" Brand: Tesco / Type: Kitchen Towel Roll "
I use a lot of kitchen roll and really would be lost without it. I am not brand loyal and always check out special offers when it comes to buying cleaning necessities . I recently bought a 4 pack of Tesco won label kitchen rolls as they were the cheapest option in stock! I paid £2.50 for a pack of 4 rolls.
The towels come packaged in a clear plastic wrapper and really look nothing special alongside several more expensive brands that picture Disney characters or coloured patterns. However the plain white towels suit me well as I am not looking for a piece of art ! Each roll contains 60 sheets of paper and although plain they do have a sort of dotted indented pattern. More importantly each towel is quite thick and of a decent size. Another important factor for me is how easy it is to tear off a sheet . In this case the perforations work well ensuring I only get one sheet!
I use kitchen towel for a variety of purposes such as wiping my granite work tops dry after cleaning. With children plus dog kitchen towel is invaluable to soak up any spills from the carpets before cleaning. These towels do an excellent job at soaking up spilled liquids! I also use them to polish windows after cleaning as they give a good shine. The same applies to bathroom tiles and sticky finger marks. I grow a lot of herbs and like to store them to ensure I have a fresh supply. Simply wet a sheet of kitchen roll and wrap the herbs before placing into a plastic bag and storing in the fridge. This keeps the herbs fresh for several weeks and ensures they are ready to use!
Overall I would definitely recommend this brand of kitchen roll. The sheets are thick and absorbent ,of a decent size and they are easy to separate
Kitchen towel is something that every household needs. If you dont have it in your house how on earth do you get by?! We end up with lots of different varieties in our house depending on where I shop, when I remember to buy any and how much money we have! Brands I have been pleased with range from Tesco Value to Plenty and I'm not particularly brand faithful.
A few weeks ago we ran out of kitchen towel. I asked my partner to collect some on his way home as he often takes himself into our local Tesco Express to buy himself sweets! He came back with a two pack of Tescos own kitchen towel which I was happy enough with. He didnt tell me what he paid but when I was in the shop the other day I think I remember seeing it selling at just over the £1.50 mark.
The packaging is exactly the same as is shown above. It is nice and bright and gives me a bit more information about the product including how Tesco are ensuring that the trees they used are replaced etc.
The rolls of kitchen towel are plain white in colour which is fine by me. Each sheet is a good size and they are quite thick which made me believe that it was likely they would be of a good standard.
I use kitchen towel for lots and lots of different things! I use it for cleaning both the kitchen and the bathroom, wiping up spills, cleaning marks off of the carpet and emptying out the cat food bowls before washing them out.
As I use the towels for such a vast array of things we tend to go through them quite quickly in our house. Last week I decided it was time for a reshuffle of the kitchen cupboards so whilst I had everything out I gave the cupboards a quick clean on the inside too. The towels worked really well, I often applied pressure in order to remove any scuffs or marks and not once did a towel break despite being soaked in Flash Kitchen Cleaner.
I also use these to clean the bathroom where again they are strong and hold together well. I find them easy to clean with and although they have a soft texture they do have a textured surface which helps to remove any stubborn marks.
I find the towels very absorbant and I can easily mop up any spills with just one towel which makes it quick and simple.
Average use of this towel in my house means a roll can last somewhere between 3 and 4 days or if I am having a cleaning mission this can be less! Last week admitedly it did only last a few hours. However, since then we bought another pack which are being used no problem and I would definitely buy these again without a doubt. They are a good price for exceptional quality and are now one of my favourites on the market.
Some kitchen rolls seem to make lots of claims about how absorbent they are and I immediately think of silly TV adverts where people are wringing the paper out and showing just how much spillage one sheet will mop up. I have, however, rarely found any kitchen roll to be that good so I often 'drop a brand' now and opt for Tesco's own make because whilst it doesn't make any special claims, it's good enough quality for various purposes in the kitchen.
These are neither a fancy name with pretty packaging, or a Tesco Value cheapest brand, but rather just a standard Tesco product. The packaging is primarily see through plastic with blue/white detailing on the front. It's nothing special, but then again I'd much rather like to think I'm paying for the product I'm actually using than for the name or pretty colours. This claims that it 'soaks up spills fast', as do most kitchen rolls, but it doesn't make large claims of being extra strong or absorbent. It's a cheaper brand so a good alternative to check out if you want to save on pennies.
These can be bought as a pack of 2, 4 or 8 rolls, though I often go for the pack of 4. If you get these, at normal retail value, it works out at £1.20 per 100 sheets as each roll has 50 sheets. The rolls are white in colour and don't have a fancy design, but they do have some indented dot mark pattern all over to give it texture. They look quite basic but that doesn't bother me.
I have found that these are relatively easy to tear off without ripping the sheet and that's important because it's not as good value for money if you've got poor quality paper that rips all over the place. The size is average and reasonable for various purposes, from mopping up spills to ridding your chips of excess grease. For some reason we seem to eat kitchen rolls in our house and they get used for various things, and I've found that these have come in very useful and multi-purpose in this sense. They don't absorb a river of spilt tea, but then I've never found a kitchen roll that really does, but they do soak up reasonably well without falling apart. Don't expect miracles, but for the price, they do the job nicely enough.
When compared to similar products, these can be quite a bit cheaper, even half the price of bigger brand names. And yet I've found them to be of reasonable quality, it's easy to dispense sheets from the roll and they're useful for various things in the home without fluffing up or falling apart the second they're put to work.
Overall I would definitely recommend these if you want to save a few pennies; you may miss out on pretty patterns but for the price they're still reasonable quality kitchen tissues that come in very useful.
4 rolls £2.40, 2 rolls £1.44, 8 rolls £4.80 (Tesco)

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2008 A cease-fire agreement signed today by the president of the former Soviet republic of Georgia calls for Russian troops to immediately leave his country, America's senior diplomat said in the Georgian capital today.
"And now, with the signature of the Georgian president on this cease-fire accord, all Russian troops and any irregular and paramilitary forces that entered with them must leave immediately," U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said during a news conference in Tbilisi with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili at her side.
President Bush dispatched Rice to Europe to assist in resolving a now week-long international crisis involving Georgia and Russia. On Aug. 8, Russian tanks and troops crossed the border into the contested northern Georgian provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, after Georgian military forces had clashed with separatists in South Ossetia the day before.
The Russian troops caused Georgian forces to retreat south. Since then, the Russians have lodged themselves in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as well as in some Georgian municipalities farther south.
Rice was in Tbilisi today, she said, to demonstrate "the solidarity of the United States with Georgia and its people in this moment of crisis."
The United States, she said, supports Georgia's independence, its territorial integrity and its democratically elected government.
"That is America's position, and in my discussions with my European colleagues, it is the position of the Europeans, as well," Rice said.
Rice was in France yesterday to consult with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. France and the United States worked together to craft the cease-fire agreement.
"The Russian attack on Georgia had profound implications and will have profound implications for Russia's relations with its neighbors and with the world," Rice said in Tbilisi. "But, our most-urgent task today is the immediate and orderly withdrawal of Russian armed forces and the return of those forces to Russia."
With today's cease-fire agreement, what's needed in Georgia now "are international observers on the scene -- fast," Rice said in Tbilisi. Finnish authorities have indicated that regional security monitors affiliated with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe could be sent to Georgia in a matter of days, she said. Finland's Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb is the organization's chairman for 2008.
"And, eventually, we need a more robust and impartial peacekeeping international force that would follow those monitors," Rice added.
The Georgian president accused Russia of conducting a premeditated invasion of his country.
"We are under [a] Russian invasion and Russian occupation right now," Saakashvili declared. "And, we want to end [this] Russian invasion and occupation."
The United States and other nations are providing humanitarian assistance to the Georgian people, Rice said.
"Access must be immediate and unimpeded for those humanitarian efforts," Rice said. "When the security situation in Georgia is stabilized, we will turn immediately to reconstruction."
Rice urged that Georgians who were displaced from their homes during the fighting be allowed to return.
The Defense Department-enabled U.S. humanitarian relief mission to Georgia continues, Rice said. U.S. military transport planes already have delivered millions of dollars worth of humanitarian supplies to Georgians rendered homeless by the fighting.
"That mission will be vigorous and ongoing," Rice said.
Meanwhile, the United States is working with the Georgian government, the G-7 world economic organization and the International Monetary Fund "to rapidly develop an economic support package for the Georgian economy to build on its demonstrated track record and to resume its rapid growth," Rice said.
The economic package, Rice said, is designed to "restore Georgia's economy and reinforce investor confidence as Georgia returns to its position as the leading economy in the region."
Rice said it is imperative that "Russian forces leave Georgia at once." The world, she said, needs to help Georgia maintain its sovereignty, its territorial integrity and its independence.
"This is no longer 1968 and the invasion of Czechoslovakia, when a great power invaded a small neighbor and overthrew its government," Rice said, in recalling the Soviet Union's invasion of that European nation. "The free world will now have to wrestle with the profound implications of this Russian attack on its neighbor for security in the region and beyond."

Matthew Strickland faces future with reliance and trust in God
With reliance and trust in God, Grace Christian School senior Matthew Strickland, 18, said he's undaunted by the prospect of beginning college this fall.
Strickland, the son of Allan and Tammy Strickland, is set to graduate high school Thursday with 20 of his cohorts before entering his freshman year at North Carolina State University — which saw more than 5,200 students graduate this past May — to study computer science.
"I feel that being at Grace has really grounded me in my faith," he said. "I know I won't have all the answers, but I'll be able to at least stand my ground against some of the harder questions that may be asked."
Upon arrival at campus, Strickland said he plans to participate in Christ-based student organizations and join a weekly Bible study for young men.
"It's going to be really cool to go to State with a Christian group of guys, who I know firsthand," he said.
The group of Grace seniors just returned from a mission trip in the Dominican Republic, and Strickland said sharing his faith and ministering to others was an amazing experience.
"My faith has definitely grown here at Grace," he said. "Even on that trip, it has grown exponentially. While here at school, I feel as though I have been able to grow in Christ, and I feel really blessed to have done that."
Throughout his 14 years at Grace, Strickland provided technological support for the school and Grace Chapel Church as part of the school's media team. He's one of the first people called when a church event is held to begin setting up the sound equipment. In ninth grade, he took a computer science course that spurred his desire to learn more about the digital world.
"It was that computer science class really," he said. "I've always had an interest in technology — from video games to going on the Internet all the time. The way my mind processed that was, 'You need to understand what you like.' That's why I wanted to go into computers and never stop learning."
Strickland said he's not sure what he wants to do with his computer science degree — possibly provide tech support for a church or develop ministry-based apps — but that he's excited to learn about cybersecurity and different website coding languages.
"I will go where ever God calls me," he said. "I am leaning toward [working at] a business, and I will be able to share my faith and be a testimony in a secular environment. There is not a lot of Christian output in computer science."
While leaving a place he calls his second home will be difficult, Strickland said he's looking forward to his next step in life. And, as for the rising senior class at Grace, he said they should study hard and keep God first.
"I'd tell him to be sure to keep God's light shining," Strickland said. "And to represent the school [in a way] that is befitting to God and to them."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 2005 U.S. troops in Iraq continue to perform heroically in combat against terrorist insurgents; and some are making the ultimate sacrifice in the country that President Bush has called "the central front in the war on terror."
Indeed, soldiers assigned to 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team received combat decorations during a ceremony at Forward Operating Base Honor on Nov. 6.
The soldiers were awarded 54 Combat Action Badges, three Combat Infantry Badges and three Combat Medical Badges.
"My Grandfather won (a Combat Infantry Badge) in World War II; and my uncle won his during Operation Desert Storm," said 1st Lt. Eric Woolf, a platoon leader with the 6/8 Cav. "Ever since I joined the infantry, I wanted to get this award - so it means a lot."
Spc. Daniel Meservey, B Troop, 6/8 Cav. also earned the Combat Action Badge; however, his situation is different from Lt. Woolf's.
"I am proud to be the first soldier in my family to earn the Combat Action Badge," Meservey said. "It is an honor and a privilege."
Elsewhere in Iraq, five soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, were killed in action, and five were wounded, on Nov. 19 in two separate improvised explosive device attacks on U.S. patrols in the vicinity of Bayji.
Three of the injured were transported to nearby military medical facilities, and two were treated and returned to duty.
A Task Force Baghdad soldier was killed by small-arms fire while on patrol north of Baghdad on Nov. 20. Officials say the incident is under investigation.
A Marine assigned to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, was killed in action when his vehicle was attacked with an IED during combat operations in the vicinity of Hadithah on Nov. 19.
Another Marine assigned to Regimental Combat Team 8, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, died of wounds received from small arms fire during combat operations against in al Karmah on Nov. 19.
The names of all of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and release by the Department of Defense.

Connecticut was a colony with slaves. That sentence doesn't look
right, doesn't feel right. And yet,
in the Bush homestead in Greenwich
and in hundreds of other households
across the colony, the slavery of Africans
and African Americans was a fact of
everyday life.
Within 120 years of English settlers' arrival in the 1630s, the
Connecticut colony was booming. Connecticut,
says one historian, "was designed by God for trade." With 254 miles
of Atlantic coastline and 60-mile-long
rivers snaking inland, the colony was
perfect for marine transport and small,
fast ships. Even in its earliest history,
Connecticut was part of a larger economic
system that included slave labor: when
the great city of Hartford was little
more than a raw fort, a ship from Wethersfield
was already ferrying onions and a horse
down to Barbados, where African slaves
worked the sugar plantations.
Connecticut grew crops, raised cattle and felled logs to send to the West Indies, because many
Caribbean islands, though capable of growing their own food, were busy growing the vastly more
profitable sugar cane. It would be more accurate to say that enslaved black people, in a labor that
often killed them, were growing that sugar cane. And Connecticut was feeding them.
That sugar cane, produced by captive Africans, was brought north
to the Connecticut colony as molasses
and sugar products, which were distilled
into rum in such quantities that Connectictut
became the New World's leading distiller.
(There were 21 distilleries in Hartford
County alone.) The fortunes of many
of Connecticut's earliest leading citizens
were made through the British colony's
involvement in the transatlantic slave
With wealth coming from the food, lumber and livestock
that settlers were able to wrest from
the land and
send to the West Indies, there was
money to develop the North American
colonies. But who would do the work?
There were farms to tend, stone walls
to build, ships to manufacture, roads
and wharves and houses, all to be made
by human hands... next >>

Directors Report:
The Courtaulds Reach and Influence
before I arrived at the Courtauld as Director in January, I was made
aware of the Institutes reach and influence in the world. I was in
Dunhuang, a remote outpost in the northwest of China, on the ancient silk
road across central Asia, visiting a series of early Buddhist cave temples
the walls of which are decorated with nearly the sum total of surviving
early Buddhist mural painting. There, a mile or so outside the dusty little
village of Dunhuang itself, I was met by Fan Jinshi, the director of the
Dunhuang Academy, a scientific entity charged with studying and preserving
the so-called Magao Caves.
Dr. Fan, a small, determined woman in her seventies, greeted me warmly because I had been introduced to her as the new director of the Courtauld, the worlds leader in the training of wall painting conservators, many of whom, it turns out, have been working at Dunhuang. She took me to Cave 85, a 9th-century Tang dynasty grotto to show me the work being undertaken with the help of the Courtauld and the Getty Conservation Institute, the latter providing equipment, expertise, and funding, and the former providing professional training and experience. The cave had been considerably damaged over the years, in great part because of damp in the walls due to its location near a small, but persistent Daquan River. The work of the Chinese conservators was deeply impressive. And Dr. Fan was generous in her praise of the Courtauld and all that it has done to advance the work of her team. When I left Dunhuang two days later, she accompanied me to the airport and instructed me to send more Courtauld-trained conservators to her Academy. I smiled warmly and said: "Of course, its in our mission to do so."
Two months later I found myself in my new office at Somerset House and I am thrilled to be here. It is a most exciting time in the history of the Courtauld. We are half-way through our first year as an independent college of the University of London. Students are completing their second term and preparing for examinations and theses, teaching staff are teaching and organizing lecture series and conferences as they prepare to conduct research during the upcoming inter-term break, and I am startled by the amount of activity about the place. Since I arrived we have enjoyed a series of lectures on contemporary performance art, organized by Sarah Wilson, Reader in modern art, sponsored by the Friends of the Courtauld, and delivered, many of them, by Courtauld-trained scholars, critics, and museum professionals. At the same time, under the leadership of Professor Patricia Rubin, together with the National Gallery, we hosted a two-day conference on Botticelli and his workshop, a fascinating set of papers examining the practice of Renaissance painting workshops and the implications of workshop practices for our better understanding of Botticellis achievement as a painter, and the organization of his career.
Later in the summer term, Professor John Lowden will lead a conference on illuminated manuscripts under the auspices of the Research Centre for Illuminated Manuscripts, housed at Courtauld. Throughout the terms the various sections have been hosting continuous seminars. One such seminar, hosted by the Classical/Byzantine/Medieval section, was given by Michael Kauffmann, former Professor and Director of the Courtauld, and currently Honorary Fellow of the Institute. At the seminar were Peter Lasko and Eric Fernie, both former Professors and Directors of the Courtauld. Thus, in one place at one time, in addition to being treated to an elegant disquisition on an early Christian illuminated manuscript, I was introduced to my three predecessors, each of whom led the Institute with distinction during his tenure as Director. Needless to say, I was very pleased and honoured to have been in their company.
In itself the Institute is dynamic and ambitious. But in its alliances with other institutions in and beyond London, it is a truly extraordinary. In addition to the Botticelli conference organized with the National Gallery, members of teaching staff are engaged with colleagues and faculties throughout the United Kingdom in collaborative research projects, exhibitions, and conferences. We are also developing relations with the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg through the Hermitage Rooms here at Somerset House and with the assistance of a generous grant from the Edmund J. Safra Foundation. The grant will allow us to send students and teaching staff to St. Petersburg and bring to the Courtauld curators from the Hermitage Museum. We are also negotiating with the Hermitage Development Trust to assume responsibility for the Hermitage Rooms, as a way of collaborating with the Hermitage for exhibitions in support of and as complements to the Courtaulds teaching, research, and gallery programs.
At the same time, we are developing relations with the different parts of the J. Paul Getty Trust, especially the Museum, Research Institute, and Conservation Institute, as part of the agreement between our two institutions that was forged in the process of our achieving independent status as a college. At the end of term, Tom Crow, Director of the Getty Research Institute and a renowned specialist in late eighteenth-century French and post-War avant-garde American painting, presented a lecture at the Courtauld on the painter Mark Rothko. On that occasion we gathered Courtauld and Getty staff together to begin more specific discussions about future collaborations.
No doubt the biggest planning project for the spring is the development of the "research centre." With the generous support of the Safra Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation we are committed to establishing a research centre at the Institute that will enrich the research culture of the Institute itself, engage colleagues in and around London and beyond who are working in universities, museums, conservation studios, and a variety of unaffiliated situations, and advance new knowledge in a variety of research areas already explored at the Institute. We hope to announce the formation of the research centre later in the autumn.
These are only a few of the things occurring at the Courtauld as I take up my duties as Director. I am thrilled to be here and I very much look forward to the work that lies ahead.
JAMES CUNO — Director

Zs 'Score' Review at Words on Sounds (Killed In Cars)
For anyone who missed out on the early years of NYC's remarkable ensemble Zs, this new four CD box set documents the complete recordings of the first five years of the band, covering eight out-of-print releases along with a disc of unreleased material. For those of us living away from the East Coast, the original pressings of this music were almost impossible to find, coming out in tiny batches on small labels, and partly because of that, I think that this music hasn't gotten the attention it deserves on a wide scale. Northern Spy, how you spoil us!
Folks in the Midwest, for example, didn't stand a chance. Sure, we have the internet (and indoor plumbing, in case any readers weren't sure), but there is a bit of truth to the notion that cultural news moves a little more slowly in the middle of the country. Many of us missed out on Zs, and the rest of us came late to the Zs party, struggling to track down their back catalog through mail-order distros and living vicariously through YouTube videos of stunning live performances. If you care about "New Music" made with serious dedication and heart, my advice is to take the release of Score as an opportunity to experience some of the most powerful music made in several generations.
As much as I cringe at heading toward hyperbole, I don't think I can overstate my admiration for this music. Zs is my church. And taken as a body of work, I think that the pieces included in Score should be mandatory listening for the next generation of music students: a copy of this box set should be a heavy purchase consideration for every academic music library that takes contemporary music seriously. The day that Zs gets added to the contemporary music sections of music history classes will be the beginning of some majorly harder/deeper art music.
I was a music school cat myself just a few years before Zs took off, graduating in 2000, and there was something in the air back then that I kept reaching for but never quite found. Looking back, I think there was something about the impending change-of-millennium that was making a lot of creative folks ponder those deepest issues of "what comes next," and musical genres were splintering into more sub-sub-sub genres by the hour. But it was also the beginning of the internet age, with so much potential for bringing people together–how would that affect music when creation of more pigeonholes seemed to work against that potential being realized? I was hearing the beginning of something in my head that could draw from the resources of any genre without having to live in those lines, and in reading the liner notes of Score, I really vibed with the similar impulses that were driving the beginning of Zs for founders Sam Hillmer and Alex Mincek: as Mincek reports, "Sam and I wanted to be something that was blurry."
Ironically, being "blurry" in the sense of genre transcendence requires an almost inconceivable level of focus and discipline, individually and collectively, and that kind of intense attention to detail is one of the main forces behind the music of Score. Most of the pictures online are too small to make out the details, but the outer box artwork in this collection is a composite of military ribbons. In one sense, this album art highlights Zs as an incredibly disciplined military unit, thoroughly practiced and capable of perfected surgical strikes. From a performance perspective, the Zs sextet was certainly capable of almost impossible musical acrobatics, and the military theme has a certain resonance.
But with Zs, one has to consider a broader compositional scope in addition to breathtaking performance capabilities, and from that perspective, the military iconography takes on a more complex significance: Zs is a military unit acting in opposition to the hollow, insincere trappings of New Music performances, the stale air of classical performance spaces and the bureaucracy of academia, polite clapping deployed carefully at the ends of pieces and never between movements. This music might borrow from a vocabulary and conceptual palette often associated with "academic music," but it succeeds in a more immediate way by simple virtue of being played in front of "normal" people at shows including various kinds of rock/pop music.
To the extent that this music is demanding to listeners, it's also true that it demands even more head and heart to compose and play–there is an undeniable spiritual component underlying the conception and performances of these pieces, and even hearing the music as recordings-from-afar, you can accurately guess what performances might often be like: the crowd gathers in close around the band, the band turns within and plays impossibly hard. Everyone has to give. And collectively, everyone receives, too: the pretentious distance of art music appreciation dissolves as quickly as postmodern sarcastic self-referential TV culture detachment, and everyone has a legitimate shared experience and becomes part of a community, at least for a while. As Hillmer reports, "I have serious reservations about how much gravity something can have that's taking place outside the logic of community," and at least within the Brooklyn scene that got to directly experience this period of Zs performing and evolving, I think this is both the ultimate triumph of the pieces documented in this box, as well as their ultimate potential for experience with a broader audience. Sometimes it seems like it would take an army to cut through the caustic layers of attitude and apathy that pass for "culture" today, and the Zs sextet was the right kind of army.
I realize that I'm heaping praise before I've even described the music. Forgive me–it's an enormous task to describe 4 discs documenting five years of nearly impeccable musical activity and evolution. Your best bet, seriously, is to drop what you're doing and dig into Score. But if you need at least some generalities before you commit, the first three discs of the box are organized chronologically by release date. The early self-titled Zs release, which I first happened upon years ago on iTunes, first made me think of relatively recent Anthony Braxton work, particularly the "ghost trance music" period. That's a good starting point, as the music develops through similar kinds of focus on systems and their fortification/refinement, but as much as I'm a fan of Braxton's work, Zs is even more intense. In addition to a similarity in compositional discipline, the presence of saxophones as dominant instruments has given both Braxton and Zs a parallel uphill battle in terms of transcending a similar "Saxes? This must be jazz, then" form of lazy musical interpretation. But Zs doesn't need to Swing to mean more than a Thing.
From there, the music on this box gets increasingly difficult to describe in terms of pre-existing forms, as Zs continued to evolve into a bewilderingly powerful unit, drawing from many disciplines without committing to any. I suppose that it's fair to say that over time, a dominant theme that one must confront in the music of Zs has to do with ever-shifting distinctions between minimalism and a sort of maximalism/brutal-prog attack. Small cells can repeat and subtly shift, and when they're played long and hard enough, ostinatos become drones, become oppressive walls, become transcendent doors to B sections that arrive just in time. That minimalism/maximalism continuum is violently and even religiously shifted in perspective and context, in ways that are usually unexpected but seem perfect once you hear them. As a listener, you have to be able to both "hold on" harder and "let go" faster than you ever have before. But you will be richly rewarded: by the time we get to the music of the "Arms" LP, which takes up most of disc 3 in this box, Zs has become an absolute genre unto themselves.
"Arms" is my favorite of the albums contained in the Score box. I've been listening to it regularly for five years, but I still don't think I'm capable of articulating the special magic of this record. My favorite piece on the album, though, and one of my favorite pieces of music ever, is the Charlie Looker-penned "Nobody Wants To Be Had," which I've discussed a bit before in my review of Looker's most recent album with his Extra Life band. Hearing this music alone is well worth the very reasonable cost of admission to this box set (under $30 for 4 discs!), and there is so much more to discover.
You'll get a chance to hear those extramusical, "music as community" aspects of Zs' work mentioned above within "Score," too. The "Buck" cassette release is included here, for example, which is a fascinating document that shows both how these pieces continued to develop and change (especially in tempo) as they were played live, and well as capturing some of the live atmosphere around Zs performances: these are loud clubs. People are listening intently, but they're also talking, drinking, sometimes laughing, and the band banter is funny at times, too. It's so refreshing to hear this music played to real people, no jacket required. The inclusion of various remixes of Zs pieces throughout the box represents another aspect of this music being absorbed into the greater culture, too: it's hard to imagine most new music composers developing the kinds of social and musical relationships with the rest of the "normal" world to have occasional remixes become a normal part of their work. They're good remixes, too.
"Score" isn't one of those box sets made in a crazy oversized shape that forces you either to hide the thing after listening or leave it out somewhere to become an endless topic of conversation every time someone visits your house: it's housed in a tight, clean box that should fit right onto your CD shelves, right at the end of the alphabet where music keeps evolving, and where you'll always be able to find it (it's time to throw out those ZZ Top "Nice Price" discs, son). But I'm not even bothering to make room for these albums on a shelf–I can't imagine more than a few days passing without these discs getting some play time. The 20 page essay included in the box is a great read, too, covering both this sextet period of the band as well as more recent efforts through the "New Slaves" period of Zs. The layout also includes some interesting score snippets, if you're interested in what the scores of "Score" actually look like. My only minor quibble with the box is that this essay was already published a couple of years ago by New Music Box, but it makes sense that they ran with it–it's easily the best piece of journalism on Zs that's been done to date. And I hope more people find out about Zs through the release of this box set, and more articles get written, and young musicians get the chance to experience this stuff and take it to the next crazy level.
If you check out "Score" and you're hungry for more, members of both this original sextet lineup of the band and later iterations have all played in a wide variety of other bands that I would count as mind-blowing essential listening: Period, Extra Life, Normal Love, and Little Women are four of my favorites, and there are many more. After all, the Zs sextet might have been an impossibly tight unit, but they were also the catalyst for a much wider community. Or as an anonymous poster recently put it on Brooklyn Vegan, "You dis Zs, you dis yourself."

I have tried at least 500 Frozen Margharithas at at least 300 places the last 15 years. The on at Caliente Cab is by far the best one I have ever tried. AMAZING.

I took my husband here for his bday and we had a good time. There was no waiting to be seated, abd we got great seats by the window. The place is roomy and not small and cramped. Inside has romantic dim lighting and tables nicely spaced apart. They play music kindda loud but we didn't mind since we love that kind of atmosphere. Our server was polite and helpful, taking the time to explain what each item was. There was another table close by with a larger group having dinner, that was extremely loud and none of the emplyees asked tehm to keep it down. That was my only annoyance for the night. I also like the fact that they are opened pretty late. We got there minutes to 12am on a Saturday night. The food was ok, not the best, but certanly not the worst I've had. So overall i would say the atmosphere of the restaurant is great for going out with freinds, boyfriend/girlfriend, and juts hanging out to have a good time with food and music. I don't know whats up with all the bad reviews, the place is not horrible or close to it, and trust me I am the most picky person ever. Try it for yourself, don't let the bad reviews discourage your from trying this place.

The food is terrible and way overpriced. Even for a NYC restaurant, the service is the worst I have ever experienced. I went with two friends just to get chips and guac a few months ago. We walked in at 10pm or so on a Thursday night to a nearly empty restaurant (now I know why) and it took them 15 minutes to seat us. Then it took an addition 20 minutes to take our order and 20 more to serve it. You'd be better off going to Taco Bell where I'm sure the guy taking your order behind the counter has ten times the personality as the servers at this place.

I go here for two reasons: 1) Good, chunky, freshly-made-to-order, mortar & pestle guac done at your table side. 2) Margaritas with a kick. Besides that, it's a gaudy tourist trap making a craptastic attempt at Mexican food (I can't even bring myself to call is cuisine). But if you're in the area with good weather and no wait for an outside, patio sit down? Snag it, have the guac and a 'rita, and enjoy!
Posted by SoRandom on 07/13/2010
So normally you can go to any Mexican Restaurant and be guaranteed that the chips and salsa are free. At Caliente's you pay $2 for chips and dip. Thats like going to Red Lobster's and having to pay for the rolls. $14 for watered down alcohol beverages, and let's not forget that they consider sour creme a side, and charged me a $1. For chips and dip, and 2 ten dollar plates and 3 drinks $70.00. Rip Off!!! And the service sucked.

My girlfriend and I went for dinner at this restaurant not too long ago and we were not expecting to be so disappointed with the food, atmosphere and service. I read some of the reviews on Menupages before going, which included the warnings about it being a tourist trap, but decided to go there anyway. There was nothing that this place could have done right. The margaritas were bland and watered down because of the ice (we ordered large margaritas in the very tourist-friendly souvenir glasses). The fresh guacamole tasted like it was made from unripened avocados and did not have any salt. The tortilla chips were greasy, thin and some were overdone. The burrito tortilla was burned and the shrimp taco tasted like sea water. My girlfriend's dish was so terrible we don't even remember the name of it. We didn't eat more than a few bites of the main course and had them pack it up to go. On the way to the subway station we were hoping to give the food away to anyone who may be in need. On second thought, it would have been an insult to give that food to anyone. We will never eat there again and should have heeded the warnings about this being a tourist trap. The music was okay.

the temperature constant of the viscometer in use
to provide the viscosity, expressed in centistrokes.

Scarborough council approves Cabela's plaza zoning changes
SCARBOROUGH — Shoppers may soon enjoy the convenience of drive-through restaurants, see new signs and participate in special events at Gateway Plaza now that a fifth amendment to the contract zone has been approved.
The Town Council voted 5-1 Wednesday to approve the amendment to the town's contract zoning agreement with New England Expedition, the company that owns the Cabela's plaza. Councilor Karen D'Andrea voted against the amendment.
"I see this as a huge continuing departure from the contract zone's intent," said D'Andrea, adding that there were parts, such as the sign rules, that she did not oppose, but that including drive-through restaurants and events was not part of the original vision for the plaza.
The amendments will allow up to four drive-through restaurants in the plaza and special events for up to two days in the parking lot. It would also allow new signs on the current Cabela's pylon, holiday-themed banners on the lamp posts, and new business directory signs closer to highway ramps.
"These are very difficult economic times," said Barry Feldman, owner of the plaza. "As a responsible owner of real estate, we not only want to maintain, but enhance the lives of those who have entrusted themselves and their businesses to us."
Feldman said any events would be geared toward attracting new customers. For instance, next year's state moose lottery event is being planned for the Cabela's parking lot.
After several councilors expressed concern that out-of-state farmers markets could compete with the existing Scarborough Farmers Market, language that would have allowed the markets in the plaza parking lot was struck from the amendment by a vote of 4-2, with Councilors Ronald Ahlquist and Jessica Holbrook opposed.
In other business, the council unanimously approved the name Snowberry Ocean View Park for the new park at the end of Pine Point Road.
The park is named after an amusement park that existed on Pine Point at the turn of the 20th century.

Bunk Bed King - Guide to Bunk Bed Assembly.
You have checked the bunk bed you have bought follows the proper Safety regulations. You have gone through agonizing decisions over Color and Style. The kids have opened all the boxes and it is in pieces all over your floor. Where to begin.
- Move all the boxes to the room where the bunk bed will live. It's almost impossible to get a finished bunk bed through most doorways.
- Check to make sure none of the pieces are damaged or missing. Use the assembly instructions as a guide.
- Follow the instructions. It will also help to sort and identify each piece of hardware before assembly. Two people working on the assembly are better than one. Assembly instructions are included with the hardware for each bunk bed.
- When all the pieces are put together, double-check that all the screws are securely tightened. Recheck after a couple of weeks of use to make sure everything is safe.
- Place the mattresses on the bunks. Read the bunk bed rules printed on the bed to your kids. Then enjoy!

Kansas City, Mo. -- The Missouri Southern men's basketball team has been picked to finish sixth in the coaches and fourth in the media MIAA preseason basketball polls, the league announced today.
The Lions return six players and two starters from last year's NCAA Tournament team that went 22-8 and ended the season ranked 23rd in Division II.
Returning to the starting lineup will be juniors Marquis Addison and Jordan Talbert. Both were All-MIAA selections a season ago with Addison earning third-team honors and Talbert named an honorable mention selection. Stephen Atkinson, Morgan Smith and Matt Everson all saw time last year and will help bolster a solid bench, while Greg Renfroe was redshirted last season, but practiced with the team and earned valuable experience.
The Lions welcome in eight newcomers to the lineup that include four freshman, three junior college transfers and one four-year transfer.
Southern starts the season receiving votes in the Division II Bulletin national poll. The public will get a chance to get a look at the 2012-13 Lions this Thursday evening at Meet the Lions night at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. The Lions have a pair of exhibition games at Oral Roberts on November 1 and at Missouri on November 4 and open up the regular season at home on November 9 against John Brown.
The complete MIAA polls are listed below.

iPad 2 'spotted' in the wild as Apple job ad fuels camera speculation
Reuters claims to have spotted an iPad 2 at last night's launch of The Daily, although it has no pictures to prove it. Meanwhile, iPad 2's display continues to be the subject of speculation.
If you saw someone clutching an iPad 2 at an Apple press event, what would you do? Well, obviously you'd take the owner to the nearest Bavarian bar and get the beers in. But you'd take a photo first, wouldn't you? Sadly, if you're "a Reuters eyewitness", you wouldn't.
The news service claims its source spotted an iPad 2 at last night's launch of The Daily , Rupert Murdoch's new iPad news app. The device appeared to be working, with a front-facing camera at the top edge of its glass screen, Reuters reports, before hedging its bets and claiming that "the final release model could have other features". Well, you'd hope so.
The existence of a working iPad 2 with a camera is hardly a surprise, although the fact that an Apple staffer was blithely strolling around a roomful of journalists with one is rather more shocking.
Elsewhere online, 9 to 5 Mac claims to have procured a Chinese screen that's part of the batch destined for the iPad 2. It reports that the display is lighter and more than 1mm thinner than the screen from the first-generation iPad, although it hasn't managed to establish what pixel resolution the new screen has. Which, if we're honest, is the really important question.
The fact that the iPad 2 will have at least one camera barely qualifies as a secret any more, but if you need more confirmation, check out this job listing from Apple, which is recruiting an iOS photography software engineer to work at its Cupertino headquarters.
"Apple's Digital Photography team is looking for a dynamic software engineer with the drive and desire to deliver great photography applications for the Mac and iPad platforms," explains the ad. "As a member of the team, you will help us with text rendering and editing and HTML generation for publishing and viewing photo-based content."
AppleInsider spotted the job listing, and suggests that whoever gets the job may end up working on Apple's new Photo Stream service, which has been tipped for inclusion in a future update of the iOS software to help people share their photos.

Zubiak Getxo Film Festival: 90 short-films against discrimination
90 works were presented to the first contest of short films for diversity and against discrimination. The Zubiak Getxo Film Festival is a new festival that has a focus on anti-racist films. The films have arrived to Getxo - the Basque country city organizing the contest- from different parts of the world including U.S.,UK, Germany and Turkey. The contest was held on March 28th and 29th, 2012 in the Cultural Hall of Villamonte, Getxo.
Afvist (UK) has just won First Prize at Zubiak Festival. Afvist was made without any public funding and was made to support the Iraqi refugees in Brorson's Church, Copenhagen, during 3 months in 2009. The film has been travelling around festivals, and among others has been screened at CPH: DOX, Nordisk Panorama and Milano Film Festival. A film we should surely watched.

Gone are the days of sticking strictly to matching prints and patterns when selecting textiles for your house or apartment. There are so many ways to incorporate multiple colors and patterns to create a unique space. Here are five ways you can mix prints to design an eye-catching and creative home:
Subtle Prints: Ease into mixing prints by placing them on a neutral backdrop. Whites, grays, and earth tones can balance out any color or pattern. Try selecting three throw pillows, including one solid color and two different prints.
Bolds & Black: Multi-colored stripes and floral prints can be mixed effortlessly, and a black wall makes bold colors pop!
Background Patterns: Stripes and delicate florals can play a supporting role with neutral elements, such as this hanging chair, as the primary focus.
Modern Florals: Mix multiple floral prints by choosing a specific color palette and offsetting it with matching solid or white accents.
Random Mix: As long as there are several solid colors included, stripes and prints can be mixed somewhat haphazardly to form a creative living or sleeping space.
Take this inspiration, and start mixing it up!

By John Perrotto
Clint Hurdle made an extremely media-savvy move earlier this week.
After right-hander Charlie Morton was hammered for eight runs in two innings by the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night at PNC Park, Hurdle attributed the poor outing to arm fatigue rather than bad pitching. Hurdle pointed out that Morton had already pitched more innings this season (86) than he did last season (79 2/3) at the major-league level.
It was perfect subterfuge. By talking about Morton's physical condition, it took away all the questions about his performance. Thus when a pack of reporters talked to Morton at his locker, most of the conversation was about his arm instead of getting shelled.
While Morton admitted that his pitches had lacked some life in recent starts, he seemed a little surprised when advised that Hurdle had mentioned arm fatigue and was considering skipping his next start.
