Thai cuisine is really better described as four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country. The cooking of Thailand has been influenced by China and India while maintaining a unique taste of its own. Like Vietnamese food, Thai food uses fresh (rather than dried) herbs and spices as well as the ingredient found in almost all Thai dishes and every region of the country: nam pla, a very aromatic and strong tasting fish sauce.
Indispensable with satay, this sauce also works as a nice dip for a number of other Asian appetizers (like cold spring rolls) and all kinds of grilled meats. Thinned out with some water, it makes a beautiful salad dressing for sprout salads, like the Indonesian gado-gado. The peanuts that this recipe calls for are widely available. The red curry paste is imported from Thailand. Maesri, Wandee's favorite brand of red curry paste, comes in 4-oz tins. You'll need half a tin per recipe and you can bag and freeze the rest for future use.
Serves 4 or more
5 oz roasted unsalted peanuts
4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
2 tbsp red curry paste
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 tsp fish sauce
1. Blend or process the peanuts until they are fine meal. Reserve.
2. Heat half the coconut milk in a saucepan at high heat and add the red curry paste. Stir to dissolve and continue cooking at high heat for 10-12 minutes, until the oil from the coconut has risen to the surface.
3. Lower heat to medium-high and add processed peanuts. Stir and add the rest of the coconut milk. Bring to bubbling boil. Lower heat to medium and add sugar, lemon juice and fish sauce, Cook, stirring accasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened somewhat and the oil has returned to the surface.
4. Take off the fire and let rest for a half hour. Stir to blend oil that has nsen to the surface. It should be the consistency of thick cream. If thlcker than thatj add a couple of tablespoons of water or coconut milk and blend.
5. The sauce can be served lukewarm or reheated to piping hot. Leftover sauce can be refrigerated (where it will solidify) and then reheated on a slow fire, thinned down with some water or coconut milk. It can also be frozen, and reheated another day, the same way.

Hedy Weiss takes on the Modern Wing - After the Trib and Blair Kamin did their mega-piece last Sunday. This week it's the Sun-Times' turn, complete with floorplans and many quotes from architect Renzo Piano, including, "In some ways Chicago invented modern architecture as we know it." Quick: get this man to Bob Somol for deprogramming!
OWP/P gets Cannonized - Crain's reports on how, only months after its big 50th birthday anniversary, the venerable Chicago architectural firm has been acquired by New York based Cannon Design.
Chicago Design Matters? - Crain's also reported this week that Studio/Gang, Krueck and Sexton and DeStefano + Partners have joined forces to market themselves globally, with an emphasis on what were, until recently, the boom economies of China, India and the Middle East.

The Real New Economy
E-business really does deliver value and profit.As journalists, were card-carrying skeptics. so when theres a new bit of conventional wisdom in the land, we instinctively want to investigate. Right now, the lemmings are legion when it comes to e-business. The new economy was an illusion, were told; there is no worthwhile business involving the Internet; and promises of profits from IT investments are not to be believed. Its too bad that the splatter caused by the explosion of the dot-com bubble has blinded so many to reality. In this light, some facts seem particularly interesting. eBay, once scorned by some as little more than a Web-ified yard sale, continues to return a healthy profit and earlier this month spent some of its earnings to buy PayPal. With the addition of PayPal, eBay will be able to give its customers a more satisfying experience and could even vault itself into the position of "tollbooth" of the information superhighwaya role that many erstwhile dot-com juggernauts dreamed about in vain.
Then theres Yahoo, whose stock price is down from speculative highs but which has broken into the black. And lets not forget the privately held Google, whose name is becoming identified with "search" in the way that Kleenex describes "tissue" and Coke describes "cola."

Former world number three Ivan Ljubicic has announced he will retire from tennis next month following the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
The Croatian, who turns 33 this month, was a fixture in the top 10 between 2005 and 2007, reaching his career high in August 2006, the same year he made the semi-finals at the French Open, his best grand slam performance.
Ljubicic helped Croatia win the Davis Cup in 2005 and won 10 ATP World Tour titles, with his biggest coming in surprising fashion at the Indian Wells Masters in 2010, when he beat both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
Explaining his decision, the world number 40 said on http://www.atpworldtour.com: "It's never an easy decision for any professional athlete to retire.
"I look forward to the next stage of my life. Tennis has given me so much and I want to continue to stay involved and contribute in some ways."
Ljubicic has been involved in the administrative side of the sport since 2002, serving on the Player Council until 2008 when he was elected onto the board of directors.
Roger Federer paid tribute to Ljubicic, saying: "He's been a wonderful friend to me on tour, and he's also been very beneficial to the game of tennis, not just on the court but off the court because he's been part of the political system here.
"He has a great future ahead in tennis or whatever he wants to do, because he's a bright man and he's a great person. It's sad seeing him go, but he's had a wonderful career and I can only congratulate him for that."

Prediabetes and Your Love Life
Heed health warnings to keep intimacy alive.
By Janis Roszler, MSFT, RD, CDE, LD/N
When Carrie got the news, she was thrilled: "Hurray, I'm safe! I don't have diabetes!" True, her blood glucose was not in the diabetes range, but it was higher than normal. According to her doctor, she had prediabetes. Carrie, who has a family history of type 2 diabetes, believed she had dodged a bullet because she didn't have "real" diabetes. But there was still plenty of work to do. Her doctor had urged her to eat healthier, move more, and lose some weight to avoid or hopefully delay getting diabetes. She was pleased to hear this, and figured that she would get around to doing some of the changes in a few months or so.
So, what does love have to do with this?
According to the American Diabetes Association, prediabetes prompts several good reasons why Carrie should follow her doctor's advice sooner rather than later. One of these reasons has to do with her love life. During the prediabetes period, changes may happen to the body that impact a person's ability to enjoy intimacy.
To have a healthy sexual response, everyone needs energy, good blood flow, and healthy nerve communication. When people have prediabetes, their blood glucose (sugar) level climbs above normal and may start to damage the heart, circulatory system, and nerves as well as other parts of the body. When your glucose level is elevated, some glucose remains in the blood stream instead of making its way to cells to supply them with energy. Bedroom activities are a form of exercise – you need available energy to participate fully.
When blood flow is slowed or impeded in any way, men may have more difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection and women may not get enough blood flow to the pelvic area to respond appropriately to sexual stimulation. If nerve damage interferes with the brain's ability to send and receive messages, it becomes more difficult to respond physically to a sexually stimulating event. The good news is that doctors already know what to do if you have prediabetes. Many of these issues can be reversed if you take your prediabetes diagnosis seriously and make the recommended lifestyle changes to help preserve or possibly regain your sexual response, if negative changes have already occurred.
If you are like Carrie and believe all is well because you don't have "real" diabetes, please reconsider. You may not see your doctor for a while and aren't in any immediate danger, but now is the time to make these changes. Think of your prediabetes condition as a loving warning that provides you with time to make real improvement in your life. If the threat of a future diabetes diagnosis doesn't motivate you to employ the usual methods of treatment for prediabetes — lose some weight, become more active, and make healthier food choices — consider how much you value your intimate life and take the recommended steps to keep your bedroom life healthy and fun.

Super stoked!
Emailing a few barns in Gainesville about possible boarding and work. Moving so soon! By the end of the summer! Already know where we're going to live, know where I'm going to school (college), and am just ecstatic! :D
Going up next Thursday (the 6th), figuring out some school stuff and visiting two barns.
By the way, anyone know of any good, affordable barns for me to check out? I can only board somewhere where I can at least work off some of the board, and ideally I'm trying to find one where I can work off all of it, or at least the majority.
Thanks in advance, and I can't wait!
Just wanted to say good luck on finding the right barn!

Due to its central role in both evolutionary change and human disease, mutation has been the focus of intensive research. The probability that a spontaneous mutation will occur and its impact on fitness are parameters of central importance for making predictions in evolutionary biology. However, estimates of these parameters are difficult to make, and exist only for a handful of taxonomically-restricted eukaryotic species. Here we introduce a new experimental system for elucidating these mutational parameters: the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. T. thermophila has some unusual features that make it particularly well-suited to studying spontaneous mutations. Crucially, the sequestration of a transcriptionally-inactive germline genome, within the same cell as a somatic genome, means that mutations in the germline can be sheltered from selection over the course of thousands of cell divisions. We propose to use T. thermophila in a mutation accumulation experiment. Follow-up experiments with the lines that we generate using a range of complementary genetic and genomic tools, combined with powerful computational and statistical analyses will allow us to estimate germline mutational parameters with high robustness and accuracy, including: the overall mutation rate;the rate and effect sizes of mutations deleterious to fitness;their dominance and epistatic relationships;the rate of recessive lethal mutations;and the spectrum of mutations at the molecular level.
Mutation is the ultimate source of all variation responsible for evolutionary change and the underlying cause of genetic diseases and many cancers. We propose to study the rate of mutation and distribution of their effects on fitness. Robust estimates of these parameters will contribute toward gaining a more complete understanding of the causes and consequences of genetic variation.

Mobile Notepad App Needed
- Status Closed
- Budget £250 - £750 GBP
- Total Bids 58
Project Description
Hi there,
I'm needing someone to develop a mobile phone application. Depending on costs/in order of priority I'd want it running on:
1) Android
2) iPhones
3) iPads
I'd imagine the App gets built in i.e PhoneGap so you can then deploy to different phone OS's.
The App is a simple notepad app, it stores notes and then lists them out. Additionally to this if the users types a special password in the note "title" field area then they get taken to a new page with a simple password storage area.
I've created the prototype for this as a HTML file so you can play with the App and see how it would all work. Additionally I've designed it all (all pages) and also have the PSD files.
Ideally the app will have two versions. A "Paid" version and a "Lite" version. The paid version will be as above and the "Lite" version will only allow for 5 notes/passwords to be stored and also show Google Advertisements.
Please get the ball rolling with your time estimates & costs. Your application will then get reviewed and if we feel you could be a suitable canditate we'd look to provide more information and the demo URL so you can perfect your fixed price for the work.
Please provide examples of any apps you've made in the past when applying.
Please note that we're needing A LOT of Apps made this year. This would be your first project with us and if it went well full time work would be offered (for a minimum of 4 months).

Send fresh flowers to Sweden
Our best selection of bouquets for Sweden
Send Flowers to Sweden
With Stockholm as its capital, the Scandinavian country of Sweden has nearly 10 million inhabitants, making it one of Europe's least dense countries. Nonetheless, Sweden attracts many tourists each year due to its pristine countryside and its stunning cities, such as Gothenburg.
Swedes take flowers seriously in the sense that each of their provinces is represented by one or more flowers. Rich and diverse terrain of the country is home to several species of flowers and plants that tend to thrive in the shades of the forested landscape.
The small, fragile, and fragrant pink twinflower (Linnaea borealis) is Sweden's national flower, which flourishes in the cooler parts of the country. There are several other common flowers that grow here, including Anemones, Forget-Me-Nots, European Globe Flower (closely resembling Tulips), the fragrant Lily of the Valley, Mountain Ash, Yellow Lady's Slipper, May Flower and Hibiscus, just to name a few of them.
Looking to send flowers to Sweden? FloraQueen offers a wide variety of flowers to choose from, be it any occasion, time of the year, or weather. We make sure that the appropriate flowers get delivered to the recipient in a timely manner, fresh from our local outlets.

Saregama India Ltd, formerly The Gramophone Company of India Ltd, was established as the first overseas office branch of EMI UK back in 1901. Since its birth, the name of the label has had many name changes from EMI India Ltd to HMV, before it was sold to a £5 billion conglomerate company by the name of RPG Group in 1985. The brand Saregama was created in 1999.
In this ever-changing digital world, the company has undergone more changes in the past decade than its entire life. Having organised his seventh live event for Saregama, Kailash Kher's first UK tour, we spoke to Amarpal S. Gaind, Head of Operations Europe, on how his time and business attitude with the company has changed over the years.
Saregama has an impressive history. Tell us more…
Saregama is one of the oldest record labels in the world, and one of the largest. We have produced approximately half a million recordings from the early 20th century to date making us one of the largest labels in the world. And by virtue of that, we are proud custodians of India's rich musical heritage and history. It is not a company, it is an institution.
What do you think separates Saregama from other Indian record labels?
Ours is a historical catalogue which has been collected over 100 years. Apart from having a vast archive of old Hindi films and contemporary Bollywood soundtracks, we also have an extensive library of Indian classical music, Ghazals and folk music from every region of India. We own nearly 50 percent of all the music ever recorded in India.
Some people feel that the traditional sound of Indian music is getting lost. Do you think the sound is changing?
I personally have very low opinion on what is happening. Melody has lost its meaning. Indian music was lyric-centric. If you look at songs between the 50s and 80s, they are poetic and a lyrical class lies within them. That has got lost now. If Indian music is to have an international impact, it will have to come from the folk music roots of India.
Would you say Kailash Kher could make a similar impact in the West?
Kailash Kher sits in a special spectrum. Kailash made it big without Bollywood. He had success with albums that were his own works. Success in Bollywood has only catapulted him further. I have a lot of respect for Kailash Kher. His roots are entrenched in folk music and he composes and writes lyrics of all his songs from the experiences of his life. If anybody from India can make it big in the west, it is him.
How did you come to work for Saregama?
I have always indulged in music and been very passionate about it but the opportunity to work with Saregama came out of nowhere…it wasn't by design!
How have things changed in the market?
I have been responsible for the business in my current position since 2003. I moved in at a time when the physical format contributed to over 90 per cent of the turnover. Today, not even five per cent comes from it. Having said that, the first thing I set my eyes on was to take our CD's into the wider mainstream and world music audiences. We did this with a degree of success in the UK, Germany and France by conceiving bespoke albums and appointing specialist distributors.
But that's not how the company survived. The mainstay of our business has been the music publishing and licensing business. We have worked very hard to get our music out into the mainstream – licensing out to TV programmes, film production, advertisements and encourage use of Indian music samples in the mainstream artists' community. We appointed agents across the globe to represent our catalogue and push it through. In nutshell we have had to create a market for ourselves.
More recently we have diversified into live events in the UK, which ironically is the oldest form of music consumption (considering recorded music has only been around for one hundred years or so!)
Which western artists have sampled Saregama's music?
The Black Eyed Peas for their song 'Don't Phunk With My Heart', Dr Dre, Tony Yayo, Lil Kim, Jem, M.I.A., G-Unit, Transglobal underground, Jay Sean, Dot Rotten, Trickbaby...
This just about allowed us to stay afloat but CD sales kept coming down. A company that is not growing is actually dying. On noticing that in 2008, we thought we would go back to the oldest form of music production - that of live music. Since man stepped foot on this planet, there has always been live music.
How did your first live event come about?
A gentleman by the name of Tim Pottier had arranged some Mohammed Rafi songs and recorded the instrumentals with The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CSBO). They approached me to release these as a CD album. Having seen the sharp decline in CD sales I thought this was a great opportunity to start a live events business division and commence our journey with this very unique concept of fusing on stage a 75 piece western symphony orchestra with a Indian singer (Sonu Nigam) to pay tribute to perhaps the most iconic voice from Hindi cinema – Mohammed Rafi. That's how 'Rafi Resurrected' the live concert tour was born in 2008.
Earlier I had noted a gap in the live entertainment scene within the South Asian market where on one end of the spectrum you had.
What did Rafi Resurrected entail?
It required a lot of forward planning and it took some fifteen months to put the tour on ground. On top of that it was a massive project with a huge financial exposure for us.
One had to deal with two complete different worlds of mindsets in India and UK. This project was a labour of love and since it was the first it required 200 per cent dedication to put together.
We launched the album some 6 months before the tour with help of Rafi sahib's grandson Rizwan who lives in London. We had only two days of rehearsals before the first concert but that didn't matter in the end as both Sonu Nigam and the CBSO have perfected their art so well. The end result was history for everyone to remember!
What did you learn from the Rahat tour?
The first tour with Rahat was a tribute to Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with the CBSO. It was out of sheer chance that we decided to do two qawwalis without the orchestral backdrop. I was stunned to see the audience response on these. Therefore we quickly brought back Rahat six months later with the 'Simply Rahat' tour, this time with his own band of musicians. You have to listen to your market and respond quickly!
What was next?
After this we worked with Asha ji (Bhonsle), one of the living legends. We released an album called 'Naina Lagai Ke' which was a semi-classical collaboration with Shujaat Khan, the sitar maestro (and son of the sitar legend Ustad Vilayat Khan). Both came from their own individual musical institutions. So that project was very unique. The three city tour was also a sell out and got a lot of critical acclaim by mainstream press.
After big names like Asha Bhosle and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan why did you decide to bring Roop Kumar Rathod to the UK?
We had established ourselves as a professional outfit confident of giving audiences value for money. Roop Kumar Rathod has a beautiful voice, and although he had his success in Bollywood, not many people knew that he and his wife Sunali are accomplished ghazal singers. There renditions of Indian films classics were very well received by audiences.
In fact a lot of people have said to me that theirs was the finest live concert they have ever attended. Such positive feedback keeps you going in this business.
What should Kailash Kher fans expect to see at the upcoming tour?
On January 10th, 2012, we released Kailash's album Rangeele and this tour follows from the album. Kailash will be performing popular Bollywood hits, classics like 'Chapp Tilak' and some Nusrat favourites. He will also be singing his evergreen songs like 'Allah Ke Bande', 'Saiyyan', 'Tere Deewani'.
Kailash himself is a very young, down to earth personality. His engagement with the crowd and his sense of humour is amazing. Musically, he is a genius. The new album will only substantiate what I am saying, in that his music gets even better with time. In my opinion, this is the best album he has created. It is a privilege to do this tour with him.
We hear Kailash also has a celebrity fan following…
That's right. A R Rahman himself has classified Kailash Kher as one of the finest talents in India today. He's stated 'Allah Ke Bande' as one of his favourite songs ever. His album Rangeele was launched by Amitabh Bachchan earlier this year.
What is your favourite Kailash Kher song?
My current favourite is 'Tu Kya Jaane' from the new album. It is a beautiful ballad - I can assure that song will be on everybody's lips once the concerts are over.

Potential Lag, Camera Lag, and battery fix
So I have been searching the net trying to find a way to fix my missed calls issue and came across a few things that I found to be quite interesting. (root is required)
The first is an article about fixing lag and battery drain on the G2 Make Your LG G2 Perform Faster by Fixing Lag Issue | DroidViews
I have done the "fix" and will report back as to how it works.
The second is the volume fix which supposedly increases the G2's baseline volume without introducing any distortion. Again, root is required. I did the "fix" and have noticed much better text/message notification volume through the stock speaker.
More about it here: Enjoy Louder Speaker and Headphone Volume with LG G2 Volume Boost Mod
Let me know what y'all think.

Re: Potential Lag, Camera Lag, and battery fix
Thanks for sharing! Sucks that these are root-only as I'm sure it happens to users who are not already rooted as well.

Re: Potential Lag, Camera Lag, and battery fix
Ok, so its been a bit more than 24 hours and I can see some differences in performance.
1. Lag, especially the camera is MUCH improved..
2. The speaker/sound mod gave me mixed results. Although I feel like things "sound better and more clear", it did nothing for the volume. Going to play with it some more, maybe I did something wrong.
3. Battery life... hard to say so far because its the weekend and I have been using my phone a lot, especially for streaming music to my BT headset, speaker, and car. I'll be able to tell more about the battery on Monday when I go back to work. Battery life at work is much more predictable for me.
Not so much a problem to root as it is to flash a custom ROM. I'm sticking with stock for now.... which is strange for me because I've usually rooted and flashed custom ROMS to every other phone I've owned.

Re: Potential Lag, Camera Lag, and battery fix
I haven't done Lag Fix and I think I'm not gonna 😀
Volume booster:
I didn't feel much difference between modded version and original (or stock) version. I was expecting a great improvement.

Re: Potential Lag, Camera Lag, and battery fix
Battery results are a mixed bag. Light use over the weekend yielded a considerable improvement in battery. I finished the day yesterday at 72% with about 14 hours of light use. Not bad and better than average for me.
Battery life was much better at work for me, finishing out the day today with still around 60% battery remaining after a day of heavy use. Usually I'm in the 30 to 40% range lately. So, an overall improvement.
Camera has been noticeably better with almost NO lag whatsoever.
Sound is still hit and miss... things sound better but not louder. A particular concern for me since I really can't hear my text notifications in a noisy (hospital) work environment. I have tried more annoying notifications which I can hear better but hey... I have to be professional. ;-)
The problem though is I think the "fixes" have introduced a random crash/reboot cycle. Felt my phone vibrate several times today in my pocket and each time I took it out, it was on the Verizon splash screen and rebooting. Had never done that before the fixes. Problem is, which fix caused it? Oh well, guess I can backtrack and try to figure it out.
- 09-02-2014, 06:32 PM Thread Author #7
Re: Potential Lag, Camera Lag, and battery fix
Yet another update and GOOD news...
So, as it turns out, the crashes and rebooting may have been due to the google news and weather app that was updated today.
Battery life today was phenomenal and my phone stayed cool all day. Total so far is 14 hours of relatively heavy use with just over one hour of screen time and clocking in at 75% battery remaining.
Now, I also did a couple things different today which included turning off location services and bluetooth when I arrived at work this morning. At this point, my battery life is back to pre-kit kat levels.
I normally keep my screen brightness set at 40% but recently I have left it at 60%.. I'll try 50% tomorrow and see how much a difference it makes. Visually, it does not seem much different.
I also followed the advice in some other posts and removed Google Hangouts. Since doing so, google play services has dropped from 29+% down to 2% on the battery log.
More to come...

Look at these dudes. Three pleasant, symmetrical rascals with gay posture who just wanted to impress mentor Smokey Robinson with their dotty croquet uniforms, conjure some soul on Motown/Detroit night, and look like they belong on American Idol. Did they succeed? Ahahaha. If the goal was to deepen the tracks of Smokey Robinson's tears by making him WEEP UNCONTROLLABLY, then yes. Otherwise, they don't fare so well in this week's rankings.
Here they are, the eight remaining Idol contestants' performances from Motown Night ranked #8-1.
8. Lazaro Arbos, "For Once In My Life"
At least Lazaro knows I'm mad at him, otherwise why would he wear greaser attire and slick his hair like the hot prostitute from A Single Man? I'm drawing a blank. Meet me in the parking lot, buddy!
On the same token, Lazaro intentionally peeved me this week by choosing Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life," which is not only my favorite Stevie track but the same song Melinda Doolittle picked for her unmatched season 6 audition. Dear Lazaro: You are not Melinda Doolitte. You are more like Melinda from The Real World: Austin. Memorably good-looking, but your only chance at a legacy is if you marry a fellow castmate whose most admirable quality is smiling well. Paul Jolley, please pick up your calling card.
This performance was terrible. Theory: Lazaro's performances will continue being terrible as long as he 1) is afraid of every song and 2) can't sing. The judges pretended he rebounded from last week, but he mostly just sang quieter. Which I guess is a step in the right direction, come to think of it. "For Once In My Life" has such tremendous verve and defiance about it, and his read of the song felt tremulous and meek. He's letting sorrow hurt him! Much like it's hurt him before! Don't sing a song if you're not going to subscribe to its lyrics, Lazzy Star.
7. Angie Miller, "Shop Around"
I guess it's considered blasphemous to note that Angie Miller is clearly having the worst identity crisis of season 12, as she's now careened from dopey Celine balladry to ridiculous, almost unrecognizable versions of "Yesterday" and now "Shop Around." What are we rooting for, again? Her sheath dresses and good hair? We have Amber for that. And Aubrey Cleland is filling out the forms to be her understudy. Hell, so is Charlie Askew. (He just wants to be included, guys.)
Here's something Angie taught me: "Shop Around" is apparently the single whitest pop song in history. With all her put-on swagger and sorry flirtation with the band, Angie's version of Motown "flair" conjured all the "sass" of a Kidz Bop rendition of "White Christmas." Face it, she's the girl who performs "Jingle Bell Rock" at the school talent show, but she'll never have the booty-up skills to match Regina George. She's a second banana like Gretchen Weiners with the confidence of Cady Heron. A lethally comatose combo.
6. Devin Velez, "The Tracks of My Tears"
As far as I can tell, Tintin here is the only competitor left who is guaranteed an elimination in the next two weeks. If my calculations are correct, he'll be gone tomorrow, and that's kind of a shame given that Devin is a stately performer who occasionally bothers with vulnerability and command. This week he played it pretty stoic, conveying none of the palpable anguish of Linda Ronstadt's version of "Tracks of My Tears" or even the contemplative sensitivity of Adam Lambert's season-eight attempt. He's adorable — even when he's dressed in a weird black blazer with giant lapels (see above) like Vincent Price on an average episode of Masterpiece Theatre from 1987 — and he's spent the past two weeks refusing to be memorable. I want to root for him, but as Tim Gunn says, I can't want his success more than he does. Tim Gunn would probably also root against that red jacket, as Devin is not bad-ass enough to play the singing telegram girl in Clue.
5. Burnell Taylor, "My Cherie Amour"
Pardon me: I am still recovering from the way Burnell all but blunderbussed Lazaro after their disastrous rendition (with Devin) of "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)." He muttered to Seacrest, "I remembered my part… not to throw anyone under the bus!" He may as well have added, "The stuttering dandy f*cked us over, Ryan."
As expected, Burnell's version of "My Cherie Amour" was aided by his natural charisma and smooth tone. And both charisma and smoothness were essential in helping me forget that he added an "mmm" sound to every line of the damn song. Seriously, that boy crooned, "My Cher-EEM AmORM" again and again. Is that some trick? Is this something professional singers do? It was hugely distracting and comical, and it had a cockney quality.
4. Janelle Arthur, "You Keep Me Hanging On"
Sweet, butterscotch-tressed Janelle tried earning my love early in the episode with a duet on "Like a Prayer" with Kree, and she sort of worked it. Sort of. Not worthy of a glorious field of burning crosses or anything, but fine. Then she hit us with a revamped, acoustic take on "You Keep Me Hanging On," and unlike the judges, I found the new version lacking in musicality and angst. It was more pretty than poignant, but Janelle can rest easy knowing she gave her finest vocal performance of the season (if you're into that sort of thing — I literally find Dannii Minogue more compelling than Janelle, and Dannii's vocals amount to a fresh wad of Bubblelicious.) Again, the problem with Janelle is she refuses to be truly novel or individual, as she lacks the inventiveness to market herself as anything other than a cuddly ball of twang. We've seen this happen before. Look! The ghost of Skylar Laine hops the Idol stadium in her ATV, waving a flag that reads, "Honey, yer gonna get fifth place, I swurr!"
3. Kree Harrison, "Don't Play That Song"
Phew. Kree finally didn't look bored during a performance, as her meeting with Smokey Robinson apparently filled her with the sauciness of a thousand stiletto heels and a dozen index finger-wags. Kree's strong suit (aside from that admittedly flawless voice) is song choice, and I really loved that she chose this meaningful, Aretha-anointed track. Now, did I say that her voice is flawless? It is, except… it also had its sharp moments this week? That's a very weird trip-up for Kree. I continue to believe that she's going to earn a surprise trip to the bottom three soon (at which point the judges will save her if she lands in last place, of course), but I found this Motown trip a sensitive, if slightly under-par performance for the mechanically unbeatable Kree.
2. Candice Glover, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
Candice is the only contestant whose voice alone can make me pay attention. She knows that American Idol is combat, and thus her performances always feature some fighting spirit and bossy conviction. She needed those two things on "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," a very familiar song to Idol viewers, but from start to finish she unleashed a medley of coos, grunts, purrs, and pouts that made the song sound strangely current to me. Usually the most "current" thing about American Idol is Burnell's burgundy Zara pants, so that's a profound step. I won't call this my favorite Candice performance by a long shot, but I will say it's enough to prove that Candice can remain viable and cool on even the most overplayed songs.
1. Amber Holcomb, "Lately"
Was it the best vocal of the night? Probably not. Was it the most novel song choice of the night? I'd say no. But Amber, to me, is just the most fabulous contestant of the season, an incessantly saucy performer whose sad songs pack a mournful bleat and whose stage energy always feels alive and cool. During this elegaic take on "Lately," she seemed to be both transcendent and melancholic, and that creates a dichotomy that none of the other contestants have. Candice always picks "soulful." Kree picks "straightforward angst." Devin is tasteful, Burnell is sweet, Janelle is pretty. But Amber, even in her relatively staid song choices (seriously, let's move away from ballads soon, girl), always delivers an organic, logical projection of her own un-cloying earnestness and charm. While I think her version of "She's Leaving Home" is still tops, this was yet another stunner and a beautifully stark rendition. Though I will say: Time to enunciate a bit more, glamor girl. Soon she'll start borrowing unnecessary "mmms" from Burnell's trick bag.

Back with another large batch of recent releases and the forthcoming. As my fingers aren't totally back to full snuff, the reviews are a bit short and sweet. I aim to get the guts of the releases covered however.
Iron Maiden: Somewhere Back in Time
If you are a metal fan of a certain age, you will have these tracks in many different forms I would bet. Released with their most recent worldwide trek, complete with their own plane (a fully Derek Riggs Eddie-decorated 757) flown by Bruce, this is really aimed at the young tykes who have not been around long enough to remember some of this stuff. I am guessing that the discs will be a gift from the older generation of metalheads to the younger version. If this were a book, it would be a lovely cross-section of what makes Iron Maiden one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
You can even download a free three-day version of the album for nothing from Iron Maiden; If you don't have all the albums get this and if you do own them, get it to give to yer favorite younger rocker. Good… of course it's good, it's bloody Iron Maiden! Up the Irons!
Opeth: Watershed
Here's another band that seem to enjoy making reviewers come up with new superlatives. A line-up change has not halted the member's quest to show us that you can hit the levels of Floyd-esque sublime brilliance via death metal. If you like Opeth you will love this disc. If you like prog-metal you bloody well should like it and if you are fan of well crafted metal of any kind ditto. It's simply revolting how talented this lot are… growing with each release taking their music to an even higher level. Get this disc, hit play, and from "Coil" on enjoy the brilliance. Essential… whether or not you go for the edition with bonus tracks.
Puscifer: V is Viagra-the Remixes
Here's more bizarre weirdness from this lot. This time remixed. Is it essential for anyone but fans of the band? Well, is any re-mix album ever? If you like this lot you will love the twisting and turning of the various near-do-wells who show up to mangle Puscifer tracks. Outrageous… yeah, check out the bonus "Country Boner"; One of those albums for when you are a complete nutty mood. Long live Puscifer. If you didn't exist we would have to invent you lot.
Melvins: Nude with Boots
Odd? Check. Eclectic? Check…with occasional bursts of Kiss-like tongue-in-cheek over the top goodness. Yep, that is here too. Fun, dumb, and full of it, the Melvins have another good one to add to their back catalogue. "Suicide in Progress"; even has a wonderful southern fried feel to it. You never know what to expect track to track on here, which is a good thing.
Atris: Lensing
Mentioning Coldplay in the PR is probably not a good way to get my attention, but for some reason I didn't toss this one aside. It's a similar vibe to plod music which is what constitutes sub-Coldplay pop these days but with a hint of originality. It mostly bored the tar out of me but it wasn't awful. In fact, I would say there is less of samey element on here as there are on that band's releases. Probably good for the morning-after hangover.
16 Second Stare: Red Carpet Material
Never heard of this lot; but got to say they are rather good. Modern hard rock with hints to the past. You can't fault "Better Man", which will have you reaching for your lighter within seconds and singing along by the second verse. Whisky drenched heavy vocal styling over some great playing. This reminds me a lot of Tesla with a hint of Salty Dog via The Cult. Like UK bands like The Answer, Jaded Sun, and Glyder, this lot remind us of some great rock and assure its future. I will be coming back to 16SS in the coming months that is for sure.
The More I See: The Unholy First
Gizz Butt, previously of the Prodigy, has decided to revisit the golden age of thrash with a strong hint of Metallica. This isn't part of the modern wave of thrash with its post-metalcore sensibilities, but straight out of the 80s. This album makes Trivium's latest sound like a cover band. Try not to headbang to "Bloodline"; I dare you! If you ever wanted to be reminded why you like this sort of music in the first place, then this lot are the slap up your head you need. Their debut The Wolves are Hungry was pretty damn good; this is even better.
If you need something to keep yer cockles warm until Metallica pulls their finger out then this might be just the release for you. Yes, its that good.
Billy Morrison: Stimulator
With a pedigree like The Cult, Circus Diablo, and Camp Freddy you can expect something good from this release. Very much an artist letting himself go on a solo album, there are all kinds of things on here ranging from the sub-industrial of "Driving me Mad", to the Velvet Revolver-alike of "When I close my Eyes", to the straight ahead rock of "Cold". Morrison obviously wanted to try his hand at modern metal. Not entirely essential, this release, but fans of modern heavy rock might like to take a listen. A bit of an indulgence maybe, but not too much of one.
Cult of Luna: Eternal Kingdom
A concept album based on a diary found in their rehearsal space, this is all rather odd. Modern prog death metal with hints of Voivod and other experimentalists. I found it both hard to get into and rewarding after a few listens. No doubt fans of the band will be all aflutter but it might take some getting used to for new fans of the band. No doubt the talent of this lot and well worth looking into.
Gama Bomb: Citizen Brain
This lot remind me a bit of M.O.D./S.O.D. with its almost rapping vocals and thrash background. This is brain-dead thrash antics at its daft best. A new load of thrashers to really annoy the crap out of your parents with… or your siblings. Short songs with loads of riffing and blast-beat drumming. You can just see the long-shorts and bouncing round the stage. It sure put a smile on my face. Get drunk and put this on; your neighbours will thank you.
Michael Vescera: A Sign of Things to Come
You know the score with this one. You are well known as a vocalist in the flash metal circles. You give yer mates a ring and produce a concoction that is all their bands and yours rolled into one. It might work or not, but you have a damn good time doing it. Well in this case it works well; the end result is pure Rising Force widdling brilliance. Check out "Crossing the Line". This would drive pure metallers nuts but its hard not to smile listening to this stuff. "Something to Believe" just sums up the Rising Force-esque world of heavy rock.
Yes it's flashy, a bit over the top, but when it's this much fun who gives a toss. I think it's time to get the Ferrari out of the garage, put the top down and go cruise — gold chain optional.
Elevener: When Kaleidoscopes Collide
If Toto had not come from Southern California and instead came from Scandinavia, it would have sounded like this. "I Still Remember" is so unashamedly steeped in the eighties power-rock/pop its chronic and how about "All of my Life"? The band don't give a damn wallowing in it with goofy and knowing smiles. Infectious as hell, with annoyingly catchy choruses and soaring guitar solos, you can just feel your metal cred flying out the window. You can just imagine the soundtrack this belongs on.
There is no doubting the talent on here that is for sure. They seem to be having a great time doing it. So, stop resisting and just sit back so you can enjoy the ride. Every rocker has a soft side. You could do a hell of a lot worse that showing if off with this lot.
Well on that pomptastic note I should probably end. Not that you should be shocked that I like the smaltzy stuff considering I just released CD of a "love-letter song" to my wife with her response.
I certainly have covered quite a range of stuff this week from the daft as a brush thrash, through darkness to deep prog, to the foot-on-monitor antics of Iron Maiden. As always please check out live music whenever you can and stay safe.Powered by Sidelines

text: The house is in the hill top village of Bebabbio about 4km from Bagni Di Lucca. It is as good as the information given. Clean, well equipped and well furnished. It's a lovely house. All the rooms are large and 2 are en suite. Bebabbio is a beautiful hill top village with 2 excellent and well priced restaurants. The restaurant in the main square serves very good traditional food. Don't expect a menu with prices. The value was excellent so no need to worry. The pizzeria, a short walk up the hill was also excellent and really good value. The views from the village are beautiful. There is a bus service (a car is better) and easy access to Lucca and other cities. The ski resort of Abertone is an hour and well worth the trip. We had a very relaxing few days. This is an excellent place to stay.

I said in my last post I could write at length about each of the bits of life advice I've been contemplating of late, "other people matter" being one of them. I just Googled it. Plenty's already been written.
Threw out my back (for the umpteeth time -- old college injury) in a big way about a month ago. It was terribly painful and I've been working on recovery. Lots of stretching. Lots of core exercising. Lots of all the things that people are supposed to do before exercising that I used to laugh at when I was in my 20s. Got back to running just this week and things are holding up. 18 mins on Sunday. 19 minutes on Tuesday. 20 minutes tonight. Feels like I'm running six minute miles when I'm going, I'm working so hard, but when I look at my smartphone, I'm lucky if I'm running 10 minute miles. Gotta start somewhere. It's been awhile since I've ran regularly. One step at a time. Patience.

There are more contracting problems for Gulf Coast reconstruction. Democrats on the House Small Business Committee say a total of $67 million in Katrina contracts were awarded to hundreds of large companies including Weyerhaeuser, CompUSA and Lowe's Home Improvement but federal agencies LISTED them as "small businesses". Members of congress held a hearing in New Orleans Thursday to address the issue.
(AP (file))
The Small Business Administration (SBA) says 29% of all Katrina government contracts went to small businesses nationwide, which exceeds the federal requirement of 23%.
Kenneth Edmonds owns River Parish RV in La Place, Louisiana and was disappointed when he was rejected by FEMA for a trailer bid because his quote was too high. The FEMA rejection letter he received mentioned the eight companies who won trailer contracts. The letter also indicated Edmonds had no recourse, "No response is required unless a basis exists to challenge the small business size status of the apparently successful efforts." But one of the eight companies listed in the letter – PRI/DJI of San Diego California – is a subsidiary of the multi-billion dollar company Fluor Corporation headquartered in Texas.
Edmonds says he has no sympathy for those who say contracting mistakes are attributed to the chaos of the storm's aftermath, "That would be like saying you are shooting at a target and because of being distracted you missed the whole bullseye. In this case," he says, "FEMA missed the whole barn."

Lift Vertige
Root-uplifting gel. This medium-fixation styling gel guarantees a "higher hair" effect with delicate softness and shine. At the root of this high-performance product is a simple formula: lift, suppleness, elevation and no unpleasant surprises. A formula that can elevate
roots with subtlety and without a "cardboard" look.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Magdalena from Lift and bounce Lift Vertige absolutely does what it says it's intended to do, a "unique gel-texture that elevates the roots without a "cardboard" feel." If your hair is chin length or shorter, this product is definitely your'do-it-all' go to product. You will not be disappointed if what you're after is visible volume and that sexy bounce. However, if your hair is shoulder length (as mine) or longer you will need to include additional products to your routine such as a mousse. I would recommend this product if your hair is short and you want that lift at the root. However, for longer hair you will definitely need to include additional products! As with all Kerastase products, this gel smells heavenly and its texture does not leave your hair crunchy or stiff. Rest assured, your hair will feel soft and luxurious.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ADH76 from Not what it's cracked up to be I found this product to be average at best and overall was disappointed in the results. For the cost, it is not worth it.
