A trip to Mark Knopfler's sunburst Schecter Strat
Posted in: Guitars,Mark Knopfler gear by Ingo on June 05, 2012
The good thing about running a website about Mark Knopfler and his guitar sound and style is that you get in touch with so many other people who share your interest. I guess everyone who is really interested in this topic sooner or later finds his way to this site. So it happened that one day a customer who bought two of my iSounds in my online shop told me that he owns quite a lot of guitars, one of them being the Schecter S8001 – that sunburst Dream Machine Strat that probably everyone of us knows from his teens on, the guitar used in e.g. the Alchemy video on songs like Tunnel of Love or Telegraph Road. The guitar was auctioned at Eric Clapton's Crossroads charity for more than 50,000 USD in 2004 (Note: The owner now – let's call him O. for owner – is not the person who won the charity but got the guitar later from him).
As O. lives only a couple of hours by car from my place, the idea to visit him came up automatically.
So it happened that I went on a short trip to his place a few weeks ago. O. is a huge MK fan and a guitar collector. I can tell you his collection is beyond being amazing :), including lots of vintage Fenders, Gibsons, and Schecters, also many amps, and much more.
Playing the Alchemy Schecter
I guess you can easily imagine that the moment when O. opened the guitar case was very special for me. The guitar still looks as it did when we saw it the last time, on the pictures for the Crossroads auction in 2004, and thus pretty much as it looked in 1986 when we saw it on stage the last time. The condition is great, not much worn after being played on so many Dire Straits concerts, with exception of the gold plating on the pickguard. This is a problem of all the golden vintage Schecter pickguards. Applying a gold plating to something as big as a pickguard is extremely expensive, with the gold price itself being the relevant cost factor. Gold plating is the more durable the thicker the coat is, which means a 5 micrometers coat is 10 times more durable than one of 0.5 micrometer, but unfortunately also 10 times as expensive – and we areeasily talking about hundreds of dollars (!!) just for the gold here. This is the reason why already on Alchemy – two years after Mark got the guitar – the pickguard was worn at the places where Mark used to rest his right hand.
I was allowed to play the guitar. I played some expensive vintage guitars in my life, so touching a 50,000 dollars guitar was not such a problem (of course you must not think about what would happen if you accidentally drop the guitar …). It had been in the case for some time so it was totally out of tune. After tuning it we plugged it into a Tone King Imperial. It is a really great sounding guitar, with a very warm and full sound. The question which probably comes up automatically is, do you sound like Mark on Tunnel of Love or Telegraph Road just because of the guitar? Well, the answer – you can probably guess – is 'no, not really' – it is all in the fingers and the rest of the signal chain. If you have a blindfold on your eyes and someone plays the guitar, you will not say 'That's the one from Tunnel of Love'. But – the other way around – after playing the guitar I can often hear the same tonal characteristics on the old recordings with this guitar, e.g. a particular warmth or a typical sustain.
The guitar is not a lightweight – it is from a time when heavy wood and brass parts were considered as superior – and in fact these ingredients cause a special sound.
I took many photos of the guitar. Unfortunately I cannot publish these, especially detail photos. The reason is that O. is afraid of giving food to people who fake vintage guitars – here he is not thinking of people 'like us' who might make a luthier build a clone of Mark's Schecter to play with a tribute band but of those who sell fakes as real stuff on ebay. I could convince myself that this is in fact a serious matter when he showed me one of 'my pickguards' that was sold to someone as a real vintage Schecter pickguard (and my pickguards are really not intended to fool someone, e.g. the pickups all have the manufacturer's label on the bottom plate but these were simply sanded off !).
Still I can show you two new pictures of the guitar in this blog post – please don't ask for more.

What an opportunity!
Thanks to Mr O for arranging this viewing and for you providing more detail for us Knopflerites!
Anything more you can publish will be greatfully recieved, what a guitar!
Now I may be ordering more loaded pickguards from you to build my own!!
Well done!!
Wow Ingo, what a great opportunity.
My interest for Van Nuys Schecters has reduced over the years because they are so scarce and I've gotten to prefer tone (i.e. Fender) over sustain (Schecter).
But I've always wondered what it is like to play a genuine Van Nuys Schecter. It seems that MK found them easier to play than his Fenders. Could you share your experience with the playability of this guitar?
you didn't say how did you feel to put your fingers on a same guitar as Mark ?
I can't realise if I would be able to do the same !
this guitar looks gorgeous IMHO, and I always thought that Mark choosed this one for "dark-epic" tones, from TR to RATR.
I find it's a shame it has been replaced by the pensa, in a way.
I guess that PONO, YAYF, SAN, SB… could have been well played on this guitar
Hi Ingo,
Could you please give us more details about what did you feel about the neck of this amazing guitar?
Did you feel it as a C, V, D or U shapes? MK Strat it is supposed to be a C shape. How does it feel the Schecter's neck compared to the MK Strat's?
And what about the fingerboard radius? Do you think it is 12″?
And what about the tapper? Is it slimmer compared to the MK Strat?
The current fret wire looks like jumbo. Or is it more like the Dunlop 6105?
i was waiting for this.
you are one lucky guy. my favorite strat tone came out of this guitar.
but you haven't said anything about the acoustic sound. is it dead? is it brigth?
you say it's heavy, is it just on heavier side or is it a boat anchor?
and, as Eduard, i too would like to know what radius is.
thanx for this,
Hi Ingo
What an amazing experience getting to play one MK's guitars but an even better experience to play one of his Schecters.
I have developed a bit of an obsession with his Schecters over the years.
I don't suppose you noticed if the logo was just black or black with gold edging?
Keep up the great work with this site.
Many thanks
Hi Ingo
What a fantastic opportunity!! I'm very jealous…
Just wondering how high/low the action on the guitar was?? MK always makes playing look so effortless that I've assumed that his guitars have a low action. But I've also heard of great guitarists who's guitars aren't the easiest things to play (which further underlines how good they really are).
Hi Ingo, what an amazing opportunity. I'm trying to get the cash together to build/buy a replica of this guitar. Tell you what, my hands would have been shaking! Imagine if you got to play it through one of the Jim Kelley amps in your other blog post. Keep up the great work, Pete.
PS next you'll be playing the stolen Sunburst Schecter!
Hi Ingo,
I have just watched your video playing the S8001 distorted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij-6RSLJwBE).
This distortion comes from the ToneKing on lead channel or there is an overdrive pedal in between?
Hi Ingo,
do you know what finish the neck had?
Hi Ingo,
Your site is amazing, And that guitar is incredible, Always wondered what happened to that guitar have not seen it since i wore out my vhs recording of the bia tour at wembley, And then i check out your site and you show up with it lol. Does mr o play guitar himself? If so what is his impression of it? And would you ever consider owning it some day? Again amazing site and info.

A must have for State of Michigan Campers!
I have a few books on Michigan State Parks. Most do a nice job of describing the campground. Some have a nice picture of somewhere in the campground(usually the beach). What sets this book apart from the others is there is a campgound map that shows individual sites for each park with camping! No more going to the internet to see site numbers and layout! The other books I have are now going to the bookshelf and this one is in the camping backpack.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

A mind-bending modern drama about emotional isolation
Director Nick Cassavetes (, ) returns with a quirky tale starring Heather Wahlquist () as a young woman suffering hallucinations. Despite her seemingly great life in Los Angeles, Mary Holmes has a difficult time dealing with reality. Plagued by disconnected daydreams, she turns to Vicodin to escape the painful memories of her past. As these hallucinations play out, we learn of a history of drug-dealing and family troubles and watch Holmes struggle to confront her demons. Sienna Miller, Gena Rowlands, Ray Liotta, David Morse, Riley Keough and Melanie Griffith co-star amongst others.
Yellow will premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.

Once it was a whispered secret among movie obsessives: the consensus that Thom Andersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself was a perfect film, three hours of combing through Los Angeles in a stunning multitude of clips and cuts, exploring how the city shaped the movies that shaped the city. Greeted with hosannas upon its release in 2003, it kept a supposedly necessarily low profile in the years that followed, with screenings limited to the occasional repertory-house run. … Read More
From Jane Fonda's sexy space traveler in Barbarella to the Capitol couture featured in The Hunger Games, science fiction cinema has influenced fashion for decades. Eindhoven-based designer Mandy Roos, who we discovered on Moco Loco, has taken inspiration from old-school sci-fi films "and their imaginary visions of future, spaceships and unknown universes." She uses futuristic materials like rubber, plastic, foam, and slime to style her wildly impractical, humorous, visionary footwear. The collection, Invasion Of The Foot Carrier, even sounds like a lost camp classic from the annals of 1960's sci-fi. Take a closer look in our gallery. … Read More
The Best Graffiti in Cinema
For a month last summer, New Yorkers were absolutely consumed with all things Banksy. The acclaimed British street artist had come to NYC for a citywide "residency," and his works popped up all over the city. HBO's new user-generated documentary, Banksy Does New York (airing tonight at 9pm), recounts those halcyon days of stencils, street art, and secret identities. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to graffiti on film. We've rounded up seven more movies to check out, that will ensure you get your street-art fix. … Read More
Exciting Posters for Cult Movie Sequels That Never Happened
The powers that be in Hollywood have been working overtime and turning the crank on the sequel machine for decades. Sometimes it's hard not to be cynical about a part two when many movie follow-ups are made simply for the money. But what about a sequel that fans actually want? Enter iam8bit's latest exhibition, Sequel — part tribute to the cult movies we love, part commentary on Hollywood's obsession with sequels. Our fellow pop culture-loving friends at the West Coast gallery invited more than 40 artists to imagine movie sequels that never were.

The 35 Best Books by Cinema's Greatest Auteurs
It's an old standby that if a person is truly a master at one thing, he's probably not great at much else. But when it comes to cinema, the auteur's role is to be good at everything — sound, writing, camerawork, etc. — while also maintaining an overarching vision. So it isn't surprising that there are so many great books written by cinema's most famous (and infamous)… Read More
Flavorwire Interview: Kim Gottlieb-Walker on Capturing John Carpenter's Landmark Horror Classics
Her work has taken her from the Free Speech Movement in California and the underground press to the golden age of reggae (capturing Bob Marley) and a Jimi Hendrix interview in 1967 (her candid portraits of the singer are featured in the Hendrix "bible," Classic Hendrix). But photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker's encounters with celebrity weren't limited to music. She became the set photographer for filmmaker John Carpenter, capturing stills of his iconic genre films — including Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, Halloween II, and Christine. Her behind-the-scenes images offer insight into one of cinema's masters of horror — a maverick artist who has thrilled and chilled us since 1974. The Carpenter photographs are the subject of a newly released book from Titan Books, On Set with John Carpenter. We recently spoke with Gottlieb-Walker about the making of Halloween, being a woman in a male-dominated industry, and the greatest Carpenter film faces. … Read More
Mega Minimalist Movie Posters: Can You Guess the Films?
Great design stands the test of time. In the case of these iconic film posters, abstracted by London-based designer and art director John Taylor, the images are resilient enough to remain recognizable even when given the minimalist treatment. Taylor's Film the Blanks series, which we first learned about on Co.Design, remixes cinema's most famous one-sheets down to their core elements. He posts the images on his website and encourages readers to participate in a guessing game. "Filmtheblanks.com evolved from a personal project into a daily global quiz and jumped from computer screen to silkscreen as a series of limited edition prints," Taylor writes. So for contemporary film poster fans who prefer Taylor's stripped down versions instead of the originals, he has various ephemera available for sale on his website. In the spirit of Taylor's quiz, we've featured ten of his designs past the break—with the titles blacked out (highlight or double-click to view). … Read More

The Fascinating 100-Year Journey of Black Cinema Through Its Film Posters
Reel Art Press' Separate Cinema: The First 100 Years of Black Poster Art by John Kisch and Tony Nourmand is a centennial celebration of black film poster art. Part history lesson, part art book, the hefty volume features a foreword by scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and afterword by filmmaker Spike Lee. "The wealth of imagery on these pages is taken from The Separate Cinema Archive, maintained by archive director John Kisch," the publisher shares. "The most extensive private holdings of African-American film memorabilia in the world, it contains over 35,000 authentic movie posters and photographs from over 30 countries." The posters span the early race films (created for an all-black audience, featuring all-black cast members) to contemporary African-American historical dramas like Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave. See a preview of this essential title in our gallery, with thanks to Juxtapoz, and then visit the publisher for more information. … Read More

Neopaganism in the United Kingdom
The Neo-pagan movement in the United Kingdom is primarily represented by Wicca and Witchcraft religions, Druidry, and Heathenry. According to the 2011 UK Census, there are roughly 53,172 people who identify as Pagan in England,[nb 1] and 3,448 in Wales,[nb 2] including 11,026 Wiccans in England and 740 in Wales.[nb 3]
A study conducted by Ronald Hutton compared a number of different sources (including membership lists of major organisations within the United Kingdom, major events attendance, subscriptions to magazines, etc.), and used standard models for calculating likely numbers of Pagans within the United Kingdom. This estimate accounted for multiple membership overlaps as well as the number of adherents represented by each attendee of a Neo-pagan gathering. Hutton estimated that there are 250,000 Neo-pagan adherents in the United Kingdom, roughly equivalent to the national Hindu community.[2]
A smaller number is suggested by the results of the 2001 Census, in which a question about religious affiliation was asked for the first time. Respondents were able to write in an affiliation not covered by the check-list of common religions, and a total of 42,262 people from England, Scotland, and Wales declared themselves to be Pagans by this method (or 23% of the 179,000 adherents of "other religions" in the results). These figures were not released as a matter of course by the Office for National Statistics, but were released after an application filed by the Pagan Federation (Scottish branch).[3] With a population of around 59 million, this gives a rough proportion of 7 Pagans per 10,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom.
The 2001 UK Census figures did not allow an accurate breakdown of traditions within the Pagan heading, as a campaign by the Pagan Federation before the census encouraged Wiccans, Heathens, Druids and others all to use the same write-in term 'Pagan' in order to maximise the numbers reported. The 2011 census however made it possible to describe oneself as Pagan-Wiccan, Pagan-Druid and so on. The figures for England and Wales are as follows:[4]
The overall numbers of people reporting Pagan or one of the other categories in the table above rose between 2001 and 2011. In 2001 about seven people per 10,000 UK respondents identified as pagan; in 2011 the number (based on the England and Wales population) was 14.3 people per 10,000 respondents.
Research conducted by Dr Leo Ruickbie suggested that the south-east of England had the highest concentration of Neo-pagans in the country.[5]
Neopaganism in England is dominated by Wicca, founded in England itself, the modern movement of Druidry, and forms of Germanic Neopaganism, which claims to be the indigenous religion of the Englishmen.
Wicca was developed in England in the first half of the 20th century.[6] Although it had various terms in the past, from the 1960s onward the name of the religion was normalised to Wicca.[7]
Germanic Neopaganism[edit]
Germanic Heathenism in Britain is primarily represented by two of its forms: Odinism, an international Germanic movement characterized by a centralised organisation (although not all Odinists are involved with this organisation), and Anglo-Saxon Heathenry or Fyrnsidu, a movement represented by independent kindreds characterised by a focus on local folklore as the source for the reconstruction of the ethnic religion of the English people. Both the movements draw inspiration from the Anglo-Saxon identity and culture of England.
The Odinic Rite (OR) was founded in 1973 under the influence of Else Christensen's Odinist Study Group (Odinist Fellowship). In 1988 the Odinic Rite became the first polytheistic religious organisation to be granted "Registered Charity" status in the United Kingdom. British Odinists are very active in the media, they also run the Odinist Press Service (although not all Odinists are involved with this organisation).
Various independent Anglo-Saxon kindreds exist such as the Wuffacynn of Suffolk and Northern Essex, the Fealu Hlæw Þeod based in Hathersage and Peak District and the Þunorrad Þeod covering the Kingdom of Mercia. The Heathen Alliance is a network for various Heathen groups throughout the United Kingdom.
During the Iron Age, Celtic polytheism was the predominant religion in the area now known as England. Neo-Druidism grew out of the Celtic revival in 18th century Romanticism. Its first organised group was the Ancient Order of Druids, founded in London in 1781 along Masonic lines as a mutual benefit society and still extant today. It is not a neo-Pagan group. It was followed in 1792 by the Gorsedd of Bards of the Isle of Britain, also founded in London. This was the brainchild of Welsh stonemason, student of Welsh language, culture and heritage, and literary forger, Edward Williams, better known by his assumed name, Iolo Morganwg. It also survives to this day, its rituals forming an important part of the annual Welsh National Eisteddfod. Its members include Queen Elizabeth II and former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. It is a cultural institution, not a neo-Pagan one. Inasmuch as it has a religious element, that element is Christian. The Ancient Druid Order, founded circa 1909, was the first that could be characterised as neo-Pagan, its founder being influenced by the occult movement of the late 19th century. The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, which split from the Ancient Druid Order in 1964, began to develop a more neo-Pagan style of Druidry, partly through the friendship between its founder, Ross Nichols, and the founder of modern Wicca, Gerald Gardner. Nichols, however, was a Christian. More overtly Pagan Druid groups began to develop in the UK from the late 1970s onwards. These include the British Druid Order, The Druid Network and numerous other smaller groups.[8]

Toldot: Blessings in Disguise
Editor's Note:
Dear reader,
I was building a model airplane. The parts were so tiny, it took me hours just to assemble the fuselage. As I was setting the wings, another kid muscled his way in. "You're slow. Let me do that." He was squirting globs of glue all over my work of art, ramming the wings wherever they seemed to fit. Then there was a crack. My plane was broken.
This week we read about Jacob and Esau. Father Isaac wanted to bless Esau, but their mother, Rebecca, wanted Jacob to be blessed. Jacob was the good twin, and Esau was bad. What was Isaac thinking?
Look at it like this:
The blessing was the Torah, whose purpose is to instruct us how to perform mitzvahs, thus bringing the world into its completed state. Isaac foresaw (rightly) that if the descendants of Jacob would be given the task, it would take a long time. Esau was a wild man. With all his frenetic, chaotic energy, perhaps he could finish the job sooner.
But Rebecca knew that a delicate job requires focus, gentle hands and patience. It has been thousands of years, and our dedication is about to pay off. We're the children of Jacob. We may not be flashy, but we know how to stay the course.
And you know what? When we finally get the job done, the children of Esau will be there to help us—and nothing will break!
Shais Taub,
on behalf of the Chabad.org Editorial Team
You need to pick a spot and stick with it. You can't stop boring when you hit a rocky stretch, and you can't take the work home with you.
Esau was the bad guy, right? So why did his father, the patriarch Isaac, prefer him over his saintly brother Jacob?
After 20 childless years, Rebecca bears twins: Esau and Jacob. Esau prefers hunting; Jacob prefers Torah study. Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red lentil soup. Jacob deceives his father for his blessing, and flees to escape Esau's wrath.
We are no strangers to loss. We are no strangers to tragedy. But we have and we will survive and strengthen and overcome.
Our mitzvahs, no matter how small they may seem, perpetuate the legacies of those who have fallen, and ensure the continued safety of our brothers and sisters under attack.
Can Ari outsmart the very same hackers that he himself programmed? Can he save his world?
Mr. Steven Solarsh, a prominent entrepreneur and founding member and supporter of Chabad of Strathavon, South Africa, addresses the banquet at the 5773 Conference of Shluchim.
Major events in this period of history include Ehud's assassination of Eglon; the heroism of the female judge, Deborah; the tragedy of Jephthah's daughter; Samson's war against the Philistines; and the Concubine at Givah incident.
Over the next few hours, several more packages arrived with the same message, each from a different store, each one specializing in women's and girls' apparel.
You're in the middle of it all, the traffic rages, the phones won't leave you in peace, and adrenalin races through every vein. It takes courage to tell the world to stop while you chat with its Maker.
Sanctuary—sacred space—can exist in time, physical space, and interpersonal relationships, as well as within our souls.
Holding the dishes tightly, I began to shuffle very, very slowly into the water. The last time I had swum in the lake had been over twenty years before, and the silt on the bottom had reached halfway up to my knees.
Is freedom of choice possible if G‑d knows everything that will happen?
Coming together is like seeing all the pieces of the puzzle at once . . .
Billed as the world's largest Jewish museum, it invites visitors to experience the story of the Jewish people as told through the lens of the many generations living in Russian-speaking lands.

A word from The National Bar & Dining Rooms
Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian brings his vision of a contemporary New York grand café to life at The National Bar & Dining Rooms. Housed in the same 1927 Emery Roth-designed building as The Benjamin Hotel, The National's all-occasion modern bistro offerings satiate guests from breakfast through late night. Modeled after the celebrated grand cafés in Europe, The National is both residential and metropolitan in design and offers thoughtful details such as antiqued mirrors, a bronze spiral staircase, distressed peacock blue and chocolate leather banquettes, classic marble table tops, and black and white glazed-tile flooring.Continued
Each Sunday evening from 6pm to 10pm, The National features a lineup of New York City bands performing an array of musical selections such as classic jazz, funk, blues, and more.

- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/7/2014I've enjoyed lunch here many times with a nice meal and service each time. Dinner this week was a disaster. The food was marginally acceptable. My crispy pork belly was soggy. My dinner guest requested medium rare and received well done. The food service took too long so sending it back wasn't an option. The service staff was either all new with no manager on duty or perhaps the restaurant caters to lunch and their dinner business is an after thought. I may consider lunch again but certainly not dinner.
- OTReviewDined on 10/1/2014Fine option for those staying on the "hotel row" on Lex in midtown. Due to its location, it is full of tourists and not a Manhattan vibe. Waitstaff on my visit in Oct 2014 was fine. I did have a seating issue: I had a reservation and showed up on time. When I wanted to change my seat (even before water was poured) I received major attitude by the two 20-something know it all hostesses ("you've already been given a seat which you wanted to change and now you have to go to the back of the line" despite the fact the my reservation time was before anyone else in line…nice!). Other than that, a decent place to eat if you are staying in one of the local hotels and not feeling adventurous.
- It is awesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/30/2014I never write reviews, but this place deserves one. I brought my mom here and our food was impeccable.Special Features:
- DisappointmentSEBurfDined on 9/30/2014We were so exited to go to Geoffry's restuarant and so disappointed afterwards. The service was the worst. Slow, had to ask for everything not friendly. Definitely not what one would expect from an Iron Chef's restaurant. With all the good places in NYC I doubt we'll return.
- Good, not greatAnonymousDined on 9/30/2014I'm a huge Zakarian fan, but the food here was good without being special or particularly memorable. Combined with a noise level that makes it hard for even a table of two to have a conversation, I'm sad to say that I'm unlikely to return.
- Eggs not free range :(joehVIPDined on 9/30/2014this could be a great place, but sadly they are not procuring their meets from humane vendors. When i pay for a top restuarant i certainly wish to see some care that eggs are free range and meats are pasture raised and humanely slaughtered and that seafood is sustainably harvested. this is the future and unfortuantley the National is not there yet.
- Ok Food - Grumpy ServicenybebbiVIPDined on 9/29/2014I go to The National Bar occasionally to have breakfast, and I ordered the egg frittata which was about ok. The atmosphere is nice and the restaurant is conveniently located. But the service has been inattentive and rather unfriendly. When I experienced this once before I thought it was a mishap. But it seems to be a trademark. The should better employ people who wake up early.
- food ok, terrible serviceHellsKitchenVIPDined on 9/19/2014I went for breakfast with a reservation. It took them 10 minutes to seat me. I had to wait at least 20 minutes for the waitress to take the order. She did not come back to refill coffee etc. There are better places around this area for breakfast.
- Fabulous!EBFXVIPDined on 9/17/2014This restaurant is so much fun and the food is fabulous. The service is perfect; everyone is lovely.Special Features:
- The NationalOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/17/2014Overall, very good meal. We started with cheese and charcuterie plates, and both were fantastic. At our table. three people had the grilled branzino, and all thought it was excellent. Issues were service and noise level. It was a business dinner, and the noise around our 6-top table in the back dining room was so loud we could not hold a group conversation. We asked the server to turn it down and it abated somewhat. Service overall was a bit disjointed. As mentioned, three of us had the branzino and two came out with the entrees, and the final one came out nearly 10 minutes later. Unfortunately, drink orders were so slow throughout the evening that during a full 3-hour dinner, each person in our group only had 2 cocktails or beers.Special Features:
- DisappointingNakabode1Dined on 9/16/2014Far too loud for any meaningful conversation. Food cold and not worth the price. Service good, but wait was long for main course. Far better options available nearby. It's too bad, because I have wanted to try the restaurant for a while after walking by while staying at hotel and nearby.Special Features:
- Good food poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/15/2014Must have good service to justify the price point. Didn't happen at lunch here.
- Sunday Brunch visitOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/14/2014The food was good but not great. We went on Sunday around 3pm for a late lunch. Had the burger. Nothing special but it was good.
- AngeloVIPDined on 9/14/2014Great service,food outstanding location convent to WaldorffSpecial Features:
- Nice Food, Nice LocationOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/12/2014We had a moderately good experience here. The food was very tasty, but the selection was quite limited. The service was fine, but not amazing. The location is convenient for those staying at one of the many midtown hotels. Definitely a nice meal, but not worth a special trip.
- Food decent, service slowNDgirlVIPDined on 9/9/2014Went here because it was in my hotel. and had no idea that it was Geoffrey Zakarian's restaurant. Didn't live up to other Iron Chef restaurants for me. Menu is relatively small. Food was good, but not special. Service was very very slow. Went to Bar Americain the next night (Bobby Flay) and it was a much better experience all around. Noise level also pretty high.Special Features:
- Ok food, horrible servicejoaovalVIPDined on 9/8/2014We had a 21:30 reservation after going to the US Open finals and we were staying at the hotel where the restaurant is located. We got there at 21:20 and even with empty tables the hostess said we couldn't seat... so we waited for 10' without any reason. She was very rude when we asked if we could seat, assuming there were empty places... 'your reservation is for 21:30 and you will be seated at 21:30'... The food was ok, however it took 40' to be delivered... In the end of the day, it doesn't if you are a famous chef, you need to treat your customers fairly! Will not go back and will not recommend it...
- Notable Night at Thr NationalPSARBRDined on 8/31/2014Here on a three-day holiday weekend, we wanted to dine at a relaxed, upscale restaurant close to our hotel. We found it in the National. The special cocktails were amazing and the bonus was the live entertainment on Sunday evening. Be sure to reserve a table in the bar to best enjoy the music.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Meal Ever!!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/31/2014I ordered the braised lamb shank, it was one of the best meals I've ever had - meat was "fall off" the bone, tender and full of flavor. Will definitely return next time I'm in NYC.Special Features:
- Unacceptable Customer ServiceDAHSFDined on 8/31/2014This was one of the worst dining experiences I can remember. The hostess was downright hostile and frankly if my friend had not insisted, we would have left then and there. She was rude to both of us, and made it seem like she was doing us a favor by allowing us to eat at her restaurant. I asked to see the manager - and shockingly, he not only was defensive he demanded to know "what she said" to us that was rude. HUH?? I actually told him how she treated us and he said that "couldn't be" as "no one" complained about her. Well, after the meal, I checked Yelp, and this was flat out a lie. At least a half dozen reviews mentioned the RUDE hostess and manager. We will never recommend this restaurant. Terrible experience.
- Not Iron Chef qualityFan2zDined on 8/29/2014The risotto was average and the branzino was tasteless. My companion liked the lamb shank. One of the specialty drinks was unavailable... really? But the red carpet which was suggested was good. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to eating at one of my favorite chef's restaurants. Will probably not return.
- Taking care of businessSullynneDined on 8/28/2014Dined here last evening and ordered a particular dish. When it arrived my waiter noticed that I was less than thrilled with the dish. He asked more than once, are you sure you wouldn't rather exchange it and so I did. I was much more pleased with the second choice and the waiter's notice was so appreciated. He really handled it so well and I appreciated his attention to detail. What a great experience. Handled so well.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014Simply put, this was my first time at the National and I would certainly go back.Special Features:
- Too NoiseygcfloresVIPDined on 8/26/2014Kymberly Messersmith is a regular at the Benjamin Hotel and the National restaurant, but on this visit for lunch on 8/26, the level of noise was too much for a business time lunch. The food is consistenly good and so is the services, but please do something about the noise....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/25/2014The food was very good! However the restaurant was not very full on the evening we dined and the service was slow. Other than that we had a very good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MehEliseDined on 8/25/2014Service was mediocre. Waitress was not friendly and seemed annoyed we were there. Omelet was good; potatoes on the side were inedible - so salty! Toast was cold.
- Very mediocre given the priceErikDined on 8/15/2014The staff was very nice (my poor service review is the bar), however there were several issues. The drinks were extremely slow to arrive - not sure what was going on at the bar, but it was a good 10-15 minutes to get a drink. We were even there early and the place was almost empty. We ordered another round and had finished dinner before the drinks showed up. The food was ok - ordered the ugly burger medium and it came out rare and cold. Not sure I would go back here given the lots of other great choices.Special Features:
- Rampant1VIPDined on 8/15/2014Always an interesting menu and well executed meal at the National but the service and overall dining experience has been off just about every time I've gone. This past trip featured broken glass shards in my plate due to a nearby dropped glass, which the server less-than-emphatically apologized for after being told about it. Ten minutes later another dropped glass just feet behind me. Add to this the wait times for just about everything, and the noise level, and you have an experience you'd rather forget. The saving grace is that the food is always good and interesting. I was excited to use the pay-from-your-phone app but was never offered dessert or coffee. I was left to assume our meal was over, pay, and get up and leave.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant WeekLoveroffoodVIPDined on 8/14/2014Have never had a bad meal at The National. The wine by the glass selection was as always very good. The dishes on the Restaurant Week menu was plentiful and extensive. Can you do something about the noise level? When we arrived the noise level in the bar area was out of this world, we requested for a quieter table and was given one in the dining room area but once that filled up the noise level was the same. Love the restaurant but help, my ears can't take the beating from the noise level.Special Features:
- Good food, poor service, nice roomGulliverDined on 8/14/2014We enjoyed the food immensely but the service was indifferent bordering on rude. It was early and the place was not overly busy. Yes, we ordered from the restaurant week pre-fix, but we also had cocktails, wine and after dinner drinks. The check was $180 plus tip. Not reason for such service. Maybe it was just a bad night, but perhaps this waiter should find a new line of work.Special Features:
- Fantastic FoodFoodieMelDined on 8/13/2014I ordered from the Restaurant Week menu, and was happy to see a vegetarian entree option (which doesn't always happen at a lot of places). I had the Market Salad, Sweet Corn Risotto, and Lemon Pound Cake. The food was all delicious, service was great, and we had a wonderful time.Special Features:
- Love the National!FooDVIPDined on 8/13/2014The staff at the National is top notch! They got us in for lunch exactly on time...no waiting. The decor is clean and elegant, without being pretentious. The food was delicious. Id recommend this restaurant to anyone.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 8/12/2014Wonderful 3-course menu perfect for our late arrival.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always reliableMllenDined on 8/12/2014I have never been disappointed here. There are plenty of choices and the food is always good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The National Remains at the TopmgsgeoDined on 8/11/2014Outstanding food as always. Restaurant week portions can be small, but not at the National. Third time here and will be back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/10/2014Brunch was fine, but nothing special. Dinner was not great. Loud band playing and undercooked burger.
- This is Zakarian's food???IamAfoodieDined on 8/8/2014We were here for restaurant week. The appetizer was lamb neck, the flavor would have been good if it wasn't way too salty! Then for the entrée we had branzino, the skin was so burnt it made the entire fish bitter, the sides weren't any better. At least the chocolate mousse w/strawberry sorbet was good. 1 out of 3. I expected better from Zakarian. Then the service, the waiter did not seem to care. When the bill came, they charged us a supplement of I think $13 each for the lamb neck, which did not have a supplemental charge. I always make sure the bill is correct, and especially since I did read reviews saying they get the bills wrong. I should have listened to the reviews about the bad food & service, & billing errors, bc they are all true!Special Features:
- food okfoodiefanVIPDined on 8/7/2014Overall we liked the food. Pork chop and Brussels sprouts were excellent. The potatoes accompanying the branzino were almost inedible as they were so sour. Fish / branzino was a trifle overcooked and not at all moist.Service was great. Music was too noisy. Speakers everywhere playing thumping club music at 7:30 pm dinner, really? Took my appetite away. Was expecting more from Zacharian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not at all what i expectedRenskyVIPDined on 8/6/2014i expected a restaurant of chef zakarian's to be classy in the environment and excellent in the food categories and was truly disappointed in both. from the greeting at the door by two disinterested very young women in jeans to the inattentive waiter who had to be forced to bring coffee at the end of the meal to the overly salty branzino and hard as a rock lemon pound cake this restaurant is a nightmare to be avoided at all costs. shame on you chef zakarian!
- Not for restaurant weekPontuquesiDined on 8/5/2014Food was not full of taste or pair to its reputation, at least the options served on the restaurant week menu... Pea gazpacho with neutral flavor roasted chicken with a very light tasting sauce and a sorbet that could be bought at a supermarket

Three reels of the 1924 British silent film "The White Shadow," was
recently unearthed in New Zealand. An early effort from the Master of
Suspense, director Alfred Hitchcock, film historians have heralded it a
momentous find.

Keywords: Alfred Hitcock, silent movie, New Zealand
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Hitchcock served as "The White Shadow's" assistant director, writer, editor and production designer. Made in Britain, where Hitchcock was born and began his career, "Shadow" was distributed by an American company.
"We were sort of the end of the line, I think, from the U.S. They obviously traveled to Australia and across to New Zealand, and then when it got to the last screenings in New Zealand here, these productions were just destroyed," Brian Scadden, the head of the laboratory at Park Road Post Production in Wellington says.
A local projectionist kept the film and left it to the New Zealand Film Archive after his death in 1989.
Leslie Anne Lewis, an American audio visual archive specialist examined the collection and came upon three reels.
"They were filled with really striking images, images that were enough to pique my curiosity, so I decided that night to start trying to identify the film," Lewis says. "And during my inspection, I was able to identify two of the film's stars, Betty Compson and Clive Brook, and the film's distributor, Selznick [Lewis J. Selznick Enterprises].
"I realized that this was most likely a film that Alfred Hitchcock had worked on," she said. "It was quite a surprise, and it was the middle of the night when I realized this, and I had no one that I could call and tell!"
The story of twin sisters, one evil and one innocent, "The White Shadow's" star, American actress Betty Compson, plays both parts. Park Road Post Production's Brian Scadden says the film has unique tints that emphasize its drama.
"There's one part where the leading lady, she goes into the bedroom, and it's an amber tint, and then she switches the light off, and it goes to quite a bluey-green tint," Scadden says. "So, whatever the mood is, whatever the time of day is, they have a different tint."
Film researchers will continue to look for remaining reels of the movie, which may have been destroyed or disintegrated.

I have created a tabbar application from the default templates. I want to add a frontpage that has a picture, the title of the App and that will not include the tab bar, and which will not have a tab on the tab bar.
This would be the first page that someone sees when launching the App, and would have an "Enter" button leading into the firstviewcontroller ideally i.e. the first tab of the tab bar.
I cannot find how to do this at all - have explored Splash screens (but understand this is not what it's meant for). And all the codes that may work don't seem to be for XCode 3.2.5.
Is there a tutorial out there?
Any help much much appreciated.

Ignite those fires. "Love" is a verb. It's not a state of being in "love." Taking action, making love with your mind and soul and not just your body will keep your love alive.
You don't have to wait for Valentine's Day to rekindle romance or say "I love you."
In fact, those three words are the most powerful in the romantic vocabulary. Try it. Here are fifteen tips for you to rekindle romance and have Valentine's Day all year long.
1. Start by just holding hands. Hold hands every
time you are together. All of us need more touching and holding hands is a wonderful way to show our partners we love them.
2. Write love notes to one another, even if it's just the words "I love you." Leave them where your partner will find them during the day.
3. Reminisce about the days of your early courtship and why you fell in love with each other. Go through your mementos. Use this opportunity to reconnect.
4. Leave a love message or compliment on the home answering machine or on voice mail at work for your loved one.
5. Pamper your partner with a hand, foot, back, or neck massage.
6. Compliment your mate often. Tell them all the things you love and appreciate about them.
7. Do a "random act of kindness" for your partner. Surprise them with something that they'll never expect but will greatly appreciate. It can be extra special if it is something that you did while you were dating.
8. Share a romantic meal. Prepare it together. Put candles on the table. Dress up as though on a date. Play your favorite music. Unplug the phone and enjoy each other.
9. Exchange lists with each other of at least four things that you respect and admire about your partner.
10. Share your dreams for the future and really listen to each other. Laugh, love, learn and grow together.
11. Spend the day together. Play and have fun. Go for a walk and talk. Do what you both enjoy. If you have children, make arrangements with family or friends to watch them. Offer to do the same for them in trade.
12. Give your partner a written promise for 4 hours of your time that they can spend as they wish in the future.
13. Give your partner the day off. Do your partner's chores for the day. Let them do what they want to do for the whole day.
14. Do a project together. Consider volunteer work or even a household project. The key is to accomplish a goal as a couple.
Use any of the above ideas as examples to create your own acts of love each day. You will be amazed at what you can come up with and enjoy together.

Pear & Red Onion Gratin
Source: Eating Well
Note: We like to use the Ian's brand of coarse dry breadcrumbs, labeled "Panko breadcrumbs." Find them in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets. To make your own breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/3 cup. Spread the breadcrumbs onto a baking sheet and bake in a 250°F oven until dry and crispy, about 15 minutes.
