WHATEVEREST: The Real Inspector Norse

Easily my favourite tune of 2012, Todd Terje's masterful interpretation of the ARP 2600, Inspector Norse - was part of the outstanding It's the Arps EP on Smalltown Supersound. So what was the inspiration behind the title of track? WHATEVEREST is an award winning short documentary that shows us inside Todd Terje's studio - what a treat - and takes a look at the real Inspector Norse, the internet alias of Norwegian oddball Marius Solem Johanson.

WHATEVEREST from Kristoffer Borgli on Vimeo.

Director Kristoffer Borgli won the Special Jury Award at AFI Fest 2012, and it his treatment of the quirky subject matter that helps the film rise above simple comedic relief. Inspector Norse makes dance videos and homemade drug recipes which he uploads to You Tube, where Todd Terje first witnessed his magic. He is a deliberately strange character, taken to sequined jumpers, and massive amounts of his homebrewed product. The small town setting adds to the David Lynch-like strangeness of the whole thing, but at the end of the day, it's remarkably astute film about personal identity, inspiration, and expression.

Pachanga Boys - We Are Really Sorry

Decidedly hard to pigeonhole and full of as many great riffs as any current rock record, Pachanga Boys debut album sounds like a cross between Hot Chip and Psychemagik, and in some places borders on pure experimentation. That said, it eventually functions as a rewarding listening experience, and veers a long way from the path of their previous disco-house orientated releases. We Are Really Sorry is an odd title. Exactly what are they sorry for? Maybe the fact they've attempted an album that is low on bangers, and demands an actual listen through, in itself a brave thing, given the instant and disposable nature of modern music consumption.

Standout cuts include Vampiros Hermanos, which begins with a laidback stoner rock groove before layers of quirky analog sounds push the track into psychedelic territory. Drunken Dancer is amazing as well, built upon looped voices yet punctuated by a sharp groove, and finally the sort of pads you'd find on a giallo horror soundtrack. It is a theme that is filtered through the entire album, and the manipulation of odd sounds into something that has experimental leanings, while retaining catchy harmonies throughout.

Consisting of Aksel Schauffer, who also produces as Superpitcher, and Mexican Mauricio Rebolledo, whose DJ sets of edgy, odd, rhythm based music initially inspired the duo to start producing. Released on their own imprint, Hippie Dance, which is a subsidiary of legendary German label Kompakt, We Are Really Sorry is an outstanding example of forward thinking electronic that is still fun to listen to, and showcases a duo that offer a huge amount of potential in the future.

Derrick Carter at Sandwiches

Any time Derrick Carter is in your city, he is a must see. One of those legendary DJs that just does what he always has, avoiding trends, yet somehow through skill and sheer enthusiasm remaining as essential now as he has been for the last 20 years. Carter is known for marathon sets that take in various styles of house music, and occasionally veer off into obscure disco classics, or a 80s pop hit in epic 12-inch dub form, in essence he just plays what suits the vibe.

Schooled from a young age at the peak of the Chicago house scene, Carter's first recording came out in 1987, yet it's as a DJ that rose to near celebrity status in the late 90s. Basically Carter takes you on a journey that can be, jackin', jumpin', or deep, but is always of absolute quality.

It's almost impossible not to get up and dance when Carter is on the decks, and thankfully those wise heads at Sandwiches have managed to secure his services on Friday, February 1. I'm sure this means a few Wellington peeps will be dusting off their dancing shoes for a good ol' house boogie, but Derrick Carter is DJ for anyone who loves music in general, and dancing, so make sure you leave this date free, it's not to be missed. Trust me.

Sixth Avenue Express - Props

Coming to my attention last year via the House of Disco site, London's Sixth Avenue Express released one of the best freebies of 2012 in Upside Down, a rework of Diana Ross, as well as a slew of other edits and slinky deep house gems, including Chute on Gazeebo International, and Goodbye on Kolour Recordings.

Judging by this new cut, which showcases some of SAE's best production yet; blending the classic sounds of house with some subtle future garage leanings, updating the 90s sound for a more modern set of ears. Imagine Disclosure remixed by Ron Trent, and you're just about there.

One to watch over the next twelve months, Sixth Avenue Express also have an EP out on Pole Position early next month.

Master of Psychedelic Soul: Norman Whitfield

Born in Harlem, before rising to fame in Detroit while employed by Berry Gordy's Motown Records, Norman Whitfield did epic soul like nobody else. Infusing touches of the psychedelic and political, Whitfield and lyricist Barrett Strong helped move Motown away from sugary soul hits, towards a more topical point of view, and a musical blend suited to the social changes of the late sixties. Although Whitfield had been producing The Temptations since 1966, his big break came when the previous songwriting team at Motown, the Holland-Dozier-Holland trio, left the label over profit-sharing disputes. This gave the Whitfield-Strong partnership the break they were looking for, and a hit with references to the abundant drug culture of the times, Cloud Nine by The Temptations, began a series of standout songs for Marvin Gaye, Edwin Starr, and Gladys Knight & the Pips.

His most recognizable songs, Papa Was a Rolling Stone and Heard it Through the Grapevine remain potent to this day, and stand as near perfect examples of what Whitfield achieved at Motown. Flamboyant arrangements, social commentary, and extended track lengths were suddenly the norm at the label, and through his own personal enterprises, The Undisputed Truth and Rare Earth, Whitfield took soul to places never heard before. Originally influenced by Sly Stone's innovation, he cleverly married Stone's raw sound to the slick dynamics of Motown's vocalists, and changed the sound of soul in the mainstream forever.

Whitfield is described by Berry Gordy in his memoir To Be Loved as a tall, shy man who earned a living in his teens as a hotshot pool player. He did his time, like many others, as an junior assistant at the Hitsville studio, and even when established as a producer struggled to get many of his projects off the ground, due to Gordy's tight quality control and often cut throat business mind. Perhaps this rubbed off on Whitfield, and by the mid-seventies his ego had risen to the point where his own picture was bigger than that of the Temptations on his last production for the group, 1973's compelling Masterpiece.

The following year he set up his own label, Whitfield Records, leaving Motown, and found further success with Rose Royce, recording their infamous Car Wash soundtrack in 1977, before slowly falling into obscurity. He returned to work at Motown in the mid eighties, but the music and ideas were a pale comparison to his earlier work, and few notable songs came out of the period.

Notoriously shy and unwilling to be interviewed, much of the motivation behind Whitfield's music remains hard to identify clearly. Was Whitfield a politically minded activist using soul music as a conduit for change, or simply a business savvy producer who spotted a hole in a saturated marketplace? Whatever the reality, Whitfield opened up soul music to new horizons, and laid the path for Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On, The Ohio Players, and Isaac Hayes to push the boundaries even further out.

His often grandiose, orchestrated soul classics include War, Smiling Faces Sometimes, Ball of Confusion, Wishing on a Star, and Ain't Too Proud to Beg, a body of work that is as impressive as it is distinctive. Whitfield passed away in 2008, aged 69, after battling diabetes, and being convicted of tax evasion. He was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2004, alongside lyricist Strong, in respect to their work on Motown. NormanWhitfield remains a mysterious figure whose consistency and creativity make his music a pleasure worth indulging in.

Ikonika: Live in Wellington

Ikonika returns to Wellington this Saturday at San Francisco Bath House. A collaboration between Girl Trouble and Ex.D, our second joint gig after bringing you oOoOO and Lapalux earlier this year. Last time Ikonika played here, she showcased her incredible skills as a DJ for over five hours, and even threw out tour T-shirts to those who had remained until the end of the set. In other words, she blew young Wellington minds, and looks set to do so once again. Her releases on Hyperdub including her debut album Contact, Love, Want, Have, and recent I Make Lists EP, showcase this talented artist perfectly, channeling the influence of Aphex Twin through the modernist leanings of the UK bass scene. If you're after something inspirational that goes above the bland normality of dance music, then you really can't afford to miss this gig.

Also on the bill are some of New Zealand's best acts, with ex-Trinity Roots member Riki Gooch, Electric Wire Hustle cohort Benny Tones, and sensational neo soul diva Estere all performing on Saturday night. DJ support comes from LRD JXN, who you've probably heard on Radio Active and at a variety of venues throughout Wellington. Ex.D's Gus, and yours truly, will keep things sorted either side of the acts.

Estere Live at VanguardRed from VanguardRed Magazine on Vimeo.

Tickets are available online HERE, and at Rough Peel Music on Vivian Street. There will also be door sales on the night.

78 Edits mini-mix

The 78 Edits releases have been incredibly reliable as a source of quality disco and deep house. The Edinburgh based producer has been making edits that combine the original elements with a deep house thud and plenty of filters, with the results similar to what the likes of Eddie C and the Melbourne Deepcast have been producing lately. This mix for London based label Retrospective compiles tracks from an upcoming vinyl release, and while it may be only a short 30 minutes, it definitely crams in some quality, with stand out tracks by Rayko, Toomy Disco, and Mudegg.

Retrospective are giving this mini mix away on their Soundcloud. You can also pre-order the full release.

Anyone can search and discover music, music videos, biographies, album information, reviews, pictures, and chat and interact with Social.FM DJs worldwide. With over one million channels of user-programmed music and over 3.5 million unique user-contributed tracks, Social.FM embodies the ultimate social music mantra of “music of the people, by the people and for the people.” Social.FM Web is developed on Adobe’s Rich Internet Application (RIA) framework, requiring no software downloads or installation and featuring cross-platform support for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS/X and Linux.
Under the very cool is the coming soon... Social FM Mobile.. sweet! See there's loads of great classics here like Journey, REO Speedwagon, Stones, yadayada and the sound quality is freaking awesome! The search UI is a bit confusing but you can fumble around and locate great tracks and videos.

Interesting. I've been using for a while, which seems pretty similar. Any ideas about how these compare?

as far as i can tell, the 2 services are fairly similar with being more popular, of course,

the main difference is the mobile service which is simply addictive.

Here's a joke. What do you get if you cross a pirate with an astromechanical droid? Aaaarrrr2-D2. And here's another joke. What do you get if you cross Pirates Of The Caribbean with a TV-DVD player and CD player? A rather tragic Pirates-themed home entertainment set that will bring out the rapin', pillagin', ooh-arr-me-hearties sofa pirate in you. Or not.

The TV has a built-in DVD player, two "wooden" legs (that's one more than most pirates) and a dinky remote that looks like a compass. That'll cost you 246 doubloons. The stand-alone DVD which is built into a ship's wheel is $105, and the CD player, hidden away in Jack's treasure chest, just $66. Let's face it, if you are a pirate freak, any one of these three gizmos knocks last week's pirate ship - along with any vestiges of good taste you might have had - into a tricorn hat.

According to the trusted researchers at iSuppli, laptop computer sales outpaced desktops for the first time last quarter. Strong netbook sales may have played a decisive role in the change.

Netbooks may have been the deciding factor in pushing notebooks over the top. "The big news from iSuppli's market share data for the third quarter was undoubtedly the performance of Taiwan's Acer," said Matthew Wilkins, principal analyst for compute platforms at iSuppli, in a statement. "Acer shipped almost 3 million more notebooks in the third quarter than it did in the preceding quarter, with the majority of those 3 million being the company's netbook products," Wilkins said.

Overall, sales jumped over 40 percent in Q3 of 2008 compared to the same period last year with totals hitting 38.6 million units. Because of the surge in netbooks, Acer is on pace to surpass Dell as the worlds #2 PC supplier behind HP. As for Apple, their laptop sales have increased 22% year over year—about 1.5x the rate of PCs. Obviously, that's good news for Apple, but they have yet to tap into the increasingly lucrative netbook market. If the trend continues, it would surely force Apple to jump into the market.

The proposition: You and a bunch of strangers are live streaming mobile-phone video of some event or disaster. A server stitches it all together and instantaneously publishes a rich, immediate patchwork of the action.

I love this system, but not necessarily for the same reasons that its developers at Microsoft Research do. I want to see something like this on YouTube, for instance. How bonerfied would Wolf Blitzer have been if he could have taken all the YouTube video of Obama's inauguration and turned it into a massive patchwork of super hi-def action? I mean, this thing makes the GigaPan look like something Thomas Edison invented in his spare time.

But Ayman Kaheel, a development manager at Microsoft's Innovation Center in Cairo, said he really wanted it to be live, and not for pre-recorded video, mostly because it's a greater challenge, and making it work live ultimately means that the other forms of it would work too. Kaheel says that the stitching service could be public or private, so in addition to plane crashes and inaugurations, this thing could make sense for weddings and stuff, if enough guests feel like livecasting.

Like most Microsoft Research projects, this one requires certain things that aren't yet here, but are coming soon. In order for all that live video to sync up when the system is stitching it together, each piece of video from each phone requires a timecode, and of course all the timecodes on all the mobiles sending video have to be totally in sync. (Surprisingly, Kaheel says the bandwidth requirements are already met by most networks, needing only 200Kbps to be effective.)

I see this as a multifaceted glimpse at social video's future: Whether it's live or archived, stitching may prove to be a great way to turn all the crappy 240x320 video into a high-def tapestry worth watching.

Microsoft's TechFest is an annual jamboree of innovation and gadgetry from Microsoft Research, which means that while none of it is coming out as is in products in the near future, it's essentially what product development people use to add cool stuff to their actual releases.

My brain hurts trying to keep all the different factions of hackers in line. After being booted off Google+, Anonymous started building their own site, AnonPlus—which has now been hacked by a group calling themselves "TURKIYE."

While it could be some elaborate joke played out on us ordinary non-hackin' folk, to grab more headlines and attention to their mission, AnonPlus' website apparently did show the following message late yesterday:

This logo suits you more..How dare you rise against to the World..Do you really think that you are Ottoman Empire?
We thought you before that you cannot challenge with the world and we teach you cannot be social
Now all of you go to your doghouse.."

The garbled English and mentions of Turkiye and Akincilar suggest whoever hacked Anonymous' site originates from Turkey, perhaps even the town of Akincilar, which lies in Turkey's Sivas Province. Considering Akincilar has a population of just 4,779, that should narrow the suspects down somewhat—and I'm sure of all people, the Anonymous crew has the means to hunt down whoever wronged them.

While the AnonPlus website has reverted back to its messageboard, the users seem angry, with someone passing themselves off (legitimately or otherwise) as the creator of AnonPlus writing that:

"It seems the hacker group AKINCILAR decided we were offering too much freedom for the average person and needed us stopped. This is the most ignorant thing i have ever seen. I knew having anon anywhere in our social networks name might cause confusion but this recent defacement just shows how OUT OF CONTROL the anon sheep actually are."

It also seems that the Anonymous group—or at least a splinter cell of Anonymous—has grander views of themselves than the rest of the world thinks, writing "we are journalists not hackers." [AnonPlus via Escapist Magazine]

UPDATE: Turkish reader Doruk told me that while Akincilar is a Turkish town, it is also "a term in [the] Ottoman army which means raiders or something like that. The reason behind their action is actually Anonymous' past attack on [the] Turkish government's websites...This "Ottoman raider" guys considered it as an attack on our country and with their most nationalistic feelings they attacked back."

You can keep up with Kat Hannaford, the author of this post, on Twitter or Facebook.

Last month, The Weather Channel proclaimed that it would start naming winter storms in the manner of tropical storms and hurricanes in hopes that people would pay more attention to them. The National Weather Service—the official government agency in charge of all of this—just laid the smack down on that plan.

As the first of The Weather Channel's named winter storms creeps towards the east coast, The Washington Post reports an administrative message sent out by the National Weather Service regarding the winter storm naming scheme. The message reminds everyone that NWS doesn't name winter storms:

Sorry guys! The nor'easter that's about to bear down on the east coast won't officially be called "Athena," no matter how badly The Weather Channel's ratings want it to happen. [The Washington Post]

It's almost time for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (??? I don't know the format of these titles). Whatever the hell you want to call it, I'm excited about it.

If you want to relive the heyday of the Capitol (I don't know, maybe you're all #TeamPresSnow), watch my Allure Insiders video for a makeup look inspired by the Capitol. But wearable-ish. May the odds be ever in your favor, and all.

Allure Insiders Outrageous Beauty: The Pumpkin Enzyme Facial

The second Allure Insiders facial video is a major Fall staple...the pumpkin! I'm getting all up in the Pumpkin Enzyme Facial, which is kind of like rubbing a Pumpkin Spice Latte on your mug, except that it's great for your skin.

What does it feel like? What does it smell like? (Side note -- I had to edit out at least five minutes of me talking about what each thing smelled like. It was getting creepy like woah.) Watch the video to get the answers to these burning questions and more. FALL 4EVA!

Allure Insiders Outrageous Beauty: The "Million Dollar Facial"

Who's ready to get fancy up in here? Today I've got TWO Outrageous Beauty facial videos coming out for Allure Insiders. The first one is dubbed the "Million Dollar Facial," and involves tons of fancy pants stuff like a diamond microdermabrasion and a 24k face mask. I've never felt less garbage heap-y than I did after these treatments. (And you know that's saying a lot coming from me.)

Check it out if you're feeling extravagant. Or luxurious. Or lavish. I'll post the Fall-centric facial number two in a few hours, so keep those eyeballs peeled. You know, or just check back.

Allure Insiders Get The Look: Ariel Halloween Makeup Edition

It's almost Halloween up in here (up in here)! That's my ride-or-die favorite time of year, and to kick off ye olde costume season, I did a little tutorial for The Little Mermaid for my latest "Get the Look" Allure Insiders video.

I might have even attempted my own Ariel-esque hair flip in this video. You'll have to watch and find out how that turned out, although I'm sure that you can deduce the outcome, you little Sherlock Holmes.

Happy (almost) Halloween!

Allure Insiders Get The Look: The Anti-Gone Girl

I'm so excited about Gone Girl coming out this weekend, man. I even heard that Ben Affleck is, like, GOOD good in it, so don't even trip on ol' Gigli. It'll be okay.

So for this week's Allure Insiders video, I did a kind of anti-Get the Look. No one wants to look like a maybe/possibly/I'm not ruining it for you dead person, so watch the video to get tips on how to look human on your worst days. Unless you're just naturally #flawless. In that case -- hey, Beyoncé.

Allure Outrageous Beauty: The Cellulite Cupping Massage

Rubbing suction cups all over your legs doesn't really sound like it would do much. Except maybe tickle. Spoiler alert: It tickled like woah.

If you want to see if the cupping massage actually had any effect on my cellulite, watch and see what's up. And if you don't have any cellulite, and this video doesn't pertain to you at all, then:

I'm sorry. I'm jealous. Want to trade genetics? (That was not a pick-up line.) This isn't going well. Bye.

got enough guilt to start my own religion

When I emailed Female Offspring #1 and showed her all the delicious--I mean INTERESTING
courses I wanted to take with her siblings, she
emailed back, "Is there a followup course called "How to Manage Diabetes at Age 10"?

Oh ewwww. I can't even IMAGINE how much this would have hurt. Not for the squeamish....

The offspring sent me a link to this quiz, and said if I got half of them right, they'd drop all this science and math class nonsense.
Well, well, well. Just so happens Mama got 10% of the questions correct. HA! I showed them. 10% is way more than half.
No stupid math or science classes for me. Look out cookies, here we come!

Well, damn. Now Bugs tells me that Kathy probably won't be walking the Red Carpet because "The only reality show
award that awarded live is the one for Competitive Reality, The Amazing Race, Survivor, etc." Well, that just blows.

The offspring and I are still going rounds about these summer college classes. Get this--they suggested SCIENCE CLASSES.
"The Science of Clouds" to be exact. Yeah, I need science classes like I need another vagina.
Besides, we all know how I *hate* science...and geography...and history...and math.
Damn. That Cookies From Around the World class is sounding better and better all the time.
This is the list of classes *I* want to take, and YES, these are all legit classes, I *SWEAR*:
1. The Cookie From Around the World one--it's yum-a-licious
2. "Chew On This"--we'll learn the history of chewing gum and taste test different brands
3. "Sweet Treats"--we'll learn to make a mouth watering chocolate pretzel "to die for," and trust
me when I say I'm more than willing to give up my life for anything chocolate at this point in time.
4. "Willy Wonka and The History of Chocolate" --fairly self explanatory and we'll learn to make "chocolate putty."
It can be "chocolate glue" for all I care, and I'll *still* guzzle it down.
5. "Charlotte's Web" where we'll learn to make a paper mache piggy bank.
Charlotte was one of my favorite books when I was just a little goddess.
Besides, I'm hoping they'll toss in a good baked ham recipe...
I like to consider myself a well rounded individual and
I was more than a tad disappointed there were no classes dedicated to peanut butter this year.
Now *this* is the Offspring's BOGUS list of choices:
1. "The Science of Clouds" --we'll learn about cloud formations.
Hey, if it's raining, it's cloudy, that's all I need to know.
2. "Oceanography"--we'll learn about underwater life and we'll compare water animals to land animals.
If they're wet 24/7, there's a fairly good chance they're water animals. End of discussion.
3. "Oobleck Matters"--I don't know who the hell Oobleck is or why it matters, but we'd be
learning the "three states of matter". I believe they are as follows: it does matter, it doesn't matter, and who gives a fuck if it matters?
How close am I, scientists?
4. "Let's Take A Hike"--unless we're hiking over to the Cookies From Around the World class, I think *NOT*
5. "Rocketry" where we'd learn to design and build gas pressured and water pressured rockets.
Oh, right. Like these kids need to know how to make *another* type of weapon to use against each other.

Bugs clued me in to the fact that Kathy Griffin's "Life on the D List" has been nominated for an emmy, so I checked out her competition.
This is it: Reality Program: "Antiques Roadshow," PBS--not much excitement going on there.
If Kathy loses to this show, she'll be on the D List FOREVER.
"The Dog Whisperer," National Geographic Channel--Damn him! Damn him to Hell!!! He might take her down.
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," ABC-- I *hate* these sorts of shows (sorry, Bugs) but I think this will be Kathy's greatest competitor.
"Penn & Teller: Bull----," Showtime---they're boring at best.
What cool irony: Kathy will be walking the Red Carpet that she wasn't even allowed to host the pre-show from!!!
It would absolutely kick ass if she won.
Also, I think her show is really funny. It's the best reality show I've watched to date, but
I will admit that by the time it's winding down for the year, I'm always glad to see it end.
Kathy talking about Kathy thinking about Kathy kvetching about Kathy faux dramatizing about Kathy tends to
get to me after awhile. Her show
is kinda like watching my blog come to life....only it's about her and she has money and a life, and I don't.
But I love her comedy stuff.

Mushy said...

Have you ever considered taking "Underwater Basket Weaving", as a PE course? It's in the same classfication as "Jock Physics" I think.

Goddess said...

Well considering Terry Bradshaw MAJORED in basket weaving, I think I'll pass....
Didn't seem to do anything for his intelligence and that IS what these summer courses are all about: raising my intelligence level.

Besides, ya can't eat a basket, Mushy!

(Ok they're about food...)

Mushy said...

Hey, I flunked the science quiz getting only 30%, but I did get 60% on entertainment!

Goddess said...

I thought it was rather difficult, but then I find all science tests rather difficult;) Unless it involves food...

Goddess said...

BTW, Mushy, don't feel too badly. If you work really hard, next time maybe you can get 10%, too, instead of that crappy 30%....

If I Could Keep Time In A Bottle...

Everyone has their own version of making a survival kit out of a small metal tin.  It is a fun challenge to see just how much functionality you can get into such a tiny space, and it has the advantage of being something you can carry around with you every day.  One function it decidedly lacks, however, is being able to carry significant quantities of liquids.  Tim MacWelch over at the Outdoor Life Survival Blog solved that by putting a survival kit in a water bottle.  While it's a little more difficult to carry on your person at all times, you can easily throw it in a briefcase, backpack, large purse, or bug out bag, and you can put a lot more stuff in it than a little metal tin.  I definitely think this is a challenge I will be working on in the near future.

Chapel of the Ascension

There are three Churches of the Ascension built on the Mount of Olives, and this chapel (now a mosque) claims to be the oldest. Its foundations date back to the time of Poimenia at the end of the fourth century, but, like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the current structure is of crusader origins.

Be’er Sheba

Be'er Sheva, the modern-day capital of the Negev, has a history going back all the way to Abraham, father of the Jewish people.

On this Page:

The capital of the Negev, the Old City, the university, the Turkish railway station, and the Bedouin market represent only a part of the colorful mosaic offered by the city of Be’er Sheba, a city full of life and proud of itself, as you will be told by any of its 185,000 inhabitants.

Be’er Sheba, spelt Beersheba in most English translations of the Bible, is a major crossroads whose potential was felt by Abraham, father of the Jewish people, who arrived here 3,700 years ago. He dug a well to water his flock, made a covenant of peace with Abimelech, the king of Gerar in those days, and the two swore allegiance to one another. “Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath" (Genesis 21, Verse 21). To symbolize his ownership of the well, he planted a tamarisk tree. Thus the city of Be’er Sheba struck roots at that place and at that time. Abraham’s descendants continued to live here, in a place that was the cradle of monotheism.

Be’er Sheba is located at the intersection of two ancient important international road junctions: The "Way of the Sea" (Via Maris) which extended along the shoreline in the west, and the King’s Highway (the Valley Route) in the east. Consequently, the city is mentioned throughout biblical times as a wayside station, as a resting spot, as a border point and as a ritual center.

Tel Be’er Sheba, five kilometers east of the city, is usually identified with biblical Be’er Sheba. The site is fascinating, and contains the ruins of a walled city from the Israelite monarchic period. Due to the wonderful finds there, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 2005. In the Roman Period, the settlement spread to the area of present-day Be’er Sheba, and was located in the center of the Limes Palestinae, the Roman defense layout from Rafah (Rafi’akh) to the Dead Sea, which mainly consisted of fortresses built the borderline. When the Romans converted to Christianity, it served as the Episcopal residence (the residence of the Bishop) and several churches were built there. The Crusaders also built a fortress in the city, but when it was destroyed it remained desolate for a long time.

Modern-day Be’er Sheba was founded at the start of the twentieth century by the Ottomans, and was the only city that the Turks built in the Land of Israel. Remains of buildings from this period and from the time of the British Mandate can be seen in the Old City, located in the south of the city. These include the Governor’s House – the residence and office of the city’s governor, which was built in 1906 and today houses the Negev Museum of Art; the city’s first mosque also built in 1906; the Turkish railway station built during the First World War; the station manager’s house; the water tower that supplied the trains’ steam engines with water; the Saraya – the Government House (today the city’s police station); a public garden; and additional buildings that tell the fascinating story of Be’er Sheba under Turkish rule.

The Jewish city was established in 1949. It developed and turned into the center of the south and became the capital of the Negev. Today, it has museums, a zoo, historical sites, one of the largest universities in Israel, and on Thursdays – the famous Bedouin market.

The market was officially opened in 1905, and became a weekly event where the Bedouins sold various wares. Nowadays, the market has modern stalls (footwear, clothing, etc) alongside authentic Bedouin stalls where you can buy unique items such as copper products, glassware, jewelry, beads and precious stones, as well as mats, carpets, cushions, and the like. The market is variegated, vibrant, exceedingly charming, and colorful.

Another important hub is the Center for Ethiopian Craftsmanship where new immigrant women preserve the ancient handicraft traditions of Ethiopian Jewry as practiced in their home villages, and engage in modeling earthenware, embroidering, sculpting, and straw crafts.

Be’er Sheba is the gateway to the Negev – you can start from here on endless walks and car trips.

Miley Cyrus, Oscar presenter: Should we be outraged?

February 16, 2008 |  9:24 am

Miley Cyrus isn't really a film star, of course. That "documentary" of hers in theaters right now is just an affordable alternative for tweens whose parents can't, or won't, pay gabillions for real concert tix. Does Hannahshe really deserve a place on the stage at the Oscars, which presumably celebrate the best of cinema? Or is this just a stunt to draw more TV viewers?

It's not the first time that the Oscars hauled in TV stars to take center stage at film's august event. Heck, some even hosted the occasion — successfully (Johnny Carson) and the opposite (David Letterman). This year's host Jon Stewart is another TV star, of course, unless you recall "Death to Smoochy," and even Stewart tries not to.

Assuming that they agree that Miley Cyrus is stunt-casting at the Oscars, I asked our forum posters to cite some other examples of dubiously appropriate presenters at award shows past. Iskolar cites TV stars James Gandolfini and Teri Hatcher at recent Grammys. (Good ones, Iskolar!) Then he adds, "Of course, no one beats Miley Cyrus." READ MORE.

70/7's Daniel 9:24-26 7x70 Matthew 18:21-22

The DOOR and the KEY

Daniel 9: 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Ending sins brings in everlasting righteousness, a state of being that cannot change! And it does this through Atonement and forgiving.

Ending Sins brings permanent RIGHTEOUSNESS (70/7's)

Luke 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. 40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

Atonement and Forgiveness (7x70)

John 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not]. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Father Pressure and Arm Twisting: the Dichotomy

You will do this or else! You cannot have eternal life until and unless you forgive everyone that has been and will be for all times forever - like the priests do in the Atonement process, because our FAMILY is a Kingdom of Kings and Priests! Leviticus 16:20-22 and Exodus 19:6; Revelation 1:5-6.

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

In the example above who has the worse problem in learning God’s ways, Simon or the crowd of laymen, priests and people holding stones? I tell you every one of those persons who played those roles on earth are in Heaven. And every one of them finally COMPLIED with the Father’s protocol of forgiveness!

Where Are Your Accusers?

Jesus asked the woman caught in adultery, "Where are your accusers?" This is an interesting question God could pose to anyone in heaven (or anyone trying to approach the truth).

Consider Hitler. Where are his accusers? All those he "killed" went to heaven getting better lives. They can look at themselves there and say, "I look a lot better now than what I was before." They did not lose a thing. On the contrary, they gained everything and more, unloading these weak bodies that in the final analysis did not serve them well at all in the crunch.

So how could anyone (even if he could know who Hitler is in heaven) come up to "Hitler" and say, "You such and such, you killed me." This is an impossibility - a living person accusing another of killing him. It's as if person X in our world went up to another person Y and said, "You killed me." Person Y might look bewildered and say, "How do you figure that one out?  How can I have killed you if we're both standing here talking?"

Condemnation is not a tool of right judgment. This world by design is a negative zone (see God, Relativity and the Space-Time Continuum at the Alpha and Omega site for more on this) in which every act, event, and role has some degree of negative twist to it. God is leaving no stone unturned so the degree of negativity to which we are subjected should not surprise or shock the knowing student. We will see and experience the extremes of all behaviour (and everything in between) in our time down here.

The question that Jesus asked is very significant - "Where Are Your Accusers?" Because everyone goes to heaven, no one has anything to accuse anyone else of, i.e. there are no accusers in the final analysis and Satan is left holding an empty bag (no accusers left) when all is said and done on earth. God will have a good laugh at his expense. An Accuser with nothing he can accuse anyone of. "Where is the Accuser of our brethren?" Soon nowhere to be found, but currently hiding out in those pages one comes across in books, on television and radio, and through web sites that unknowingly, collectively, and "religiously" serve as the dragon's fire-breathing mouth.

The hypothetical scenario described above, however, is impossible - used only for tutorial purposes in this world - because all those rising are changed and receive new names, faces, and bodies. They do not answer to their former earthly names (they now bear their true Father's family name). They are commanded not to mention having lived on earth. This is how God removes the stench and stigma of sin which is attached to our earthly roles. This is God’s way of "making an end of even the memory of sin". Where are Hitler's accusers? They're all on earth (those fighting God's atonement process for the whole family) because those in heaven have nothing to accuse him of. On the contrary, those in heaven are more alive than those on earth. They wouldn't trade what they have for anything this world has to offer. They've been through the best and the worst of times here (Exodus 13:18; Revelation 7:13-14) and this world just doesn't cut it for them! They are now their real selves and what was cut away from them was a shell that was impermanent to begin with. They do not cling to former scripts and roles the way earthly men do out of fear and insecurity. They do not demand "justice" for old hearts or "reparations" for old bodies. Just as your old uncle got rid of his arthritic body, get rid of your arthritic ("accusing" and condemning) religion. Jump for joy!

The Supreme Judge Pilots the 70/7

Remember, God's thoughts are not like human thoughts and His ways of judgment are not like man's flawed, accusing and condemning judgment which has punishment as its goal, Isaiah 55:7-10. Here is the Atonement mentality of the Supreme Judge as it corroborates with Judge Jesus in the case of the woman caught in the very act of adultery. Notice that despite seeing Israel provoke Him and vex Moses, God acts as though their crimes never happened in His response through Balaam to Balak: Num 23:18 "And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 19 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 23 Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!"

Your human and demonic thinking regarding sin and punishment must be dropped, and you must meet God's HIGH WAY of thinking in 7/70 and 70x7's when you die and face the DOOR (Jesus) of Heaven! COMPLIANCE in forgiving all men for all times forever is your KEY of entry. What your money-grubbing, hireling, and "elder son" preacher has told you does not unlock THE DOOR and let you in! Singing "Oh How I Love Jesus" a thousand times doesn't open THE DOOR; THE DOOR is not taken in by such schmoozing. If you point out your self-righteousness as practiced in the churches, the DOOR considers all of it as "filthy rags" Isaiah 64:6. YOU MUST DO Luke 6:46; John 14:15 what he did - also saying, "Father forgive them (all humanity) for they know not what they do"! He has not changed Hebrews 13:8, no matter how preachers characterize him! How can Christ tell us to forgive everyone under any and all circumstances without restriction (he himself gave the example from the cross) and preachers turn around and say the opposite "in his name"? Can you now understand Luke 21:8? They deny you the power to do so because their teachings try to bolt the door shut which Christ has opened Rev 3:7-8.

I had a dream last night

I had a dream last night and in it there was a flurry of activity on a street. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by a giant plant coiled around me like a python - inches short of touching me - but so close that if I made a move, I would be stuck by bristling sharp spikes over a foot in length. Remember that God is wise as a serpent but harmless as a dove, hence this imagery! It reminded me of a huge rose vine with thorns, Jesus’ symbol of resurrection. (The rose of Sharon with its four colors is the flower image and symbol for the four Archangels). While I was assessing my predicament, words came - "This is like being in jail". This is the impact of the words of Jael (Jesus) Christ! Anyone and everyone wants to live. The Words of Jael Christ and Gabriel, the 70/7's and 7x70, has this effect on "elder son" preachers, the church, Christians and men in general. Jesus is the DOOR to the KINGDOM, John 10:1,9.  All those who seek to enter in (and ALL men will enter in) will be checked out and scrutinized for COMPLIANCEThat is the KEY to get in!  You will forgive Hitler, Goliath, Stalin, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Dahmer, Idi Amin, the Khmer Rouge rebels of Cambodia, Mafia hitmen, President Clinton, all gays and lesbians, thieves and robbers, Jimmy Swaggert, and all lying, money-grubbing preachers.... OR ELSE ... God will not forgive your trespasses and you will not enter the Kingdom! Guess what? Everyone who rises COMPLIES!  "Resistance is futile"! They look down and see resisting demons crying in distress and falling in circles in the bottomless pit and NONE OF THEM want to join them! Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:16-19, and 2 Esdras 7:78-87. This is the meaning of my dream, the effect of Jesus’ Words, the 70/7's and the 7x70.

A WORD from Father to YOU, the reader

Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

Isaiah 48:9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another. 12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

You must be of ONE MIND with God as ONE BODY and ONE FAMILY. You must forget your demonically influenced earthly thoughts and defective human ways and accept God's greater thoughts and Highest ways. This is His glory for You because You (pronounce it! JHVH - you - ewe) are His (from Him)! Another (who is this "other"? see the Alpha and Omega site's The Robot) will not get His glory. It is for you - get in on it John 17:22 .

For Mine Own Sake

God is forgiving and saving men "for Mine own sake"!! He is not saving men because they go to church or have faith; neither is He doing it because men pay "tithes and offerings" and try to be good! A man's good works has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! At your best, you wear "filthy rags" in God's eyes Isaiah 64:6; Zechariah 3:1-3. The Supreme Judge emphasizes this three times so that it be crystal clear - He is forgiving, forgetting, and refraining to cut men off "FOR MINE OWN SAKE"! The kind of life the devil has put you through, whether you are good or bad, is not the determinant! (Sorry, preachers!) Preachers and Christians are on NOTICE! A man's self-righteousness and "good works" does not determine if he will get in or not! Psalm 14:2-3; Romans 3:23. GOD, your Father and the Supreme JUDGE is SPARING, FORGIVING, FORGETTING, and SAVING ALL "FOR MINE OWN SAKE and I will not give my glory to another!" Why should He destroy His own children just because Lucifer and some misguided preachers want Him to do that?! Man was created for His pleasure and crowned with His glory, and He refuses to cut man off ... FOR MINE OWN SAKE, EVEN FOR MINE OWN SAKE, saith the Lord! Isaiah 57:16-19; Malachi 3:6,17.

That is why the Father had Jesus advise us in our conduct to "be like Him" in Matthew 5:43-48.

Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

This is "the perfect work" that we must strive to make part of our "natural" character. This is God's nature, and for us it is "His likeness", our true nature, Genesis 1:26!

YOU cannot be like you! You cannot be like your preacher or your church! You cannot be like "man"! God has raised the height of the judgment bar ... "forgive all men their trespasses ... and FORGET THEM" or you cannot enter in the DOOR! "ONENESS" John 17:22 requires that all children MEET HIS MENTAL STANDARD AND LIKENESS! ... not the mental likeness of flawed men wearing "filthy rags" from their churches Isaiah 2:10-17, 55:8-10.

Following Jesus to Put an End to Sin

We must follow Jesus to "make an end of sin" (Daniel 9:24). He set the supreme example of how to put an end to evil. They crucified Jesus but he put an end to this sin by acting as if it never happened. In effect he blunted the fiery weapon (Ephesians 6:16) Satan thought he had placed against Jesus' throat by applying forgiveness in the situation. In this sense he personally became (1 John 2:2) the "propitiation" for the "sin" that was committed against him. To propitiate means to cover with kindness and make the situation better. He "sacrificed" his life i.e. he put it on the line while being smacked around and "killed" (and did not fight to hang on to his life while being taunted). He covered the whole situation with kindness and mercy - this is the "propitiation" he taught us with his life. Not some abstract "sacrifice" to pay off the Father or make God "kinder" as the churches teach.

Jesus showed Satan (was this his final "temptation"?) that you can stick a spear in his side and he will not curse you Hebrews 12:24. Jesus disarmed (Romans 12:14,21; 1 Corinthians 4:12) Satan's weapons of violence, anger and recrimmination which this world uses. He turned the other cheek and came back more alive than ever! What more can the adversary do after killing you only to have God raise you up in honor and glory? After the enemy's "final" and most brutal act, his resources and weapons are then exhausted - rendered null and void.

The reason churches don't understand Christ's "sacrifice" and misinterpret it, is because Satan has seen to it that if they ever saw how Jesus handled the whole situation at Golgotha, it would force them to behave the same way. But by "praising" a sham ritualistic sacrifice they concoct theologically, it makes it easier for them not to follow Jesus' example. Satan has perverted the whole meaning of Christ's sacrifice. Today churches "honor" Christ's sacrifice without doing a single thing that he did on the cross.

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.

How does God forget our sins? When every man has forgotten his neighbour's sins, then this whole sordid memory will be wiped out of our global race's memory bank. He will forget when we forget. But He does not forget when we do not Matthew 18:23-35! Whose "memory" of sin do you want in your mind? That is why Jesus is our Highest priest and example, not Billy Graham or the Pope. And as 1 John 2:2 says, Christ's "propitiation" WORKS (is working, has worked, will work - try it!) for the whole world. That is the way through THE DOOR. Having gone through it himself, do you think he (THE DOOR) expects anything less from you?

Atonement/Forgiveness - the "perfect work"

Jesus said that God will forgive us if and when we forgive others. NOTICE, he did not say, "If you believe in the blood of my sacrifice, the Father will forgive you." God's forgiveness IS NOT DEPENDENT ON WHAT HAPPENED AT CALVARY contrary to what the churches teach. God's forgiveness is based on each person's USE of forgiveness. Which is why Paul would say, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" Philippians 2:12. Forgiveness is indeed a "perfect work", a fact that people have to work at ("the work of perfection"). It is imperative that you achieve its fullness to get through and past the DOOR!

People have become experts at pointing out others' faults openly ("There can't you see it - its so plain and obvious?") and condemning them for "breaking the law". But God anticipated this at Sinai. Moses "broke the commandments" the first time the tablets were brought down from the mountain. And what caused Moses to break the law? IT WAS ANGER AND EXTREME CONCERN FOR THE FAULTS OF THE PEOPLE .... the very same thing today that is driving "elder son" preachers afoul of Matthew 6:14-15. You will forgive every "prodigal son", or like the elder son who refused to go in the door, the DOOR of Heaven will be BARRED to you! Because we are in "the negative zone" (please see God, Relativity and the Space-Time Continuum at our Alpha and Omega site) the law will be broken in our educational framework. This first phase was prefigured at Sinai. No surprise to God.

However James, in addressing condemners and accusers says this, "Who are you to sit in judgment of the law when you condemn your brother?!" James 4:11-12. The law is broken but not for anyone to use as a fact to condemn others Galatians 5:14. He goes on to say, "Mercy rejoices against judgment", James 2:13. "Blessed are the merciful"! They are the ones who will obtain mercy in the Father's scheme of things!

To Christians, preachers and churches

All those who practice religion and are so certain that they are anointed, will now get a quality check! If in your heart you hold any man's sins against him ... no matter how righteous you think you are ... ALL YOUR RELIGIOUS PRACTICE AND SERVICE IS IN VAIN! ALL YOUR SINS REMAIN, WHILE YOU ARROGANTLY THINK YOU ARE HOLY and on the right side ... because YOUR FATHER HAS NOT FORGIVEN YOU! You are in as much jeopardy as the people you think are condemned or damned, because YOU RECOGNIZE THEIR SINS! You are still "in sin" until and unless you forgive every man's trespasses for all time - forever. Matthew 6:14 is either a KEY to the DOOR or a BAR denying your entry. This is a reality check, a quality check, a self-check! It is a matter between you and your Father! He expects you to COMPLY with His will concerning total and complete forgiveness. You too, must forget sins and act as though they never happened ... or you will be left "outside" the DOOR!

Tell me, where do you stand as you read these Words?! Are you "classified" by your unforgiving and unforgetting "attitude" as ... " still a sinner" before your Father? He reads hearts and thoughts while you think them. You cannot flim-flam God nor pull the wool over His eyes! YOU HAVE COMPLIED when you see men in the very act of sin and say like Jesus, "Neither do I condemn thee"! YOU HAVE COMPLIED when men personally wrong you and you can say like the Supreme Judge, "I have not beheld iniquity in man, neither have I seen perverseness in mankind". "Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, PEACE and GOOD WILL to men"! Luke 2:10,14

"If you die right now" (as the old altar call goes) or "if Jesus should come today" (in the manner the churches speculate), DO YOU HAVE THE KEY to get in the Kingdom?! Why do you put up with those that deny you THE KEY and pay "tithes and offerings" Isaiah 55:1-3 for keys that do not open THE DOOR?! Here is what you owe to yourself and to others Romans 13:8.

Get the number of the beast out of your head. Do NOT MIND 666. Jesus' number 7x70 and Gabriel's number 70/7 are way cooler!

Regione Piemonte, Italy, and Piemonte Marketing, • Food & Wine – Barbaresco and Barolo; Alba white truffle; Torino chocolate • Fashion – Biella Cashmere • Sports – Juventus Museum & Stadium, video & podcast are here

NEW YORK, NY – February 28, 2017 – A delegation from Piemonte, Northern Italy visited New York City today to present exclusive experiences found only in Piemonte to an audience of key media from the travel, food, fashion and sport sectors. Hosted at the Italian Consulate, the presenters’ talking points ranged from tourism trends, fine wines, fine wines, rare cheeses, tasty truffles, high fashion and football fandom.

After an official welcome from Italian Consul General Francesco Genuardi, Piemonte Tourism Manager Maria Elena Rossi took the stage to highlight the tourism trends happening in her region. Central to her message was that U.S. visitors to Piemonte are at an all time high, with a reported 270,000 arrivals from America in 2015. On another note, her presentation highlighted Piemonte’s exclusive experiences in the worlds of fashion, food and high-end tours.

Presenting about one of Piemonte’s famous foods was Mauro Carbone, Supervisor of the National Centre for the Study of Truffles. Carbone officially announced two exclusive dining experiences that will take place during the 87th International White Truffle Fair of Alba called “Ultimate Truffle Dinner”.

This new dining experience will feature Michelin-starred chefs Ugo Alciati and Flavio Costa who will pair the White Truffle of Alba with unique elements of international cuisine including: oysters, Kobe beef veal, caviar, foie gras, Champagne and Barolo wine for dinner guests on October 25th and November 20th. The proceeds of these prestigious events will go towards the “Breathe the Truffle” project— the first crowdfunding campaign to protect the natural environment of the White Truffle of Alba.

Also in attendance was Juventus Stadium and Museum Curator, Marco Albano. Making the list of Top 50 Museums in Italy, Juventus opened with the sole mission of compiling 120+ years of Bianconeri soccer history and triumphs into one unique and innovative exhibition of trophies and memorabilia. Since opening in 2012, Juventus Museum has seen more than 700,000 visitors making it a mainstay of Piemonte tourism attractions.

Stefano Mosca, director of the Biella Tourist Board since 1998, presented a new shopping tour experience called “In Biella Factory Stores”. As Biella is the undisputed leader in the manufacturing sector of high end textile products, Stefano and his teamknew the new tour would be an all access pass to this fashion world—from visits to cashmere wool mills to unprecedented factory outlet shopping—the “In Biella Factory Stores” new tour will give fashion aficionados exactly what they came for.

Summarizing the event, Ms. Maria Elena Rossi, said, ”We’re proud to make our debut in New York today and raise the profile of our region on the world’s stage: New York City. We’re honored to host this group of top media from all sectors—from food & wine to sport & fashion. Through this visit to New York, it is our aim that more U.S. travelers would visit Piemonte and enjoy our ‘Italian Lifestyle in Authentic Piemonte’.

Bordering Switzerland and France, the Piemonte region of northern Italy sits at the foot of the Alps and is well regarded for its cultural offerings including historical Royal residences and fifteen UNESCO sites. The region is also famed for its alpine skiing and outdoor adventures around the surrounding lake areas. For foodies, Piemonte is home to unrivalled white truffles and fine wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco and Asti Spumante. Spanning 15,000 square miles (twice the size of Massachusetts), Piemonte is the largest region in Italy after Sicily and offers an unmatched Italian experience from culture and history to food and wine. For North American travellers, the fastest way to access the Piemonte region is to fly into Torino Airport via major US carriers. By car, Torino is a two-hour drive from the Milan International Airport. Additionally, there are daily scheduled train arrivals into Torino.

Sviluppo Piemonte Turismo is the regional tourist board of Piemonte Region in Italy. Piemonte is an emerging tourist destination, as shown by the trend of tourist flows and the resulting economic impact assessment. This trend has been growing over recent years and in 2006, also thanks to the Winter Olympic Games, Piemonte consolidated its position on the national and international markets counting 13.5 million visitors. A very positive trend, especially for the market segments and the areas where great work has been done for the product development, the quality improvement of the accommodation facilities and a targeted marketing and tourism promotion policy, supported by market researches and studies.
