This App will help you to avoid any unwanted slip-ups in the exam. Although most of the reminders are common sense, but from the evidence students still need reminding of them. Read through the tips and take note of the most relevant ones before tackling your exam.
Functions of Ingredients
It's easy enough (sometimes!) to pick up a cookery book, buy some ingredients and cook a couple of different dishes, but have you ever stopped to think exactly what you're putting into those pots and pans?
Why use flour to make bread? Why use eggs to make a meringue?
This Learn-It will help you learn the functions of each ingredient - what they actually do...
Wheat flour is the most important ingredient in home baking. There are many different types of flour, such as stone ground, wholemeal and cookie flour. Flour as an ingredient has many different and important functions?
- Provides fibre (especially if wholemeal)
- If Self-Raising, makes mixtures rise
- Thickens sauces
- Forms the bulk of bread, pastry and cake mixes
- If wholemeal, provides colour and texture
- Gluten in flour produces a stretchy dough
- Provides carbohydrate, Vitamin B, calcium and iron
Ever tasted a sugar-free cookie? Not nice. Some people may even cringe at the thought of having no sugar to dip their strawberries into! Well, although it does it well, making things sweet isn't the only thing that sugars good for. Yes... really!
- Provides sweetness
- If brown, provides colour and texture
- Large amounts prevent micro-organism growth (for example, jam/marmalade)
- Caramelises to produce a brown colour
- Retains moisture
- Helps to trap air in cake mixtures
- Provides carbohydrate
From an Egg Mc Muffin, to a lemon meringue pie... You can use them for anything!
- Hold air when beaten
- Coagulate (sets) when heated
- Add colour to mixtures
- Thickens sauces, custards, etc.
- Glaze bread, scones and pastry
- Bind ingredients together
- Provide protein, fat, iron and Vitamins A, B, and E
They may not be that good for you, but fats and oils are definitely essential ingredients in many, many dishes.
- Provide flavour
- Keep products moist and extend shelf-life
- Add colour to foods
- Make pastry 'short' by coating the flour to stop gluten developing
- Hold air when creamed with sugar
- Oil forms an emulsion with liquids (for example, mayonnaise)
- Provide energy and Vitamins A and D
Give the functions of each of the ingredients in a Lemon Meringue Pie by dragging the functions next to the relevant food item:

May, Gilman and Murty Take Home the Cash
Story by Josh Reynolds
Stuart, IA (September 21) – Mother Nature had it out for Stuart Speedway in season #53, and there was no exception when it came to our season ending special. The Night Before the Nationals was postponed until September 20th, and then pushed back one more day due to 2 ½" of rain, but the skies would clear and a great field of cars showed up for one last night of action at the bullring! Jimmy May, Clint Luellen, Damon Murty, Josh Gilman and John Watson were the big winners on the 12th and final night of the season.
After heat races were completed the Mod Lites made their way to the track for the Clint Walrod Memorial. Clint passed away twelve years ago and is remembered fondly by friends and family. He was an avid Dwarf Car (now Mod Lite) fan and his father, Michael "Wombat" Walrod, is a huge supporter of dirt track racing in Central Iowa. Wombat has made this event bigger every year and we hope to help continue this race for years to come. Dusty Masolini and Dillon Raffurty brought the field to green with Raffurty leading lap one. Masolini followed close behind with Josh May in third, but May didn't stay there for long. The #99 moved into second on lap four and took over the lead on lap six. Jimmy May made it a family affair as he moved into second on lap eleven, and the two proceeded to check out. Jimmy made the pass on lap fifteen with Josh running second and Raffurty third. Josh May's engine gave up on lap nineteen, leaving his dad out front for the final six laps. Jimmy needed no help as he would go on to take the win, the $1000 and the Regional Stars Event. Masolini finished in second with Cory Sauerman third, Raffurty fourth and Tim Hennigar fifth after starting nineteenth. Both of the May's and Masolini were the heat race winners.

Traveling through to Washington D.C. last week to attend a conference on the future of emerging markets, I was cut off from the rest of the world when my Mac hard drive crashed. Luckily my Mexican host was a young computer genius who fixed it by changing the drive to a new flash memory card and lo and behold, my computer is faster and slightly lighter, but I lost all my past files.
Turkey has announced a major shift in policy, in a direction strongly desired — and strongly pressed — by the United States and our allies in the war against ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria). The government in Ankara has agreed to allow Kurd forces from Iraq to cross Turkey's borders to battle ISIS terrorists in Syria.
I just looked up "aggressive" in a fat dictionary which promises in a blurb on its cover to help writers to improve their efforts (hmm). The scholars there split their definition into two parts.
Canada has yet again been given a reality jolt. Twice within three days, "lone wolf" terrorists have killed Canadian soldiers on Canadian soil; one outside Montreal and another at the symbolic National War Memorial in Ottawa. The Ottawa incident also saw the apparent lone gunmen rush into the Houses of Parliament, wildly firing shots in an attempt kill legislators. Fortunately he failed.
The fourth plenary session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which opened on Monday, comes with a theme of the rule of law.
President Ma Ying-jeou on Oct. 21 announced further measures to prevent Ebola from entering Taiwan. He is not alone in this, as people and governments around the world are taking precautions to stop the disease from spreading amid media-fueled panic. Some of these measures are more effective than others.
At a casual glance, the recent string of events on the Korean Peninsula is puzzling. However, if we heed the notion that there is a method to North Korea's madness, the events of the last few weeks pertaining to Pyongyang and Seoul are no longer an enigma.
China's relationship with Russia has strengthened in the wake of the Ukraine crisis, despite Moscow's clear violation of the Chinese principle of noninterference in other countries' internal affairs.
Muslim women in the West do not disown Islam. Like other Muslims, they too love it. They also are not afraid of the anti-Muslim sentiments that emerged after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In yet another tragic reminder of South Korea's apparent lack of safety awareness, 16 people fell to their deaths at an outdoor concert in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province, Friday night.

If your modeling program supports scripting, you could try making a script with a loop that instances your object and changes its coordinates accordingly.
However, I might have not understood you correctly. More details could help.
Cheers !
Hey kaghazak !
While there are no defined limits to scene polygon counts, the actual polycount level depends on the platform you're pushing the content for. Example PCs can handle hundreds of thousands of (untesselated) polygons, but mobile platforms (in the current generation) on average support a few tens of thousands of polygons.
With that in mind you should not really be worried about how many TOTAL polygons there are, but instead be more worried how many polygons are visible in your camera frame at any time. This is because your camera will let the GPU process only what is not culled. There is backface culling, frustum culling, etc. And it will prevent you from processing unnecessary model/lighting/shader/animation information.
So it's actually a matter of trial and error until you reach the perfect compromise.

I definitely agree that there should be a revamp of prices on 3docean. Lets just compare two models of the same product in here – one is perfectly crafted, made 100% measure-correct, beautifully rendered, etc. and the other is mediocre at best – yet they are priced the same on this marketplace (for comparison, 15$ for phones). This simply cannot be.
Thank you so much guys !
Hello Envato !
It seems I have been away for quite some time, so many things have changed !
Now, It might be a redundant question, but today I have noticed a "This item may not be property released." bar on my item page. It has a link leading to an empty FAQ page.
Good people can you please explain to me what this is ?
Thank you !!
Cheers !
Offer still standing ?
plus, I still think we do not have enough assets here (in general), nor do we have a variety that can satisfy most buyer's needs.
Example, take a look at TF3Dm. They were able to somehow attract a crowd of people to start posting assets for FREE, even though many, if not most, of the items there are ports from actual videogames, still, they were somehow able to attract a large working community. This might be different for 3dO since we really try to push guidelines, but the idea of attracting a workforce to the marketplace should be a priority.
Conspiracy talk: I think envato should bribe one or two of turbosquid's top authors of all time and let them share their premium "marketplace perks" like buyer top keyword searches, etc.
Now jokes aside, I believe we (the authors) really should try do some data mining on stock CG assets search queries.
So far what envato has established here, is a stock CG marketplace with very competitive prices. Now I know that we might not be as satisfied with the prices, but I also believe that 3dO's lower prices should be used as a selling point. Something like, "don't waste 1k on a stock asset, buy it on 3dO for just 49$". We have an ace in the sleeve in that regard.
Now when we start seeing a rise in momentum of buyers, we (as authors) should start preaching how to increase the quality of our (and everybody else's) assets. And this will just boost the reputation of 3dO, and will help maintain customer flow.
Cheers guys !
Bam ! Yes,I've hit my 500th sale today(after quite a long run), i'd like to thank all the buyers and the community for being so awesome, and for all the support ! You guys rock !

Film Noir
Aug. 1 to 28 | Cinematheque
Tix & info: $11-14 thecinematheque.ca
VANCOUVER — An IMDB page on quotes taken from the 1944 film Double Indemnity lists no fewer than 37 entries.
They don't, as they say, make 'em like that anymore.
"In some ways, Double Indemnity is a quintessential noir," Cinematheque Artistic Director Jim Sinclair said of the Billy Wilder-directed classic.
"It's about a double-crossing dame who seduces a sap into a murder plot. It has great hard-boiled dialogue. It's told in flashbacks, so there's this sense of fatalism. It has many of the great elements that distinguish film noir. And it's a great deal of fun. A lot of these films are really entertaining even though they're often about the chaos of the universe and people going to their doom."
A restored version of the movie is one of 12 films the theatre is screening throughout August as part of its latest Film Noir series. Others include such classics as The Postman Always Rings Twice (the 1946 version starring John Garfield), The Maltese Falcon and Leave Her to Heaven. There are also a number of lesser-known films, rescued from obscurity and ill repute.
Film historians date the genre back to the 1940s and '50s, when low-budget studios churned out cheap B-movies to play on the backs of bigger budgeted flicks in double-bills. At the time, all but the big-budget movies now regarded as film noir were dismissed by movie critics.
But a resurgence of interest, led in part by the French cineastes of the '60s, resulted in a reassessment of many of these movies, now regarded as American classics. And the renewed availability of the films, some for the first time, on VHS, DVD and more recently Blu-ray, means whole new generations have been discovering masterpieces of immorality like Gun Crazy (part of the festival, in a new restoration) and Detour (not being screened this year).
Cinematheque began programming its Film Noir series in the '90s, but stopped when the selection began running dry.
"In the nineties, we were still relying on film prints that were in Canada, many of them aging," Sinclair said. "We exhausted the supply of what was available. But with the coming of DVD and Blu-ray, and later DCP (Digital Cinema Package, a collection of digital files), a lot of the studios started pulling their films out of the vault and restoring them for digital release. Suddenly, there was this abundance of great films that were in good condition prints."
A special long-weekend noir triple bill Aug. 3 is stacked with classics, including The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and Mildred Pierce.
Lesser-known entries in the series include So Dark the Night, directed by Joseph H. Lewis, who also made Gun Crazy.
"Gun Crazy is still a fantastic film," Sinclair said. "It has incredible style, incredible mood, and it really holds up as a work of cinema."
Of the 12 movies that are part of the series, Sinclair is excited about screening a number of them, including Detective Story (1951), directed by A-list director William Wyler.
"It stars Kirk Douglas in I think one of his most ferocious roles," Sinclair said. "It has incredible Kirk Douglas dialogue. He plays a lawman who discovers his immaculate wife isn't quite as immaculate as he thought. I've been trying to get it for several years."
Besides hard-boiled dialogue, crisp and moody (usually black-and-white) cinematography, and performances that often see the actors playing against type (including Marilyn Monroe in Niagara, one of the few colour entries in this year's series), the film noir movies of the classic era offer other pleasures, including the sense of discovery.
"I think part of the mythos is the rediscovery of neglected films," Sinclair said. "The prime example of that is Edgar G. Ulmer's Detour (1945), which is often cited as one of the greatest B movies ever made. That claim's also been made of Gun Crazy. There is this kind of cachet of discovering dynamic stylish B-movies that were dismissed at the time because they were tawdry, about tawdry subjects. Maybe these films weren't about important social or political issues but they had style and they dealt with these anxieties. And they were dynamic pieces of filmmaking."
In the words of Double Indemnity's Walter Neff: "How could I know that murder could sometimes smell like honeysuckle?"

Publisher's Description
When a woman loves a man it's like all the cliches you have ever heard. She "stands by her man." He has "sunshine on a cloudy day." She makes him feel like "a natural man." When a woman loves a man you are looking at how Christ loves. She puts his needs before her own. She focuses on what he needs and how he needs it. When a woman loves a man she is his biggest cheerleader and encourager. She will go to great lengths to protect him and promote him. Although Jezebel was definitely an ungodly woman she showed her love for Ahab, even though that love contributed to her death. When a woman loves a man she stands by him against all odds, in front of him against all foes, and behind him to protect his back.
The Bible states that God took part of the man's rib and made the woman. This is significant for many reasons, one of which teaches us that the woman's love would be expressed in her protection of her husband emotionally. The ribcage protects the vital organs like the heart and the lungs. Yes, God has made man the physical protector of the woman but He's equaled the playing field by making the woman the emotional protector of the man. It has been said that man is the head, but it is the woman that turns the head. In Titus chapter 2 the older women are to teach the younger women how to love their husbands. When a Woman Loves a Man will explore and explain the characteristics that a woman demonstrates that expresses her love to her man in the way that God intended.

Following complaints of loud parties and other nuisances, the Seal Beach City Council is requiring permits and will consider a moratorium. Meanwhile, a Dana Point poll shows support for the rentals in that city.
The numbers reflect second quarter 2012 compared to same period in 2011
Vacation rental listing growth
Seal Beach - 36% decrease
Sunset Beach – no change
San Clemente – 19% increase
Laguna Beach – 20% increase
Newport Beach – 4% increase
Irvine – 67% decrease
Balboa Peninsula – 493% increase
Dana Point – 4% increase
Vacation rental demand based on traveler inquiries
Seal Beach – 8% increase
Sunset Beach – 52% increase
San Clemente – 84% increase
Laguna Beach – 58% increase
Newport Beach – 7 increase
Irvine – 64% decrease
Balboa Peninsula – 222% increase
Dana Point – 33% increase
SEAL BEACH – Barbara Barton has lived on Ocean Avenue for 42 years and, for the most part, has enjoyed the breezes, the beach and the community.
That's becoming tougher.
An influx of vacationers is spurning traditional hotels and turning to homes and apartments rented out by their owners. They are part of a growing trend in Orange County beach communities and across the nation.
But some of the short-timers bring with them lots of people and lots of problems, according to Barton and other residents.
"The quality of life, I'm afraid, is changing," Barton told the City Council last week. "Everybody loves this little small town and likes it to be Mayberry. Well, they come here for that reason and then they want to change everything about it. That's not the way we want to live."
The City Council is clamping down on the short-term vacation rentals, requiring permits even from those rentals that have been in town for years. Councilwoman Ellery Deaton asked city staff to come back with a proposal to place a moratorium on any future weekend and weekly home rentals.
In Dana Point, city officials have considered regulating the rentals since 2009. A new survey requested by the city shows that more than half of 400 voters polled believe short-term vacation rentals should be allowed. The City Council was expected to discuss the survey Tuesday night.
In Seal Beach, Deaton said the message from the community is: "We've had enough. So let's cap them."
Some residents said tourists crowd into the residential neighborhood by the beach and party late into the night.
"We don't want to be Newport. We're special. We want to protect that," resident Nancey Kredell told the council.
Newport Beach has 910 permitted registered short-term rentals on 685 properties, according to Mary Locey, that city's public information specialist. The vacationers pay a 10 percent tax, which netted the city nearly $1.5 million during the last past fiscal year.
By comparison, Seal Beach has 20 short-term rentals south of Pacific Coast Highway paying a business license tax. The rentals are not allowed elsewhere in the city.
A summer week's stay in Seal Beach ranges from approximately $1,200 for a one-bedroom unit to $9,900 for a luxury five-bedroom house on the sand, according to VRBO.com, Vacation Rentals by Owner.
To regulate partiers, Newport Beach and San Clemente both passed laws last year to target homes where at least eight people gather and cause excessive noise, public drunkenness or other "loud and unruly" behaviors. In San Clemente, fines range from $100 to $1,000. In Newport Beach, the levies go up to $3,000 for a fourth violation.
In Dana Point, 56 percent of those recently polled believe that owners should have the right to rent out their own homes. Of the respondents who knew of vacation rentals in their neighborhood, 52 percent supported more aggressive enforcement and one-third said they had experienced problems with the rentals.
In Seal Beach, short-term vacation rentals were not regulated until 2010. They existed but did not require any special permits, according to a city staff report.

After sending diehard fans into a panic with retirement talk last month, pop star Justin Bieber is back into studio mode courtesy of former G.O.O.D. Music stud Kid Cudi.
While details are slim, a new photo of Cudder receiving the Biebs treatment has surfaced online this weekend.
Justin Bieber claims that he's retiring, but he can't seem to get out of the studio. The 19-year-old superstar was recently in the lab with none other than Kid Cudi. In the photo, which he posted on Instagram, Biebs strike a pose in front of the console, while Cudder throws up the middle finger. "Studio with kid cudi," tweeted Bieber. Outside of the studio, he is hooking up again with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. He shared a photo of them cuddling, writing, "Love the way you look at me." (Rap-Up)
Last week, one of JB's reps issued a formal statement on the retirement buzz he sparked over Twitter.
Allison Kaye, GM of Scooter Braun Projects, released this statement: "Regarding his recent tweeting about his 'retirement' Justin felt that this was the best way to respond to the latest in a long line of inaccurate or wildly exaggerated media reports about him. He chose to channel his frustration into playing along with this baseless rumor and even used 'beloved' to tip off his core fans that it wasn't real. But within 20 minutes, Justin realized that fans were confused by the media reports and clarified that he was kidding. This wasn't a planned stunt, it was just another day in the life of living under the microscope. Justin loves his fans and understands that this scrutiny comes along with his success and the interest in him from fans and media." (RumorFix)
The Biebs broke the eyebrow-raising news to his 47.9 million Twitter followers on Christmas Eve.
"My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring," he tweeted late Christmas Eve.
"The media talks a lot about me.They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle."
"Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER"
"It's here. #TheTruth #BelieveMovie http://youtu.be/Dh1JFPd2mts" (Justin Bieber's Twitter)
Some media outlets immediately speculated if Bieber was really leaving the music game.
This isn't the first time that the 19-year-old singer has suggested he's reaching the twilight years of his career. Last week, he said the same thing in an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106 before quickly backtracking. But still! The chance of retirement! What pandemonium! What cruelty to the fans! But really? His new movie, Believe, comes out tomorrow, and he just released a new album, Journals, this week. So, by most measures, Bieber is still very much around for the time being. (Complex)

CMO INSIGHTS: Video Viewability - So What Now?
This is the second in a two-part series - click here to read the first.
We concluded our last post with the understanding that viewability is a post-serve metric. This bears repeating: viewability cannot be measured before an ad is served. As a result, it is impossible for a buyer of advertising to only buy viewable impressions. Still, some ad networks and media buying platforms, including TubeMogul, will offer a "Guaranteed Viewable" solution to brands and agencies. However, in this solution, the viewable CPM will be higher than the standard CPM to account for the wastage inherent in any media buy due to non-viewable impressions.
While this dynamic will always be present, creative quality and player size can mitigate the level of non-viewable impressions in a campaign. The more immediately engaging an ad is and the bigger the video player it is shown in, the more likely people are to remain on the active tab to watch the ad.
In fact, we found that player size is the best predictor of viewability.
Why is the predictive power of player size so important? It's because it's an actionable predictor! Remember how viewability is only something we can measure after the fact? Well, player size is the opposite. Player size is available before an ad impression is purchased, so we can use it as a proxy to buy viewable impressions.
In fact, we have demanded that every inventory source we work with provide us the player size of every ad impression in the real-time bid information so we can make a decision based on player size before we buy the ad impression. This will enable us to optimize our buys towards the most viewable inventory and offer a competitive viewable CPM relative to other vendors.
So where does the industry go from here? How do we come together to increase viewability across the board and give advertisers the results they expect from their investment in digital video?
The next major step the industry will take is to move to transacting on viewable impressions. But in order to do that, several things need to happen:
- First, we need consistent measurement of viewability, regardless of which technology provider is tracking viewability on a campaign. There is still too much discrepancy in the measured results provided by various providers.
- Second, publishers need to adapt to the focus on viewability. They need fewer, higher quality placements and the ability to monetize those placements at their market value.
- Third, brands need to demand the right data and metrics from their technology partners and they need to recognize that cost per viewable impressions are going to be more expensive than the standard CPM rates they are paying now.

Found June 08, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports:
PLAYERS: Timothy Bradley, Bob Arum
The Heat beat the Celtics on Thursday night to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals, and that has created a packed sports schedule for Saturday. The Celtics-Heat game is scheduled to start at 8:30pm ET, and it will be competing for viewers with Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Kings and Devils which starts at 8pm ET. There is also the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight scheduled for later in the evening, but it reportedly won't start until after the NBA game ends. According to George Willis of the New York Post, promoter Bob Arum says the fight won't start until after Game 7 ends. Big time boxing fights usually start somewhere between 11:00 and 11:30pm ET on Saturdays, but that can fluctuate depending on how quickly or slowly the undercard moves. Bob Arum didn't get to where he is by being stupid. Deceitful, yes. But stupid? No. He knows a good percentage of his audience will also be watching the Heat-Celtics game, so why infuriate them by making them ch...

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves. With a mistake so many made in their youth, this band singlehandedly torpedoed themselves from ascending to the heights in metal held by only the select few like Metallica and Megadeth before them. After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More
Nashville Outlaws
With the music industry pretty much dead anymore, nothing really comes off as shocking.

The current trend for the last half decade… Read More
Texas Hippie Coalition
I tell this story often, but it's one of my favorites of the past year. I had the chance to interview the Texas Hippie Coalition earlier this year at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio.

Sammy Hagar
I get it. You are Sammy Hagar. You've seen huge success in virtually every world you've entered. In music, he was the main focus of Montrose. He parlayed that into a very successful solo career. That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time. The bad news is it's generally spotty at best, because he simply writes and releases too much music at the same time. His band Soulfly released… Read More
With a ton of speculation and even more wonderment on this band's ability to continue on without founding members Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Slipknot has returned after far too long of a layoff with .5 THE GRAY MATTER.

Opeth simply fails as a band, at least to me. While I'll admit to never fully understanding the amazement and awe so many have for this band, I've appreciated them from afar.

Cannibal Corpse
So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly. There's an expectation of severe brutality which the band delivers time and time again. Certainly, it comes with different levels of acceptance to one's ears, but ultimately the only thing that matters if it says… Read More
Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad. Occasionally, like on FABULOUS DISASTER, they have misstepped along the way. But overall, they are one of the true powerhouses in the history of thrash metal. Since 2004… Read More
Toby Jepson
I can't tell you the number of strange looks I've received over the years when I claim two of my top five hair bands of all time to be Love/Hate and Little Angels. The overwhelming look of confusion is only equaled by the number of people that simple say, "who the fuck is that?" Little Angels was, without question, the single most underappreciated band of the hair band era. In a time that saw Def Leppard become one of the biggest bands ever, it simply should have been Little Angels. They were better musicians. They wrote much stronger songs than Leppard did with HYSTERIA on forward. They didn't sell out to make it. Most importantly, their singer Toby Jepson was just flat out better. I've always felt that "Don't Pray For Me" and "Broken Wings Of An Angel" are two of the very best ballads ever recorded in an era where careers were cemented based on a solid ballad (Motley Crue, Poison, Mr. Big, Warrant, Skid Row all found their groove based on huge ballads). It's been a lot of years since then, and big success always eluded Jepson and Little Angels, but RAISING MY OWN HELL proves that nothing has been lost with this vocalist.
An acoustic-like EP, RAISING MY OWN HELL makes it clear that the powerful pipes of Jepson have never faded. he sounds as good now as he did when the band debuted; a total crooner with amazing range, depth and soul in his sound. Listening to songs like "Patience Of A Saint", you realize right away that Jepson still brings a raw emotional aspect to everything he sings, but still has far more natural skill than most singers today. While most of his contemporaries have needed to downtune to simply make their songs presentable, Jepson showcases the fact that he sounds as good now as he did back then, going up and down the octave scale naturally and with both power and ease. The brooding "Four Letter Word" has the grit you would want from an attitude ladened song like this, and yet his sound is so smooth that you can't help but be sucked in by it. "Raising My Own Hell" sounds like it could have been ripped from the Little Angels' album YOUNG GODS, in large part because of Jepson's ability to tell a story in a compelling, and yet fun manner.
PITRIFF RATING - 96/100 - When it was announced that Jepson was a part of the Dio Disciples sharing vocals with legendary metal throat Tim "Ripper" Owens, I think most were surprised. Certainly, it didn't seem like a match. That is, unless you know Jepson's career and the wide vocal range he possesses. The acoustic RAISING MY OWN HELL is an exquisite collection of unplugged rockers that's about as good a listen as it gets for this kind of release. I may be in the minority since most never gave his band a chance back in the day, but I'm more than thrilled he's back releasing music.
