On the day of Live Aid, comedian Chevy Chase introduced the video from Philadelphia following Queen's momentous set from London. But, by the end of a thirteen hour period, the single was recorded and the video made.ĭavid Bowie & Mick Jagger's Dancing In The Street single. The video ends with Mallett's camera zooming in on Bowie and Jaggers' arses, waggling in unison. Two hugely-successful musicians that influenced successive generations are captured looking like embarrassing dads. It's this playful irreverence that causes many people to cringe. This prompted Bowie - dressed in a jumpsuit and long raincoat - to play up to the cameras too. Mallett kept it simple: the performers improvised some moves, with Mick throwing out some of his best Jaggerisms. They were hurried to the Millennium Mills in London's Docklands to work swiftly with director David Mallett, who Bowie had collaborated with on the ground-breaking Ashes To Ashes video.ĭavid Bowie - Ashes To Ashes (Official Video) Mick doesn’t bother with politeness, he’s more the like the mad leader of the gang, shouting out ideas to the troops."Ī rough version of the track was completed in four hours, then it was time for Bowie and Jagger to make the infamous video. ![]() Alamy Stock PhotoĬonti remembered the difference between the two superstars in the studio: "Bowie was, as always, very polite, a real gentleman.

The song was recorded on 29 June 1985 at Westside studios in London, where Bowie was working on two songs for the soundtrack to the movie Absolute Beginners. The opening line is "Calling out around the world", which linked nicely with the "Global Jukebox" idea of Live Aid Simple! The song chosen was the 1964 Motown classic from Martha And The Vandellas, Dancing In The Street. The compromise was to record a single together, make a video quickly and play the clip on the big screens at Wembley and JFK. Jagger and Bowie perform Dancing In The Street for the only time at the Prince's Trust 10th Birthday show at Wembley Arena on 20 June 1986. One solution was that one of them had to mime, and neither Jagger nor Bowie wanted that. What do you think of the Nickelback single? Is Chad Kroeger a rock 'n' roll genius or a walking atrocity? Give us your views in the usual place.However, combining the two performances proved to be too much of a nightmare for 1985 technology - a half second delay via the satellite link would mean that one or both of the performers would be thrown out by the timing. To help you make your mind up, here's the vid: Well, there are two possible explanations: either a) we've warmed to Chad Kroeger's humorous and original look at the rocker lifestyle, or b) we're all just suckers for mildly amusing music videos with celebrities in. ![]() So how do we explain this lapse in taste from the British record-buying public? Not since the days of Robson and Jerome, Zig and Zag and Wet Wet Wet have we experienced this kind of chart shocker. The track's success is made even more baffling by its age: it's taken from the band's 2005 album All The Right Reasons, an LP that pretty much sank without trace upon its original release. As we saunter through the early months of '08, we find the hairy guitar-sluggers back at the top of the pop tree with their 'Rockstar' single, which has slowly wiggled - like a rather sinister snake - up to number three in the charts. The grunge-lite stomp of 'How You Remind Me', which wooed the nation back in 2001, was far enough in the past to be dismissed as an unfortunate and ill-judged fling - Chad Kroeger, the band's beardy, gruff-voiced singer had long since scuttled back to his native Canada.Īlas, the story does not end there. At the end of 2007, Nickelback seemed like a distant and rather uncomfortable memory. Never underestimate the power of a decent music video or the British punter's ability to baffle. ![]()

Area courts butler county11/19/2023 ![]() The Right to Confront The State's Witnesses The Court may impose penalties on witnesses who fail to appear in Court as required. Witnesses may also appear willingly in Court. This order is a "subpoena" and it is mailed or delivered to each witness. The Court will issue an order that each witness appear on the date of your trial. You, or the attorney representing you, must provide to the Court the name and address of each witness you want to appear in Court. You have this right in both a jury trial and a bench trial. You have the right to bring witnesses on your behalf into Court to testify. The Right To Have Witnesses Testify On Your Behalf If the Court determines that you do not have the resources to pay for an attorney, the Court may appoint an attorney to represent you.

Overworld to nether coords converter11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() There are many different ways to do this, so you will want to find the one that best suits your needs. It may be worth it to install some sort of protection against these hazards. If you travel through the nether frequently, mobs such as ghasts and piglins can be a nuisance, as well as the possibility of getting lost at any wrong turn. To improve the look of the portal, place cheaper blocks such as wood blocks or chiseled stone bricks. It may not look as nice, but it will give you four extra blocks of obsidian. If you are running low on obsidian, you may want to consider taking the corners off of the generated portal.

Hillsong pastor dies covid11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Citing investigation participants’ privacy, the email only vaguely details the pastors as having “failed to meet the commitments and standards” of Hillsong, before offering a brief apology “to those who felt disappointed or hurt.”Ĭelebrity pastor Carl Lentz’s alleged lover tells all: ‘I was a drug to him’ We suspended him from his pastoral duties as we initiated a review into these incidents,” the Houstons wrote, adding that the Bogards “decided to resign” early in the investigation process, which has since concluded. “We received several complaints regarding Reed Bogard’s failure to uphold the standards of Hillsong leadership. Before becoming top dog at the Texas branch, Reed Bogard served as the head of finances at Hillsong NYC, where former members alleged that he and Jess exploited congregants for free labor and used tithe money to fund their luxury lifestyles. The email goes on to detail a previously unannounced internal investigation into the Dallas branch’s former lead pastors, Reed and Jess Bogard, who quietly and suddenly resigned in January after more than a decade of employment at the once-celebrity-beloved international worship chain. “When the time is right and we have identified and trained suitable lead pastors, we will consider relaunching.” “Many factors, all amplified by the pandemic, have resulted in the difficult decision to pause all operations at Hillsong Dallas for now,” Brian and Bobbie Houston, the husband-and-wife team who co-founded Hillsong and currently share the title of global senior pastors, wrote to congregants in a Saturday email that was forwarded to The Post.

Nielsen massey vanilla bean paste11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight, to extract the full flavor of the vanilla beans and allow the base to chill completely. Set the bowl of the hot cream and yolk mixture over another bowl of ice water and cool to room temperature. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture over the egg yolks, while whisking constantly. Once the mixture has come to a full boil, remove from the stovetop.Īdd the remaining ½ cup of sugar to the bowl of egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil, while stirring occasionally. In a large saucepot, combine the milk, cream, ¼ cup sugar, salt, and the seeds and pods of the vanilla beans or vanilla bean paste. Place the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. ![]() ![]() If using whole vanilla beans, split and scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans. 2 Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans or 2 tablespoons Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste.This vanilla bean gelato recipe is highly customizable – check out the notes section for tips on how to transform the recipe to suit your tastebuds, including the simple trick for making any gelato into the chocolatey Stracciatella version pictured above. Our version of this classic dessert uses real vanilla bean seeds to enhance the flavor and visual appeal of the treat. Gelato’s distinct texture and flavor are due to the higher proportion of milk to cream than is typically found in ice cream, which reduces the amount of fat in the final product and helps the flavorings used in gelato recipes shine through. This unique curing process, along with the rich soil and growing conditions, helps create the unique, rich, and highly complex flavor profile Madagascar vanilla is known for.Vanilla Bean Gelato Although gelato is Italian for ice cream, it is much richer, creamier and denser than its American counterpart. The farmers then store the beans in sweat boxes before beginning the routine of spreading beans in the sun and packing them away at night. In Madagascar, the curing process is similar to that of Mexico with one slight difference the farmers initiate the curing process by immersing the green vanilla beans in hot water for a short time. Combined with the hot, humid climate and rich soil, hand pollination by the country’s skilled and patient farmers has enabled Madagascar to become the world’s top vanilla producer in both quantity and quality. Growers could choose the best flowers and properly space them out on the vine, resulting in a healthier and higher quality vanilla pod. ![]() In 1841, Edmond Albius of Réunion developed an efficient method for fertilizing vanilla flowers by hand.Įventually, hand pollination was perfected on a commercial scale. It wasn’t until 1836 that Charles Morren, a Belgian botanist, discovered the link between the bee and the plant’s pollination. Without the Melipona bee, vanilla’s indigenous pollinator in Mexico, the flowers were only occasionally pollinated by local insects. The vines grew successfully with beautiful blossoms but seldom resulted in vanilla pods. For almost 50 years after its arrival at Réunion, the growth and production of vanilla was difficult. Hence, when we refer to Madagascar Bourbon, we’re referring to the region and not to the liquor.Īround 1793, a vanilla vine was smuggled from Mexico to the Bourbon Island of Réunion. Located just east of the southern portion of Africa, the area known as the Bourbon Islands includes the islands of Réunion, Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoro and Seychelles. ![]()

Wim hof method reviews11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Hof’s breathing method helped me fall asleep without sleeping pills. I could even feel the physiological changes in my body. I was, indeed, able to achieve deeper levels of meditation and more immediately access calmness and inner peace. Since reading Wim Hof’s book, I’ve been using Hof’s breathing method for several weeks for my meditation practice. It took years before I began to see real results, but one day, I woke up and realized that I had indeed changed my mind and body, without medicine, but with patient attentive breathing. Meditation, however, is a slow-acting medicine. ![]() Before I began regularly meditating, I was chronically depressed and angry. Meditation, in all its forms, is powerful. Some of it sounds woo-woo to write about, but experience and description are often different continents, and I’ll grant the skeptic his or her skepticism for finding some of this all too far afield. Sat under banyan trees that have been struck by lightning. I’ve been guided by Joe Dispenza on hypnotic journeys through my energy centers, where I have “opened up the field” and have had some of the deepest insights about my life and purpose in the process. While living in New York, I even tried breathwork, a much more active type of meditation (I felt euphoria and experienced mild hallucinations, a not-uncommon experience). Attending Josh Korda’s Dharma Punx NYC meditations exposed me to body scanning techniques, loving-kindness practice, and others. For years I practiced this type of meditation. There are passive forms of meditation that require nothing more than for the person to sit still, focus on the free-flowing breath, and patiently wait for transcendence to arrive. I have practiced many different types of meditation over the years. It is based on “cold exposure, conscious breathing, and the power of the mind.”Īs I read Hof’s book, I wondered whether it would be possible to apply some of his methods to my own practices to achieve results. He writes of ordinary people able to acclimatize to altitude to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, of ordinary people able to endure extraordinary cold without even a sweater. Hof is unique in that he claims he can show ordinary humans how to achieve extraordinary feats-if they are willing to put themselves up to the challenge and perform his exercises daily. Typical athletic memoirs recount the years of dedication, the early morning trainings, but they don’t propose to offer their readers a path to the sub-two-hour marathon or triathlon greatness. When you read an athlete’s memoir, rarely does the athlete claim to have the ability to teach you how to follow in his or her footsteps. What’s unique about Wim Hof is that he claims that the preparation can be the same in all cases. In many cases, the drive, passion, commitment, and obsession is similar in all feats of human excellence, but the specific activities differ. ![]() I’m fascinated by people exploring the outer limits of human ability, and am especially fascinated by the methods these figures have used to achieve these heights. The book is part-memoir, part workbook, offering readers exercises to help them become superhuman. In The Wim Hof Method: Activate Your Full Human Potential, Hof reveals how he has managed to perform extraordinary human feats of cold exposure, like climbing Mount Everest in shorts and a t-shirt. I decided to take a closer look at Wim Hof given that he’s published a new book. I’d only heard about Wim Hof occasionally in popular culture and in the occasional endorsement I’d hear among surfers looking to increase their ability to hold their breath underwater (an important skill if you plan to surf big waves). He has been followed by journalists looking to “expose” him as a fraud only to find themselves transformed into believers and promoters of his method. He has been written about in the prestigious science journal Nature. Wim Hof has been studied, doubted, and believed. ![]()

Smash bros hollow bastion11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s also been tough to want to play Smash during a global pandemic when we haven’t been able to gather with friends at someone’s house for a Smash Tourney. I think Sora will bring me back to Smash Bros, at least for a little while. My favorite SNES game (other than Yoshi’s Island) was definitely Disney’s Aladdin (the game). Even as a kid I played random NES Disney games just because I love Disney so much. I think the Kingdom Hearts franchise is the perfect JRPG starting point for me since I love everything Disney. I don’t know if all of those extra games are necessary. And I know I will get back into Kingdom Hearts some day and my goal is at least to play KH I, II and III. I just usually get lost, confused or lose interest at some point. I’m not a big JRPG (or big RPG) person, although I want to be. I had no idea it was Sora until seeing the Mickey chain on the Keyblade. They have also been known to have some parts that throw the audience off and have you thinking it’s someone else. These videos keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see who they’re revealing. Ultimate new fighter reveals are always edited so perfectly. I started with the first Kingdom Hearts - and I am still somewhere towards the end of that first game. It was only a few years ago with the release of the Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far collection that I started my journey into this franchise. I haven’t always been into the Kingdom Hearts games. So, it’s Sora! I’m actually really excited about this one. ![]()

Best timekeeping app11/19/2023 ![]() ![]() I just use it to track how much time I spend studying, completing homework, and writing reports for each of my classes so that I have an overview and graph of what subjects I focus the most on. ![]() ![]() The free version provides great multi-platform use for someone like me who doesn’t own a freelancing business and, as such, doesn’t need the capability to export billing documents or whatever to receive pay. Being able to sync seamlessly across the work on my devices and on my computer is fantastic and the again simple interface that lets me categorize my work in an easy to see manner has been great! Thanks for making this app! So glad I found this app! I have NEVER been someone who enjoyed the idea of tracking their time, probably because nothing else ever stuck before, but when it become more necessary and I had to find a way, Toggl has been the first system I’ve stuck with now for months! The two stand out things for me are it’s simplistic straight to the point functionality (there isn’t all this fancy fluff to be a distraction, though it still looks nice), and the very helpful idle time reminder that means you don’t have to remember to clock in and out meticulously, if you get up from your work and forget to time out, it will separate that time and ask you when you come back if it should count that time or not! That has been a game changer for me! Also it has a helpful nudge to remind you to track your time if you happen to forget to start tracking. The only time tracker that’s worked for me! ![]() |
