Masterchef: The Professionals – Another Chef Gone And It Was A Surprise.
It was a pressure test for the final five set by Peter Gilmore and for once it was a savoury not a sweet. It was a Poached Chicken with Scallops and a few hundred other tricky elements to make in 2 and 1/2 hours.
Nathan was looking worried as he said he was rubbish following recipes and Rhys was just generally freaking out and was taking the turtle and the hare approach making sure he was all organised before he started. He used nearly half an hour of prep time just to read the recipe.
The chicken looked delicious and not that hard to make, just putting it in master stock if you don't do all the other tricky elements on the dish. The recipe is on the official Masterchef site here.
It was great seeing the professional chefs cooking the dish but there was not a lot of tension in the episode. Rhett was not impressed with the fiddly plating up and said he was a chef not a florist.
Also Rhys revealed that he had never picked up a syringe in his life and hated needles so his drug use was not as hard core as the viewer thought.
It was Nathan who was in the most trouble he did not read the recipe properly and pulled out the smoked oil and eel from the cooker 20 minutes early and added in a the juice of a whole lemon rather than a half into the eggplant.
At this stage he must have been hoping someone was not going to plate up. At one stage it looked like no one was going to as at the two minute mark the chefs were still pulling chicken from the bone but after prep time had finished the chefs had 15 minutes to plate up.
Sarah was the first to plate and she was told to get cracking on it as she continued to fiddle with the radish element. Her ginger curd dripped something that most of them had an issue with.
Peter said her presentation was not perfect.
Michael who thinks plating up is his strong point also had issues with his ginger curd. The judges thought the chicken pieces were too small and the scallop too thick. Marco licked his knife again.
Rhett stuffed up his curd as well however it was Matt's favourite dish out of the first three.
Nathan was the only one who managed to plate the curd up properly but his issue was with the two elements he had stuffed up.
Rhys looked upset with is plating up and thought he was the one to walk the plank but in fact he got dish of the day.Even though his was the last dish to be tasted Matt Preston cleaned his plate so it must have been good.
Nathan was eliminated as it lacked the subtlety and balance. This was a bit of a shock as he was a front runner. Sarah who is good buddies with him looked upset.
What is interesting in the preview of tonight's episode is Sarah does not want to be stuck with Rhett on her team. Clearly she thinks he is not a team player. The four will become the three finalists. The $200,000 is becoming very close to a reality for the chefs indeed.
Masterchef: The Professionals on TEN at 7.30pm Tuesday and the final is this Sunday.

I think Sarah said 'Rhett' not Ryhs… Interesting episode, I was surprised by Nathan's slip; I thought Michael's time was up.. I see Sarah in the final almost for certain, then Rhys can make it I think, and the last spot will be fought between Rhett & Michael. Though since it's a team challenge, I could be wrong…

Scallops AGAIN?!

Gotta say Mr. Gilmore's dish looked super yummy… tempted to try it out in his restaurant some time. Anywho, good ep too (I came a little late) – though it was a shame to see Nathan bow out. Highlights for me were:
Rhys – "For me the pressure point of this dish is… well this dish." LOL
Rhys – "I hate needles!" Guess he was more into the pill-popping and aroma sniffing variety
Rhett – "I'm a chef, not a florist." (though that would also be a good cover for a serial killer he thinks to himself)
Mike – going so fast he shredded the chicken x.x
Nathan – after stuffing up majorly "I'm hoping my plating technique can make up for that". When has it -ever- done that in MC? Taste comes first.
15 minute extra plating time is total BS, but I guess required in this case. +drama!
Sarah – one of her curds broke. She's annoyed.
Mike – none of his curds set. He's annoyed
Rhett – none of his curds set. He's annoyed but thinks "hey, if -I- couldn't do it then there's a good chance none of the others can either".
Nathan – all of his curds were awesome. Too bad the rest of the dish wasn't.
Rhys – dish of the day! Woo go Rhys!!!
Tonight, possibly the last team challenge. Rhys and Sarah vs Mike and Rhett. Sarah: "I'm worried about being teamed up with Rhys (why?)" – Rhett (to Mike): "We're both head chefs mate, neither of them are." I'm actually thinking Sarah/Rhys will make a better team as she likes taking charge while Rhys likes following.
Could be wrong but I guess we'll find out later!
- 4 Anna { 03.12.13 at 11:26 am }
Wonder how Rhett feels if he is watching, Sarah's comment in the preview how she wouldn't want to be working with Rhett right now….
Surprised that he survived that long, as most of his dishes are all about fish. Time for Rhett to go, some of his commentary and dead pan facial expressions have been funny
- 5 Joseph Skyrim { 03.12.13 at 11:27 am }
@Anna (4) – Oh, did Sarah say "Rhett" and not "Rhys" in the preview? My hearing is going >.<…
- 6 Ray { 03.12.13 at 11:43 am }
Yep, Sarah said "Rhett". And I agree with the other comments re: Rhett's time being up. He's a good chef but he seems to come undone when isn't cooking seafood and he's over confident. I still don't think Michael has what it takes to beat Sarah, and Rhys has managed to bring everything together at the right time – the end of the competition.
I think it will come down to Sarah and Rhys, and as much as I'd like Sarah to win due to her consistently good performances, I think Rhys has a very good shot and may in fact be the winner. As Nathan said in a previous episode, Rhys may play the village idiot, but he is the exact opposite and has shown a propensity to roll with the punches and adapt to ingredients/techniques he hasn't used before.
- 7 Anna { 03.12.13 at 11:44 am }
Joseph, she said it when she was in the car with Rhys. They'll be a team to beat.
Feel for Michael as he is stuck with Rhett (we are the green team, we sabotage ourselves)
- 8 Magda { 03.12.13 at 12:36 pm }
So far as Sarah's comment goes, I suspect at this late stage one might reasonably be worried about sabotage from team mates…
- 9 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 12:44 pm }
I seem to keep harping on about this, but Nathan did an awesome job to be a contender and get that far in the competition. Everyone bangs on about how young Bonny / Cassie etc were, Nathan was also in that category age wise but was able to impress almost the whole way through. I hope this show helps him get where he wants to go. (PS I have beard envy, by marital decree I am not allowed to wear mine that long. Sadly it is compensating for the lack of hair… but hey, it's not a bald spot, it's a solar panel for a sex machine. Fortunately none of you know what I look like, so can't enjoy the level of disturbing visual that would otherwise provide).
Prior to tonights episode, I really didn't care who of the final five won, and same with the final four. It's just great to be watching people who are skillful at what they do doing something I never could…
- 10 Chris W { 03.12.13 at 12:44 pm }
Given their huge egos and dislike for working in teams, it's hard not to see one of Rhett and Michael being eliminated.
I thought the all white dish on an a white plate looked distinctly uninteresting despite the floral addition. Given how long it takes to make, I imagine it must cost a small fortune in Peter Gilmore's restaurant.
- 11 Barney { 03.12.13 at 12:52 pm }
Yes, Dr T. Nathan was the same age as Bonny – 23. No simpering or tittering from him, though, and far more advanced technique and general competence.
Cassie was only 19.
- 12 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 12:55 pm }
Matty was 25… he was on Masterchef because he had a hat…
- 13 Anna { 03.12.13 at 12:56 pm }
Chris, poached chicken is part of degustation menu at Quay. 4 Courses $175
- 14 Phil { 03.12.13 at 1:28 pm }
was this dish meant to be hot or cold? I couldnt get it from the presentation…
- 16 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 1:49 pm }
God RR… $65 for degustation… do it, do it! (I wasn't sure if you were suggesting that was expensive, or if you wanted a la carte so you could sample different things). You could take two friends, or you could go on your own to Quay for dinner for almost the same price ($175)
Phil – yes, the dish was meant to be hot or cold… not flaming or frozen (sorry, couldn't resist… sarcasm is the lowest form of wit after all… Now if only I had an elevated impression of my cooking abilities I could go on MKR)
- 17 Littlepetal { 03.12.13 at 1:50 pm }
RR- I think it is only degustation on Sat night.
- 18 Daisy { 03.12.13 at 2:05 pm }
Sorry to see Nathan the Wunderkind leave the MC kitchen. He will be famous because he creates his own recipes.
Dr T don't be jealous of his beard, short and curlies should be off the face. If you must have a beard it needs to be like Rhys's not made out of public hair.
I love Rhatt for all the wrong reasons but I think the most consistent and competent chef now is Sarah. It would be fun to see Rhys knock it out of the park though. Is he really the underdog or just doing a good job of faking it?
Michael has been a sneakily quiet achiever.
Yes it's great to see the big guns at work now. No sympathy cards or back-stories to cloud the comp. Whoever wins will deserve it. They've all done a good job.
I liked last nights no-nonsense guest chef because he didn't act like a dick.
- 19 Daisy { 03.12.13 at 2:07 pm }
RR my comments are disappearing. I will try again in short bursts.
- 20 Daisy { 03.12.13 at 2:09 pm }
Dr T, don't be jealous of anyone with public hair on their face.
If you must have a beard it needs to look like head hair notlike, shall I say armpit hair.
Nonetheless, Loved Nathan the wunderkind.
- 21 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 2:12 pm }
I am jealous of quantity, not quality Daisy… I gots the quality, I wants the quantity
- 22 Daisy { 03.12.13 at 2:12 pm }
I love Rhatt for all the wrong reasons. I don't mind who wins but think Sarah is very competent. I think Nathan, Michael and Rhys have shown a bit more creativity, especially Nathan.
- 23 Daisy { 03.12.13 at 2:19 pm }
Mrs Dr T probably doesn't want to be staring at left-overs in your lush growth, and I don't blame her.
As for the head, plenty of guys are driving around with the top down nowadays.
- 24 Anna { 03.12.13 at 2:21 pm }
RR, go on Saturday night. Go before the finale is aired this Sunday or it will be impossible to get a table
- 25 EmTee { 03.12.13 at 4:18 pm }
Nathan came across as a genuinely self effacing nice guy. With his creativity I can well imagine him coming up with an amazing and totally original signature dish in the future. And as mentioned previously, he is still quite young which makes his achievements all the more remarkable.
I had a chuckle at Rhett's line about not being a florist but in a way that attitude reflects that he is no 'high end' chef, as with his seeming contempt for the julienne cut.
The energiser bunny (Michael) was certainly lucky that Nathan had more acid in his eggplant than he did in his batteries.
And yeah for Rhys getting dish of the day. Hope it wasn't his last hoorah.
Looking forward to tonight. I guess Rhett will leave the dessert to Michael. Wonder what fish dish Rhett will serve up this time,lol.
- 26 Izobel2 { 03.12.13 at 4:58 pm }
I'm going for Rhys to win. He looks like a cool dude.
That was such a fiddly time consuming meal for what you actually get to eat. But I guess most high end food is like that. The chicken did look nice though.
At least I don't have to watch Nathan's sweaty hair hanging all over his eyes now. Rhys is the same. I guess that's why Michael goes for the Hellraiser look. At least he's not sweating it up and grabbing at his hair all the time. They should be wearing hats or nets or something. Just not an akubra!
- 27 Anna { 03.12.13 at 5:03 pm }
Izobel2, most of the dishes at Quay are complex to prepare, but look simple on the plate… have the cookbook. Although this recipe is missing from it. Almost every dish will take a few days to prepare lol
- 28 Ana { 03.12.13 at 5:10 pm }
I'm so in love with how kick ass Sarah is! It's kind of not fair that she gets to be gorgeous on top of all that talent and awesomeness.
Something about Rhett makes me want to revisit my old psychology textbooks.
Sad to see Nathan go.
- 29 Daze { 03.12.13 at 6:16 pm }
Have a feeling Michael will 'carry' Mr Wonderful (Rhett)
Hope Sarah & Rhys win but I like Michael too
- 30 Littlepetal { 03.12.13 at 6:30 pm }
I like Rhett's cooking. I will eat at his restaurant any time. He is already an head chef and is doing well.
I would like one of the younger chefs to will and give them an opportunity to go further in their career.
I don't mind if the final 3 are Sarah, Rhys and Michael.
- 31 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 6:38 pm }
A point of annoyance for Sunday…
F1 GP is on – very happy about that. But then the Biggest Fat Person is schedule to start at 1845. This is on the assumption the race won't run to it's full allotted time (normal time for an F1GP is up to 2 hours from the start time, and there can be delays as well for other reasons. Last years race was over in 1:34).
We know Biggest Fat Person will take longer than the hour they've scheduled for it, which means MCP not starting until 8, and running for 2 hours…
I wandered past Jellyfish last year before all this got going with MCP (restaurant where Rhett is head chef). Looks like a great place to go. I was on a tight timeline so couldn't stop to eat… Will make a visit next time if he is still working there.
- 32 Carole { 03.12.13 at 6:49 pm }
It was surprising seeing Gilmore put up a chicken dish, I had assumed when I saw the ad it would be a dessert.
When they were all putting up their dishes and the ginger curd was slipping off, I thought well they won't be penalised for that since it happened to everyone. Ironic that Nathan was the only one to get it right, but it was the only thing he got right. I thought he was a goner when he didn't do the oil for long enough, then when he put too much lemon in his eggplant, I thought unless one of the others really stuffs up he is definitely going.
I was really happy to see Rhys get dish of the day, especially since he seemed so disappointed in his dish and thought he had stuffed up.
I hope Sarah wins too.
- 33 Realitysucks { 03.12.13 at 8:18 pm }
Tonight episode is to prove Youth will defeat experienced else why would they announce something which is subtly discriminatory. I think Rhett will leave and then all other people younger than him will be final three. Then Micheal will leave because he his older than the other two. Sarah will win because she is somewhat consistent and better than Rhys or everyone so to speak, plus she has to prove that girls can be better chefs than male chefs though in my humble opinion a) women don't have to prove anything especially if they are calibre of Sarah's standing and make a scintillating chef.Secondly, even if Sarah wins I highly doubt that suddenly females will creep up to dominate this already male dominated profession. My point is, whoever will win will bring this fortune solely to themselves. Any kind of revolution or any change is far cry and words of a good speech.
- 34 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 8:37 pm }
Salivating about the final episode… looks awwwwwwwwwwwwesome. Completely understand the elimination tonight. I was certain that the other person from the team would have gone home, but completely get the reasoning and the decision. Not upset at all
- 35 Moonstruck { 03.12.13 at 9:44 pm }
Dr T I disagree. The one who should have gone home is a lazy self centred individual. By keeping him laziness arrogance and disregard for the customer is rewarded.
- 36 Ana { 03.12.13 at 9:58 pm }
Meh. If hard work and talent were enough to cancel out sexism, we wouldn't have needed women's rights movements.
Sarah has a lot to prove because no matter how talented she is, she'll be constantly put into positions where she's shut down/overlooked solely due to her gender. That needs to change.
It's not as simple as saying screw sexism and let your talent speak for itself when female chefs have to do their apprenticeships/build their careers in predominately alpha-male run environments.
I think Sarah being out there, starting the conversation, and helping change the thought process within the industry will absolutely help others.
Heck, just watching her win her immunity pin definitely put a little more fight in me.
Every little bit counts.
- 37 brain dead dave { 03.12.13 at 10:10 pm }
Well said ,Ana.
This is Male$terchef: Professionals.
Rhatt's blow jobs for the judges keep him safe again. He's not called a "head" chef for nothing.
- 38 Anonymous { 03.12.13 at 10:43 pm }
I didn't like the fact michael was eliminated from masterchef especially because it was a non food reason. I like masterchef because it was about the food. He has been one of the more interesting characters on the show . Will watch on sunday but have kinda lossed interest in who wins now.
- 39 Izobel2 { 03.12.13 at 10:45 pm }
Well I'm on to my 4th cooking show for the night and Come Dine With Me UK is far and away the funniest and most entertaining!
Go Rhys for MCP!
- 40 Phil { 03.12.13 at 10:54 pm }
I think Michael was safe until the Pannacotta, that tipped the scale towards his elimination: you are following orders, and on top of that, your plate isn't good, then you go home. Remember, in MasterChef (until the grand final) you just need to avoid being the worst.
I like Rhett and his honesty and conviction, he believes in himself and his food. Having said that, I think he hasn't figured out (as Rhys and Sarah) the nature of the competition, that judges reward risk and invention over service/presentation. He won't win until he realises that.
- 41 EmTee { 03.12.13 at 11:05 pm }
Hope it's safe this time of night it's to talk about the Tuesday episode outcome now. ( Will still try to be circumspect though and name no names, lol, just in case.)
BIG YAY for the winning team! Am thrilled to see my 2 faves get through and deservedly so.
A shame to see the THAT particular person on the other team make it into the finale though. He did so by the skin of his teeth as far as I'm concerned. If only the dessert had wobbled things might have gone the other way.
Hopefully 'Mr Cocksure' (I'm trying to be polite) will get knocked out in the first round of the finale. His entertainment value is pretty much at an end and I for one would not be interested on buying any magazine with his smug mutt on the cover.
- 42 EmTee { 03.12.13 at 11:23 pm }
Phil: Rhett has the type of 'honesty and conviction' and belief in himself that only a true narcissist can display IMO. He has ignored advice and even shown contempt for the opinions of world class chefs and their methods at times.
He has shown time and time again he is not really a team player (unless he gets to call the shots).
Admittedly editting may have a lot to do with him being portrayed somewhat as the 'villain of the piece' but what we are shown is all we have to base our opinions on in forums such as this. And what I've seen of him I don't like much at all.
- 43 Littlepetal { 03.12.13 at 11:32 pm }
I don't think Rhett is willing to learn from the others because he think he knows all. Its a pity because he is a great cook. I wouldn't like to work in his kitchen.
- 44 Carole { 03.12.13 at 11:32 pm }
Yeah, I was annoyed Rhett didn't go home tonight.
It's quite ironic, that in a lot of cultures cooking is considered 'women's work', and yet professionally it is male dominated.
- 45 brain dead dave { 03.12.13 at 11:36 pm }
Rhatt's a serial double dipper. For me ,that's what Dr.Phil calls a "deal breaker".
Pigs belong on the farm, not working in a kitchen.
- 46 Dr T { 03.12.13 at 11:40 pm }
There was pig in the kitchen bdd… it ended up on the plate… then a lard transfer to jowlsy
- 47 EmTee { 03.12.13 at 11:47 pm }
"Pigs belong on the farm, not working in a kitchen."
So true unless their carcasses are working on being the best dish possible.
- 48 EmTee { 03.12.13 at 11:55 pm }
Re editting tonight: It is getting more transparent?
It seemed fairly obvious which team would win/ was winning menu wise despite serving delays. (Not that I'm complaining about the outcome.)
- 49 Nomnom { 03.13.13 at 12:17 am }
Amazed that Michael went tonight, however I think he'll succeed anyway because I think he's quite likeable. I hope Rhys wins… I love the quote where they are asked to pick the ingredient that best represents them. Rhys; an egg "because I enjoy getting laid" see the link here: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/michael-demagistris-out-of-masterchef-professionals-final-three/story-e6frg12c-1226595773994
- 50 Phil { 03.13.13 at 12:39 am }
EmTee: I think after watching many seasons of MC, the contestants tend to say more or less the same things, recycle the same speech. In this sense Rhett for me brings some fresh air with his candor. Also, he's been critical of himself many times and he has followed advice as well, but I don't see anything bad in questioning sometimes what the judges say and sticking to his guns, so far it has proven to be somewhat effective (he's in the finals; also Sarah&Rhys didn't listen to MPW on the fact of having two hot entrees, and it was OK too). So he's not that bad as a person
I do think that Sarah and Rhys are above him in odds to win, and are more 'deserving': have played good strategy, have more versatility and have taken more risks. Even if Rhett has a good day, I think at the end what weights more in the final verdict is the momentum you carried through the last two weeks.

I watched as she walked toward the Kindness Bicycle, stopping dead in her tracks, as the sign on the rear caught her eye. She stood for a minute or more, letting the words "Show respect all the time" take hold, snapping a few photos as a reminder. She briefly glanced at the other signs, but this one held some special meaning to her.
I watched her walk off, without having any interaction, letting her reflect on her individual interpretation, praying that a bit of consolation and/or inspiration was found in those few words.

Sequester Cuts 2013: FAA To Close 149 Towers Starting April 7 Because Of Sequestration
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday that it will begin a four-week phased closure of 149 federal control towers on April 7 to comply with the 2013 portion of sequester cuts.
Another 40 towers will remain open because the FAA either determined such closures would hurt national interests or because of a "cost-share" program of reserved funds each year that keeps them open. While the cost-share funds are subject to sequestration, the FAA said the required cuts will not shut those towers down.
President Barack Obama signed the sequestration law at the beginning of this month, giving the go signal for the budgets for defense and domestic programs to evenly share $85 billion in automatic spending cuts. If these spending reductions take place, which have been called a meat cleaver approach to reducing the deficit, this will reduce spending by $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years.
Michael Huerta, FAA administration, said the agency will work with airports and operators to ensure safety. Earlier this month, the FAA estimated that 189 contract air traffic control towers will close because of the sequester. To fulfill the requirements of the sequester, the agency must reduce its budget by $637 million.
"We heard from communities across the country about the importance of their towers, and these were very tough decisions," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement. "Unfortunately we are faced with a series of difficult choices that we have to make to reach the required cuts under sequestration."

The owner of a South Jersey bowling alley knocked down its only competitor in the entire county by setting it on fire, says police.
Loyle Lanes, a local institution in Vineland, N.J. for the past 50 years, was destroyed by a fire Jan. 11., leaving more than $4 million worth of damage in its wake. The bowling alley's rival is to blame, say police.
"It's just beyond our comprehension," said owner Charles Loyle as he stood in front of the burned out business he and his bothers built.
Steven H. Smink, 47, the owner of Loyle Lanes' only competitor-- Pike Lanes Family Fun Center in Deerfield, Cumberland County-- was arrested on charges of aggravated arson, aggravated arson for hire and conspiracy Wednesday.
Police arrested Smink at his home on the 9300 block of Verree Road in the Bustleton section of Philadelphia.
Police also arrested Felix Manzano Jr., 21, and an unidentified 17-year-old male, who both live on Frankford Avenue in Northeast Philly, on arson charges.
Authorities are mum over the motive for the crime and Loyle says he doesn't know Smick, but heard rumors that his rival would surpass him.
"We got comments that he would put us out of business in two years, but it took him a little over two years but to take us out of business they had to burn us down," Loyle said.
Police are requesting all three suspects be extradited to New Jersey. None are suspected of being nihilists.

Yes, it's been quite a while since a wrote on this blog. I have been so swamped I didn't know how to stop and talk about any of it.
July was jam packed for me. It was possibly the best month of my life since moving to New York City.
I wrapped the independent film, "McKinley", last week. It was quite an experience. It was so wonderful to become so invested in something so interesting. This film is about a group of boys that are left behind during a break at a Military Academy. During this time, two of the boys fall in love with each other. The students, who are studying Romeo and Juliet, begin to speak the original shakespeare text within the context of their own story. The characters are wonderful and playing with the text was so exciting. At times it was amazing how well the text would fit. Other times it was incredible how perfectly it could be flipped and approached in a completely new way. The main ideas behind the film are love and brotherhood, not fear or hate. What is so wonderful about the text is how much it constantly reminds us how universal the emotions are. The director of the film, Alan Brown, made this all work. From the beginning, he made the experience so personal and hands on. Our audition process felt more like a rehearsal process than the cold, distant auditions that actors typically go through for film. His attention to the detail of our characters and our relationships, on top of his general love for the project, truly brought us all to another level.
I had the time of my life shooting this film. The chemistry within the cast was insane. We all felt like we had known each other for years and we instantly clicked. There was a mutual excitement about speaking this text and wanting to make it work. I was blown away by how smart all of the actors were and how beautifully honest everyone was in their roles. Working with an actor as talented as Seth Numrich, whom I played opposite, just made everything easier. Recreating deeply important moments like the party and the balcony scene was absurdly exciting and emotional. I was on cloud nine and I'm so excited to see how it will all come together. Honestly, I have no clue what the final product will be like...but everyone involved with the film cares so deeply about it. I know that will make it really special.
On a more personal level, this film brought on such a positive change for me. I was deeply inspired by this project and reminded every day how much I love what I do. It's projects like this one that make everything worth it. I didn't want to go home at night, even after 12 hour days. The film motivated me in really positive ways. I enjoyed completely changing my look and getting in shape for the role. It got me out of my head and focused on something quirky and interesting. There is no time to over-think anything on set. You just have to jump in and get it done. It's such a focused, safe, and intimate environment. I'm mortified to see myself, but loved every second of the process.
I feel renewed. A lot of this energy carried over into my Feinstein's show last week. For everyone that came out...THANK YOU! It was a very special night for me. I won't forget it. It was my most personal and joyful show so far. I really cared about that setlist and was so grateful to be performing in that venue. It was such an honor. I have loved my year full of solo shows and I'm thrilled that they were all successes. This Feinstein's show will be my last concert for a long time (I think I did enough this spring), but I have been invited back to the venue and may return there again in a year or so if they'll still have me. I am so grateful for the overwhelming amount of support from everyone. Truly. I am so lucky to have such amazing fans and friends and I do not take any of that for granted.
As the title of this blog mentions, there has been a great deal of change within me recently and there is more to come. Change is good. It's damn good.
In about a month or so, I'm going to be moving out to the west coast for a bit. I'll only be there a couple months, but considering the fact that I haven't left this city for anything other than business trips in the past 4 years, it's going to be a nice change. It's no secret that I love New York and will always live here, but I do feel like I need to know a little bit more about the west coast and what it has to offer...beyond Nickelodeon boybands. It's going to be nuts putting all of this together (between taking the dogs and renting a car for 8 weeks, I'm already pulling my hair out) but it's going to be a good kind of nuts. I have learned the ins and outs of the theatre world since I moved to New York. It will be nice to be scared shitless again and learn some more about LA. The weather won't be too bad either.
I'm really excited about what's to come this year. I have accepted that I cannot possibly predict where I'll end up next. Makes everything even more interesting.
Here is a video from Feinstein's. Yes, I decided to allow recording in the end.

Sultonic started his musical journey as a child with a casio synth that featured a vocoder. Every since he was fascinated with music and music production. After graduating as Audio Engineer he started taking music more seriously. After his move the middle east in 2004 he worked on many productions for commercial and creative projects.
That was also the time when we was introduced to Djing. Back then there was only vinyl to play with. That was when he discovered his passion for house and electronic music. A few years and productions as ghost producer later, he decided to take the stage and share this love with the crowd. After a playing in Dubai, the decision was made. Sultonic moved to Berlin, where he was hoping to find a community of likeminded musicians, DJs and clubs that allow a variety of music styles.
With his residency at Revolver Berlin, he finally found a home to his musical taste and a team that has become a family. This summer will be an exciting one with gigs at major events in Berlin, Cologne and Mannheim. Producing music and creating edits for his live performances are still part of his creative musical journey.

Molly C. Quinn is an American television and film actress. She is best known for her portrayal as Alexis Castle on the hit ABC series, "Castle."
Molly Caitlyn Quinn was born on October 8, 1993 in Texarkana, Texas. She began taking acting lessons from retired director and producer, Martin Beck, when she was just six years old after starring in a local community theater performance of the musical, The Nutcracker. After years of weekly lessons, Molly eventually auditioned at the Young Actors Studio for representatives from the Osbrink Talent Agency when she was in the sixth grade. This lead to being signed by the agency, as well as Management 360, as well.
Molly's first official acting credit came in the family film, "Camp Winoaka," in 2006. From here, she was able to nab not only a voice acting credit in the Nickelodeon film, "Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom" (which lead to subsequent gigs voicing he same character in further "Winx Club" films and television series), the following year, but also a small in the comedy, "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story," where she played the role of the Teen with Pinups. She continued both regular and voice acting for several years until landing the role that come to define her career in 2009 on the ABC series, "Castle."
Since being cast as the titular character's daughter on "Castle," a series which wound up having a long and fruitful future on ABC, things have continued to look up for Molly. She has since gone on to star in such films as "Hansel & Gretel Get Baked" and the 2013 comedy, "We're the Millers," as well as continuing her work with all things "Winx Club"-related. In her free time, she likes to volunteer with such organizations as FindingHope, who devote their efforts to stopping child trafficking.

I've really only been writing reviews for local businesses that I feel I can support. This is one of them. Great service and very nice guys. In addition to my own truck, I've taken my girlfriends car (brakes and some suspension work) as well as my mother's minivan (new muffler and a broken Sway bar). This is one of the very, very few auto shops I've been to where I don't feel like I am being given the run around or gotten any "sleezy" vibes. Jon (the owner, I believe) is a younger guy that's super attentive and gives really good explanations as to what the issues are, what he will be doing to fix it, and the time/cost. He seems to really enjoy what he does, and it is pretty obvious once you chat with him. I felt like a "regular" customer even during my first visit. On more than one occasion, he has brought me in back to the shop to physically show me the issue on the car while writing up a repair estimate. This makes me feel much better about continuing on with a repair as I can see with my own eyes that a broken sway bar is just that. I've never felt as though I am being up-sold or pushed to complete anything that doesn't need to be repaired, which is HUGE for me. I am not a "car guy" beyond just the basics, and I don't like being led on, especially when high ticket items are involved. When my girlfriend picked up her car, she also commented on the professionalism. These guys are definitely not your old school, greasy mechanics. The waiting area isn't huge, but it is nice, clean, and doesn't smell like exhaust fumes or oil. They offer coffee and have a customer restroom (also very clean....Seriously, the only auto repair shop I've been to where this was the case). I believe they have a free courtesy car (I've not needed it, just saw it parked out in front of the building). There is some cool literature and "demo" parts out to look through while you're waiting, and they provided me with a pretty detailed service schedule just for my truck. I like to support local businesses whenever I can, and in this case, it definitely worked out in my favor. I've got a new go to auto repair shop, and I gladly recommend them if you looking for somewhere legit, priced well, and run by people that seem to really stand by their work.

Opera is the plural of the Latin word opus, meaning, "work" (each piece written by a composer is called an opus). Opera is often defined as a play in which the words are sung rather than spoken, but this definition is too simplistic. A better definition is drama through music. The music is a partner; it does not merely accompany the drama, it contributes to it. Time stands still at times for the vocal sections in which the characters express their emotions. While opera combines music, plot and the spectacle provided by the sets, costumes and staging, the result is much more than the sum of the parts. It is truly an audio-visual art form.
Although opera as we know it started during the Italian Renaissance, its roots go back to Greek drama. We don't know what it sounded like, but the ancient Greeks never thought of separating the poetry of their drama from music. The Greek plays were accompanied by strings or pipes and the words were sung or chanted. Dance was also part of the drama. The early church gave structure to chants and the accompanying music, supplying scales and notation. At first there were only single-line melodies, but later these were woven together to form polyphony (several different lines of music played or sung at one time) and thus, harmonies. By the end of the fifteenth-century, it was the custom in Italy to perform short musical dramas during intermissions of other plays. Small orchestras accompanied these intermezzi.
Court Masques, or elaborate dramas based on mythology or fables, became a very popular form of entertainment in the royal courts of Europe from the early sixteenth through seventeenth centuries. The stories were played out in pantomime to a background of orchestrated music, and the players were court members who spent lavish amounts of time and money on their costumes. Masques were intended to honor the head of the court where they were produced, and they were used to show the wealth and political power of the royal they honored. At this time, there was no real separation, as we know it, between theatre and opera, or between opera and ballet. These divisions started to become more obvious as musical composition developed.
Jacopo Peri (1561-1633) is credited for the first opera, Dafne, based on the Greek myth. Though famous throughout Europe at the time, it has since been lost. Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) is the earliest composer whose works are still performed. He blended the music and the poetry of the libretto to create a multi-faceted theatrical form. Such early operas were usually based on history or mythology. This kind of opera is called opera seria, in contrast to opera buffa, or comic opera, which would develop later. During this period, the words were most important, with the small orchestras providing a simple accompaniment. Separate musical lines were not written for the instrumentalists. Instead, they played the singers' lines; this meant that there was also no need for a conductor as we know of them now. Orchestras of the day usually functioned much the way current jazz ensembles often do; they looked to one player, often the keyboardist, to prompt them while playing.
Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the first composers to write not just for, but about the nobility and their servants. A great example of this type of work is The Marriage of Figaro. In the early nineteenth century, with the development of more complex orchestrations and the addition of more flexible woodwind and brass instruments, conductors became necessary to coordinate and mold the sound and tone of the whole.
By the end of the nineteenth century, opera was telling us stories on the steamier side of life among the lower classes, and the singing became more conversational. This type of opera is identified as verismo, or real. Puccini (1858-1924), who wrote his works during this time, gave us such important works as La Bohème, Madama Butterfly and Turandot. Opera is still being written today, and new works about historical and colorful figures are being performed throughout the world. Some of the newest works tell the stories of Harvey Milk, Malcom X and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Claiming no owners, the cats of Istanbul live between two worlds, neither wild nor tame - and they bring joy and purpose to those people they choose to adopt. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to the people, allowing them to reflect on their lives in ways nothing else could. Critics and internet cats agree - this cat documentary will charm its way into your heart and home as you fall in love with the cats in Istanbul. / 98% "Fresh" on RottenTomatoes.com! / "This captivating documentary casts a serenely powerful spell as it explores the extraordinary bond shared between the Turkish city's omnipresent four-pawed nomads and the humans who look after them." -- Herald Sun (Australia) / "Defined by low to the ground camerawork that captures feline grace and a ruminative philosophical outlook." -- The Sunday Age / Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3VbkBsMw-M

Megan Fox has given birth to her and hubby Brian Austin Green's second son. The baby boy was born on Thursday. The Transformer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle star's first son with Green--her former 90210 costar--is named Noah. Noah is 15 months old.
Even though several sites are publishing this news, Megan Fox has yet to officially confirm it via social media as most celebrities do these days. This is very true to form for her, however. It was several weeks before she confirmed the birth of the couple's first son back in 2012.
Shortly after confirming her pregnancy with this new baby, Fox said she was sure Noah would love being a big brother.
"I think [Noah is] going to be an amazing big brother with time," she said during an interview.
"I think he has an idea, but I don't think he understands that a baby will be living with us all of the time - that will be an adjustment," she added.
All children go through an adjustment phase when a sibling is introduced to the family dynamic, however most quickly adapt excitedly to the situation. For Fox and Green's son, this will no doubt be a lot of fun, since the two boys are so close together in age.
Brian Austin Green has a son named Kassius from a previous relationship with Vanessa Marcil.
"He loves to be the center of attention and I also think he is a really sensitive child. I think that he's going to be a nurturer," Megan Fox said of son Noah.
Regardless of an official announcement or not, congrats are likely going out from fans all over the world to Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green on the birth of their new baby boy. It will be interesting to see how long it takes before their news hits one of the new parent's social media accounts and it will be fun to learn what they name their new son.

Artist Statement
"Creating artwork that is realistic but loose, expressive as well as meaningful is an ongoing endeavor. The books by Kevin Macpherson have had a great influence on me as has the work of past masters such as John Singer Sargent and William Wendt. In landscape painting it is a fulfilling experience to be in front of God's great creations attempting to capture even a small portion of its beauty on a canvas. What I think about when painting is emphasizing an exciting play of light and shadow, an interesting composition, and enhancing a scene that evokes a deeper meaning or emotion in me. It is my intent that this depth and emotion I feel will also be communicated and resonates with the viewer."

Tough new rules to hit housebuyers
New rules on mortgage lending that could prove problematic for those trying to get on the property ladder are due to be announced on Thursday.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is expected to say that lenders will be unable to agree a mortgage unless a homeowner can repay it before they are 70 or 75, the Daily Mail said.
This could cause difficulties for people in their 50s trying to get a mortgage, as most loan terms are for 25 years.
David Hollingsworth, from mortgage advisers London & Country, told the newspaper that lenders would demand mortgages are paid off by the time people were 70 or 75, and said that banks and building societies were already starting to tighten their lending criteria.
New regulations will also include a crackdown on interest-only mortgages, a favourite of first-time buyers as they only require payment of interest on the loan, not the actual loan sum itself.
But lenders will now have to demand that homeowners with interest-only mortgages build separate savings to pay off the loan itself, the Council of Mortgage Lenders said. Checks will also be made during the term of the mortgage to make sure the savings fund is still in place.
The raft of restrictions are set to be placed on mortgage loans due to a clampdown by the FSA on irresponsible lending, to make sure borrowers can only take out deals they can afford.
The FSA's Mortgage Market Review (MMR) proposals will place new rules around mortgage advice and income will have to be verified in every application, with lenders placing greater emphasis on other regular outgoings.
A Council of Mortgage Lenders spokesman told the Mail: "The FSA has already trailed the broad outline of the forthcoming regulatory changes for a long time, and the mortgage market has to a great extent already absorbed and planned for them. On the one hand, this means that consumers are unlikely to suffer significant additional impacts as a result of the changes. On the other hand, it also means that the relatively high hurdles for customers in getting a mortgage are likely to remain a permanent feature of the mortgage market."
The FSA does not plan to implement most of the proposals before the summer of 2013, and an announcement on the changes is expected tomorrow.

In this groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free-market economic revolution, Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies. As John Gray wrote in The Guardian, "There are very few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books." Naomi Klein is the award-winning author of the acclaimed international bestseller No Logo and the essay collection Fences and Windows. An internationally syndicated columnist, she co-created with Avi Lewis, The Take, a documentary film. Winner of the Warwick Prize for WritingFinalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize
Finalist for the New York Public Library Bernstein Award for Journalism
A San Francisco Chronicle Notable Book of the Year
A Chicago Sun-Times Favorite Book of the Year
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year
Winner of the Libris Award for Best Non-fiction Book of the Year (Canada)
Finalist for the National Business Book Award (Canada)
A Guardian and Observer Favorite Book of the Year (U.K.)
The bestselling author of No Logo shows how the global "free market" has exploited crises and shock for three decades, from Chile to Iraq. In her groundbreaking reporting over the past few years, Naomi Klein introduced the term "disaster capitalism." Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment," losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers.
The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movements peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq.
At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years. Also available on CD as an abridged audiobook. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. The Shock Doctrine is Kleins ambitious look at the economic history of the last 50 years and the rise of free-market fundamentalism around the world . . . Klein provides a rich description of the political machinations required to force unsavory economic policies on resisting countries, and the human toll. She paints a disturbing portrait of hubris, not only on the part of Friedman but also of those who adopted his doctrines, sometimes to pursue more corporatist objectives. It is striking to be reminded how many of the people involved in the Iraq war were involved earlier in other shameless episodes in United States foreign policy history."Joseph E. Stiglitz, The New York Times Book Review The Shock Doctrine is Kleins ambitious look at the economic history of the last 50 years and the rise of free-market fundamentalism around the world . . . Klein provides a rich description of the political machinations required to force unsavory economic policies on resisting countries, and of the human toll. She paints a disturbing portrait of hubris, not only on the part of Friedman but also of those who adopted his doctrines, sometimes to pursue more corporatist objectives. It is striking to be reminded how many of the people involved in the Iraq war were involved earlier in other shameless episodes in United States foreign policy history. She draws a clear line from the torture in Latin America in the 1970s to that at Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay . . . Klein ends on a hopeful note, describing nongovernmental organizations and activists around the world who are trying to make a difference. After 500 pages of The Shock Doctrine, its clear they have their work cut out for them."Joseph E. Stiglitz, The New York Times Book Review
"With the publication seven years ago of No Logo, in the wake of the anti-World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, Klein demonstrated that the 'just do it' triumphalism of Nike and other global brands masked serious inequities and injustices. Her new book, The Shock Doctrine, takes the argument an important step further. Neoliberal capitalism, she argues, thrives on catastrophe: Not only are fortunes made from the misfortunes of the masses, but the global dominance of free-market capitalism is built on the infliction of disasters on the world's less fortunate. Klein developed her position over 460-some closely argued pages of text, plus meticulous endnotes . . . The Shock Doctrine is a valuable addition to the corpus of popular books that have attempted to rethink the big ideas of our post-Cold War age."Shashi Tharoor, The Washington Post
"The connections are daring in journalist Naomi Klein's new book, The Shock Doctrine, but the result is convincing. With a bold and brilliantly conceived thesis, skillfully and cogently threaded through more than 500 pages of trenchant writing, Klein may well have revealed the master narrative of our time. And because the pattern she exposes could govern our future as well, The Shock Doctrine could turn out to be among the most important books of the decade . . . Klein's book is well researched and reported, with a mixture of sharp first-person observations, compelling narrative based on sources and absorbing writing . . . The story she tells so very well is very dark, howeverdarker than we'd like to believe. In the Harry Potter books, creatures called dementors steal souls and suck all the hope out of the air. Therapy for a dementor encounter is eating chocolate. Though this book is superbly constructed and written, and in that sense is easy to read, the content is relentlessly harrowing. It deserves to be widely read, but readers may want frequent access to a handy supply of chocolate."William S. Kowinski, San Francisco Chronicle
Those of us who imagine economists to be mild souls preoccupied with tedious abstractions are in for a shock from The Shock Doctrine, Naomi Kleins stunning, polemic re-examination of the last 30-plus years in the history of free-market capitalism. If we bought the myth of corporate globalization as a benign and bloodless process, Klein has more jolts in store . . . Her research is massive, meticulously documented and laid out in fluid, accessible and intriguing stories . . . The Shock Doctrine is serious and exhilarating with buzz of inside information and revealed connections. The book is ultimately hopeful because, as Klein points out, the shock wears out."Katherine Dunn, The Oregonian (Portland)
A work of extraordinary synthesis, The Shock Doctrine is required reading for anyone who wants to know the roots of our current political and economic landscape and prepare for the shocks that await us."Ronnie Steinberg, Ms.
In her explosive counterhistory of global capitalism, against the glib accounts offered by mainstream economists and celebrity journalists, Naomi Klein argues that the answer lies in a simple two-step strategy, honed over three decades by an international cabal of freemarket fundamentalists . . . Her new book is a broad survey of its rise as a mode of development imposed on unwilling populations throughout the world. It is also a searing indictment of its practitioners, from the Chicago School juntas of Friedman acolytes who collaborated with murderous dictators so long as they professed enthusiasm, for free markets, to the international-development organizations that demanded shock therapy and showed little regard for the welfare of those who absorbed it, to the corrupt officials who profited from what they benignly labeled structural adjustment . . . The heart of Kleins is her arresting claim that the shock doctrine not only operates according to the logic of torture but also leads to the enactment of brutal repressionincluding detention, disappearances, torture, and murderagainst its critics . . . The Shock Doctrine is a massive, courageous undertaking, and Kleins impassioned critique of the violence that accompanies American economic imperialism is not merely necessary but urgent."Eric Klinenberg, Bookforum
"Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America's 'free market' policies have come to dominate the worldthrough the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries."AlterNet: Best Progressive Books of 2007
"The neo-liberal economic policiesprivatization, free trade, slashed social spendingthat the Chicago School and the economist Milton Friedman have foisted on the world are catastrophic in two senses, argues this vigorous polemic. Because their results are disastrousdepressions, mass poverty, private corporations looting public wealth, by the author's accountingtheir means must be cataclysmic, dependent on political upheavals and natural disasters as coercive pretexts for free-market reforms the public would normally reject. Journalist Klein (No Logo) chronicles decades of such disasters, including the Chicago School makeovers launched by South American coups; the corrupt sale of Russia's state economy to oligarchs following the collapse of the Soviet Union; the privatization of New Orleans's public schools after Katrina; and the seizure of wrecked fishing villages by resort developers after the Asian tsunami. Klein's economic and political analyses are not always meticulous. Likening free-market shock therapies to electroshock torture, she conflates every misdeed of right-wing dictatorships with their economic programs and paints a too simplistic picture of the Iraq conflict as a struggle over American-imposed neo-liberalism. Still, much of her critique hits home, as she demonstrates how free-market ideologues welcome, and provoke, the collapse of other people's economies. The result is a powerful populist indictment of economic orthodoxy."Publishers Weekly
Both admires and detractors agree that the late Nobel Prize laureate Milton Friedman was an extraordinary influential economist. Canadian Klein assails Friedmans free-market percepts as their exponents have applied them to a series of formerly state-dominated economies since 1975, when Friedman persuaded Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet to adopt his program. Kleins entirely negative interpretation of the results of shock therapy only lays the foundation for her books thesis: that Friedmans prescriptions require a crisis and are ineluctably bound with the application of violence. This perspective informs her criticismcondemnation, in factof reform programs in the last three decades that have aimed to separate that state from the economy in Bolivia, Poland, Russia, China, the UK, and elsewhere. The process of market liberalization, Klein maintains, has created a disaster capitalism complex, consisting of corporations that thrive on catastrophe; the author particularly arraigns security and logistics firms in the U.S. and Israel. Assiduously researched, energetically expressed, Kleins report bears an ideological perspective that wont leave readers neutral about her economic interpretations."Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
