Listen To Lettuce And Chaka Khan’s “ChakaLett” Set At The Peach Fest [Full Audio]
[Photo: Phierce Photo] The Peach Festival did not disappoint this year, with the festival tapping some of the biggest names in the scene for the gathering of Allman Brothers Band extended family and friends in Scranton, Pennsylvania. While Saturday hosted an all-star tribute to Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman, which has now become one of the focal points of the weekend, the four-day festival was jam packed with unreal musical moments that will be remembered by attendees for years to come. One such performance was the funk gurus of Lettuce’s collaboration with the legendary Chaka Khan, which closed out the festival’s main stage on Friday night.Peach Festival Sees MMJ Cover ABB, Lettuce With Chaka Khan, And More [Video/Audio/Photo]Dubbed the “ChakaLett” set, the prolific singer and funk icon, Chaka Khan, and her back-up singers joined the Brooklyn-born funk act for the middle portion of Lettuce’s set. Together, the two prominent funk acts teamed for five songs—”I’m A Woman,” “Tell Me Something Good,” “Love The One You’re With,” “Sweet Thing,” and “Ain’t Nobody”—with the band expressing their love for the singer during her introduction and outro. Chaka’s appearance during the Lettuce set was sandwiched in between two smaller solo segments from the band, which saw Lettuce pulling numbers from their more traditional catalog. Ranging from the set-opener, “Mt. Crushmore,” which is the title track off the group’s latest release, to songs pulled from ten years ago and beyond, such as “By Any Shmeeans Necessary” and “Last Suppit” off of 2008’s Rage!, the band was fully dialed into their set in its entirety, with the collaboration with Chaka Khan helping fuel the high-energy performance.You can listen to the full audio from Lettuce’s Friday set at The Peach Festival featuring Chaka Khan below, courtesy of Ted Gakidis.Setlist: Lettuce & Chaka Khan | The Peach Festival | Montage Mountain | Scranton, PA | 8/11/2017Set: Mt.

Saint Mary’s Student Government Association announced it will be working on re-opening Clarissa Dalloway’s Coffeehouse sometime in the near future, potentially collaborating with Sodexo, the food service company at the College. As part of the long-standing contractual agreement with the College, Sodexo, formerly Sodexho Alliance, is the sole food provider allowed on campus.“Sodexho is the exclusive food provider for Saint Mary’s College,” the Catering and Food Services Policy from the Saint Mary’s Employee Handbook states. “Sodexho assumes responsibility for feeding students and catering College events. Sodexho also assumes the liability for providing this service.”According to the handbook, “Food may be brought to an event by a college employee or student for an internal event … if that event is strictly for College employees and/or students. Internal clients, external clients and outside caterers will not be permitted to use kitchen facilities in the Clubhouse, CYBER Café, Haggar Center, Stapleton Lounge/Conference Room, Spes Unica, or in the Dining Hall.”During her years as the operations manager at Dalloway’s, Katie White (’07) said she and the rest of the student board struggled to maintain a working relationship with Sodexo.“We were constantly battling with Sodexo,” White said. “And that was a really difficult relationship to manage because Sodexo would not allow student workers to serve food or coffee.”White said this dynamic was introduced when Dalloway’s moved from its original spot near the Church of Our Lady of Loretto and Holy Cross Hall to its current location on the Avenue. During construction, a full kitchen was included in the new Dalloway’s.“They built a whole kitchen because they’re like, ‘Oh, well, now we can have food here,’” White said. “But because we could have food there, we had to have it staffed by a Sodexo person instead of just student staffers. That was a big problem, and it was something that was constantly a source of friction.”Upon the opening of Cyber Cafe, now called 1844 Grill, Sodexo stopped sending workers who previously staffed Dalloway’s to the coffeehouse, White said.“They didn’t want to have to staff it every single night,” she said. “So while it was open every night my freshman and sophomore years, by junior and senior year, when the new student center came on and Cyber opened, Sodexo basically stopped staffing it except for Wednesday nights, and then whenever we could beg them to open it. So that was a big problem.”This dynamic possibly contributed to the phasing out of Dalloway’s in the years after her graduation, White said.“And I wish we had had more support from administration in kind of talking with Sodexo about this,” she said. “We were kind of left to our own devices negotiating with Sodexo. So we obviously have no good negotiating power, and then as soon as we leave, [Sodexo] then can change whatever they want for the people that are in those positions after us. So I think that was a really big problem.”Jim Risacher was officially named the interim general manager of Sodexo at Saint Mary’s Sept. 23, after former general manager Kenneth Acosta resigned due to health reasons.Risacher said the exclusivity clause that exists within the contract between Sodexo and Saint Mary’s was put in place as an insurance measure and to save the College money.“Number one, the vendor they’ve secured has liability insurance for the food they serve on campus,” Risacher said. “Number two, they know the expectations of the University better normally than an outside vendor. The exclusivity clause is there because what normally happens is [the College] gets a better deal price-wise, and depending on the contract, [the College] may share in those profits from the catering, as opposed to if you go to an outside caterer which is not recognized on campus, you lose that ability to make some money from them to help pay for other things.”Risacher, who has 40 years of experience in the service industry, said he has worked with student organizations in the past to operate on-campus coffee shops.“It’s a mixed bag,” Risacher said. “My understanding here that [Dalloway’s] was closed because it had low sales, and wasn’t supporting the cost that was being put into it, including the labor and food costs and things of that nature. And that’s why it was closed. That’s what I was told.”Running a coffeehouse incurs a considerable cost, Risacher said.“In my experiences, I know the students want someplace on campus to hang out,” he said. “You know, a lot of times it just — you want someplace that you have internet access, you can plug in, and you can talk to your friends, or you can study. When you start adding food to those venues, then you have additional costs. First question is who’s going to pay for that cost?”While Risacher said Sodexo works at the will of the College to provide financial advice and fill food services, the company is always open to conversation with student organizations.“We’re here to serve the students,” Risacher said. “I tell my employees we only have one goal here — it’s a simple mission to improve the food experience for the student. That’s all we’re going to do. So everything we do supports that. And that means working with student groups. We are engaged with SGA on a weekly basis. We’re committed to working with [the College] and the student groups on any project they want on campus and use our expertise to make it happen.”In the past, Risacher said he has seen student governments take over and run their own coffee shops.“You have to have the participation to make it work,” Risacher said. “So you have to see who actually has some skin in the game when it’s all said and done. The problem is that you have students coming and going — they’re here for four years at the most. … If you have a business entrepreneur, they’re going to push it, but when they graduate what happens?”However, Risacher said Sodexo will work with Saint Mary’s SGA in reinstalling Clarissa Dalloway’s Coffeehouse.“In every case I know of, we will work with whatever group to be available to them with the resources that they need,” Risacher said.Tags: Clarissa Dalloway’s Coffeehouse, Sodexo, Student Government Association

His two alleged accomplices, 23-year-old Belinda Ortiz of Brentwood and 21-year-old Tasean Berry of Deer Park, were arrested on Monday.All three were charged with burglary. Berry and Ortiz are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Central Islip.Bail for Steele was set at $500,000 bond or $250,000 cash.

Norwegian shipowner Ocean Yield has agreed to acquire four very large crude carriers (VLCCs) with 15-year bareboat charters.All four vessels are chartered to companies owned and guaranteed by Okeanis Marine Holdings, and sub-chartered to the shipping arm of a large industrial conglomerate for a period of 5 years.The company said that the gross purchase price is USD 83.75 million per VLCC and the net cash purchase price is USD 74.25 million after a seller’s credit of USD 9.50 million.“The investment is done at historically low asset values and will increase our EBITDA charter backlog by about 16% to USD 3.4 billion as per today,” Lars Solbakken, Ocean Yield’s Chief Executive Officer, said.The ships are scheduled for delivery by South Korean yard, Hyundai Heavy Industries, in Q2-Q3 2019. Okeanis Marine Holdings will have certain options to acquire the VLCCs during the charter period, with the first purchase option exercisable after seven years.
“Bordalas is a great manager, he demands a lot,” Nyom said. “That’s his style. His big thing is we are a team, a family. He tells us to run, to fight, to never give up and believe me, we run a lot.“It was the hardest pre-season of my career, run, run, run. But it means we can be 100 per cent all the time. At some clubs there is training and there are matches. Here the two are the same.”There may not be a coach in Europe doing a better job than Bordalas and his success has brought speculation, with Atletico Madrid mentioned as a possible next step.“Of course he could do it at a bigger club,” says Nyom. “It’s harder, not easier, with lower teams. With better players he could do even better.”But there are reservations about Getafe’s style, an unashamedly direct approach that looks for territory, relies on defence and relishes confrontation.In La Liga this season, they have completed the fewest passes, collected the most yellow cards and committed the highest number of fouls.Barcelona have four players in the league’s top 10 for passes made while Getafe’s highest, Marc Cucurella, is 74th, and he is on loan from Barcelona.“People can think what they want,” Nyom said. “But we have good players too, skilful, technical players. It’s just these players can defend so it’s the perfect combination for us.”After Barcelona, Getafe play Ajax in the Europa League next week, two opponents united in their veneration of Johan Cruyff and unerring in the belief there is one way the game should be played.Read Also: Delighted Joseph Yobo explains new Super Eagles roleYet Getafe have their own style and their own conviction too.“Style is important because it’s your identity but there are different styles,” Nyom said.“Barcelona want possession, we want to press. We play direct and they play with the ball. But one style is not better than the other. For us, it’s all about the result.”FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 Nyom celebrated his first goal for the club like it was the first of his life, racing one way and then the other, not quite sure where he was going until suddenly deciding where he had to end up. Ogenekaro Etebo’s teammate Allan Nyom took a yellow card, scored a goal and was substituted before half-time and in those 16 minutes it was possible to understand why Getafe sit third in La Liga.Advertisement Jose Bordalas took charge of Getafe in September 2016, with the club sitting 21st in Segunda.

He found the Getafe fans in the corner, who celebrated Nyom putting them two up against old rivals, Leganes, whom Nyom had left last summer, and firing them within touching distance of new ones, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, in a remarkable challenge for the top four.“This year I’m playing like a right winger and I want to score goals,” Nyom says, in an interview with AFP. “I even try to do tricks now. That’s this team, I’m loving it.”Six minutes before, Nyom had been booked and 10 minutes later, in the 31st minute of the January 17 game at Leganes, he was taken off. On show all at once, Getafe’s mean streak, their unity and the ruthlessness of their coach, Jose Bordalas, to put team above all else.“When people think of Getafe they think of hard work,” says Nyom. “We play together, work together, run together, that’s the most important thing.”Bordalas took over in September 2016 with Getafe 21st in Segunda. Instead of going down, they went up and then instead of scrapping for survival, they finished eighth.Allan Nyom is in the form of his life for Getafe, who play Barcelona on Saturday and sit third in La Liga.Last year, Bordalas took them to the brink of Champions League qualification, missing out to Valencia on the last day, and this season they are challenging again.“There are still a lot of games left but we have a chance,” said Nyom. “I think this year it will be even harder because the teams around those positions are strong and getting stronger. But we will try.”On Saturday, they play Barcelona, whose 11 starting players last weekend cost 340 million euros. Getafe’s cost 21 million, four of them free and one on loan. Barcelona’s salary cap this season is 671 million euros, comfortably 10 times more than Getafe’s 56 million.But Bordalas has instilled belief. Jorge Molina, who scored twice against Valencia last weekend, is 37, older than the club itself.Nyom, at 31, once of Watford and West Brom, is in the form of his life, dreaming of the Champions League and a starting spot at next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, when his country Cameroon will be hosts.

Share This StoryFacebookTwitteremailPrintLinkedinRedditLISBON, Portugal (AP) — Kingsley Coman headed Bayern Munich to a sixth European Cup title on Sunday, scoring against boyhood club Paris Saint-Germain to seal a 1-0 victory in the first Champions League final to be played without fans.While Bayern won its first final since 2013, PSG has yet to lift the European Cup despite more than $1 billion being spent on players in nine years.More than $500 million was spent on Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Angel Di Maria but PSG looked far from formidable or threatening against the Bavarian giants who felt more assured on European club football’s biggest stage. August 23, 2020 The season is now over — three months later than planned due to the coronavirus pandemic pause in play — with Bayern treble winners just as it was in 2013.The European Cup joins the Bundesliga trophy — won for an eighth successive season — and the German Cup.Bayern joins deposed champion Liverpool as six-time champions of Europe, only behind AC Milan (seven) and Real Madrid (13). It was the first final to end 1-0 since Real Madrid beat Juventus in 1998 which was also the last final to feature teams who qualified as domestic champions. But the singing PSG contingent around the directors’ box was silenced in a stadium that was largely empty due to coronavirus restrictions. And when the final whistle blew, Neymar was in tears, embraced by Bayern rival David Alaba.“They were more clinical than us,” PSG midfielder Ander Herrera said. “When you play another top team in Europe, if you don’t score they will.” Bayern beats Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to win 6th European Cup As the costly front three were frustrated in front of goal, it was instead a winger who was born in Paris and started his career at PSG who inflicted the blow.The 24-year-old Coman ghosted in at the far post unchecked by the PSG defense and was ready to meet a cross from Joshua Kimmich in the 59th minute.It was Bayern’s 43rd goal of a perfect European campaign that has seen Bayern become the first team to win all 11 Champions League matches.“When you win a title like this with brothers on the pitch,” Kimmich said, “that’s the maximum you can ask for.”It capped an incredible transformation this season under Hansi Flick, who emerged from the shadows in November, with a promotion to the top coaching job with Bayern fourth in the Bundesliga. 
Perhaps the only surprise was that there was no 56th goal of the season by Bayern forward Robert Lewandowski.For once his scoring contribution was not needed as this season like no other ended with a 21st successive win for Bayern as part of a 30-game unbeaten run.___More AP soccer https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports PSG’s footballing superstars were subdued at a final which lacked the usual pre-match entertainment from pop stars.Not that PSG lacked chances to take the lead at a final that should have been played in Istanbul in May, rather than the Portuguese capital in late August when seasons usually begin not end.Only the presence of “Istanbul” on the match ball that Neymar struck at Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 18th was a reminder here of the pandemic-enforced change of location.Neymar did spark the move that saw Herrera and Di Maria combine but the Argentine could only strike over.And an interchange between Herrera and Mbappé before halftime ended with a weak shot from the French forward.
