Sun-dazed Barcelona dance-rockers Delorean just got done melting faces at the Pitchfork Music Festival, but they're not finished yet, as the Matablog reports. In the months ahead, the band will play a few shows on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as a stint with Australia's traveling Parklife Festival. Then they'll head off on a fall North American tour with True Panther labelmates Lemonade. We've got all their dates below.
Delorean also have released "Real Love", a track from their BNM'ed album Subiza, as a single, available digitally and as a hand-numbered 12". You can click above to download the original. The single includes remixes from the Field, Tiedye, Deadboy, Pional, Narcisse, and ARP, as well as the radio edit of the song. Below, you can stream the whole thing:

Delorean Expand Summer World Tour, Release New Album as a T-Shirt
By Tom Breihan on April 29, 2010 at 2:50 p.m. EDT
Roads? Where they're going, dreamy Spanish dance-pop crew Delorean don't need... Well, they probably actually do need roads. It's hard to drive a tour van without roads.
In the months ahead, Delorean will play shows in Spain and in North America, making a stop at our own Pitchfork Music Festival in July. And as the Matablog reveals, you'll get a download of their BNM'ed new LP Subiza if you drop 20 bones on the T-shirt in that picture. Details here; dates below.
Also below, watch a video of Delorean performing the Subiza track "Grow" at a castle in Spain, filmed by Yours Truly (via Gorilla vs. Bear).
Listen: Delorean and Blondes Remix John Talabot's "Sunshine"
By Tom Breihan on April 22, 2010 at 3:15 p.m. EDT
Last year, the Barcelona dance producer John Talabot released "Sunshine", a blissed-out track that made it into our Best New Music section. And now, Hivern has released a new disc of "Sunshine" remixes, featuring reworkings by Talabot's Barcelona homeboys Delorean (whose own album Subiza landed in the BNM ranks this morning) and Rising Brooklyn-based production duo Blondes. Hear 'em both right here.
Delorean Sign to True Panther
By Tom Breihan on March 24, 2010 at 3:15 p.m. EDT
Last year, the sungazing Barcelona synthpop band Delorean landed themselves in our Best New Music section on the strength of their lush, gorgeous Ayrton Senna EP. This year, they are following it up with a full-length album called Subiza. Matador sub-label True Panther will release Subiza on June 8.
The band recorded the LP in the Basque town of Subiza, so that's where the title comes from. Barcelona scene homies like John Talabot helped out, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs/TV on the Radio engineer Chris Coady mixed the album. Up above, you can stream or download album opener "Stay Close"; the video for the song can be found below. Below, you'll also find the album's tracklist.
At the moment, the band is on tour in North America, opening for Miike Snow. We've got their touring itinerary as well.

The temperature in Austin dropped into the 40s Thursday night. The True Panther party was held at Cheer Up Charlie's, a dirt parking lot with no indoor space. You know what that meant? A whole lot of hipsters walking around trying to pretend they weren't freezing their asses off. Hey, ladies in cute little sundresses and dudes in cutoff jean shorts! You look hot! I mean... really, really cold.
Delorean Ready New Album
By Tom Breihan on February 5, 2010 at 3:25 p.m. EST
Last year, the Spanish band Delorean released Ayrton Senna, a sweeping, gorgeous EP of sunstruck synthpop, and scored a Best New Music. Next month, they'll follow it up with a full-length album, Subiza. There's no U.S. release date yet, but the band will drop the LP in Europe on March 15.
Talking to Pitchfork last year, frontman Ekhi Lopetegi said that they were recording the album in Spain with the help of Barcelona scene buddies like John Talabot. Yeah Yeah Yeahs/TV on the Radio engineer Chris Coady mixed the album in New York. The band is also planning to release singles with remixes from folks like Tanlines and Tiedeye. That's the cover art above, and we've got the tracklist below.

When I saw Rising Spanish dance-rock band Delorean at this year's CMJ, they took forever to set up, but then slayed a tiny club. Their wide-open, joyous music is meant for festivals, and to prepare for what should be a fruitful summer of outdoor audiences, the group is ready to embark on a U.S. tour this March and April, opening for Miike Snow. They're currently working on a new LP; their excellent Aryton Senna EP is out now. Click on for dates:
Hear Delorean Remix Franz Ferdinand
By Tom Breihan on November 10, 2009 at 3:50 p.m. EST
In its original form, Franz Ferdinand's Tonight track "Live Alone" is a taut, sinewy synthpop jam with an exploding chorus that will sound great when some ad agency inevitably throws it into a TV commercial.
On their remix, Barcelona chillwavers Delorean do away with that chorus, turning the song into a gorgeously woozy Balearic dance track. Sonically, the remix couldn't be much further from the original, but Delorean's reworking is every bit as psychotically catchy.
Stream the track below.

Any respectable slab of sci-fi pop needs a good hook, and "Sunshine," the third collaboration between director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, is almost instantly hummable. It's the year 2057, and a crew of hottie astronauts (including Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rose Byrne, Cliff Curtis, and Michelle Yeoh) are sent to reignite our dying sun with a massive nuclear payload. How exactly the situation got so dire, and why these particular men and women were selected for the voyage that will ostensibly save the human race, are details that matter less than questions such as: how in the hell are they going to complete their ...Read More »
Attempting a more shaded vision of an issue that's all too easy to view in strictly black-and-white terms, Curt Johnson's documentary "Your Mommy Kills Animals" takes an expansive look at the American animal-rights movement, and all the savagery, nobility, and hypocrisy therein. Though told via a rotating gallery of talking heads and overly reliant on obscured images repeated ad nauseam (we see the same decontextualized image of a helpless puppy being smacked in the head at least four times), "Your Mommy Kills Animals," the title of which is ironically lifted from a grotesque PETA comic book intended to scare children witless, makes for a sur...Read More »
"Goya's Ghosts" is half what one expects from Milos Forman. As in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Amadeus," "The People vs. Larry Flynt," and "Man on the Moon," its protagonist is a daring iconoclast who stands intrepid against the uncomprehending conventionalists of his time. But it significant...Read More »
"Time," the thirteenth film by that most disposable of Asian auteurs, Kim Ki-duk, should finally, definitively, expose the filmmaker's patented layering of ambiguities as nothing more than the tawdry covering-up of an empty imagination.

"Tekkonkinkreet" is the tale of two young brothers, one named "Black" and the other "White," and the thematics underlying the Japanese anime by first-time American director Michael Arias couldn't be more plainspoken. A classic, cosmic battle between good and evil playing out within the soul of the older boy, and organized around the cyclical nature of the seasons, the film displays a dark heart and carries a disturbing emotional force. You would never find anything like it in American animation - of which it's impossible to conceive of anything beyond the G- or PG-rated, animal-anthropomorphizing blockbuster. It's too bad, because films such...Read More »
The latest incoming shipment in the modest import business of innocuously predictable French screen farces, Patrice Leconte's "My Best Friend" caters to that conservative audience who seek shelter under the implicit sophistication of subtitle, and who are still not acclimated to the blithe transgression that's become the standard in American screen comedy. But Leconte's inconsequential distraction is another sort of offense, displaying a total dearth of invention, relying only on its air of toothless benevolence. If you take your comedy seriously, the stateside arrival of "My Best Friend" is news every bit as devastating as the eleventh-hour ...Read More »

There's an ever more prevalent, if still marginalized, subgenre in international films today that is difficult to classify. In such films as Larry Clark's "Bully" and Gael Morel's "Le Clan" (released here as "Three Dancing Slaves"), groups of teenagers descend into violent oblivion while the filmmakers dispassionately, purposely objectify their supple flesh. The gap between the actions of the characters and the voyeurism of the filmmakers makes for an awkward, sometimes stimulating dialogue, even if it also leaves the actors somewhat adrift. The recurring image of these films are young, lithe bodies, supine, entangled: in "Le Clan," three eye...Read More »

Some years ago I was assisting a young daughter-in-law to trace her Renouf roots. She was a granddaughter of Fredaline Annie Renouf born 7 Dec 1888 in St. Helier, Jersey, CI. She was a daughter of Joseph b. 5 Oct 1865 same place (m. Elizabeth Clementine La Jeune), who was a son of Phillipe b. 1825 who married Lucy La Sueur. These I found on census. Joseph and wife emigrated to Canada where they lived with their children listed a s Fredaline, Christine, Clifford and Robert. These parents died in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Fredaline somehow met and married a U.S. citizen, George Basil Lindsey, and raised their family in Washington state of the U.S.
In her search to know more about her Channel Island ancestors, my d-i-l ordered a book from the public library system of Santa Barbara County on the history of the C.I.
It was not a large book. I had always told her I had a recurring strong impression that she had Norwegian blood line. She thought not believing she was entirely English.
We read the book with interest learning that the original C.I. peoples were small, dark and ugly which did not match with her tallness, very fair skin with blue eyes and attractive features. I continued in my belief.
As we read further, there began to to be references to the Renouf family which the author claimed was well documented in the C.I. with a genealogical hisoty that went back WELL BEFORE William the Conqueror. We know that the Battle of Hastings was 1066 which began Norman rule. The Normans were, of course, originally Scandinavian vikings.
The author stated that the family name was originally RENWULF and were Norwegian pirates who must have found reason to stay in the C.I. WULF is the Norwegian name for WOLF. Sometime during the French speaking occupation of the Normans the name became Renouf. NOUF is the French word for WOLF. I do not yet know what REN might mean in Norwegian a millenium ago to describe wolf.
So apparently the Renoufs became an upstanding Christian family through the centuries living in the C.I. most probably populating a number of the islands. They had a thousand years to do it.
We are hoping to find the ancestry of Phillipe, if anyone has that information.

How good of you and your sister--and how mature of you--to be there for your dad, even though he wasn't that much there for you. Everyone doesn't grow up at the same time but give him time and he probably will.
How good of you and your sister--and how mature of you--to be there for your dad, even though he wasn't that much there for you. Everyone doesn't grow up at the same time but give him time and he probably will.
But does your little sister replace your brother, or does she just shift some of the love you felt for him to her? It's a funny thing about love: the more you give, the more love you have in yoour heart and the more you can give.
A child wants attention from his parents more than anything else--and if he gets more attention by begging for it, then guess what? He'll beg and then beg some more. Instead, give him lots of attention when he's not begging for it, and compliment him for being so grown-up. Also, get a sitter for the younger child for even a half-hour a day or a week, as your special time to go out with your older son.
It isn't easy for a 2-year-old to go back and forth between diapers and underwear especially when he's sleepy. Just put him in underwear round the clock, move his potty chair next to his crib so he won't have to move so far and so fast and be prepared for a few accidents for the next few weeks. That's life . . .
Understanding is the name of the game, especially when it comes to living in a family. If we wait three days before we mail a snarky letter, we usually don't mail it and if we hold our tongue when we want to explode we usually temper what we would have said. You can't have a good relationship, anywhere, if you aren't understanding and if you don't have good manners too. It's hard to remember, but all of us should live by a simple maxim—we can be as rude as we want to our boss—and take whatever consequences he gives us—but we must never be rude to our spouses, our parents or our children and especially to anyone who works for us.
I'd give her a special sleep-buddy--some soft stuffed animal--and tell her that he will put her back to sleep if she wakes up and holds him tight. And if she cries--as children often do as they drift from one sleep stage to another every 2-3 hours--then go to her and watch her but don't say or do anything until she has given 2-3 sqawks. Children often do that, then fall asleep againl.
I don't know of any but there is bound to be one or more in this area. Why not call the autism groups and ask them where to find some support groups for siblings of autistic children in your area. (And then will you let me know?)
It's on my bedside table, both because it's a great subject and because I think the story is written by Hannah Rosen and I like to read everything she writes.
I do think we have gone too far with our watchfulness and especially with the frequency of our "Watch outs!" and "Be carefuls"! Children have the right to try--and the right to fail. The more we interfere with them, or we rush in and pick up the pieces or fuss at the teacher for giving our child the bad mark that he deserved, the more we are subliminally telling the child that he is not capable of taking care of himself. His inference is bound to be: I'm a loser. And that's a lousy message to give to a child.
Trying to keep this short My husband has always had an easy and close relationship to our oldest, a daughter, and a harder time bonding with our middle child, a son. Some of this has to do with my husband's deployment when our son was 18 months old, old enough to know he was gone, but not old enough to connect with him over the distance like our oldest could. Now husband realizes the problem and has worked hard to connect with our son (who is now 6) and their relationship has gotten a whole lot better. The problem is that our oldest (now 9) is really jealous of the new closeness between he father and her brother and whines and complains any time they have father/son time (she still gets father/daughter time). With a new baby around now, too, she is seems to be getting more and more jealous of both siblings. We want to help her through the changes and make sure she understands that they don't have to ruin her bond with her dad. How do we approach that conversation.
It isn't just father-daughter time that your 9-year-old needs, it's also a special area of interest that no one else shares with him--not you, not the younger children--and preferably away from the house. It might be fishing or hiking; building a piece of furniture, like a bookcase, or anything that will involve endless one-on-one discussions about all the ramifications that are involved in any of these subjects.
We are having some technical problems and are trying to retrieve the answers.

Chrome 21 Stable Release Brings Camera APIs And Retina Support
Chrome 21 was released for the stable channel a few days back, and there are three noteworthy additions to the otherwise uneventful launch of the new version. Specifically; Chrome 21 has Retina support for the new line of MacBooks, it allows HTML5 apps to use the getUserMedia JavaScript API and connect with your webcam, and finally, it adds support for the Gamepad API. For now, this is good news for developers. Users will be able to benefit from this in the long run when there is better support in the form of online games and web apps. The Retina support is what users will get to see first hand immediately, and while it isn't a feature (so to speak), it nevertheless means something for Mac users. Read More

Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Following the manufacturer's recommendations is inadequate for cleaning suction tips, with residual debris identified after cleaning, according to a study published in the August issue of the AORN Journal.
To determine the efficacy of automated instrument reprocessing and identify a process that would produce a verifiably clean instrument after cleaning, Jahan Azizi, from the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, and colleagues tested the manufacturer's recommended cleaning methods for surgical instruments. The authors tested suction tips, which are used in most surgical procedures, are exposed to high levels of organic debris, and are difficult to clean. A variety of processes and products were used to identify the best cleaning practices.
The researchers found that, after cleaning, debris was found in places where it should not be, and that the manufacturer's recommended cleaning methods were inadequate.
"As instruments become more complex, cleaning processes necessarily become more complex as well. Determining the best means of cleaning instruments is vital to ensuring patient safety," the authors write. "This project revealed that often the instruments are not thoroughly cleaned even though personnel follow manufacturer instructions, but the solution to this problem, as well as its significance, requires additional investigation."

Match pricing on products are done by quite a few sellers; unfortunately, it is not advisable to employ price matching at shops as the regular strategy due to the numerous concerns that might result from this. Additionally, many merchants will likely not agree on applying it over a limited-quantity item or within a limited time special. Because this site is truly a reliable affiliate partner of ebay, each and every product you'll see on this site possesses a corresponding link which will help you get towards the ebay site. Several major software merchants develop "Academic" versions of software that you can get at bargain prices. If perhaps you're a student or an employee in an educational establishment, then you may be able to get these Academic editions of software at bargain prices, as long as you have a Student ID along with you when you purchase some.

Working in retirement
It's tough out there for retirees, said Rodney Brooks in USA Today. Between 60 and 80 percent of pre-retirees say they expect to work in their golden years, but "only a small percentage of people who plan to work in retirement are actually able to do it." What makes finding work in your twilight years so hard? Health issues and age discrimination. Job-seeking retirees have to play to their strengths and think ahead. "If possible, stay in your current job, even if it's in a reduced capacity." Consider whether you can turn any skills or hobbies into a business. And prepare to take a pay cut — older workers who make big career changes typically face major reductions in earnings.
Broaching sensitive topics
If you're thinking about asking your boss for a raise or raising another touchy topic, "stick to the facts," said Anne Fisher at Fortune. Research salary data to determine your market rate, and be ready to give solid reasons for why you deserve more. If your latest performance review was lackluster, ask for more feedback. "Don't stew in silence," because a less-than-stellar job review "could unfairly block you from bigger career opportunities down the road." If you disagree with your boss' strategy or have a better idea, speak up — but only "if your corporate culture encourages debate and consensus." Otherwise, it's better to keep your mouth shut. In most cases, the old adage holds: "It's not so much what you say as how you say it."
College cost myths
Let's dispel a few misconceptions about college costs, said Penelope Wang in Money. You may think saving for college will hurt your chances of getting financial aid, but "under the federal financial aid formula, what matters most is your income." Private schools may give more weight to assets, but odds are your aid "would be in the form of loans, not grants, so you're still better off saving." You should also ignore "the eye-popping sticker prices at private schools." Private colleges often discount tuition by awarding merit aid to good students. And don't assume a liberal arts degree will be worthless. While business and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) majors tend to earn higher salaries, that's not a hard-and-fast rule. The top quarter of history majors have a higher -median lifetime salary than that of all those who studied computer programming.

A Closer Look At Bioengineered Alternative Tissues
The medical management of wounds today is vastly different than wound management was a few years ago. Evidence-based research has provided the practitioner with new technologies that can predictably heal wounds that previously would have threatened limb loss.
The team approach to complex wound management has been widely embraced and many communities now have referral centers and hospital-based teams that provide multidisciplinary care. With an estimated 20.8 million people in the United States now affected by diabetes and a 15 percent lifetime incidence of foot ulceration in those diagnosed with diabetes, the public health impact of wound care is rapidly making its way into the spotlight. One can properly assume these concerns have a significant impact on the projection that Medicare is expected to be insolvent by the year 2018.
Recent advances in bioengineering have expanded the wound care treatment armamentarium with products that can stimulate healing where there was once a chronic or problem wound. However, the complexity and sheer number of bioengineered products now available for wounds has led to some confusion and hesitancy on the part of many physicians who contemplate their use. Clearly, there is no one perfect bioengineered product for all wounds. Accordingly, let us take a closer look at the current leading biotechnologies that clinicians may utilize for lower extremity wounds.
Redefining 'Skin Substitutes' With New Terminology
A key point of confusion in the arena of new wound technologies begins with the labeling and terminology used to describe these products. Some terms that are commonly used include "bioengineered skin," "bioengineered skin substitutes," "biological skin substitutes," "tissue-engineered skin" and "bioengineered skin equivalents."1-9 The term "skin" generally does not apply because many of these products have no dermal or epidermal components. The term "equivalent" is especially erroneous because these products are not equivalent to skin and should not be used in such a manner.
The inconsistent, intermingled and sometimes arbitrary use of these terms has led to some difficulty. We believe these terms do not fully or accurately describe these products, and the role they play in wound closure.
Therefore, we propose a new term that more appropriately describes this group of products: "bioengineered alternative tissue" (BAT). We use the term "bioengineered" because these products have been produced artificially or modified in some way that alters the biology and its interaction with the wound bed. In many cases, bioengineered products are processed in such a way and infused with ingredients to optimize their ability to stimulate a positive wound healing wound environment when one places them into the clinical site. "Alternative" better delineates the difference between an autologous skin graft and the manufactured/engineered biologic products. We believe the term BAT more accurately encompasses and describes these wound care products, and would help direct their use in the correct types of wounds.
The overall goal in using any of these products is the central concept of converting a chronic wound into an acute wound (also see "Key Fundamentals For Successful Outcomes With BAT Products" at left). A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal or is retarded in healing and generally populated with senescent cells. Most often, one would determine whether a wound has become chronic through the clinical assessment of wound quality and through serial wound measurements. Some published criteria cite that a wound should have a 10 to 15 percent decrease in area each week or have a greater than 50 percent decrease over the period of one month.10

New owners for Happy Harbor in Deale; La Bella Italia spices up Friendship
Restaurants come and go, reinvent themselves and get make-overs. Change is ongoing, which keeps us on our toes and piques our foodie interest.
The end of February saw the changing of the guard at the classic Deale roadhouse The Happy Harbor. Recent owner Shelley Daniels sold the business to Rochester, NY, native Tony Hite.
Hite has a resume that includes owning bowling centers and operating several regional restaurants. More the behind-the-scenes owner, Hite has hired Deale resident and experienced restaurant manager Jason Bocchi to run the house. Hite says he is well aware of local resistance to change and plans to keep the Harbor's flavor. Change will come slowly, starting with cosmetic enhancements and, once the weather warms up, the resurrection of the tiki bar.
"Our customers feel like this is their place," Hite says. "We're happy that people have embraced us. Keeping them happy is our priority."
Just south of Deale in Friendship, the long-vacant Fabulous Brew is finally getting new life. La Bella Italia is expanding from Annapolis and Arnold with hand-tossed pizza and classic Italian dishes. Dine-in or take out, their menu is ample and family-friendly. Look for La Bella Italia Friendship to open within the next two months.
Congratulations to our four lucky winners of Bay Weekly's Annapolis Restaurant Week promotion. Debi Marsh won a $50 gift card to Federal House, Natalie Fluharty a $50 gift card to Reynolds Tavern, Matt Goldberg a $50 gift card to Café Normandie and Linda Deluca the $50 gift card to Lemongrass.

CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/12 --
Company News
SpringCM®, the leader in Content Cloud Services for the enterprise, announced today that Ben Kiker has been named chief marketing officer of the company, reporting to CEO Christopher Junker.
Most recently, Ben was the chief marketing officer at Jive Software, the company that launched the first social business platform for the enterprise. Before joining Jive, Ben was the chief marketing officer at Interwoven, where he guided Interwoven's global marketing strategy and repositioned the company as a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions. Ben began his career in Silicon Valley with Aspect Communications and over the last two decades he has worked for many of the valley's best, including Siebel Systems, Clarify and Octel.
The Time is Now for Content Cloud Services
Enterprises are rapidly shifting from storing and sharing content in the cloud to putting content to work to accelerate business outcomes. To do so they need Content Cloud Services that align content, people and processes with cutting-edge mobile apps, content synchronization, workflow, enterprise-class security and a powerful user experience. SpringCM enables businesses to move beyond legacy, on-premise ECM systems and the limitations of consumer-class cloud storage systems, such as Dropbox and Box. SpringCM customers include Cricket, Entegris, Facebook, Genentech, Google and the State of Virginia.
The Time is Now for SpringCM
"I am thrilled to once again team with Ben to create something special," said Christopher Junker, CEO of SpringCM. "We are well positioned to take advantage of the massive opportunity for delivering Content Cloud Services to the enterprise. Our customers are the first to tell you that our applications deliver Clearly More for business: Clearly More than cloud storage, file sharing, and legacy ECM. The time is now for SpringCM to scale marketing and sales, and I look forward to working with Ben to make that happen."
"I've been fortunate to help create three categories that became 'must have' for the enterprise and be a part of organizations that have achieved a market valuation greater than $1 billion," said Ben Kiker. "Content Cloud Services will be the next big enterprise category, and SpringCM will be the next big company. On a personal level I'm excited to once again work with Chris and a number of former Interwoven team members. They've done an incredible job building a great product customers love. Now, it's my turn to tell the world what we have and why Content Matters."
Why Content Matters
Content is the enterprise's single, greatest business lever and its least exploited asset. When a business successfully puts content to work, it fuels competitive advantage and drives bigger outcomes. However, when business teams can't find content, when content isn't current, when team members can't surface the right content for the call or the task at hand, it's not just an annoyance -- it's disruptive to the business. It increases costs, stalls revenue, and frustrates customers and employees. Companies that have a sense of urgency around increasing business agility, maximizing talent, or creating competitive differentiation are making significant investments in content today. They understand the critical role content plays at every level of the enterprise -- inside and outside the business.
About SpringCM
SpringCM is the leader in Content Cloud Services for the enterprise. Enterprises need to do more than store and share content -- they need to put content to work to accelerate business outcomes. SpringCM helps global brands and public sector agencies -- Google, Facebook and the State of Virginia, among others -- solve content-related problems that stand in the way of optimizing revenues, cutting costs, and mitigating risk.

DEFINITION of 'Land'
Property or real estate, not including buildings or equipment, that does not occur naturally. Depending on the title, land ownership may also give the holder the rights to all natural resources on the land. These may include water, plants, human and animal life, fossils, soil, minerals, electromagnetic features, geographical location, and geophysical occurrences.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Land'
In the traditional school of economics, land is considered a factor of production, along with labor and capital.
Selling land results in a capital gain or loss. As opposed to almost any other asset, land is not a depreciable asset under IRS tax laws. Land ownership does not contain or include any permissions to develop the property, as opposed to a 'plot', which is a real property that is slated for development.

Review by: Joseph Proimakis
Rating: 6 out of 10
[Editor's note: Special thanks to Joseph Proimakis of Movies for the Masses for the following review]
Starting off with an impressive opening sequence, Evil in the Time of Heroes will catch Greek speakers off guard by employing Ancient Greek dialogue, but then again, the film's greatest catch, is the premise that the Evil that spread over modern day Athens three days ago (or 5 years ago, in the viewers' timeline, when the original film wowed local audiences and critics alike) had its roots in ancient times and made its first appearance 2,800 years ago.
Hopes of well-tanned hunks prancing around in sandals, capes and underwear chopping undead heads off of undead bodies, are quickly put to rest, though, as the ancient-time version of the story proves to be an under-used subplot, that only comes to surface in time to remind you that there's a better story there, than the modern-day one spreading on-screen.
Survivors of the first movie, meet up with another gang, bunkered up and trying to survive the plague, while plot and exposition take a sideline from there, as the triplet of film-makers has fun with the all sorts of new toys their much bigger budget has brought along.
The poorly developed story could have used a couple more weeks of editing and trimming and highlighting its stronger moments, while a duel on a terrace makes it painfully clear that not much time was spent on sound mixing, but that's what happens when you step up and try to play with the big boys, setting block-buster time limitations on your neck.
The film-making trio, however, bounteously hands out squirts and bangs, and cuts and slashes, guts and blood by the gallon and all else expected of a zombie-flick, as well as gags, jokes and humorous moments of various sorts, from the random genre joke the outright toilet-humor shtick, while their ballsy attitude and moments of breathtaking directorial inspirations (Billy Zane's zombie-mashing centerpiece scene being one of them), underline the fact that there's a better movie inside the one making it to screen, and it wouldn't take much more to bring it out, than the man with the editing equipment and a little more time to use it.

Was the hardware used to build the image being deployed by DeployStudio a 27" iMac? If the answer is No that would be the reason.
"Has something changed in these latest macs?"
Yes. Graphics chipset for one plus the processor itself as well as a few other components that will probably be different to the hardware used to build the image you already have. You can't assume a single image for a iMac will install let alone boot all other mac models including older or newer model iMacs. For example if you used a 2.66 Ghz 20" iMac that originally came with 10.5.6 to build your image it won't boot or install on a MacMini, MacPro, MacBook, MacBook Pro or the latest 20" 2Ghz iMacs. You can use an image built from a 2.66Ghz 20" iMac and install it on a comparable 24" Model that was available at that time.
Hope this helps?

What product would you buy an Italian foodie from Italy?
This is my first time writing on chowhound.
Firstly, I would like to thank the board at large for having answered so many of my questions over the past year. I don't want to single anyone out in particular, but there are some real genuine foodies on here who are astoundingly generous with their knowledge and time. Any time I have a query about food in Montreal, I check chowhound, and I inevitably get my answer in seconds from reading earlier threads. So much terrain has been covered, it is quite remarkable really.
That being said, I have a question that I have not found a completely satisfactory answer to based on web research. I do not think there is a past chowhound thread that answers it either, as it is quite specific. If I've missed something please let me know.
Here is my question: What Mtl/Quebec/Canadian product would you buy an Italian foodie from Italy? Besides ice wine, smoked salmon, maple syrup, and gooseberry jam, is there anything else you would highly recommend? It has to make it overseas. It doesn't have to be a speciality item either, but maybe a versatile food item that is not readily found in Italy. It could be any number of things, big or small, as I will most likely create a basket. It will be given as a BIG thank you gift.
This foodie cooks, and is the type that will drive an hour to buy specific bread from a specific bakery.
re: ScoobySnacks20
Chocolate covered blueberries from the Trappist Monks (but I think it's a highly seasonal product).
re: Maximilien
I think the wild blueberry season is just around the corner (mid to end of July), so I just may get lucky with my timing. Thank you for the suggestion. And I think ice cider over ice wine. Scooby Snacks I just read a past thread that you participated in dealing with my food gift issue. Thanks!
Another 2 items that came out of that discussion were: Perron aged port-aged cheddar and cuban cigars!
re: EaterBob
I will definitely be visiting Quebec Smoked Meat, I just read all about it. Great suggestion - thanks! I also happen work nearby, so i am very excited about the new discovery.
I brought a Catalonian some Sortilege. While it's not the best whiskey, it does have a unique charm and imparts a strong maple flavour. As for bringing a can of maple syrup, many southern europeans wouldn't know what to do with the stuff.
Some Labrador tea would also be nice as well as some smoked game meat. There is a Nunavut tea company that markets foraged teas. I've seen it at various health food stores, including the one across from snowdon metro.
Another good idea would be an assortment of wild canadian mushrooms
re: catroast
I think the Nunavet tea company (more tea project initiative) you may be referring to is called Northern Lights. Just checked it out. If so, their products are widely available in Montreal at the following retail outlets: http://www.deliceboreal.com/en/herbal...
I am an avid tea drinker, and so I will check this out for sure. Thanks!
As for my gift basket, I think the whiskey and mushrooms would really be nice additions.
re: neetzer
Marco Spruce Beer !
re: catroast
I am not a beer drinker myself, and I am not sure about including an item I cannot vouch for personally. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to include a bottle though. I am certainly broadening my initial scope with the many suggestions here.
re: neetzer
It's soda, not beer. And the spruce beer at Paul's Patates is much better.
re: neetzer
Spruce beer doesn't have alcohol (about the same level as root beer :)
re: neetzer
From that company, the cloudberry tea is my favourite but there is also a variety pack available. I have found it for sale at Gourmet Laurier.
re: heliotrope
Thank you for the tip heliotrope!
re: catroast
Catroast, where would you suggest buying smoke game meat?
re: sophie.brunet
Yes, a good idea! Wild rice is a common thing I bring with me overseas for gifts, along with dried cranberries (also very Canadian). I have a recipe that uses the two together, so that they know what to do with it. Both easily available in grocery stores. For fancier more local cranberries, try these: http://en.nutra-fruit.com/
re: heliotrope
I looked into the wild rice and I hadn't realize how exclusively Canadian it is, with the exception of Minnesota (USA). This is a super idea! Any idea where I could pick up the authentic Candadian stuff, as opposed to the so-called wild rice that comes from China that is no where near the same thing.
re: heliotrope
Heliotrope, I am thinking of including cranberries and pecans in the basket as well. Here is a nice salad from a very trusty blog that includes all 3 items: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/...
re: neetzer
Yeah, I didn't know about wild rice being a real Canadian thing until I started going overseas and wanting to bring Canadian foody things as gifts. It's also great, along with the dried cranberries, because it packs well - won't break.
You asked about where to pick up authentic Canadian wild rice. I actually have never seen anything BUT, so I don't think you should have any difficulty. The brands I usually find are called "Canoe" or "Oh Canada" (which can come in a cute bag). I haven't grabbed some in a while, so I don't want to lead you astray as to any particular store in Montreal. I usually just get it at a grocery store, but probably you'll find it at Marché des saveurs if you're going there for the other things, or somewhere else at the market there. If I'm around any stores and spot it, I'll report back to tell you. But usually I have no problem getting it at a regular grocery store.
Marché des saveurs also has sold the Maple sugar mentioned by Plateaumaman below. I like the one packaged in a handy shaker bottle so that you can sprinkle it on buttered toast. It's also plastic - easy to pack.
Thanks for the recipe link, will have to try! Seems like this recipe is lighter, so it would work well for this hot summer weather. My usual recipe uses only wild rice (not a mix of varieties), so it packs a punch. And it's not a salad, but served hot so it would probably be heavier, and it goes really well with stronger meats.
Actually, it is a super simple recipe I started making when I was a young teenager. I just tried to find out if it might be available online - it got passed onto a computer from a cookbook ages ago. I am in luck! Here is a link: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/c...
re: heliotrope
Everytime I bought what seemed or was called wild rice, it did not come out looking or tasting like the stuff I had tried in restaurants - very long, aldente spikes that keep their form (they don't split and become mushy). I was perplexed about this and always assumed I didn't cook them properly. I just learned that I had never bought the authentic Canadian stuff, which is supposed to be quite pricey. You may be right about it being available in most grocery stores, and I just never bothered to pay attention to where it was made. But there are defintely 2 versions around - one great-tasting and the other gruelish.
Granulated maple sugar (I like the one that comes in a grinder, check that it is made from 100% pure maple sugar)
Maple butter (my parents finished a jar of this in less than a week - again, check that it is 100% pure maple syrup)
Cans of feves au lard (could buy a couple of different versions in the small cans)
Spices mixes that are specific to Montreal/Quebec eg Montreal steak spice mix, poutine gravy mix, spices mix for tourtiere etc
Homestyle fruit ketchup
+1 on the Sortilege! There is also a blueberry liquer from the same producer I think, that might be nice.
With some of these things, it might be nice to print out or pre-source some recipes to accompany the basket (eg for sugar pie, tourtiere etc)
re: unlaced
Do you know where I could pick up an authentic Tourtiere mix? I have never seen one. That could be interesting along with a recipe and a fruit ketchup.
re: neetzer
I have seen them in supermarkets here, but I have never purchased one. Maybe someone else can comment if they have a favourite version?
re: neetzer
Épices de Cru (Olives & Épices at Marché Jean-Talon) have one : http://www.epicesdecru.com/en/store.v...
And other interesting regional mixes :
re: neetzer
I'm from "tourtière land" (Lac-Saint-Jean) and never heard of a tourtière mix. So I'm guessing this is a Montreal creation. Very odd. Would need to try it and see.
Sortilège is a great idea =)
re: Werzoth
I decided not to get the mix as I wanted something more versatile. I went with mixes for game meat instead. Tourtiere mix is nothing more than a blend of spices that commonly go into a Tourtiere aimed at curious tourists or unadventurous home cooks I'm sure - it's not very exciting or inventive, it is just meant to capture the essence of tradition. They even have a pizza mix for heaven's sake - now that says it all!
re: Werzoth
I cooked a simple beef stew on Friday (Marcella Hazan recipe) and I tested the Kamouraska spice from Epices de Cru, which is supposed to be a traditional Quebec blend, and it was very tasty - a very interesting and legit-tasting blend!
I purchased a Farmed Game Spice Blend to give as a gift, and it has a much more complex ingredient profile, including Labrador tea leaves. Should be very nice.
I regret not taking a closer look at the Tourtiere mix, I kind of passed it off as gimmicky.
If you ever try it, please let us know what you think. And if ever I attempt to make Tourtiere, I will certainly try it and report back.
re: catroast
ooh I like that idea! Try and get a jar of Preservation Society's apple butter - it is fantastic!
re: unlaced
where is that sold?
re: catroast
Here is her list of stockists. Not sure if the apple butter will be available at all, would be better to call and check. I just cracked open a jar last night and it is already half gone!
re: unlaced
I just sent them an email in regards to the apple butter. I will report back with their answer. Maybe it is a discontinued product and they will provide the recipe instead!! Thank you for your awesome suggestions!
re: neetzer
I am happy to report that apple butter is available for purchasing. Vieux Velo in Little Italy carries it exclusively. http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/67/159910...
Very helpful suggestion guys! I will be at JTM tomorrow, and can definitely swing by to pick some up. Italians (the ones I know at least) like their breakfasts simple with a little biscuit/cracker/toast with jam and coffee. Apple butter will be a welcome deviation I'm sure! Grazie mille!
re: neetzer
I went to Preservation Society today. Definitely worth visiting first if you are interested in jams in general. Camilla had a bunch of different stuff on hand. I bought an apricot/honey/camomille jam (newest product) and a jam called Fall Sweater (last jar) with apples/pears/pumpkin beer among the ingredients. As for the apple butter, it really isn't buttery at all nor does it contain any, it is more of a really thick apple sauce - a bit of a misnomer really.
re: neetzer
The line of products for retail is more "simple" (the other products are for restaurants). They have an amazing churned honey from Gaspésie, a sunflower oil, an apple vinegar and a wild flowers "tea" from la Matapédia.
re: neetzer
No problem! If you go to the Marché des saveurs, look for Simon Turcotte jams too. They're the best jams made in Québec. The blueberry/maple one would make a good gift. http://www.confiture.ca/produits/peti...
re: Jaetee
The person recieving the basket has limited English skills, therefore a cookbook is not an option. I could translate a recipe, but an entire cookbook, holy crap... thankfully I'm not that indebted!
Just thought of another idea... the products from Au Verger du Clocher : http://www.auvergerduclocher.com/
La carminée is a really interesting and unique product that should please a curious foodie who loves to cook.
I would really like to thank all of you for your suggestions. MTL Hounds - UR the BEST!!!
I really have to spend more time on here. I learned oodles of stuff in just one day.
I took everything into account and synthesized it all into a final coherent theme: wild/hunter-style basket. It will contain smoked salmon and game meat, game-meat spice blends, Canadian wild rice, dried lobster mushrooms (not found in Europe), blueberry/maple jam, apple butter, Quebec-style jardiniere (with fiddleheads), spruce beer and chocolate-coated wild bluberries if I can get them. I will forgo the whiskey and tea because I don't think he drinks either. I have 3 weeks until departure, so if anyone thinks of anything else, surely let me know.
re: neetzer
I brought maple sugar to some foodie friends in Indonesia and they had a lot of fun researching it and coming up with some recipes for it. Montreal steak spice is a classic too, very good for grilling meat. Chocolate covered blueberries don't travel that well in my experience. Friends in France always ask me to bring nut butters, not peanut, but some of the others they sell at Rachelle Bery and Tau, like Cashew or Hazelnut. There must be a good cheese or two that would travel well?
re: Plateaumaman
I had wondered about nut butters. I don't think that Europeans have many options for dressing a piece of morning toast. I'm not sure about this, but I don't think they have exciting jams either, which is why I thought the apple butter (which is more of an apple jam really) and wild blueberry/maple jam would be nice. A nut butter would certainly be a complementary addition. Thank you for confirming this for me!
re: neetzer
I know the Dutch have some very good apple syrups they put on their toast in the morning, and they might be the only Europeans that enjoy a bit of peanut butter now and then. Maple butter is wonderful on toast too. Depending on how you are transporting your surprises, some bagels might be a fun idea? You could also always go to Au Pied du Cochon and buy Duck in a Can. That would impress the foodie in me!
re: Father Kitchen
Artisanal cheeses is one thing Quebec is surely known for and our cheeses often win top honors at Canadian and even North American competitions I do believe. I think we are best known for our cheddars. Look for past threads on this, as there are plenty and I am no expert.
Shipping may cost an arm and a leg (and if there's a way to insure it in some way or make sure it does get to its destination, get it... the Italian post has a bad rep)... but my suggestion, if you can send off booze, is a bottle of Ungava Gin, which is made in Quebec using northern wild crafted aromatics.
re: TheSnowpea
Thank you Snowpea! I will be flying to Italy, so I am not intending to ship anything via post. I am not including any hard stuff for 2 reasons: 1) I am uncertain whether the person recieving the basket enjoys it, I think he is all about wine 2) I don't know if it would be that appreciated seeing as at least some hard stuff (eg: brandy) is dirt-cheap in Italy. But I will certainly keep the gin and whiskey (as others have mentionned) idea in mind for future gift-giving, as I do know of others that would certainly appreciate it.
I just got back from a 3-week trip to Italy and I had the hardest time explaining how I use cranberries when I cook since they don't have them. I find them pretty versatile too - make it into sauces, bake with cheese etc. - that I suggest you consider adding them to the basket.

Azusa Restaurants
- katkoupai Apr 18, 2008 09:06 AM
I'm looking for restaurant recommendations in Azusa. I've found recs for Petrillo's Pizza. Is there anything else that's good there? Any style of food is fine, preferably under $15 per person. Thank you. :-)
You can try Citrus Grill in nearby Covina. Nothing fancy, but the food is decent and fits your price range.
Another possibility is Off Citrus, also in Covina. Good sweet potatoe fries and they often have some nice fresh fish selections.
Citrus Grill
223 N. Citrus Ave.
Covina, CA 91723
Off Citrus
114 E Italia St
Covina, CA 91723
re: ipsedixit
I'm pretty sure Citrus Grill is closed. There is a Mexican Restaurant in its former location, and the number listed is no longer in service. I don't know the name of the restaurant that took its place, but I don't recommend it. It wasn't that great when I tried it a couple of months ago.
For Mexican: Rancho Los Maguelles - family run, friendly place - decent food. Sometimes hit or miss - but good margaritas and standard Mexican fare. The best I've found in Azusa.
For B'fast: I like Flappy's (great b'fast crepes (weekdays only) and eggs benedict) - they also have lunch but I always get b'fast.
For Pizza: as you've found - head to Petrillo's (get the speciality pizza - yum!)
All are in your price range...
Rancho Los Maguelles
248 W Foothill Blvd, Azusa 626.334.9695
Flappy Jack's Pancake House Restaurant
640 West Route 66, Glendora 626.852.9444
Petrillo's Pizza
750 West Route 66, Glendora 626.335.1289
Check out El Gallo Pinto for something different. They are a very good Nicaraguan restaurant with a few Mexican dishes on their menu:
re: blackbookali
I think San Gabriel Valley is all 626. But that is a good site for finding places in the SGV.
re: Velvet Elvis
sangabrielvalleymenus.com is a good site to locate restaurants; don't bother with what it labels as "restaurant reviews" ... you're better off watching commercials.
How about Townsend in Covina for Chinese. Northwoods Inn at least for their cheese toast (also in Covina)
My girlfriend who went to APU suggests Balzac Cafe, and Nana's for ice cream. Looks like Balzac is 722 N. Azusa Ave.
Nana's Ice Creamery
505 N Azusa Ave, Azusa, CA 91702
Thank you all for the great suggestions. I'll post again when I try any of these places. :-)
I work in Azusa so I eat there often for lunch. The best is Canyon City BBQ, great food, open wed-sun, Rancho Los Maguyese is good too, especially their soups and margartias, I prefer La Tolteca for chips and chile rellenos, Dino's chicken gets great marks here on the chow boards, but I thinks its just ok. Il Forno is a newr italian place in the downtown, its hit and miss. BTW Balzac cafe closed a least 2 years ago, there is a nasty shushi place that took it location, Arigato.

Second canyon city bbq.
I've never been there but a branch of Dino's Chicken that people on this board rave about is in Azusa. Here's a review from one of the members:
re: cant talk...eating
Well, if you like chicken, Juan Pollo, just off Azusa Ave & Covina Ave in Covina is great Mexican chicken. It is counter serve, so fast food, but I'd eat there over Marie's most days of the week.
The is also The Hat, also fast food, but I love their pastrami sandwiches and onion rings.
I've only done breakfast at Flappy Jack's Pancake House Restaurant, but they have been good.
And if you like Italian, Tulipano Italian Restaurant does a nice job.
