Soul (CD, LP)
Two classic albums from Martha Velez – back to back in a single set! Fiends & Angels features badass work from Martha Velez – a rock singer at the core, but one with some plenty soulful touches! The album's a UK effort with help from a host of top-shelf talents at the time – but the groove is pretty gritty, and almost has that key rock/funk crossover mode that female singers were hitting in the US – a somewhat colorblind groove that often worked better for a singer like Velez than it did for male vocalists trying for a similar groove. Drums are nice and heavy on some cuts, and the album sports organ from Brian Auger, guitar from Eric Clapton, and heavy bass from Jack Bruce. Titles include "Swamp Man", "I'm Gonna Leave You", "Drive Me Daddy", "Feel So Bad", "Tell Mama", "Very Good Fandango", "A Fool For You", and "Come Here Sweet Man". On Escape From Babylon, Martha Velez gets some heavy help from Bob Marley – who produced the album with a bit of extra help from Lee Perry! The set's a nice mix of Martha's soulfully-styled vocals and Marley's Kingston rhythms – a blend that has similar appeal to some of Serge Gainsbourg's reggae-related projects, but in a slightly different style overall – almost more Marley-like in the end, with Bob pushing Martha into his side of the musical spectrum, instead of the other way around. Backing vocals are by the I-Three – and titles include "Wild Bird", "Money Man", "Happiness", "Get Up Stand Up", "Disco Night", and "Come On In". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Yo Yo Honey Singh will not sell the UAE villa, assures the Delhi High court

After landing in huge trouble Honey Singh has assured the court that he will not sell his UAE villa because his wife Shalini Talwar also owns the rights of the property. In the latest hearing of the court, Honey Singh said that he will not sell his property without the consent of his wife.
During the last hearing, Honey Singh's wife Shalini Talwar filed an application in court in a domestic violence case alleging that her husband is in the process of creating third-party rights and disposing of certain assets in Dubai.
Following the application, the Delhi court issued a notice to Honey Singh of restraining orders from creating third-party rights of the immovable and movable assets owned by him or his companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Honey Singh's wife has claimed that he has a "posh villa" in Dubai measuring 333.73 square meters which Honey Singh had purchased for her through one of his companies incorporated abroad.
Shalini Talwar told the court that her husband had executed a General Power of Attorney on November 19, 2019, in her favour, giving her rights and control over all his movable and immovable assets situated in UAE. She said that there is a "grave apprehension" that her husband may revoke that General Power of Attorney. She has requested the court to restrain Honey Singh from revoking the power of attorney, from disposing of or creating third-party rights of assets he owns in Dubai individually or through his company.
The next hearing will now be heard on 28 September 2021. Honey Singh's wife Shalini Talwar had filed a case of domestic violence, mental harassment, financial fraud and sexual violence against the 38-year-old musician, his parents and his younger sister in Delhi's Tis Hazari court on August 3. She had also asked for Rs 20 crore as compensation from him under the Protection of Women From Domestic Violence Act.
In the complaint, Talwar has accused Singh of going to extreme lengths to hide the fact that he was married, cheated on her and became addicted to alcohol and drugs. She said he had 'casual sex with multiple women' and would not take her on his singing tours.
Honey Singh had issued a statement calling the allegations 'false and malicious'.

For us it has been about being fast and light ever since our first interest in adventure sports, running, and cycling. Lighter meant faster, whether it was a light road bike, or lighter road racing flats for a 10k or half-marathon, or lighter bivi gear for an Alpine north face, lighter ski touring bindings, they were all key to going faster.
Both Edyta and Tim, the main drivers behind FAST AND LIGHT, have been living, running, skiing, cycling and climbing in the Mont Blanc and Geneva region for several decades. For Tim, who back-in-the-day was an accomplished fell and trail runner with decent PBs on the road too, he has been obsessed with looking for the latest light weight gear to go faster in any of the sports he is passionate about, whether it was for ascents on the North Faces of the Eiger, Grand Jorasses or Matterhorn, expeditions to the Himalayas or winning at the Karrimor International Mountain Marathon (now known as the OMM), or getting to remote locations for photo and film shoots, the gear was an important factor in any successful trip.
Tim's sport led him to become a professional photographer, focusing on mountain sports and skiing, and way back in 1991 he founded Fall-Line magazine which in 1993 became the first pan-European free ski and snowboard magazine. In 1993 he also organized the first free ride competition in Europe on the Brevent in Chamonix (won by Bruno Compagnet, one of the founders for Black Crow skis.
Moving on from Fall-Line, Tim went on to work with Tissot for Sport Sponsoring for the cycling World Cups and World Championships, but continued to shoot photography for the big sports catalogues several times a year for premium outdoor retailers such as Snow and Rock, Decathlon, Cotswold Outdoor and Blacks.
Edyta has been designing and selling her own clothing and outdoor clothing line since 2011, and with her two boys competing at alpine skiing, ski jumping and ice hockey she knows the importance of keeping fit to keep up with them both.
Our experience and enthusiasm for all things running an outdoor sports is carried over in to the FAST AND LIGHT brand. Long may it do so!

I wore Jeans ,low heel boots, upscale top.casual top would've been fine too. Warm inside theatre..
There are steep stairs down to the theater. There is an elevator but be sure it's functioning (which means the gate and door have to be closed (on the second floor or the basement) before it can be sent to the street level. If it doesn't come in a minute, someone has to close the gate on whatever floor the elevator is on before the person who needs the elevator can it.
Get a glass of wine... you're allowed to take it in!
Eat at Sears, around the corner. Take the 2 or 3 Muni.
The box office didn't open until about 5 minutes before the show and although the theater was small the cast would have benefited from a microphone especially on quiet lines and sung notes at the lower end of their range.
Good and cheap (for S.F.) parking can be found at the Sutter-Stockton Garage.
The theater needs a good cleaning as it is probably moldy. I notice that it is always cold in that particular space in this multi-theater building. I wonder if it is attempt to mask the smell. it doesn't.
Lori's Diner, 500 Sutter St. (NW cor. of Powell & Sutter) is a 24 hour diner with a wide selection of items, breakfast items available at all hours; my favorite: their 'world famous corned beef hash' w/ eggs and potatoes), pizza, and the whole place decorated with original 1950s memorabilia including an Edsel motor car.
Nice little bar outside - bring drinks .
Bring a cushion as seats are hard.
We went to a Tratto-an Italian bistro at 501 Geary, a few blocks from the theater. It was excellent with generous portions depsite what the reviews said. We had the best calamari we've ever had and we've had it hundreds of times! Service is stellar, atmosphere if fun and it will be a go to in the future!
The weather was beautiful. I wore my usual casual ware. Pants, top and jacket. No need to dress up unless you want to..
You have to go downstairs to the bartended to get our tickets for Shelton performances. You walk through an obscure door that is in the bar to get to the theater. It is open seating.
The weather was cool since it was a night show.. I wore A black dress and matching boots, with a leather jacket..
Went with friends, we took muni from the Outer Richmond- got off at Powell and walked few blocks.

Can you play the game with 60fps right now?
The Pre - Alpha players have singed a NDA, so the chosen players are not allowed to say anything about it.
The Alpha 1 (currently planned start is end of January) will not be under NDA anymore, so you can expect information / gameplay videos which will answer that question.
And even if they could, it would still depend on his computer.
That said, you should never expect an optimized product during any alpha phase.
Also, there could be a difference between server loaded with 50 people and server loaded with 10,000 people.
We will have to wait for beta for the real test.

Did shutdown 'poison the well' for immigration reform?
Prospects for a comprehensive immigration reform bill remain cloudy after a bruising shutdown fight for Republicans that left hard feelings in Washington even as activists continue to push their cause.

Pushing for immigration reform

Prospects for a comprehensive immigration reform bill remain cloudy after a bruising shutdown fight for Republicans that left hard feelings in Washington even as activists continue to push their cause.
"The president's actions and attitude over the past couple of weeks have certainly poisoned the well and made it harder to work together on any issue," said a GOP leadership aide asked about the chances of major immigration legislation making it to the White House.
Republican leaders say they remain committed to fixing the nation's broken immigration system. But, as the dust settles from the shutdown mess, both sides say that the time isn't exactly optimal for a Kumbaya moment.
Oct. 18, 201304:00
"There will definitely have to be a cooling off period," said Marshall Fitz, the director of immigration policy for the progressive Center for American Progress. Republicans hold "a sense of, 'Yes, we lost, but we won't back down,'" he said. "It certainly feels like the fever has not broken."
The ink wasn't even dry on the bill to end the debt impasse Wednesday night before the president revived the issue of immigration reform as a top domestic priority.
"Let's not leave this problem to keep festering for another year or two years or three years," President Barack Obama said, even as House Republicans prepared to swallow a debt bill that contained almost no concessions from Democrats. "This can and should get done by the end of this year."
That would mean cooperation across the aisle – and between both chambers of Congress – in the fewer than 25 remaining legislative days before lawmakers leave town for the holidays.
The comprehensive immigration reform effort stalled over the summer after the Senate passed sweeping legislation to overhaul border security, require employer verification of workers' status and create a lengthy path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. House Republicans declined to put that bill on the floor of the lower chamber, instead working on smaller pieces of immigration legislation.
The logic for some supporters of reform is that – if House Speaker John Boehner put the Senate-passed immigration reform bill on the House floor, it would pass with a bipartisan majority, similar to Wednesday's margin on the must-do debt limit bill.
In an interview with Univision, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that he hopes the shutdown fight means the end of Boehner's refusal to bring legislation to the floor that doesn't have the support of the majority of Republicans.
"If immigration were brought to the floor tomorrow it would pass overwhelming in the House of Representatives, overwhelmingly," Reid said. "The American people want it, it would reduce the debt by a trillion dollars. It's long overdue."
But there's no indication that scenario is more likely now than it was for the months when Boehner insisted he would stick with the House's "step-by-step" process instead. Despite warnings that the GOP may be doing permanent damage to its brand by failing to take action on a comprehensive bill, there's little appetite among many House Republicans to take up another controversial issue that would require legislative diplomacy with Democrats, who they say negotiated in "bad faith" on the debt crisis.
The House has instead been working on smaller pieces of immigration legislation designed to strengthen border security, create a guest worker program and require employment verification. Another proposal being worked on by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., would allow some children who were brought the United States illegally as children to obtain legal status.
But many House members are concerned that even piecemeal legislation that passes the lower chamber would lead to a "conference" with the Senate bill that would inject Democratic principles: chief among them being a path to citizenship – or at least legalization -- for most of the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. That's something many conservatives decry as "amnesty" that's unfair to legal immigrants.
Even some Republican backers of a comprehensive reform effort say that passing anything that requires negotiation with Democrats is a bad idea.
"For us to go to a negotiation, to the negotiating table with President Obama after what he has done over the last two and a half weeks, I think would be probably a very big mistake," Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Id., told the Huffington Post this week. Labrador, who was once a member of a bipartisan House group seeking middle ground on immigration, said that passing even small immigration bills in the House is now "not worth doing."
Without those conversations – or even bills to meld together at all – Democrats would be left without their most important must-have in a bill to solve the sweeping issues of undocumented immigration.
"We're not going to have an immigration reform bill this year, or next year, that doesn't deal with the 11 million," Fitz predicted. "People are hungering for a solution. These piecemeal measures may step in the right direction for some, but they're clearly not going to solve the whole problem."
In the Univision interview, Reid made clear that he's not willing to accept anything less than a solution on citizenship, either.
"I will never agree to anything that doesn't have a pathway to citizenship," he said.

I have a terrible confession to make: I think I like Jacob Rees-Mogg. Believe me, this comes as a shock to me more than to any reader of this blog (who must be broad minded to still be reading it). Logically, this change of heart makes no sense. Jacob and I are chalk and cheese. He is a very English, upper-middle class, privately-educated, Tory, Brexiteer Catholic monarchist Unionist married father of six; I am none of these things. Other than language and number of legs, we have nothing in common. Watching his contributions to debates in the Commons, I had dismissed him as a standard-issue, bool-moothrd denizen of the snug Home Counties.
Well, it seems I was wrong.
Yesterday, he intervened in a Commons debate about a private member's bill. He cited Hansard with the fluency of a man who had written it in support of his contention that only the government may ask parliament for money. I normally deplore jobsworths who hide behind dusty documents to make their case. But Jacob made it with such lucid clarity, while being both gracious and generous with interventions that I found myself watching in admiration. Though I disliked his contention, I found myself conceding that he was right. This was most unsettling.
Then today, he appeared as Guest of Honour on BBC2's Daily Politics. Despite having a clip shown of him as an insufferably precautions 12 year old, he acquitted himself with both dignity and conviction in discussions: he defended his Catholicism against a probing Jo Coburn; abortion against an outraged Jo Swinson and his hard Brexit stance against a Cambridge don. So what; any politician would have stood their ground.
But it was how he stood his ground that impressed. Precise and articulate, he made his views clear without being didactic. He listened and acknowledged other views without being condescending. Most importantly—considering the weasly way the average politician avoids answering—he came across as sincere, not defensive and someone with conviction in his strong beliefs. The most telling of all was it during the link with the new Mayor of Sheffield, Magid Magid. It would be hard to imagine someone more alien to Jacob than a 28-year-old black Somali refugee muslim from the Green party and I expected this to be a hurdle at which he would fall.
Not a bit of it. He went beyond simple recognition and congratulation to establish a rapport of obvious enthusiasm for the changes Magid hopes to make in Sheffield. This was no Hooray Henry, given to snapping fingers at waiters. This was no Sloan Ranger, easily out of their depth in a multicultural metropolis. The man displayed intelligence, articulate wit, graciousness, depth and subtlety in measures that I had seriously underestimated. Should he chance to read this, I offer my fulsome apology for such a mistake.
The sole remaining negative thing I have to say about him is that I regret is likely progression to greater things in politics, if just because I hold diametrically opposing views to his on just about anything—even as I relish the elevated quality of debate.
