Indiana Jones and the Temple of Idiocy
An extra gives away key plot details of the upcoming movie.
Extra! Extra! Perhaps you've read Page Six's account of young Tyler Nelson, the "big-mouthed extra" who may have ended his career thanks to an ill-considered decision to blab plot details about the upcoming Indiana Jones movie.
Nelson, cast as a dancing Russian soldier, talked to the Edmond Sun in Oklahoma despite having signed a nondisclosure agreement. In response, director Steven Spielberg's spokesman is ominously quoted as saying: "Who knows whether that particular person will ever work in this town again?"
We're told that the forces of George Lucas took the lead in trying to stuff the genie back into the bottle, getting the article pulled off the Web and stripping links from sites like Ain't It Cool News. Doing in the version on Page Six might be beyond even the powers of Lucas and Spielberg combined, which raises interesting questions about the laws that govern the media universe.
We're not sure of the provenance of this little piece of art above—it came in through the virtual transom—but we thought we'd share it anyway. If its creator wants to take a bow, let us know.
Sept. 27: Update! This came in over the virtual transom:
Hi, my name is Tom Kilbourne and a friend of mine made me aware that a picture I photoshopped of Tyler Nelson, the kid who ratted out the plot of Indy 4, appeared in your article titled "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Idiocy." I showed it to him, he sent it to a friend and it somehow made it over to you. I saw the link at the bottom to get credit for the picture, and I guess I'd like to take a bow. Thanks for posting it!
Sept. 25, 2007
Words words words: Some quotes have a way of sticking in people's minds for a long time. In Hollywoodland, one of the best was Michael Eisner's famous comment about Jeffrey Katzenberg: "I hate the little midget." That was from 1999, and it took litigation to smoke it out. Given the level of caution in the business when it comes to speaking on the record, we don't get winners like that too often.
But now Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman has come up with one for the ages. At a Goldman Sachs media conference last week, he said that the departure of DreamWorks' Steven Spielberg and David Geffen would be "completely immaterial" to the company's financial outlook. In case you're not a lawyer, what Dauman meant by that is that Viacom's relationship with DreamWorks is deader than a herring in cream sauce. What will happen next has the town riveted.
So far, Dauman (or, should we say, Sumner Redstone, for whom Dauman speaks) is not winning many points for his bold statement. It is one thing to throw Tom Cruise out on his boodle. Steven Spielberg is a whole different bag of tricks.
We took a little poll of current and former studio heads and top-level Viacom types. All agreed that Dauman's words—though true—were ill-chosen. "It's so awkwardly put," says a source. "It's probably correct from a legal point of view because the movie company is such a small portion of the total number. So he's probably correct technically but it's just silly. I think [Spielberg] is pretty material."
Just looking at the studio, of course, DreamWorks is exceedingly material. Paramount dashed across the $1 billion mark in box-office grosses in record time this year, and the vast majority of that money came from DreamWorks movies. "The immaterial number is the number that Paramount produced," says a studio veteran. He means from movies like Hot Rod and Stardust and Freedom Writers.
Most concurred that Dauman, having given up on the DreamWorks relationship, was trying to do Wall Street damage control. In the process, says one current studio boss, Dauman inflicted a great deal of damage on its film studio. "It hurts them in ways they haven't felt yet," he says. After what's happened to Viacom talent—executive and creative, from Tom Freston to Tom Cruise—this observer continues, "You have to say, what reason is there to be there?"
To which a Paramount source responds: "Paramount's been around for 100 years. It'll be around for 100. We'll do another six movies a year [to replace those provided by DreamWorks]." This executive adds that DreamWorks would have to leave behind all its projects in development, so some of those six movies will come from the DreamWorks larder. And there you have the Viacom party line.
But it's hardly so simple. Considering how strongly DreamWorks has been batting lately, a few of those extra six movies will have to do a lot better than anything Paramount has generated in recent memory. Still, our insider is not fazed. "As long as you have a checkbook," he says, "the talent is going to come."
As for DreamWorks, our source notes that Geffen and Spielberg have been bitching about Paramount from the start, and that hasn't endeared them to Dauman (i.e., Redstone). "How many times can you read that people are unhappy?" he asks.
It is useful to remember that when Paramount outbid Universal for DreamWorks, the price seemed pretty rich. DreamWorks had been through a turn in the barrel, and Geffen needed to get a deal done to extricate investor Paul Allen. But then the DreamWorks world changed, transformed by Transformers, among other hits. (DreamWorks had a great year but the most important of its hits was Transformers, because it's a franchise.)
According to one up-close Geffen and Spielberg observer, that great deal with Paramount began to lose some of its luster: "David Geffen—who believes he is and may be the greatest deal-maker of all time—believes he left $1 billion on the table."
Meanwhile, Spielberg will really dislike being called immaterial. "With Steven Spielberg, it's about being made to feel you're the most special person in the world," says this source. And in Hollywood, says a top-level Viacom veteran, he is the most special person in the world—so special that no executive should ever suggest that losing him would be immaterial. "You don't say it to Spielberg," he says. "He's not talent—he's God."
DreamWorks may be high-maintenance, but most in our little poll felt it was clear that the burden was on Paramount and Viacom to make what should have been a successful marriage work. That's why when Paramount studio chief Brad Grey says publicly that life will go on without Spielberg and Geffen, a competitor is left shaking his head. "Why not say, 'Thank God these guys are here'?" he asks. "It's an extraordinary thing. I'm amazed by the simplicity of what it should have been and how hard they all made it."
Which leads us at last to what comes next—and here's the answer: No one knows. The consensus is that only one thing could salvage the situation at Paramount. "If Sumner Redstone dies, that could change things," says a studio chief.
Meanwhile, Brad Grey—having failed to do anything much to brag about at Paramount other than buying DreamWorks—will probably get some time to collect himself. Next year's J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek and (oh, the irony) Spielberg-directed Indiana Jones should buy him breathing room. After that, as one of our ex-studio chiefs puts it—he's "sitting there all naked."
Meanwhile, the DreamWorks team finds a new home. Most observers think Ron Meyer at Universal would love to have Spielberg back, which would be most convenient for Spielberg since he's never actually left the lot. But there are questions. GE wouldn't make the DreamWorks deal in the first place. Will that change now, when there is speculation that GE will try to sell NBC Universal after the Olympics next year?
Also, one has to wonder what Geffen will demand. The DreamWorks team would have no library, no projects to bring along. That might seem to simplify things. But that doesn't mean Geffen won't demand a huge pile of money for what is, in effect, a first-look deal with Spielberg. "What are you buying?" asks one in-the-loop source. "You're buying Steven and Stacey Snider—and you don't get a discount. I'm not sure what David brings you." (Other than a formidable adversary if you piss him off.)
No doubt the folks at GE and Universal would be happiest if Geffen and Spielberg tap a few bucks out of Wall Street before they come knocking. (Link)
Sept. 19, 2007
Game On: As the fall TV season kicks off, it looks like the big networks may have more problems than the NFL. They have issues with big-budget programs that seem to be slipping off the rails. The cost of these shows, says one top network executive, is "out of control. It is craziness."
It has been widely rumored that NBC is having fits with Bionic Woman, which is over its target cost with about five episodes shot. The industry is also waiting for CBS to fail with its expensive, quirky musical Viva Laughlin. Meanwhile, with the controversial reality show Kid Nation premiering tonight, CBS has locked its lips about which advertisers might dare to sell their wares in the first episode. Clearly some have backed off, which is the kiss of death unless the first airing draws a big audience, and advertisers, believing that the controversy will die down, return to the fold. (One would suppose that the first episode has been thoroughly vetted so that potentially distressing material is kept to a minimum, which makes one wonder whether it retains any entertainment value.)
ABC also has problems. We already reported that Warner Bros. bumped Barry Sonnenfeld off of directing further episodes of ABC's Pushing Daisies because he went so far over budget on the first (post-pilot) episode. Bear in mind that Warner foots a lot of the bill and gets murdered when/if a costly show fails. Now sources tell us that hot-tempered ABC programming chief Steve McPherson thinks Warner is hurting one of the network's best hopes for the season, and he's furious at steps that Warner has taken to cut costs. An ABC source confirms that, saying, "You can't develop Lost and say we want to shoot it for $2.5 million."
On the other hand, anyone who's seen the Pushing Daisies pilot has to wonder: How long can the studio keep up that expensive look? The same question applies to the premise—guy touches dead people, they come back to life; he touches them again, and they die permanently. The girl of his dreams dies. So, guy loses girl, guy touches girl, guy can never touch girl again.
It seems that the ABC money problem has had some ripple effects. A CBS source confirms that Warner has applied its management technique to its new good-guy vampire show, Moonlight. The mandate is to shoot less expensively, which means fewer exterior shots that might include, you know, moonlight.
Several sources say Warner TV president Peter Roth is under a great deal of pressure, not just because of expensive shows but thanks to a stunningly pricey deal with J.J. Abrams that has yet to bear fruit. A well-placed network executive says the deal guarantees the prolific Abrams a staggering $10 million a year. But Abrams is busy popping out movies for Paramount—focusing at the moment on a new Star Trek film that "is going to become his life" until it opens in December 2008, according to a studio source.
Abrams made news in July 2006 with his great big mama of a deal—movies at Paramount, television at Warner. But insane seems to be very popular word when top entertainment executives are polled about it—and it's not just sour grapes. "Somebody had to get hurt," says one. At this point, it doesn't appear to be Paramount.
We're told that the networks have been put on alert to expect a chance to bid on a project bearing the J.J. Abrams label soon. But check the list of ingredients carefully. Just how much Abrams is required for that label to be applied is not clear.
Well—some can still fiddle while Rome burns. We leave you with the image of NBC Entertainment co-chairman Ben Silverman's pre-Emmy party last Friday, which started at about 11 p.m. and featured scantily clad ladies and a caged tiger. We're not sure if the party was fun; the invitation, which stipulated that formal attire was required, also promised, "no media admitted." Silverman threw the bash at a Laurel Canyon mansion with DJ Brent Bolthouse, who—as the folks at GE will be pleased to hear—"virtually invented the Hollywood nightlife scene we know today." For the record, NBC didn't sponsor or pay for the good times.
No wonder Silverman's ring tone is "This Is Why I'm Hot." (Link)

This is very early photography work-- before I learned about lighting. Please forgive the lack of quality of this phot0, which doesn't do justice to how delicious these steaks were!
I have heard of "salting" steaks as a way to make them juicy and flavorful. Today, I stumbled across a food blog "Steamy Kitchen". She has some pretty cool slide shows where she explains how/why salt makes steak as tender as cutting into butter. It's controversial, I will warn you. If you are on blood pressure meds, and need to be on a restricted low-sodium diet, then don't try this.
There are two very important points, if you decide to try this (which I did):
#1, do NOT use table salt! Use only kosher salt.
#2, Rinse the salt off before grilling. If you fail at both of these, you will feel like you're eating a salt block and you'll hate me for sharing this recipe (actually, it's more of a technique).
I have taken the liberty of copying Jaden's material (below) from her website:
Grilled Steak Recipe with Garlic-Herb ButterSteak Recipe Step 1: Buy a hunk of steak. I like mine 1.25 to 1.5 inches thick. Any cut of meat: Filet, Sirloin, Rib Eye, Porterhouse, T-Bone and NY Strip – they all work. You can do this with steaks less than 1″, just really watch your timing. If your steak is already superbly marbled – cut back on your timing! The fattier (more marbled) the meat is, the faster the salt works its way through the meat.
Steak Recipe Step 2: About 1/2 to 1-1/2 teaspoons of kosher/sea salt per side. Let it sit at room temperature during salting. You'll begin to see water on the surface of the meat and on your plate. Don't use anything other than kosher or sea salt, ok?
Here are guidelines….start with this and adjust salt + timing as you experiment.
|Less than 1″
|1/2 tsp each side
|15 min
|1″ thick cut – smallish girly-girl steak, about 4″ across
|1/2 tsp each side
|30 min
|1.25″ -1.5″ (NY Strip, Ribeye) standard thicker steaks can sit longer to let the salt do its work throughout meat
|3/4 – 1 tsp each side
|45 min
|1.25″ – 1.5″ manly-man T-Bone, Porterhouse – more surface area means you use more salt
|1-2 tsp each side
|45 min
|>1.5″ Massive ginormous "Barney Rubble" porterhouse – our fav. I get the strip side, husband gets the filet side
|1-2 tsp each side
|1 hr or more
Step 3: Rinse all salt off, pat very dry <- that part is important. Season with fresh ground pepper (no more salt is needed). Grill to your liking. Hint: get yourself a grilling thermometer. Top with Garlic-Herb Butter immediately to let it oooooze and aaaahhze all over the steak.
Back to my own material: I liked the way the steak turned out. Yes, you can definitely taste the salt...but I found it to be good.
I also made herb butter to serve on top of the steak. The rest of the butter is wrapped in wax paper and it's in a ziploc bag in my freezer. To complete the meal, I made Onion Straws, grilled zucchini and some garlic bread.
To make the herb butter I used:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
Minced fresh chives, fresh tarragon, fresh parsley
3 cloves of fresh garlic
Herb butter can easily be frozen. Cut a piece and toss into fresh steamed vegetables, or any kind of grilled meat. Delicious!
I'm sure glad that my husband gets "clean up" duty when I make an "all out" date night dinner! Indoor grilling and deep frying... mercy!
I have to say that I'm pretty happy with the grill marks. My only regret is that my husband didn't turn the plate so that you could see how perfectly the steak was cooked- medium rare.

Welcome To The Family..."Mob Wives" to Premiere on VH1 Sunday, April 17th
Mar 28, 2011, 12:31 ET
LOS ANGELES, March 28, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- All the myths, legends and tales about "mob life" have all centered on the made men who run these wrong-side-of-the-law closed societies until now. VH1 will debut a provocative new series, "Mob Wives," on Sunday, April 17th at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. The series premiere introduces four Staten Island women at a crossroads, having to pick up the pieces and carry on while their husbands or fathers do time for alleged Mob-related activities. United by a bond which few understand, the women are struggling with their identities, their own families and their futures.
Produced by The Weinstein Company (TWC) and Electus, and created and executive produced by real-life "mob daughter" Jennifer Graziano of JustJenn Productions, the series follows a group of suburban women who lead anything but "normal" lives, a sisterhood forged by suffering, shame, and the strength it takes to start over and find their own identities. Executive producing for Left/Right are Banks Tarver, Ken Druckerman and Nina Diaz. Executive producers for VH1 include Shelly Tatro, Kari McFarland, Rick Hankey and Jeff Olde.
Following the premiere on April 17th, "Mob Wives" will air on VH1 for a total of ten episodes. Promos and additional information about the series can be found at MobWives.VH1.com. Full episodes of "Mob Wives" will be available at MobWives.VH1.com after their on-air premieres.
Meet the "Mob Wives":
Renee Graziano is like any other single mother, trying to raise her teenage son AJ to be a good man. But Renee's own childhood was not like most other kids. She grew up during the heyday of the mob, enjoying the lavish lifestyle that her father Anthony Graziano's connections afforded her. But now that AJ's father and her ex-husband "Junior" has been arrested, she's slowly realizing that this is not a life she wants her son to lead. She now struggles to balance her allegiance to the street life with her hopes that her son will live a life that's free of it.
Karen Gravano was just 19 years old when her father turned on the mafia, a move that left Karen devastated. She has spent the last 12 years in Arizona fighting to become her own person and understanding the choices made by her father Sammy "The Bull" Gravano who helped the government take down John Gotti and the Gambino crime family. Now, she is ready to start over and return to Staten Island to reconnect and rebuild old relationships as she confronts her family's notorious past.
Drita D'avanzo comes from a strict Albanian household and defied her parents by marrying an Italian, someone outside their community. Tough as nails, Drita plays hard and is fiercely protective of her inner circle and her two young girls that she is raising alone while her husband does a second stint in prison for bank robbery. She now grapples with her husband's misdeeds and the consequences of falling in love with and marrying a man who has been in prison for many years. Drita is finally questioning whether she should stay with him or start anew.
Carla Facciolo had a similar upbringing to Renee Graziano. In fact, her father went to prison when she was a young girl. Carla thought she had finally gotten away from the lifestyle she lived growing up -- until her husband was convicted of stock fraud and sentenced to an 8-year stretch in federal prison. Now a stay-at-home mom trying to make ends meet, she still hasn't told their twins the truth of their dad's whereabouts because she feels they are too young to know. But he's getting out of jail soon, and Carla's decided to leave him and go out on her own. But how will she do that?
"Reality is a young genre that continues to grow and is taking us into ever more fascinating places," shared Meryl Poster, TWC's President of Television. "'Mob Wives' provides an unprecedented & illuminating glimpse into a New York community that has long captured the public imagination. To watch these four women who have become heads of households by default is both heartbreaking and mesmerizing. As a New York based company, TWC is thrilled that our neighbors across the river in Staten Island have so graciously welcomed us and soon the public into their lives."
"We are so thrilled to be partnered with VH1 and The Weinstein Company on such a powerful and dynamic series, and we cannot wait to introduce the world to these four extraordinary women," said Jimmy Fox, Electus Development Executive and Executive Producer.
"'Mob Wives' is one of the most authentic and compelling series we've ever done at VH1," said Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming and Production, VH1. "At its heart are four strong women who either grew up in 'the life,' or married into it. They are all now at a defining moment, picking up the pieces and carrying on as their husbands or fathers do time. Each woman is re-examining her life to determine what's best for her and her children."

I could not have asked for a better Easter Sunday! We slept in late, attended a wonderful Easter Service. The first Driscoll Berries of the season are surfacing, and they were on sale for a phenomenal price ($5.88 for four baskets).
Tip: I like to use a strawberry "plucker" to remove the greens, but I never wash my berries until right before I use them-- otherwise, they will go bad really fast.
I made Strawberry Waffles for breakfast. I used Trader Joe's Pancake mix, which I think is terrific for a shortcut...like when you are famished when you get home:
I decided we would enjoy the beautiful spring day, with family, and grill. I also wanted to put these beautiful strawberries to good use...
As luck would have it, I found three wonderful recipes from food bloggers. It's late, and I need to get ready for work-- but I had to share one of the recipes, for now.
My brother had never heard of pairing spinach and strawberries! I love the color of this salad. What really captured me was the vinaigrette. I knew this would be a winner, and I thank "Feed Me Delicious" for posting this on Photograzing. I made a few salad ingredient changes (omitting the bacon) -- but I made the vinaigrette exactly as list. Oh my! This is, truly, one of the best vinaigrettes I've tasted!
I had company on the way, so I was shooting pictures as fast as I could! Basically, you'll need balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, poppy seeds and Dijon mustard, and...
I love poppy seeds! They're so pretty.
I was so pleased to finally use the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, locally produced (Carmel Valley Olive Company) that was included with my C.S.A. Co-Op Box. I whisked the oil in to emulisify it. Wow! Delish!
Right about this time, my brother and his delightful lady friend showed up-- a lot of yakking went on while we made Garlic Oven Fries (these are so good and I can't wait to share this with you) and grilled skirt steak-- plus, I made a Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt Cake and a few other great meals.
You can see the skirt steak, peeking behind this bowl. Isn't this a pretty salad? I added red onion and gorgonzola cheese. I decided not to add bacon, but you certainly could.
My brother, who is a pretty amazing cook himself, was amazed at this new flavor combo that he got to try. I can see this salad gracing my table all through strawberry season. I hope that you try it.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know that I did!

Blue Note Stanley Turrentine Qt./Sxt. Sessions (#212)Mosaic Records Limited Edition Box Set
"Stanley Turrentine had a sound. Until his death in 2000, he was the master of a tenor saxophone tone that demanded attention from the first note. A throwback to the brawny tenor stylists of the swing era - Ben Webster, Illinois Jacquet, Don Byas - as well as the funky R & B players of the late '40s and '50s. Turrentine took no prisoners, no matter the tempo." - Steve Futterman, Washington Post
Limited Edition: 5000 copies
5 CDs - $80.00
The six Blue Note dates in this Mosaic collection are in a class by themselves; some of the best albums of pure hard bop in the selection and treatment of the material and in instrumentation with Stanley Turrentine sharing the front line with a trumpet player or trombonist equal to him in talent. We're delighted to offer these excellent but overlooked hard bop sessions on one jazz collection.
The collection includes the following albums:
Comin' Your Way from 1961 with Stanley Turrentine's brother Tommy on trumpet and the tight, seasoned unit of Horace Parlan, George Tucker and Al Harewood. Given a selection number and listed in catalogs, it was not released at the time.
Jubilee Shout from 1962 with Tommy Turrentine, Sonny Clark, Kenny Burrell, Butch Warren and Al Harewood. The set introduces two previously unissued alternate takes.
A Chip Off The Old Block from 1963, a tribute to the Basie band with Blue Mitchell. Shirley Scott, Earl May and Al Harewood as well as two previously unissued performances.
In Memory Of from 1964 with Blue Mitchell, Curtis Fuller, Herbie Hancock, Bob Cranshaw, Candy Finch and, on several selections, Mickey Roker joining in on congas. On CD for the first time in this collection.
Mr. Natural from 1964 with an especially powerful group: Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw, Elvin Jones on drums and Ray Barretto on congas. On CD for the first time.
Another Story from 1969 with Thad Jones on flugelhorn, Cedar Walton on piano, Buster Williams on bass and Mickey Roker on drums. On CD for the first time in this clessic collection of jazz albums.
You hear the word "soulful" a lot when people talk about Stanley Turrentine, and what they really mean is the emotion he expressed through his confident control of every note. Stanley Turrentine often told the story of being drilled by his musician Dad. He would insist that the young Stanley stand in a corner and play one note endlessly. "Did you hear it?" his dad asked him when he was done. "Dad, I'm standing right here in the corner," Turrentine replied. Years later, his best albums demonstrate that he understood the lesson - that there are all kinds of sounds you can make depending on your attack, breath control, bending, and other manipulations.
At a time when musicians began pursuing an astonishing array of disciplines and personal quests, when many regarded "jazz" and "revolution" as interchangeable terms, Stanley Turrentine was at the forefront of a group of jazz musicians who believed in the best of melody and song; in extending and interpreting traditions, not in detonating them. While his style and ideas were contemporary, his big sound allied him more with some of the best grand masters on the instrument as this Mosaic collection demonstartes.

Jubilee Shout - October 18, 1962
Eighteen months passed before the next session in this collection, a stretch during which Stanley had been heard on several Blue Note projects in various formats. The live Minton's recordings (February '61) featured Grant Green, while the quintet heard on the opening session here convened for the third and final time under Parlan's name a month later (March '61). Dearly Beloved (June '61) introduced the working partnership of Stanley and Shirley Scott on Blue Note, with the organist identified as "Little Miss Cott" for contractual reasons. A quintet date with Grant Green and Tommy Flanagan was recorded (September '61), but went unreleased for nearly a quarter-century; while the Les McCann trio joined Stanley for That's Where It's At (January '62), in reciprocation of Stanley's participation on McCann's live recording at the Village Gate for Pacific Jazz.
All of this activity may explain why Jubilee Shout became another album that received a catalogue number, then sat in the vaults unreleased for 16 years. Tommy Turrentine and Harewood are present once again, with the rhythm section completed by pianist Sonny Clark and bassist Butch Warren, who were heard together frequently on Blue Note in this period with Billy Higgins on drums. This would prove to be Clark's final recording. Kenny Burrell, who had played with Stanley on Smith's Midnight Special/Back At The Chicken Shack session, and who would shortly feature the saxophonist on his own classic Midnight Blue album, makes the group a sextet. On August 3, 1962, with Herbie Hancock and Roger Humphries replacing Clark and Harewood, respectively, Stanley and company had attempted three of the titles heard here without producing a master take.
Stanley's Jubilee Shout is in two sections, neither of which has a written melody. Each soloist begins by improvising over a one-chord vamp, with tambourine (provided by one or another of the Turrentines) adding a sanctified touch appropriate to the song title; then the tambourine drops out as a straight-ahead blues form arrives. Each soloist - Stanley, Burrell, Tommy and Clark - and the rhythm section are expert at sustaining dramatic tension during the opening section; and once the band begins to swing, the more compact sound of Warren's bass lines and Clark's lean, linear piano create a rhythmic profile distinct from that of the "Us Three" team yet equally effective. Clark's quizzical comping when the blues changes first appear inspire Stanley to some different ideas, and Burrell does an effective job of sustaining the vamp at the start of the piano solo. The band was clearly tuned in to each other, as Harewood demonstrates when he provides the two bits for Clark's shave and a haircut. This stimulating track fades with Stanley back on the opening vamp.
There is some lovely, uncredited scoring at the beginning and the close of My Ship that makes effective use of muted trumpet and guitar, and Tommy keeps the mute in for his bridge on the second chorus. The master take has very emotional work from both Turrentines, with Stanley especially tender on the last eight bars of the theme chorus; while the alternate (one of two previously unissued takes from this session) features a wonderfully introspective half-chorus from Burrell with some surprising melodic turns.
Tommy wrote You Said It, a 16-bar form at medium tempo with a warm melody, and scored both the theme and the backgrounds to Stanley's choruses so that the group sounds bigger than a sextet. Stanley's solo is typically well-paced as it opens with staccato jabs, blossoms into more flowing lines, and then retreats to melodic counterpunching after the supportive riff commences. Warren gets his only solo of the session between Burrell and Clark, and digs deeply on his second chorus. There is a suggestion of Horace Silver in the arrangement's framing pedal point, and of Tadd Dameron in the way the changes ultimately resolve. The master take of Stanley's Brother Tom and its previously unissued alternate illustrate the judgment calls that took place when Lion assembled his LP programs. The session log indicates that he preferred the alternate, which is faster and nearly a minute shorter, but went with the earlier take as the master because of its superior tenor solo. There are other delights on the master, including the section of the first trumpet chorus where Tommy strolls (shades of Oleo, which like Brother Tom is based on I Got Rhythm chord changes), the great Burrell/Clark interaction during the guitar solo, and Clark's luminous choruses; but the alternate also has strong work from all hands, and both takes bring the best out of the rhythm section. The last two of Stanley's four choruses on each take are supported by band riffs, which inspire echoes of Sonny Stitt on the alternate. The melody is boppish, and in true bebop manner the bridge is left open for blowing - by Stanley on the way in and Harewood on the way out.
Cotton Walk, a medium-slow blues by Stanley, has a main melodic phrase quite close to Benny Golson's popular Killer Joe. It features more supportive riffing behind the fourth and fifth of Stanley's six choruses and the last of Tommy's three, Warren's steady and inspiring walking lines, and a demonstration of blues mastery by each of the four soloists. Clark, who succumbed to his longtime heroin addiction early in 1963, sounds as good as ever in both his solo and comping.
The Rodgers and Hart standard Little Girl Blue was not scheduled for inclusion on the initial LP program. When it finally appeared in 1985, it was mistakenly identified as You Better Go Now. After the introduction, which Stanley blows over Burrell's rubato support, a relaxed ballad tempo appears. There are more effective arranging touches, with a unison countermelody by muted trumpet and guitar behind Stanley's theme statement, a tenor sax obbligato that becomes a horn unison as Burrell finishes the first chorus, and a similar turn by Tommy behind Stanley as the performance concludes. Another nice stroke finds Warren holding the original tempo as Harewood doubles up behind Stanley at the beginning of the second chorus. Lion may have felt that the mood of Little Girl Blue did not fit with the other performances from this session, though its after-hours vibe would have been right in place amidst the tracks that Stanley and Burrell taped three months later for the guitarist's Midnight Blue. Stanley also reunited with Jimmy Smith on the organist's final Blue Note album Prayer Meetin' (February '63).
CUSTOMER REVIEWSClick here to write a review
|Been listening to this set for several years now and have always enjoyed it. Turrentine plays with his peers: excellent bands, so its not just Stanley and his back-up band. The rhythm sections are tight and in the groove, and both Tommy Turrentine and Horace Parlan keep Stanley on his toes. Frankly, Im surprised this set is still available. This is very good bluesy jazz.
|The Versatile Stanley Turrentine
|This set of recordings should go a long way to dispel the myth that Stanley Turrentine was less than than a top echelon tenor. I have been a fan for years. I heard him at the Blackstone in Chicago and was floored when he started doing covers of Coltrane stuff. He played three sets that night and I didnt miss a note. The next morning he and I were in line checking out of the hotel and I commented that I had never heard him play like that before. He said in essence, I have always been able to play pretty much whatever I wanted on the teneor saxophone, once someone has shown me what to play. The difference between Trane and me is that he could stand up there and think this shit up as he went along. He was a very humble guy. This set does a good job of showing the many sides of his playing. The recordings are well balanced as you might expect from Blue Note, and the presentation is up to the usual high standards of Mosaic. Highest recommendation.
|Some of the Best Music I've Ever Heard
|Stanley Turrentine never gets mentioned by those "in the know" who tell us who the jazz greats are. I had only a passing knowledge of him & his work, & quite honestly nearly passed this set by. Fortunately, after hearing a couple of his tunes on the radio & listening to the samples here, I decided to give it a shot. This set is one of my all time favorites and I find myself listening to it all the time. This is great music.
|Fun set - the bands are wonderful, the sound superb, and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
|A Classy Tenor Saxophonist
|A rare gem! Highly underrated, A jazz meteor.
|Another great small group collection from Mosaic
|This album fits in well with the several other saxophone-led small group collections by Mosaic (Mobley, Donaldson Hodges, Stitt, Shank, et al). While Stanley Turrentine did play in the R&B and Soul styles at various points in his career, this set contains straight out jazz of the highest quality. As mentioned previously, he was a grossly underrated musician. There is good variety in each of the original albums presented in this compilation of Blue Note releases. The sound is excellent, as are the extensive notes in the booklet by Bob Blumenthal. Another winner from Mosaic (especially for those who like to hear their jazz in a large batch rather than downloaded singles). Don Seitas; Mill Valley, CA
|Good, traditional blues influenced jazz. Turrentine is no innovator but if you enjoy the more conservative 1950's Blue Note style jazz, this is an excellent set.
|Underrated Indeed
|I reiterate what some of the other reviewers say. This music is grossly underrated. Stanley plays with great command of his instrument. Stanley and his sidemen clearly enjoy playing this music and the electricity is amazing. Watch them spread out on some of the longer numbers. Highly recommended. Classic Blue Note Jazz.
|Wow what great music Mr.T made.I especially love his version of the Duke Pearson song Wahoo.He was a great tenor man.And Duke Pearsons arrangements are awesome.
|A treasure for jazz collectors
|With this box set Mosaic put another treasure into the jazz community. A wonderful collection, done with high knowledge of the subject. Every single detail is a highlight. First-class sound.
|Heaven Sent
|Wonderful collection. Jazz at its finest with the Turrentine brothers and an array of top Blue Note artists in playing top form. Thanks to Mosaic for making this music available. Pristine sound quality, brilliant photography and all the information a novice jazz listener like myself could ever want. I'm thrilled to add the Turrentine Blue Note Studio collection to my Jazz library.
|stanley turrentine
|brillant,every sessions is great!!!
|The Cast of Characters
|The bands Turrentine plays with on this set are fantastic. The rapport is a pleasure to listen to; obviously he's put in a lot of playing time with most or all of these guys. Very enjoyable set.
|most underated tenor
|I believe Stanley Turrentine is the most underated tenor player in the history of jazz. Stanley was the total package: he played blues, ballads, bebob, and standards with tremendous soul and wit. If you have any friends or relatives that you would like to turn on to jazz, give them this boxed set.
|Blue Revelation
|I heard Turrentine on the Horace Parlan Set and thought: "so that's Stanley Turrentine." Meaning before he schlocked out. This is more of the same - passionate, bluesy playing with great bands.
|Creative and Smooth
|This set shows what an extremely talented stylist Turrentine was. He played with such ease and soul; I never tire of it. Other cats may become boring for a variety of reasons, but Turrentine (and the great Blue Mitchell) never wear out their welcome. Long live Stanley & Co.
|Falling in love with Mr. T
|I've always liked Stanley Turrentine, but thanks to Mosaic I'm in love! So many different settings, from hard bop with Sonny Clark or Horace Parlan (who was a perfect match for T.), to full-out blues shouting with wife Shirley, to playing against Thad Jones' almost-out there ideas at the end. Too many great moments to list, but it all has the classic Turrentine sound and soulfulness. What a great blend of soul and jazz ability! Thank you Mosaic, and to those who love the "bigger" tenors like Dex and Jug: snap this one up before it's gone.
|plenty of soul
|Great Unreleased Jems
|This is a great box set it is great to hear Stanley playing in all these different settings he wasn't affraid to experiment!!! Highly Recommend!!!
|Mr. T - a classic lives on
|A wide variety of beautiful settings with one of the most original and soulful of tenor players. A truly beautiful set, thanks Mosaic for another gem.

Find More Science Experiments
All of the water on the earth is in constant motion. Water falls to the earth as rain and then evaporates back up into the air making clouds. Then the water falls back down to earth again as rain. This cycle is call the hydrologic or water cycle.
To see how the hydrologic cycle works you can make your own little model of the earth in a terrarium. A terrarium is a little garden inside a sealed container.
- a Clear Plastic or Glass Container With a Lid
- Stones
- Soil
- Plants
- Water
- Little Toys for Decoration (optional)
When you poor water into your terrarium that is the beginning of the water cycle. You essentially have made it rain in your little glass world. When you set your terrarium in the sun the water inside the terrarium heats up and turns into water vapor in the air. This is called evaporation. When the water cools back down, it turns back into a liquid. You will see condensation – water droplets – sticking to the lid of your terrarium. If the drops get large enough, they will roll down the sides of the container or fall from the lid – rain!
The close-up on the left shows the condensation that began to form on the inside of the jar after only 1 hour sitting in the sun.
If there is too much water just open the lid and let some of the water evaporate. If your plants look wilted or dry, try adding a little more water. It might take some trial and error to get the amount of water needed just right.
Here are some websites and books that give you step by step directions for making a terrarium:
- American Museum of Natural History: Make a Terrarium
- National Geographic Kids: Grow Your Own Miniature Garden
- Terrarium Man
- Chicago Museum of Science and Industry: Grow a Garden in a Glove
- American Museum of Natural History: Create a Coral Reef
- A Kid's Guide to Making a Terrarium
- Google Preview: Super Simple Things to Do With Plants: Balloon Botany (pages 16-17) – a terrarium in a balloon!
Science Experiment Idea: Make three identical terrariums. You have to use the same kind of container, the same amount of soil & the same plants. Make your variable (the thing you are going to test) the amount of water you put into the terrariums. Measure a different amount of water into each terrarium. Close the lids and watch the terrariums over several days to see which amount of water made the best environment for your plants. A terrarium with too little water will have dry plants. A terrarium with too much water will have plants with yellow leaves and maybe even mold growing on the soil!
Words to Know:
Terrarium – A clear container with a lid used for growing plants.
Hydrologic (Water) Cycle – The movement of water from liquid to gas (evaporation) and from gas to liquid (precipitation).
Condensation – Water vapor cooling off and changing to liquid water.
Evaporation – Liquid water heating up and changing to water vapor.
Precipitation – Rain, snow, or hail.

• Noise
In Community Gazettes
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed sweeping changes to the city's noise code, cracking down on everything from fireworks to ice cream trucks to nightclubs. However, as a constituent recently told me, not all of these city-wide efforts will have a local impact.
"Noise from fireworks really isn't a problem on my block," the person said. "The kind of noise problems my neighbors and I have are more localized and often get ignored."
While I applaud Mayor Bloomberg's resourcefulness in setting up the city's 311 help line and analyzing the data to conclude that noise is New Yorkers' top quality-of-life complaint, the information from 311 is not being used as well as it could be to solve the problems plaguing New Yorkers.
The city's 311 system provides only city or borough-wide data, which hides evidence of where local noise problems originate. For example, the mayor can tell us that noise complaints in Manhattan have increased from 5,000 to 5,050 in one month, but he can't tell us if 50 of those calls are coming from the same raucous bar or even a specific block.
311 data is also not shared with local officials like City Council members, community boards, or the public. 311 rarely, if ever, refers calls to the community board - despite their roles as local ombudsmen and their established relationships with local police, agency heads and businesses - their members and staff may not learn about many of the problems in their communities.
That is why I have drafted a piece of legislation (Introduction 174) that would require the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to provide local information about 311 calls - including the locations, types, and numbers of complaints - to local officials. With my bill, council members, community boards and the public (through www.nyc.gov) would receive monthly reports on 311 complaints broken down into data that they could actually use.
As citizens use the 311 service to seek relief from problems, they are not turning to their local community boards as frequently, and thus the city is not benefiting from the expertise that boards provide in problem solving. A 311 call may lead to dispatching a police officer to fine a noisy local nightclub, only solving the problem for one evening.
Involving the community boards and council members who grant permits and oversee zoning, however, is the most effective way to address consistent problem-areas. It is the difference between treating a symptom and curing a disease.
Sharing 311 data with local officials can also solve other quality-of-life problems, and can be cost effective. Last week, I had 30 constituents who live on a quiet block call my office about a rat infestation. If we had the local 311 data sooner, we might have caught the infestation before it became rampant.
However, at a recent City Council hearing on the bill, the officials from the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications said they were unwilling to support the bill, citing the difficulty in sorting the enormous centralized databank of complaint information and integrating data from older computer systems into local reports.
It certainly will cost something to create a larger database, but the ultimate savings in money and efficiency will be worth it.
Community boards were created in order to combat this kind of monolithic, centralized approach to government, which often leaves local concerns unidentified and neglected. We've seen a revolution in using local data to combat other citywide problems, such as in the New York Police Department's use of CompStat.
Noise control - along with many other issues - merits the same approach.
Mayor Bloomberg needs to use 311 to empower local officials to fulfill their charter-mandated jobs of planning for the future, or his next big noise complaint might be the combined cries of city residents whose quality of life is suffering from poorly identified local problems.

Allow Your Spirit To Soar
Those of us surviving chronic illness walk a very different road than most. Functioning, while living with pain, exhaustion, brain fog, sensory overload and more. Then add in the loneliness, isolation, anxiety and depression and you find yourself overwhelmed by it all. It's not only about where we are today, but about how long we've been here. Unlike some illness, when we speak of ours, it's in terms of years, not days or weeks. We all suffer the loss of things undone, lives not lived, events missed, and the days yet to come. Being misunderstood by society, friends, and family, can lead to a place of despair.
However, it's in the place of sadness and darkness that you find your true strength. You learn to flourish, even in your pain. You find new and creative ways to live. You appreciate the simple things of life that most people take for granted. In order to survive chronic illness, we must shift our thinking, concerning what productive, now means to us. Your limitations are, just that, limitations. We need not allow other people, nor society, to define us or impose their ideas of self-worth onto us.
You are a vital human being. This illness is not of your own making. It's not who you are. It's just where you are. You show your strength and courage with each breath you take, every obstacle you overcome, each time you learn new ways to cope. You are fearless, even in your pain.
When you hear those voices of defeat speaking to you, tell yourself that you're not defeated by this. You're only learning to maneuver on a different path. Realizing this is empowering. Know you're courageous, even when you don't feel you are. Know you're strong, even when you don't feel you are. Know that living life, in a different way, is not giving in or giving up. It's regaining power, that was already within you. You've grown and flourished despite, chronic illness. You show your bravery, by staring illness in the face, moving through it each and every day, with grace and perseverance. We walk this journey together. A kinship, of the heart. A combination of many different people from many different backgrounds, yet one in spirit. There is strength in numbers and for us, knowledge is power. Be kind to yourself. Respect who you are. Love the person that you've grown to be.
My wish for you, is that you will see this in yourself. That you'll bask in this truth and that this truth will rest on you, settle in you, and allow your spirit to soar.

Apples on Greens with Cumin Vinaigrette
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I love cumin in a vinaigrette, something my friend Sue had to coax me into trying once. All earthy and sexy, I think it takes the innocent perky apple and sultries her up a little. But don't worry, she'd never leave her best friends cheese and nuts behind. They're going out for a night on the town too, hence the sparkly lemon and cilantro. You decide if the onion is allowed to attend that party, sometimes she is a little overbearing. . . —Sadassa_Ulna
Serves: 6-8
Head Red Leaf Lettuce
Apples, any eating variety that's fresh & crispy
bunch (or less) fresh cilantro
ounces Manchego -or other mild -cheese
cup raw walnut halves
cup walnut oil, maybe a little more
tablespoons maple syrup
teaspoon ground cumin
teaspoon salt
teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Red Onion, sliced paper thin, optional
- Toast walnut halves in a hot skillet, stirring often, until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Rinse and pat (or spin) dry lettuce; tear into large bite-size pieces. Arrange in a large serving bowl. This will keep (covered) for several hours/overnight in the fridge if necessary.
- Juice and strain lemon; measure out 2 tbsp. juice into a medium bowl.
- Add walnut oil and 2 tbsp. maple syrup to lemon juice. Whisk vigorously until frothy; sprinkle in cumin, salt and pepper and whisk some more until thoroughly blended. Dip some lettuce into the mix and taste; adjust spices accordingly. This will keep (covered) overnight in the fridge if necessary, however it will need re-whisking (or shake in a lidded jar).
- Quarter the apples and slice lengthwise into thin wedges. Dip a slice into the dressing and taste. Add a little more maple syrup and walnut oil if your apples are more tart than sweet. (Or, add more lemon juice if the apples are really sweet) Drop remaining slices into the vinaigrette as you chop to keep them from turning brown.
- Rinse & dry cilantro and chop coarsely, measure out at least 3 tablespoons. Sprinkle about two thirds over the greens, and save the rest for garnishing. Chop the cooled walnuts, leaving some whole.
- Remove apples from vinaigrette with a fork and arrange on the greens. Toss just the top a little to fluff. Add the walnuts. Garnish with red onion on the side if desired. Stir remaining dressing and drizzle over salad. This can keep up to one hour in the refrigerator in its assembled state.
- Just before serving, use a vegetable peeler to pare the cheese into thin strips directly over the salad. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro, all the while fluffing the top and making it beautiful. Take photos and post to your favorite food website before tossing.

Hard wearing, extra large luggage
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
Hello all,
I'm moving abroad shortly and need to take a large amount of clothes, small belongings, etc. for my new life. I'm only going acorss Europe, so a large scale move doesn't make too much sense, but also packing in a normal sense for a holiday would be too limiting.
Basically, I'm on the hunt for an extra large (hopefully wheeled) piece of luggage that is flexible in shape (ie, not a hard case) which looks as inconspicuous as possible. I've been looking at some dive bags which are on the way to what I'm looking for, like the Manta Bag. I have a feeling a technical bag suits my purposes rather than a 'traditional' luggage piece.
Will be used primarily for air travel, but would want something to be my main luggage piece, so for all holidays, in the car etc.
And I thought, well cool tools is always on a good tip, so I thought I would ask, and see if anyone can recommend something hardwearing, strong, flexible, spacious, low profile, built to last and preferably black! Open to all prices...
Patagonia's Black Hole line jumps to mind. They've now got a 100L model with wheels. And a 120L model as a "normal" duffel type.
Patagonia's stuff is always very well made, made to last and created with both people and our planet in mind.
And if you've got stuff to ship that needs good protection, the Pelican boxes are pretty good. I've got two that I offer every week to the gorillas under the airport, and so far so good. Get them most reliably from B&H Photo (in the US, anyway).
I agree with Wayne, but prefer the North Face Base Camp duffels. Mine have traveled all over the world for 10+ years, look like crap, and are awesome.
Try RedOxx. Their stuff is all military grade. Also made in the US. Pricey, but overbuilt and well worth the investment.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.Tell us what you love.

So it's time to upgrade my GF's rig. The old Core2 era system does its job but it's getting a little slow for my taste and it guzzles too much power.
I'd take a mini ITX board, but the combination of 5.1 or better, three screen interfaces with one DisplayPort, low power and AMT with KVM can't be had. With micro ATX I could have it even rather cheap.
So I'm looking for recommendations for plain, very small micro ATX cases. Preferably without a PSU (or an efficient, good one), and the option for backpacking it onto a monitor with VESA mounting holes.
Besides the mainboard it only needs to hold a single 2.5" SSD. Being limited to low profile cards is expected.
Does such a thing exist? How many fortunes does it cost?
Hit Newegg or Directron, there's a ton...
I'm not sure that a mATX case is going to be all that sweet on a VESA mount. I think ITX on VESA is more reasonable.
A quick search found this. However, it just looks wrong to me.
A mATX case I can recommend is the SilverStone Temjin Series TJ08B-E. Its compact. You can't be a n00b to build with it though. This thread has a good description on what to expect with that case.
@ continuum
Doesn't look like that. Neither is there a ton, nor are they really slim. Practically all include the space for a 5.25" drive, which is comparatively huge and unnecessary.
@ Black Jaque
Yeah, I came across this thing and my reaction was the same. "This is wrong!"
Thanks for the link to the tower, but that's way too big.
Seems like the kind of thing I want only exists for ITX boards. So I guess I'm left with making compromises for ITX or could as well just reuse the big tower under the table for a third time.
Edit: I just stumbled upon this: http://www.istarusa.com/istarusa/produc ... XQBQ73d5JY
That's the kind of thing I was hoping for, but of course no one sells this in Germany...
What compromises do you think you'll be making going from mATX to miniITX for such a minimalist system?
You don't list add-on cards that you want to use, though a GPU might be expected, and a good MiniITX board will have everything else.
The real compromise with the form factor, at least with Socket 1155 systems is number of DIMM slots and the placement of the CPU in proximity to the PCIe x16 slot, which limits what coolers you can use with a discrete GPU.
miniITX cases with VESA mounts are much easier to find, and some will accommodate a low profile card.
I have a couple of systems in the CoolerMaster Elite 100, which will take a MicroATX board, but not with expansion cards, It is discontinued, but it appears to live in as this case.
Antec has a VESA mount version of the ISK-110.
That said, I did happen across this, which the monitor mounts to the PC rather than the other way around, but it does have the advantage of front controls & drive access.

Either 5.1 or better sound (GF requirement) or KVM over IP (my requirement).
Intel's DH77DF would be quite fine, but it has no AMT and KVM over IP support and also lacks the 19V input I would otherwise appreciate.
If I just take the DQ77MK, which I use a a home server already, I get all I want, but in mATX.
The compromise I am thinking about is going from ITX to mATX.
I literally will only stuff a mid end i5 and two 8GB DIMMs on the board and connect a single 2.5" SSD. A GPU's totally unnecessary and would only waste power.
I am starting to think, though, that a DQ77KB with a USB sound card would be an alternative.
Sorry, thought you said mini-ITX.
/me facepalm
continuum wrote:

I suspected you misread or something. Mini ITX is a cakewalk. I'd just order the M350 from mini-box with the VESA kit and call it a day.
KVM over IP? What's wrong with Logmein, Remote Desktop or VNC?
5.1 sound? Well there's plenty of MiniITX boards that do it. Asus' MiniITX boards will do 7.1 on analogue if you really want, or you could use SPDIF like everyone else.
@ HellDiver
There's nothing wrong with them. They just don't support out of band access for BIOS level things, don't allow me to boot from a virtual CDROM I supply over the network and the like. I don't want any PC in the house anymore where I would need to be physically present for anything, except hardware changes and feeling naughty touching it.
Given that I don't consider a low end CPU or a cheap board anyways, this is a freebie.
5.1 or better needs to be analogue. The receiving end does not do SPDIF and is not going to be replaced.
I think I will just ditch the idea of using a micro ATX board and go with a USB soundcard:
120 - Intel DQ77KB
170 - i5 3470S
40 - USB sound card
50 - mini ITX case
20 - used laptop PSU
This gets me an extremely small system with enough oompf for some years, next to no power consumption and the premium for CPU and soundcard are partly offset by not having to care about the PSU.
The DH77DF does 7.1, gives you a better port layout, costs less, and doesn't require SODIMMS or a power brick PSU.
You could use AMT, which the board does support.
Also, how often do you find you need to actually use KVM over IP?
The fact alone that I could do the setup with only a network cable and no switching display inputs after one initial activation of the MEBX is worth it to me
I found out today when double checking that one of the two screens in use only has a VGA in. I am now caught again between replacing the legacy item while I'm at it, the mentioned DH77DF for size or the mATX DQ77MK again.
The fact that the DH77DF needs an ATX PSU is btw a negative for me. There's not many options that are really efficient and small on top of that. The existing ones cost a lot. Given that power here is painfully expensive with a tendency up and the system will probably be running a lot with a projected useful life of 3-5 years, every Watt counts.
The DH77DF doesn't support AMT unless Intel have been very secretive about it. AMT is limited to Qxx chipsets along with an appropriate CPU.
Have you considered the Jetway NF9E? Not DC input, but it gives you everything else(including VGA out), and you can still go the DC brick route using a PicoPSU or similar. The efficiency difference is likely negligible, assuming you get a reasonable DC brick. There's also the Jetway NF9G if really want to go down the power saving rabbit hole, although eBay tends to be the only reliable source of mobile CPUs.
Checked my machines when I got home last night. I have the DQ67EP, which does have AMT support. I was confusing it with the system next to it, which is the DH77DF.
You could just go with a business class Laptop and be done with it. Dell's Latitude and Lenovo's Thinkpads (T, X And W for sure, not sure about the others) both support AMT, have low power draw and can easily be tucked away behind a monitor. Still not sure about the KVM over IP part, which seems more for your convenience than anything for the GF, but you are paying for it, so party on.
IIRC, the current gen ThinkPads still include VGA out, and have DisplayPort, which you can easily convert to HDMI or DVI. Latitudes come with VGA and HDMI (for some reason the E6330's use mini HDMI, while the smaller E6230 has a full size HDMI port...).

The NF9E lacks DisplayPort, which I want as I suspect it's going to become the standard in the next years. There's a display upgrade expected during the lifecycle of the box.
The NF9G and a mobile CPU are likely to net me almost no benefit by guts. And mobile CPUs are slow and expensive. They surely don't offset their higher price even at way higher power costs than I have.
@ PsychoStreak
Dude! I just looked at Lenovo's German site for a price estimation. A stripped down T series is still twice as expensive as my whole planned system! I won't speak about the W series. It's one of those, a nice 32" IPS and power for its lifetime.
Besides that, even if I go for an i7 to have four cores I end up with severely less speed. Then I have proprietary mechanical parts, likely higher noise, at least under load...
If mobility would be a benefit I'd consider it, but there's no benefit at all. (She got my old 12" laptop and simply has no use case for it, let alone something bigger and heavier.)
And actually my GF pays for most of it. I just convinced her that it's time for an upgrade because of lacking snappiness and the cost being offset by a large part through power savings. I want KVM over IP for a large part just to have it in case and for the initial setup, as there'll be a lot of installing and configuring. And because it doesn't cost extra, but comes with choosing the right parts in CPU and mobo.*
I also found this in the meantime: http://www.jj-computer.com/Products/Cas ... pc/Nu0526/
I've also found a test where they confirmed the 200W PSU delivers clean power and it is rated 80+. Plain 80+, though. I think I might give it a try and see if it is bad enough to make it worth to toss it.
* Turns out there is a catch! When I thought that I might want to get something that has the HD4000 graphics I found out that the only non-i7 supporting vPro with an HD 4000 is the 3475S. And that is not available boxed, only intended for OEMs and not on the official compatibility list for the mainboards I am considering...
So now there's a budget?
I mentioned the laptop since you're focusing on small, and the management functions you're trying to get are typically included in a business class laptop. You'd use the external monitors and peripherals, and the laptop would take up a very small amount of space. The portability is secondary.
Also, for the features you want, you're going to wind up paying more and adding complexity to the build (USB sound card) for that IP KVM.
Perhaps it's just me, but for this I wouldn't install the machine on her desk until it was completely built, configured, tweaked and ready to go.
That said, I do have my own Dameware license for support, so I get the desire for a "hands off" setup.
There's not really a budget, but I won't spend more than a thousand on a laptop that's slower and doesn't even come with a VESA mount kit
And the functionality doesn't really come for that much extra. I would have chosen a higher end Intel board anyway, as they are among the most conservative regarding power and I have very good experience with the reliability. The price difference between e.g. a DH77DF and a DK77KB is close to nothing here. The CPU is just a compromise in terms of getting a non-boxed version and paying maybe 20 bucks more. Even the USB soundcard would not add that much, as a proper laptop brick is way cheaper than a proper real PSU with comparable efficiency.
Getting remote management capability in hardware and hence entirely OS and software independent in that specific situation is really not adding to the bill. If the box ends up being replaced, at ~10-12W idle usage there's a good chance it might still be useful for something. For remote support it would also be great.
And yes, for installing I wouldn't put it on her desk. But I also don't want to have to fiddle around on my desk. Just unplugging one screen and a keyboard for a minute and then being able to do all the things in a window I can alt-tab into is much more comfortable than plugging around mouse and kb repeatedly or cramming another one on my desk temporarily. I might add that I have a WDS server from the times I tinkered more with OS installs and had friends' boxes over. So once a box has network and the MEBX for KVM over IP enabled, it literally only needs power and a network cord.
Initial setup would be holding the assembled box in hand, pulling a HDMI plug, the hub with the kb and the power chord, then turning my head 90 degrees for a minute to enable KVM over IP, as the non pivoted screens all use DVI and are screwed on, yanking the cords again and putting in on her printer tray, next to the power strip and switch.
But all that seems rather moot as of now. After her website has been compromised I cloned her HDD over to the SSD I ordered for her some weeks ago (along with some stuff for me and as a present) to make the virus scan go quicker. Now she's considering keeping the old box for a little longer. Gone seem my dreams of scratching the building itch I got
But sooner or later it'll happen. The heavily overclocked Celeron is definitely a limit as of now. But I guess if she's fine now, it makes sense to wait for Haswell. Power cost would have subsidized a new build, but not paid for it. The current one idles at 45W and peaks at ~100W under torture tests.
One noteworthy thing that might get a smile or laugh out of those reading this and having trouble with the wife acceptance factor is that she was not really looking forward to losing her Thermaltake big tower. And when I found this, my plans of a clean, out of sight VESA mount have been challenged:

Fair enough, although considering how long DSUB stuck around, and still is on a surprising amount of new monitors, I'm not convinced DP is going to supplant HDMI/DVI anytime soon.
The NF9G and a mobile CPU are likely to net me almost no benefit by guts. And mobile CPUs are slow and expensive. They surely don't offset their higher price even at way higher power costs than I have.
Hmm. The i7-3720QM is £228, the i5-3475S is £168. The QM has HT(probably not of huge relevance to your use case), same turbo and 300Mhz less base clock speed and the same HD4000 graphics. I'll give you more expensive(~35%) but slow doesn't really fit. But yes, if you're trying to offset the cost against power it probably doesn't make a huge amount of sense. A hopelessly contrived example of assuming that the mobile version will always consume 20W less than the desktop version would require an electricity cost of ~£0.31/kWh to have payback in 1 year of 24/7 use(assumes ~90% efficiency on the PSU side).
I don't expect HDMI or DVI to vanish. But I have a feeling that DVI won't stay as long as HDMI and given how prevalent DP is even today, in three years big screens could be just DP by default. Given that you can have it now and it's a matter of choosing the right board, I highly prefer to have it.
You guys in the UK have way better sources for mobile CPUs
I looked and I'd pay around 350€ for the 3720QM, where the 3475S is ~170€. But you have a point that the high end mobile i7s aren't really much slower. The different base clock would, just like HT, probably be irrelevant, as there's little besides peak load and a proper cooler should be able to buffer some seconds of load.
For the power consumption I would expect a very similar idle draw. Current Ivys are around 1-2W idle consumption and with lots of good will we could assume 0 for the mobile and add another Watt for VRs that are more efficient around such low loads. For the next year I would assume the average draw due to load to be around 5W tops, though. The 20W difference should roughly be as valid as the average load level, if we assume the 45W-65W TDP to be true. That's why I said I'd expect no benefit in a mobile CPU.
Given that the current Celeron is at a load average of 15-20% and only due to being used for background TV, an i5 quad would be just a waste for the next 1-2 years.
The power costs are scaringly close to mine, though Well, power itself is around 6Ct per kWh, but with taxes and stuff it ends up at around 25Ct, Eurocent, and is sure to rise further.
Most of the new PCs we got at work have DP and DVI. VGA is gone. They Fujitsu Esprimo i3 machines.
Sucks in a corporate environment that requires a VGA source - thankfully the good old DVI->VGA adaptors still work.
Most new PC's we're seeing aimed at enterprise customers are DP and VGA, actually. We'll see what Haswell brings, hopefully that refresh will let us kick VGA out the door.

Many UK shops, for example scan.co.uk will ship to .de and let's not forget amazon.co.uk or amazon.de - I got some pretty exotic components from Amazon, thanks to it's market place and let's face it, Intel CPU is not very likely to arrive broken in any case, the returns procedure is really simple.
I like the Cooler Master Elite 100, use it for my HTPC.
Pretty small but fairly versatile, there is a VESA mount but you can't see it in the pics.
The only downsides are that the stock PSU has a noisy fan, and that all the expansion slots are blocked by it.
There is http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ ... q67ep.html if you are willing to add a low profile video card for the third display. I think it has everything else you were asking for.

Manchester Crimewatch: Two men arraigned on felony burglary countsStaff Reports
April 26. 2013 10:52PM
MANCHESTER - Two men were arraigned Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, one charged with burglary and the other with criminal liability to burglary, as the result of a Myrtle Street resident calling police after seeing two men enter a vacant building at 2 a.m. Friday.
Ricky Brodeur, 39, of 537 Lake Ave., was arraigned on a felony burglary charge. Police prosecutor Richard Brown said Brodeur, who has previous convictions for burglary and receiving stolen property, was found hiding in the basement of the building, sitting on a bag containing tools for cutting pipes.
Brown said that after his arrest, Brodeur told officers: "I didn't cut anything yet."
Conditions of Brodeur's $10,000 cash/surety bail bar him from the Myrtle Street address and bar contact with the second man arrested, Evan Sanborn, 22, of 42 Clark Road, Londonderry.
Sanborn was arraigned on a felony of criminal liability to burglary and a misdemeanor of resisting arrest.
Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier said Sanborn was acting as a lookout and, after being tracked by a police dog unit, fled instead of surrendering immediately.
His bail was set at $5,000, with conditions barring contact with Brodeur and barring him from the Myrtle Street address.
Probable cause hearings for both men on the felony charges were set for May 7, and trial was set for June 5 for Sanborn on the misdemeanor.
Accused of child sexual assault
Terrell Thomas Wells, 28, of Riverdale, Ga., could enter no plea Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault.
Wells is accused of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl who was known to him. Police prosecutor Richard Brown, in seeking $50,000 cash/surety bail, said Wells admitted to police that he had sexually assaulted the girl. Brown said Wells was arrested in Georgia and returned to New Hampshire to face the charges, but there is concern that he might flee the state again.
Wells told Judge William Lyons that the alleged victim tells lies about him. As for the alleged sexual assaults, Wells said: "I've never done anything like that."
Lyons set bail at the amount requested by the prosecutor and imposed conditions that include no contact with the child, not going to her residence, and no unsupervised contact with anyone under age 18. A probable cause hearing was set for May 8.
Accused of endangering child
A woman who was found passed out and her 3-year-old daughter unsupervised in Livingston Park near Dorr's Pond Thursday was arraigned Friday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child.
Police prosecutor Richard Brown said Chasity Myrdahl, 33, of 236 Douglas St., was completely incapacitated when police arrived, so she was taken into protective custody. Brown said Myrdahl's water bottle contained alcohol.
In court, Myrdahl said she and her daughter had been out walking, and she had a drink. "It just caught up with me really fast," she said.
Brown requested $3,500 cash/surety bail, saying Myrdahl has been convicted of issuing bad checks, criminal mischief and shoplifting. Myrdahl asked for personal recognizance bail, saying she hasn't been in trouble lately. She told Judge William Lyons: "I'm a good mother."
Lyons set bail at $2,500 cash/surety, with bail conditions that include no alcohol consumption and no unsupervised contact with a child under age 18. Trial was set for June 5.
