Karen Black Movies
Though her career of the late '80s and early '90s might indicate otherwise,
Karen Black
is one of Hollywood's finest actresses and has appeared in a number of well-wrought dramas. Born Karen Ziegler, she began her professional acting career after graduating from Northwestern University. After appearing in a few revues off-Broadway, Black enrolled in the Actor's Studio to study under
Lee Strasberg
. She made her film debut as a teenage artist's model in exploitation filmmaker
Herschel Gordon Lewis
' The Prime Time (1960).
In 1965, Black appeared on Broadway in The Playroom which only ran for a month, but did garner her a nomination for a New York Critic's Circle award. She then appeared in
Francis Ford Coppola
's You're a Big Boy Now (1967). She next appeared in
Hard Contact
(1969), but did not become well known until her convincing portrayal of a spaced-out LSD-taking hooker in the box-office sleeper
Easy Rider
(1969). The following year, Black won further acclaim for playing a goodhearted but somewhat dim-witted waitress in Five Easy Pieces. The role earned her a Best Supporting Actress award from the New York Film Critics and an Oscar nomination. With this auspicious beginning, Black went on to appear in a number of major Hollywood features during the '70s. Some of her most notable performances can be found in such films as
Jack Nicholson
's directorial debut
Drive He Said
(1971), The Great Gatsby (1974),
The Day of the Locust
(1975), and
Robert Altman
(1975), where she got to show off her singing ability. In 1975, she also played four roles in the chilling television thriller Trilogy of Terror.
In the decades to come, Black would move from sensational starlet to bankable actress, appearing in several projects per year. As the 90's, 2000's, and 2010's rolled out, Black wouldn't slow down in the least, appearing memorably in everything from Zoe Clarke-Williams' Men to House of 1000 Corpses. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

One man's unguarded honesty threatens to destroy the longtime friendship between an aspiring screenwriter and a successful magazine editor in writer/director Russell Brown's blistering comedy about the high price of being truthful. Sam has written a screenplay. He believes the film he has dreamt up could be his ticket to the big time, but before anything else, he wants to get some feedback from his old friend David. David is a magazine editor who's currently at the top of his game. He doesn't think too much of Sam's screenplay, and his admission of this fact opens up a critical rift between the two longtime writers. As the tension begins spreading to other areas of both men's lives, they suddenly find themselves forced to confront their motivations for becoming writers in the first place. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Into this catastrophe wanders Richard Macedo (Seda), an average businessman of mixed heritage who's about to get lost in Mexico.

Suffering Man's Charity
A failed composer takes in an aspiring novelist/dilettante, only to find himself pushed to the edge of insanity when his charity is taken for granted in this simmering black comedy from director Alan Cumming. John Vandermark (Cumming) has a sizable weak spot for handsome young artists. Upon meeting down-on-his-luck writer Sebastian St. German (David Boreanaz), the sympathetic musician is stirred to help the budding novelist by offering him room and board. It doesn't take long, however, for the generous host to realize that his good will is being trampled by his brash young tenant. When Vandermark discovers that St. German has been sleeping with every woman in sight while casually brushing off his own thinly-veiled advances, the stage is set for an explosive confrontation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A young man leaves his home and family in search of himself in this independent drama. America Brown (Ryan Kwanten) -- called "Ricky" by most of his friends -- was born and raised in a West Texas town where football is treated more like a religion than a game. Raised by a single mother (Karen Black), America's primary male role model has been his older brother Daniel (Michael Rapaport), who has drilled it into Ricky's head that it's his destiny to be a football star. But America has come to hate football, and especially loathes Bo (Leo Burmester), the manipulative coach of his high-school team. Desperate to get away from it all, America runs away to New York City, where he seeks refuge with John Cross (Hill Harper), a one-time football legend from West Texas who gave up the game to become a Catholic priest. As America looks to find a new life, he finds in Cross a man who is still haunted by his past and smitten with a woman in his congregation, Rosie (Élodie Bouchez). America, meanwhile, develops an infatuation of his own with Vera (Natasha Lyonne), a pretty but streetwise girl who waits tables at a neighborhood diner. America Brown was the first feature film from writer and director Paul Black; it was screened at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A troubled young boy suffering at the hands of his abusive older brother seeks solace in the arms of a traveling burlesque circus singer in this surreal, true crime thriller that follows in the tradition of David Lynch's Blue Velvet and marks the acting debut of former Faith No More frontman Mike Patton. Jimmy (Jak Kendall) is a small-town dreamer who only seems to find peace while walking the candy-colored boardwalk of the traveling circus that has recently rolled into town. Emotionally shackled by his mother Eleanor's (Karen Black) religious fanaticism and physically intimidated by his alcoholic brother, David (Mike Patton), Jimmy leads a meek life of servitude and submissiveness from which he is powerless to escape. Upon glimpsing the exotic beauty of sultry singer Sandra (also Black), Jimmy furtively strikes up a friendship with the woman despite ominous signs that she is being held captive behind the microphone by sadistic circus ringmaster Frank (also Patton). When David goes missing and the horrors of Jimmy's home life are mirrored by the suffering of Sandra in the most unexpected ways, the perceived peace of small-town Kansas is forever shattered by the terrifying truth behind the wholesome, white picket-fence facade of suburbia. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls

Based upon Peter Biskind's book of the same name, this BBC-produced documentary traces the rise of a generation of Hollywood filmmakers who briefly changed the face of movies with a more personal approach that pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable onscreen. Influenced by such European directors as Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, and Federico Fellini, the movement kicked off in the mid-'60s with two films directed by Arthur Penn: Mickey One and Bonnie and Clyde. (The latter had been offered to both Godard and Truffaut before it wound up with producer/star Warren Beatty and Penn.) What really kicked it into gear was the unexpected success of Easy Rider, a biker-road movie that became that rare film phenomenon: acclaimed at the Cannes Film Festival and a huge commercial success. Film school graduates, the first generation brought up with movies as their main cultural reference, flooded the studios (whose own regimes were changing) with production chieftains such as Robert Evans of Paramount and David Picker at United Artists; they approved risky-looking projects and allowed relatively untested filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola to take on heavyweight movies such as The Godfather or Hollywood newcomers like Britain's John Schlesinger to make quirky stories like Midnight Cowboy. Enriched by success with their TV show The Monkees, producer Bert Schneider and director Bob Rafelson formed a company that produced not only Easy Rider but seminal '70s films such as Five Easy Pieces and the Oscar-winning Vietnam War documentary Hearts and Minds. Another godfather to the new movement was producer Roger Corman, who gave early career opportunities to Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, and Jonathan Demme on low-budget projects that allowed them to learn their craft.
Two things brought this movement to an end: Some individual filmmakers' personal excesses (such disastrous flops as Dennis Hopper's follow-up to Easy Rider, appropriately titled The Last Movie, and Scorsese's New York, New York), and the studios growing fascination with special effects-driven B-movies. An outgrowth of two box-office and marketing juggernauts -- Jaws and Star Wars -- the resulting films became entertainments rather than personal statements of the directors. Narrated by William H. Macy, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls features vintage clips of Coppola, Scorsese, Beatty, George Lucas, Sam Peckinpah, Roman Polanski, Robert Altman, and Pauline Kael. It also includes original interview material with Penn; Corman; Bogdanovich; Hopper; Picker; writer/directors John Milius and Paul Schrader; actresses Karen Black, Cybill Shepherd, Margot Kidder, and Jennifer Salt (the latter two shared a house in Malibu, a social center for young filmmakers); actors Peter Fonda, Kris Kristofferson, and Richard Dreyfuss; producers Jerome Hellman, Michael Phillips, and Jonathan Taplin; editor Dede Allen; production designer Polly Platt; writers David Newman, Joan Tewksbury, Gloria Katz, and Willard Huyck; cinematographers Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond; agent Mike Medavoy; and former production executive Peter Bart. Among the films discussed are Rosemary's Baby, The Wild Bunch, Mean Streets, American Graffiti, The Rain People, Midnight Cowboy, M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Last Picture Show, Shampoo, Taxi Driver, and Raging Bull. (Three interviewees -- cinematographer Gordon Willis, critic Andrew Sarris, and writer-director Monte Hellman -- listed in the Variety review of this film, were not included in this version from a screening on Bravo.) ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

In this offbeat sci-fi-drama, Rosetta Stone (Tilda Swinton) is a scientist specializing in biogenetics who has made a major breakthrough in artificial biological engineering. Rosetta has created a type of Self-Replicating Automaton, which looks like a human being, but is in fact part machine and part living organism. In order to survive and reproduce, Rosetta discovers her SRAs need certain human genetic compounds that are found only in male semen. Hoping to kill two birds with one stone, Rosetta programs one of her SRAs, Ruby (also played by Swinton) to seduce men Rosetta has found through a website offering paid "fantasy dates," which will provide both needed materials and ready cash. Ruby brings back used condoms, and shares the contents with her fellow SRAs Marine and Olive (both also played by Swinton). However, after their assignations with Ruby, the men find themselves with a strange illness that leaves them with skin outbreaks and the inability to perform sexually. Two health investigators (James Urbaniak and Karen Black) begin interviewing the men infected, which sends them on a trail leading back to Rosetta and her research lab. Meanwhile, the more Ruby comes in contact with humans, the more she finds herself falling under the sway of human emotions, and she finds herself falling in love with Sandy (Jeremy Davies), a shy man working at a photocopying center. Shot on digital video equipment by acclaimed cinematographer Hiro Narita, Teknolust was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Taking his cue from such 1970s horror classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), animated rocker Rob Zombie goes celluloid with the throwback shocker House of 1000 Corpses. Running low on gas as they travel the highways of America in search of the ultimate roadside attraction, a group of teens pull into Captain Spaulding's (Sid Haig) museum of oddities (which also offers fried chicken and gasoline) only to become obsessed with uncovering the mystery of a legendary local maniac known only as Dr. Satan. When an attractive and mysterious hitchhiker subsequently offers to give the thrill seekers a personal tour of Dr. Satan's old stabbing grounds, a breakdown forces them to take refuge with a group of menacing oddballs as a fearsome storm rages outside. As the evening progresses and the backwoods hosts' Halloween festivities become ever more threatening, the teens soon realize that the legend of Dr. Satan may hold a bit more contemporary weight than any of them had previously thought. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

What can help one woman overcome the fears, anxieties, and traumas of a lifetime? Perhaps the music of Stevie Nicks? Gypsy (Sara Rue) is a woman in her mid-twenties who is still emotionally stuck in adolescence; her job (at a drive-through photo processing center) is nothing to write home about, and her one consuming interest in life is the music of Fleetwood Mac diva Stevie Nicks. Gypsy has gone beyond collecting Stevie's records, and loves to dress up like her idol, belting out her songs in living tribute. One of Gypsy's only friends is Clive (Kett Turton), a goofy goth kid still in his teens who enjoys hanging out in cemeteries, where he and Gypsy can sing their Fleetwood Mac favorites for preservation on Clive's camcorder. One day, while browsing the Internet, Clive discovers a website advertising a "Night Of 1000 Stevies" at a New York City nightclub, in which any Stevie Nicks imitator is welcome to take the stage in tribute. Clive is convinced this is an event Gypsy cannot miss, but it leaves them with only four days to get their act together and travel from Sandusky, OH, to the Big Apple. In addition, Gypsy has her own issues to deal with in New York, the city her mother ran off to when she abandoned her family many years ago. Gypsy 83, Todd Stephens' first feature after his breakthrough success Edge of Seventeen, premiered at the 2001 L.A. Outfest, a festival devoted to gay- and lesbian-themed films. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A pair of minor league crooks discover they're playing way out of their league when they have to face off against a legion of supernatural beasts in this tongue-in-cheek horror opus. Two low-level thieves think they've discovered a big score when they manage to steal a rare and ancient artifact that's long been held in a secret tomb. However, they don't realize just how big an item they've lifted until they realize that the relic is capable of summoning up demonic spirits; taken from its sanctuary, the artifact lets loose a legion of monsters upon the world, and the thieves are forced to turn to an angel of the dark world in order to send the demons back from where they came. Rodney Rowland and Kevin Patrick Walls star as the thieves in over their heads, while the supporting cast is dotted with horror and exploitation film notables, including Karen Black, Robert Davi, Brad Dourif, and Michael Ironside; former teen pop singer Deborah Gibson also appears in a cameo role. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Ms. Kevorkian
, about a gun-toting babe who's passionate about assisted-suicide, the bank wants to foreclose on his hallowed studio and sell his film archive for $8 a pound. In absolute desperation, he reaches out to his estranged daughter Paloma (Janeane Garofalo), who grudgingly agrees to be the president of his production company in spite of numerous moral qualms. Along the way, the film features interviews with such real-life luminaries as Peter Bogdanovich, Roger Corman, and blaxploitation stalwart Fred Williamson, that paints a picture of a relentlessly gung-ho producer whose work somehow manages to rise above nothing budgets and lackluster talent. They also highlight Fineman's penchant for hitting on his leading ladies; Karen Black recalled one incident by noting, "It helped to be drunk."

In Linda Kandel's comedy-drama Mascara, three friends find themselves dealing with the not always enjoyable prospect of turning 30 at a time when their lives are already unstable. Rebecca (Ione Skye) has trouble holding a steady job and has gone though a long series of affairs with older men. Her latest boyfriend, Nick (Steve Jones), is a middle-aged photographer who shows a less than wholesome interest in his ripening teenage daughter. Laura (Lumi Cavazos) has just ended a seven-month marriage with Donnie (Steve Schub), who helpfully maxed out all her credit cards before she dumped him. Laura works as a therapist, but she doesn't have much patience with other people's problems at the moment. And Jennifer (Amanda de Cadenet) has separated from her husband after discovering he had a mistress for a short time. Jennifer's response is to throw herself into a series of one-night stands with casual acquaintances and relative strangers -- one of whom she beats when their lovemaking gets too rough for Jennifer's liking. Mascara also features a supporting performance from Karen Black as Rebecca's Aunt Eloise, who has a habit of telling her what she either already knows or doesn't want to hear. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A failed actor discovers how little it takes to be a V.I.P. in a small town -- and what can happen when you abuse that small amount of fame -- in this independent drama. Philip Van Horn (Trevor St. John) left his tiny hometown of Cuba, Missouri, to move to Hollywood, with big dreams of making it as an actor. Thirteen years later, Philip has nothing but a handful of walk-ons and bit parts to show for his ambitions, and he returns to Cuba to visit his mother Rose (Karen Black) feeling like a failure. However, most of the locals treat him as if he's a big shot -- after all, he's been in movies with Jeff Bridges and Molly Ringwald, so he must be some sort of star, right? Philip knows better, but he doesn't let on, since he hopes his new reputation in town will attract the attention of Dorothy (Mary Stuart Masterson), his unrequited crush from high school who still lives in Cuba. However, the last 13 years have been much crueler to Dorothy than Philip; she's now a depressed, alcoholic hairdresser involved with Ezra (Jon Favreau), a racist thug who thinks that blacks are to blame for his inability to get out of town. Dorothy and Philip soon fall into a romance, which does not please Ezra, who already has a number of local drug dealers after him. Karen Black and writer/director George Hickenlooper both won awards for their work on this film at the 1998 Hermosa Beach Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Conceiving Ada
In 1980 the U.S. Department of Defense named the Ada programming language in honor of Lord Byron's daughter, the mathematician Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), credited as the "first computer programmer" because of her plan for calculating Bernoulli numbers. Lady Ada was 18 when she met Charles Babbage and learned about his Analytical Engine. She expanded his concepts into an 1843 article on the subject, and she also predicted the sound and graphics possibilities of computers. This science-fiction film features Ada Byron King as the central figure. Directed by video artist Lynn Hershman Leeson, the co-director of Shooting Script: A Transatlantic Love Story (1992), it also includes a few cast members known for cyber-communications, such as Timothy Leary (filmed nine days before his death) and John Perry Barlow (Grateful Dead lyricist and Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder), plus "electronic Victorian" music by The Residents (who moved from pure sonic explorations to CD-ROM virtual experiences).
Artificial intelligence researcher Amy Coer (Francesca Faridany) uses cybertechnology tactics to probe the past in hopes of locating Ada Byron King (Tilda Swinton), her spiritual mentor. Receiving input, time-tracking tips, and guidance from cyber-guru Sims (Timothy Leary), Amy is successful, and the two women communicate over the centuries, although Ada is initially puzzled. Comparing notes, they find gender is a setback, since Charles Babbage (John O'Keefe) receives recognition while Ada's ideas are forgotten. Amy's research encounters roadblocks set up by her boyfriend Nicholas Clayton (J.D. Wolfe). Amy is pregnant and plans to name her child Ada, hoping that she can overcome the long-standing gender barriers. Shown at 1997 film festivals (Sundance, Toronto). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Fantastic fast portable drive
I bought this drive to hold all my media when editing with Final Cut Pro X. It's beautifully designed, very quiet, and very fast ( I bought this drive to hold all my media when editing with Final Cut Pro X. It's beautifully designed, very quiet, and very fast (I have copied files to it via USB 3.0 at around 128 MB/second).
It can play back full quality optimised 1080p 50p video with no glitches whatsoever. However, I have not done any multicam editing in FCPX yet, so I can't comment on how it would perform in that situation.
I liked the drive so much, a week later I bought a second which now holds a backup of all my Final Cut Pro X media!
- Small form factor
- Very quiet
- Very fast
- Good range of ports (one USB 2 / 3, two FireWire 800)
- All cables come in the box
- Comes with a leather carrying case which has room for both the drive and one interface cable
- No A/C adaptor in the box if you ever wanted to use it attached to a non-powered USB hub ... although how many people would actually have that problem these days?
- The leather case is rather thin and flimsy, the complete opposite of the drive itself! A little more thought could have made the case a much more pleasurable thing to use ...
Overall a highly recommendable drive. …- Written by David H from Leatherhead

You would not achieve the same 10Gb/ps (1.25 GB/ps) sequential read/write speeds of Thunderbolt, but it would definitely work. Just make sure you buy the Thunderbolt to FireWire adaptor, because it will not work the other way around.
But, you can also use the built in USB 2.0/3.0 port that came built-in on your iMac. The data transfer rates will be faster, if your iMac features USB 3.0.

Is this the Roomba of the future?
Oh, no! Did woot and Roomba divorce?
A Roomba competitor? Blasphemy I say.
Oh god, the roombas are evolving. Quick- to the fallout shelters!
How did I know there was gonna be a vacuum? Something about "let's worry about vacuums tomorrow"... oh, chocolates, how you tease.

How does this compare to a Romba floor vac??
Does this shape make a better seat for cats?
This looks amazing. i Paid this much for a mr mint a couple months ago, with half the funcitonality. I'm irked. this is much cooler.
Not a fan of the 80s styling.
It looked like an old school Playstation 1 from the thumbnail pic. So much for my hopes that woot was going retro tonight.
How does the new guy handle rug fringe? Any first hand experience out there?
Why does this look like a old school nintendo transforming into something?
this must be what you get when a Roomba mates with an old-school Nintendo
Woot and Roomba are having relationship problems... Apparently THIS is what woot picked up on the rebound. (Woot was VERY drunk at the time).

Wouldn't be interested at half the price. I'd say it doesn't suck, or it does, no matter. C'mon, Woot, an expensive piece of nerd cleaning gear, we are tired of vacuums at high prices.
Something's fishy about the amount of "home robotic vacuum systems" you sell on this site, Woot. Almost...almost as if...*gasp* It's almost like you want every Wooter on this site to purchase one of these things because they're really mind-control devices that are going to brain wash us all and turn us into your perfect, competition crushing army!!!

Oh woot, Does roomba know you're cheating on it? Think about all the little charging stations and virtual walls and get your sh*t together. Man up and do the right thing.
Looks like a Nintendo accessory from the 80s. Roomba is definitely the winner as far as looks.

Your wife sheds? I hope you don't tell her that.
Hmmm, I think that I've figured out the parentage of this thing: and Maybe?
XV-11 and XV-12 are identical, except for the color of the plastic case. XV-12 is the "Target only" version. In white. Same everything else. XV-1x versus Rooma: Rooma bumps around the room randomly, hoping to cover it all eventually. The Neato has a laser distance scanner that maps the room and covers it methodically. Because the Neato covers the area more efficiently, it can put more battery power into having a more powerful vacuum motor, since less battery is used up driving around randomly. XV-11 MSRP $399.
bakerzdosen wrote:I wanna know how this compares to the XV-11 that they've been selling...
The Neato XV-11 and the Neato XV-12 feature/specification are 100% identical. The only difference is the white color... I am surprised that so many people buy the ugly green color units, these white units are much nicer... The white XV-12 model is only sold at target and on a very few sites as its an exclusive model... Also woot is selling them with extra accessories that target does not include! If you compare the roomba to the neato, the roomba as far as technology fails... the neato is awesome because you can upgrade the firmware on the neato robotics website by plugging the item into your pc via usb, so as improvements come out with their software ( about 2 major releases per year ) you can upgrade, verses all you roomba lovers who would rather keep purchasing new roombas to get new features...
From the review... "-The Roomba cleans carpet noticeably better than the XV-11, and is significantly better at picking up pet hair. Neither robot is as good at these tasks as a traditional upright vacuum." Looks like I will stick with the Roomba..
"Neato?!" Who Named this thing...Herman Munster?! (Maybe it was a botched spell...'Grandpa--you Suck!) ^^X^^

About The Gundecha Brothers
--------------------------- Umakant and Ramakant Gundecha are India's leading exponents of the Dhrupad style of Indian classical music, and are the most active young performers in that style in Indian and international circuits. Born in Ujjain in Central India, both were initiated into music by their parents. They received conventional university educations while also studying music under the renowned Dhrupad vocalist Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar, and also with the late Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar (the distinguished performer of Rudra Veena) at the Dhrupad Kendra in Bhopal under Guru Shishya Parampara . The Gundecha Brothers have sung Hindi poetry by Tulsidas, Kabir, Padmakar, and Nirala in the Dhrupad style and have recorded about 25 cassettes and CDs for H.M.V., Music Today, Sundaram Records, Rhythm House, Senseworldmusic-UK, IPPNW Concerts Berlin, Navras, and AudioRec. They have performed on many television channels in India, and in broadcasts on British, U.S., German, French, Japan and Australian radio. In addition to being an integral part of all of India's prestigious music festivals, the Gundechas have performed along with Dhrupad Workshops at many important international festivals and institutions in USA, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, U.K., Norway, U.A.E, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Thailand, Seychelles and Taiwan etc. . They received the Madhya Pradesh Government Scholarship from 1981 to 1985, the National Fellowship from 1987 to 1989, the Ustad Allauddin Khan Fellowship in 1993, the Sanskriti Award in 1994, the Kumar Gandharva Award from the Government of Madhya Pradesh in 1998, and the Dagar Gharana Award from the Mewar Foundation in 2001.

He has accompanied such Dhrupad masters as Ustad Z. F. Dagar, Ustad Fahimuddin Dagar, Pandit Siyaram Tiwari, Shrimati Asghari Bai, Dr. Ritwik Sanyal, and Bahauddin Dagar. He has also played solo recitals in the Tansen Festival in Gwalior, the Haridas Sangeet Samaroh in Mumbai, the Dhrupad Samaroh in Bhopal, and many other festivals. He has toured about 20 countries and performs regularly on radio and television in India. ---------------------- Press Reviews ---------------------- At their most venturesome, the brothers voices seemed more supple and versatile than any string instrument. Washington Post The two singers slowly and painstakingly improvise around the Raga's tonic, dipping below it in long, resonant tones and then creeping above it in the same manner , usually making their way across a two and a half octave range. Eventually the tones shorten into shimmering staccato barrages that grow increasingly intense and an instrumental sounding , suggesting rapidly plucked Sitar notes. The Reader's Guide Chicago Die beiden vokalisten demonstrierten….hier (im Alap) eine perfekte kombination von feingefuhl und energie. Morgen Post, Berlin They are so proficient in it that one can not find loose ends or any thing slipshod in their expositions of Dhrupad. The Hindu New Delhi Effortless on every note, whether high or low ,bright and clear in Meend, exquisite in texture whose variations they controlled consciously and an appealing enunciation brought the program to an unexpected level of quality....... Yes !Dhrupad is safe and The Dagarvani is all to set to enter the 21st century..... The Times of India, New Delhi The understanding between the two brothers is uncanny. Independent, Bombay The Dhrupad singing of the Gundecha Brothers was like wind that slowly unwound a feeling that seized the artists and audience alike. Indian Express, Madras Tuneful to the core impeccable in rhythm and the scores well divided, they revealed immense musical imagination and refinement.

The Dhrupad tradition is a major heritage of Indian culture. The nature of Dhrupad music is spiritual. Seeking not to entertain, but to induce feelings of peace and contemplation in the listener. The word Dhrupad is derived from DHRUVA the steadfast evening star that moves through our galaxy and PADA meaning poetry. It is a form of devotional music that traces its origin to the ancient text of Sam Veda. The SAM VEDA was chanted with the help of melody and rhythm called Samgana. Gradually this developed into other vocal style called 'Chhanda' and 'Prabandha' with introduction of verse and meter. The fusion of these two elements led to the emergence of Dhrupad. By the eleventh Century Dhrupad music had crystallised into a perfect form which has retained its original structure and purity through to the present day. One significant characteristic of Dhrupad is the emphasis on maintaining purity of the Ragas and the Swaras. According to some accounts, Dhrupad was sung in the temples, the singer facing the divinity. From this early chanting, Dhrupad evolved into a sophisticated classical form of music. The language of Dhrupad changed from Sanskrit Brij Bhasha some time between the 12th and the 16th century. About six centuries ago, Dhrupad came to be patronized by the royal courts and its complex rendering became intended for highly sophisticated royal audiences. The compositions became more secular. Some were written in praise of the emperors; others elaborated on music itself. However the pristine nature of Dhrupad survived and even today we hear this majestic form of music performed like it was more that 500 years ago in the royal courts of the emperors and kings of India. ------------------------------------------------ A note on Dhrupad program by Dr. Brian Q. Silver -------------------------------------------------- The classical music of Indian subcontinent is divided in to two main traditions : the northern , known generally as Hindustani, and southern , known generally as Karnataka. The Hindustani prevails not only in northern and central India, but in Pakistan and Bangladesh as well. The vocal Music is the heart of the Indian classical tradition. The Gundecha Brothers present vocal music known as Dhrupad, the oldest and most profound form of classical Hindustani vocal music. Dhrupad developed in India in medieval times, and we have examples of distinct compositions attributed to the legendary Tan Sen (or Tansen) , who both as a player of BEEN and a vocalist was one of the nine jewels of the royal court of the great mughal emperor Akbar. Dhrupad was a dominant form of vocal music in northern India until the eighteenth century, when it was gradually overtaken by the lighter ,more florid vocal style as KHAYAL (literally, imagination). A customary full performance of Dhrupad is in two parts- the Alap , an extended melodic improvisation that explores the mood of Raga, and the Dhrupad or Dhamar - a composition set to distinct poetic text with Pakhawaj accompaniment. The Alap itself goes through three states known as Vilambit, Madhya and Drut. The Vilambit Alap explores the distinctive melodic features of the Raga without recourse to rhythm. The customary vocal range of Dhrupad is two to two -and -a -half octaves, and the alap begins with tonic (do or C in western term) of the middle octave as its center. The vocalists sing in extended , improvised passages and generally begin by moving downward ,note by note, exploring the lowest octave, sometimes finally reaching a distinctly dramatic point by touching the deep tonic of that octave. Although there no lyrics to this singing , certain syllables- ri, na,,ra num, te,ta,ra,na - are used to articulate the melody. After exploring the lowest octave .the singers move up into the middle octave- again singing in alternate improvisations that set new progressively higher watermarks - ultimate reaching another dramatic stage by ascending to the tonic of the highest octave. This gradual, progressive ascent is what is most dramatic about the Dhrupad alap, and the longer the vocalist can sustain their creativity in keeping the listeners engaged, the more liberating the resolution in reaching the highest octave. Next come the Madhya(Literally Middle) Alap in which there is the introduction of slow, regular pulse. This section is the vocal counterpart to the Jor in instrumental music. Using the same syllables in singing the notes of the Raga, the brothers alternates in their improvisation by traversing- now with a rhythmic component- some what the same range covered earlier , though usually concentrating on the central octave. The notes come frequently added with the power of gradually accelerating rhythm. At some point in Madhya Alap , the double pulse burst into a quadruple pattern, and Drut Alap begins,this section is the vocal equivalent of Jhala in Instrumental Music. Here, the rhythmic element comes to dominate the melody with increasingly complex phrases,ornamentation (including distinctive ,heavy oscillations called Gamakas), and rhythmic patterns that contrast with the elegant calm and simplicity of beginning Alap. The conclusion of DRUT Alap is usually marked by a gliding , downward slide through the entire middle octave, and ends on the same tonic around which the improvisation began. Throughout the development of Alap , a periodic punctuation device, the Mohra, separates the improvisatory phrases. In the simple Alap , such a device anticipates the coming rhythm where as in the Madhya and Drut it serves as a kind of brake, occasionally slowing the increasing rhythmic momentum. The Performance of the Raga concludes with the song, set with Pakhawaj accompaniment to one of the distinctive Dhrupad Talas; a song in a ten-or twelve- beat called dhrupad , while the song in the fourteen beats Dhamar Tala is known eponymousely as a Dhamar. The performers consists of a straight forward statement of the fixed song composition , which is traditional and may sometimes extremely old dating to the time of Tansen. The song itself consists two to four parts based on the poetic text , and once this parts have been stated in their fixed form , the singers engage in a improvisatory process known as a BOL-BAANT, in which the word are used in increasingly complex and richly syncopated rhythmic patterns (which play against the powerful cross-rhythms of the Pakhawaj) to conclude the performance of the Raga.

Cafe Europa
Online Reservations
A calm, relaxed atmosphere conducive to conversation and enjoying well prepared food. As advertised, European comfort food accompanied by a good selection of draught and bottled European beers. Having walked to the restaurant as evening clouds began to descend and finding the wooden floor, old bar, subdued lighting, and '50's-'60's jazz records on a turntable, a bit like a quick but unhurried evening trip to Prague for dinner.
Food was fresh & yummy...rivaled Grandma's. I am 100% Polish and I thought the food was so authentic! I will return for certain. Service was wonderful, too! If you're in a hurry, may want to wait for a night that you have a bit more time because everything is homemade fresh so it's not "fast food" in either sense. Well-worth a short wait!! Highly recommend!
We were visitors to San Francisco and wanted a restaurant with food choices that we couldn't find at home. Cafe Europa was a perfect choices. I'd characterize the experience as being a guest at the home of an excellent cook. The menu had many choices, with ample examples of familiar Eastern European food selections. The restaurant is small, maybe a dozen tables. We ordered starters, mains, and deserts and all were well prepared, but not super fancy. We were happy that we found Cafe Europa. It is located in a residential area so parking is a challenge. Try Geary and take note of the parking meters...they are a tourist trap.

Went 2-for-5 on the board last Saturday (with a tidy ROI to boot). Playing two prices on the Saturday card.
Race 5: #6 Ol Steely Blue (8/1) drops a level in class for trainer/part-ownder Valerie Rhoden off a close 4th place finish versus the top 3 finishers that compete later in the 7th. The 5YO gelded son of Sea of Secrets popped a 36 4/5 drill since that February 9th effort and will offer great value in a race that features some very suspect classdroppers (including the rail that drops from 25K company and Shediak - who was vetted two weeks ago at Los Al).
Race 8: #4 Deep Reflection (15/1) finally put things together at the $4,000 n2l condition for Team Matos on February 9th. He's always been a competitive sort and despite the step back up in class, he's a definite win play. His figs stack up quite well versus the more-fancied runners on Steve Martinelli's morning line and with the vet-scratch of Gold Star, I'd expect to see this one go off lower than lined. Note that fellow 15/1 Doctor Park has finished ahead of our pick the last 2 times they faced off. At any rate, let's hope lightning strikes twice. Wide-open race to be sure.
