Spiral Jetty Films
The same year Robert Smithson made his 1,500-foot Spiral Jetty, a pile of mud, salt crystal and rock that spiraled out from the shore into the Great Salt Lake, he made a film about making Spiral Jetty. In it, he wanted one shot to tell the history of the Earth, so he asked his wife, artist Nancy Holt, to film while he climbed up high in a quarry. He dropped down pages torn from a world atlas, so that what we knew of Earth's history was raining down onto rocks and mud. Years later, in 2007, filmmaker James Benning made Casting a Glance, a film about Smithson's Jetty. The work had by that point disappeared under salt water, then re-emerged with changed texture and color. Benning shows how Jetty had changed since 1970 and how it changed more gradually over the year and a half he filmed. Both Smithson's and Benning's films screen at MOCA on Thursday. To be fair, they're really boring, but boring in the way that meditation is: If you surrender yourself to their monotonous, meandering, hypnotic musings on the Earth's surface, you might actually start to feel euphoric.

Discussion in 'Model S: Ordering, Production, Delivery' started by chmod a+wrx, Aug 14, 2012.
Navy federal 1.99% 72 months.
Does anyone know if Navy Federal caps auto loans at $70,000, like Penfed does? I can't find anything in their disclosure that says anything about an maximum loan amount. If not, I think I'll go with them and trade a slightly higher rate (1.79% vs 1.49%) to be able to finance the whole amount on my Performance 85.
Logix CU. 1.99% for 60 months and 100% financing.
Logix - Rates
Navy federal does not cap at all. This is the 3rd loan we have had with them and they have been great each time. They had a local office for me and I was in and out in an hour with check in hand. Check is good for, i believe, 90 days. Now just need tesla to firm up my delivery date.
I went with Navy Federal and their "preapproval" is good for 60 days. there was a cap for me (above 70), but I told them I had $xxxxx.00 set asside for the downpayment and they went $xxxx.00 above what I asked for as a safety margin. I was able to get 1.79 for 72 months. Still need the VIN for the "preapproval" to be valid.
That's strange about needing the VIN, they gave me a blank check and told me to fill in the VIN when I sign the check over to Tesla. They just asked how much I wanted to finance, no discussion aboutmmymdownpayment or how much the car cost.
Right, they need the VIN when you give it to Tesla, or it's not valid. Guess my loan person was more chatty.
For those going with PenFed, are they ok with close to 100% financing? The only downpayment I planned on using was the original $5k reservation, I was going to finance all the rest. I saw mention elsewhere that some institutions may not be comfortable with high LTVs on new concept car.
Another one for the mix is Alliant Credit Union, a bit more expensive at 1.99%. I happened to find them looking for somewhere that did fee-free HSA's
PenFed will max out at 70k. I've read here that they require 15% down to get that amount, but I don't recall seeing that on their website. Given that mine will be closer to 100k, I'm definitely putting at least 15% down to work within the 70k limit.
To avoid any last minute hiccups with PenFed (and to boost Tesla's Q4 cash reserves! ), I've just wired the balance of my downpayment (over and above the original $5k deposit) to Tesla and requested them to send me an updated MVPA that reflects
a) the balance due to them which would be the exact amount that I'll be financing with PenFed
b) 2013 as the model year since I'll be getting mine in January (my original MVPA from August reflects a November delivery and 2012 as the MY)
The Tesla rep asked for a few days to get the paperwork updated (and I'm no rush till early January!) - they are probably swamped with all the December production craziness.
Has anyone on here financed over 70k with a lender or credit union? Which ones? I also planned on financing most of a fully loaded performance....
Curious - Do you really have to meet the requirements for membership to be able to apply for their loans?
Navy Federal Credit Union: Eligibility Checklist
Anyone have any thoughts as to whether the PenFed 1.49% will still be offered into January 2013?
They told me the 1.49% would not be valid after EOY, however, the rate may still be the same in January, if that makes sense. I couldn't understand how they can say your approval is valid for 90 days then.
I spoke with PenFend today and they conformed 1.49% after New Year!:biggrin:
As did I. The latest CSR said 1.49% good even after EOY.
Alliant Credit Union- pay 10% and they'll finance the rest (around $80k) for me- 72 months for 1.99%.
SWEET!....hope it lasts until the end of 2013 when my car is built lmao.
This is good. Thanks for that info!

STAR WARS spinoffs to feature adventures of young HAN SOLO and bounty hunter BOBBA FETT!
Finally, will Han NOW shoot Greedo first (again*)?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a day after the new STAR WARS flicks will be stand alones set in the Lucas-verse comes word of rebooting- the new Disney flicks will showcase Solo the captain of the Millennium Falcon and played in the original trilogy by Harrison Ford.
AND fave fave bounty hunter the armor wearing mysterion Bobba Fett who was featured fleetingly in the first go-round of sci-fi flicks and then depicted as a lad in the prequel-ogy.
According to reports, the first Solo solo adventure would occur in the timeline before Han met erstwhile (SPOILER!) Vader son and Galactic hero Luke Skywalker.
The Fett flick would be set in between two of the three original films.
Fannish rumors swirl the net that Harrison Ford would reprise his role as Han Prime much as Leonard Nimoy reprised Spock in the Star Trek reboot.
Ford Solo would be recounting a hitherto unknown tale of his star-spanning roughish youth to his and Leia's children, the rumor goes.
*In The original release of "Star Wars 1977", Han DID shoot first but then the flick was re-edited and transmogrified by never-satisfied Geo. Lucas in later re-issues infuriating generations of Hans Solo faithful.

Big box electricals retailer Currys has told customers that will recognise Frank Lampard's controversial World Cup goal against Germany that was ruled out by the referee, robbing England of certain victory in Bloemfontein last Saturday.
The chain had offered all customers who spent £599 or more on an HD TV in the build-up to the World Cup £10 back on each goal scored by England in the finals.
Seeing as Lampard's strike would have been only England's fourth goal of the tournament, following Gerrard's effort just four minutes into their opening match against the USA, Defoe's against Slovenia and Upson's header against the Germans, the retailer is still getting off very lightly.
"Like every other England fan, and pretty much every person around the world who watched the match, we believe that Frank Lampard scored a legitimate goal on Sunday," marketing director Niall O'Keeffe stated.
"We promised our customers £10 back for every goal the team scored in the World Cup and we stand by that so we're officially recognising it and will be giving all eligible customers a free £10 gift voucher for the goal that got away.
"England may have got the red card – but our customers will get a gift card. Although it's no consolation for an early World Cup exit we'd like to give a bit back to the fans who've had so little to cheer about over the last couple of weeks."

Safelite Solutions moving Cedar Rapids office to Hiawatha
Expansion to bring 200 new jobs to area
Safelite Solutions is moving its Cedar Rapids-based Alliance Claims Solutions business unit to an existing office building in Hiawatha and adding 200 full- and part-time jobs by the end of 2013
Alliance Claims Solutions, 1620 E Ave. NE, employs 75 at its existing call center, providing auto physical damage and auto glass claims management for small to mid-sized insurance companies. The move to 21,220 square feet of the 30,800-square-foot building at 1125 Dina Ct. in Hiawatha will provide space for the company to�grow its business.
The Hiawatha building formerly housed operations of Principal Financial Group. It has been available for lease from Armstrong Development of Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett was instrumental in the initial discussions with Alliance Claims Solutions and he and City Manager Jeff Pomeranz worked to land the company's expanded facility�in Cedar Rapids.
Melina Metzger, Safelite Group public relations manager, said a number of factors influenced selection of the Hiawatha location including available square footage, the quality of the buildingm the condition of the interior, more than adequate parking, existing furniture in place and the terms of the lease.
While the expansion will be in Hiawatha, Corbett said in a statement issued by Safelite Solutions that it will keep the jobs in the Cedar Rapids area.
"Not only does this retain jobs, but the addition of 200 jobs will provide Cedar Rapidians more opportunities," Corbett said.
On Tuesday night, the Cedar Rapids City Council approved a property tax incentives for�developer Joe Ahmann to build a $34 million, high-end office park with restaurants and retail and service shops near Edgewood and Blairs Ferry roads NE. Corbett supported the incentive package, saying there is a lack of upscale, Class A office space in a single large development in Cedar Rapids.
Corbett pointed specifically to Safelite Solutions's decision to move and expand its Alliance Claims Solutions operation in Hiawatha, rather than in Cedar Rapids.
Jerry Beigel, senior vice president of Safelite Solutions, thanked the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance, local leadership and the community for its continued partnership.
"We are excited about our expansion in Cedar Rapids and what it will mean for our customers, our employees and the community," Beigel said. "Being able to grow our business in tough economic times is a testament to the people who make SafeliteSolutions and Alliance Claims Solutions the success we are."
Hiawatha Mayor Tom Theis said he is excited that�Alliance Claims Solutions has decided to stay and expand in the Cedar Rapids area.
"We look forward to supporting their needs to attract a workforce, recognizing it will provide employment opportunities not only for the citizens of Hiawatha but those throughout the region,� Theis said.
Dee Baird, president and CEO of the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance, said she is pleased the company made the decision to stay in this region, retaining and adding jobs.
"We are very glad Safelite chose the Creative Corridor to expand their operations," Baird said. �Safelite also is a great fit among our other financial service companies in the region."Alliance Claims Solutions will use the Iowa New Job Training Program administered through Kirkwood Community College as it hires additional employees.

Buzzin' Fly is everything an independent record label should be. It has a classy, immediately-identifiable look, evident in its sleeve designs, posters, and t-shirts. It promotes a tightly-knit, international stable of artists providing a focused, signature sound—in this case, clean, hip, minimal/deep/tech house. It's credited with long-running, taste-making residencies in London nightclubs. And, in Ben Watt of now-dormant British pop duo Everything But the Girl, a founder and boss who understands artists and knows how the business works. Add it all up, and you have a half-decade of what seems like charmed existence, a virtual eternity for a dance-oriented indie label.
To celebrate, for 2008 Watt has replaced Buzzin' Fly's annual mixed sampler CD with 5 Golden Years in the Wilderness, an ambitious, unmixed three-disc set hand-picked by Watt. Ironically, it's in commemorating the label's consistent success that Watt puts himself at the greatest risk of taking a wrong step. Nothing drives home the notion that you can't please everyone all the time more than the sweeping, multi-disc retrospective. What's more, arranging the discs thematically smacks of New Order's disastrous 2002 Retro set, the textbook example of how to turn musical history into a critical whipping post.
Ben Watt
Buzzin' Fly - 5 Golden Years in the Wilderness
Unmixed and Selected by Ben Watt
(Buzzin' Fly)
US: 1 Jul 2008
UK: 23 Jun 2008
Instead of two decades, Watt has five years and three dozen 12" singles to work with, which makes his task a lot less daunting. The "Up" disc collects ten uptempo "floor" tracks, most of them a-sides, while the "Down" disc contains, you guessed it, ten atmospheric-leaning cuts. Many of these 20 tracks have already been featured on CD compilations, including the Buzzin' Fly annuals, but Watt sweetens the pot by adding a third "Forward" disc of seven new, previously-unreleased tracks. 5 Golden Years in the Wilderness retails for about the cost of a two-disc set. So, while disc three precludes the collection from being a true best-of, it's really more of a bonus anyway, and it ensures there's something here for even the most die-hard Buzzin' Fly junkie.
5 Golden Years in the Wilderness is ultimately about "Up", and you'd be hard-pressed to even quibble with Watt's selections for the disc. Here you have nearly all the label's high-water marks, both artistically and commercially. Buzzin' Fly has uncovered at least one certifiable superstar in San Fransisco's Justin Martin, and he's the only artist save Watt himself to be represented on the disc by more than one track, with good reason. The rippling synth and descending bassline of 2003 breakout track "The Sad Piano" remains enchanting. Four years later, "Nightowl" is more tech-y, but no less hypnotic. As floor-fillers go, Rodamaal featuring Claudia Franco's "Insomnia", with its evocative synth sirens and "Find it / Keep it / Work it / Share it" mantra, is tough to beat.
Watt weighs in with a trio of club hits. "Lone Cat", the first official Buzzin' Fly release, is dated a bit by some ill-advised sax. Terence Trent D'Arby, appearing under his given name, Sananda Maitreya, lends some smoothly soulful vocals to "A Stronger Man", a very pop-leaning track that borders on the superficial. "Pop a Cap in Yo' Ass" remains Watt's best musical contribution to Buzzin' Fly, Estelle's no-nonsense spoken-word vocals providing just the right balance for Watt's bubbly rhythm and breezy synth hook. Most of the tracks on "Up" are club staples, and many are headed for "classic" status. This is the sound that made Buzzin' Fly famous, and it's a great primer for new fans, as well as a timely reminder for old ones.
As Buzzin' Fly is not nearly as well-known for its more downtempo numbers, the decision to dedicate a whole disc to downtempo is a bit of a mystery. Also, the "Down" title is a bit of a misnomer, as at least a few of these tracks would fit easily on "Up". Still, Kayot's ambient, thunderstorm-enhanced "One Week on Cuba" is genuinely melancholy. On "Mon Ange", meanwhile, Mlle. Caro and Frank Garcia offer up gorgeous, minor-chord synth-pop a la Depeche Mode. The cyclical, churning rhythm and calming synth-washes of Barbq's "Barbi in Love", previously available only on one of the mixed annuals, are a further reminder of how, when it's done right, progressive house really can accomplish more with less.
As for "Forward", it's mostly a showcase for artists who are new to the label, a "coming soon" of sorts. If nothing else, it evidences the label's subtle yet unmistakable move toward more minimal and tech house, a shift belied by the non-chronological sequencing of "Up" and "Down". Stimming's "Kleine Nachtmusik"'s steady ebbing and flowing is hypnotic enough, and Gavin Herlihy's "Give Me a Tune" makes clever use of vintage Roland TR-808 snare hits, a near-novelty in the Buzzin' Fly repertoire. Although the label's sound has always been airtight and a bit studious, "Forward" at times comes across as too clinical. The relatively workmanlike vibe of the disc is only highlighted by the presence of a new mix of "Insomnia", which basically trounces everything else.
It will be interesting to see where Watt takes Buzzin' Fly over the next five years. The always-risky offshoot, indie-pop centered Strange Feeling Records, has yet to take off like the mother label did. With electronic music in general fairly stagnant during Buzzin' Fly's existence, will Watt remain content to hone the fine reputation and signature sound, or will he make a bold move? In any case, though with Buzzin' Fly he has hardly reinvented the wheel, he's made that wheel a whole lot sleeker and reliable. Far from the curatory landmine it could have been, 5 Golden Years in the Wilderness provides ample evidence of Buzzin' Fly's considerable contribution to house music.

Parity. The NFL has achieved it. NASCAR seems to want it. Let's back up the truck for a moment. NASCAR the governing body wants parity, and has gone to great pains to achieve a competitive balance. The fans? Well, this is where the story becomes a sticky wicket.
While it's true a cacophony rises every time a Richard Petty, a Dale Earnhardt, a Jeff Gordon, or a Jimmie Johnson dominates the sport, tossing out equalizers isn't always the silver bullet one may think it is. It can be a case of be careful what you wish for; or put another way, the sickness hurts, but the cure can kill you.
After much reflection, it seems that for the fan the issue is not one of having parity but how you get there. While numerous fans groan at a Jimmie Johnson "stinking up the show," the real problem is one of the appearance of manipulation to achieve a desired outcome.
When a race field gets strung out, a mystery debris caution is thrown. Fans get treated to a few laps of excitement (and sometimes carnage), until the the cars fan out again. Worried about teams developing the secret sauce that brings back the days of one manufacturer dominance and a handful of cars on the lead lap? Create a template for teams to work from, hamstring engineering creativity, and bust them hard when they color outside the lines. When all else fails, tweak the rules as often as needed: changing the points, changing qualification procedures, or whatever is needed to mollify the negative sentiments of the day.
Not to get political here, but if you think about it, but such steps smack of a kind of sports socialism, not a notion that flies well in the good ol' USA. Put another way, a championship you won because you spanked the competition frankly is a lot more fulfilling the a nail biter attained by manufactured drama. Say what you will about the disparity in the days of old, and while it's true Petty had advantages the back markers could only dream of, you knew you were doing something when you beat "The King." Petty Enterprises enjoyed the heyday they had through innovation, elbow grease, and a committed support team. In spite of all that, David Pearson- NASCAR's original free spirit- still provided fans a thrill by going toe-to-toe with Petty, the two finishing 1-2 63 times (!) between 1963 and 1977 (Pearson was the winner in 33 of those events.)
This is not to discredit the modern driver, Jimmie Johnson in particular. This observer submits he and his team have the drive and the resources to win no matter what cards you deal them.
You hear the disaffected compare NASCAR to professional wrestling. It's not hard to understand why. Sometimes a driver or a make will dominate. It all ends sooner or later.
Frankly, when it comes to all the equalizers, if you ask the question of "How's that working for you?" It isn't really working the way NASCAR had hoped. It's time to turn 'em loose, and may the best man or woman win. If one dominates, get better by outworking him. As it is now, we have a series where a win is about as thrilling as kissing your sister.

Seeing the glory of God in even the smallest created things, Flemish monks of the 15th Century used to make a point of it in such dissertations as On the Beauty of the Louse. Flemish painters, whose art was an outgrowth of manuscript illumination, showed the same reverence for the minuscule, became Europe's most meticulous realists.

Reviews for Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Average Rating
"Hi Psalm 127-3,Browning Sauce is a blend of coloring and seasoning. Kitchen Bouquet is a common brand."
"I give-what is brown sauce please?"
"I made this yesterday as directed. It was very dry. There is no juice in the leftovers after just my husband and I had a bowl. He said it was good but I thought it needed a lot more salt, more flour, no thyme, and triple the beef broth. Next time I will omit the celery, regular salt and thyme and instead add some peas, a tablespoon of Season All salt by McCormick's, a Bay Leaf, 1/4 teaspoon of Tarragon Leaves, 1/3 teaspoon of Marjoram Leaves, and 1/3 teaspoon of Parsley Flakes. These are the spices I use in stove top beef stew from an old McCormick's book book and it is an excellent recipe. Although on the stove top I do not add peas and add 4 small onions instead of chopped. But the McCormick's recipe calls for 2 pounds of chuck cut in 1-inch cubes so I decreased the above spices accordingly."
"Made as is and it was fine. I did all my prep the day before when I was chopping things for a stir fry. Cut all of my veggies then and put them in a ziploc baggy. Put my potatoes in water so they didn't turn brown. Drained them before I put them in the crockpot the next day and voila, dinner. I was lazy this time and used cut up stew meat from the store. We don't like potatoes that have been frozen (cause they are mushy) so I cut my potato pieces a little larger than it suggests here. That way IF there are leftovers I can pick out the potatoes before freezing."
"I used one pound of baby carrots and added a little garlic. Great recipe and very easy."
"I thought the flavor was good but I added a slurry of cornstarch and water at the end to thicken the broth. I also cooked it on high for 2 hours and medium high for 5 hours. The meet was nice and tender and the veggies were perfectly cooked. The prep takes a little more time than stated, especially if you cut your own stew meat as opposed to buying what is available in the stores. My roommate raved about it so I would not hesitate to serve it to others."
"Added a few seasonings, and this stew was the best I've ever made! Didn't use flour to coat the meat cuz my hubby doesn't like it. 15 mins before serving I tasted it and it needed something, so added soy sauce, mixed herbs, bit of salt, and it was perfect! Veggies were tender but not mushy, and meat was fall-apart tender. Cooked it on low for 7 hours."
"I made this for a group, and they all loved it. Had several people ask for the recipe. I did omit the thyme, but otherwise followed the recipe. I will be making this again!"
"This has been a favorite of our family for years! Great on cold days and it makes the house smell fantastic! Only thing i do different is add a little minced garlic and i use a beef base with 1 cup hot water instead of broth."
"Prepped all the veggies and layered them in the crockpot and then realized I hadn't bought stew meat like I had planned! Luckily I had a London broil. I coated it with the flour and a little pepper and kosher salt. Seared it and put it on top of the veggies. I also didn't have the browning sauce (I really need to restock my kitchen!). So I used about a tablespoon of Worchestershire Sauce and a little soy sauce. About 30 minutes before the stew was done I added a little cornstarch to thicken and about a cup of frozen peas. When it was time to serve I cut the London broil and it was so tender. Served this with fresh baked rolls. My husband and I loved this! So delicious and easy!"
"I made this a few weeks ago as a cold-winter-day stcik to the ribs dinner. Turned out exactly like the stew I had growing up, meaning it was excellent! I didn't change a thing in the recipe. We had unexpected company that day, and there were ZERO leftovers. An easy, delicious, and classic comfort food ."
"I had my doubts about half way through the cooking process. I thought it smelled like the thyme was overpowering the other flavors; however, after it was done, I was wonderfully surprised. It had a very good flavor with just a hint of thyme. I made the recipe just as written and I will make it again as written. It is a good beef stew but very mild tasting. I would have liked a bit more depth of flavor."
"Great on a cool fall day."
"This turned out really great! We made many modifications for health purposes...here they are:1)We used gluten free flour instead of regular2) We used sweet potatoes instead of white3) We used homemade bone broth instead of regular beef broth (bone broth is really healing for the gut...check out GAPS diet). I think she meant to say a quart of broth instead of a cup...but basically we just poured the broth over everything until it just about covered the contents of the pot.4) We used pink Himalayan salt instead of regular salt (used 2 teaspoons)5) We omitted the tomatoes and celery and instead added chopped kale, 3 leeks, frozen green peas, green beans, and 3 cloves of minced garlic.6) Doubled the recipe, so used 3 pounds of grass fed organic chuck roast cut into cubes (so much more tasty than stew meat)7) Used fresh herbs tied into a bundle8) Used ghee instead of canola oilThis was amazing! We turned on the crock pot at 11pm and it was finished when we got up the next morning at 7:30am."
"This recipe requires a little bit of work in the beginning, but it is worth it. I added a seasoning pack of beef Stew seasoning to the meat after browning. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, I added 1 Cup of frozen corn, 1 cup of frozen peas 1 can of green beans, and 1 jar of sliced mushrooms. I also recommend cutting up fresh mushrooms and adding that in with the meat. This is a very hearty meal served with fresh baked bread and a green salad."
"My coworkers and I fixed this stew for a men's basketball team, they loved it and we loved it! We will all make it again!!"
"This was hearty, tasty, delicious!"
"The "cook" time listed at the top of the recipe is incorrect; the total cook time is actually 8 1/2 - 9 1/2 hours. I also added 2 additional cups of beef broth; without it, the "stew" was not very stew-like being that it was rather dry."
"Very easy and pretty good, but bland. I added a bit of cayenne pepper to it and a little more salt."
"Awesome perfect beef stew just enough flavor."
"This was sooo simple to make. Thank you for the excellent recipe! I have been a Taste of Home fan for 16 years. The stew was delicious; my family LOVED it!"
"I did this one in an iron dutch oven on the stove top. Slow simmering helped add flavor throughout, and took about 3 hours. Perfect for dividing up to take with me to work and freezing the rest! A raisen applesause scone with a cup of yogurt completes my meal!"
"Very easy to make and was really good Will make it more often!"
"Made this as written but found that it was missing "something". Tasted a little bland. Next time I try this one I'll do what "patastl" did and add the French's stew seasoning to this. Definitely one to play with to find that "right" combination"
"This was the best stew I have ever eaten. I did add 1/2 diced green pepper and carton of fresh mushrooms before I added the beef. I also added French's stew seasoning and added that to the beef for a couple of minutes before adding the beef to the slow cooker. Made a thick stew which was a five star."
"We made this and served over biscuits for a party - huge hit in this cold, winter weater! Everyone asked for the recipe!We added a little creole seasoning to the flour for tossing - gave it a nice li'l bite."
"I add some green beans and instead of using diced tomatoes I used a can of crushed tomatoes."

LONDON (Jul. 15)
Chief Rabbi Dr. Israel Brodie of England today sent a cable to the Chief Rabbinate of Israel declaring that "many rabbis" in England will support the stand taken by the Chief Rabbis of Israel on the National Service Bill for Women.
"I am gravely perturbed by the reports of the strife regarding the draft of the bill for national conscription of women," the cable said. "I wish to express sympathy and support of your stand. I speak in the name of many rabbis in this country, including Haham Gaon and the London Beth Din (Rabbinical Court) who pray for unity, peace and security in the Holy Land."
The world executive of Agudas Israel today announced that a delegation of rabbis will visit Israel Ambassador Eliahu Elath here "to discuss the situation which has arisen in Israel in relation to the proposed conscription of Jewish religious women for national service."

Below is a report on restaurants in Istanbul from a May'07 trip. None of the restaurants are "finds" or unknown; they were culled from a variety of sources, including chowhound, other web sites, and guidebooks. Also, none are hole in the walls or street food, but average priced for a sit-down dinner. (Btw, local Istanbulus friends thought the listing in the Time Out Istanbul guidebook were on target. If you're in Istanbul for a week or so, it might also be worth grabbing a copy the weekly Time Out Istanbul, English language eds of which can be found in many newsstands, especially in touristy areas such as Sultanahmet).
Probably the most memorable meal we had was at Galata House. The place is difficult to find*, on a dark, residential street, with no other commerce in sight and a very modest sign over the door. It used to be the British civil prison and was purchased about 15 years ago by a couple, Mete and Nadire Goktug, who are architects and planners and who turned it into a restaurant. The dining spaces are lovely (2 floors) and if you're lucky, you might get a table in the upstairs courtyard. Snug and surrounded by high walls that are charmingly lit, the place is evocative. The food is Russian and Georgian and was for me a welcome break in a 10-day visit. Mete and Nadire are happy to make recommendations; the mixed appetizer plate was terrific, the only disappointment in it the yogurt with squash (the walnut spread was splendid, as was the eggplant filled with walnuts, as was the beet salad [and I'm not a fan of beets]). The lamb with plum sauce was terrific (the sauce a tart surprise) and the veal goulash solid. The best part of the evening, however, was a long conversation with Mete, a fascinating and worldly man who knows the city of Istanbul intimately and has read everything it seems. Perhaps because we were there on a Sun night late, we had a lengthy conversation with him in which I learned much about the history of Istanbul, it's nooks and crannies, it's past and present. Mete is a genuine host and seems to love conversation; just ask him a question and you'll have a splendid conversation in which you'll learn much, possibly even about your corner of the world. [Galata Kulesi Sokak 61, Galata (0112 245 1861; www.thegalatahouse.com)]
*Getting to Galata House: Take the tram to Karakoy. When you get off, you'll have to cross the wide street to your left towards the Tunel funicular station (there is also an underpass but most folks seem to prefer to dodge the traffic and I would certainly avoid the underpass at dark). Having crossed the street that the tram runs on, walk north, past the wide intersection, past a plaza-ish space, upon which you'll get to another street. Straight ahead, a bit to the left, you'll see a set of steep steps going upward and a sign saying "Galata Tower." DON'T take these steps (they will, predictably, take you to the Tower which is too far north), but take a left at the street and perhaps two or three streets up is Galata Kulesi Sokak, where you take a right GH is on the right up a steep hill and past a curve.
Our next best meal was at Sofyali 9 (the "i" at the end is the dotless "i"), a lovely restaurant in Beyoglu, near Tunel square, at the bottom of Istiklal Caddesi. The meze here were spectacular, a cut above. The waiters come around with a large tray with meze and you just point to what you want. The white beans with olives, pickled lemons and dill were superb, as were the leeks (a simple and fragrant preparation), the seaweed, and the walnut paste. Sofyali is a grill place and the kofta and lamb kebab were some of the best I had in Istanbul. [Sofyali Sokak 9, Tunel (0112 245 0362)].
Also in Beyoglu, on Istiklal Caddesi was a sweet shop that I've been dreaming about since I first saw it and kicking myself for not bringing boxes of sweets back. Saray has superb baklava. Even if you don't like baklava, you ought to try theirs (I seldom eat sweets and loved theirs which weren't too sweet). I got various shapes and sizes, all made with ground pistachio, and each was better than the last! Go there, point at various different types of baklava, and get a box. You won't regret it. (Istiklal Caddesi, 102; closer to the Taksim Square end).
Everyone recommends Balikci Sabahattin (both "i"s in the first word are dotless and the "c" has a cedilla) in the Sultanahmet area, and it IS very good. I highly recommend the house appetizer, mussels with rice. They are excellent, flavored with what I'm guessing is star anise (at least that's what it tasted like to me, although I don't know if that's a spice used in Turkish cooking). The hot appetizer of monkfish was recommended and I'm grateful for the recommendation: the fish comes on a fajita-like pan and is cooked with tomatoes and bell peppers and is delicious. [Seyit Hasan Kuyu Sokak 1, off Cnkurtaran Caddesi (012` 4581824); reservations are essential]
The restaurant at the Istanbul Modern (take the tram to Tophane and it's a short walk from there) is well worth the trip for it splendid location. Housed in an old warehouse, the Modern is perched high and right at the conflux of the Golden Horn and Bosphorous. If you sit on the deck, you'll have a wonderful view: on the one hand the Topkapi palace, Aya Sofya, and Blue Mosque, on the other the Beyoglu area and Galata Tower. The place is leisurely and the food very good: the artichoke appetizer was splendid and the manti very, very good.
The food at Asitane, which is right next to the Kariye [or Church of St Chora (you should, btw, make it a point to go to this beautiful church which as some spectacular mosaics and frescoes)] is very good and they have a lovely outdoor garden, but the service leaves much to be desired, especially for a place with its pretensions and prices. Our meal was given to another table and we were kept waiting more than an hour for a replacement. They were apologetic, but we hadn't really planned to take a two-hour lunch and were annoyed to get stuck in the neighborhood because traffic out of it is hideous after 3pm. Given that, I will say that lamb shank was excellent: subtly flavored and falling off the bone in just the way it should. The sea bass in parchment was also very good, as was the appetizer of chard filled with bulger wheat. If you get the "Fava" appetizer (which I do recommend because it is so unusual), know that this is not beans, but some sort of paste that then seems to have been steamed and dressed with dill. [Kariye Camii Sokak 18, Edirnekapy (0212 635 7997;www.kariyeotel.com/asitane.htm)]
Hamdi in Eminonu is a grill place and very good. If you want a seat on the top floor (you do, for the brilliant view of the Galata Bridge and across), make reservations. Otherwise there are 4 other floors and you'll have little trouble getting a table. The service is brisk and the grilled meats very good. The meze are fine - not great, not bad. [Kalcin Sokak 17, Tahmi Caddesi, Eminonu (0121 528 0390)].
Finally, I'll underscore what everyone says: avoid eating in Sultanahmet (with the one exception noted above) The food is bland, disappointing, and not worth the price. It's a great location to stay in (both for the sights and the tram line) but not to eat in. We ate at several joints and can only recommend two, both less for their food as for their truly spectacular views from the top floor or rooftop (Dubb Indian Restaurant, Incili Cavus Sokak 10, 0212 513 7308 and Seven Hills Restaurant).
One final note tangentially related to restaurants: bathrooms in Istanbul can be a challenge (the Modern's and Astine's are striking exceptions that get top marks); I recommend carrying a tissue pack in your bag.

The primary goal of the proposed studies is to dissect the molecular mechanism of nonself recognition in filamentous fungi using Neurospora crassa as a model system. Nonself recognition leads to a type of fungal programmed cell death (PCD) termed heterokaryon incompatibility (HI). HI is ubiquitous in filamentous fungi and can be likened to a fungal "immune" system, which confers selective advantages by preventing hyphal fusion events that spread mycoviruses, debilitated organelles and deleterious plasmids throughout a fungal population. Nonself recognition during vegetative growth in filamentous fungi is mediated by genetic loci, termed het (for heterokaryon). Similar to other nonself recognition loci, such as the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in jawed vertebrates, het loci in N. crassa show evidence of balancing selection. From our previous funding period, we identified a new protein required for nonself recognition and death, called PIN-C, which contains a fungal-specific death effector domain, called HET. We determined that cell death through HI does not occur via an apoptotic mechanism, although reactive oxygen species are an early event associated with nonself recognition. We also identified a transcription factor called vib-1 (vegetative incompatibility blocked) that is required both for cell death and for proper secretion. Finally, we have very recent data indicating that the genes that regulate nonself recognition interfere with signaling required for chemotropic interactions and cell fusion, thus indicating an intriguing link between signaling/machinery associated with chemotropism/cell fusion and nonself recognition proteins and cell death. In this proposal, we describe experiments to further dissect the molecular mechanism of nonself recognition, unravel the pathway to death and identify new nonself recognition loci using genomics approaches. Finally, we describe experiments to examine the exciting connection between cell signaling involved in fusion and nonself recognition, an aspect that we recently determined occurs at a distance. We believe that a dissection of fungal PCD using N. crassa as a model organism is an attractive fungal-specific target for the development of drugs to combat human fungal infections and provides a fascinating comparative model for evolutionary studies on nonself recognition loci.
We use the model filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa to dissect the molecular mechanism of nonself recognition and programmed cell death (PCD), which is an attractive fungal-specific target for the development of drugs to combat human fungal infections, which are an important clinical and often fatal complication in immuno-compromised patients. An examination of fungal nonself recognition and PCD also provides a fascinating comparative model for evolutionary studies.

Arguably the Greatest Singles Band in America, the Mavericks have earned considerably less respect than they deserve in the United States, a problem, I'm afraid, rooted firmly in their strengths. Of course you know about the Latin influence (that's too weak a word) on their songs, the horns and beats that turn the new "Here Comes My Baby" into the most infectiously joyous thing you've heard in years. And you certainly know that Raul Malo is one of America's finest vocalists, a singer whose range, both musically and emotionally, make comparisons with Van Morrison's or Ray Charles' greatness viable.
But the strengths which seem most to have put off the American public are more rooted in country music's current identity problem, its obsessive drive to insist on its own importance. (Cf., by the way, Nascar fans' insistence that their favorite drivers are really, REALLY, athletes). So country music aims for an audience of first-gen suburban families who yearn for sophistication and reject signs that might prove that grandpa never took much to school-learning, but knew enough to build a decent life for his wife and babies.
Therefore you will not hear too much of the pedal steel and low-note twanginess of this or other Mavericks CDs roaring out of the speakers of SUVs idling at red lights near the mall; think of the wise-ass looks you'd get from teenagers with their hats on backwards, you'd best stick with Shania. And the pure cornball pleasure the band takes in echoing the slick pop of the fifties and sixties (one of their album's titles, Music for All Occasions, seems to have been stolen from some lost lounge singer masterwork) surely tests the resolve of listeners too self-conscious to have a good time.
But try this one. From beginning to end—or, since it's in reverse chronological order, end to beginning—it reveals a band as willing as any in recent history to explore the places where genre breaks down and all that is left is great music.

The ranks of the House of Lords will be swollen with the publication of a new list of working peers, including Doreen Lawrence, the mother of murdered teenager Stephen.
Mrs Lawrence's seat in the Upper House as a Labour baroness comes after a 20 year fight for justice for her son, who was stabbed to death at the age of 18 in a racist attack in south London.
However, there will be no ennoblement for football manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who was hotly tipped for a peerage when he stood down as Manchester United boss after 26 years in May.
Following media speculation that Ed Miliband would make Sir Alex a peer, the staunch Labour supporter is understood to have made clear through friends that he would not want to take up the offer, and no approach was made by the party.
Working peers are expected to attend Parliament regularly, and Sir Alex said at the time of his retirement that he wanted to be free to spend more time with his wife and family.
Mrs Lawrence's tireless campaign for justice for her son led to the Macpherson Inquiry, which found evidence of "institutional racism" in the Metropolitan Police. Two of his killers were finally convicted of murder in 2012.
She has already received an OBE and founded the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust to support young people from ethnic minority backgrounds to pursue their ambitions, is a member of the executive committee of human rights group Liberty and has been chosen to sit on Home Office and police panels.
A Labour source said: "Doreen Lawrence is a hero of modern Britain. The strength and courage she has shown in her fight for justice for her son Stephen has had a profound impact on attitudes to racism and policing. Her campaigning has changed, and will continue to change, our country for the better. Ed Miliband believes voices like hers should always be heard in Parliament."
Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti described her appointment as "richly-deserved", adding: "Who can imagine transforming the grief of losing a child into a campaign to reform policing and the wider values of an entire nation? Her calm courage should be an inspiration to everyone."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg declined to reveal the identities of new Liberal Democrat peers. Mr Clegg told LBC 97.3 radio: "It'll be published any minute now. You can look forward to people, some of whom you won't have heard of, some of whom you may have heard of."

(CBS/AP) Princess Marie of Denmark gave birth Tuesday to her second child, a girl.
The royal palace says the 35-year-old French-born princess and her daughter are doing fine. The princess' last public appearance was at the jubilee for Queen Margrethe last week.
The father, Prince Joachim, was present during the birth. The baby weighed 6.45 pounds and measured 19.6 inches. She has an older brother, Henrik, who was born in May 2009 and two step-brothers. She is 10th in line to the Danish throne.
Joachim, the youngest son of Queen Margrethe, married Marie in May 2008. The 42-year-old prince already has two sons from his previous marriage with Hong Kong-born Alexandra Manley. Prince Nikolai was born on Aug. 28, 1999, and Prince Felix was born on July 22, 2002
The couple divorced in 2005, the first split in nearly 160 years in Europe's oldest monarchy. The former princess gave up her title when she remarried.

Chutzpah, thy name is "Bill":
Campaigning for President Barack Obama in Philadelphia on Monday afternoon, former President Bill Clinton inadvertently struck a note of irony while attempting to criticize Mitt Romney's campaign.
"You're laughing, but who wants a president who will knowingly, repeatedly tell you something he knows is not true?" Clinton asked, after discounting a claim in a recent Romney ad that the Obama administration's auto bailout hurt American workers.
"When I was a kid, if I got my hand caught in the cookie jar, where it wasn't supposed to be, I turned red in my face, and I took my hand out of the cookie jar," Clinton added.
Clinton was impeached in 1998 on one count of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice, after repeatedly telling Americans and a grand jury that he did not have sexual relations with a White House intern.

VP Debate Moderator...interesting back story.
Politics ABC News scrambles to cover up Barack Obama's attendance at VP debate moderator's wedding
President Barack Obama was a guest at the 1991 wedding of ABC senior foreign correspondent and vice presidential debate moderator Martha Raddatz, The Daily Caller has learned. Obama and groom Julius Genachowski, whom Obama would later tap to head the Federal Communications Commission, were Harvard Law School classmates at the time and members of the Harvard Law Review.
After TheDC made preliminary inquiries Monday to confirm Obama's attendance at the wedding, ABC leaked a pre-emptive statement to liberal-leaning news outlets including Politico and The Daily Beast Tuesday, revealing what may have been internal network pressure felt just days before Raddatz was scheduled to moderate the one and only vice-presidential debate Thursday night. Both Politico and The Daily Beast jumped to ABC and Raddatz's defense. The Huffington Post, another liberal news outlet, joined them shortly thereafter, while calling "unusual" ABC's attempt to kill the story before it gained wide circulation.

I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?
I think Ryan will do well with his material but not as a speaker. Bieden will have the speaking part down but not a whole lot of substance.
I'm also reminded that in the grand scheme this debate is not all that important.
You're right. It's not important in the grand scheme of things. But I am really hoping Ryan and Biden clarify a lot of shit in this one. I want to see how each comes to the defense of his running mate, because that, coupled with the first presidential debate, can add a substantial amount of weight to this election and affect how people vote.
For the first time ever I am undecided, so Thursday's debate means a lot to me, actually.

Fun with Public Goods Theory
I just wanted to recommend a Swiftian piece by Slate's Tim Noah, entitled "Would You Privatize National Defense?" Here's a taste:
Suppose the national defense of the United States were relegated to the private sector. Instead of the publicly funded Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, the country would be defended by private militias funded mainly by insurance companies. In the event of foreign attack on U.S. soil, the militias would defend those citizens in the affected areas who'd paid defense insurance premiums through their places of work (or, if self-employed, as individuals). The best-armed troops would defend the wealthiest and most hawkish segments of the population, who would have paid the highest premiums.
Noah spins the idea out along some very fun lines; one advantage of the plan would be that "[e]very citizen would receive an individualized amount of military protection, based on the value each of us placed on defending the homeland." And of course, to the extent there were problems, "market purists would blame [them on the] inherently inflationary nature of third-party insurance payments and would argue for increasing the portion of national defense paid out of pocket in order to discipline buyers and pressure the private militias to get their expenses in line."
Well worth the read (or podcast–Slate's have been consistently good for some time).

After releasing an industrial black metal maelstrom in the "Ichneumon Method" and a more eerie industrial black/ambient piece in "Deleted Scenes from the Transition Hospital" it was interesting to see where The Axis were going to take their music. Well, I can tell you right now, this one will divide opinion.
The Axis new album, "Urfe", can be described as a spoken word piece derived over two disks, with musical contribution and a shed load of industrial ambience. The story, which I do not want to give away post-haste, is that of a man travelling thorough a broken city, full of all the horrors you would expect coming from this band, being led by a mysterious figure, or entity, named "Pylon".
You are told the story by none other than horror and thriller actor Leslie Simpson whose work I find very effective as his British accent narrates the horrors experienced perfectly.
As far as the music goes, it is quite sparse and most of the narration is accompanied by industrial ambiance, moving along with what you would hear in the story. Admittedly this disappointed me, or should I say surprised me at first, because being a huge fan of the two previous outputs I was expecting more tortured riffs and more death or black metal vocals. After a few listens I realised that although there is still some of that present, this is an entirely different beast altogether and now I am very glad for that.
Most of the first disk is made up of spoken word and industrial ambience, bar some strangely Floyd-esque atmospherics and some keyboard work here and there. Now I am aware that this statement alone will put people off, but once you have been dragged in by the story there really is no turning back. This is not an album to rock out to, put a set of headphones in and take it in like a film, a horror film that is actually truly scary. These artists are trying to create, or recreate a genre and are doing it slowly, but very effectively in my opinion, although I have to say you need to invest time into "Urfe" to truly appreciate it. This disk seems like almost an introduction into the madness, but with the brilliance that is the narration combined with the eerie atmospherics and progressive meanderings I keep wanting to go back for more, leaving me perfectly prepared for the second part of the story.
The second disk has more work akin to their previous albums although still very in context with the story. The guitars make their entry here, contributing greatly to the atmosphere, even with the introduction of some clean singing in a similar style as other avant-garde black metal bands like Ved Buens Ende and Arcturus. There is also a return of the tortured shrieked vocals similar to on Deleted Scenes and these parts really up the intensity of the experience. It is as if the first disk is the first chapter of the story, and while it still has some fairly brain melting parts, the chaos really starts to ensue on the second disk with the story reaching new heights which really do require the blackened industrial metal accompaniment that The Axis supply. The story is still narrated throughout but it is more chopped up between the more metal instances in this disk, bringing the listener in and out of the creepy atmosphere and crushing metal, while still feeling Mr. Urfe's pain on his un-fortuitous journey, only to be brought to a haunting conclusion towards the end.
Unfortunately there are a couple of things in this album that I do not believe completely work, although it never really ruins the experience for me. Such things as the very explicit sexual acts described remind me a bit too much of jokey goregrind bands. Also with the almost progressive meanderings Axis go into being a great surprise to me, I would have liked there to be maybe a smidgen more of this, but this is just me nit-picking really and to be honest I cannot really think of any other albums coming out this year or even in the more recent years past that have grabbed my attention as much as this (unless Snorre Ruch can produce another Grymyrk somehow).
Overall this is an album to be experienced rather than to be listened to and it will get its fair share of detractors from fans that just want brutality rather than atmosphere. I for one believe that with most metal releases coming out these days either being re-united bands releasing albums half as good as their old stuff, or bands trying to be "retro", which may be "fun" but has no longevity , The Axis of Perdition have really pushed boundaries with this release. I would even go as far as saying that upon listening to it for the first couple of times I got the same overwhelming excitement and confusion as I had when first being exposed to other extremes like Morbid Angel and Darkthrone.
If you want to investigate the potential furthering of our beloved genre, you could do a lot worse that to investigate here but, I will warn you now, it may leave you asking….
Am I Dead?...... Is this, Death?.

Tampa Bay Rays Scott Kazmir expects to make next start
LHP Scott Kazmir said his cramps were likely the result of dehydration and he felt fine after the game and fully expects to make his next start as scheduled Thursday in Chicago. "It is completely minor,'' he said.
Manager Joe Maddon was also optimistic that Kazmir would be fine. "His left arm cramped up he got really stiff kind of like a dehydration situation,'' Maddon said. "He's fine. He should be fine for his next start. I'm sure he's going to do his workout in a couple days and he's going to pitch in Chicago.''

It has been a pleasure for me to moderate this session about left ventricular myocardial function and strain assessment, one of the main topics of echocardiography today. There can be no doubt that this technique has generated much literature in the last years and that it has a really important position in the research area nowadays. In this session we tried to explain the basis of these techniques, with special emphasis on three dimensional deformation imaging and to clarify the role that they play in our current clinical practice. Dr. Sengupta from Nagpur, India, started the session with the description of myocardial fibre architecture and left ventricular mechanics. He presented the different models described to explain the 3D configuration of the heart. In the following talk, Dr Voigt from Leuven, Belgium, explained to us the deformation imaging. He described the two main techniques developed to evaluate the cardiac mechanics, with its strengths and weaknesses: Doppler Tissue Imaging and Speckle Tracking echocardiography. The choice of the measurement method will depend on the question we want to ask. In the third presentation, Dr Muraru from Padua, Italy, focused on three dimensional imaging. She talked about the advantages and challenges of this new technique and the main investigation lines for its application in clinical practice. In the last presentation, Dr Derumeaux, from Lyon, France, tried to clarify when strain assessment is mandatory. Despite the fact that this method is not yet recommended for routine clinical practice, she described many potential scenarios in which strain assessment could play a really important role in the near future. In my opinion echocardiography is the ideal diagnostic method for assessment of left ventricular function. Several techniques have emerged in the last years with the objective of quantifying the left ventricular function and detection of subtle abnormalities in contractility. The progress made so far is appreciable and really encouraging but more time and work is needed to determine the precise role that these techniques are going to play in routine clinical practice, emphasizing the need to establish reference limits and the standardization among manufacturers.

Burnout's latest iteration (there have been seven games in the series thus far, on five different systems) hits the PSP (there's a PS2 version as well), just as the first next-gen entry to the series (Burnout Paradise) gets announced. Is it just in time to capitalize on the publicity storm the latter announcement is sure to generate, or too small a title to capture the imagination when compared to the feature list of its imminent big brother? Let's take a look...
Burnout is about driving headlong into oncoming traffic, huge crashes and adrenaline pumping driving action. The action itself is split out into a number of series, starting with classic cars and working its way up through factory cars, tuner cars (think: boy racers), hotrods, super cars and more until you reach the ultimate dominator class. Each class represents a step up: faster cars, harder opposition, more extreme handling and ever more insane track layouts. Each class is further broken down into single events, where the goal is generally to wreak havoc with your motor.
Completing the goal(s) of each track earns you dominator points which, at set intervals, unlock access to the next series up. You must complete each series in order as it is necessary to complete each event in turn to unlock the next. The events themselves vary from trashing your opponents, eliminator racing, classic racing and a variety of points-related events where the goal is to be as reckless as possible. Surprisingly, crash mode - the classic "drive at high speed into an intersection and cause as much damage as you can" that has been a staple of the series - is completely absent.
Over the series, the rules have changed a bit as Criterion and EA attempt to find the perfect balance of racing, crashing and pure insanity. True to that legacy, Dominator is not without tweaks to the formula. Unlike in the previous title - Revenge - you can no longer slam willy-nilly into traffic in your own lane. Doing so will result in a spectacular crash and damage your chances at succeeding in your current goal.
The other major change is the introduction of supercharge mode. In a nutshell, supercharge mode means that you now get a "supercharge" meter when you fill your burnout bar. Using your boost once you have supercharge enables you to earn more boost as you supercharge down the road - if you drain your entire boost bar in one long boost, you earn a "burnout". This means that after using all of your boost in one shot, you'll finish up with a full bar of boost, ready to go again (you'll need to earn a little more to get supercharge again).
Furthermore, if you earn a full bar of boost while you supercharge, you'll score a supercharge burnout combo - this means that you'll have a full supercharge meter again and your score multiplier will increase by one - the obvious goal then is to chain endless supercharge combos as you scream around the track. Don't crash though, as that will end your combo.
The track layouts are pretty much what you'd expect from a Burnout title: twists, turns, climbs and downhills set in a variety of locales, in and out of metropolitan areas. Some tracks are better than others - some are downright irritating with corners placed in locations that make them hard to read, whilst others are superb flowing racing fantasies. Which side of the road is the oncoming side changes from track to track, and there are a number of shortcuts/alternative routes, including some that can only be unlocked by taking down a rival in the area of the shortcut itself - another new feature for Dominator.
Vehicle handling is, for the most part, pretty forgiving - handy since the new supercharger gameplay element encourages you to boost continuously, even when doing so will cause you to smash into barriers or take bad lines through corners. Drifting is pretty easy and something you'll want to get good at quickly since it's a great way to fill your burnout meter.
Graphically it's a nice looking title with good looking cars (considering their deformability in crashes), nice environments (with lots of variety) that are nicely lit and skip past at a nice frame rate. There is the occasional slowdown but this only seems to happen outside of the actual driving so isn't really a concern. It's got all the cool noises you'd expect, with satisfying crunches, crashes and engine noises and the familiar "EA trax" pumping out a selection of pop music you've never heard before (Avril Lavigne, in Spanish!). Fortunately EA saw sense and there are no longer mid-game micropauses as the radio system switches tracks – the biggest bugbear of the previous PSP title.
Should you bother? In a word, yes. It's solid Burnout action with a few twists on the core mechanic to keep things interesting. Even if you've never played a Burnout title before, there's no reason not to start with this version. The lack of crash mode is a little disappointing, as is the exclusion of online play (you can upload scores and download tracks, however) but what is here is well implemented. This is a solid gap filler for those of us waiting for the first next-gen Burnout (Paradise), and is a worthy game to have in your pocket, even if it isn't particularly outstanding in any way.

POP star Lily Allen had a packed Glastonbury weekend, firstly starring on the Pyramid stage on Friday June 29 before appearing on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs on Sunday June 29.
After being delayed by an electrical storm, the Cranham singer performed a selection of classic hits to an appreciative crowd at the main Glastonbury stage.
Allen, 29, then opened up about some more personal issues to presenter Kirsty Young on the long-running radio show before selecting songs including Pulp's Common People and Etta James' recording of I Would Rather Go Blind.
The singer tearfully opened up about her previous dependence on drugs, marriage to Sam Cooper and miscarriage in 2010. She also admitted to being quite amused to be more famous than her actor father Keith Allen.
