: 1, 2)

I had a moderate degree of interest in this game for reasons of nostalgia, but having played it on my iPad2 for the last 30 minutes am greatly disappointed. Not only is it nowhere near as open world as anything in the original Ultima series, it whores itself out to players immediately in an attempt to sell gold and silver keys to players for cash in order that they may unlock advanced loot from dungeon chests. I would have much preferred a graphically enhanced update to the original quest with a multiplayer component, sold for a flat fee through iTunes, than this present mess. It isn't even clear to me the investment in gold keys will even return to me in gaming enjoyment, and instead offends my sense of fair play and puts me on my anti-pay to win soap box. I feel like I could be missing content, but its not compelling enough a worry to commit to a $100 mound of keys. I hope Mythic enjoyed making this game for the sake of practice. And I haven't even mentioned the fact the app hung and crashed four times exiting a dungeon, which reset upon logging back in. Or the fact it REALLY wants to associate itself with my Facebook account ( and presumably advertise itself obnoxiously to my friends? No thanks ).

As so limiting into just a weapon based and magic based seems not that a bad idea. The problem, true, starts with the intended strategy like combat style that fails exactly in the strategy options, as being far too simplified. As for the microtransaction area it's fair offer compared with many others. And will not see another Ultima IV too soon. That went to rest with the classics. It belongs to an era when wasn't just go for the money, not that they didn't want to make money, but the fun of the game was also accounted.
Now back to basics I think the 3.5 rating is fair enough. I considered 4 but had some freezings too so that's the main reason.
To be fair I have been giving the game a bit more evaluation. It improves on the Ultima franchise in terms of eye candy and engine, but falls short in terms of complexity and game play. In the original series you had party members and turn based combat which lent to a more strategic style of play and required resource management. There is no currency system in this game other than keys. I'm curious if Mythic made that design choice to skirt the accusation that they are selling "gold".
Anyway, let me see if I can articulate a point : the difference between old school RPGs and the present generation of MMOs is really the difference between movies and books. The Ultima series engaged the imagination in the manner of a book, and was about problem solving. MMOs like WoW are about pomp and flash and visual effects, and this sells to a more ADD crowd who aren't interesting in thinking or IMAGINING. Ultima Forever fails to capture the imagination and it fails to draw the player into the game world, however crudely represented, in the manner of a compelling book. Instead we see a tribute to modern fed-ex style questing, and combat reward flashies that would make a slot machine developer proud.
One other criticism I have is that their "open world" has every point of interest level locked. In the old games, you could get your ass in over your head if you ventured into the wrong places. U4E doesn't allow you to take your chances. I would have enjoyed seeing random parties of monsters on the main map but it doesn't even have that.

My hype factor was already very low for this game... and that's coming from someone who played / beat all the Ultima's 1-9 + the two Ultima Underworlds, and the Worlds of Ultima spins.
The Ultima world was the vision of Richard Garriott who founded Ultima, but sold his company (Origin Systems, Inc) to EA in 1992. He stayed with the company a bit longer, but finally quit / was fired a few years later. He lost rights to everything Ultima related, except the title "Lord British", which he was able to fight in court as being associated to him personally, not intellectually. EA was forced to use Lady British instead, as evidence of this.
So new age Ultima's are really just empty souls of games created by completely different people interested in money rather than making the best game ever (EA shenanigans).
It will likely hook a bunch of people who don't know what's going on. They will just see the word Ultima and have memory flashbacks of the fun they had when they were younger... leading to an impulse buy.

Well its certainly true there is no commercial value to an old school Ultima RPG at this stage, but I often wonder WHY that has to be the case. Certainly people continue to READ books, and kids still enjoy making forts out of cardboard boxes. Is it possible that video games are just exempt to the timeless concept of fun, and instead becoming wholly lame simply by virtue of players being born to a certain generation? My first Ultima was 3, and I played the crap out of it on a Commodore 128 when I was just 14. It was my first real introduction to fantasy RPG, and I received endless hours of entertainment from the game, oddly, without even the perspective that I was working toward a goal. I think as an adult, I no longer IMAGINE, and partly as a consequence of my exposure to modern games, that leave nothing to the imagination. The old rudimentary tile based games were merely symbolic representations of persons, terrain and things, but with that came a bit of mystery and novelty. It's just the same difference again between movies and books. Books force you to construct things in your mind. Movies leave nothing to the imagination, and consequently fail to quietly immerse the way a book does. I suspect however that immersion isn't truly possible in an MMO because of the existence of other players. I think in a single player game, the player can relax into his character, read the story and enjoy the game mechanic, but in a multiplayer game, the player exhibits a social awareness that reduces npcs and story to being "not real" distractions. You worry about ladder rankings, the end game and your relative progress to other players instead of enjoying the moment. I can say anecdotally that the Internet nearly ruined my satisfaction playing Ultima 9, once it became apparent via forums that other players were completing the game in a fraction of the time I was. I had no clue until that point that there was a race to get to the end. Who the hell races each other to read a book? I guess my point is that the true RPG experience has diminished greatly and quickly due to the introduction of "massively multiplayer", at least, beyond the first generation of these games.

It is sad to see that you guys are in the same boat; is this game still worth checking out or should I skip it entirely? (I never played the original.)

- " Great little place, easy access to Museums and tram to downtown. Recommend Parking at the Olympia Stadion, arrive after 1000 and it is only 1 euro to park. Quick tram ride to Museum stop 3 blocks away. "

- " I stayed in the 12 bed female dorm. The room was nice but it got very hot at night and there are no ladders on the beds so people have to almost climb on you to get into their top bunk. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I needed directions for anything and the WiFi is good through out the whole house. I dont think the sheets were freshly washed though as there were makeup stains on one side of my pillow. "

- " Being that I stayed here during King's Day weekend, the price was absolutely insane. I wouldn't recommend this place for 70 bucks a night (like I had to pay: and that was one of the cheapest hostels!) There was only one bathroom on two floors, each with one toilet and one shower. Just in my dorm, there were 12 beds and there were three - four rooms on each floor. So you can imagine how the bathroom situation was. I didn't find a problem with it, but some of my roommates had. Overall cool place. "

- " . Claustrophobic cramped spaces, eye watering pink wallpaper, and one toilet+shower room shared between a whole floor (probably 30 people). Staff are unfriendly and extremely paranoid about letting people in. You cannot get in with your own key, but always have to buzz in and then show your card at the desk to prove you are staying there. Despite this the security is lax. Sometimes they just leave the front door open, and our room door didn't lock properly. It is very cheap though. "
- 22 Mar 2015 Anonymous Australia
- " There were only 3 bathrooms in the entire hostel and 1 was under construction, leaving 2 bathrooms for everyone staying in the hostel. The location was good but the quality of the hostel was sub-par--would not necessarily recommend. "

Join Chad Perkins, an author and videographer, as he introduces the essential concepts and techniques necessary for shooting video with a DSLR camera. Targeted at beginning videographers and anyone interested in shooting better video, this course covers cinematography basics, DSLR pitfalls, important gear, and postproduction workflow. Along the way, discover how to choose lenses, record audio, and make shots more professional.
This course was created and produced by Chad Perkins. We are honored to host this content in our library.
Brian Liepe: Viewfinders, like monitors, help the camera operator in shooting conditions that require a close eye on the footage that's being captured. For example, in really sunny locations, trying to see the LCD screen is extremely difficult. Even with shade, light is coming in from every direction, from the sun, bouncing up from the ground, just making it really hard to see what's going on. So use a viewfinder which keeps the light from obscuring your view of the LCD and seals in light at the point of contact with your eye.
I used a Zacuto Z-Finder for all these shots in Africa where the sunshine was way too bright to see my LCD if I didn't have it. The viewfinder typically magnifies the image anywhere from 1.5 times the actual size to three times the size, so that the image fills your field of vision when you're operating the camera.

Ned Yost was bunting in his baseball card
Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost called for four sacrifice bunts during his team's wild-card win over the Oakland A's on Tuesday night. Calling for that many bunts in today's game is almost unheard of, but Yost likes bunting more than a lot of other managers. He apparently liked it during his play days as…Read More

My family has chosen to take the Live Below the Line challenge. We are a family of 6, so our 5 day budget will be $45. I have am a homeschooling mom as well, so this is a great educational experience. I have started couponing and looking for the best deals at the grocery store. If you have any ideas on meal planning for 5 day on a budget of $45, please help me out. I have 4 kids ranging from 3-10. I will need to have kid friendly meals. I make a lot of my own food, so cooking is not an issue.
Also, if you are up for the challenge, join our family and take the challenge. We could start a thread and support each other for the 5 days. This could also help those trying to cut their grocery bill.
I frequently have 5 kids at my house to feed, mine and a friend's, & I jokingly call rice & bean bowls/bean tostadas/cheese and bean nachos the "loaves and fishes" meal - you can seriously feed a crowd with a package of tostadas and a couple of cans of beans (even cheaper from dried) plus a few simple condiments like homemade salsa (use canned tomatoes if fresh are too expensive), lettuce, etc. These are obviously kids who will eat beans. If you have a Mexican store nearby - bonus. There are many inexpensive Mexican meals that can be made for a larger group. Things like limes and tortillas are under a dollar there, dried beans and spices are cheap, etc.
The cheapest snack I make regularly is air-popped popcorn. We do put butter on it, though.
Good luck with the challenge!
Mom "D" to DD1 "Z" (15) and DD2 "I" (12) DH "M"
Homemade bread with PB&J (open faced), sliced carrots or apple for a side. We do cheese toast for lunch sometimes ... toast some bread, add some shredded cheese and put under the broiler for a few minutes to make it a bit crispy (top with some mustard or horseradish for extra kick) and a side of tomato soup (usually heated veggie juice with some added basil). Melt some shredded cheese on a tortilla, add some spices and beans, roll up and eat.
Im SO in with you! How have I never heard of this before? We were doing really well with groceries and then I started slipping and buying more then what we need and a lot of "treats" and have been feeling a physical and spiritual drain b-c of it
Another good one to temporarily get back on track and use up pantry items is
I did this for a week and only spent $25 plus pantry items. It worked fine & I don't have a large pantry at all.

I am terrified that a letter like this has been mailed to my old address.
All of the talk going on about lack of CBs and OCI sucking this year has me itching to transfer to Yale (before classes even start, I know...I'm gay). How hard would that be from Chicago (would top 15-25% do it seeing as its not much more than lateral move)?
It sounds so reasonable when you say it.
Yeah...seriously lol...my life has always been in chicago, I didn't even apply to any non-midwest schools...now I REALLY want to go to Yale (I dont think H or S would be worth the hassle for a negligibly more marketable degree). I am wondering how difficult that would be.

Delicious Chocalate
Off of the main street of Zichron Yaakov (Hameyasadim Street/Hamidrachov Pedestrian Street), there is a small chocolate shop called Xocoatl. The owner runs the shop himself and is very friendly and helpful. He offers about 15 different flavors that vary throughout the year.
When I was there I tried the blueberry, milk chocolate ganache, pomegranate, salted caramel, and even a chili flavor. They were all delicious.
What was really special about this small shop is that if you ask him, he will explain to you how the cocoa bean is transformed into chocolate. The shop owner prides himself in making the chocolates from scratch which is apparently a very rare practice in the food industry of Israel. You can really taste the difference.
The store is located up a cute stairway decorated with some chocolate themed posters. Overall, the store was cute, air conditioned, and a fast stop along a shopping/touring trip in town.

Ramat Ha-Nadiv Memorial Park
"Ha-Nadiv ha-Yadooa" ("the well known benefactor") was the nickname of Baron Binyamin Edmond de-Rothschild, who generously supported some of the first Zionist agricultural settlements ("Moshavot") in the Land of Israel in the late 19th century. His support was essential for the fledgling farms, struggling to survive against all odds.
In 1954 the Baron's bones, together with his wife Ada's, were transferred from Europe by an Israeli Navy ship to a new memorial park south of Zichron-Yaakov, one of the Moshavot he had supported in the past and were so dear to his heart.
Today this is a beautiful, large park (4500 dunams), situated on a gentle slope of Mt. Carmel, and unique in Israel for beauty and size.
Above the entrance gate you can see the Rothschild family's coat of arms, with five arrows representing the five sons of the founder of the family. Among other attractions, there is a rose garden with a sun-dial, an "aroma garden" with spices and other aromatic plants, a tropical palm-tree garden and a small cascade garden.
In 2008 a new visitor center was built, with an exhibition, an auditorium showing a short film about the history of the Rothschilds and about the site, and other services. Outside the memorial park there is a large nature park with short and medium-length hiking trails in nature. Trail maps can be downloaded from the website, or purchased for NIS 2 in the visitor center. There is also a picnic sute nearby.
After a morning in the historical center of Zichron-Yaakov, this is a perfect place to spend the afternoon!

"Wine Road" Pedestrian Street
Zichron Yaakov is fortunate that it escaped the construction frenzy which turned many former Israeli villages and small towns into modern cities.
Its old Main Street, "Rehov Ha-Meyasdim" (Street of the Founders), as most of the old Moshava (village), has escaped modern development and retains its original character.
In more recent years it was lovingly restored and is now a very pleasant pedestrian street.
The facades were restored with original architectural elements of the old farmhouses. You can still see the enclosures which used to be farmyards and are now lined with old-style shops and galleries.
The street has been renamed "Wine Road", as it ends in the Carmel winery.
It has many specialty shops, restaurants and cafes, and is a focus of attraction for many visitors from Israel and abroad.
You can stroll up and down the street, dine or have a drink, and feel the spirit of the founding fathers and the Baron Rothschild still lingering here.

Here at the Tishbi Vineyard is the ONLY place that I know of that provides you with a "filling station"..you bring your own bottle and fill it. You pay per liter and the last time we were there it was only 17 Israeli Shekel per liter (that is about US3.5), a very good price.

Tishbi, a good selection
This is Arie my friend who goes with us on our Wine&Cheese trips...yes, exactly, we take trips just for the express purpose of visiting vineyards and producers of cheese..you can find them in their dozens all over Israel, so each time we choose a different area and just go from one to the next till we acquire enough for a picnic and to take home of course !!
- Wine Tasting
Inside Tishbi vineyards
This is the sign you have to keep your eyes open for, it is just around a curve of the road and if you are coming from the south, the road also has a white line that you cannot cross, so you must drive a few hundred meters further to make a turn and come back.

The view from Zichron Yaakov
The view from Zichron Yaakov is very beautiful.
You can see the mountains and from the other side you can enjoy the beautiful view of the sea.
The place itself looks like something european and people called Zichron Yaakov "small provance"

You can enjoy beautiful landscapes from the top of the tower.

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
John Walton offers some important reminders in this video with regard to how we should approach a reading of the book of Genesis. While it is a text that is written for us—in the sense that it was written for all people in all times and places—it was not written to us.
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.

When Mark Sanford finally revealed where he had been during his six-day absence, Jenny Sanford was noticeably absent at the hastily scheduled press conference.
Unlike other scorned political spouses before her, Jenny Sanford didn't stand alongside her cheating husband as he admitted his affair to the media.
Lalla Lee Campsen said she doesn't know if Jenny Sanford made the decision not to attend.
"I don't know if she was asked to go or not, but knowing what I know of Jenny, I don't believe she would have been there had she been given the choice," she said.
"She would not, in my opinion — if given that choice — because she's strong, and she's not going to stand by and condone that behavior or appear that she's doing so," Chip Campsen said.
The Campsens were with Jenny Sanford as she watched her husband admit the details of his deception.
"It was a very painful time for her, even though she was aware — as the public became aware of where he'd been," Lalla Lee Campsen said. "It truly was a day filled with sadness and grief, but it was also a day filled with love and support and hope.
"Jenny has held onto hope and she has four huge reasons to hold onto hope and her four sons -- and she realizes, if at all possible, reconciliation would be the best for her and for the future generations of her family," she said.
While Jenny Sanford has stated her desire to try and revive her broken marriage, her husband has also been vocal about his feelings.
Gov. Sanford said his mistress was his soul mate, but that he would try to fall in love again with his wife of 20 years.
The philandering politician's statements haven't won him any bonus points with South Carolina residents, some of whom are calling for his resignation.
The Campsens didn't say how Jenny Sanford felt about the revelation, but did have view on it themselves.
"My reaction is that I was very disappointed in that and that certainly did not help matters," Chip Campsen said. "I often use the analogy that a marriage is like a boat. And either you're pumping water into the boat or you're pumping water out of the boat. He needed to be pumping water out of the boat and not in it."
The governor's statement wasn't a game changer for the Sanfords' marriage, but it did put additional strain on the tense situation, Chip Campsen said.
The Campsens said for the marriage to be saved, there must be forgiveness and reconciliation.
"I think actually she said she's willing to forgive Mark and work toward reconciliation," Lalla Lee Campsen said. "But reconciliation really takes humility on the part of Mark and of others and a desire — as we know, it takes two to tango. And she's willing to put forth effort. She married Mark for better or worse and this is the worst. And she took that commitment very seriously."

Weigh Enough?
- Published on October 15, 2011

Another very bad year for honey in Vermont.
Some home type bee keepers have told me they haven't looked in their hives yet. They are in for a surprise, a bad one.
I started feeding my bees a month ago and wonder if I fed them enough. 10 pounds each so far for both nukes and full hive.
I need to rock them the estimate the weight.
Then get a lot more sugar.
I use a 2 gallon bucket and put very hot water 2/3 full and start pouring in two 5 pound bags of sugar as I stir madly. Then let it sit and cool and be sure it is all disolved before pouring it in hive top feeders. A few bees are sneaky and get by the sides and die in the syrup but only a half dozen or so. And then other bugs get there too.
It is cheaper to feed bees than try to get new nukes each year, but if climate change brings rain during the honey flow time, it isnt worth it. Maybe there is a new disease that makes bees not work hard to bring in honey, but there are a lot of them and they are flying a lot during nice days.
Anyone have any thoughts or observations on this?

Group: Corpus Christi incentive offer exaggerated by company
Solar module company chose Michigan town for new plant
CORPUS CHRISTI - A company that picked a Michigan town instead of Corpus Christi to establish a solar module facility misrepresented its Texas incentive offer when it applied for the $24 million in incentives Michigan awarded the company.
The misrepresentations, first reported by the nonprofit Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland, Mich., came after Corpus Christi's incentive offer expired and Texas rejected GlobalWatt's application for state incentives.
GlobalWatt company executives couldn't be reached for comment.
Corpus Christi offered $2.8 million in incentives to GlobalWatt, which in 2009 proposed a $189 million facility that it said would bring 400 jobs to the city. The $2.8 million offer, which would have been paid for from a one-eighth cent sales tax aimed at economic growth, was performance-based and required the company to prove it hired the number of people each year as planned.
On the company's November 2009 application to the Michigan Economic Growth Authority, however, the company wrote that Texas offered a significant incentive package and claimed that local and state governments offered upfront cash to assist setting up the plant, according to documents released in response to open records requests filed by the Mackinac Center.
"Both the state and local government have offered substantial upfront cash incentives sufficient to fund a module lines in the first year and recruit and train employees. Property tax abatements have also been offered," the application said.
The Mackinac Center made a public plea to the state attorney general for an investigation and asked for the Michigan Economic Development Corp. to re-examine the incentives.
As of last week the agency had not done so. GlobalWatt's website says equipment arrived at its facility last month.
Corpus Christi's incentive package, which was approved by the City Council in June 2009, required the company to set up an office in Corpus Christi by October 2009.
At the time of the offer, company representatives said they planned to break ground on a facility that September. The company missed that deadline, so the incentive offer was no longer valid when the company made the claim on the Michigan paperwork.
There also was no public discussion or award of a tax abatement as claimed on the forms.
The state of Texas did not offer any incentives. The company applied for a grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund — which gives incentives for job creation — but was denied.
Michigan offered GlobalWatt $14 million in incentives to encourage the company to go to Michigan over Corpus Christi. In addition, the Saginaw City Council approved $10 million in incentives for the company.
Michigan's Economic Development Corp. didn't check the company's claims, said Nate Pilon, the corporation's marketing and community manager.
"We wouldn't call Corpus Christi or Lima, Ohio, or Miami, Fla., and say, 'Are you guys offering this?'" he said. "We have a process in place. We vet the company. We look at what they want to do. We have a really good idea what other states offer and what is considered to be competitive."
Competing sites can factor into what the Michigan Economic Development Corp. offers, Pilon said.
"We're going to give them the best deal we can regardless of what was offered in Texas," he said.

I just want to meet someone as weird as I am. If that scares you then please don't waste your time!
I am generally a happy person. I love to laugh, and often times crack myself up. I can be very passionate when need be. I also enjoy being by myself. I like to write and read and practice my ukelele. I meditate, do yoga, and enjoy any type of energy work. I have such a thirst for knowledge I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to fulfill my needs. I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, and a friend. I take my roles seriously, not bc I believe in labels but bc I believe in relationships and love and I think everyone is deserving of that. I like to stick up for the quiet and the abused. I try and be the best person I can be, but I'm also learning to forgive myself if I have a bad day. I can't save everyone I realize, but I can work on myself. Sometimes staying present is more helpful to those around me than anything I could do or say. Mindfulness is important to me. I'm ok with who I am, finally :) I am weird, I am brilliant, I am beautiful, I am silly, and I am me!

Dancing, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
Some other viewpoint
I like Frankfort Ave and Bardstown Rd area. I think New Albany's downtown is picking up too which is nice. I like to go on little road trips too. Sometimes you just need to get away. Also, music venues and festivals are probably my fave things
I took a 15 year break from new music and basically listened to The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, CCR just to name a few. But finally, thanks to WFPK I am enjoying new music again. I like bluegrass, blues, rock, etc.
I love being outdoors. I like camping and hiking, but haven't had the opportunity to do much lately. I like concerts, indoors and outdoors. I love watching movies. I like to sit around and listen to some good music too and drink good beer!

I need clutch advice.
I replaced the aftermarket clutch perch and lever with an OEM clutch perch and lever because I keep breaking clutch cables. The clutch was working perfectly but it is at a slight angle which may contribute to stress on the cable.
When doing this I used the same cable that was on the aftermarket perch (and working) but after the replacement, the clutch actuator won't disengage the gearing.
I thought the clutch plates were wet locked so I lowered the bike and started it in neutral and pulled the clutch lever in and clicked it into gear and the bike died.
I did this three times and adjusted the lever from loose to tight and got the same result. Figuring that there was slightly better pull on the after market perch I put it back on and got the same result.
The manual states the the clutch actuator post should be rotated counter clockwise toward the engaged position (towards the center of the motor). It is positioned as indicated.
What am I missing here? The only other thing I can think of is the clutch actuator fork has somehow become fouled up. Thoughts?
