Only 3 pairs: S, M, L
Really looking forward to hearing your feedback on how they sound with Trance, and how close the signature really is to CKS1000.
I'm really considering the Basso as my next purchase. The only thing that worries me is if the treble is sitting slightly on the sidelines, if thats the case then I will be going for the Tenores instead.
Wish I had tried that filter mod on the xba3's when I had them.
Re the DX210, it will be interesting to hear how they pair up with the ELE DAC and/or the C&C BH, both of which tend to do a bit of brightening. That might work well with the DX210's...
After a whopping 5 minutes, and out of the ELE DAC + E12, I can say that these Basso's are not even close to being repulsive. In fact, they are going to give my MT300's a run for their money! (just kidding about the MT300's - done for sfw's sake). Seriously, right out of the box and using the stock medium tips, I can tell that I am going to like these a lot - seem to be right up my alley signature-wise. And they are going to be perfect for my "mobile" iems because they are quite small and are very light. Thanks again dsnuts for the great find! Now if only mochill would send me over his v2's for some comparisons.. ;)
Edit: Wow - lots of bass with the stock tips - bassheads rejoice! I just switched to the auvio (wide bore) tips, and now the bass level is working better for me.
haven't listened to them for more than a few seconds to make sure they work.
but build quality is eh. No quick look left and right marker. Cable is definitely lacking. Tips run a little big even the small ones. Case is cool though which is a nice add on. Would rather them spend the money on a better cable though.
We'll see what they sound like tonight.
^ congrats ya'll keep us posted.
How do those bassos compared to your beloved CKS1Ks WAYNE???
I'll let the 'ol bassos burn in a bit, and experiment with some different tips, and then report back for sure. But putting the CKS1000's in your ears equates to king kong EPICness - hard to beat. But the bassos sound very good and will fulfill their mission nicely (somewhat similar to the BE's, although I'll have to actually check that out!).
haven't listened to them for more than a few seconds to make sure they work.

Hmm, I really wonder how the COR150 stick up to the Vsonic gr99 which has been my budget favourite for more than a year now. It's a shame they're not available on Ebay at a good price, I would really love to try them.
Budget iems need to be paired with my budget laptop rig.
Mids are decent. It has a good fullness to them.
Bass has good impact. Pretty controlled... doesn't go all over the place, but a tad too much quantity.
High's are definitely the weak point. Not harsh, easy to listen to but has no sparkle whatsoever. Definitely left me wanting more.
Extremely smooth signature, good for top 40 songs or whatever's popular on the radio, rap, hip-hop and some acoustic songs.
only has about 10 hours or so burn in. maybe it'll open up some more on top.
It handles layers pretty well for its price. Definitely better than the tdk eb-750 but that isn't saying much in itself.
Slightly behind the gr06 in handling layers. Mile's behind the BA iems in my inventory.
Sound stage is a little smaller than i was hoping for...decent width but subpar depth.
Although not to the same level of refinement as the BE's or the 1K's, the treble is bright enough without being sibilant, and sounds detailed and extended enough to me. Definitely not lost in the bass at all. And the mids are nicely neutral (ie not forward or recessed). Really, for $65 they are very worth it. But tenores or bassos.. that is the question for you lol.
Btw, as usual for me with wide bore tips (ie auvio's), I was finding the treble to be a bit bright. Not sibilant, but brighter than I prefer. And I started missing that bass lol! So I've switched back to the stock tips and for some reason, the bass is now not sounding overpowering. Maybe it was the track that I was listening to previously, or maybe my brain-burn is kicking in. At any rate, my point is that what I like in treble might not match what you are looking for. Do you have a particular track that you consider to be treble worthy? If so, it would be interesting for me to listen to it. Thanks.
Got some fake AKG K374 from Aliexpress and am baffled by the sound quality... I'm really curious where they got the drivers, because they're actually quality earphones. Is there any possibility that fake housings could contain the genuine drivers...?

Rush Closes 2012 Tour in Houston December 2
Photo By Groovehouse
Canadian rock behemoths Rush are set to close out their upcoming Clockwork Angels tour here in Houston December 2 at Toyota Center. The album, their first studio set since 2007's Snakes & Arrows, is due June 5 from Roadrunner Records.
The band's last Houston-area date was up at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in September 2010. They performed a few still-gestating tracks from Angels, in addition to their 1981 album Moving Pictures in its entirety.
The show was decidedly a multigenerational affair, with fans of all ages dotting the crowd.
Ticketing dates for this show are coming from Live Nation on Friday afternoon, so watch this space for updates. But as with most Toyota Center shows, tickets will be available at the usual outlets: livenation.com, toyotacentertix.com, "most" Houston-area Randalls stores and 1-866-4HOUTIX (446-8849). If you don't have any luck buying them, rest assured that the classic-rock stations in town will be blowing out handfuls of them, too.

Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic AMT Sock-it-to-Me Corvette MSP: real fiberglass decklid, Feb. 23Thanks for the interest and comments. Much appreciated.
Mr. Snake, one of the reasons I elected to do a 'glass deck on this is so I wouldn't have to be careful about saving the original. I can make you an f'glass replacement however...now that I have the mold.
Interesting to note: the shape of this decklid is entirely different from the shape of the Revell '62 Corvette deck, like they're from two completely different cars.
Once again, I just didn't realize measuring and dividing by 25 was so very very hard.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Can someone Id this car? It looks strange.I'd say it's about a '99 Suburban.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic AMT Sock-it-to-Me Corvette MSP: real fiberglass decklid, Feb. 23PLEASE REMEMBER TO CONTRIBUTE TO HARRY'S CANCER FUND. THE ADDRESS IS : https://www.gofundme.com/2pndgj5w
Years back, I developed a way to make near-scale-thickness fiberglass body panels. Since I want to open the deck on this thing to show the battery and rear frame detail, I elected to make a mold of the rear section of the car, and make a replacement deck from that...while other phases of the build are ongoing.
The material I use to give my parts sufficient strength is a specialized aircraft epoxy that has to be mixed on a gram-scale, and some extremely fine glass cloth.
Mold in place on the tail...
...and popped off...
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Another recaster alert! Page resins this time.I think in a lot of cases, the model companies just don't really care.
If they were making parts-packs with some of the more popular kitbashing stuff available, it would be one thing. Copying them and re-casting would be direct and unfair competition, where the re-caster had no development or high tooling costs and was taking a free-ish ride on the backs of the manufacturers.
But the manufacturers don't make single parts or complete engines or wheel-sets (etc.) readily available, and they probably don't feel like getting all hot and bothered trying to FORCE people to buy an entire kit to get a single part...which I often do anyway, by the way.
But when a re-caster appropriates the hard work of a single individual who has mastered (scratch-built the first original pattern) his own parts and made his own molds of same, and the re-caster copies original parts for resale, it's another thing entirely.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic I'am depressedYou're only as old as you feel. Some days I feel 18, and some days I feel 112.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Dr Crankys Rat Rod
I'd prefer to see spinning lawnmower blades...
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic "Orange Clunker Car" - MPC General LeeVery fine looking modifications and upgrades.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic What do YOU like about the MoPars?First American "big-three" manufacturer with a production "hemi" engine, "unibody" construction and torsion-bar front suspension. Most of their engines were pretty well bulletproof, and the 727 TorqueFlite is one of the all-time greatest transmissions in the known universe. Their early Virgil Exner space-ship styling was interesting too, to say the least, and some of my all-time-favorite show cars are the 1950s collaborations with Ghia...
And then there's the turbine cars...
Kinda hard to top this for pure class too...
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Dr Crankys Rat RodI know, they're only models...but bolting a 55 pound piece of useless dead metal to the front of a real car, out in front of the axle, only serves to make it understeer worse and go slower.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Recaster AlertPart of the problem is cultural. The notion of "copyright" is really considered to be mean and old-fashioned by many (in the minority who have even HEARD of it) owing to the widespread ripping and copying of music and video files with no payment.
The idea that an artist's work should be freely available to everyone has somehow invaded the minds of those who don't make anything original, and many of them just don't get it.
Part of it is ignorance of the whole idea that it's wrong to copy someone else's work for resale. It may be hard to believe, but it just never occurs to some of these clowns...and these are the ones who actually believe that once you buy a part, it's yours to do whatever you want with, including copying and selling copies.
Then there's plain old stupid. I actually had one fool get really angry with me, threatening to sue, after he bought a carp quality ripoff of one of my body kits, warped out of shape and made WAY too thick out of bottom-of-the-barrel resin, heavy and brittle. He actually screamed that because I had designed and made the originals, I should be responsible for making sure all the copies anywhere in the universe were made correctly...even the unauthorized copies that I made zero money on.
And don't forget cheapness. A lot of people JUST DON'T CARE if they're getting an original or a copy, as long as it doesn't cost much.
Those of you who produce ORIGINAL work need to seriously look into copyright law, and at the very least, include a little slip of paper in with your parts explaining that IT IS ILLEGAL TO COPY THEM WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION.
If you sell direct, you also need to get your customers to tick a box stating specifically that they will NOT copy them, and they know it's illegal to do so. This constitutes a legally binding contract, and though you'd STILL have to spend money to shut violators down, forcing buyers to acknowledge their awareness of the situation at least keeps the basically honest people honest.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic What Pleased You Today!I have a Chevy and a GMC of similar vintages, and as you say, they're exactly the same truck. Were then, still are for the most part, except for badging, trim and a few options.
Sometimes it's just amazing the erroneous conclusions people can come up with.
In times past, GMC vehicles could be a little more different from their Chevy brethren. The big 'ol GMC inline 6. though it looked very much like the smaller displacement Chevy engine, was actually an entirely different piece, bigger externally as well as internally, and longer overall. GMC also sourced V8 engines from Pontiac before going all Chevy corporate.
PS. Not being in sales myself, I long ago abandoned any pretext that "the customer is always right".
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Recaster AlertOver the years I've made several lines of one-off full-scale aftermarket fiberglass parts for real cars (mostly Porsches, Datsun Z-cars and fairly recently some tuners and Fieros). I did all the design work, the full-scale model work, the mold work, and the production.
These things sold on average for several hundred dollars, and often, shortly after MY parts hit the market, I started seeing cheap knockoffs that were poor quality.
I countered by laminating my own business card (with a secret little trick) under clear resin on the back side of my own parts...difficult for the average slop-jockey knockoff jerk to copy.
This didn't stop the ripoffs, but it DID shut up the bozos who called me saying they'd bought my parts and they were carp.
No laminated card, it just ain't mine. Next time, buy it from ME.
Ace-Garageguy added a post in a topic Is it just me, or has the site slowed down again?And AGAIN, just now.
I tried to post the offending few lines HERE in THIS thread, and STILL got the 404 BS.
No bad words, no communist subversive messages, no non-PC remarks, no secret codes...just refusing to take a simple few-line response.
So...there's something in the response that's triggering the 404 message. How truly odd.

It emerged also that there has been an increase in complaints about officers using the American-style batons. The Police Complaints Authority, which has expressed concern over the lack of training, believes officers are more willing to use the modern weapons than the old-style truncheons because they are more effective.
The comments follow a verdict of "misadventure" by nine of the 11 jury members at the inquest of Brian Douglas, 33, who died in police custody last May. Family and friends of Douglas were described as "distraught" after the decision at Southwark Crown Court in London. They pledged to fight the verdict.
Police said Douglas's death was a tragedy, but added that the introduction of the baton had helped to reduce serious injuries to officers.
Douglas sustained fatal head injuries after being stopped in his car for alleged bad driving in Clapham, south London.
Two police officers, Pc Mark Tuffey and Pc Paul Harrison, said Pc Tuffey had used the baton in self-defence, because Douglas had possessed a canister of CS gas and a knife. Douglas, the first person whose death was linked to the new baton, suffered "massive and irreversible" brain damage and died in hospital five days later.
Pc Tuffey told the inquest he had aimed a blow at Douglas's upper arm, but it slid over his shoulder and hit his neck.
Several eyewitnesses told the inquest they had seen the officer strike a downward blow to Douglas's head. Three pathologists gave evidence that the fatal blow had been to the back, right-hand side of the head.
At the end of the three-week hearing, Sir Montague said: "There is a need for all officers who have been trained to use a baton to be taught the specific dangers, the after-effects and potential signs and symptoms that can follow a baton blow to the head." He urged police to tighten procedures for identifying injured people in custody after Douglas spent several hours in a police cell before being taken to hospital.
More than 20,000 Metropolitan Police officers are armed with 22in, 24in and 26in acrylic batons, which were introduced in November 1994.
The Metropolitan Police said they would consider the issue of training in the next few weeks.
Donald Douglas, Brian's brother, said the family was considering a private prosecution and a judicial review.

Oscar tank size?
i have a 20 gallon tank with a 4in brown ghost knife which just hides in a pvc pipe all day. i want to put a 2.5in oscar in the tank. how long can the oscar live in the tank before it is too large and will require a larger tank?
also i have a 55 gallon tank with 3 clown loaches, 2 silver dollars, 2 platys, 2 pictus catfishes, 1 striped rafael catfish, 1 molly, and 1 dwarf gurami all under 4in. would i be able to put the oscar in that tank when it becomes too large for the 20 gallon?
You will eventually need a bigger tank for the Knife as well. The Oscar should be ok for a few months in the 20G, as long as you are good at waterchanges. When it hits around 4", you can put him and possibly the Knife in the 55G. Both will eventualyl need at least a 75G+ tank with great filtration, however.
Actually, I think the 55g is a good permanent home for the knife. Ghost knives can top out at 16-20", but African knives only get to be 6 or so inches (8" max). But yes, the oscar will eventually need a 75g or bigger.
An Oscar will outgrow a 20 gallon tank in about 3-6 months, depending on what their fed. Oscars are extremely fast growing fish.

ZR1 & ZL1 Launch Control & NO LIFT Shift - How To & RACE
How to & Demo of GM's Launch Control & No Lift Shift in a ZR1 Corvette and the ZL1 Camaro. We tested out the capabilities of the GM launch control & no lift shift on a modded ZR1 (15lbs pullies & full Exhaust) and a stock ZL1 Camaro a while back and wanted to show you how it performed. In the end, the launch control was fairly useless on the ZR1 because it needs some better tires for the power it has, but the no lift shift was a blast, especially when it came to the sound! We hadn't seen a how-to video that explained it that well, so we decided to make our own! Enjoy!

Honorable Ghali Na'Abba has called for proper investigation of the budget padding rocking the National Assembly.
Na'Abba made the call at a workshop organized by Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) in Kano.
He said it was impossible for the budget to be padded without the connivance of government officials.
"According to my understanding, padding comes into play where some members go behind and add items of expenditure to what has already been agreed upon.
"For either stealing the funds or doing whatever they feel like doing with it.
"So far, accusations are being traded among members of the house, but no investigation has been conducted.
Read Also: NASS must return part of their salaries — Falana
"On the call for the resignation of the Speaker, the question is, what has the Speaker done to warrant his resignation?
"He called for full investigation to ascertain the level of involvement of members of the House mentioned in the allegation before calling on anyone to resign.
"I expect that for 16 years of return to democracy, Nigerians would have understood the responsibilities of the National Assembly.
"For some weeks now, there has been controversy over what is called padding.
"As far as I am concerned, the National Assembly has the responsibility to pass the budget, approve it and allow the executive arm to execute it.
Read also: How NASS removed budget meant for SE.
"This stealing of funds cannot be possible without active connivance with some members of the executive arm.
"If padding is seen as an offence, then it is when some members of the national assembly decide to add items of expenditure through the back door after the bill has been passed by the two legislative arms.
"It therefore behooves on Nigerians to decide who represent them in the national assembly, "Na'Aba said.
Na'Abba was a onetime speaker of the Federal of Representatives.
During his leadership, the House or Representative had a protracted war with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

This won't block unless this impacts the on device implementation. We can fix off device issues separately from basecamp.
It's a marketplace v1.0 blocker though.
Very late r+ on cvan's fix.
Sorry, the thread was far down my email list.
We may want to ping the Persona folks about this state to make sure that we're not introducing a potential exploit. I understand that there's a different issuer, and that we're forcing it, but we may want to make sure that we secure against someone using an arbitrary issuer to spoof the connect.
Then again, I tend to be overly paranoid.

Jim Furyk isn't really concerned with the fact that his last bogey came on the fourth hole on Thursday. He isn't even concerned that since that time, he's rattled off 16 birdies. Or by the fact that he's one-putt 24 times.
He isn't awed by his prowess at hitting fairways, where he's tied for third with a percentage just below 80, or greens, where he leads the field after finding 45 of 54.
All he cares about is that he's leading.
"It's really not important," said the 44-year-old of his bogey-free run. "I know it's something that the media outside wanted to talk about. What is important is I'm 15-under and if that was with 25 birdies and 10 bogeys or 16 birdies and one bogey, it's really not that important. I would take another 65 tomorrow with as many bogeys as can be on the card."
Furyk is a guy who truly amazes me. Not because of his wonky swing that was once described by David Feherty as looking like an octopus falling out of a tree. That swing is so bullet-proof to me. It just works over and over.
Rather, he amazes me with his smarts, his insight, his attention to detail. It's as unique as his swing.
Last week, after he finished up at Royal Liverpool, I asked him what he remembered about Royal Montreal. He told me old-school golf course with modern greens and then went into a little more detail about the Dick Wilson design that was re-modeled by Rees Jones before the 2007 Presidents Cup.
I can't remember what I had for breakfast and he gave me a pretty good synopsis of a course he hadn't seen in seven years.
That, to me, is Jim Furyk.
He's a guy who listens to your question, thinks about a response and then gives you something great. Almost every time. He doesn't really have a cliché in his body, I suspect.
I remember after he stumbled down the stretch at the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club two years ago. The tournament was his to win until he messed up the 16th holes. He took full responsibility - in fact, his exact quote was: "I have no one to blame but myself."
You don't hear that too often out here. It's usually about the wind gusting a shot or a bump in the greens throwing a putt off line or a camera or a noisy butterfly landing a hole away.
I digress.
Today, Furyk goes to the first tee in control of the tournament. He leads by three and you know he already has a game plan formulated for Royal Montreal. He told us he's going to check the weather out tonight. Not just the rain and storms expected but also the wind. Yup, the wind direction, which will affect his game plan.
And he'll take a load of experience too. No one in the field has been in the position he's in more than him. Sometimes he wins, more often he's lost - that's just the nature of golf. He's had a share of the lead heading to the final round 25 times in his career and he's won 10 times.
"You know, I think it's always nice to have experience in rounds," he said. "Whether I've played well, whether you've won or ended up not winning the golf tournament, you draw from both experiences. The guys out here have played so well for three days already, everyone is capable."
Perhaps the only question mark on his docket is the fact he hasn't won since 2010. He's had a number of chances - including a couple of runner-up finishes this year - but never closed things out.
"Sometimes I just got outplayed," he said. "Case in point would be Jason Dufner at the PGA last year. Other times I felt like I got in my own way and that would be Akron and Keegan Bradley and not closing it out when I had the opportunity."
Sunday Furyk can join some select company if he does win. Just three players have three wins in the Open, but it's a pretty good lineup: Tommy Armour, Sam Snead and Lee Trevino. Only one has more, that would be Leo Diegel with four.
He's also be the third oldest golfer to win the national championship behind Mark Calcavecchia and Bob Tway.
Right now, based on his play through the first three rounds, it would be hard to imagine Furyk losing, but as he knows only too well, funny stuff happens in golf. There's no sure thing, no guarantees. The only thing certain is that Furyk will step up to the first tee, and set out towards what he hopes will be 17th PGA Tour victory.
Not bad for a guy with a swing that won't be in any text book.

Customer Reviews
SLP Love!
I don't usually write reviews however this app is saving me a tremendous amount of time. It isn't perfect when it's grabbing text but the small errors that it makes in the greater scheme of things are inconsequential compared to the amount of time that it's saving me. I can email the text to myself pasted into a word document get an accurate word count, create a vocabulary list, look for words that have my targeted articulation sounds the list goes on.
Awesome App
This is an awesome OCR app. It is one of the best apps I have downloaded on my phone. It is very dependable. Not one time have it shut down on me while working. I was using it to my benefit and it did not fail. Easier to work with than my multifunctional printer. I have had the app on my phone for some time but never really used it until now.
Great + one suggestion
Very handy. Text recognition is good/excellent
My suggestion: It doesn't recognize paragraphs so lines of the same para are broken by a line break. Result: painful work to find each line break and backspace = waste of time.
I would suggest adding possibility to reconstitute paragraphs. I.e. Replace a paragraph mark that is followed by a lower case with a space.
Anyway, great app

From pariah to contender -- America is no longer reviled in the soccer world, but we are still chasing complete acceptance, and the 2010 World Cup will decide the future of soccer in America and the country's standing among the world's soccer nations.
Significant strides have been made in recent years: America's male soccer players are no longer subject to regular derision by the world's soccer powers; Team USA advanced to the quarter final in the 2002 World Cup, defeated only by future finalist and soccer powerhouse Germany; and perhaps best of all, our national squad surprised everyone in 2009 by defeating the world's number one Spain and falling to mighty Brazil in the Confederations Cup final after leading 2 - 0 at halftime. But this momentum means little, because in the global and the American arena of the soccer world, it is only the World Cup that really matters.
So, here we are at a critical juncture for the future of soccer in America and the game's broader cultural significance beyond its currently well-established place of being an appreciated recreational activity for millions of youngsters. Much will depend on the American players' ability to advance deep in the world's most watched sports event (2 billion people watched the final game in 2006). Success at the World Cup will capture the imagination of soccer fans and thus enhance the American game's legitimacy both here and abroad.
Attaining this will have a number of beneficial implications each of which would be important by itself. But as a package, the long-term results of such a positive outcome might truly become a game changer on many an important level of quotidian lives.
First, there would develop a much greater interdependence between the current state of soccer in America which consists of its being a prolific physical activity for millions of youngsters and a continued marginal interest in the game by the general public. The two have to emerge symbiotically for any sport's meaningful cultural presence in any society.
Second, by having soccer's cultural salience grow in the United States, Americans would become fluent soccer speakers as it were, thus sharing a global language that much of the rest of the world has come to master. In our growing interdependent world, fluency in such a globally dominant means of communication has led to a marked cultural openness and cosmopolitanism in which Americans deserve to participate more vigorously. Being fully conversant with soccer by furnishing one of its successful representatives, the United States would enter yet another arena in which the exigencies of our globalization will undoubtedly increase over the next few decades.
While "speaking soccer" on a daily basis and boasting some of its finest practitioners in the world will not in and of itself make America's role in this globalized world any easier and less contested, it surely would not be to the country's detriment in any way tying it to an international order that has become completely irreversible.

Susan Feniger, Star of the Emmys
on September 21st, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
If you were looking for Susan Feniger last night, she was nowhere near her restaurants (STREET, Border Grill, Ciudad). She was too busy cooking for 1,000 guests at CBS Television Entertainment Tonight's Emmy Awards Party downtown at Vibiana—a former church now transformed into an elegant event venue.
Her worldwide cuisine was offered at four different buffets, each with a geographical theme, with more selections passed on trays such as Japanese shizo shrimp, Moldavian meatballs, and Indian semolina cakes.
Feniger's food was so different from what caterers usually present, that it made the evening that much more stellar.
And the Legend Continues

By Sophie Gayot
A recent dinner at The Polo Lounge, a Beverly Hills legendary restaurant, made us rediscover the dining room of The Beverly Hills Hotel. Chef Alex Chen and pastry chef Jean-François Suteau prepared a very elegant dinner that raised our rating of the restaurant an additional point (from 15/20 to 16/20), which put it on our Los Angeles Top 10 Food Rating list.
Besides the Los Angeles Classic Restaurant Top 10, it also cracked the Los Angeles Top 10 for celebrity-spotting and Los Angeles Top 10 French Restaurants list. The Polo Lounge will be a good replacement option when the Bel-Air Hotel closes its doors at the end of the month for its two-year-long renovation.
The restaurant is our Los Angeles Review of the Week. You can enjoy the dinner in pictures below.

Before I sit down at my computer to write the full review of La Cachette Bistro, I want to share with you, right away, my dinner there last night in our blog section—view it in the pictures below.
After many years of offering fine dining at La Cachette in Century City, chef Jean-François Meteigner is now doing "bistro" cuisine in Santa Monica.
Both the food and décor, whether enjoyed inside or on the patio, will surely attract diners.
A Turnaround at BondSt Beverly Hills
on September 10th, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
After two very unpleasant dinners foodwise, I decided to give BondSt Beverly Hills another chance. The result was a definite gourmet treat.
The décor and the service were unchanged, but right after the first course, it was obvious that there was somebody new in the kitchen; someone talented, very talented.
Young chef Brian Redzikowski, who hails from Le Cirque, Alain Ducasse, Nobu and Robuchon, has infused his talent and expertise to the place. He has completely turned around the cuisine, and serves smart and elegant dishes, (see pictures below).
Whoever found Redzikowski and trusted him to become a chef with his own kitchen should be proud of this discovery.

Wine for a Good "Koz"

By Jeff Hoyt
Saxophonist Dave Koz is used to seeing his name in lights, but now he can see it on wine labels. The six-time Grammy nominee took the time before his concert yesterday at the Hollywood Bowl to introduce his latest venture: wine.
Three different grape varietals of KOZ Wine – Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, a Rhone style El Dorado "Red Alto" Blend, and, our favorite, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, are now on sale at Southern California Whole Foods Markets, and the musician will be making appearances to meet fans and sign bottles.

A Sparkling Pear Libation
on August 21st, 2009Print This Post
By Sylvie Greil
Greetings from Southern Germany, where we had the pleasure of sampling a smooth, delicious "Pear Champagne."
Reminiscent of a mild, moussey cider, its fine pearly bubbles play delicately on the tongue. Vintner Jörg Geiger originally labeled his libation Pear Champagne—until he got word from France that he better quickly change it to Birnenschaumwein (or pear bubbly), since, as everyone knows, Champagne can only come from, well, Champagne.
This particular sparkler centers around a fruit that has been used since 1760: Champagnerbratbirne, loosely translated as "Baked Champagne Pear," or a pear that bakes well. It has garnered distinction from Slow Food Germany. www.manufaktur-joerg-geiger.de/

I am pleased to introduce the "Gayot Dinner Series" which will be held at some of the finest restaurants in the Los Angeles area.
The Gayot's are quite honored that celebrity chef Kerry Simon will be the first chef to participate. He will be cooking the first two dinners of the "Gayot Dinner Series," which will be presented in his Los Angeles restaurant, Simon L.A., located in the Sofitel Los Angeles on September 10th and 11th.
Simon L.A. is one of our Los Angeles Top 10 American Restaurants, and has one of our Top 10 Chef's Tables and Top 10 Lounges.
I will also be there both evenings to talk about the dishes with the guests. We are still fine-tuning the menu, but diners will be able to enjoy Maine lobster, organic corn tortellini, Simon Prime Beef Strip and more of Kerry Simon's creative dishes, for the unbelievable price of just $48 per person.
You can make reservations by calling 310-358-3979. I hope to see you there!
Dine with the Pacific

Every week, we at GAYOT.com select a restaurant to be highlighted as our Review of the Week in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
This week, after my dinner at the signature restaurant of the new Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, I chose mar'sel for a few reasons.
Of course, the main one is the California cuisine of chef Michael Fiorelli. It is obvious that he uses very fresh ingredients—he even has fresh hearts of palm for the salads stored in the fridge. But, I also made the choice because of the prime location of the restaurant, which features a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean.
The restaurant also made our Los Angeles Top 10 Romantic Restaurants and Top 10 View lists.

Anecdotes and recipes fill Good Spirits by A. J. Rathbun, including Eden; Rock and Rye; Americano; The Sazerac; and Strega.
Doesn't the room go a little hushed when the 6-foot 8-inch, eagle-emblazoned, leather-jacket-wearing, tattoo-boasting, steel-toe-booted, walking danger of a person meets the bar and spits out, "Rock and Rye"? If only the bar denizens realized that a true Rock and Rye must have rock candy in it, maybe they'd stop the quivering that's about to spill their drinks.
1. Fill an old-fashioned or a similar-sized glass with ice cubes. Add the rye and the lemon juice. Stir once.
2. Add the rock candy, propping it somewhat up on the ice (you want the drinker to be allowed to dunk the candy if he or she wants)
A Note: When purchasing the rack condy, it's not a bad idea to seek out the kind an a stick. The nan-stick kind works, but con get just a little messy.
Another Note: If desired, the Rock and Rye con be shaken, strained, and served in a cocktail glass.

Tips for Effective Co-Parenting with Your Ex
By Donald Swanson
Unfortunately, you and your spouse got divorced recently. Maybe you're actually feeling happier these days, or perhaps you are craving for what once was. In any case, you have the children to think about. It might be easier to do everything by yourself and leave your ex out of any decisions, but co-parenting is often what's best for the children.
The Blame Game
You want your children to have respect for you and listen to the rules in your house, right? Well, that's not likely to happen if your ex is talking poorly about you behind your back. If you sense that's happening, you'll need to have a little chat with him or her. On the other side of the coin, you need to avoid speaking negatively about your ex in front of your children too. You wouldn't want karma to come after you now, would you?
Ground Rules
It's likely that your children might have a bedtime that's slightly earlier or later at your ex's house. Ultimately, there are some battles that are not worth fighting. However, in certain situations, the two of you need to be in agreement. For example, the arrangement is not going to work if you both have different rules regarding dating, staying over friends' houses or going in the car with other teenage drivers. When it comes to more serious situations, you're going to have to find ways to compromise.
Perhaps the reason why you got divorced in the first place was because no communication existed in your relationship. As a result, it's going to be really hard to communicate once you have divorced. You simply have to though. Let's say that there is an ongoing problem at school with your son. His father sees him only on the weekends, so he has no idea about it. You need to let him know. There could be issues going on at his father's house that are contributing to the problem, or his father might have an idea as to how it can be fixed.
Try not to make every single dance recital and soccer game a competition over who is going to attend. In the beginning, it might be rough to have to be in the same room as him or her. It's also likely that you're never going to be sitting right next to each other or strolling in arm and arm. However, that doesn't mean that civility goes right out the window. Attend the events when you're able to make regardless of whether or not your spouse is going. Some people even find themselves attending such events with their new spouses because they have learned how to avoid awkwardness.
Co-parenting isn't easy; we aren't going to sugarcoat it. As you go on though, you'll find that it does become easier as you progress. Remember how much your children are going to benefit from seeing that people can work together and from having you both in their lives.

How did you get started in this field?
Right after getting my architecture degree, I read about the designer Miles Redd in a magazine. I was so blown away by his bold aesthetic and everything he'd accomplished by the age of 35 that I wrote him a letter asking for a meeting. Two weeks later, I had my first full-time job, as his assistant. It was fate!
What's one quick change that will improve any room?
Lower the artwork. People tend to hang it too high; it should be at eye level. And don't worry about having something on each wall. It's better to cluster art in one or two spots than to spread it out.
Decorating a huge room can be intimidating. How do you deal with soaring spaces?
My philosophy is to fill them with large-scale furniture and art. If you're a less-is-more type, go for one massive piece, like an amazing painting over the sofa.
Suppose you can't afford art that big?
Buy a blank canvas and paint it yourself. Pick the most interesting color in the room (as long as it's not already the dominant color) and just cover the canvas in that shade, using the same paint you'd use for walls. There's no way to mess this up, and it costs next to nothing. Google [famed abstract artist] Ellsworth Kelly for inspiration. He has pieces like this hanging in the Whitney Museum.

FIBO for schema.org
An extension to schema.org based on Financial Industry Business Ontology
The Schema.org financial extension aligned with the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBOTM) is a project initiated by the EDM Council in 2015.
The main objective of the project is to create a financial extension of the schema.org vocabulary on the basis of expert knowledge and know-how of members of the FIBO Content Team involved in creating the Financial Industry Business Ontology.
The project has been divided into three steps:
Step one consists in a proposal of a limited core vocabulary for schema.org, containing the majority of basic terms used in descriptions of financial products.
Step two will be a proposal for a fibo.schema.org "hosted extension", containing more advanced and precise terms, aligned with the Financial Industry Business Ontology.
Step three will be the creation of an external extension (e.g. schema.fibo.org) that will ensure complete alignment with FIBO.
MakoLab SA has been engaged by the EDM Council for technical development of the extensions. Principals on the Team are Mirek Sopek, Richard Wallis and Martin Hepp, working under the direction of FIBO Project Manager, Dennis Wisnosky and David Newman, Strategic Planning Manager, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Architecture and IT Strategy, Wells Fargo (and Chair EDM Council FIBO Initiative).
A public working platform, with the goal to support the creation of these extensions and enable relevant discussions, is running as a W3C Community Group at https://www.w3.org/community/fibo/

The myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is a well characterized CNS myelin protein, which constitutes 50% of the myelin membrane (Eng et al. 1968;Norton and Poduslo, 1973). However, it is expressed also in embryos, neurons and other nonmyelinating cells. Why is this? The current studies focus on the hypothesis that this protein has an additional role that impacts signaling in cells. We hypothesize that PLP interacts with integrins and neurotransmitter receptors, and thereby modulates a series of events in developing brain as well as in the mature brain. This hypothesis derives from studies supported by this grant during the past funding period, in which we demonstrated a direct interaction of PLP with v integrin and the formation of a complex of PLP with av integrin and neurotransmitter receptors in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, which modulates their interaction with the extracellular matrix (Gudz et al. 2002;2006). In the proposed studies, we will test the hypothesis that PLP interaction with integrins and neurotransmitter receptors in embryonic and early postnatal development modulates oligodendrocyte and neuron development. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we will pursue the following aims.
In aim 1, we will identify the proteins in the PLP signaling complex and the signaling pathways involved.
In aim 2, we will investigate the role of the specific proteins in the PLP/integrin/ neurotransmitter receptor complex that mediates oligodendrocyte progenitor cell migration in cultured oligodendrocytes.
In aim 3, we will investigate the role of the specific proteins in the PLP/integrin/neurotransmitter receptor modulation of neuron and oligodendrocyte progenitor cell migration in vivo. We will analyze Plp-null, v integrin null and GluR2-null mice, after crossing our Plp-Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) transgene into them. For some studies we will analyze a conditional knockout mouse that selectively ablates the av integrin in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the developing brain. In the final aim, we will analyze the consequences of these null mutations for migration of neurons and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in cerebellum, optic nerve and embryonic telencephalon, using real time imaging.
The myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) makes up 50% of the protein in the myelin membrane in the central nervous system. However, it is also expressed in embryos, neurons and other nonmyelinating cells. The current studies investigate the hypothesis that in addition to its apparent structural role in myelin, this protein is also involved in cell signaling, which influences how the oligodendrocyte progenitors and immature neurons migrate in the developing nervous system. We have published studies that demonstrate that PLP interacts with integrins, which are cell surface proteins that influence cell-cell and cell-substrate contact. PLP also interacts with neurotransmitter receptors on the surface of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, which respond to neurotransmitters. The presence of neurotransmitters in the developing nervous system may influence both oligodendrocytes and neurons as they develop, and the fact the PLP and integrins and neurotransmitter receptors interact and change the way the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells migrate is important for normal brain development. In order to investigate our hypothesis, we will pursue the following studies. We will identify other proteins that are involved in this complex and investigate the signaling pathways that these proteins use to modulate oligodendrocyte progenitor cell and immature neuron migration. We will delete PLP, integrin or the neurotransmitter receptor from oligodendrocytes, and investigate how this impacts oligodendrocyte progenitor migration in culture. We will then study animals that have had these proteins selectively deleted, to learn how oligodendrocyte progenitor cells or immature neurons migrate in the developing nervous system, in embryos, in the developing cerebellum and in the developing optic nerve. These studies will have impact for a number of developmental human diseases and will provide insight into how to induce remyelination in adults, in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
