On 4th October, I was invited to join a Wine Australia "round table" tasting at Malmaison in the cobbled, gated and leafy Charterhouse Square in London. Once a Carthusian monastery, the surviving buildings here are now Sutton Hospital Almshouses.
Monasteries and Pinot Noir tend to go well together so it was very fitting that one half of the double act for the evening was Rollo Crittenden of the family-owned winery on Mornington Peninsula. The other half was Jane Ferrari of Yalumba. As usual, Jane talked and talked and then talked a bit more. But Rollo more than held his own.
Rollo is a well-travelled and open-minded winemaker. He has worked vintages in Oregon (at Yam Hill Valley Vineyards), California (Au Bon Climat) and Barolo (Brezza). Burgundy has been visited several times.
Although there is an obvious link between Oregon, Santa Barbara County and Burgundy with the red wines made on the Mornington Peninsula, Rollo says that his seminal wine experience was in Barolo. "The incredible food and wine culture dating back centuries is so far removed from anything you could ever hope to see in Australia", he said. "I would say that my time in the Old World has given me a greater appreciation for wines of distinction."
In 1981, Rollo's father Garry planted three acres of Cabernet and an acre each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. More of the latter two were planted in 1985, 1987 and 1991. The Cabernet, however, was never successful – Mornington's maritime climate is too cool for this variety. So, in 2009, the remaining Cabernet was replaced by Pinot.
The clones used for the initial plantings of Pinot were lacklustre: nowadays they are used for sparkling wines. The "new" ones are far superior, with smaller berries and better fruit quality. "Every year you learn more about Pinot", said Rollo. "It's such an exiting variety… It's a fun ride we're on at the moment."
Although only 25 miles long by ten or so miles wide, the Mornington Peninsula's soil types are many and varied. Crittenden's vineyard has 12-inch deep sandy loam over a clay base. Rollo is "convinced that the good drainage properties of the loam help accentuate the elegance of our wines." He also explained how he encourages and maintains soil health by the use of green mulching and composting. This, he claims, increases the microbial content of the soil and "provides greater palate weight to our wines".
Crittenden's Pinots are always destemmed because, Rollo said, "even if the grapes are ripe the stems are green." Mornington Peninsula does not have the slightly warmer temperatures that permit whole bunch pressing or stem retention.
The Estate Pinot Noir 2009 had the correct, pale colour of thoughtfully made Pinot. "Pinot is an elegant, balanced, restrained wine. It doesn't need to be a deep colour", asserted Rollo. Although made in a warm growing year, it was brightly fruited. Like a slightly out of focus photograph, it was blurred at the edges, needing a bit more time to soften and smooth.
The Zumma Pinot Noir of the same vintage had exuberant acidity. Both wines were in keeping with Rollo's stated intention to produce "wines that are balanced and savoury with bright acid and structured tannins. I certainly don't want to make wines that are fruit-sweet or high in alcohol."
A couple of additional Pinots were tasted. Only 260 cases were made by Mac Forbes of his Woori Yallock's Pinot Noir 2010, which makes it somewhat surprising that any makes its way to London. Its blueberry and chocolate flavours evoked the relatively warm 2010 Upper Yarra vintage. Aeration exposed the oak – only 7% of which was new – but on the whole its generous and moreish style was very appealing.
Even though it was made in a notoriously hot year, during which a February heatwave reduced expected yields by half, Kooyong's 2009 Pinot Noir Meres from Mornington was much "cooler" in style than the Woori Yallock, supporting Rollo's assertion that "every wine must have a sense of place… On the Mornington Peninsula there is increasingly a sense of place." It improved in the glass and had much finer fruit than the first wine, though the tannins were quite tenacious. At any rate, both the Kooyong and Woori Yallock were extremely well made, neither wine being extracted or wearing too much oak makeup.
For the record, we also tasted a pleasant Bremerton Verdelho 2009; an outstanding Pewsey Vale The Contours Riesling 2005, all "snap crackle and pop" acidity as Jane put it; the impressive (and impressively expensive) Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier 2008; Coriole's authentic-tasting Sangiovese 2009; the assertive Skillagolee Trevarrick Cabernet Sauvignon 2004; the very drinkable Scribbler 2009 by Yalumba; a delicious Yalumba The Signature 2005; a mature Yalumba The Reserve 2002; and a decadent Yalumba Museum Reserve 21-Years Old Antique Tawny.

Joe Eszterhas tells TMZ ... he has hard proof that he witnessed the hate-filled rants he -- or someone -- just disclosed to the world, because his teenage son secretly recorded much of it.
Joe tells us, "A lot of the stuff is on tape." He says the recordings were made in Costa Rica -- by his son Nick. Joe would not say if the alleged comment about John Lennon -- "I'm glad he's dead. He deserved to be shot," or the comment about Oksana Grigorieva, "I want to f**k her in the ass and stab her while I'm doing it," or the comment about William Morris/Endeavor Chairman Ari Emanuel, "He's a C**t Jewboy," were all on tape.
In his letter to Mel, Joe wrote that his son recorded some of Mel's outbursts on his iPhone, but the letter did not disclose how much -- now Joe says, "a lot."
Joe also says people who allegedly witnessed Mel's rants are willing to come forward.
As for "The Maccabees" script that Warner Bros. rejected, Joe said, "I'm heartbroken. I put my heart and soul into a script for someone who hates Jews."
Joe said, "He needs help. Badly."
Conspiracy theory: Esterdouche has leftover recordings given to him by Oxykaka. They will now edit them to make them sound like calls to Esterdouche.
I'm sorry, but this guy sounds like one bitter pill.
They aren't 'calls' they are in person recordings made during the actual rants in Costa Rica.. did you even bother to read the letter or the article? Mel loves to rant and blow up.. why should this time be any less credible than the last times. Point is the rants are real, and the kid became frightened and hit record. Good for him, hope they release the recordings soon!
I'm sorry but this guy stuck around for all that "hate" ranting and didn't seem to object until his script was rejected?
Then to have stuff secretly recorded?
Why didn't the guy take off from the project when he first heard Gibson spewing the hate?
Because the all-might dollar is his God! And until there were no dollars coming his way, then he decides he has a conscience?
Give me a break!
If Gibson did do all that this guy says he did, he's just as guilty for enjoying the company until his script was rejected.
mike t.
1. WB said his script SUCKED not just Mel
2. Put that kid in JAIL for wiretapping. You can't record a private conversation if your not part of it.
,,,just WAY TOO MANY examples and proof of Gibson and his hate to ignore this. Why is it the ones that claim to be so holy and even BUILD churches end up being like this?
"As for "The Maccabees" script that Warner Bros. rejected, Joe said, "I'm heartbroken. I put my heart and soul into a script for someone who hates Jews."
I'm sorry, again, but wasn't it Warner Brothers who rejected the script? He seems to think Gibson is the only one who rejected the script.
The script sucked! It's that plain and simple.

Rod_Master: 5 minutes ago
1. WB said his script SUCKED not just Mel
2. Put that kid in JAIL for wiretapping. You can't record a private conversation if your not part
If the kid felt he or others were in danger that's justifiable reason to record the outbursts!
Has "SISTER KKG KATHLEEN" come around to "LECTURE" us yet? Or is she out buying a "NEW" ruler?
I'm sure if ANYONE can conjure up an "EXCUSE" for a grown man telling a 14yo "BOY" that he want's to "ANALLY" rape OG and STAB her while "DOING IT", KKG can!
Oh Mel Mel Mel. Poor crazy bigoted anti-Semitic psychotic little Mel. When will you know to just STFU?!? Just IMAGINE what you can do. The positive INSTANT KARMA will be beautiful. But you would probably believe the Jews were playing MIND GAMES with you.
At this point I'm going to withhold judgement until these supposed tapes surface. I really don't know who to believe here.

Photo August 23, 2012 | 24 notes Spanish church mural ruined by well-intentioned restorer There can be little doubt that the woman, identified only as an octogenarian local, was just trying to help when she noticed that the face of the scourged Christ on the wall of a small church in the city was looking a bit faded, and decided to freshen it up a bit. Sadly for her – and Elías García Martínez, the 19th-century artist who painted the mural – her brush skills were not quite up to the job. The unnamed amateur has transformed what was once a pleasant, if unremarkable, Ecce Homo into something that more closely resembles a bloated hedgehog than the image of Jesus before Pilate.

Two Distinct Binding Modes Define the Interaction of Brox with the C-Terminal Tails of CHMP5 and CHMP4B Structure, Volume 20, Issue 5, 9 May 2012, Pages 887-898 Ruiling Mu, Vincent Dussupt, Jiansheng Jiang, Paola Sette, Victoria Rudd, Watchalee Chuenchor, Nana F. Bello, Fadila Bouamr and Tsan Sam Xiao Summary Interactions of the CHMP protein carboxyl terminal tails with effector proteins play important roles in retroviral budding, cytokinesis, and multivesicular body biogenesis. Here we demonstrate that hydrophobic residues at the CHMP4B C-terminal amphipathic α helix bind a concave surface of Brox, a mammalian paralog of Alix. Unexpectedly, CHMP5 was also found to bind Brox and specifically recruit endogenous Brox to detergent-resistant membrane fractions through its C-terminal 20 residues. Instead of an α helix, the CHMP5 C-terminal tail adopts a tandem β-hairpin structure that binds Brox at the same site as CHMP4B. Additional Brox:CHMP5 interface is furnished by a unique CHMP5 hydrophobic pocket engaging the Brox residue Y348 that is not conserved among the Bro1 domains. Our studies thus unveil a β-hairpin conformation of the CHMP5 protein C-terminal tail, and provide insights into the overlapping but distinct binding profiles of ESCRT-III and the Bro1 domain proteins.

ESCRT-III Protein Requirements for HIV-1 Budding Cell Host & Microbe, Volume 9, Issue 3, 17 March 2011, Pages 235-242 Eiji Morita, Virginie Sandrin, John McCullough, Angela Katsuyama, Ira Baci Hamilton and Wesley I. Sundquist Summary Two early-acting components of the cellular ESCRT pathway, ESCRT-I and ALIX, participate directly in HIV-1 budding. The membrane fission activities of ESCRT-III subunits are also presumably required, but humans express 11 different CHMP/ESCRT-III proteins whose functional contributions are not yet clear. We therefore depleted cells of each of the different CHMP proteins and protein families and examined the effects on HIV-1 budding. Virus release was profoundly inhibited by codepletion of either CHMP2 or CHMP4 family members, resulting in ≥100-fold titer reductions. CHMP2A and CHMP4B proteins bound one another, and this interaction was required for budding. By contrast, virus release was reduced only modestly by depletion of CHMP3 and CHMP1 proteins (2- to 8-fold titer reductions) and was unaffected by depletion of other human ESCRT-III proteins. HIV-1 budding therefore requires only a subset of the known human ESCRT-III proteins, with the CHMP2 and CHMP4 families playing key functional roles. Summary | Full Text | PDF (841 kb) |
A Crescent-Shaped ALIX Dimer Targets ESCRT-III CHMP4 Filaments Structure, Volume 17, Issue 6, 10 June 2009, Pages 843-856 Ricardo Pires, Bettina Hartlieb, Luca Signor, Guy Schoehn, Suman Lata, Manfred Roessle, Christine Moriscot, Sergei Popov, Andreas Hinz, Marc Jamin, Veronique Boyer, Remy Sadoul, Eric Forest, Dmitri I. Svergun, Heinrich G. Göttlinger and Winfried Weissenhorn Summary ALIX recruits ESCRT-III CHMP4 and is involved in membrane remodeling during endosomal receptor sorting, budding of some enveloped viruses, and cytokinesis. We show that ALIX dimerizes via the middle domain (ALIX-V) in solution. Structural modeling based on small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data reveals an elongated crescent-shaped conformation for dimeric ALIX lacking the proline-rich domain (ALIXBRO1-V). Mutations at the dimerization interface prevent dimerization and induce an open elongated monomeric conformation of ALIX-V as determined by SAXS modeling. ALIX dimerizes in vivo and dimeric ALIX colocalizes with CHMP4B upon coexpression. We show further that ALIX dimerization affects HIV-1 budding. C-terminally truncated activated CHMP4B retaining the ALIX binding site forms linear, circular, and helical filaments in vitro, which can be bridged by ALIX. Our data suggest that dimeric ALIX represents the active form that interacts with ESCRT-III CHMP4 polymers and functions as a scaffolding protein during membrane remodeling processes.

Cataracts are a clinically diverse and genetically heterogeneous disorder of the crystalline lens and a leading cause of visual impairment. Here we report linkage of autosomal dominant "progressive childhood posterior subcapsular" cataracts segregating in a white family to short tandem repeat (STR) markers D20S847 (LOD score [Z] 5.50 at recombination fraction [θ] 0.0) and D20S195 (Z=3.65 at θ=0.0) on 20q, and identify a refined disease interval (rs2057262–(3.8 Mb)–rs1291139) by use of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Mutation profiling of positional-candidate genes detected a heterozygous transversion (c.386A→T) in exon 3 of the gene for chromatin modifying protein-4B (CHMP4B) that was predicted to result in the nonconservative substitution of a valine residue for a phylogenetically conserved aspartic acid residue at codon 129 (p.D129V). In addition, we have detected a heterozygous transition (c.481G→A) in exon 3 of CHMP4B cosegregating with autosomal dominant posterior polar cataracts in a Japanese family that was predicted to result in the missense substitution of lysine for a conserved glutamic acid residue at codon 161 (p.E161K). Transfection studies of cultured cells revealed that a truncated form of recombinant D129V-CHMP4B had a different subcellular distribution than wild type and an increased capacity to inhibit release of virus-like particles from the cell surface, consistent with deleterious gain-of-function effects. These data provide the first evidence that CHMP4B, which encodes a key component of the endosome sorting complex required for the transport-III (ESCRT-III) system of mammalian cells, plays a vital role in the maintenance of lens transparency.

The evening might have been a tribute to the dead, but El Museo del Barrio's annual Día de los Muertos party Thursday night was very much alive. The scene was like a high school reunion: Melissa George and her date, Bibhu Mohapatra (left), exchanged hugs with guests like model Liliana Dominguez, artist Gabriel Orozco, and makeup artist Alexa Rodulfo. It was the kickoff to what's looking like a three-day Halloween weekend—and Mohapatra, for one, was excited. "My friend has a glass house that is very James Bond and there are a bunch of us going there," he said. But for his costume, he's channeling a slightly less suave film hero. "I am going to be Freddy Krueger going Bollywood." (And George? She hadn't planned on much—"I might go to Abracadabra tomorrow," she conceded.)The evening may have been Mexico-centric—Día de los Muertos is a Mexican tradition, after all—but there were two ambassadors from the wider world: Miss USA, Rima Fakih, and Miss Universe, Ximena Navarrete, representing their respective constituencies. They danced amid traditional day of the dead decor: skulls, candles, and framed photos of the dead, including one of our most-mourned recently departed—Michael Jackson.

Acerca del autor
Joshua Deaner (b. 1976 Boston, MA) is an artist whose work is photographically based. He makes compositions, sometimes incorporating text, which are more fine art "stories" than traditional photographic prints. Deaner's work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums and is included in several private collections.
Deaner graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology where he received his Associates Degree of Applied Arts and Sciences. The Boston Globe said of one of the exhibitions, "Deaner's subject matter isn't the world, but the stray, spiraling paths he wanders as he watches the world."

Oklahoma Baptist University is a small Christian liberal arts university. Therefore, Religion majors strive to better themselves through a rigorous four years of learning, growing and preparing so that they may one day use the knowledge they have gained from OBU to instruct and better the lives of others.
Students and Professors alike are eager to dig deep into the Bible and grow and mature in their Christian walk. Many feel that OBU is the place which that can be done.
Junior Bible major Adam Livingston said, �Since I was sixteen I have felt that the only job that would ever suit me would be some sort of church ministry.
Thus, a Christian University was really the best option, and considering most ministers do not stay in one position I thought it would be helpful to have a major that was broad yet focused on the Bible.�
Dr Bobby Kelly, Professor of Religion, has been serving at OBU for the past fifteen years.
��I would hope religion majors would be the most excellent students on campus,� said Kelly, �They should have the highest motivation to do their best.�
�These are students who will be ministering to people�s spiritual needs, and that is something at least as significant as someone who�s training to be a medical doctor or mental health care provider or any other field. Students in ministry should strive to be excellent in every way.�
According to the OBU website, OBU School of Christian Services� goal is to, �Promote the intellectual and spiritual development of OBU students through a thorough engagement with the classical disciplines of religion and philosophy as well as the applied disciplines of Christian ministry, all within the context of OBU�s liberal arts curriculum.�
Students come to OBU to be challenged, taught and to grow in their spiritual lives.
Timothy Livingston, Freshman Bible major, said, �I have selected a Bible major because two summers ago I felt God�s call to ministry for my life. �I don�t know exactly what that ministry is going to look like, so Bible seemed like a good choice that would be well used in any field of ministry God has for my future.�
Livingston chose to study at OBU because he believes that God pointed him in that direction for many reasons he may not fully understand yet.
�I don�t know exactly what I�ll do with my degree,� said Timothy, ��All I know is that I have been called by God, and now I am trusting in him to take care of my future ministry, whatever that may be.�
Like Livingston, freshman Bible major Davey Billings was called into ministry a year before college. �I wanted to go to a college with a ministry program and I was familiar with the campus because my sister graduated in 2003.� said Billings, �I loved the campus and was very comfortable here, so I decided to apply, and here I am.
Professors at OBU expect excellence from their students, and want them to succeed in their lives after college.
�I want my students to leave OBU transformed in every way.� said Kelly.
� I hope they are able to understand the world at a deeper level, see the complexities of it, become completely dissatisfied with simplistic answers to complex problems, to develop a love for learning beyond what we can teach them at OBU, and have all the tools at their disposal to do whatever is it God has called them to do.�
Like the professors, students also have high expectations of their experience at OBU. Adam said.
�Overall I would like to come out of OBU with a fresh view of the Bible, one that is less tainted by my past and more influenced by what the text actually has to say. �
�Both Peter and Paul claim the Scriptures are the words of God, words that have objective meaning. �If this is true then what I think is irrelevant, the goal is to stay as faithful to the scriptures as possible.�
Billings wants to be able to fully understand what it is he believes and wants to be able to communicate that effectively in his future. �I want to explore God�s word in new ways and learn more about its history and what it actually says.� said Billings, �I also want to explore different religions as well, and learn what it is they believe.�
Like both Adam and Billings, Timothy strives to gain a better understanding of God as a whole, �The only thing I really want to get out of being at OBU and pursuing my major is to know God more and have a better understanding of his word.� said Timothy.
Each year many students come to OBU with the hopes of getting a degree in Religion, and gaining both knowledge and understanding of the word of God. Professors eagerly await their arrival and look forward to beginning a journey of a lifetime.

Joel Thomas Zimmerman (born January 5, 1981), better known by his stage name deadmau5 (pronounced "dead mouse"), is a Canadian progressive-house music producer and performer from Toronto, Ontario.
Zimmerman produces a variety of styles within the house genre and sometimes other forms of electronic dance music. His tracks have been included in numerous compilation albums such as the 2007 In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza CD. The February 2008 issue of MixMag's music magazine included a free CD which was titled MixMag Presents: The Hottest New Name In Dance! DEADMAU5 Tech-Trance-Electro-Madness, mixed by Zimmerman. Tracks have also been included and presented on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance radio show. His debut album, Get Scraped, was released in 2005, followed by others in the next few years.
As well as his own solo releases, Zimmerman has worked alongside other DJs and producers, such as Kaskade, MC Flipside, Rob Swire of Knife Party and Pendulum, Wolfgang Gartner, Bighorse, and on a number of releases, Zimmerman has partnered with Melleefresh. The release date is currently unknown, but an early 12" single produced on vinyl titled "I Don't Want No Other" was released by Joel Zimmerman under the alias "Dred And Karma".2 The 2006 album titled Deadmau5 Circa 1998–2002 was released using the alias "Halcyon441" and the collaboration with Joel Zimmerman and Steve Duda was under the alias "BSOD" (which stands for "Blue Screen of Death").3
Early life
Zimmerman was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario.4 His mother, Nancy (née Johnson), is a visual artist, and his father, Rodney Thomas "Rod" Zimmerman, is a General Motors plant worker.56 He has two siblings, Jennifer (older) and Chris (younger).5 His ancestry includes German, Swiss, and English.67 He received his first keyboard for Christmas when he was a teenager.58 His career began in the mid 1990s, with a chiptune and demoscene movements-influenced sound.
In late 2012, an old demo track by Zimmerman from 1995 called "Can't Remember The Name" resurfaced on YouTube.9
2005-2006: Get Scraped and self-released compilations
Zimmerman released his debut studio album, titled Get Scraped on July 26, 2005. The tracks "Just Before 8bit", "Nice Try, Kiddo" and "Uploading and Downloading" from Project 56 were edited and expanded upon in Get Scraped under the names "8bit", "Try Again", and "Unspecial Effects", respectively. Tracks "Bored of Canada", "Intelstat" and "I Forget" reappear on this album as is, as well as "The Oshawa Connection" from deadmau5 Circa 1998–2002.
Three self-released compilations, Project 56, deadmau5 Circa 1998-2002, and A Little Oblique, were finished in 2006,10 with Project 56 seeing an official release in February 2008.
2007–2008: Mau5trap label and Random Album Title
In 2007, Zimmerman began his own record label "mau5trap", which, along with Ultra Records and Ministry of Sound, released the 2008 album Random Album Title, which saw the collaboration of Zimmerman and San Francisco producer Kaskade with "I Remember". Random Album Title, saw a digital release in September 2008 via Ultra Records in the United States and Ministry of Sound in the United Kingdom and Europe. Physical copies of the album were released in November 2008.11
In the United States, Zimmerman's collaboration with Kaskade, "Move for Me", reached number one on Billboard magazine's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart in its September 6, 2008 issue.12 Since then, Zimmerman has seen two more tracks, also collaborations ("I Remember" with Kaskade & "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" with Rob Swire), reach number one on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, making him the only Canadian to have three number-one tracks on that chart. He is also the fifth Canadian to top that chart, following Deborah Cox, Nelly Furtado, Dragonette, and Justin Bieber, each with one apiece.
2009–2010: For Lack of a Better Name and 4x4=12
On September 22, 2009, Ultra Records released his album For Lack of a Better Name in the United States, and October 5 internationally.13 On a subsequent tour in the fall of 2009, Zimmerman's performances were recorded and made available for sale immediately following the concerts on USB wristband flash drives.14 For Lack of a Better Name includes two of Zimmerman's most popular songs, "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" (featuring Rob Swire) and "Strobe".
MTV named Zimmerman as the house DJ for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and MTV PUSH artist of the week on August 16, 2010. He expressed gratitude towards Lady Gaga and David Guetta for bringing dance into the pop music scene and paving the way for him to the mainstream.15 At the awards, Zimmerman performed with Jason Derulo and Travie McCoy.16 His song "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" had been featured on the soundtrack for the MTV reality series Jersey Shore earlier.17
His fifth studio album, titled 4×4=12, was released on December 6, 2010 in the United Kingdom and December 7, 2010 in the United States. Singles "Some Chords", "Animal Rights", "Sofi Needs a Ladder" have been released and have been featured on the album, with "Raise Your Weapon" released in 2011. "Some Chords" was featured on an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation where Zimmerman made a cameo appearance, and an instrumental version of "Sofi Needs a Ladder" was featured in the film The Hangover Part II.
2011–2012: Album Title Goes Here
On August 9, 2012, Zimmerman announced his upcoming sixth studio album, Album Title Goes Here, which was released on September 24 of that year.18 Singles from this album include "Maths", "The Veldt" (featuring Chris James) and "Professional Griefers" featuring My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way. This collaboration was announced on Facebook prior to release.19 In December 2012, FUSE TV named "Professional Griefers" one of the top 40 songs of 201220
2013–present: Astralwerks, 7 EP, and new album
In November 2013, Zimmerman deleted three years worth of music from his SoundCloud account, replacing them with an EP of seven melancholy piano sonatas (simply called 7), named after the Latin translations for the Seven Deadly Sins: "Acedia", "Avaritia", "Gula", "Invidia", "Ira", "Luxuria", and "Superbia".21
Also in November 2013, Zimmerman signed with record label Astralwerks, the famed NYC-based imprint that house artists such as Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, and The Chemical Brothers. Speaking on the partnership, Zimmerman admitted, "I found a place that knows what to do with my music."22
On January 7, 2014, Zimmerman announced via his Twitter account that his much-anticipated new album is complete. "In other news...i finished my album today," the tweet read. "2 discs. 2 continuous mixes. 25 tracks. and something im proud of."21
Video game appearances
Zimmerman is a playable avatar in DJ Hero 2, a video game released in October 2010.232425 The game featured several tracks by the artist, including a mix of Ghosts 'N Stuff with Lady Gaga's Just Dance.26
His music has been included in more video game titles, including Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Saints Row: The Third, FIFA 13, Grand Theft Auto IV, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, GoldenEye 007, Wipeout 2048, The Sims 3, Asphalt 8: Airborne, and Sound Shapes.citation needed
Personal life
On July 30, 2010, at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., Zimmerman collapsed on stage, suffering from exhaustion and vomiting, resulting in the cancellation of the rest of the show, as well as nine shows following the event.2728
Zimmerman began dating Playboy Playmate of the Month Lindsey Evans shortly after meeting her at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in September 2010.529 Evans eventually moved to Toronto, Canada to live with him. Zimmerman announced in September 2011 that the two had broken up.30
In September 2012, Zimmerman began dating American tattoo artist and TV personality Kat Von D.31 After breaking up in November 2012, they shortly rekindled their relationship.32 On December 15, 2012, Zimmerman proposed to Von D via Twitter, and they announced they would marry in August 2013 with an aquatic themed wedding.3334 They both have several matching tattoos, including the numbers "289m3d22h" on both of their arms, which is sentimental to the day that they met, as well as two black stars underneath their eyes.35 Zimmerman moved from his Toronto home to Los Angeles, California in the United States to live with Von D.36 In June 2013, Von D announced that they had ended their engagement.37
Origin of "deadmau5"
Zimmerman's father claims that when his son was in his early teens, he was chatting with a friend on his computer, which then abruptly shut off. According to Zimmerman's father, he said that it smelled like burnt wire and had a strange odor. Zimmerman started to dismantle his computer and happened to find a dead mouse. Zimmerman then became known as the "dead mouse guy" among friends. Joel tried to change his name to "Deadmouse" in an online chat room, but it was too long, so he shortened it to "deadmau5", which is a form of leet.8 Joel created the original logo while learning how to use some 3D modelling software.38 The "mau5head" appears in many different colors and designs, and has been shown on the cover of most of Zimmerman's albums, with the exceptions of At Play and Vexillology. He was given the idea to wear a headdress based on the logo by one of his friends, Jay Gordon of the industrial metal band Orgy. In an interview with CBC Television, Zimmerman said that he wants his logo to be an "icon". Fans often attend Deadmau5 concerts sporting their own copy of the mau5head.
He created "deadmau5.com" and began uploading songs to SectionZ and producing under the alias "deadmau5" in 2002.3940
In December 2007, Marcus Schössow, Maor Levi and DJ Eco41 created a project named Deadrat6 as a joke on Zimmerman, claiming his tracks sound alike.41 A similar faux project was also created under the name of Sinterklaa5.42
In 2008, an artist called DirtyCircuit claimed to have been threatened with legal action after using a sample called "LP_Faxing Berlin C_128bpm"43 that came bundled with FL Studio, and to which Zimmerman claimed copyright.44 The sample was a direct clip of a full bar of the song. Zimmerman provided a "Demo Track" which came bundled with FL Studio, along with several loop samples. The case caused a slight discomfort among the users of FL Studio,45 and some have pointed out potential inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.43

Good keyboardPros: Great looking design Cons: some keys started dying after 5 yearr which is not bad after all. Other Thoughts: Even though some keys did die, it took over 5 years for that to happen and I use this keyboard quite a bit. Now I am trying to replace it but it seems discontinued, new models have usb ports on the sides instead of the back which sucks. Did you find this review helpful? |
It lasted 1.5 yearsPros: Beautiful to look at. Quet . Well built Cons: Well if you noticed the doesn't work (I). What a pain to always have to back and see if any i's are missing. If repeat hitting the i it will work...whoppee. paid $65 for this nice looking ready for the trash keyboard. Other Thoughts: I contacted Enermax and they replied with one sentence " We don't have replacement keys" Thank you very much, for nothing 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
An attibute to envy!Pros: This is really the best keyboard EVER!!! Durable, functional, beautiful - I JUST LOVE IT! I really have no complaints! Fast, easy and silent keystrokes. I've had it for 2 and a half years - 12 hours a day use... and I see no difference in performance. Only very small gloss is appearing on some keys.... but the inscription is intact! Really - THE BEST! Cons: None what so ever! Worth every dime! Other Thoughts: I am sorry to see newegg doesn't offer them anymore... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Overpriced FailurePros: Sturdy solid keyboard that has different feel with their flat keys. I like that the keyboard has a simple layout and not filled with a bunch of extra keys. Cons: Though the keyboard has a sturdy build the keys wore out withing a year of using my keyboard. Since i am an avid gamer the W, S, A, D, Space along with the most used keys started going out. If you take off the keys, under each key there is a rubber cone thing instead of a spring for the response and recoil. They are cheap and break down after many keystrokes causing the keys to stick or not function correctly. Other Thoughts: When my keys started to wear out, i switched out the rubber cones under the keys with other keys on the keyboard that i dont use often making the keyboard usable. I can still use the keyboard but running out of other keys to switch with. Also the flat feel may not be comfortable with some users. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Arguably the best keyboard I've ever owned....Pros: Nice solid feel, the keyboard doesn't creep around even when I'm banging on it pretty hard. I've spend a lot of time with this keyboard over the last 2 years I've owned it and the only wear it shows at all are the areas where my thumbs and palms rest from time to time under the space bar. Key throw (which is very short, similar to a laptop but feels more sturdy) is the same as the day I bought it. This is a pricey keyboard, but worth every cent. Cons: Media controls like volume and mute would really be the icing on the cake for this keyboard, but I've forgone any number of keyboards with those features over the look and feel of this keyboard. Other Thoughts: I'm waiting for this item to come back in stock so I can purchase another one. Did you find this review helpful? |
When can I get one?Pros: This thing looks beautiful and all the reviews are great! I just built a new computer with a black anodized case and i want to get this to match it... Cons: I can't find one in stock ANYWHERE. There might be one in Australia... Other Thoughts: If Newegg/Enermax could give us an ETA on these it would be awesome. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
key failed at 11 monthsPros: Heavy, low-profile feels like "quality". Cons: A key failed at 11 months under light home use so Other Thoughts: The KB002U model is no longer on the Enermax website. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Wish It Weren't True...BUT...Pros: Beautiful, sleek, elegant, sturdy, nice keys. Just great, except... Cons: ...the old VISTA and Sound Card conflict demons have again reared their ugly heads. It doesn't like to stick its USB into my Thermaltake Soprano housed E6600. Constantly looks for a driver. I tried every USB port and they all seem to be the same. Go to reboot and your keyboard is gone. Also, the on-board sound port is a festival of static...and it doesn't seem to care for my HTOmega Striker either. Enermax Customer service should be renamed customer disservice. Masters of the sentence fragment for an e-mail reply...along with pay for an RMA and you won't get a new one until late April, even though one of Newegg's competitors is just two blocks away from Enermax HQ...and they have it in stock. Other Thoughts: Lesson well learned. I will never buy from anyone other than Newegg again...and I will never purchase another Enermax product. BTW, I borrowed a friend's Caesar (big brother to this keyboard)...same deal. To top it all off, even the Enermax logo on my keyboard is applied skewed. The electronics world is getting worse and worse for shoddy merchandise...we have learned to accept 7 dead pixels in an LCD as "acceptable." LOL, would you buy a Porsche that had only 5 cylinders? Manufacturer Response: 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great ProductPros: Great product, superior attention to detail and craftsmanship. Cons: Well the shift key's crapped out after two months. Considering the excellent build of this keyboard I was a little taken aback. Also I have a suspicion this is because some wiring must be jumbled or maybe some crossed circuitry, because when I hold down both the shift key's, then press s, the caps lock turn on... Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
ImpressivePros: This keyboard is incredibly solid. the aluminum finish is amazing, and the scissor 'laptop' style keystroke is my favorite part. I specifically went looking for it when i needed a new keyboard. I love the look and design Cons: The scissor style keystroke is definitely not for everyone is certainly a matter of taste. if not sure if it is for you try typing on a laptop and a traditional desktop keyboard, you will immediately be able to see the difference. Also the key layout is such that the backspace key is only the size of a normal key, and the enter key is larger (see pics for details) this can lead to misstrokes when reaching for backspace but the keys can be remmapped. Other Thoughts: To remmap the keys to your liking just google key mapping software. I have been told that a program called 'sharkykeys' is quite good though i have never needed to remap a keyboard myself 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Re: voltage regulator questionGerry I have no problem paying in advance if I'm already there. For me it's an extra trip and would make the cost about the same as shipping.
Re: voltage regulator questionThomas, I understand now.
I have a suggestion, when I ordered my regulator I noticed on the screen that it could be shipped to my address at no extra charge but I just picked it up at the store since I'm so close. I just called my Autozone and verified this, they can ship to anywhere in Texas free on this item if ordered in Texas. But I'm not sure if this is nationwide. Maybe it applies to your state as well. Gerry
Re: voltage regulator question
Take the cover off and check the air gap. I have successfully resurrected two regulators by correcting the gaps. The specs are in the shop manual. Michael Cummings

Seamus Blake New Release
My good friend Spike Wilner (pianist, owner of Small's in New York and producer of Small's Live Records) has just released his second set of records! In this bunch is a record by THE SEAMUS BLAKE QUINTET - LIVE AT SMALL'S. The quintet features Seamus Blake - Tenor Saxophone, Lage Lund - Guitar, Dave Kikoski - Piano, Matt Chlosey - Bass and Bill Stewart - Drums.
I havent listened to it yet but really how bad can it be? So Im going to go out on a limb and say "ITS BURNING." Other releases of note in this batch are THE JIM ROTONDI QUINTET, THE NEAL SMITH QUINTET, and PLANET JAZZ featuring Spike himself. I bought all of the the first batch of CDs that Spike produced and they are all fantastic. The cool thing is, if you buy the physical CD you also get the download so if you're impatient like me this is a great concept.
