Armless and immobilized, glazed-over and sexually sated, the wild-haired nude in Munch's The Sin is a concentrated example of the femme fatale frequently depicted in Symbolist art of fin de siècle Europe.1 Printed in three colors from two sides of the same stone, the work is also one of Munch's most technically innovative color lithographs.
During the 1890s, Munch spent much time in Berlin in close association with August Strindberg and his group, Zum Schwarzen Ferkel (The Black Pig). In this avant-garde milieu of male writers and artists, new roles and freedoms for women were generally regarded with fear, and women who ventured outside the traditional roles of wife and mother were depicted in word and image as dangerous and depraved. Although throughout his life Munch created many portraits of strong and individualized women, his work from this period portrays a generalized Woman, tantalizing, frightening, even annihilating. These charged images of powerful women and vulnerable men are among the artist's most troubling and most famous.2
In The Sin, Woman is presented as a lushly carnal, even depraved, object of temptation, and without the traumatized male victim the artist often included in his depictions of the femme fatale.3 The title and perhaps the theme of the work may come from Franz von Stuck's The Sin(1899; Neue Pinakothek, Munich, inv. 7925),4 in which the gaze of the woman is more sexually provocative, and the symbolism, a large snake wrapped around the figure, is far more overt.
The model for The Sin was formerly thought to be the Norwegian artist Tulla Larsen (1869-1942), with whom Munch was romantically involved from 1898 to 1902.5 Obsessed with Larsen after the end of the affair, he made several demonizing images of her between 1902 and 1908.6 Arne Eggum (1989) has convincingly identified the figure in The Sin instead as the model who posed for Munch every morning during the winter and spring of 1902 in Berlin.7 Even accepting this attribution, The Sin is by no means a portrait, and Munch's relationship with Larsen helped form the misogynistic attitudes towards women evident in this print.
To achieve the colored linear image of The Sin, Munch invented a way to print multiple colors from the same original drawing.8 The first state, drawn on the stone with a lithographic crayon and a few strokes of tusche in the ends of the locks of hair, was printed monochromatically; impressions exist in yellow, brown, and black ink, and possibly other colors. To print the image in multiple colors, Munch separated parts of the first-state drawing, or keystone, through the process of transfer lithography. He blocked out areas of the original keystone and took a transfer impression of the rest of the image. He then transferred this impression to the verso of the same stone (which is preserved in the Munch Museet, Oslo). Thus each side of the stone held parts of the same drawing.
The second and later states of the print were printed from the two sides of the stone: the beige skin tones from the keystone side, the red hair and touched-in green eyes from the other. Before printing the second state, however, Munch reworked both sides with tusche. He also scratched away some of the lines in the hair with a needle to allow the beige tones to shine through the red locks.
The Oberlin impression represents the second state. The third state is identical to the second, but for the addition of the initials E M between the locks of hair at lower right. In the fourth state the letters are gone and the keystone has been further worked in tusche in the belly area. All states were printed by Lassally of Berlin.

Munch was born on 12 December 1863 in Loten, Hedmark, a working-class suburb of Kristiania (now Oslo). his father was a military doctor, and the family was aristocratic but poor; sickness and death (his mother died in 1868 and his sister in 1877), and his father's psychological problems, determined the gloomy character of Munch's childhood. Munch studied sculpture under Julius Midelthun (1847-1908) in 1881, and painting under Christian Krohg (1852-1925) in 1882 and Frits Thaulow (dates) in 1883. From 1884 to 1889 he belonged to the Kristiania Bohème, a group of artists, writers, and students opposed to bourgeois lifestyle and morality. his work of this period, painted in a style fusing French Impressionism and Norwegian Naturalism, presents scenes from his troubled childhood and erotic motifs, as well as more acceptable and marketable landscapes and portraits. A solo exhibition in Kristiania in 1889 led to a grant for study in Paris with Léon Bonnat (1833-1922) in 1889. Once there, upon learning of the death of his father, Munch's own psychological crisis led to a rejection of his earlier impressionistic naturalism for Symbolism, and to emotional works with themes such as despair and death, sexuality and love. From 1892 to 1908, he spent much time in Berlin as a member of the avant-garde circle around August Strindberg (see Main Text), while also traveling widely and suffering through an intense romantic affair with Tulla Larsen. his great cycle of paintings, the Frieze of Life, was exhibited at the Berlin Secession in 1902.
From 1908, when he suffered a mental breakdown, Munch lived mostly in Norway, continuing to paint new works (for example, the wall paintings for the University Aula in Kristiania), and to repaint and rework his earlier paintings until his death in Oslo on 23 January 1944. From 1894, Munch turned to printmaking to develop and disseminate his images. The images of the Frieze of Life, for example, were re-created in The Mirror, a print series exhibited in Oslo in 1897 but never completed.9 Munch's huge and highly innovative printed oeuvre was enormously influential on German Expressionist artists, such as Kirchner, Heckel, and Kollwitz. In 1912, he was recognized as one of the precursors of German Expressionism, along with Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh, at the Sonderbund exhibition in Cologne. Munch made more prints in lithography than in any other medium. The subtlety of tone provided by the lithographic process made it his preferred black-and-white medium. Although he made relatively few color lithographs, they are among his most innovative. At his death he left over 15,000 prints, in addition to 1,000 paintings, 5,000 watercolors and drawings, and a few sculptures, to the municipality of Oslo.

(Reuters) - General Motors Co said on Thursday it had placed two engineers on paid leave as part of an internal investigation into defective ignition switches linked to 13 deaths and the global recall this year of 2.6 million cars.
Reuters has confirmed that the engineers are Ray DeGiorgio and Gary Altman.
Also on Thursday, GM said it will take a higher-than-expected charge of $1.3 billion in the first quarter, primarily to cover the cost of recall-related repairs and courtesy transportation, compared with the previously announced $750-million charge.
The automaker said U.S. dealers, in addition to replacing ignition switches on the recalled cars, will replace ignition lock cylinders because ignition keys can be removed while the engine is running. The issue could cause a vehicle to roll away and crash.
GM said it is aware of "several hundred complaints" of keys coming out of ignitions on the recalled cars, and at least one rollaway incident and crash that caused one injury, but no reported fatalities.
The recalled cars include the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion, and span model years 2003-2011.
DeGiorgio designed the original switch for the 2003 Saturn Ion that went into production in August 2002. Versions of that switch were used in other GM models, including the Chevrolet Cobalt, that are also part of the global recall.
GM Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra, testifying last week before Congress, was challenged by Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, who said "a culture of cover-up" caused DeGiorgio to deliver untruthful testimony about his knowledge of the defective ignition switch during his deposition last year for a lawsuit related to a fatal 2010 crash in Georgia.
DeGiorgio said then that the Ion/Cobalt switch was "one of my first ignition switches." The defective switch was redesigned in 2006, according to GM. DeGiorgio denied in his deposition that he knew of the change, but U.S. congressional investigators produced an internal GM document showing DeGiorgio had signed off on the change in April 2006.
"He lied" about his knowledge of the defective part, McCaskill said. Barra said she had seen indications of that as well, but she wanted to let the company probe run its course over the next two months.
Repeated attempts by Reuters to contact DeGiorgio have been unsuccessful.
Altman was the program engineering manager on the Ion and Cobalt. In a deposition in the same 2013 lawsuit, Altman was asked by the plaintiffs' attorney whether GM had made a business decision in 2005 not to fix the switch. He replied, "That is what happened, yes."
Altman did not return a phone call Thursday seeking his comment.
On Thursday, Barra said the engineers were placed on leave after she was briefed by Anton Valukas, who is heading GM's internal investigation. Valukas is the chairman of Jenner & Block. GM has worked with Jenner & Block since 2002, and at least two of the automaker's former top attorneys, Robert Osborne and Elmer Johnson, were partners at the Chicago law firm. {ID:nL2N0M715B]
"This is an interim step as we seek the truth about what happened," Barra said in a statement. (r.reuters.com/zan48v)
Some members of Congress have expressed interest in calling GM engineers, including DeGiorgio, to testify at hearings that will likely come this spring or summer.
"There are still many unanswered questions about who else was involved and the extent of the breakdown," House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Murphy said in a joint statement.
"Ms. Barra testified that she did not have knowledge of the issue, but just how far up the chain did the communications go? What did they know and when did they know it?" added Upton, a Michigan Republican and Murphy, a Pennsylvania Republican.
The faulty ignition switch can be bumped from the "RUN" position to "ACCESSORY," which can cause the engine to turn off suddenly, disabling the air bags and making steering and braking more difficult.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is fining GM $7,000 a day for missing an April 3 deadline to provide information about the recall.
The regulator said on Tuesday that the automaker had not responded to over a third of its questions by the deadline.
GM shares were up slightly at $33.72 in mid-afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock has fallen about 17 percent so far this year.

Duff McKagan wants Guns N' Roses to go ahead with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction without frontman Axl Rose because the honor is a real tribute to the band's dedicated fans.
The rock group was picked to join the prestigious institution in Cleveland, Ohio at this year's ceremony on Saturday, but singer Rose stunned supporters by declining the offer and urging bosses not to induct him "in absentia" or let anyone accept the honor on his behalf.
The band's former bassist McKagan still intends to attend the show with his ex-bandmates Slash, Matt Sorum and Steven Adler, and he insists they will go ahead with the tribute as a mark of respect to their fans.
In a post on his Seattleweekly.com blog on Thursday, he writes, "My band, GNR, will be inducted into the so-fancy Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And on that night, I will honor not myself or the chicken dinner they will most surely provide, but I will be honoring all those people who call themselves the fans of our group called Guns N' Roses.
"Adversity has followed this band since its inception. I get it. That seems to be my sort of 'lot' in life… and I think… those early records indeed may have helped countless others overcome varying adversities in their own lives. It's a wonderful and poignant thing to hear from different fans from around this globe. I hope that I can do you all proud.
"In the end, it's not about who does or doesn't show up from the original band, and I back whatever reason this guy or that has for not coming. It's all good. The songs are the important bit here… and the message they most certainly still must carry."

Chicago Wolves goalie Eddie Lack won't 'play through injury'

VANCOUVER - The contract the Vancouver Canucks negotiated with goaltender Eddie Lack this past summer indicated the team felt he needed one more year of seasoning in the minors before he was ready for prime time.
So far, Lack is proving them right.
Lack's numbers this season with the Chicago Wolves are rather ordinary and do not come close to matching those he posted in his first two AHL seasons.
Lack's goals-against average is 3.00, which ranks him 32nd among AHL goalies who have played at least 300 minutes this season. His save percentage has dipped to .899. Last season, the 24-year-old Swede posted a 2.31 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. His numbers with the Manitoba Moose two seasons ago were 2.26 and .926.
The Canucks are not overly concerned about Lack's play. He has a winning record of 7-4-1 this season and his statistics could be in part a reflection of the Wolves' inconsistent play as a team. The Wolves, who won their first four games this season, have dropped five of their last six games.
Lack has also been dealing with what Canucks assistant general manager Lorne Henning called a minor hip flexor injury. The team has decided to give Lack a few days rest and on Tuesday recalled Joe Cannata from the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL.
"He has been trying to play through it, but he hasn't been able to get better," Henning said of Lack. "He's going to rest it for a few days."
Henning said Lack has struggled with his consistency this season.
"I have seen him four or five times this season and he has played great and then he's kind of let a soft one in," Henning said. "He just has to get through that. But the team has also kind of been up and down and has had some injuries.
"Overall, Eddie has been good, but he just hasn't been as consistent as last year. But I think he has been playing with the hip flexor and it has been bothering him for sure."
Lack signed a two-year, $1.5-million contract with the Canucks this summer. The first year is a two-way deal that pays Lack $85,000 in the minors and $650,000 at the NHL level. Next season, Lack's $850,000 salary is guaranteed no matter where he plays and the Canucks clearly hope he is ready to be their backup by then.
If the lockout is settled in time for an abbreviated NHL season and Roberto Luongo is indeed traded, the Canucks are expected to sign an experienced NHL backup for Cory Schneider.
Cannata, who is likely to remain with Chicago through the weekend, isn't expected play for the Wolves unless Matt Climie stumbles. The Wolves play host to the Rockford IceHogs tonight, travel to Milwaukee to meet the Admirals on Friday night and then play host to the Peoria Rivermen on Saturday night. The Wolves then don't play again until Dec. 7.
Cannata was Vancouver's sixth-round pick in the 2009 draft. He turned pro last spring after a stellar collegiate career with Merrimack College near Boston and won his only start with the Wolves late last season.
The 22-year-old started the season in Kalamazoo, where he has been the No. 2 goalie behind veteran minor-leaguer Joel Martin.
Cannata, a Hobey Baker Award candidate in his senior season at Merrimack, is 2-3 this season with a goals-against average of 3.62 and a .892 save percentage.
"He has played a little inconsistent," Henning said of Cannata. "He had a concussion so that kind of slowed him down a bit, but now he's back. I think it's part of being a first-year pro. When our guys were down there he had a phenomenal game, but he hasn't been able to put a couple of games together."
ICE CHIPS: Canuck winger Jannik Hansen has been a point-a-game player with Tappara Tampere since joining the Finnish League club earlier this month.
Hansen has three goals and five assists in eight games with Tappara, which sits tied for seventh in the 14-team league. . .Owner Francesco Aquilini, general manager Mike Gillis and chief operating officer Victor de Bonis will all attend what figures to be a pivotal Dec. 5 NHL board of governors meeting in New York.

Lack of rain again hurting hay
Staff writer
Brad Wiens' alfalfa crop was doing well, but a lack of rain in the last couple of weeks could change that, evidenced by growing cracks in the soil.
"It started out as a real good year growing hay. We had a lot of spring rains, and that helps the hay to really grow," he said. "Now it's kind of turned. We haven't had rain for a while, so the hay's kind of quit growing."
Wiens feeds very little of his hay, but ships much of it to dairies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Texas.
"What I'm baling right now is really good quality. It only got 12 to 18 inches tall," Wiens said. "It makes really soft hay, and the leaves are really well attached. It makes much more desirable hay for the cattle."
Rickey Roberts, extension agent for Marion County, said the county's brome and alfalfa harvest improved in 2013, from a tonnage standpoint.
If the weather stays the way it has been, though, there may not be much more hay to bale.
"As dry as it is now, I don't think we'll get another cutting of this hay until it rains again," Roberts said. "As we're sitting today, I still think we have more hay than we had a year ago. That can change though."
Roberts said harvesters usually get one cut of brome, and three to four cuts of alfalfa per year.
Pricing for hay varies by the kind of bale it is in, as well as the quality. Wiens said a ton of alfalfa can go for $200.
Roberts said a large round bale of brome hay can go from $100 to $130, and prairie hay, like bluestem, could go between $100 and $110.
"It may be a little early to talk about price of hay, because if we don't get any more rain over a large part of the country, then hay supplies get really tight again," Roberts said. "Then that hay price could shoot up in a hurry."
Roberts said the variability of hay prices ultimately depends on how much rain the hay receives.
"I think that the alfalfa hay needs rain, and it needs it in a bad way," he said.

The 20 Most Beautiful Museums in the World
[Editor's note: It's Labor Day, so your devoted Flavorwire team is taking a break. To keep you entertained, we're leaving you with our most popular features of the summer months. This post originally ran July 7th.]
This week, we were blown away by this gorgeous concept for a "spiral garden museum" in Taipei, which sadly didn't make it into the final round of the design competition and thus will never become a reality. Though we're disappointed, the project reminded us of the gloriously beautiful museums that already exist in our wide world, so to bind our wounds over the Taipei garden museum (and to indulge in a little architecture candy) we've collected twenty of the most lovely here. After all, what better way to store and display some of the world's greatest artwork than in a structure as well-designed and beautiful as the art itself? Click through to see our picks for the most beautiful museums from all over the world, and if we've missed your favorite — or if the Guggenheim makes you gag — let us know which ones you'd choose in the comments!

MIDDLEBURY — Dr. Maxine Fidler has long quipped about the legibility of her handwriting. Copious examples of it could be found in the individual files maintained for the approximately 200 patients in her growing Middlebury practice, Acorn Natural Medicine PLC.
Well, after nine months of after-hours work, Fidler has translated her scrawl-on-paper into what is becoming the universal language of physicians' offices and hospitals throughout the state: Typed print and crisp charts securely stored and retrieved through a computer database.
Making the transition is a lengthy and expensive chore for hospitals and most health care practitioners, as they strive to be part of a paperless network through which medical records can be more easily accessed and shared with other providers with the patients' consent.
Fortunately for Fidler the transition has only cost her some extra time at the office. She located a free, certified electronic medical records service to advise her on the collation, transcription and storage of her patients' medical data. Nine months and a lot of typing and scanning later, Fidler has been able to go paperless. She can call up patients' information from different locations with a few taps on the keyboard, instead of wading through files at her office.
"It is thrilling for me that it is no longer difficult, because not only is (the information) digitized, it is labeled," Fidler said. "I can search by timeframe and by type of test. It is much easier to get the results much quicker."
She can also respond more nimbly to her patients' inquiries by being able to retrieve data outside of her office.
"I never have to receive a phone call again and have someone ask me something and have me say, 'I'm sorry, I don't have your chart in front of me,'" she said.
And the information flow could get even easier for Fidler and her patients. She said her electronic medical records system consultant (called "Practice Fusion") should have a mobile application available before the end of the year. And Fidler anticipates her clients will be able to tap into their own records when a secure "patient portal" is created within her data network. This will also provide for a more secure e-mail avenue through which the physician and client can converse.
She will also look into "e-prescribing" to further use technology to her and her patients' advantage.
Having computerized records, Fidler noted, will allow for easier sharing of information with her clients' other providers (with the clients' permission). Some of Fidler's patients are dealing with chronic pain. She is often called upon to weave different techniques — such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, acupressure and dietary supplements — into a patient's overall treatment plan.
"Logistically, what I have been doing is e-faxing to other providers in the system," Fidler said. "It does make that easier."
But the biggest joy for Fidler about the transition remains the ease by which she can call up documents.
"Especially with people who have very long, complex issues that have a fairly big chart, trying to find any lab that you want is much, much quicker electronically, than finding a piece of paper," said Fidler, who can now either update a patient's records in real time during visits or type her notes at the end of the day.
She sympathizes with the plight of hospitals and the larger practices now in the midst of digitizing their respective records. The Vermont Green Mountain Care board is cutting hospitals some financial slack in acknowledgement of the expense of computerizing records as part of the statewide health care reform effort, but the chore has been Herculean for some providers who need to get on the same page quickly.
"Now that it's all done, I can say I feel privileged to have been able to do it myself," Fidler said. "I think it gave me a unique perspective that maybe larger places don't get because someone else is doing that part."

Chef Matt Sigel Survives Hell's Kitchenby Paul Motter | February 15, 2010
Our 2010 Cruisemates Culinary Cruise on Norwegian Epic will feature a brand new ship and a hot new chef.
The Fox network just re-ran the entire season four of Hell's Kitchen featuring Matt Sigel, our guest chef for the upcoming CruiseMates Culinary cruise on Norwegian Epic Oct 30, 2010. Of course, we watched the entire season again to catch Matt in action, making it to the final six before being eliminated. For those of you who also watched, I am sure you realize Matt was not the most popular person with his competing chefs.
I find it interesting that they hardly mention Matt's prior experience as outlined in my interview below. In fact, Matt has worked in some Michelin-starred New York restaurants with celebrity chefs. One of the celebrity chefs actually paid for his way through culinary school He is far more experienced than the way he was portrayed on the air.
I thought about the nature of shows like "Hells Kitchen" and I wonder how much they deliberately try to provoke the contestants into irrational behavior. After all, without the psychological drama, almost always precipitated by host chef Gordon Ramsey himself, the show would not be the same.
Let's be honest, Matt did not look good on the show. In fact he was portrayed as something of a psycho. Having talked to him extensively on the phone about the show and other life experiences I have to say this was not the same man I met. Matt only had good things to say about the show to me. This only makes sense if you also believe, as I do, that there is a good amount of "Hollywood" built into the show and that what you see on the final cut is only a tiny fraction of what really happened during the taping.This can be verified in an interview the season's final winner, Christina MacHamer, did with BuddyTV.com where she says, "after Matt was traded to the red team, all of the girls decided they were going to target him for elimination. Later that night, Matt and I had a long talk out on the patio. Matt had no friends in Hell's Kitchen, and, in truth, I didn't either. That night we formed an alliance. Although Gordon may have the final say, I believe that this "friendship" was pivotal in both of us making it to the final six."
Christina also adds this illumination, "When watching this show, you must take it in stride, and remember that editing leads us to our opinions as viewers. Jen made a great deal of obnoxious comments on season 4. She wasn't always that horrible, but when certain comments and actions are put together, the villain emerges."
Watching the show it is obvious that Matt started out with a lot of enthusiasm but stopped enjoying the experience at some point. Having already met him personally I experienced a really sweet young man who genuinely knows and loves the culinary arts. He had not one bad thing to say about his experience on Hell's Kitchen and praised Gordon Ramsey, except one comment about a personality dispute he had with the eventual winner, Christina MacHamer. In fact, watching the show I saw many moments when Ramsey actually showed true fondness for Matt despite the way the shows producers decided to portray him in the end. He was the first person Ramsey chose to squirt with a bottle of celebratory champagne, for example, on the final show.
I have to wonder how much is real about this "reality" soap opera that just happens to be staged in a restuarant actually built on a sound stage in Hollywood. The prize for Matt's season, mentioned repeatedly, was the job title of "executive chef" at Gordon Ramsey's newest West Hollywood restaurant, "London." I just check and the truth is the show works like the this; the winner is awarded $250,000 and they are given the choice of taking it one lump sum or earning during a year working in the restaurant featured during the season. Many chefs would opt to work in the restuarant to build out their resume, and Christina did, but she was eventually given the job of sous chef, not "executive chef" as promised so many time during the show. She did not stay for more than one year.
Christina has now returned to her native St louis where she is pursuing other food-related business interests, but we do not see any evidence that she has yet to work in any restaurant as an executive chef, let alone Gordon Ramsey's "London West Hollywood." NOt that she is not a very sweet and talented young lady. She had this to say about matt and the final competition,"Christina: I'm definitely glad I got Matt instead of Jen. I think she's probably a stronger cook than Matt is, but with Matt you know what you got. Sometimes he can be a little off, but you know when he's starting to break down and how to react to that. With Jen, you never know. (laughing) I don't want an unknown in the restaurant." In this interview at realitytvworld.com.
I am not saying this to disparage Christina or the show. I am merely saying my gut feeling is that the show is more about creating a good drama for television viewers than it is about culinary talent. In other words, there is a lot that happens on screen that does not reflect the reality of what actually played out during the contest. That's show biz, folks. I personally lived in Hollywood for 12 years and have had my share of time witnessing show biz in action.
In any case, that is my theory and we WILL be discussing Matt's experience on the show Hell's Kitchen during our culinary cruise on the Norwegian Epic, even though he did sign a non-disclosure agreement with the producers. All we need to do is make sure no one is video-taping when we get Matt to give us the real scoop of what happened during the taping of the show.
In my interview of Matt below you will see that he is a sincere and accomlished chef who certainly had far more experience than how he was portrayed during the show. Yes, he is an authentic Brooklynite now living in New Jersey. He has that East Coast edge, which after my years in New York I have also learned to appreciate for its authenticity. Here is our original interview with Matt Sigel from Hell's Kitchen....
Matt Sigel Survives Hell's Kitchen
Can an accomplished chef find culinary heaven on a cruise ship? Up-and -coming celebrity Chef Matt Sigel was hooked after his very first cruise on Carnival Miracle. "The food was phenomenal," he said, "and the service was incredible. I certainly didn't expect it and I couldn't believe it." That cruise was in October, 2006. Not long after that he got married and then appeared on Season Four of the Fox Network hit series Hell's Kitchen.
Before his first cruise, Matt admits thinking, "I don't want to be stuck on a boat with cafeteria food served out of buckets." But his first cruise turned that premise on its ear, and Matt is so excited about cruising now that he says "it's the only way I want to travel." So when we offered Matt the opportunity to host the 2010 CruiseMates Culinary Cruise, he didn't hesitate for a second. The cruise will sail on Norwegian Epic, the brand new NCL flagship still under construction in France and scheduled to debut next year.
The Culinary Cruise will feature cooking demonstrations by Matt, question-and-answer sessions, plenty of "how to" interactive demonstrations and a culinary palate test similar the one he dominated on Hell's Kitchen. If you would like to join us, this is a great way try a brand new ship, in the company of our great CruiseMates readers, and immerse yourself in the culinary arts all at once.
Chef Matt's Story At just 37, Matt's philosophy is that it is never too soon or too late to learn something new. Always more focused on where he is going rather than where he has been, this scrappy Brooklynite emerged as a professional chef through sheer tenacity and determination. He has worked with some of the best chefs in the world and credits many of them for believing in him even when he wasn't so sure about himself. Matt started cooking at age 27 -- later than many chefs -- but he started in New York City, the right place to learn a lot quickly. His first job was with celebrity chef Matthew Kenney, one of Food and Wine Magazine's Top-10 Chefs, followed by a series of jobs and experiences that have both toughened and refined Matt's skills.
Skill, and talent, both are essential to the art of cuisine. When it comes to natural born talent Matt's focus on discerning and mastering the nuance of fresh ingredients is one of his best assets. This talent was even more highly developed after his trial by fire on Hell's Kitchen. "Chef Gordon Ramsey (the host chef on the show) taught me a lot about simplicity in food," he said.
Matt got his start by writing his first boss, executive chef Matthew Kenney, a touching letter explaining that although he didn't have any cooking experience, he was so compelled by Kenney's story that he just wanted to meet him. Soon Matt was working at Kenney's Café M and Canteen restaurants, and Kenney paid his tuition to one of the country's top cooking schools, New York's Institute of Culinary Education.
Matt was going to school from 9 to 5 and working at Canteen from 6 p.m. to midnight or later every night. For a New Yorker in the restaurant business, that is typical. It's the one city where a chef can continue to grow no matter how much experience they have. Matt soaked up culinary knowledge like a sponge. "You can learn something from anyone," he says. "You just have to keep your ears, eyes and your mind open to new possibilities."
Matt continued to learn from the best chefs in New York. He met Drew Neirpont, who along with Robert De Niro and celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa started the renowned restaurant Nobu. Soon Matt was working at another Neirpont restaurant, Icon; at the Hotel W on 38th St.
Around this time the idea of cooking on television kept popping up. Matt did a demo with Martin Yan of "Yan Can Cook," A too-close call on September 11 prompted a move to Atlantic City where he started working at Caesar's with Robert Irvine, the controversial host of the Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible," and executive chef at the hotel. "There I met with the most talented chef I have ever worked with - Keith Mitchell" Matt said.
Eager to break through as a celebrity chef himself, Matt started listening to people urging him to try Hell's Kitchen. The original version of Hell's Kitchen started in the U.K. and the U.S. version is hosted by British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey. Matt appeared on Season 4, beginning April 2008. He did not win the grand prize (a $250,000-a-year job as head chef under Ramsey in a West Hollywood eatery), but came in sixth. But he was a very scrappy contender who did not go unnoticed, especially when he butted heads with the eventual winner, Christina Machamer, more than once.
"I was drawn to Hell's Kitchen because it is the most realistic cooking show on television. That is real life for a chef, not these cooking shows where you put a dish in the oven and it comes out fully cooked in five minutes. Being a chef is extremely hard work. You have to be creative and perform flawlessly under very stressful conditions," he said. Since he was married just before he did the show, his wife likes to say "he just wanted to be yelled at by Chef Gordon instead of me."
That may be real life for a chef working in a restaurant, but the CruiseMates Culinary Cruise will not be "Hell's Kitchen." We will see the more philosophical side of Matt, the devoted culinary disciple.The CruiseMates Culinary Cruise
Although our cruise is still over a year away, Matt already has some excellent ideas.
Matt is passionate about his ingredients. From a writer for Bon Appétit Magazine, I recently learned the latest culinary buzzword is "fresh." The point is the difference that a truly fresh ingredient can make in the final taste of a dish, whether from the garden or the field. I have experienced this difference myself in countryside restaurants in France where they kept live chickens in a pen.
Matt won't show us how to pluck feathers, but he will show us how to recognize, and where to find, truly fresh ingredients. He will show us to make the freshness of your ingredients into a significant taste factor.
Matt is already famous for a favorite dish of many cruisers; his Wild Mushroom Risotto was deemed by chef Gordon Ramsey to be the best ever to come out of Hell's Kitchen (fans of the show know how much risotto they cook). Matt is obsessive about the process of making authentic Italian risotto, rather than relying on the shortcuts many American chefs use.
Another idea Matt has been toying with is how to stock the perfect pantry -- to know which ingredients you should always have on hand, and which ones you shouldn't.
Matt is also passionate on the art of dining. As a chef, he has seen diners unknowingly do things that ruin the experience of his best dishes. For example, a culinary master will select side dishes that complement the main course. Matt recommends that you not ask a waiter to make substitutions for what the chef has chosen.
Matt also endorses trying new kinds of food. "Please don't order a steak and baked potato in a fine restaurant," he says. "Go to a steakhouse for that. If you go to a renowned chef's restaurant, then try the special -- especially if it is something you normally wouldn't order. That is how you find new foods to love," he says.
To Matt, one of life's greatest joys is finding a delicious way to prepare a food he may not even like. "I can't stand sliced beets from a can," says Matt, "but freshly picked and baked whole makes a beet a thing of joy - serve with a raspberry sauce. I love them, even though I never expected it."
But you might not want to copy Matt's obsession with another food he doesn't like, tripe - cow's stomach -- which requires three hours of boiling just to make it chewable.
"I order tripe every time I see it on a menu," Matt says, "but I still haven't found the right recipe." That is dedication to the art of cuisine.
Possible Recipes for the Culinary Cruise Matt says he would love to hear suggestions from the people who book the Culinary Cruise. His ideas include Italian fare, such as making gnocchi from scratch; or Caribbean cuisine -- since that is where we will be.
"The Caribbean is a melting pot of cuisine," he says. "You have the fresh tropical fruits and of course amazing spices from the West Indies." He notes that Jamaica has a unique cuisine all its own, while Martinique has Creole roots due to its French and Caribbean influences.
Matt loves to work with lobster, a favorite of every cruiser, as well as curry. "How about a lobster salad with a curry mayo?" he asks. "I also have a Caribbean Shrimp Cocktail with shrimp on sugarcane skewers served in a martini glass with a Creole cocktail sauce."
Unusual Food Experiences I asked Matt about the most unusual foods he has ever eaten, and I was surprised at his answer, but I will leave those surprises for later. Furthermore, if you want to find out more about Hell's Kitchen, including his now famous feud with Christina, that will be covered on the cruise as well. All ten episodes of the entire season four with Matt can still be seen online.
I have to say that just doing research for this cruise has piqued my interest in culinary arts. Learning more about professional chefs has me really looking forward to this cruise. I think that if you book this cruise you will also gain a new interest in fine food, if you don't already have one - and you could be looking forward to this cruise as much as I am now.
Our "Chef Matt Sigel Culinary Cruise" sails Oct. 30, 2010 on the brand new Norwegian Epic. For more details go here: Chef Matt Sigel Culinary Cruise.

April 23, 2011
Provo, Utah - For the second time this season, No. 7 UCSB upset the second-ranked BYU Cougars, advancing to the second round of the MPSF playoffs by virtue of a 3-1 victory. Game scores were 25-21, 23-25, 26-24, 25-22. The defeat was the first loss for BYU at home all season. It was UCSB's first playoff victory since the 2007 season, when they beat the UCLA Bruins in the first round of that year's tournament. The last time UCSB and BYU matched up in the postseason, the Gauchos earned a similar result, upsetting BYU back in 2005. UCSB's goal of a national championship remains alive as they will head to Long Beach next Thursday for the conference semifinal match. UCSB's record improved to 15-14, 12-11 in conference play, while BYU will finish the year with a 20-8 record and a 16-7 MPSF mark.
For Saturday's match, the Gauchos were led by senior outside hitter Jeff Menzel. Jeff, who was just this week named to the All-MPSF first team, continued his hot streak by recording a season-high 27 kills. Menzel hit .373 for the match and added a match-high 8 digs to his solid statline. BYU entered the game having won seven consecutive matches, but UCSB seemed unfazed, coming out roaring in the first set. As a team, they hit .324 for the set while holding the Cougars to a match-low 21 points.
Though the Gauchos dropped a tightly contested second game, they avenged that loss by taking the final two sets on the back of Menzel's dominant play. UCSB hit a lofty .478 in the decisive fourth set while holding the Cougars to a .235 clip for the match.
Senior opposite Cullen Irons also had a strong match for the Gauchos, racking up 13 kills and three blocks. He and Menzel combined for 40 kills. Scott Slaughter, an All-MPSF second-teamer, had seven kills and a team-high seven blocks. Senior setter Vince Devany, an All-MPSF honorable mention, eclipsed the 50-assist mark for the fifth time this season, finishing with 52.
The Cougars were led by some usual suspects- outsides Robb Stowell (19 kills) and Taylor Sander (15 kills) continued their strong attacking while middle blocker Futi Tavana gave the Gauchos fits again, compiling a match-high nine blocks on the match, his highest total in a match against the Gauchos this year.
Next week, the Gauchos will face off against No. 6 Long Beach State, who upset No. 3 Stanford, in the conference semifinal on Thursday night. It will be their first time reaching the semifinals since the 2007 season. UCSB was 0-2 against the 49ers this season.

ALBUQUERQUE, June 13 (UPI) -- A whistle-blower lawsuit against Science Applications International Corp. is being settled with an $11.75 million payment to the U.S. government.
The lawsuit brought by Phillips and Cohen LLP on behalf of an unidentified client, alleged that SAIC had "cheated the government out of millions of dollars" under a training program that was part of the government's Weapons of Mass Destruction First Responder Program.
"If SAIC had been honest and charged the government based on its true costs, additional funds would have been available to train more first responders," said Peter W. Chatfield, an attorney with Phillips and Cohen.
"We continue to see how important first responder training is to deal with terrorist attacks -- most recently in Boston. So it's important to train as many first responders as possible with the government funds that are allocated."
The first-responder program was established by Congress in response to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. SAIC worked as a subcontractor to New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, which has received government funding for the program.
SAIC received the award on "a sole-source basis and was required to provide accurate information about its costs and profits but the lawsuit said the company "falsely certified" that its costs included payment for full-time employees who received fringe benefits to conduct the training.
Instead, SAIC used cheaper, part-time employees who received few benefits, the lawsuit said.
"Both the federal government and New Mexico Tech relied on SAIC to provide accurate information about its costs," said Tim McCormack, an attorney with Phillips and Cohen. "We alleged that SAIC instead inflated its costs so that it could capture roughly one-third of New Mexico Tech's total appropriation."
The whistle-blower was Richard Priem, who was a SAIC project manager for the WMD First Responder Program and other training programs at New Mexico Tech.
The whistle-blower lawsuit was filed in federal district court in Albuquerque, where Priem lives.

NEW ORLEANS -- Sharing a stage with the Gronkowski brothers and Andrew Luck, Jimmy Graham easily was the most popular man on the stage at Wednesday's Play 60 event at the NFL Experience.
Logical, given Graham's lofty standing as a hometown hero in the Big Easy. After he spoke to a large gathering of children at New Orleans' massive convention center, we caught up with the New Orleans Saints' star tight end.
Graham has started rehab following surgery this month to repair a lingering wrist injury, saying "everything's going well" in the recovery process. He was asked if he's spoken to Saints coach Sean Payton since his bounty-related suspension was lifted.
"I haven't talked to him yet, I was going to go by his office today, been very busy as you can see," he said. "I'm just glad to have him back. He's our leader. I'm just ready to really sit down and speak with him and see what he did with his time off."
Payton wasted no time tending to business after his reinstatement, quickly firing defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and defensive backs coach Ken Flajole. Was Graham surprised by the moves?
"For me, I'm not really into hiring and firing, I just play the game," Graham said. "Sean knows what he's doing, obviously he's in my opinion the best coach in the NFL. He's going to do what's right for the rest of us."

Building MySQL from the source code enables you to customize build parameters, compiler optimizations, and installation location. For a list of systems on which MySQL is known to run, see https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html.
Before you proceed with an installation from source, check whether Oracle produces a precompiled binary distribution for your platform and whether it works for you. We put a great deal of effort into ensuring that our binaries are built with the best possible options for optimal performance. Instructions for installing binary distributions are available in Chapter 3, Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries.
Building MySQL with nonstandard options may lead to reduced functionality, performance, or security.
This section describes how to build MySQL from source using CMake. Before MySQL 5.5, source builds used the GNU autotools on Unix-like systems. Source builds on Windows used CMake, but the process was different from that described here. For source-building instructions for older versions of MySQL, see the MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual. If you are familiar with autotools but not CMake, you might find these transition instructions helpful: Autotools to CMake Transition Guide
Source Installation Methods
There are two methods for installing MySQL from source:
Use a standard MySQL source distribution. To obtain a standard distribution, see Section 2.2, "How to Get MySQL". For instructions on building from a standard distribution, see Section 4.2, "Installing MySQL Using a Standard Source Distribution".
Standard distributions are available as compressed tar files, Zip archives, or RPM packages. Distribution files have names of the form
mysql-, or
mysql-, where
VERSIONis a number like
5.5.62. File names for source distributions can be distinguished from those for precompiled binary distributions in that source distribution names are generic and include no platform name, whereas binary distribution names include a platform name indicating the type of system for which the distribution is intended (for example,
Use a MySQL development tree. For information on building from one of the development trees, see Section 4.3, "Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree".
Source Installation System Requirements
Installation of MySQL from source requires several development tools. Some of these tools are needed no matter whether you use a standard source distribution or a development source tree. Other tool requirements depend on which installation method you use.
To install MySQL from source, the following system requirements must be satisfied, regardless of installation method:
CMake, which is used as the build framework on all platforms. CMake can be downloaded from http://www.cmake.org.
A good make program. Although some platforms come with their own make implementations, it is highly recommended that you use GNU make 3.75 or higher. It may already be available on your system as gmake. GNU make is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/make/.
A working ANSI C++ compiler. GCC 4.2.1 or later, Sun Studio 12 or later, Visual Studio 2008 or later, and many current vendor-supplied compilers are known to work.
The ncurses library.
Sufficient free memory. If you encounter problems such as "internal compiler error" when compiling large source files, it may be that you have too little memory. If compiling on a virtual machine, try increasing the memory allocation.
Perl is needed if you intend to run test scripts. Most Unix-like systems include Perl. On Windows, you can use a version such as ActiveState Perl.
To install MySQL from a standard source distribution, one of the following tools is required to unpack the distribution file:
For a
.tar.gzcompressed tar file: GNU
gunzipto uncompress the distribution and a reasonable tar to unpack it. If your tar program supports the
zoption, it can both uncompress and unpack the file.
GNU tar is known to work. The standard tar provided with some operating systems is not able to unpack the long file names in the MySQL distribution. You should download and install GNU tar, or if available, use a preinstalled version of GNU tar. Usually this is available as gnutar, gtar, or as tar within a GNU or Free Software directory, such as
/usr/local/bin. GNU tar is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/.
For a
.zipZip archive: WinZip or another tool that can read
For an
.rpmRPM package: The rpmbuild program used to build the distribution unpacks it.
To install MySQL from a development source tree, the following additional tools are required:
The Git revision control system is required to obtain the development source code. The GitHub Help provides instructions for downloading and installing Git on different platforms. MySQL officially joined GitHub in September, 2014. For more information about MySQL's move to GitHub, refer to the announcement on the MySQL Release Engineering blog: MySQL on GitHub
bison 2.1 or higher, available from http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/. (Version 1 is no longer supported.) Use the latest version of bison where possible; if you experience problems, upgrade to a later version, rather than revert to an earlier one.
bison is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/.
bisonfor Windows can be downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm. Download the package labeled "Complete package, excluding sources". On Windows, the default location for bison is the
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32directory. Some utilities may fail to find bison because of the space in the directory name. Also, Visual Studio may simply hang if there are spaces in the path. You can resolve these problems by installing into a directory that does not contain a space (for example
On Solaris Express, m4 must be installed in addition to bison. m4 is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/.
If you have to install any programs, modify your
PATH environment variable to include any
directories in which the programs are located. See
Setting Environment Variables.

When I was young my favorite soup came in a red box. It consisted of two things….salty broth and vermicelli noodles. To this day, if I am sick the first thing I want to eat when I start to feel better is Lipton's Noodle Soup. I have never looked at the sodium count, but I'm sure it's through the roof. Still, it's good and it makes me feel better. So there.
When I was in the store the other day I came across a package of short vermicelli noodles and I grabbed it. My first thought was that I would recreate Lipton's Noodle soup and the kids would love it. Somewhere along the way I decided to make it a true chicken noodle soup with the carrots, chicken, celery and parsley. However I decided to chop everything up very small just like the noodles. I also added some bouillon to the broth to make it taste even more like my favorite soup in the red box.
Perfect for little mouths to eat and carry to school in a thermos in their little lunchboxes. I honestly think the fact that everything was cut up so small made it easier and more appealing for them to eat.
The girls loved it and happily ate it three days in a row – no complaints. I was worried that after the first two days they might grow tired of it. However, the only complaint was that it wasn't hot enough on day 2. Oh well, it was still gone.
I decided to buy each of the girls a Thermos last year so that I could send them some different foods in their lunches. We probably use them 2-3 days a week. Sometimes I will send leftovers and some days we will pack it with a fruit salad and yogurt. I know people are always looking for different lunch ideas for the kids and if you don't have a Thermos I definitely suggest purchasing some. Having these increases your lunch possibilities threefold…maybe even one hundred.
Plus, how cute is Hello Kitty?
Lunchbox Chicken Noodle Soup
- 2 carrots
- 2 stalks of celery
- 2 tablespoons olive oil can use half butter if you would like
- 1 32 ounce box of low sodium chicken broth
- 4 cups of water
- 3 tablespoons of chicken base I use Better Than Broth and you can use this to taste
- 2 cups cooked chicken - cut into small cubes 1/4" is what I did
- 6 oz. short vermicelli noodles you can use more or less depending on your preferences, however if you add more you may need to add additional liquid.
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- Chop celery and carrots into a small dice about 1/4 inch. Saute in olive oil in a soup pot for several minutes until tender. Add remaining ingredients through chicken and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn heat up and bring to a gentle boil. Add noodles and cook until tender. Turn soup back down to a simmer and add parsley flakes. Simmer for 5-10 minutes more and serve.

In the past five years the U.S. started the foreclosure process for more than 8.2 million homes. It has completed 4 million of them.
A new report and presentation from RealtyTrac says that there are currently at least 1.4 million U.S. properties in some state of foreclosure. Also, foreclosure activity is expected to rise from the 'artificially low levels of 2011.'
We drew on the part of the presentation that focuses on what the foreclosure market looks like now, and what to expect in 2012. It highlights the California housing market since it's the largest in the country.

Diplo & Skrillex (Larry Busacca/Getty Images)
As EDM continues to permeate the current musical landscape, two of the scene's leading forces have come together to form a virtual DJ super-group.
Genre-defying producer Diplo has teamed up with dubstep superstar Skrillex to form a new project coined Jack U, which will debut at this summer's tour of Mad Decent Block Parties. (Mad Decent is, of course, Diplo's record label, which released Baauer's monster hit and viral phenomenon, "Harlem Shake.")
The announcement came via Diplo's Twitter feed, after fans began publicly inquiring about Jack U when the act was listed as a featured performer on the upcoming Block Parties alongside such artists as Major Lazer, Matt & Kim, Dillon Francis and Riff Raff.

Plus addressing and subdomain addressing
Plus addressing and subdomain addressing are features that allow you to give out variations of your normal email address that still arrive at your account. It's easy to create a rule to automatically filter messages sent to a particular variant, which can be helpful for managing mailing lists and site registrations.
You do not have to configure anything to create these addresses. They work right now, for both your
firstname.lastname@example.com address and any aliases you have configured, both on Fastmail domains and any personal domains.
Plus addressing
Plus addressing means any email sent to
email@example.com is still delivered to your account. The part of the email address between the "+" and the "@" is ignored for determining which account it belongs to. This allows you to create limitless variations on your email address to give out to different people, sites or mailing lists.
If the part after the "+" matches the name of one of your folders (see below for how the matching works), the message will automatically be delivered there instead of your Inbox. You don't even need to create an explicit rule!
For example, suppose you gave someone the address
email@example.com. Any messages sent to this address will be delivered to
firstname.lastname@example.com, and if you have a folder called Hiking, will be delivered straight to that folder rather than your Inbox.
The main downside to plus addressing is that addresses with a "+" are considered (incorrectly) to be invalid by some websites, and disallowed on some registration forms. Also, people may find this kind of address hard to remember, because it is quite unusual. Subdomain addressing, described below, overcomes these problems.
Subdomain addressing
Subdomain addressing offers all the advantages of plus addressing with fewer disadvantages. It works the same as plus addressing, but instead of
email@example.com, you can use an address of the form
firstname.lastname@example.com. Just like with plus addressing, messages will be automatically filed into folders with a matching name.
Please note, your username cannot include an underscore ("_") or a dot (".") if you wish to use subdomain addressing. Hostnames on the internet cannot have underscores and @foo.bar.example.com could be email@example.com or email@example.com if both domains exist. You can change your username on the Advanced → Rename screen.
Only one level of subdomain addressing is supported:
email@example.com is fine, but
firstname.lastname@example.com will not work.
How a folder is matched
Sub-domain and plus addressing use fuzzy folder matching. When a regular folder match fails, folders are compared case-insensitively, with the hyphen ("-"), underscore ("_") and space (" ") characters treated the same. A full stop (".") is used to separate a parent from a subfolder. So if you have a folder "Mailing Lists.My List", then messages sent to
firstname.lastname@example.com will get filed into that folder.
If after a match the delivery of the mail should have been to a subfolder but the subfolder does not exist, the mail is delivered to the parent folder, rather than to the Inbox. For example, if you sent a message to
firstname.lastname@example.com and you don't have a subfolder "Hiking" under the "Mailing Lists" folder, then the email will go to the "Mailing Lists" folder rather than the Inbox.
If you create a rule that files the message into a folder, this will override the folder matching described above.
Sending email from a plus or subdomain address
To send email using
email@example.com, create an account identity with that email address. Alternatively, create an account identity with the email address
*@username.domain.tld which will let you send email with any text you like replacing the

Bosnia-Hertzegovina v Portugal
Striker Edin Dzeko says Portugal are favourites to progress from the play-off tie due to the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester City man is Bosnia's trump card, but knows the free-scoring Real Madrid forward could take the game away from them if he hits his straps.
Dzeko looked to have secured Bosnia's automatic qualification for Euro 2012 with the opener against France in their final group game before Samir Nasri's penalty assured Les Blues of their progress to next summer's finals.
"We had no luck but we do have a chance for revenge," Dzeko said.
"Any team that have Ronaldo in their ranks will be the favourites but we've shown in this qualifying campaign that we can cause headaches for the best teams.
"We had no luck with the French, maybe the Portuguese can be our ticket to Euro 2012."
Turkey v Croatia
Luke Modric will be looking to avoid another heartbreaking climax against Turkey when the pair meet in the Euro 2012 play-offs.
Turkey knocked Croatia out at the quarter-final stage at Euro 2008 after a penalty shoot-out victory followed an extra-time equaliser.
And Tottenham Hotspur's star man says the game represents one of the biggest in the players' careers.
"I just hope we can win the games and qualify, it's massively important for everyone, for our careers, for Croatian football," said Luka.
"These will be special games and Turkey is a tough opponent.
"The team has the quality and we need to be there (at the finals) but if we want to be there, we need to prove it against Turkey and show our quality. That's only way we can do it. There is no other way."
Czech Republic v Montenegro
Montenegro talisman Mirko Vucinic says his country are under pressure to qualify for the European Championships for the first time.
After finishing narrowly behind England in the group stage the Montenegrins go into the two-legged tie as favourites to progress, despite their limited international pedigree.
And Vucinic, whose side's defensive prowess was the cornerstone of their progress to the play-offs, is seeking a stalemate at the Stadion Letna.
"It's normal because I'm not sure we'll be this close again. This is a special occasion - this is now or never for us," he said. "We must be ready for these two games like they are the last of our careers."
"A good result, for example, would be 1-1.
"The most important thing is to score. We have the capability up front to cause a lot of problems for the Czech defence."
Estonia v Republic or Ireland
Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane is aiming to bury the demons of the country's failed 2010 World Cup qualification bid, with victory over two-legs against Estonia.
Giovanni Trapatoni's side were beaten in controversial fashion by France in the play-off sof last year's World Cup, as Thierry Henry's handball broke Irish hearts.
And Keane, Ireland's record goalscorer, is keen to make amends.
"This is a great opportunity for everyone," he said.
"This may be the last opportunity for some of us and we have to grab it with both hands because we have worked so hard."
"Believe me, the players are desperate to qualify. It has been a pain not qualifying, especially the last World Cup," he added.
"Having gone so close to getting to South Africa, I couldn't watch the tournament when it came around.
"We can't let this chance slip away. I've played in a World Cup and it was one of the best experiences of my life, so it would mean everything to me to play at Euro 2012."

create cluster {--package=|-P }package_name
{--processhosts=|-R }process_host_list cluster_name
[--verbose | -v]
This command creates a cluster to be managed by the MySQL
Cluster Manager. However, it does not start the cluster (see
Section 4.4.6, "The
start cluster Command").
create cluster requires the following
package_name, supplied as the value of the
--packageoption (short form:
-P). This must be the name of a package previously registered using
add package.
A list (
process_host_list) of MySQL Cluster processes and the hosts on which they are to run, supplied as the value of the
--processhostsoption (short form:
-R), with list items separated by commas. As with other lists passed as option values in MySQL Cluster Manager commands, you must not use spaces before or after the commas.
Each item in the
process_host_listconsists of the name of a MySQL Cluster process joined with the name of the host on which it is located using an amphora (
@) sign (also sometimes know as the "at" sign). Permitted values for processes are
ndbd, and
mysqld. When the cluster employs MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 or later, you can also use
ndbmtdas process name. In other words, a valid process name is the name of a MySQL Cluster process daemon binary.
To support running your own NDB API applications with a cluster under MySQL Cluster Manager, it is also possible to use
ndbapias a process type. Such applications can be connected to a managed cluster. Currently, MySQL Cluster Manager recognises only that an NDB API application is connected to the cluster; the NDB API application itself must be started, stopped, and configured manually.
It is also possible to specify one or more "free"
ndbapiprocesses without any hosts. To do this, simply use the wildcard
*(asterisk character) in place of the hostname or IP address, as shown in the following table:
mysqldprocess or
ndbapiprocess that is specified without a host in this fashion is permitted to connect to the cluster from any host that can access the cluster over the network. Otherwise, the process may connect to the cluster only from the specified host.
By convention, items in the
process_host_listare listed according to the process type, in the following order:
Management node processes (
Data node processes (MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3:
ndbd; MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 and later:
SQL node processes (
Custom NDB API applications (
For information about writing your own NDB API applications, see The NDB API, in the MySQL Cluster API Developer Guide.
While the order in which the items are listed does not affect whether the
create clustercommand succeeds, we suggest that you follow this convention for readability, as well as compatibility with other MySQL Cluster management tools such as ndb_mgm.Note
create clustercauses cluster node IDs to be assigned consecutively, in the order that the nodes are specified in the
Each host referenced in the list must be part of the site for which the package used in
create clusteris defined.
For processes of types
ndbapi, the hostname is required, but not enforced in the running cluster. In other words, an
[api]section is created in the cluster
config.inifile, but no
HostNameparameter is specified; thus, the
ndbapican connect from any host. (Currently, there is no way using MySQL Cluster Manager to specify that a
ndbapiprocess is restricted to connecting from a single host.)
A name for the cluster. Once the cluster has been created, this name is used to refer to it in other cluster management commands such as
delete cluster,
start cluster, and
stop cluster. Like other object names used with MySQL Cluster Manager, the
cluster_namemust be valid according to the rules given elsewhere in this document for identifiers (see Chapter 4, MySQL Cluster Manager Client Commands).
An additional
--verbose option for this command
create cluster to output extra
information as it is executed, as shown later in this section.
Consider the following command issued in the MySQL Cluster Manager client, which
creates a cluster named
mcm> create cluster --package=mypackage
-> --processhosts=ndb_mgmd@flundra,ndbd@tonfisk,ndbd@grindval,mysqld@flundra
-> mycluster;
| Command result |
| Cluster created successfully |
1 row in set (7.71 sec)
As defined by the command just shown,
mycluster consists of four nodes: a
management node on host
flundra; two data
nodes—one on each of the hosts
grindval; and one SQL node, also on host
Using the
--verbose option causes the command
to print output similar to that produced by the
list processes command, as
shown here:
mcm> create cluster --verbose --package=mypackage
-> --processhosts=ndb_mgmd@flundra,ndbd@tonfisk,ndbd@grindval,mysqld@flundra
-> mycluster;
| NodeId | Name | Host |
| 49 | ndb_mgmd | flundra |
| 1 | ndbd | tonfisk |
| 2 | ndbd | grindval |
| 50 | mysqld | flundra |
4 rows in set (0.32 sec)
You can also create this cluster in such a way that the mysqld process is permitted to connect to the cluster from any host able to reach the other cluster hosts over the network as shown here:
mcm> create cluster --package=mypackage
-> --processhosts=ndb_mgmd@flundra,ndbd@tonfisk,ndbd@grindval,mysqld@*
-> mycluster;
| Command result |
| Cluster created successfully |
1 row in set (7.71 sec)
In the case of a "free"
process, it is not necessary to have the MySQL Cluster Manager software
installed on the host where the
process is running.
Configuration changes to the newly-created cluster can be made
using the
set command prior to
starting the cluster. This is often preferable to doing after
the cluster has been started, since
commands used to make configuration changes in a running cluster
can require a rolling restart, and rolling restarts of clusters
having many nodes or large quantities of data (or both) may take
a great deal of time to complete.
