The Black Keys

"We''re fans of so many different types of music and different types of producers," the Black Keys'' Patrick Carney says from San Jose, CA, the morning after attending the CMA Awards. "We love the way that records sound when they just sound good. That can be anything. A Phil Spector record or a Tony Visconti record. We''re a heavily influenced band, song to song and instrument to instrument. We try to reference as many different things as possible. On El Camino we''re referencing The Clash and The Cramps but at the same time David Bowie producing Lou Reed. That feeling. Some of the tones. We''re just borrowing little elements from everything. Guitar tones from The Cramps, drum sounds from Stax Records."
Barely one year after Brothers rocketed the Black Keys'' blues-bitten skronk ''n'' roll into the national consciousness, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney return with El Camino, a Stax-sanctified, Sun Records-reverberating, wall-of-sound heightened album that betters Brothers like color bettered black and white, like stereo elaborated on mono, like Sgt. Pepper''s expanded Revolver. Produced by Brian Burton (a.k.a. Danger Mouse) and the Black Keys and engineered by Kennie Takahashi and Collin Dupuis at the band''s new Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, El Camino guarantees hit singles built on inclusion, not dilettante-ism. The songs are wide-ranging, from the opening single "Lonely Boy" to the Pretenders-worthy groove and glowing vocal chorus of "Dead and Gone," the strangled chords, Farfisa belch, and Keith Richards-styled guitar of "Gold on the Ceiling," the lowrider strut of "Money Maker," and the distressed vocals and Exile on Main Street vibe of "Mind Eraser." El Camino is the Black Keys at full force.
Where Brothers often treaded in a hazy, psychedelic smog, El Camino is a direct soul bomb—all R&B, all the time. Auerbach allowed Takahashi to expand on the Black Keys'' minimalist miking techniques, but he still insisted on simplicity. Easy Eye Sound is a Spartan studio outfitted with a rare 1969 Quad-Eight console, various Urei and Pultec pieces, Auerbach''s beloved Altec 16567A mixers, and other vintage gear. Drums and guitar were recorded mostly live (without baffles) as the bed for each track in Easy Eye Sound''s spacious live room. Vocals were cut in the control room; a tiled bathroom was used as an echo chamber. (There''s copious echo on El Camino, though the band largely credits engineer Tchad Blake''s mix.)
"We''ve figured out what we like to use," Auerbach explains from Nashville. "It''s all very simple, not a lot of stuff, not a lot of mics. We use dynamic mics and old tube line mixers like the Altec 1567A. We wanted El Camino to be very simple, no real album effects, just drums, bass, guitar, organ; that''s it. No studio trickery. It''s certainly a studio album, but we didn''t want psychedelic flourishes or anything that isn''t just a band playing live.
"The album was recorded with all the same stuff we''ve used before," Auerbach continues, "same amps, same drum kit, same setup. We''ve found the sweet spot in the live room where the drums sound best and we keep them there. Then we lay out everything around it. The guitar amp is in the room with the drums. I like lower, 25- to 30-watt, older amps. At the foundation of every song on the new record is a live take of guitars and drums. That helps more than anything to give the songs that human element, that live feel. No metronome involved. Choruses may speed up a little bit, but [recording without a click track] gives us the feel we''re looking for. We''ve done computer arrangements before but we didn''t do it so much this time, although it is an incredible tool. We tried to get the arrangements down while we tracked. We''d cut a live take, start to finish, unedited, and then add overdubs on top of that."

Originally, Patrick Carney was the band''s de facto producer, as the duo recorded with his gear in his basement. But as Auerbach caught the gear bug, he took over recording duties. "We began by making records in my basement," Carney recalls. "I had a Marantz 4-track in high school and a couple of tape machines. Since then, every record we''ve made has been on a completely different setup. We''d divide the advance money and I''d buy a piece of new recording gear. Then Dan started buying really nice equipment. But by 2006 we started working in real studios. El Camino is the first time we recorded in a real studio but made the way that we used to work, where we''re hands-on with everything. We worked at our own pace and engaged the studio however we wanted." Carney adds that there''s been somewhat of a technical limitation to every record they''ve made, except for this one. "With Brothers we only had 12 tracks because of the monitoring setup in the studio. We had to do very minimal miking and arrangements. This time we didn''t have to do that. So we could do three or four guitar tracks, and three or four percussion tracks and multiple background vocals. But there isn''t some great sonic change in this record other than maybe it''s a little more hi-fi than anything we''ve ever done."
Like Carney, Auerbach cites specific influences on El Camino. 1950s rockabilly, Johnny Burnette Trio, even The Sweet. But Auerbach was listening to the feel of the songs, not the sonics. "I prefer ''60s sonics, but I like hip-hop low end," Auerbach laughs.

With Easy Eye Sound''s focus on vintage gear, including two rare Daniel Flickinger 351-1 Program Equalizers ("used randomly on guitars, drum overheads, snare, kick," engineer Dupuis says), an RMI electric piano, and Altec "Voice of the Theater" studio PA, tracking to tape would seem the obvious next step.
"We''re going through all of these tubes and transformers, so tape is not as necessary," Auerbach says. "Everything is literally either going through giant old transformers that were hand-wound in the late ''60s or ''50s tube gear. Sometimes both. Old tube mics or ribbon mics or a great old dynamic that already pre-EQs things. We''ve gone through a lot of gear; you find out what works for you, what gets those sounds. But it has less to do with tape than it does miking technique and the arrangements. When I record a band, I like to track to a 1-inch 8-track tape machine. But when we do a Black Keys record, I step away from the engineering side of things and try not to think about it so much. So I can just focus on the songs."
Danger Mouse''s production touch is subtle on El Camino. Where his hand can be heard in the sleazier sounds and obscure atmospherics of past Black Keys recordings, El Camino is a more straightforward production instrumentally, sonically, and stylistically. Either way, Auerbach thinks the generally close-mouthed Danger Mouse is a misunderstood artist.
"Brian did the Grey Album with Jay-Z but he hasn''t done a hip-hop record since then," Auerbach notes. "He''s not a hip-hop producer. He''s a musician who plays guitar and keyboards, and he listens to The Troggs. We have a lot in common musically. The only thing we talked about was keeping everything simple. There''s things Brian has done in the past with Gorillaz, Broken Bells, and Gnarls Barkley where there''s atmospherics, psychedelics. He''s copping the ''60s feel but making it modern and that''s what we like to do. We''re not trying to be retro, we just appreciate those old sonics. They just feel good. Brian feels the same way, that''s why we get along. We challenge each other and respect each other''s opinions."
Two mindsets were at play during the making of El Camino: The more contemporary, Pro Tools-enabled, multi-miking approach of Danger Mouse/Takahashi, and Quad-Eight-sourced, minimalist-miking style of the Black Keys. Compromise was key, apparently.
"Kennie was the main engineer and he tends to use way more mics than I or Collin [Dupuis] would use on the drum kit," Auerbach says. "When Collin and I do a record, it''s one overhead and one kick. Maybe a spot mic on the top. We did insist on a mono overhead for El Camino."

Takahashi shared a decidedly broad overview of his miking choices and setup for El Camino: "Some fatter mic for the boom foot. Something a bit throaty for the snare. Something with a bit of attack for the toms. Something brighter with the hats. Something less bright or gluey for the overhead. As for room mics: omni, figure-8, cardoid, dark, bright, far, near; various combinations were used. Even mics around the piano were used—it adds a weird resonance. It''s basic and doesn''t matter. Pat [Carney] is about feel. I could''ve probably done the record with an SM58 somewhere in the room and [it ''d] still be awesome. I think."
Carney reveals the Black Keys'' preferred mic setup for guitar and drums, which included 1950s-era WFL and Gretsch kits and an early-''60s Ludwig kit. "There were a couple Electro-Voice Model 668 dynamic mics on guitar amps," he says, "and we use a Unidyne 57 on the bass and snare drums. We use ribbon mics on overheads sometimes or an AEA R44, the RCA rip-off. Occasionally we use a brighter-sounding condenser. Dan used a lot of dynamic mics on vocals. Usually an SM58. An even balance of ribbons and condensers and dynamics. The microphone I love the most is the Beyerdynamic M160; that is the best microphone for guitar. It just sounds really rich and it has a nice bite to it but it''s not too bright. For drums I like dynamics obviously for the kick drum; that can be a Beyer M88, or a Shure 55SH, one of the big ones. That''s what we used on Brothers. I like 57s on the snare drum. We always do the drums in mono, and for overheads I like RCA 77s or KM184s, a small-diaphragm tubeless condenser in mono right at eye level. I like drum mics that can take compression, and don''t sound too bright but still have a slightly spitty sound that can cut through compression. We both like darker tones.
"There are sounds that I hate," Carney continues. "When you walk into a studio, 90 percent of the time an engineer will put a 57 on your snare drum and whatever on the kick drum and listen back with Pro Tools and it will sound so distant and boring. We like things that sound really thick and dull but defined. Maybe a kick drum that has no tone but that hits you in the chest. I don''t like attack. My favorite drum records are definitely from the ''70s: T. Rex''s Electric Warrior, Led Zeppelin, Jackson Five, Black Sabbath''s first four records. I don''t care for the ''60s drum sound, honestly; it''s too old-timey and retro. Lowell Fulsom''s 'Tramp'' is my favorite of the ''60s drum sounds. It just sounds like a four-track recording."
As far as his method for getting a good drum sound, Patrick Carney is more Zen than Zeppelin, preferring to play his kit with less volume and impact in the studio than in concert situations. Seasoned drummers know that drawing the tone out of the drum is preferable to beating the sound into it. Carney concurs. "I play completely differently in the studio than in concert," he explains. "The second half of 'Little Black Submarines'' was kind of loud. That''s how I play live. But normally in the studio I hit the drums way softer. I simplify the drum beats. I''ve found that if you have a less-dense arrangement and hit the drums lighter, they come through and sound a lot bigger. For this album we would get the rhythm tracks together—guitars, drums and percussion—then it was all about all of us writing the vocal melodies and the lead melodies. That was the majority of the focus and time spent on this record, writing those melodies. I''d rather be an accountant than spend time sitting around getting drum sounds. I like stuff that feels real, and if something feels wrong or homemade then I like it more."
Regarding Dan Auerbach''s vocal chain, he used an Electro Voice RE15 and the Altec 1567A tube mixer into the Quad-Eight. Takahashi ran general miking and processing for the session.
Photo: Alysse Gafkjen
"We had Neumanns, RCAs, old EVs, Coles, Royer, Shure, Sennheiser in the studio," Takahashi says. "I believe we even used an Oktava—pretty decent, depending on the application. A ton of mics just hung on stands; we just moved ''em around to get what we wanted. Typically, Neumanns were used when we wanted a touch more clarity. Want less tickle in the cymbals? Grab an old RCA ribbon or Coles. Royers tended to smooth out the high mids. [Their] Unidynes kinda sound good on anything that doesn''t need too much bottom. If we needed more room [sound] in a mic, we''d either move it away from the source, or in the case of some of the ribbons, simply turn it so the lobes were pointing out. Nothing fancy, literally as quick and easy as possible so that the guys could get going and rip. Things get out of focus when an engineer starts nit-picking over some 67Hz ringing or strange midrange phase relationship between a stereo pair. Just f**king move or switch the mic quickly or go to mono. People forget the plot is about the songs and artist."
Processing was also about getting it done—fast and quick. "Processing such as reverbs and delays were temped up in the box; basically, whatever was quickest," Takahashi explains, "almost never complex and completely un-boutique. I believe the most complex effect was a long delay with a sidechained compressor on the output. All of this was done to get roughs to make sure they got the songs and the feel that they wanted to get. Obviously there were effects on the guitar via pedals and maybe some external plates or chambers, but those were just bused together."
Befitting their no-nonsense, stripped-down approach to recording El Camino, the Black Keys offer equally compelling and seasoned advice to anyone looking to replicate their grizzled blues and soul-drenched hi-fi sounds on the cheap. "I am not precious about brands or techniques ''cause everyone who has a technique learned it from someone else," Carney says. "Very few people come up with their own techniques. But there are some great mics you can get for five or six hundred bucks—a few great mics for 100 bucks. That list starts with the Shure SM57. You can make an entire record with that mic. You can do vocals, kick, snare, guitars—you can even use it for an overhead. Of course we were using a bunch of fancy preamps and fancy microphones, but with Pro Tools and the right plug-ins you can get a lot done. I like the SoundToys stuff. Those are the best. I also like the Waves SSL compressor for drums and if you''re mixing in the box, as a mix bus."
"Experiment with miking," Auerbach adds. "Most of the time the large-diaphragm tube mics are not the sound we get. We use our dynamic mics; they''re not really expensive. They give us the sound that we like. Even on the drums. And you can find those tube mixers—even the old ''50s off-brands like DuKane, which are essentially the same RCA rip-off circuit designs; you can find those inexpensively. There''s a misconception about gear. Obviously, people use Neumann mics, but for a lot of the records that we like—Stax and Sun—they used a shit-ton of dynamic mics and simple miking techniques. And you should really think controlled bleed. That''s a lost art form. Ever since the ''70s people have been isolating instruments, but the great records that I like from the ''60s all have a lot do with the controlled bleed creating a stereo spectrum. There''s plenty of options out there, even if you don''t have a lot of money."
Interview Outtakes With the Black Keys'' Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney and Recording Engineers Kennie Takahashi and Collin Dupuis
Dan Auerbach
Regarding his Altec 1567A still and Quad Eight board…
It''s still racked up in the studio, so it''s essentially still there but not in the console. I have four of them; three of them are modded with echo send so we can track with plate reverb live. We like to commit to some effects while recording. Tchad [Blake] is such an audio wizard, even if you put an effect on there and you don''t like it, he can make it go away.
Patrick Carney
When we made the first album we wanted it to sound like something it didn''t sound like. We couldn''t actually get there. That''s been the case with every record we''ve ever made until Brothers, that was the first one where we able to make the music sound like we wanted. That was because we worked with an engineer who knew what we wanted.
On recording drums in mono…
We did that during Brothers. We were listening to a lot of records we liked, and the drums were in mono. Whether it''s just the drums or the whole mix, but most of the drums we like are in mono, like the Jackson Five or T Rex, which seems like it''s in mono. Led Zeppelin has more of a stereo image on the overheads but I''m pretty sure the drums are all pitched right down the center.
Assistant Engineer Collin Dupuis
Tchad Blake mixed the album, so you are hearing his take on our minimal tracking. It''s the best of both worlds. With Brothers, there were only 11 or 12 tracks of audio for each song, total. With somebody like Tchad who mixes all in the box, to mix, it''s like the past meets the future. It makes for really cool results. It helps to retain that real human element and real human quality. You can visualize all the instruments because they''re not clouded with so many damn microphones and overdubs. Yet you can fine-tune things so much with the digital console.
On the 1969 Quad Eight console, with a pair of program EQs built by Dan Flickinger…
They''re special because they are old circuits and the design of the circuit just sounds really good. It''s something that was designed by Dan Flickinger, a rare piece that has its own unique sound similar to other program EQs in terms of functionality, but a different flavor to a Pultec or UA. A little more accuracy, because of the frequency points, there are more of them than a Pultec has. It''s similar to Pultec, but it''s solid-state so it sounds different. The Quad Eight is-American made, simple circuit. It has simplicity of design and sound. Very open sounding, with richness of midrange. If you go back and look at any of that Made-in-America stuff, Quad 8, Electrodyne, from the '60s to early '70s solid-state, the circuit designs back then were really robust and with large transformers that just created a sound of its own. A very hi-fi sound.
On the extra recording spaces in Easy Eye Sound: two bathrooms, one plaster walls, the other tiled…
We use those as echo chambers. You can do things like run sounds into it, rerecord it, use it as an old school echo chamber, creating a space, recording vocals or claps, anything you need to have a sound of a space like that, a bright, echoey sound. Like the older records where the echo chambers are real obvious.
Engineer Kennie Takahashi
How did you retain that classic blues sound for El Camino yet also keep it fresh and contemporary sounding?
It's super-easy to get sounds with these guys; they sound how they sound. Tone is in their fingers, hands, feet. Tone is in the instruments they use.
How much production was analog vs. done in the box? Can you walk me through the recording chain?
There were edits done in the box. If the guys wanted to change the arrangement of a song, and just moving the recorded material around didn't sound awkward...in the box. If it was crap, they just recut it—no use trying to waste time moving shit around to make something work when they could recut the piece in half the time.
I''ve heard that Dan Auerbach has many vintage guitars and amps; can you explain processing/signal chain?
Basically, Dan grabs a guitar plugs it into an amp, maybe through some pedals, and bam—instant tone. Maybe needs a bit more top or a bit more bottom—easily sorted with an EQ at the end of the chain. I just make sure I'm recording, because it's gonna be cool, no matter what.
I hear a real wall of sound re: reverb on El Camino. Was that produced in Dan's studio naturally or did you favor certain hardware of software reverbs?
I assume Tchad used his magic pixie dust reverb, but some of the sounds were naturally done with more ambience from mic proximity, or throwing a mic in the bathroom, or summing a distant mic, or compressing the living crap out of something (which also has the added benefit of noisy analog crap and a touch of extra distortion).

Toyota concept vehicles (1935–1969)
Toyota concept vehicles produced between 1935 and 1969 include:
The A1 was made in May 1935 as Toyota's first complete vehicle. It entered production in slightly modified form in 1936 as the AA.
Sports X[edit]
The Sports X was a concept car shown at the 1961 Tokyo Motor Show.[1] Styling was similar to Italian show cars of the time, with slim pillars and a light roof. A 1900 cc engine was used with other mechanicals based on the Crown.[2] It was not put into production.
Airport Limousine[edit]
The Airport Limousine was a concept car shown at the 1961 Tokyo Motor Show.[3] Based on the Crown, the Airport Limousine was a 6-door wagon that retained the fins and side panels of the Crown sedan. It had three rows of bench seats, allowed seating for 9 people, plus luggage space in the rear section. The 1900cc 3R engine produced 80 PS (59 kW) at 4600 rpm and 14.5 kg⋅m (142 N⋅m; 105 lbf⋅ft) at 2600 rpm. The Airport Limousine was not put into production.
The similar production Masterline wagon (also based on the Crown) had only 2 doors, 2 rows of bench seats to allow seating for 6 people (plus luggage) and simpler side panels (without fins).
Toyota made another 6 door Airport Limousine based on the Crown in 1977. It also failed to make production.
Publica Sports[edit]
|Toyota Publica Sports
|Tatsuo Hasegawa
|Body and chassis
|Sports car
|Body style
|1-door coupe
|Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive
|Canopy doors
|697 cc 2U air-cooled OHV H2

|1,454 mm (57.2 in)
|1,180 mm (46.5 in)
|Curb weight
|690 kg (1,521 lb)
The Toyota Publica Sports was a concept car that was developed from the Publica production car.[1]
The first public viewing was at the 1962 Tokyo Motor Show.[2] It featured just 2 seats, a small but high revving engine and a sliding canopy for entry.
The Publica used a 2-cylinder boxer engine, so the Publica Sports is likely to have used the same engine.
It was further developed into the production Sports 800 but without the sliding canopy. The concept featured 1 canopy door that slides backward.
Corona 1500S Convertible[edit]
The Corona 1500S Convertible was a concept car displayed at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show.[1]
The 2-door convertible body was similar to the 4-door Corona RT20 sedan from the waistline down. The 1500 cc engine used a pair of SU carburettors and was connected to a 4-speed, all synchronised manual gearbox. It was not put into production.
Corona 1900S Sporty Sedan[edit]
The Corona 1900S Sporty Sedan was a concept car displayed at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show.[1]
The 1897 cc 3R engine from the Crown was fitted to a Corona RT20 sedan instead of the standard 1500 cc engine, increasing power to 80 PS (59 kW). It was not sold in Japan but in 1964 it was sold in the American market as the RT30L Tiara, replacing the identical looking 1500 cc RT20L.
Corona Sports Coupe[edit]
The Corona Sports Coupe was a concept car by Toyota shown at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show.[1] Although it used the Corona name, it shared little except for the suspension.
The body was similar to 2+2 coupes produced by many Italian design houses,[4] with simple, clean lines instead of the more pronounced lines of the 1961 X concept car. Even the front indicators were demurely placed within the front grill next to a pair of single headlights instead of the more usual place under the bumper. The swage line started midway along the door, continued to the rear flanks and then raised up before flowing around the rear corners to form the top rear edge of the boot. Unlike other Toyota models of the time, horizontal rear indicators were used as part of the emerging trend in car design.
The engine was the 1897 cc 3R engine from the Crown with twin SU carburettors. Transmission was by a floor shift, 4 speed, fully synchronised manual gearbox. Top speed was 170 km/h.[2]
Crown Convertible[edit]
The 2-door Crown Convertible was displayed at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show, based on the Crown 1900 sedan.[1] Features included a hydraulically operated folding soft top and electric windows. The 1897 cc 3R engine had dual SU carburettors fitted, raising the power to 100 PS (74 kW). Transmission was by a 4-speed column shift manual gearbox. It was not put into production.
Dream Car Model[edit]
The Dream Car Model was a model of a concept car shown at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show.[2] This was designed as a 'running reception room inside a luxurious cabin'. The body was a cab forward van on a stretched chassis. The top half was completely formed from transparent panels, including the roof.
Dream Car[edit]
The Dream Car was a 2-seater concept sports car shown at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show.[2]
Designed to show how Japan's new highways could be used, the EX-I was a 2-seater concept sports car shown at the 1969 Tokyo Motor Show.[2] Styling was similar to the Celica released the next year with more emphasis placed on aerodynamics. A roof mounted spoiler was raised and lowered electrically to increase stability at high speed. The interior was ergonomically designed with a wrap around console so that all switches were within easy reach of the driver. Twin exhausts and bonnet scoops hinted at an engine larger than normally used on Japanese cars.[1]
The EX-II was a 2-seater, fully enclosed electric runabout shown at the 1969 Tokyo Motor Show.[1]
Shown at the 1969 Tokyo Motor Show, the EX-III was the big brother of the EX-I.[2] The larger body was even more aerodynamic, being built very low with a pointed front (no bumper), a long bonnet, sharply sloped sides and a tapered rear. Large exhaust outlets hinted at a gas turbine engine but no details were given.[1]

Since my usual milieu involves helping people find the cheapest drinks possible, I was thrilled to cover a more refined tasting of California natural wine growers, an event that was part of this week's San Francisco Natural Wine Week. Held at Arlequin Wine Merchant in Hayes Valley, the tasting featured five vintners committed to the art and science of growing, fermenting, and bottling wine the natural way.
Ascertaining the definition of "natural" wine can be tricky; most people assume that, like organic food, the name is primarily based on the way grapes are grown and the use of pesticides. Natural winemakers, however, see the growing process as only the beginning, and are just as concerned with what happens once the grapes are picked. Their primary focus is on two winemaking components: yeast and sulfites. In modern winemaking, handpicked, pre-cultured strains of yeast are usually added to the grapes during fermentation; the results are more reliable, but can be same-y and lacking in that ineffable quality the French call terroir. Natural winemakers use the yeast currently in their fields, tanks, and occasionally even the air, in the hope of creating more unique wines that express a sense of place.
Sulfites, specifically sulfur dioxide, are frequently added during the fermentation process with the goal of protecting the grapes and preventing any strange or "off" flavors. While this is an old technique, dating back hundreds of years, increasing amounts of the compounds are also, in the winemakers' opinion, diluting the character of individual wines. While some amount of sulfur dioxide is naturally present in the fermentation process, these winemakers pride themselves on using little to no outside SO2, relying instead on constant monitoring. There are tons of other tenets some winemakers have enacted, from the type of barrels used to the way the wine is bottled, but these two factors form the central rallying point. As Ian Becker, Arlequin's lead wine buyer, described the standard winemaking process: "It's like if you grew organic tomatoes, and then spritzed them with pesticides to make them look good on the shelf." The philosophy is simple: if you're going to go local, natural, and green, why go halfway?
Mission statements aside, however, how do these wines taste? Based on what I sampled, the answer is plain: really good. A bright, lightly fizzy 2007 "Cassia" grenache from Broc Cellars ($25) lit up the tongue with the flavor of crushed berries, while the same maker's Broadside Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon ($19) was mellow and easy-drinking. Many of the wines from Lioco, including the lightly sweet 2008 Sonoma County chardonnay ($20) and the rich 2007 "Klindt" pinot noir ($45), had a funky yet pleasant nose that was reminiscent of really good goat cheese. Another fun experience was trying identical grapes raised in different places: Clos Saron's "Home" pinot noir ($45) had a clean, mineral flavor, while its cousin, the "Texas Hill" pinot ($40), was smoky, rich, and lingered on the tongue.
Natural winemaking can be an expensive endeavor-- taking away all those industrial safeguards increases the risk that a whole batch can spoil or develop an odd flavor-- so it was also refreshing to see that every wine at this tasting was under $45, with five selections below $20. In the overall world of wine, especially the U.S., natural winemaking remains uncommon, but tasters and growers alike expressed hope that the movement will continue to blossom. Even in its current small state, the "natural" label is a great signifier for interesting, unique, and flavorful wines.
The wines mentioned above are available at Arlequin Wine Merchant (384B Hayes St., Hayes Valley). For more information on San Francisco Natural Wine Week, visit their website.

(From Lamar Advertising)
When the neighbors of Mika Nugent, an employee of Lamar Advertising, found themselves in need of shelter for their child, Children's Haven was there to welcome the child into their home. Inspired in part by that act, and in part by the child's subsequent rave reviews of her time at the Haven, the employees of Lamar Advertising began brainstorming on a way to help Children's Haven bring even more holiday memories to the home but stay within their own holiday budgets. From this session was born the idea to donate stockings to be decorated and personalized by the children.
With their vision in mind, the families approached Lamar Advertising management for its support. While the management agreed giving the children the opportunity to personalize Christmas at the Haven was exciting, the general manager felt empty stockings simply would not do. Approval and funding was then provided for the purchase of toys to fill the stockings.
"We wanted to do something that would not only provide for the kids but also allow them to create a great holiday memory," said Gloria Nidiffer, Lamar Office Manager. "Our local branch is small, and we didn't want to put pressure on our coworkers to donate more than their budgets could handle. We quickly realized the memory is far more valuable than any monetary donation we could provide, and the sales at the craft stores made decorating stockings an ideal choice. We also had a lot of fun shopping for the kids!"
Nugent's wife, Jessica, contacted Children's Haven to review their current needs and get feedback on the practicality of decorating stockings. "I spoke with Amy Thompson and was simply floored by her genuine excitement for the kids. Her delight and cooperation solidified our overwhelmingly positive impression of Children's Haven," she said. "My husband and I, like most families, are watching every penny these days. We didn't feel like our donation was comparable to those you generally see in the news. But, Amy's reaction made me feel like a hero anyway. I knew then, we should be letting other families know even the smallest donation really does matter at the Haven."
The families of Lamar Advertising will be making their donation Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at Children's Haven at 701 Picher, Joplin.
If you would like more information or would like to schedule an interview with an employee or family member of Lamar, please call Jessica Nugent at 417-529-7467 or Tim Ketchum at 417-623-7920.

This morning I'm up early to get children ready for school and tackle the Bristol traffic on the way to the clinic.
I check emails at the start of the day to prioritise anything I need to fit in that week, go through referrals to the service to make sure they are appropriate, and see who is attending the clinic. Many of my clinics are in the inner city so I have a higher proportion of patients with different cultures, languages and backgrounds. This means I have to consider their belief systems, eating habits and cooking skills in my advice, often with the help of a translator or a worker from Health Links, our language support and advocacy service.
The people I meet are dealing with their daily life's challenges as well as trying to manage their health condition as best they can. I often have to think quite creatively and tailor my approach and communication methods for each individual patient, to help them put the evidence-based nutritional information into practice.
In between patients, I review a patient's food diary and answer an email query from a practice nurse. Before lunch with my colleagues, I catch up with another dietitian to review one of our many teaching sessions to Bristol Community Health nursing staff to ensure that it has included the most up to date nutrition and dietetic evidence.
The afternoon is spent teaching on our carbohydrate counting course for people with type 1 diabetes. This practical session helps patients understand the factors that affect their diabetes control and how to measure the carbohydrates in their food and calculate how much insulin they need. Seeing the confidence it gives people to manage their diabetes makes this session one of my favourites.
The end of the day involves a quick discussion with a diabetes specialist nurse about how best to manage a patient's diabetes control – we consider not just the insulin he is taking but also his work/home patterns, activity levels and alcohol intake. Together we work out a plan to discuss with the patient at his appointment tomorrow.
I try and leave on time ready to start my next job – feeding the family, taking my girls to their taekwondo training or helping with homework!
About the Diabetes and Nutrition Services (DANS)

"A forest after a rainstorm" – Cabernet Franc from Chinon
Cabernet Franc is traditionally associated with the Loire Valley and red Bordeaux blends, but in recent years the grape has found a distant new home in the wild deserts of Patagonia. For this month's Loire Valley #Winophiles challenge, I set out to investigate how this upstart, untamed Cabernet Franc compares with its refined French cousins from Chinon and Bourgueil in Touraine.
First off, Patagonia and the Loire are both cool climate regions. In Touraine, Franc is often used for refreshing, young wines which can be served chilled in a similar fashion to a Beaujolais. There are also heavier, age-worthy wines which can develop great complexity in the bottle. Raspberries and red cherries are typical, especially for the younger style, while fine aged examples can be reminiscent of "a forest after a rainstorm" (a fancy way of saying herbaceous!). Most Patagonian Francs are more like the fuller Chinon style, boasting similar aromas like roasted red pepper, oregano, and a smoky earthiness.
Accompanying me on my quest to explore Patagonian Cabernet Franc was a trusty bottle of Bodega del Desierto's Desierto 25 Cabernet Franc. While not one of the most stunning Patagonian Francs out there, it is a solid, good value and extremely quaffable wine. On the palate tart red cherries and redcurrants mingle with cedar, oregano, and eucalyptus, while restrained tannins and lifting acidity make it an easy drinker. Serving it slightly chilled could work, but I wasn't about to try it with the cold weather we're currently experiencing!
Talking of cold weather,they don't call Patagonia the ends of the earth for nothing. These are some of the most barren, remote and isolated lands in the world. So how does winemaking here actually work? Well, wine has been grown down here since the 19th century, but the wineries operating there nowadays tend to have a much shorter history; Bodega del Desierto made its first wine in 2004. The winery is based in the province of La Pampa, in the Alto Valle del Rio Colorado (or the High Valley of the Colorado River). This is northern Patagonia so conditions are mild enough to successfully grow wine grapes.
A key benefit of the climate is that summers tend to be cool, with temperatures dropping significantly overnight. This helps the grapes to develop good acidity levels as well as phenolic ripeness, and to produce thicker skins which translates into intense aromas. The nearby river provides Andean meltwater for drip irrigation and it also means that the wines benefit from alluvial soils which add a distinctive minerality.
Another remarkable feature of Patagonian vineyards is the absence of phylloxera thanks to the desert conditions. This means that unlike most European and American vines, the vines planted here are ungrafted. Ungrafted vines tend to produce wines with a greater flavour intensity, although there's plenty of controversy (and a very thoughtful assessment of the whole debate) over this point!
While you're picking your side, you'll probably need some sustenance. Cabernet Franc from Patagonia or Chinon makes a fantastic food wine thanks to its high acidity, soft tannins, and that intense aromatic character. Tomato-based dishes are a real winner, meeting the acidity of the wine head-on, while dishes flavoured with fresh oregano, thyme or rosemary herbs complement Franc's typical herbaceous aromas. It can also work beautifully with rich game or lamb dishes, again thanks to that great acidity and herby aromas.
To harmonise with my wild desert Franc I decided to invent a dish (I'm not really one for recipes!) inspired by local tastes and terroir. My starting place was a delicious recent discovery – a delicate smoked cheese from Patagonia. Since my husband is vegetarian, the "meat" of the dish had to be rich, smoky, earthy veggies which would really open up the savoury character of the Franc. I went with grilled aubergine, topped with sundried tomato and smoked olive oil pesto and the aforementioned cheese, accompanied by velvety lentils and sweet potato seasoned with rosemary and oregano. What a perfect pairing, if I may say so myself. The dish harmonised superbly with the herby wine and elevated its delicate smoky character. Without a doubt one of the best meals we've had in a while, and certainly one to be repeated very, very soon…

Remember how Ryan Zinke used to answer questions about global warming by talking about growing up next to Glacier Park and watching the glaciers recede? Remember Zinke spending federal dollars for a photo op at the Park? Remember when, a few days after his confirmation as Secretary of the Interior, he claimed that he and President Trump wanted to tackle the $125 million maintenance backlog and make the "visitor experience world class"?
Surely, you remember that Zinke told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle earlier this year that one of his top priorities as head of Interior would be "to prioritize the estimated $12.5 billion in backlog of maintenance and repair in our national parks."
It turns out that Zinke doesn't actually care about Glacier National Park at all, issuing a written statement defending the proposed Trump budget's $1 million cut to funding for Glacier and millions more across federally managed lands that Zinke oversees.
There's little doubt that Congressman Zinke has been busy in his tenure at Interior: he's made time for a huge number of appearances on conservative media, for meetings with oil company executives, and for meetings with two people described as "America's own shitlords."
What he hasn't found time to do is to fight for the budgets our national parks desperately need. And because it's Ryan Zinke, you know that he earlier said he would, telling Interior employees right after his confirmation that he would protect the budget:
"I looked at the budget," Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said in his first address to employees. "I'm not happy. We're going to fight about it, and I think I'm going to win at the end of the day."
Our national parks in Montana are more than a backdrop for photo opportunities for vainglorious politicians. They play an essential role in our economy and our character. That Ryan Zinke isn't willing to fight to protect them shows just how little regard he has for the people he once said he represented.

Conran Store Spring 2017 – Michelin House London
I love popping into The Conran shop when I'm in London, there is always so much inspiration to be found.
This spring they have turned their windows into rooms by adding in a sub shopfront as you walk through the doors, it also acts as a backdrop to the windows.
I have noticed a trend building over the last year for using Critall style metal window frames in many stores. But conran have also added simple blocks of colour to some of theirs, i saw lots of stores using colour blocking whilst looking around London.
Conran have continued the colour blocking theme inside their store, using it to great effect on walls, architectural features and fixtures.
They are using it for way finding as well, helping to lead customers on their journey through the store.
I love this trend/style wall they have created in their furniture area, it really stands out and offers customers great simple information.
Love the clash of bright ribbons against this royal blue wall.
Where they do not have a surface to paint they have been inventive and used plants to add the colour.

Ted Baker window Heathrow T5 –
Ted baker has always had a quirky way of communication with its customers, a little bit english eccentric and always with a touch of humour.
This summer scheme i saw at Heathrow's Terminal 5 store is no exception, to me it looks like its a modern spin on the traditional British seaside summer holiday postcards of the 1950s & 60s , but no bawdy seaside humour just Tedisums.
Anthropologie USA – Earth Day Windows 2016
We're pretty big fans of this here planet we call home. That's why, this Earth Day, our window displays are bringing attention to an important source of renewable energy: wind, a pollution-free power source that stores up electricity and saves on water. Our display director, Erika, transformed the sensory delight of a soft breeze into abstract compositions created from fabric, paper and window screening. "I love the femininity of these displays," she said. "There are soft and subdued blues, beautiful pleats and undulating shapes. It's the kind of delicate breeze that causes leaves to flutter, flowers to cling to their petals and water to dance along surfaces."

Highgrove Shop Tetbury – Spring set up by International Visual
After our successful Christmas store set up for the Highgrove estate store, we were asked back to give the store a layout and merchandising refresh for spring.
Here are a few other photos of the completed store.
We used lots of apple crates to give height on fixtures and for holding large amounts of products under fixtures. They are very versatile and can be used in many ways. If you would like to buy apple crates from us please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Oasis Spring Windows London 2016
These days most high street brands are resorting to using just graphics in their windows, probably to either save money or for easy instillation and most are bland and non descriptor, but this Oasis spring window scheme in London caught my eye as the photography is beautiful and striking and because rather than just putting the graphic on the back window they have also used the sides of the windows, which most retailers forget about, but most of us see when approaching the store from the street.
As i passed the store i then noticed that they had used the same graphics on a large scale in the entranceway, which is a nice way to take the scheme inside to attract people in, the fishing real tactic.
Anthropologie London – Spring windows and nifty interior ideas
Following on from last weeks post showing the USA spring windows, London has followed suit with their interpretation on the sun flowers theme. The Regent St store only has two windows so they have created two huge sunflowers using painted paper and card.
When you go inside the store they have followed the panting theme on using brushes dipped in paint at high level, painted canvases on the walls and have strategically placed painted furniture around the store.
And as usual they have been very creative when it comes to merchandising props, making necklace forms and show displays using wood and metal, showing you don't have to spend much money to make things look great but you do need some ingenuity.

The forecast of sales volumes represents a challenge for the production planning. Above all, sales forecasts that are difficult to predict, such as those caused by promotions, are obstructive. Often, additional information from macroeconomic indexes is not topical, the level of detail of products to be forecast too low and the forecast expenditure too high. Aim of a research project therefore is to develop a model based on search engine data to forecast sales volumes at product level. By the use of complementary application of search engine data to the sales forecast is expected that the forecast mistake can be reduced compared with conventional forecast models upon product level. In general it should be clarified whether and in which extend the logistical efficiency of an enterprise can be improved by search engine data based forecast of sales volumes in the production planning.

Tyrolin Puxty: director, author, journalist, actress.
Having already worked with the multitalented Ms Puxty on her novel The Overcast it was exciting to discover another side to Tyrolin's writing in the form of comedy screenplays.
Tyrolin says,
`John is a gem among stones in the world of editing. Honest and straightforward, John's skill and experience have opened my eyes, and his suggestions and encouragement have only increased my love of writing.
I was inspired to write a comedic screenplay after I appeared in a comedy on Australian TV. Embarrassed to send it to John at first; I had no idea whether my format was correct or if it was even funny enough.
I was only too happy when John sent through his notes. He ensured that all dialogue read realistically, explained the need to specify visually, and also helped with character and comedic development.
I consider myself very lucky to have stumbled across John's services online. Save yourself the monotonous Google search and trust me; John is the editor you need if you are serious about your writing!`
Then there was the query letter,
`I had absolutely no idea where to start with a query letter. There are only so many examples you can take from online before you realise you need a trained eye to tell you exactly where you're going wrong. My first draft was long, redundant and downright terrible. John promptly rectified this and within a matter of three drafts, he had helped me craft the perfect query letter. He is fast, efficient and taught me the key things that literary agents are looking for in a query, how to capitalise on that and hook the reader. Even though John points out errors and suggests improvements, he ensures that you, as the writer, are still doing the work. To quote CS Lewis: "The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts". Once again, I am always grateful for John's help and expertise. He is encouraging, insightful, and fuels my dream. As always, thank you John for everything.`
Tyrolin Puxty. Australia.
Thank you, Tyrolin.

"Toy Story 3 and Rites of Passage"It's one of the two Mother's Days here in Thailand. There's one that's celebrated by the rest of the world and there's another observed only by the Thais as it is the Queen's natal day. With the government declaring two days as holidays, we went out to the mall to have lunch and watch a film. And since it was Mother's Day, I got to choose which movie to watch, so off we went to watch Toy Story 3.

I no longer remember the time when I first became one, but I am. I have learned so much from the dead. I have learned that though the dead cease from becoming visible, they remain to be with us. They become part of us. They live on.

What's New April 2008
This page lists changes to this site for April 2008.
See below for other updates and to get notified of changes to the site.
Illicit Drugs
The global illicit drugs market is enormous, estimated at some $320 billion. This makes it one of the largest businesses in the world. Some believe in strong prohibition enforcement. Others argue for decriminalization to minimize the crime and health effects associated with the market being controlled by criminals. Are there merits to each approach? This new article introduces some of the issues.
China, Human Rights, Tibet and Africa
Information was added on the recent violence in Tibet as well as some notes on the growing concern about China's increasing involvement in Africa.
Death toll in the Democratic Republic of Congo exceeds 5 million
A small update was made to the Democratic Republic of Congo page noting that some 5.4 million people have died since fighting first broke out in 1998. This makes it the deadliest conflict since World War II, though by the global media coverage you probably would not know it. It is not just direct conflict that kills, but the knock-on effects. Most deaths have actually come from malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition. The vast majority who have died are children (19% of the population but 47% of the deaths). 1.5 million remain internally displaced or as refugees. It may seem a remote conflict with various neighbors involved, but the rich resources in the DRC means most of the world should have an interest on what goes on there.

HomePod comes with a nice feature called "Personal requests." You can use them to quickly add your reminders, check your messages and even access your notes. The only condition is that your iOS device has to be on the local network. While this feature works perfectly, there is a big downside as anyone can use it. So, if you are concerned about your security, disable personal requests on the HomePod.
You get the option to enable or disable personal requests while setting up HomePod. And just in case you couldn't do so during the setup, you can always turn them off from the Home app on your iOS device.
How to Turn Off/On Personal Requests on HomePod
How to Disable Personal Requests Using Home App on iPhone and iPad
Step #1. Launch the Home app on your iOS device.
Step #2. Now, tap on the Add Home button.
Step #3. Next, you need to tap on your Profile picture.
Step #4. Tap on Personal Requests.
Step #5. Turn off the switch next to Personal Requests.
Then, select For Secure Requests to require authentication on the iOS device.
At any time you want them back, follow the same steps to turn them on.
How to Enable Or Disable Personal Requests During HomePod Setup
Step #1. Put your iOS device near your HomePod. And then, tap on Set Up.
Step #2. Now, you need to choose HomeKit Room for your HomePod.
Step #3. Next, you have to tap on Enable Personal Requests.
Note: Tap on Not Now if you don't want to turn them on.
That's it!
Have your say:
I wish Siri is able to recognize multiple voices sooner than later. Unlike Alexa and Google Assistant, Apple's personal assistant appears to be less efficient on the smart speaker due to several limitations. The only thing makes the speaker stand out from the rest is the incredible sound quality.

Exercise details
- Target muscle: Posterior Deltoid
- Synergists: Lateral Deltoid, Teres Minor, Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, Middle and Lower Trapezius, Rhomboids
- Mechanics: Isolation
- Force: Pull
Starting position
- Place two dumbbells on the floor, one on each side of a flat bench.
- Lie prone (on your front) on the bench and grasp a dumbbell in each hand.
- Spread your legs on the floor for support.
- Keeping your elbows slightly bent, exhale as you raise the dumbbells out to the sides.
- Hold for a count of two.
- Inhale as you lower the dumbbells to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.
Comments and tips
- Ideally, the bench should be elevated to allow the dumbbells to hang straight down without touching the floor.
- You can use either a neutral grip (palms facing inward), as in the illustration, or a supinated grip (palms facing upward). Avoid using a pronated grip (palms facing downward) because there is a greater risk of shoulder impingement.
- To target your posterior deltoid and avoid the involvement of your latissimus dorsi, your upper arms must rise perpendicular to your torso (i.e. directly out to the sides).
- To target your posterior deltoid and minimize the involvement of your lateral deltoid, your torso must be horizontal. That's why the bench must be flat and not inclined.
- See also the lying dumbbell one-arm rear lateral raise.

In 2014 DBIR preview, Verizon says data breach response gap widening
Verizon is touting its largest-ever data set for the 2014 DBIR, but the gap is widening between when breaches happen and when they're discovered.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) is poised to be the largest-ever analysis of data breaches and breach investigations, but it's expected to confirm that enterprises are losing ground in the fight against persistent cyberattacks.
It's clear the bad guys are winning at a faster rate than the good guys are winning, and we've got to solve that.
Wade Baker, managing principal for research and intelligence, Verizon
In a sneak preview of the report for members of the media this week at the 2014 RSA Conference, the communications and security services provider revealed that this year's data set will be derived from nearly 50 contributors, a record number.
The report will include first-time contributions from not only a number of national and international computer emergency response teams, such as CERT Polska and others from Eastern Europe and Latin America, but also from well-known commercial security vendors, including McAfee Inc., FireEye Inc., and Kaspersky Lab, companies that are fierce rivals in most circumstances but are coming together to support Verizon's breach-analysis efforts.
The 2013 DBIR set a record by incorporating breach incident data from Verizon and 18 other organizations around the world; last year's first-time contributors included the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) and the CERT Insider Threat Center at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, both of which are returning for 2014.
Wade Baker, managing principal for research and intelligence at Verizon and one of the authors of the DBIR, said this year's mix of forensics providers, CERTs, vendors and new types of data providers covering areas Verizon has never researched before will result in a report that's "fantastically interesting."
"What we want to bring to you is truly everything we can possibly know about, study it and share its findings," Baker said.
However, the enlarged data set likely won't yield a lot of good news for enterprises. In marking the compilation of 10 years of breach data, Baker said the 2014 report will cover a number of long-term trends.
Previewing one slice of that data, Baker showed a chart illustrating how much time attackers usually need to compromise a target versus how much time organizations typically need to discover such a compromise. While being intentionally vague, Baker said attackers usually need just a handful of days to successfully gain unauthorized access to an organization, while on average, organizations need about 25 days to detect each breach. Worse yet, he added, that time-to-detection gap is widening.
More from RSA Conference 2014
Quickly access all of SearchSecurity's coverage of the information security industry's premiere event.
In 60% of the breaches in the 2013 data set, Verizon found that the initial compromises took place over a period of multiple hours, while 62% of breach events were not discovered until months after the initial compromises.
"If this is the ten-year study of where we've come, it's clear the bad guys are winning at a faster rate than the good guys are winning, and we've got to solve that," Baker said. "It's not a simple solution, otherwise someone would've figured it out by now, but it's actually getting worse."
The 2014 DBIR is expected to be released this spring.
