Beck Interviews Tom Waits!
Beck's official web site is quickly becoming one of the most innovative in the music biz. First, the singer launched the Record Club, a project that has him and some famous friends covering classic albums like The Velvet Underground and Nico. Next, he announced plans to stream a weekly DJ mix set called Planned Obsolescence. Now, he's interviewing fellow-Angelino Tom Waits.
Irrelevant Topics is a new section where Beck interviews musicians, artists, and writers "without promotional pretext or editorial direction." First in the hot seat: Tom Waits, who talks with Beck about growing up in Los Angeles, playing a show in an abandoned Japanese temple in minus-30-degree weather, and the sad fact that most art -- including his own -- will eventually disappear.
It's a fascinating read, and Waits has plenty of personal thoughts to share, including this observation about the desire to have the best of everything:
"Where does this 'best' thing come from? Is that human? Is that American? Is it all over the world? Everyone wants the best eye surgeon, the best babysitter, the best vehicle, the best prosthetic arm, and the best hat. There's also the worst of all those things available and they're doing rather well. [Laughs] Denny's is doing great. It's always crowded. You have to wait for a table."

Beeler breezes to NeSmith Chevrolet DLMS win at 411By Staff Adam Beeler of Knoxville, TN shows off his Gold Helmet Trophy in victory lane after winning the Ole Smoky Moonshine 50 for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series on Saturday night. /Photo: Adam Stewart
SEYMOUR, TN - Adam Beeler of Knoxville, TN finally got it all together to win his first NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series race in the Ole Smoky Moonshine 50 on Saturday night at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, TN driving the Mighty Muffler and Brakes CVR. Beeler swept the program as fast qualifier, and then led all 50 laps for the $3,000 victory.
These NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series races are hard to win, Beeler said. Weve been fast qualifier a couple of times and led a few races, but we could never put it all together to win one of these races, so it feels really good to finally do it. The defending NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Champion Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, TN got back into the 2014 title hunt with a last lap, last turn pass to finish second. Jered Hawkins of Fairmont, WV held off Johnson for several laps, but had to settle for third. Friday night 411 Motor Speedway winner Jimmy Elliott of Cleveland, TN finished fourth, and Ashley Newman of Ripley, TN was fifth. Point leader Walker Arthur of Forest, VA took the sixth spot. Arthur now holds a 24-point lead in the standings. Todd Coffman of Parksville, KY charged from the 22nd starting spot to finish seventh, and Brett Wyatt of Crossville, TN was eighth. Matt Henderson of Loudon, TN took the ninth spot and Josh Adkins of Talladega, AL rounded out the top ten. In preliminary action, Beeler earned the pole position for the Ole Smoky Moonshine 50 by out-qualifying the 27-car field with a lap around the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval in 14.128 seconds. The two ten-lap B-Main Races were won by Ryan King of Seymour, TN and Brad Coffey of Maryville, TN. The first start of the race was marred by a multi-car pile-up in turn two that sidelined Evan Taylor of Clarksville, TN and forced a complete restart. Beeler took the lead on the next try followed by Elliott, Jensen Ford of Piney Flats, TN, Hawkins and Jacob Anderson of Murphy, NC. The red flag was displayed on lap two when Coffey spun in turn two collecting King, Wyatt, and Rusty Ballenger of Sevierville, TN. King flipped his race car, but was uninjured. On the restart, Ford and Anderson passed Elliott to move up to second and third respectively. A quick lap three debris caution reset the field, and on the restart, Ford pulled under Beeler, and the lead duo raced side-by-side until Beeler powered off the outside of turn four to take the lead outright. The caution flag came out on lap six when Brian Courtney of Knoxville, TN spun in turn two. On the restart, Elliott was able to drive around the outside of Anderson to reclaim the fourth spot. Johnson moved into the top five by lap eight. Courtney spun for the second time on lap 11 in turn three, and was done for the night. Beeler had Ford, Hawkins, Elliott, Johnson, Anderson, Ballenger, Newman, Henderson and Arthur stacked up behind him for the Dixie-Style double-file restart. When the green flag came back out, Hawkins got by Ford for second, and Johnson passed Elliott for the fourth spot. The race stayed green until lap 32 when Henderson spun with help from Anderson, who was ticketed with the caution flag. Beeler led the field down for the restart, followed by Hawkins, Johnson, Elliott, Newman, Arthur, Coffman, Wyatt, Henderson, and Ballenger. Johnson turned up the wick to challenge Hawkins for the second spot. Johnson looked to the inside of Hawkins for several laps, but could not get a good enough run to take the second spot. While Hawkins and Johnson battled for second, Beeler pulled out to another half-straightaway lead by lap 45. On the last lap of the race, Johnson scrapped the inside strategy and stepped to the outside of Hawkins in turn three, and made the pass for second coming off the fourth turn headed for the checkered flag. The next pair of races for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division will be on May 2-3 for the Ozark Nationals at Batesville Motor Speedway in Batesville, AR featuring a pair of 50-lap $2,500-to-win races.

Whale-watching is one of those things that has a broad-based appeal, luring visitors of every age and stripe to a wide variety of locations worldwide. Something to do with the visceral impact of seeing and hearing these majestic creatures at close quarters and, perhaps, the added fun – usually – of having to board a boat to do so.
Here are 10 of the best whale-watching sites worldwide, along with details of how to organise a trip to your chosen site.
California's 20,000 grey whales will travel along the coast of south-east Alaska on the way to their summer feeding grounds. Whales return year after year, and especially to Point Adolphus, part of Glacier Bay National Park, Chatham Strait and Alaska's famed Inside Passage to the south, the last a major migration area.
You will see whales in spring, but summer is the best time to visit. Cruises to the area often have many whale sightings.
Two excellent whale-viewing lodges in the state are The Lodge at Whale Pass, in Ketchikan, and Favourite Bay Lodge in Angoon. As the name Whale Pass suggests, this is a prime whale-viewing lodge, with several types of whale visible, often from the lodge itself (or take a sea excursion or explore by kayak). At Favourite Bay, humpbacks, orcas and porpoises feed locally.
- Original Travel (020 7978 7333; originaltravel.co.uk) can tailor-make trips to Alaska: a typical 14-night itinerary to the state, incorporating a week's full board at both lodges, with flights, would cost from about £6,000 per person.
Closer to home, the waters around the nine islands of the Azores are great places to see 20 or more species of dolphins and whales. Between April and September expect sightings of blue whales, orcas and spotted and striped dolphins. Last year there were also sightings of the rare northern bottlenose whales, usually found around the Faroe Islands.
- Archipelago Azores (01768 775672; azoreschoice.com) has a new tour for 2010, "History of the Whales", devoted to the whales and dolphins of the Azores. From £1,090 (valid from May to October), with seven nights' b & b at the Convento São Francisco in Vila Franca (the old capital of the Azores). Includes return flight (with SATA), airport transfers, introductory lecture, a tour of São Miguel, with lunch, and four half-day whale and dolphin-watching trips.
The rich feeding grounds of the Sea of Cortex off California and the sheltered bays along the Pacific coast combine to produce superb whale-watching experiences. Thousands of dolphins, and the chance to get close (but not too close – reputable operators worldwide should stay at least 100 yards from whales) with the grey whale, are the highlights of this destination.
For all that operators should keep their distance, grey whales are often inquisitive and can appear to revel in human contact. Anyone who visits these waters will hope to see the huge 40ft "blow" of water vapour that marks the surfacing of the magnificent blue whale: California is considered one of the best places to see the phenomenon.
If you want to see blue whales or humpback whales, you'll find them in the waters off much of the state's central coast – from Point Reyes to the Santa Barbara Channel. Many other whales share these waters, including more elusive species such as the
dwarf sperm whale.
- Wildlife Worldwide (0845 130 6982; www.wildlifeworldwide.com) offers a trip to Monterey Bay, including seven nights' b & b and some meals, from £2,199 per person, including flights, transfers, boat trips, half a day kayaking and entry to Ano Nuevo State Reserve.
North-east Iceland offers whale-watching trips on beautifully restored fishing vessels. Minke whales and white-beaked dolphins are regularly seen and occasionally humpback and blue whales. Also worth a visit is Husavik's fascinating Whale Museum, located by the port. The first of its kind in Iceland, it has interpretive displays on the cetacean species found around Iceland, along with whale skeletons and other exhibits.
- Discover the World (01737 218800; discover-the-world.co.uk) offers a week-long self-drive holiday exploring the volcanic and geothermal wonders of the north, with a choice of accommodation (hotel or summerhouse). From £842 per person (for travel in May), including Iceland Express flights from Gatwick, domestic flights between Reykjavik City Airport and Akureyri, b & b and five days' car hire. There are various whale-watching excursions available at Husavik; a typical three-hour trip costs £35 per person.
A trip to the South Island of New Zealand would not be complete without heading to Kaikoura, a small town on a coast where deep water and the mixing of warm and cold currents forces nutrients to the surface. This attracts sperm whales and several species of dolphin, with the chance to witness the world's smallest and rarest dolphin, the Hector's dolphin, which is only found around New Zealand.
- Naturetrek (01962 733051; naturetrek.co.uk) offers a 22-day "New Zealand's Natural History" tour which stops at Kaikoura. There is an option to take a whale-watching cruise off the coast at Kaikoura and whale sightings are also possible at other points during the tour, such as the trip across the Cook Strait, or around Tiritiri Matangi. From £4,595 (October 30–November 20), including flights, accommodation, meals and a guide.
Norway is one of the best places to observe killer whales. The number of sightings in some areas has recently declined, but not in the magical Lofoten islands, an archipelago above the Arctic Circle. Their nutrient-rich and deep waters mean that you are sure of a sighting – and you'll need to travel just six nautical miles offshore, a one-hour boat trip.
Late October to mid-January is the time to go, when the whales follow shoals of Atlantic herring (there is also the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights).
- Specialised Tours (01342 712785; specialisedtours.com) offers a four-night Tromso/Lofoten tour from £1,095, including flights from Heathrow, one night's b & b in Tromso and a scenic voyage to the Lofoten Islands for two nights' half board. Join an Orca Safari for an additional £125 per person.
Scotland is an exceptional place for wildlife watching. Gairloch, on the spectacular north-west coast, boasts waters with an abundance of marine wildlife; or head to the west coast, particularly the south end of the Isle of Skye or farther south to the Isle of Mull.
It offers glorious beaches and rocky islands, and is a good spot for porpoise, dolphins, minke whales and basking sharks, and is also a haven for bird watchers, with sea eagles, golden eagles and puffins. Visit from mid-June to the end of September.
- Responsible Travel (01273 600030; responsibletravel.com) offers a three-day trip to the Isle of Mull from £395, excluding flights but including accommodation and two full days' whale-watching with a small family-run business that works closely with the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust.
The whale route extends 1,200 miles from Cape Town to Durban. So many species of whale and dolphin can be found in these waters that you can often spot them near the shore. Hermanus is the best land-based centre, and whale season runs from June to November: check out the annual Hermanus Whale Festival. There are also wonderful walking and hiking opportunities.
- Bushbaby Travel (01252 792984; bushbabytravel.com) offers a five-night trip to view the Southern Right whales in Walker Bay from £1,140 (valid for departures until end of November), staying at Schulphoek Guest House on the ocean's edge (you can watch whales from the hotel), including b & b, flights from Heathrow to Cape Town, and car hire.
Whales, dolphins and numerous seabirds can be found in the Bay of Biscay off Spain's northern coast, but even if you have to wait a while between whales, or fail to spot any, the inland scenery will make amends. The limestone peaks of the Picos de Europa in the heart of the Cantabrian Mountains and the plains of the upper Duero Valley offer a variety of scenic hikes.
Otherwise, August is the time to go (when everyone else is on the south coast) for sightings of a range of whale and dolphin species such as fin, killer and pilot whales and Risso's dolphins.
- Out of the Blue (0845 290 3218; www.oceansworldwide.co.uk) offers a visit to the Bay of Biscay. Prices start at £245 per adult for June-September departures. This price includes three nights' accommodation on the Pride of Bilbao, guided walk in Spain and the services of two professional guides.
When 20,000 grey whales make their annual journey from their winter home off the Mexican Baja Peninsula to their summer feeding grounds, they pass Vancouver Island's west coast, offering some superb viewing opportunities. Humpback and minke whales can be sighted, along with seals, sea lions, porpoise, otters and an incredible variety of marine birds. Star of the area, however, is the orca, or killer whale.
From the King Pacific Lodge you can view the whales with a guide, and local whale researchers are available to help identify pods and listen in on their conversations with hydrophones. Other activities from the lodge include wilderness kayaking, hiking and heli-fishing and trips to see the rare "White Spirit Bear".
- Original Travel (020 7978 7333; originaltravel.co.uk) offers a two-week itinerary to Canada incorporating a stay at King Pacific Lodge from £4,000 per person, including flights from London.

Kitchen & Entertaining
Super Chill Appetizer Tray
Nice Idea
The idea of keeping food chilled is very nice. This unit is sturdy and well made. Very heavy. One comment, the dip section could be larger, the cocktail sauce kept spilling over, so my shrimp platter didn't stay neat and fresh looking.
December 12, 2011
not a good choice
This item was to be a wedding gift- it came in a sturdy box- good thing as it weighs a ton! However, there were no instructions on how to use the item, cleaning, or assembly. It is too heavy to mail again. I should have listened to the other reviews more closely. Might be a good item for professional cooking situation.
September 7, 2011
Outdoor Entertaining Made Easy
Keeps food cool....when placing food outside it's a concern when the weather is hot. Using the super chill server you can put that worry aside. It's a nice looking tray and it's made very well. Great product. LOVE
August 31, 2011
Great purchase
These bowls exceeded my expectations! They kept my food cold, I never had to worry about refilling ice, AND there was no condensation leaking all over the table. I would absolutely buy these again.
August 21, 2011
Great entertaining bowl
I love the fact I can serve a cold dip without worrys of it getting warm. I look forward to using it for football season.
August 19, 2011
Super Chillers - Wow!
I love them! I entertain often and had previously purchased the 3 qt bowl. I received so many compliments on the style as well as how well it kept the food cold. I have a big party coming up so I purchased the deviled egg, 1 qt bowl and dip server chillers to complete my set. Well worth the money to not have the food spoil.
August 11, 2011
Super Chill really works!
It is perfect for summer tables. Keeps food very cold for the stated 8hrs. A good product to have for anyone who entertains outside alot.
August 10, 2011
Best purchase
This server stayed cold for hours. Cheese did not get all sweaty and waxy.
July 28, 2011
Dissapointed in these
Rarely are we dissapointed in our Frontgate purchases, but these items are heavy, bulky, low capacity, too big for our freezer and we regrettably had to return them. Suited for commercial use only.
July 22, 2011
I've bought 6 pieces of these and they are the BEST! No more worries about leaving cheese or mayo, etc. out, these have taken care of all that and I get to spend the xtra time with my guests.
June 1, 2011
Stays cold a LOOONG Time !!
I recently ordered both sizes of these bowls and used them for an outdoor b-b-que party - they were fantastic! Looked very nice - very heavy duty (be aware - they ARE very heavy). They kept food cold outdoors for at least 5 hours during the party - and then we washed them and left them out to dry - THEY WERE STILL COLD THE NEXT MORNING !!
May 25, 2011
Super chill bowls
Great product except for its weight. If I had known how heavy it was I may not have purchased it.
April 18, 2011
Great Item
Keeps my cold appetizers cold for quite a long time.
February 18, 2011
super chill dish
This is my first review. I never do this sort of thing. But this product deserves it. Kept my shrimp cold from 500pm til midnight. When I cleaned up the server it was still cold!
February 17, 2011
BEst ever
I can't wait for summer to get here to use the insulated chill server by the pool... a friend has one that I have borrowed and it is super... thanks Frontgate, for making life easier.
January 19, 2011
Surprisingly Very Heavy
Recommend noting the weight of this bowl in the description. Was very surprised how heavy it is. It is a beautiful bowl, works well.
December 29, 2010
Super Chill is Super!
I purchased the Super Chill server for my in-laws as they entertain on their back patio frequently. The basins are a good size for holding their assorted snacks and the seal of the ice tray is nice & tight. The ice doesn't melt quickly and the liquid does not seep through. I look forward to many afternoons on their patio with this dish full of snacks.
December 28, 2010
Beautiful and practical
I bought these as gifts, they were thrilled
with them..very useful, they entertain
December 23, 2010
Great bowl for guacamole!
I love to entertain and my friends always expect freshly made guacamole at parties. The one quart super chill bowl is great for that purpose. It keeps the ingredients fresh and appealing and the size is perfect for our needs.
I also like to bring salads to parties. This bowl is great to put in salad sides that need to be kept cold on longer car trips, like cheeses, meats or avocados. With my friends' dietary restrictions and taste preferences, it is nice to keep the ingredients cold and separate.
December 16, 2010
I haven't used it yet, and I'm planning to keep it. However, I have a side by side refrigerator/freezer, and this serving piece does not fit into the freezer, it's too big. I also thought it would not be so shallow. I don't love it.
December 15, 2010
Great. Serving piece
Works great, but would have been nice to have directions
December 14, 2010
very good
Haven't had the chance to use this but, I am sure will will really like it. Was surprised at how heavy it is.
November 16, 2010
Need Directions!
The super chill chip and dip server is fabulous, BUT there are no instructions included in the package. We were unsure whether the top and bottom pieces came apart, we were unsure whether to freeze the top only or to freeze both parts, and we are unsure how long to freeze the server in order to achieve maximum length of time that it will keep the food chilled. We had to get out the catalog (which was in the trash bin) to find that the top freezes.
Need a little help here!
October 19, 2010
This bowl will be a great addition to my other outdoor items. it is the most useful because of its size and its many uses. I love it's cover when it is in the refrigerator and not the plastic wrap I would of had to use to cover when not in use.
September 29, 2010
Not the best ever....
I was so excited about this purchased because we entertain outdoors at our lakehouse often. Thought this would be the perfect solution to keeping dips chilled. No instructions on cleaning or anything else with it. Not so sure it's going to be as great as advertised. May return it. :(
September 17, 2010
Simply Fabulous Serving Dishes
I absolutely LOVE the Super Chill serving pieces! I am the type of person that doesn't like to serve items buffet style if they cannot be kept at the right temperature. This was previously difficult for cold items and I feared guests might eat spoiled food sitting at room temperature too long. I used the divided tray for 3 varieties of cream cheese spread at a breakfast. All I had to do was put the tray in the freezer the night before and the next morning it was ready. 4 hours into the party, the cream cheese was as cold as it had just come out of the refrigerator and there was no condensation on the dish. I highly recommend all of the pieces! I also have the 1 qt. bowls and the platter.
September 17, 2010
Enjoyed Chilled Platters
I ordered the oval chilled platter and the divided oval chilled platter from Frontgate. They were delivered in about a week in excellent condition. The night before the party, I placed the bottom parts of the platters in the freezer. The food stayed cool the whole evening, even though we were outside in approx. 85+ degrees F. I was very pleased with the platters and they just looked beautiful on the table!
September 13, 2010
Poor Description of product
The description of this item is poorly worded in the catalogue. It is unclear to the buyer (and apparently the phone staff) if the rubber insert only is freezable as I was lead to believe or as was the case if the entire product has to be placed in the freezer because it is permanently sealed to the stainless steel casing (which requires a fairly large freezer). As far as the product's quality and durability, it looked to be fairly sturdy, durable and attractive.
September 10, 2010
Not what I expected
This server looks great and I am sure I will use it. It is quite heavy but I imagine that is related to the gel inside. It is large to be placed in the freezer prior to use, but that is something I will just have to deal with. The biggest issue is the very small size of the well for the dip compared to the space for chips. It will not hold a great deal and guests will run out of dip before the chips are gone, necessitating frequent dip refills.
September 7, 2010
Another great product from Frontgate
I've been ordering from Frontgate for a number of years, and have never been disappointed with any of the items I have received. Always great quality and usually not something you see everywhere else.

I purchased the 4-quart bowl and just received it yesterday. I am confused as to the purpose of the black rubber (or silicone) ring that was located in-between the inner and outer bowls. It does not seem to fit either bowl snugly, and falls off rather easily. Was this ring only included for shipping purposes? Thank you in advance for your response.

My comments on this video tells the story of how long a process it can be to get your music on Pandora and other internet radio. Just because you send your music to Pandora don't mean they will play it. There's a whole lot to the process that you have to know. Give us a call if you have a budget of at least $800 to promote your music on both underground and internet radio including DadeCountyRadio.com
Here's the pandora link to the same song. http://www.pandora.com/auder-limits
Take a look at the following Billboard magazine article for more details about how to get paid as an artist , writer, performer, producer, engineer, etc.
Pandora Radio follows us @dadecountyradio or @daoneradio and our partners on twitter and also look to us for what music they will accept or not. I can tell you from personal experience that the music business is way more complex than you might think and to make things worse these laws change almost every week.
Pandora's first comments came from Westergren speaking at the SF Music Tech conference in San Francisco. "There are a couple artists making over $2 million on Pandora," TechCrunch quotes Westergren as saying. "Some artists making over $100,000 a year." Those are pretty straightforward comments. Artists do indeed make money from streams on Pandora Read more at http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/legal-and-management/business-matters-the-truth-about-pandora-1007978032.story#07eLytBCp8lgIYqk.99

Miami's Best Choice For Alternative Hip-Hop & RnB
Artists On The Rise – JIGG305
One of the CD's in particular caught my eye because of its artwork and craftsmanship, which made it stand out from all the hand-written home-made CD's around it. That CD was a mix-tape by an artist called JIGG305 and it was his first mixtape entitled, "Test The Dope".
Underground radio stations don't make much of an income in the way of revenue from advertisers for obvious reasons. One of the ways the DJ's earn a living is by charging the artists who want their music promoted a fee for promoting it. JIGG305 , however was one of those artists who I don't recall ever paying this underground radio station a fee for promoting his music. "Test The Dope" was just one of those mix-tapes that had such a huge buzz on the street that DJ's enjoyed playing it and listeners were constantly requesting it.
JiIGG305 was soon a regular at the radio station. I personally got to talk to him about the music industry on many occasions and had many good conversations and bad ones with him. I would constantly emphasize to him the things that needed to be done in order for his career to take off and not end up like so many other rappers with bad record deals. (myself included) He always strongly disagreed with me.
Whether my argument was correct or not remains to be seen but one thing for sure JIGG305 is without a doubt one of Miami's hottest underground talents. As a music consultant though, he will always be known to me as the client that got away.
You can still find out what JIGG305 is up to by visiting his you-tube page @ www.youtube.com/JIGG305ONLINE
Underground Radio Flashback
Back in 2008 DJ Khaled paid us a surprise visit. It's not every day we read about celebrities giving back to the community. DJ Khaled, who still has the most popular radio show in Miami (WEDR/99 Jamz) and who's 2007 "We The Best" album reached #1 on the Billboard Independent Chart, visited our Downtown, Opa-Locka – Miami, Florida studio's.
It would be hard to accuse DJ Khaled of forgetting his undergroud radio roots.
We were surprised to see DJ Khaled's signature Rolls Royce Phantom pull up to our front door. DJ Khaled stayed around for interviews and questions from local aspiring independent artists and promoted his album. We still have much love for DJ Khaled but it' s not often we get to see him. A lot has changed since 2008. Follow us on on Twitter for more updates@DadeCountyRadio

Tuscany Shopping
The Arezzo antiques market, Fiera Antiquaria (which takes place over the weekend that includes the first Sunday of each month), is arguably the best in Tuscany. Vendors take over the upper area of the city from the Basilica of San Francesco right past the duomo to sell antiques, paintings, jewelry, sculpture, crèche figures, prints, and silver ex-votos from churches (www.arezzofieraantiquaria.com).
If you're staying in the Chianti area and have the chance to cook, a visit to Italy's most famous butcher, Dario Cecchini, is more or less obligatory (11 Via XX Luglio, Panzano, near Greve; 39-055-852-020). Cecchini not only has the best Tonna del Chianti (pork shoulder packed in salt and then cooked in wine, sold in a vacuum-sealed pouch) and salumi (cured meats) in the area, he's also a larger-than-life showman who is liable to recite Dante at you as he carves. At the end of 2006, Cecchini opened an informal restaurant, Solo Ciccia ("only meat"), just across the road from his shop, where the traditional Tuscan menu revolves around his meaty wares. In Siena, Morbidi is a good all-round deli, where you can pick up fine Tuscan olive oils, salamis, vegetable and olive pastes, and cheeses, including a selection from the family's own dairy in Monteriggioni (75 Via Banchi di Sopra; 39-0577-280-268).
Fashion insiders know that you need to look beyond Via Tornabuoni in Florence and Via Condotti in Rome to find Italy's best shopping. A number of outlet malls hidden in the hills of Tuscany—especially in the Valdarno valley southeast of Florence—promise amazing savings on designer duds. Unlike in U.S. outlet malls, the goods here aren't manufactured specifically for discount sales; they're the real thing, marked down by 50 percent or better. Of course, outlet shopping is always hit-or-miss, but true shoppers know that the hunt is half the fun.
You'll need a car; otherwise arrange a tour through a travel agency that specializes in Tuscany (check our Travel Agent Finder for recommendations).
68 Località Levanella
Tel: 39 055 91 901
Trust Italy's most exclusive label to make its outlet store, just outside the town of Montevarchi, almost impossible to find, with signage so minimal that it feels like a treasure hunt. To get there, head south from Florence on the A1 Autostrada and take the Val d'Arno exit. Bear right, following the signs for Montevarchi. At the large roundabout, exit to the left, continuing toward Arezzo. Pass through Montevarchi and into Località Levanella. Shortly after the village, you'll see an Agip gas station on your right. Take the left at the flashing light immediately after it, following the signs for the Zona Industriale and "I Pellettieri d'Italia"—the official name of this huge gray and black warehouse with a sawtooth roof. Even when you've found a place to park the car, you're not quite in: First, you have to take a number from the ticket machine, then wait your turn, perhaps over a pricey cappuccino at the Prada bar on the corner, where an electronic number counter keeps you posted on progress. The reward is men's and women's clothing and accessories from both the Prada and Miu Miu labels at a fraction of the usual price (men's suits, for example, can be pcked up for a third of what you would pay in London or New York, sometimes less). The outlet is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 2 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday; smart shoppers know to avoid the weekend crush.
The Mall
8 Via Europa
Tel: 39 055 865 7775
This smart new open-air mall, way out in the boonies about 40 minutes southeast of Florence, features an ever-growing strip of outlets from Italy's top design houses (and others). The Mall now hosts Agnona, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Emanuel Ungaro, Ermenegildo Zegna, Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Hogan, La Perla, Loro Piana, Pucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Sergio Rossi, Stella McCartney, Tod's, Valentino, Yohji Yamamoto, and Yves Saint Laurent. (Phew! Don't worry—there's a café where you can collapse after that retail workout.) From the A1 Autostrada, take the Incisa exit, then take a right toward Pontassieve on SS69. Continue into Leccio—past fields and cows and old Tuscan farmhouses—and look for the Mall on your left. (You'll also pass a smaller building containing Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi shops.) The Mall operates a shuttle bus from Florence; call to tell them which hotel you're staying in, and they'll pick you up (around $30 round-trip). Opening hours are Monday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
One of the largest alabaster deposits in Italy is found near Volterra, and the semi-translucent stone has been quarried and carved here since Etruscan times. Shops all over the city sell lamp stands, paperweights, and other objects, some very beautiful. At the Cooperativa Artieri Alabastro, right in Piazza dei Priori, about 30 artisans show their wares (39-0588-87-590; www.artierialabastro.it). At Rossi Alabastri in Piazza della Pescheria, you can see the craftsmen carving in the adjacent workshop (39-0588-86-133; www.rossialabastri.com).
If you're just interested in buying, most Tuscan towns (not to mention the smallest villages in the major wine districts) offer ample opportunities. In Siena, the encyclopedic shop of the national wine institute, Enoteca Italiana, is currently closed for a makeover; it will reopen TK (www.enoteca-italiana.it). Siena's other enotecas are not that inspiring; better to head for Montalcino, where the Enoteca La Fortezza, in the medieval Rocca (castle) that dominates the town, has a huge selection of the two muscular local reds, Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, and plenty of other bottles from all over Tuscany (Piazzale Fortezza; 39-0577-849-211; www.enotecalafortezza.com). Other wine shops that stand out from the crowd include La Vena di Vino (30 Via Don Minzoni; 39-0588-81491; www.lavenadivino.com) in Volterra, and Enoteca Vanni (7 Piazza del Salvatore; 39-0584-491-902; www.enotecavanni.com) in Lucca.

Danica Patrick is making F1 headlines. Rumours about her Formula 1 test with Honda spread much faster than the following Nick Fry's denial about any contact between Honda F1 and Patrick. Nick Fry however does not seem to be entirely opposed to the idea:
"But if Danica did want to test one of our cars, we would be more than happy to speak to her about it."
The Honda link is understandable as she races Honda powered car in the IRL series. Coincidentally also her only IRL race win to date came at Honda owned Motegi track in Japan earlier this year.
The quick but not-so-firm denial from Nick Fry may mean one thing. Although there are no immediate plans for any F1 test Honda is well aware of Patrick's marketing potential. She is one of the top IRL drivers, she is an American, she can get angry and she has looks that sell well … Sort of a package the whole Formula 1 may need to finally break into the US market … We can see what upheaval the arrival of Lewis Hamilton and his title challenge has caused in the UK. It is not that difficult to imagine the impact Danica Patrick might have on Formula 1 viewing figures in the United States if she raced at the top. If she raced at the top … But what if she ends up like Michael Andretti ?
So would she be an asset or liability to Formula 1 ?

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares As of today, treatment options for male pattern baldness are limited but expanding. Currently, there are only two drugs licensed by the FDA for male pattern baldness: finasteride (Proscar/Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine/Loniten). These are the only drugs currently licensed by the FDA that actually help hair to regrow. Outside of drug therapy, there are additional treatment options, including non-surgical hair restoration (wearing a hairpiece), surgical hair replacement (hair transplantation) and low-level laser therapy (HairMax Laser Comb). New treatments such as hair cloning and gene therapy are on the horizon but not yet ready for prime time.

The One Stop Shop For Cutlery & Self Defense For Adults Who Can Read ------ Everything Listed Is In Stock !!!
1950's Vintage Gutman Cutlery Co. of New York ITALY 8" Dark Horn made by MAURO MARIO Bayonet Picklock Italian Stiletto Switchblade Knife
Authentic Dark Horn Handle Scales.
Nickel Silver Bolsters
Solid Brass Liners
Slide Safety
Bayonet Blade
Classic Picklock Closing
Quick Action Opening And Lock Up Is Superb.
Overall Length: 8" Blade Length: 3 1/2"
Closed Length: 4 1/2 Stamped: G.C.CO. ITALY
Made in Italy
The Stiletto Industry in Italy has always been known as a cottage industry. The Mauro Mario Company was the largest maker of switchblades in the 1950's. They produced 100,000 switchblades annually in the peak years and had many different tang stampings for its own products and made products for other companies.
Most Stilettos were and still are made with identical specifications but are marked according to the export company or re-seller. All the parts are interchangeable because all the same dies and machines are used. Parts were sent to their own unique label or import company for assembly in some cases and other companies chose finished products from the company. Only the generation of Italians that lived in 1950's and worked in this industry will have the true insight to what just went on.
After WWII Angelo Campolin became the production manager and joined the brothers Elso and Mauro Mario. In the beginning it was only these three workers but it grew to 50 men.
Mauro Mario Company produced knives with its own name and brand names Mauro M, Rosco, Wandy, Joy, Whitby, GC Co (Gutman Cutlery Company of New York), M. ITALY, and many others.
This is a one of a kind piece that has all original manual parts but has been converted to an automatic.
A masterpiece collaboration that no one else will have.
This is a true unique piece of 1950's Switchblade History.

text: That would suck,story wise. We see that Christa & Omid (have lost a child/or is pregnant), and it seems to be an obvious way to swing the story having Lee pass off Clem to the pair. For some reason it seems it would kind of suck that way. And would sort've go against having Clem be the main character/Protagonist/heroine in Season 2. So i want to ask, what would YOU like to see happen to Clementine in episode 5,and/or Season 2?

Will Udonis Haslem (and Shaq) Return Tonight?
Categories: Sports
Haslem has been out since November recovering from foot surgery, and though he has mostly recuperated, coach Erik Spolestra made the decision to keep him on the injured list during Game 1 of the series. But it's increasingly looking like the Miami Heat's cocaptain will make his long-awaited return during the series, possibly as early as tonight.
"Wouldn't be entirely surprised to see Udonis Haslem at least in uniform Tuesday, even if he doesn't play," writes the Miami Herald's Israel Gutierrez. "He's itching to play, and he says he's not feeling any lingering effects from his surgically repaired left foot the day after practicing."
As for the Celtics' Shaq, rumors of his return have been sputtering around for the past three weeks, but it seems he too could return during the series, also as early as tonight.
"If not, I would say Game 3," Boston coach Doc Rivers says. "He's feeling a lot better."
Not that we expect Shaq to make that much of a difference. The guy hasn't been a big postseason presence since, well, when he was wearing a Heat jersey.
Considering he was the guy who helped Dwyane Wade and the Heat win their first NBA championship, and failed to help LeBron James win one in Cleveland last season, it certainly makes for an interesting return drama-wise.
Update: According to the AP, neither player will return tonight. So much for that speculation, but it appears both might come back sometime during the series.
