Korn – The Path of Totality Album Review
Allow me to set the stage.
Korn hadn't released a good, solid record since 2003′s Take a Look in the Mirror. That album was written with the express intent to bring the band back to its aggressive metal roots, which it successfully achieved. However, Korn lost its way once more after that album, and floated through the next seven years churning out uninspiring pablum. They were not without some measure of self-awareness as they experienced this decline in relevance since they once again tried to recapture their old magic with 2010′s blatantly titled, Remember Who You Are. Unfortunately for Korn fans, the band's memory was shot.
Now a year later, and truly teetering on their career's edge, the band has released The Path of Totality, which is striking for its declarative pronouncement that, at least for now, the rehashing is over. The band realized that if it wants to keep on trucking, it needed a wake up call or an intervention – anything really to inject some new life into a flagging sound.
Suck This Way
So did y'all watch The Grammys last night?
It wasn't awful, a lot of the collaborative performances were really good (or at the very least interesting), and the presentation seemed pretty streamlined.
That being said, here are a few of my gut reactions to the ceremony: I'm not a fan, but I don't know why everyone hates on Justin Bieber – he seems to have at least some modicum of actual talent and he's able to make fun of himself so that's a plus * Is it just me or do the actual awards seem rigged? Why is it that every year, you can pretty much take it to the bank that the artists who are scheduled to perform are the ones taking home the prizes? * I thought the retro stylings of Bruno Mars, B.o.B., and Janelle Monae was pretty neat, especially with the black-and-white camera effect * Mick Jagger continues his evolution into becoming a walking, arthritic, skeleton pirate. Seriously, do his knees even bend? * Dr. Dre definitely isn't dead or locked in your basement * The heavy metal and hard rock categories were, like usual, complete shit (these people honestly thought one of Ozzy's new songs was worth an award? Or one of Korn's new songs for that matter?!) * Cee Lo Green absolutely stole the show – what a performance and what an outfit (and Gwenyth Paltrow actually made a decent showing herself) * How can Arcade Fire win Album of the Year but not also win Best Alternative Music Album? Isn't there like some transitive property that's being ignored here?
But here's what I really wanted to get to: Lady Gaga's new song is terrible. She performed it last night, and if you haven't heard it yet, it's streaming here. I guess I might be being a bit harsh for the simple reason that I expected more from her the second time around. But "Born This Way" is as vanilla as it comes, regardless of its positive message. The music itself is the opposite of everything that's made Gaga so popular and unique. It's not daring, it's not edgy, it's not sonically interesting, and it sounds just like all the other pop crap that I thought she had separated herself from.
Agree/disagree? Let me know.
How many times can a band "go back to its original sound" before the whole thing becomes a desperate sham?
That's the question that has loomed large over Korn ever since they declared that their newest album, Korn III: Remember Who You Are, would be a return to the group's early aural stylings after enduring several years and several albums worth of misguided experimentations and lousy music.
The first time Korn pulled this trick was with Take a Look in the Mirror. That album was a reaction to what the band perceived as slow sales of Untouchables, and they wanted to bring back their hyper-aggressive sound. But it wasn't seen as a ploy because the finished product was actually pretty good.
The same cannot be said for Korn III.
Just to whet your appetite for tomorrow's release of Korn's new album, the band released a free concert video online. This is no normal video though; oh no, they are playing it in the middle of a giant crop circle they had commissioned by – get this – a company that will make crop circles for you. Am I the only one who is surprised to know that such a thing even exists? Honestly, who is their target demographic? American farmers who've been so overly subsidized by the government to grow nothing but corn? And what ever happened to the old days when you mowed your own damn gigantic shapes in the middle of a corn field while walking uphill both ways?!
Anyways, this concert is pretty good and if nothing else, it's a reminder that Korn can still rip it up live. I haven't seen Korn in person since Head left the band (and it turns out that crazy Jesus-freak was the riff-genius behind this band's success; seriously just ask an incredibly liquored up Munky, he'll tell you), but when I did see them they were absolutely amazing. This concert seems to suggest that they haven't turned to shit as a live band, which is nice. Hearing the opening riff of "Here To Stay" still gets me going.
Stay tuned this week for my review of Korn III, and in the meantime enjoy the free concert:
2Cents recently began touring with Korn as part of the Jagermeister Spring Music Tour. The band will be touring in support of their latest hard-hitting release, Dress to Kill – which was released April 20th. The album manages to capture intensity and melody together, in one badass approach. Oh yeah, I just definitely described it like that. For some proof, check out some of the standout singles such as, "Get What?" and "Now You Know."
"Get What?" is currently moving up the charts; currently sitting on the Mediabase Active Rock chart at #25. We're noticing the track more and more on the radio, too, so that number should only move closer to #1 in the coming weeks with the tour with Korn.
The folks at antimusic.com got the inside scoop on "Get What?" – here is frontman Adam O'Rourke's tale on the track after the jump. continue reading
Sevendust are back with their eighth album, which is pretty amazing for a band who made their name back in the nu-metal heydays of the late 90s. Most of the other bands that sprung up around that time are long since gone, but Sevendust have been grinding away this whole time, keeping up a remarkable schedule of releasing a new album pretty much every other year.
Cold Day Memory is an important milestone for the band because it marks the return of guitarist/vocalist Clint Lowery back into the fold. He had previously left the band after the Seasons album to work with Dark New Day and Korn.
His return is being widely hailed as a return to form for the band, but in all honesty the sonic differences are hardly noticeable. I'm sure the reunification of Sevendust's original lineup meant a lot to the band's chemistry and how they operated in the studio, but the end results are still very much like the preceding seven albums – with Lowery or without.

At Amherst College on October 26, 1963, less than a month before he was assassinated, JFK spoke about human tragedy, about overcoming despair . . .
Our national strength matters, but the spirit which informs and controls our strength matters just as much. Robert Frost's sense of the human tragedy fortified him against self-deception and easy consolation. 'I have been one acquainted with the night,' he wrote, and because he knew the midnight as well as the high noon, because he understood the ordeal as well as the triumph of the human spirit, he gave his age strength with which to overcome despair.
Robert Frost held a deep faith in the spirit of man, he saw poetry as the means of saving power from itself. When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
Tragically, power has corrupted the entire political establishment, the history of the last 50 years has revealed the moral degeneracy of this nation's leaders.
Are we truly men of integrity? Are we men who never ran out on either the principles in which we believe or the people who believed in them as well? Are we men whom neither financial gain nor political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred trust? Are we truly men of dedication and honor, serving no single individual or group, compromised by no private obligation or aim, but devoted solely to serving the public good and the national interest?
We know the answers. Most of America's leaders have no integrity.
They have no principles.
They have no honor.
But millions of Americans still have integrity, they still have principles, they still have honor, they're still looking forward to what America can be . . .
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past, and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future. I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens.
We can get there. We have been acquainted with the night, but no night lasts forever, a new day always comes . . .
Too many of us think that peace is impossible, too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable, that mankind is doomed, that we are gripped by forces we cannot control. We need not accept that view. Our problems are man-made, therefore, they can be solved by man.
Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit.
This night isn't over yet, but we can leave our despair behind. We can bring that new day ever closer. Believe in yourself, believe in the human spirit within all of us. It's too big to fail . . .

Hi all
I know this is not the ideal place to ask a question about
Android--but I hope someone here can help confirm my suspicions.I wanted to create some circuit tools using the 1/8" stereo output +
line input jack on my android phone (a droid razr). To start with,
I've got a simple signal generator (built with PdDroidParty)--and what
I found is that there is a high-pass filter on the output. It is
mostly unsurprising, but what *kind* of high-pass filter is it?If it was just a RC impedance on the output, I could compensate for
that. However, it seems likely that there's a high-pass filter in the
software, or somewhere else.When I drive it to clipping with a combination of sine tone and dc
offset, the noise characteristic is weird. The pitch of the distorted
tone goes down, and there's a very steep transition between the
undistorted and distorted tone. The distorted tone is also much
louder. I'm typically testing with a tone at about 1kHz, but I've
been sweeping through a lot of frequencies to see what happens. The
symptom is the same whether it's played through the speaker or a set
of headphones.It's got to be a software filter, DAC hardware, or output amplifier
circuit. If I could identify that, it would help me figure out
whether this project is feasible or not.I'd like to make hardware that plugs in to the 1/8" jack to create:
1. signal generator
2. RLC meter
... up to ...
linear/non-linear systems identification tools
audio spectrum analyzer
audio oscilloscopeUSB hardware is mostly out of my league--and for the effort required,
there's no guarantee of success. Small steps, first.Chuck

I think because of the drought, I have had very few flowers this year on my hosta's. Any one else notice this?

Follow-Up Postings:
I was thinking of posting the same thiing. Assuming the chic means you are in or around Chicago, we probably have had very similar conditions. I'm in Wilmington. My very dependible Guacamole only sent up a single scape this year. Yet my Fried Green Tomatoes, 1/4 the size of Guac., sent up 8. Does the drought have more effect on the larger more mature plants because of their greater requirements? I also haven't heard about less flowering from other areas in "Hostaland". I can't perceive it being a local condition. Les |

yep on the south side, dry, very dry up until this Saturday we finally had an inch of rain. |
In the area also...even with watering I think the heat had an effect on most of the plants. A praying hands, that is 3 ft across, always has a big display of flowers had only 2 scapes compared to over 30. Just keep watering it's going to be hot again today. |
Will a happy healthy hosta produce a flower scape from every eye? Is that the 'goal'? Jan |

Dual-Purpose AV Addresses Intelligibility
The renowned Aspen Music Festival and School, a classical music festival and academy, is a mecca for pros and prodigies alike as the classical world turns its ears toward Aspen, CO, each summer.
CHALLENGE: Design and install a sound system that can address the conflicting requirements of good speech intelligibility and amplified music reinforcement, without destroying natural acoustics for orchestral music.
SOLUTION: Carefully select the optimal audio system components, and implement precise aiming and extensive use of prediction and control software.
The Aspen Music Festival and School features concrete flooring, wooden seating, and a tiered, highly reflective wood stage surrounded by a steel superstructure framed with fabric to form a permanent tent. While beneficial in a concert hall, these features also helped to degrade intelligibility for other events.
The renowned Aspen Music Festival and School, a classical music festival and academy, is a mecca for pros and prodigies alike as the classical world turns its ears toward Aspen, CO, each summer. Both maestros and students have been making the pilgrimage for 57 years not only to perform, but to learn, teach, and witness debates of social issues confronting the world.
Although the students and attendees addressed important challenges, Chicago-based acoustical consulting firm Kirkegaard Associates was faced with solving an immediate dilemma for the festival. In a space known for its poor speech intelligibility, the firm needed to reinforce sound for the spoken word and dramatic segments of the festival without audibly or visibly intruding on the classical music performances.
Although Kirkegaard Associates is recognized for its designs in a variety of well-known venues, the setting in Aspen presented some difficult design obstacles. It has a tiered, highly reflective wood stage surrounded by a steel superstructure framed with fabric to form a permanent tent. The flooring in front of the stage is concrete with wooden seating throughout. While beneficial as design elements in creating the desired reverberance of a concert hall, they're also responsible for degrading intelligibility when the sound system isn't properly designed for the conditions.
After the installation of the JBL VT4888 VerTec line array clusters was completed in the Aspen venue, Chicago-based acoustical consulting firm Kirkegaard Associates tuned the system using SIA Software's SmaartLive system measurement tool.
"We started out discussing with them a way to install a speech system," says Richard Laidman, senior consultant with Kirkegaard Associates. "The previous system was comprised of distributed point source boxes. With a concert hall reverb time of around 4 seconds unoccupied and 2 seconds occupied, achieving good intelligibility with that system was nearly impossible. We investigated a few different approaches such as steerable line arrays and other, small curvilinear line arrays with limited low frequency range."
Yet, Aspen's representatives also mentioned that they might want to support singers that play with Pops-type orchestras and satisfy other vocal criteria.
"That immediately put up a flag for us," Laidman says. "We knew then that we needed a high-quality system with a level of control that could handle speech well, but that could also address any extra needs for reinforcement, even though the music currently programmed in the tent doesn't have a big requirement for amplification."
Adding to the acoustical challenges in the reverberant space and the multiple criteria were aesthetic issues. A major objective for the producers of the Aspen event, or any other classical event, is to add unobtrusive reinforcement.
Chicago-based acoustical consulting firm Kirkegaard Associates used two clusters of six JBL VT4888 VerTec line arrays and two JBL AM4200/64 mid/high enclosures mounted behind the line arrays for side fill. The clusters were rigged with two 1-ton chain hoists for each cluster, with the clusters' locations aligned so that the hoists can drop through the steel trusses that support the canopy.
Thinking that line arrays would fit the bill, Kirkegaard used JBL's Line Array Calculator program, which suggests an optimum array while allowing for any adjustments in the number of cabinets and specific rigging requirements. The firm designed and installed the original acoustic space in Aspen, so Kirkegaard took its old drawings and inserted graphics of the new speakers, and then submitted it for the festival owner's approval.
Because the steel and wood structure that supports the tent rises 30 feet above the seating area, and the seating wraps around in front of the stage, the calculator showed that line arrays would provide excellent direct coverage, but would require some side fill to cover the extreme right and left portions of the seating, as well as front fill to cover the closest rows. Aspen's existing four JBL Marquis MS26 loudspeakers handled this task well.
After the array calculator provided some direction, Kirkegaard tweaked the design to open the splay angle of the line array cabinets a bit wider. The information from the calculator was transferred into the EASE computer modeling program to determine how the performance modeled over the entire seating area, both horizontally and vertically. Laidman says that the ability to model the JBL VerTec products in EASE, as well as in the JBL Array Calculator greatly simplified the task.
It was in creating the EASE model that Kirkegaard discovered the tiered seats closest to the stage weren't getting enough coverage above 2 kHz without the use of side fills.
"We used zoned monaural, left, and right clusters, although they can be run in stereo," Laidman says. "We chose two clusters of six JBL VT4888 VerTec line arrays because we had experience with them, appreciated their consistency and focus, and liked the sound. For the side fills, we used two JBL AM4200/64 mid/high enclosures mounted behind the line arrays. Because all the JBL product categories are voiced similarly, they blended very well acoustically, and we barely noticed the transition as we walked around the seating area (see sidebar)."
The VerTec line arrays offer narrow vertical pattern control, complemented by side fills that radiate energy only where they're focused, and the front fills provide a tight focusing of the energy, resulting in intelligibility and clarity. After completion, the system was tuned using SIA Software's SmaartLive sound system measurement tool.
"We use Smaart, because it lets us look beyond a lot of room issues when using its transfer function mode", he says. We use it on a regular basis because it's fast to set up, and provides a good assessment of the loudspeakers' performance so we can get accurate adjustment of the measured EQ curve." Laidman adds that adjusting the measured curve is the start of good EQ, but that the subtle adjustments using the human ear complete the job.
Signal processing required some additions to the existing BSS Audio Soundweb Green system. Because all of its outputs were used, a Soundweb 9088 was added, along with a dbx DriveRack 4800 for direct control of the signal processing.
Powering the speakers was another issue. The existing rack room was out of space and the distance to the clusters would require very large wire and conduit.
To address this, the design called for JBL VT4888DPs self-powered loudspeakers, which include integral Crown amplifiers that attach to the back of the cabinets. The speakers are adjustable, and can be monitored using Harman Pro Group's HiQnet networking protocol via the DPAN cards in the Crown amps.
The design of the HiQnet system, the power and audio cabling requirements, and the rigging were on a tight schedule with the festival to open in less than two weeks.
"It helped that they had existing DSP, and the routing and DSP that we added to it was smooth because the HiQnet system talked to everything," says Albert Lechesse, president of Audio Analysts, the Colorado Springs-based sound company that handled rigging and the implementation of the HiQnet system. "Also it makes for an electronic system that was easy to adjust."
The clusters were rigged with two 1-ton chain hoists for each cluster for a total of four, with the clusters' locations aligned so that the hoists can drop through the steel trusses that support the canopy. All of the cable runs were directed there as well.
Because the electrician had already run power lines for lighting, the installers only had to run powered multi-cable, six-circuit multi-cord for the amplifiers. "We just had to install a conduit for the audio," Lechesse says.
Six 20 amp circuits were allotted for both stage left and right. Audio Analysts also ran Cat5 cable for control, and added an Ethernet switch on the grid so they didn't have to run lines to each speaker. In all, the cabling comprised one power multi-pin, one Cat5, and one audio cable.

You won't find Let Them Eat Cake!'s indulgent cake recipes published anywhere, since founder Paulette Coffman and her daughters Brittany and Chelsea fiercely guard their culinary secrets from competitors and town criers. But an interview with Sacramento Press in 2010 reveals three signature flavors that are served each day: red velvet, Guinness Stout chocolate, and vanilla. "We're really kind of geared towards childhood favorites," Paulette divulged. "But we're also a little bit more innovative…You can find your standard red velvet here, but you can also find a margarita cupcake here."
In fact, the mother-daughter trio's three staple flavors are joined by a weekly rotation of 24 flavors, and customers can also commission more than 80 other flavors—including vegan and gluten-free options—via special order. These desserts always include real butter, fruits, and pure vanilla, and forgo preservatives since they're baked fresh each morning. Paulette, Brittany, and Chelsea stack the cupcakes into towers, line them up in boxes, and fashion them together as specialty cakes, donating $2 of their Flavor of the Month sales each Wednesday to charity. Alongside steaming mugs of Ritual coffee and Mighty Leaf tea, the Coffman women also dole out scones, breakfast sandwiches, and gourmet cookies that, like hand weights divvied up in a divorce settlement, weigh in at a 1/4-pound each.
Touting more than 50 flavors of low-calorie, flavor-packed frozen yogurt, Tutti Frutti earned a feature on CNBC and has continued to expand since opening its first shop in 2007. Inside each store, self-service yogurt machines unleash velvety-soft yogurt into accommodating cups or empty purses. Their constantly rotating flavors include royal red velvet, refreshing guava, or choco-peanut-butter. Most flavors fall within the range of 30–40 calories per ounce, with dairy-free options and no-sugar-added concoctions also available. A toppings bar allows eaters to further customize yogurt creations with a spoonful of fresh fruits or a sprinkling of nuts. Their flavors contain ample amounts of probiotics, known for potential health benefits that may include strengthening immune systems and lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
If you ask chef Lek Saicheur where her recipes come from, she may regale you with stories of the bustling open-air markets of Bangkok, Thailand, where vendors peddle fiery noodles and sizzling fried fish. While pursuing her master's degree at U.C. Davis, Saicheur shared these dishes with her fellow students in Thai cooking classes. Their enthusiastic response compelled her to eventually open up her own Thai restaurant—Thai Recipes.
Deep in the kitchen, Saicheur and her sister whip up a variety of traditional curries and noodle dishes. The aromas of fresh basil, spicy peppers, and garlic flood the air as the sisters simmer meats in pure canola oil or liquid hot magma. They complement their plates of pad thai, green chicken curry, and stir-fried clams with bottles of imported Thai beer and glasses of cool coconut water. Thai Recipes also purifies it's water by using a reverse osmosis system.
The chefs at Sushi Unlimited combine their eye for artistry with fresh ingredients to create sushi rolls and hearty entrees. Their signature rolls pay homage to elements of nature as well as local sports teams. For instance, chefs pack the Raiders roll with deep-fried shrimp and spicy tuna before hacking it into pieces with a cutlass and serving it on a wooden plank. As for traditional cooked dishes, the culinary team charbroils fresh salmon steaks for teriyaki plates and deep-fries tempura-style shrimp and vegetables.
At the Davis location, a red accent wall behind the bar vivifies the selection of Japanese sake and beer. The Folsom restaurant boasts a marble-topped sushi bar and wooden columns painted in a whimsical purple. Dotted with flat-screen televisions, the Roseville location has a casual vibe.
Run by a duo of longtime friends with a mutual love for baking, Cupcake Craving rocketed to popularity from its modest beginnings?within a year of the first store?s grand opening, Sacramento Magazine awarded it the Diners? Choice Award for the area?s best cupcake. Since then, the bakery has become a mainstay on CityVoters and KCRA 3's top-five dessert lists, and its handcrafted creations continue to earn new fans. Artful swirls of buttercream or cream-cheese frosting top the bakery?s diminutive cupcakes, which come in more than 20 traditional and signature flavors. The bakery can also handle orders for large parties and special occasions; an on-site artist designs custom cupcake cakes with special flavors and decorations to celebrate birthdays and welcome new gallons of milk into the home.
At Kathmandu Kitchen, kebabs of free-range chicken, lamb, and other meats marinate in aromatic blends of yogurt, garlic, and herbs before they're roasted in the tandoor oven's mesquite-tinged heat. This adherence to iconic ingredients and cooking techniques helps to imbue Kathmandu's cuisine with the distinctive flavors that define Indian and Nepali food. In addition to cooking these meaty entrees, the chefs also demonstrate their mastery of the region's multitudinous vegetarian offerings, including housemade paneer cheese cooked with a vibrant assortment of herbs, vegetables, and spices.
Deep earth tones fill the entire dining room, which includes a functioning fireplace in the center of a solid brick hearth. From time to time, a live belly dancer will glide through the dining room, impressing patrons as she deftly rights crooked tables with a bump of her hip.

Smoke clears on fire pits in Palos Hills
Cooking on outdoor fire pits is here to stay in Palos Hills despite the pleas of one resident to ban the smoky practice.
Susan Urbanksi told officials during a recent Legislation and Ordinance Committee meeting that smoke from neighbors' pits were destroying an otherwise pleasant quality of life. Urbanski said the fire pits should be outlawed because the smoke was a nuisance, triggered asthma attacks and spread no matter where the holes were placed.
"Although I like fire pits, I'm having a problem with neighbors nearby burning," said Urbanski, a resident for more than 20 years. "I just want to have some quality of life in my own domain."
While Ald. Pauline Stratton and several other aldermen suggested calling police or fire officials when smoke was excessive, Urbanski said she already had and wanted to avoid that "excessive measure." Other aldermen said the majority should rule, citing the many residents who want the right to use the pits.
"We cannot possibly ban fire pits because there's a lot of people who really do enjoy them," said Ald. Mary Ann Schultz .
Ronald Culen, who frequently cooks on a fire pit, said when a neighbor complained about smoke, a police warning was enough to set him straight. Culen said fire pits should be allowed as long as they are used properly.
"I don't think you need to add any more teeth to this," said Culen. "Quite honestly, there's a lot of worse things out there."
Ald. Joe Marrotta said he had received lengthy emails from residents in favor of fire pits.
"I had people tell me if we ban fire pits, they want cottonwood trees banned," he said.
Several years ago, the City Council held heated discussions on fire pits after several residents complained; scores of others defended the practice. Aldermen opted to allow the pits but added several provisions, including that police and fire officials be authorized to order a resident's fire pit extinguished if it was considered either a nuisance or dangerous. Citations range from $35 to $500.
Ald. Marty Kleefisch, who brought up the earlier discussions, said recently he had wanted stronger restrictions, including a limit on the use of pits between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. But he conceded there was too much opposition from other aldermen to keep trying for more limits.
Kleefisch suggested getting the word out to all residents about the proper use of the pits and controlling smoke, including a mass mailing in city newsletters, future water bills and posting on the municipal website. Urbanski agreed and dropped the idea of a ban at the meeting.
"Ultimately what it comes down to is consideration on the part of one neighbor for another," said Kleefisch, after the meeting. "If it doesn't bother them, they don't give it a second thought."

Spain is a gastronomic Nirvana for foodies, with towns, cities and regions all boasting delicious local specialities. However, we've tasted our way through España to give you the inside scoop on the best places to taste tantalising tapas and other Spanish delicacies! From cosy and obscure to super chic and incredibly sleek, these Spanish hotspots are not to be missed.
My Mum is a pretty good cook. So is my friend Lottie. Last time I went round to her house for dinner, she had spent 24 hours tending to some pork. It was spectacular. That said, neither my mother or Lottie can claim to be the World's Greatest Female Chef. Elena Arzak can - she was crowned as such in 2012.
Nice. Little. And independent. It's what I often crave from a meal out. There's something about the service, the attention to detail and the quality of the food that allows you to differentiate between a person who genuinely cares about their restaurant to a person who solely cares about their profit.
Eating and drinking aside, there is an array of culture to soak up in Madrid. On arrival I had thought differently. I couldn't list anything I particularly wanted to see or do, with no famous landmarks pitching it as a competitor to Paris. But I was wrong and soon discovered the history that lay deep in old Madrid.

User reviews for The Italian Job
4.2 / 10
Combined Score
Everything else.....
I know that I have reviewed a lot of "bad-rated" games, and I promise to stop, but The Italian Job is just a cheaper way to see the movie. The movie is fun. The game is not. Let me tell you why. The voices seem drab and monotone, and it makes the game very boring. The scoring system is terrible too. Sure, they give you points for doing stunts and driving long distances, but they deduct points for POOR DRIVING!!!!! Can you hear what I AM SAYING?!!!! Sure, it seems pretty understandable that it subtracts points for resetting your vehicle after a flooped stunt, but you are also losing points for HITTING TRAFFIC AND DAMAGING YOUR CAR!!! THIS IS THE ITALIAN JOB, NOT E-Z DRIVING SCHOOL!!! JEEZ!!! The car physics seem like you are in E-Z Driving School as well. It's nothing real special. Just drab, flat-out driving with poor car physics. If you are a true fan of the movie and like racing as one of those cans with the sheep ...

Can you try a system restore from the Advanced Boot Menu: Advanced Boot Options If this doesn't resolve, do you have a system disk for OS? if so try doing a startup repair which will fix issues with Explorer: Startup Repair long startup sounds like maybe a driver issue or some other installed software. Were there any new programs installed recently? updates? new hardware? You can try running DriverVerifier to see if any driver issues are causing this: Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers If these don't fix the issue, then it might be a hardware issue. If you have a disk with Ubuntu, running it as a live CD is a good way to tell if your hardware is ok (generally) I will be away for a bit, but I hope this helps point you in the right direction, also if you get a chance, fill in your system specs, It helps users help you |

Do you have a Win7 Install Disk?
Also, At this point I would suggest getting a liveCD with Ubuntu and seeing if it crashes under that as well. This will not use the win7 OS and if it crashes on liveCD, then you most likely have a problem with hardware. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD (note: the liveCD does not use your hard drive so if liveCD works, hard-drive might still be an issue) |

Watching Apple & Scotland with Russell Brand
Amazing that Apple has so much money offshore it could end world poverty in a heartbeat (monitor)…and I find it odd the conversation about the iCloud hacks has avoided talking about NSA and spying implications for cloud storage (which Russell isn't interested in covering, which I understand as it's a bit of a sideshow issue involving celebrity and a few people getting on a moral high horse for their own profile).
The problem with iCloud, Dropbox et al is they don't encrypt their storage and only give the key to their users unlike SpiderOak and others…they don't want to make the access much harder to hackers as it will affect the state security using the same hacks.
And not sure I totally agree with his take on Scottish Independence though, that devolution is always the best thing. I've mostly avoided talking it here, because the debate on both sides has been appallingly bad – yes scare tactics on the No side, but Yes haven't convinced me that they aren't putting their eggs in a basket marked 'Oil' or 'Major Corporates' or 'No Nukes, well Not Really cos NATO sez'. I'm glad he touches on the oil thing, it's really bothered me that the green side has not been put forward as both sides squabble about amounts of oil, and nation states being completely problematic to begin with. It is strange someone who doesn't want to play the game of electoral voting, understandably pointing out it's supporting a system that isn't working – then fine with this vote, which reeks of the same self-interests and propaganda from both sides?
I don't think creating a new state will mean a closer trickle down of power…it might, and the power would be located closer to Scotland, but with the same bosses, same bullshit, different flag. It's not true revolution, or even true freedom to change your current masters for others. Do I think Scotland would be better off independent – Yes. Do I think what has been proposed is workable? No. Where are the Scottish socialist on this? A lot of radio silence from the greens and left (no, Labour are not left wing!)…I suspect they're mostly keeping quiet to see what happens then will mobilise if the vote is Yes. I hope so…because they're probably the best hope for Nukes to leave and oil/corporate interests to not take over…the whole idea that Scotland has to be sold by the Pound (or Euro, or dram) will be presented as a necessary evil, to preserve those grants and free NHS, mark my words.

Gamers of all kinds exist in all walks of life. While some might talk about it as a life style or a sub-culture, the reality is that people of all professions and ages love their games. The latest cross over is this gaming inspired dance from Dancing with the Stars, and it will blow you away.
Because of course it was. Nintendo has this bizarre habit of shoehorning its biggest star, that moustachioed plumber in to all manner of game in which he rightly doesn't belong. And according to Edge, he was very nearly the star of Nintendo's new shooter IP, Splatoon.
I have a weird relationship with Mario sports games. Is videogame golf more or less of an experience when Mario is involved? I say he doesn't add much to any sports game and rest assured, the same is true in World Tour. It might actually be for the better.
You know how Gavin said that Microsoft threw away their advantage gained from Xbox 360? Well, Nintendo has done far worse - after the massive success of the Wii, the Wii U has been a major flop. Now, Nintendo needs to re-evaluate their business.
I've got a soft spot for the Nintendo Direct conferences that pop up every month. They're humble slices of gaming news, stripped off all that Hollywood teaser jazz nonsense, and get right down to business. Nintendo didn't stray too far from their usual conferences last night, but they're certainly taking one or two game characters in unexpected directions.
Virtually a year ago back in January 2013 I posted the first two episodes of Mario Warfare and at the time stated that the acting was absolutely awful.
Ah, the Wii U, this generation's Dreamcast. I love my Wii U, but there honestly aren't many games that I want to play on it. Now, ex-Sony developer Kenny Linder is predicting that this is the last year we'll see any mention of Nintendo's next-gen console.
Sometimes two companies come together for a partnership that makes sense, and other times the collaboration seems a bit tenuous. In a strange twist, Nintendo has partnered with SouthWest Airlines in the States. To kick off that partnership, Nintendo let Mario surprise a bunch of passengers.
Here's both good and bad news for people who worship at the church of Miyamoto; While legendary designed Shigeru Miyamoto likely won't be working on the next game in the Mario franchise, his creativity won't be going to waste.
In 2007, something inconceivable happened: platform mascots Mario and Sonic joined forces as the champions of their very own crossover game, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games – a collection of sport-centric minigames. It did well enough to spawn an entire franchise; the thing is now a biennial staple to celebrate both the Summer and Winter games.
For some reason, many are convinced that Nintendo is doomed (it's not) and that the best course of action for the Japanese company would be to do a SEGA; abandon the hardware business and stick to just making those incredible games. Well, it's not happening.
In case you haven't heard yet, the Wii U is selling for a mere R999 today at Toys R Us. That's a bloody good price. But you're going to need a game to go with it, and that costs a tad bit more. So what games should you buy? Well, if you value our magnificent opinions, then click on through for a list of games that we've reviewed on the Wii U so far.
Way back in February 2010 Geoff posted an amazing list of gaming bento boxes that blew me away. However it looks like the moms and dads of Asian kids have been hard at work as this next list leaves those in the dust.
As much as I appreciate the skill and artistry that goes in to cosplay, I have to admit to secretly judging those who participate. I know I shouldn't ; it's okay that you lot are weird and want to play dress up. I'm weird too, and have a number of eccentricities that would likely cause you to raise an eyebrow. We're all just people, and that's cool. When people start dressing their pets up though, then I think the raised brows are justified.

Gear Review
Casey Glaubman
great sound, well worth it
I love skiing with music. For some reason I can't ski with ear buds in my ears. It seems to affect my balance. Having these however is great because i have music rockin' and i can still hear my skis on the snow and other things around me as well. I had the older version which were just the pads with speakers permanently in them. I think these ones are a big improvement. The integration is smoother, my old plugs would sometimes come out. Additionally the button to stop the music/hang up the phone is much less likely to accidentally get pushed than was the previous model. I'm using these with the Smith Maze helmet.

BlueClaws Blow Lead and Lose in Extras
It was another late inning disaster that cost the Lakewood BlueClaws a possible victory. The BlueClaws would lose 5-3 to the Delmarva Shorebirds in 12 innings after blowing a 3-0 lead.
Early on, it the BlueClaws looked great after their off day on Wednesday. In the first inning, the BlueClaws scored two runs. One on a solo home run by second baseman Andrew Pullin and then a RBI single by DH Willians Astudillo. Pullins would come up big again for the BlueClaws in the second inning with a RBI single to give Lakewood a 3-0 lead. Pullen said on his great performance at the plate "It was good. I mean I was doing whatever I could to help the team win. It felt great getting a home run tonight as well but unfortunately it wasn't enough to get the win." Pullin overall went 3 for 6 on the night and his home run was his eighth of the season. Unfortunately for the BlueClaws after Pullin's RBI single, they wouldn't score again for the rest of the game.
With a 3-0 lead, BlueClaws starting pitcher Jon Prosinski pitched great to keep Lakewood in the lead. Prosinski pitched six solid innings giving up only two runs on three hits and struck out two. Prosinski on his start said "I felt I had great command of my fast ball tonight. and that allowed me to get a lot of ground ball outs. Overall I felt I had a good outing out there." Talk about ground ball outs, 12 of the 18 outs Prosinski had in the game were ground outs. Another thing that helped Prosinski have a good start is the fact that he has pitched against Delmarva a lot this season. Prosinski said "I think I've pitched against Delmarva five times this season. I have a pretty good understanding of their hitters and what they want to do." Prosinski left the game with a 3-2 lead but unfortunately for him and the BlueClaws the bullpen couldn't keep that lead intact.
In the eighth inning, Delmarva would get a RBI single off BlueClaws relief pitcher Delvi Francisco to tie the game at 3-3 and eventually send the game into extra innings.
In extra innings, BlueClaws relief pitcher Aaron Baker did all he could to keep Lakewood tied with Delmarva. Baker looked great in his first two innings of work for the BlueClaws, which included striking out five straight batters. Baker, though, unfortunately ran out of gas in his third inning of work in the 12th inning, where he would give up two runs giving Delmarva a 5-3 lead and ultimately the victory.
On the loss, Prosinski said "Every day, you know, the goal is t get the win. So losing this one which went 12 innings is a tough one to swallow."
With the loss, the BlueClaws drop to 18-28 in the second half of the season and are now on a two game losing streak. The BlueClaws will play the rest of the four games in this five game series with Delmarva over the weekend which includes a double header Friday.
Game Notes: BlueClaws DH Willians Astudillo RBI single in the first inning was his 52nd RBI of the season and is now tied with RF Dylan Cozens for the most RBI's on the team. BlueClaws relief pitcher Joey DeNato picked off a runner in the eighth inning and now has picked off four runners in his last five appearances.

Microsoft has claimed that the creation of its all-new 250GB Xbox 360 is the final step in its solving of the console's biggest problem: The Red Ring Of Death.
Speaking to CVG exclusively at E3 in Los Angeles today, Director of Global Marketing for Xbox 360 Albert Pernello said that the Red Ring problem had "pretty much gone away".
The very sleek new 250GB Xbox 360 was announced at E3 this morning by Microsoft top dog Don Mattrick - in a conference that was focused on the firm's new 'Kinect' camera device.
It houses one fan - which Microsoft claims makes it a quieter machine than existing SKUs, which contain two.
"When you say [Red Ring] is an old problem, you've got to go really old. It's unfortunate, and I'm not trying to dismiss it. It hurts me personally when that happens. But it hasn't really happened for a while. The stuff we're seeing is only really happening to people with launch consoles.
"If you have a console from the last two or three years, that problem has pretty much gone away.
"The only thing that bums me out is that there are 40 million of them out there, and someone's going to get [a red ring] and it almost gets magnified. The hard part is it gets magnified versus the reality.
"We wanted to make sure that this [250GB Xbox 360] is rock steady, rock solid."

Muscle pain, weakness or numbness may be symptoms of a neuromuscular disorder. At the Neuromuscular Laboratory at Rhode Island Hospital, physicians use specialized tests called nerve conduction studies and electromyogram (also known as EMG) to perform functional examinations on muscles and nerves.
Nerve conduction studies use a small amount of electrical stimulation to assess the function of nerves. An EMG evaluates how well the muscle and nerves are communicating by recording electrical signals between the two. Abnormal function of nerves, muscles or communication between the two can signal a neuromuscular disease.
Nerve conduction studies and EMGscan be used to evaluate for:
For more complicated neuromuscular conditions we also offer:
The Neuromuscular Laboratory features three state-of-the-art electromyography machines that can perform a wide variety of tests. The tests are supervised by physicians board certified in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. In emergency situations, the lab has the ability to fast track patients, making it possible to be seen and have results communicated to your physician on the same day. The normal turnaround time for reports is 24 to 48 hours.
Patients and referring physicians experience:

PATNA: The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has appointed S N Bhowe and Associates Private Ltd, a Mumbai-based firm, to prepare the detailed project report (DPR) for the renovation of Mahatma Gandhi Setu. The firm is scheduled to submit its DPR to the NHAI later this month, said road construction minister Nand Kishore Yadav in the legislative council on Monday.
Replying to a question of Kedar Nath Pandey (CPI), the minister admitted that traffic jam at the bridge had become a regular phenomenon because of sharp increase in the number of vehicles crossing over it.
The minister said the ministry of surface transport and highways had transferred the stretch from 207.2km to 222km on NH-19, which includes Mahatma Gandhi Setu, to the NHAI through a gazette notification on September 28, 2011. The inspection of the river bridge was in progress. Soon after the submission of DPR, the NHAI would invite tender for the renovation and maintenance of the bridge, he said.
Yadav also said the stretch on the NH-31, from Bakhtiyarpur to Khagaria via Mokama, had been identified for a four-lane road under National Highway Development Programme (NHDP-3). The NHAI has floated tender for the project and work would start in the current financial year itself, he said.
Replying to another question, the minister said the Centre, from 2005 till 2011, had sanctioned Rs 1029.99 crore, against the state demand of Rs 3243.59 crore, for the repair of national highways in Bihar. The state government had sent 409 proposals but the Centre sanctioned only 162, he said.
Replying to a question of Neeraj Kumar of JD (U), the minister said out of the state demand of Rs 142.76 crore for repair of NH in 2011-12, the Centre sanctioned Rs 5.93 crore only.

Toyota Has Recordbreaking Output In 2013
The Japanese automaker produced slightly more than 10 million cars in 2013. The record output was due largely to high demand from car dealers and showrooms in China and the U.S.

Talking about a lot of cars here. The Japanese automaker produced slightly more than 10 million cars in 2013. The record-breaking output was due largely to high demand from car dealers and showrooms in the United States and in China.
Now, those are cars produced. When it comes to cars sold, no automaker has hit the 10 million mark in a year, though Toyota came close last year, selling 9.9 million of their cars worldwide.

1 in 12 Illinois Bridges Deficient
A national transportation advocacy groups says 1 in 12 Illinois bridges are structurally deficient.
Transportation for America looked at national highway data to come up with the number, which comes out to about 8 percent.
David Schnieder is the county engineer for Schuyler County. He said just under 10 percent of bridges on township roads in his county are deficient.
He said as bridges age, more will become deficient if investment isn't made now.
"Eventually there is going to come a time where if you let so much go, and then so much more, that stacking or that compounding effect will be a major factor."
McDonough County Engineer, Tom Hickman, said 12 percent of the bridges in his county are deficient. He said the highway department has started building bridges in house instead of hiring contractors, to save money.
He added that the money they receive in grant money every year for bridges on township roads, doesn't cover the cost of replacing one bridge.
In addition, he said McDonough County has several bridges sitting on wooden pilings that will need to be replaced soon.
According to Hancock County Engineer, Elgin Berry ,15 percent of the bridges in his county are considered deficient.

I have noticed that some of the recipes (here and other sites) that contain alcohol are to be added to other ingredients that have been heated and are still hot. I always thought that heating alcohol took the 'punch' out of it by evaporation so it was non-alcoholic. Shoot!! this sounds kinda' confusing but hope you know what I mean. Have I been wrong about this all these years? Would appreciate any opinions on this. Thanks in advance. BT |
Follow-Up Postings:
You'll lose a little bit of alcohol, but most likely not enough to make a difference to your beverage's taste or potancy. Alcohol (ethanol) boils at about 173 degrees. To give that a reference point, when you order your latte from Starbuck "extra hot" it comes to you at about 175 degrees. Although water (and most mixers will be pretty close to this) boils at 212 degrees, adding the room temperature alcohol to even boiling liquid will cool the mixture's temperature so that you won't boil off too much alcohol. Most likely the other ingrediants won't be hot enough to boil anyway. Just be sure to remove from heat first and you should be fine. |
When you add alcohol to a drink, you aren't adding it for the alcohol but for the other flavorers in the cooze. I have also seen studies showing just how long it takes to boil off the alcohol in wine and in brandy. Ever have say Cherrys jubilee or bananas Foster? There ius lots of flavor from the liquors added. Linda C |
