Mick Middles (whose books on the Stone Roses and many others are well worth seeking out on Amazon) was the key documenter of Manchester music in the punk years. He watched as the city took punk and turned it into post punk. he was there for the growing pains of the Fall, Joy Division, Buzzcocks and the Smiths. This epic diary details what seems like a long lost time as distant as Victorian England but as still as exciting and revolutionary.
Two Sevens Clash
Adventures in punk Manchester, part two
We had heard of The Fall. Seen their shadows at the corner of student bars. Dressed as drab as anti-stars could be. Anoraks and shapeless jeans, straggle hair and distant smirks. We had initially approached guitarist Martin Bramah"¦.literally door-stepping him at the Virgin Records store on Lever Street. He proved suitably aloof, shrugging away our request for an interview. Shuffling out onto the street, closely followed by a earnest French music writer, over in Manchester to glean material for a book that we knew would never surface.
Admitting that Bramah had been stolen from our grasp, we stalked the dank, darkly-lit store, settling down on the aircraft seats to the rear, listeningàto The Stooges "ËRaw Power'; through giant headphones. That was the Virgin vibe, back then. Low lights, high music, sullen punters gathered around the rear. The hippy vibe continuing from the mid-seventies when we would be gently sold the hip albums of the day "â Little Feat's "ËFeats Don't Fail Me Now', Dr Feelgood's "ËDown By the Jetty'"¦.hell, we had even purchased our "ËLed Zep at Earl Court' tickets from the loon-panted croon at that very counter, his ironic smirk all that was needed to inform us that "ËLed Zep's' hip credentials had started to fade.àYou had to be careful in Virgin, in those days, for it was the very essence of downbeat cool.
Punk, it must be stated, had thrown this empire into a state of considerable confusion. Now that we spike tops àhad stormed the palace, the counter staff retreated from the defiance of their pro-Gong and Henry Cow stable. àTables had been turned. We demanded Stooges, Patti, Ramones and whatever English punk singles had started to leak out"¦Buzzcocks "ËSpiral Scratch' was stuck on eternal play"¦.and, to our astonishment, Buzzcoks too had become regulars on the Virgin seats, spilling stories here and there about encounters with The Sex Pistols and The Damned, holding court and enjoying the energising flash ofààrecognition"¦ofàcelebrity. Naturally, having conducted just one inept interview with the band, we gathered them up and placed them within our expanding "Ëmates' box.
Two hours prior to meeting Buzzcocks for the first time, Martin and myself had been downing double-scotches in a ÃÂ Deansgate pub. The arrangement was to meet the band at 2pm in a similar establishment, The Abercrombie, within lurching distance of The Free Trade Hall, ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ .
The abrupt whisky session had been an attempt to summon forth a little Dutch courage"¦for this was to be our first interview for the first issue of Ghast Up. As such, it didn't actually exist. Beyond aàvague notion at the back of our heads.
Up until this moment"¦for us, this precise moment, pop stars had lived lives on a different level of existence, wholly aloof from any recognisable trace of reality, jetting hither and thither; skipping from hotel to gig"¦allowing only the highest ranking music scribes an occasional glimpse of that rarefied air. Punk, of course, famously shattered this illusion, bringing the stars of the day down to the bar, lumping them deeply within the crowd. The flaw in the levelling was, of course, that (secretly) most members of punk bands yearned for a pre punk high life, while expressing the pretence of being firmly and happily "Ëon the streets'.
However, we were to meet Buzzcocks. They had, for godsake, performed with "Ëthe Pistols' in Manchester and London"¦they had even featured on the pages of "ËSniffin' Glue' and, albeit by Paul Morley, within "Ëlives' section of the NME. Obviously"¦obviously our naïve pre-conceptions were to be duly shattered. We had anticipated a meeting with four examples of super-cool glitterati!
Eventually meeting Buzzcocks proved instantly sobering. Sitting in The Abercrombie pub deflecting jibes from a clearly insane landlady and lost in the realisation that we were just about to spend two hours with a band"¦.well, we had seen them in The Ranch, at the Band on the Wall"¦ but the notion of sitting purposefully opposite a band of some fame"¦well that was an all new concept.
And so we sat nervously"¦.and as the doors burst open, four ungainly lads stood before us. Pete Shelley,àinconceivablyàgarbed in pink flared corduroys and an orange Cagoule. à.
Steve Diggle, oikish and bubbling with schoolboy giggles, wore a blazer, jeans and Dunlop Red Flash pumps. John Maher"¦polite, faintly sullen, thoughtful"¦looking for all the world as if he had just attended a Maths O'Level exam.
And then came Garth! Who the hell was Garth? We had no prior warning that Buzzcocks had added a new bassist, let alone one of such unlikely poise, stature and attitude.
He was, indeed, a grim faced and blessed with rugby "â player girth. What's more and,àas he would repeatedly demonstrate during the interview, a somewhat less than liberal attitude towards people from Yorkshire. ("White rose bastards"¦"Â), Buzzcock producer Martin Zero (Hannett) ("A twat. That's the last time HE produces Buzzcocks"Â), Paul Morley ("A wanker. Gonna batter "Ëim"Â) and, indeed, fans of the band ("Cunts! All of them"Â).
I couldn't quite put my finger on itÃÂ but something told me that Garth might not become a long-term member ofÃÂ this band.
"OK then" said Shelley, settling before his Coke on ice.
"Ask us some questions."Â
I glanced nervously at Martin.
He stared blankly back.
WE hadn't thought of that. Of the fact that a rock interview would require"¦erm"¦questions. Well, obviously we HAD, but we just kind of expected them to naturally flow.
"Well"¦." I shuffled nervously on my seat..what the hell was a good question to ask a band?
"Are you a political band?" I blurted.
To silence.
And then"¦a Shelley answer.
"Well, I live, therefore I am," came his reply"¦and somewhat smartarse it was, too, I recall thinking.
We allowed that to swill around for a while.
"OK"¦.erm"¦.what are The Sex Pistols like?"Â
"Ordinary guys."Â
"Well, no they are NOT ordinary are they," said Garth.
"They are a bunch of fucking freaks."Â
We àeventually bundled out of the pub and darted, like a small school of unruly fish, hither and thither through the streets towards Albert Square. Martin, adopting his role of "Ëofficial Ghast Up' photographer, held the Ghast Up Polaroidàaloft, àsnapping and peeling away rough, blurred images, half a Buzzcock head here"¦John Maher's left arm there, Garth's stomach there.
"Don't matter if the pics aren't in focus. I'll make a drawing of them," he stated, leaning mildly on his art school past. It was a curious trick of his, to demote a photograph to a roughly hewn pen and ink drawing. (When he made the same remark in front of Paul Morley and Kevin Cummins at The Oaks, Cummins "â no doubt somewhat insulted by the fact that someone might make a "Ëdrawing' from one of his photos "â creased with laughter.àSurprisingly, Morley leapt to our defence.
"No, that's good"¦that's artlessness" he stated.
I liked that. We liked to feel "Ëartless'.
"Yes, it's a deliberate artless state. That's what punk is. Tearing down the traditional walls and aesthetic structures. Creating aàrubble. Punk is the rubble."Â
I recall staring blankly at Martin. "What the fuck is he talking about?"Â)
Half "â caste Paul stood by the roadside. Forlorn. Lost in a trance, Swathed from head to toe in white bandage. Yellow hair. Light bulb dangling from earlobe. Looking like he had crawled from a swamp. It was Pennine Moreland, swirled about by mist rather than drizzled upon. Paul was complaining that no one would stop and offer him a lift. Who, we wondered, in their right mind would do anything other than immediately speed up while slamming shut the door locks"¦the sight of living-dead punkdom stretching towards your car door, as if in some downbeat horror flick. Of course, we knew Paul"¦an Electric Circus regular trudging slowly towards Sheffield. Steely intent on catching The Drones in proud support of The Stranglers at the Top Rank. A link had been forged between Drones and Stranglers"¦.the Finchley chaps seen partying in Stretford and Chorlton alongside MJ Drone and brother Peter. Falling down Barlow Moor Road afterwards, Hugh Cornwell lurching towards shivering punkette in true Stranglers pro sexist fashion, falling through gutters of Chorltonville, laughing in the corners of darkened bars telling tales of bands on the run. The Stranglers seeping into Manchester..never truly punks, of course, but we forgave them and basked in the shadows of their celebrity.
MJ Drone, Drones bassist Whisper, Steve Shy and, now, Paul, now crammed into my Ford Escort"¦raucous carriage, flashing speed about, swilling and beery banter. At the Sheffield burger bar, MJ would flirt with unimpressed waitress, informing her that "I will have to perform later"Â. Not entirely sure that she realised it would be on the Top Rank stage.
Good that night, though. New song, "ËCity Drones' slotting next to the surly "ËLook-alikes'. MJ, locked in a back-arched limbo, allowing his fly zip to spring open, two punkettes licking lips and glowing. The scene would flow through to John Jacques Burnell's machismo posing throughout The Stranglers set.
"Not sure about this sexist slant" I Told MJ.
"Not to punk"¦you know"¦punk is pro-women."Â
"So am I, maan,,,,so am I," claimed MJ, though none too convincingly.
We picked Bernard up at 7pm in Failsworth. Clad in a purple T-shirt, artfully ripped in the Richard Hell tradition, safety pin hanging precariously from his left ear"¦the back door of our car swinging open, slamming closed with Bernard sprawled on the rear seat"¦""¦quick go"¦go"¦GOOOO" he screamed in the manner of one who had just held up the local Trustee Savings Bank. He hadn't actually attempted such a thing although, thinking back down the years, we were not fully convinced by his tale to the effect that a loose knot of "Ëskins' had been chasing him down Oldham Road, flashing knives and cherry reds. We didn't actually SEE these alleged punk baiters although Bernard's state of agitation certainly suggested some kind of genuine escape.
The occasion was a trip to catch The Damned at the cubic Middleton Civic Hall. Hardly the archetypal punk venue and somewhat lacking the peeling downbeat splendour of The Electric Circus. Nevertheless, the sixties brickwork would soon rumble to the familiar ferocity of The Damned"¦arguably the most adept of punk thrusters and regular visitors to Manchester since that unholy night at, of all places, The Electric Circus in December '76. (Curious gig that, stepping in as last minute replacements for willowy proggers "ËThe Enid' (who had mysteriously gained a passionate reactionary following in the Manchester area), The Damned found themselves performing before a baying mob"¦a swaying mass of swirling long hair, greaser belts and clenched fists, all seemingly intent on kicking punk ass"¦and indeed, who better to attack than the unusually tentative Scabies, Varian, Sensible and James, who trashed as swiftly as possible through a set while glasses smashed onstage with terrifying regularity? That only Rat Scabies sustained serious injury "â blood gushing from stitch able cut in his hand, was little short of a miracle. One of the "Ëquaint' features of The Electric Circus was that, to get from dressing room to stage and, more interesting, from stage to dressing room, the artists had to leapt directly through the crowd. In this case, and beneath an inglorious chorus of "ËSHIT SHIT SHIT' . The Damned shunted through a gauntlet of crashing fists, spit, glass and splintered items of furniture.
"Backstage, a deeply inebriated Captain Sensible was found collapsed in a fit of demonic laughter while, not entirely tuned in to the Captain's absurd irony, Rat Scabies, red faced and seething, seemed more than ready to return to the fray armed with the sizeable metal bar he had conveniently discovered by the dressing room door. Downstairs the latent hippies scurrying around the dance-floor to the sound of Black Sabbath's "ËParanoid'"¦to my ears, this fabulous rumble sounded not unlike"¦well..The Damned)
No such risible angst at Middleton Civic Hall. Manchester had forgiven The Damned and, it clearly seemed, vice-versa. The mood remained ferociously light-hearted, the swirling stage-front mush remaining joyously rampant. We "â literally "â hurled into and found ourselves sprawling across the floor with a stick-thin alien glam fiend named Stuart. This strange-thing-by-night turned out, and much to the surprise of Martin and I, to be one Stuart Grimshaw, one time rather nerdy pupil at our old school in Bredbury. Through a series of unlikely and rather wild youth fads "â Man U hooligan in spray painted boiler suit "â lounge lizz in double breasted suit of the Bryan Ferry school among them "â he had arrived at a garish and arresting punk/glam hybrid, his legs clasped in electric blue spandex topped by sparkling yellow leather jacket. Even in a room full ofàexamples of extreme punk apparel, he managed to look curiously defiant. Men in leather and studs would eye him suspiciously. Stuart had been following a dream by hammering out basic chords on his Woolworths guitar. Soon his eye-catching appearing would add verve and spice to Alien Tint, a kind ofàextension of his post Bowie vision. They would flicker briefly "â alongside the equally glammed V2 "â of more later "â and spawn the heady young Martin Moscrop, later to emerge suitably funked within the ranks of A Certain Ratio.
The Middleton Civic gig concluded not with a defiant repeated chord, but an ungainly clatter, as our new friend, Bernard, wasÃÂ hurled himself from balcony to dance-floor in an act of abandon so reckless that, thirty three years later, it still seems to verge on the insane. Whether he was expecting to be cushioned by the crowd or not, I couldn't say. Naturally they parted instantly, allowing him to crash horribly onto the wooden floor.
Brushing himself down and, glowing with bravado, he ran towards us.
"That was fantastic, wasn't it"¦.are we off to The Ranch now?"Â.

What is the best thing that I love about my work? The sheer power of creation.
What is my idea of perfect happiness? Is simply to be happy. It's a choice we all make. Live every day to the fullest, as the first and the last one and make the most of every moment.
What is my greatest fear? To be a burden to the loved ones (completely disabled) and no longer able to create in any way or form (paint, write, think… )
What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? I'm a hopeless optimist and sometimes exaggerate, desired becomes almost real at times. And then, very seldom I fall into the trap of being overwhelmed by despair, as the bitter reality hits back with a vengeance.
Which living persons in my profession do i most admire? My father. He is an amazing sculptor, Anatoli Kushch (Katrakis).
What is my greatest extravagance? Being able to live in two worlds simultaneously: the world which I create through my art and writing, and the world of social reality in which I physically live.
On what occasion would I lie? Truth is the main pillar of my relations with people in my life. I prefer not to lie but rather to remain silent, if the truth may truly hurt person's feelings or harm them.
What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? Being unable to live without it. Since, it is not a work but rather a calling.
When and where was I the happiest, in my work? Every time when I work. In every journey of sacred creation and all that goes with it: the thought, the intellect, the vision, the feeling, the transformation, the imagination…
If I could, what would I change about myself? Probably nothing. I am who I am and if I change something about myself, I would subsequently cease being fully myself. Although, I could definitely develop some additional traits, like becoming a cleaning freak and keeping things in order and actually enjoying this routine.
What is my greatest achievement in work? I'm but a midget in front of a Giant (me) and I haven't even started to unveil my true potential yet. I truly think – "The best is yet to com", as Sinatra sang.
Where would I most like to live? On my paradise island of Milos, Greece where we have our little love nest, our home.
What is my most treasured possession? Memories.
What is my most marked characteristic? Perseverance, radiance and vivaciousness.
What is my most inspirational location, in my city? Our balcony in our house on Firopotamos Beach, Milos.
What is my favorite place to eat and drink, in my city? At our home with my husband Roman. Spontaneously delicious meals, cocktails, music, candle light, dancing while cooking and its 1am, but who cares. What restaurant can offer that?
What books influenced my life and how? Hard to name just a few, since I started reading when I was 4 and read non-stop since. Books and art became my "other world", and one influenced and inspired the other. Books inspired to paint and paintings inspired to write. It is still so. Among first books that I read as a child, which inspired me and stayed with me through the years to come were: The Odyssey, The Histories (Herodotus), The Iliad and Gilgamesh.
Who are my favorite writers? There are truly many, specially through all the years of reading. Among some of the favorite authors: Homer, Sappho, Strabo, Plato, Omar Khayyam, Rumi, Honore de Balzac, Robert Graves, Constantine Kavafis, Odysseas Elytis, Nikos Kazantzakis, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Costaneda, Mircea Eliade… from the most recent reads really liked Orhan Pamuk and Idries Shah.
You Only Die Once. What music would I listen on my last day? Chopin.
Who is my hero or heroine in fiction? Odysseus.
Who are my heroes and heroines in real life? My husband Roman and my son Marco.
Which movie would i recommend to see once in a lifetime? Casablanca.
What role plays art in my life and work? It is my life and work.
Who is my greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? My husband Roman.
Whom would I like to work with in 2017? With my two heroes – Roman and Marco, and fortunately for me I'm already doing so, since its already 2017. Working on the book of fairytales with illustrations. Project inspired by my son Marco and my husband Roman is my creative partner in it.
Which people in my profession would i love to meet in 2017? Actually, I know and knew (some unfortunately passed away, like Ultra Violet – muse of Dali, Picasso and Warhol and an incredible human being, and artist) a great deal of amazing people. I believe that, all the people that have to meet me, or whom I have to meet, will come to me on their own, when the time and the moment is right. As they say, there is a reason and a season for all.
What project, in 2017, am I looking forward to work on? I would like to complete the book I'm working on and the illustrations for it. Also I'm working on the series of posters (a combination of my current illustrations and digital art) with my good friend and artist Mary Lambert, better known as a famous Hollywood film director http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0005116/.
Where can you see me or my work in 2017? Usually all the latest news, projects, information, press and videos can be found on my site: katrakis.com
What do the words "Passion Never Retires" mean to me? It reminds me of my life's moto to which I'm truly loyal: Follow Your Bliss!
Which creative heroines should Peter invite to tell their story? Charles Rump (art curator, critic), Nikolaus Novak (journalist), Jochen Horst (actor), Mary Lambert (film director), Natalia Farrán Graves (singer, artist), Tomas Graves (writer, musician), Francesco Tiradritti (egyptologist), Jed Jackson (artist), Richard Bausch (writer) and Dimitrios Katsikis (ancient armor creator)

It all started when I needed a luthier to correct tuning problems with the guitar I was using to practice. Good luck led me to the Yagüe brothers' workshop. There, Mr. Raúl Yagüe accepted my request, fixed that guitar and made it impeccable. With the passing of time, we became friends. Then, the day came when I ordered a Yagüe guitar. I wasn't sure he was going to accept my order. His answer came to my surprise: "Do you want to build your own guitar? If you want, I'll teach you how to do it". Of course, I accepted. And that's how Mr. Yagüe opened up his whole universe to me and how I caught his passion for guitar making. He made me his disciple and he became my master and, above all, my friend.
For six years, I visited the Yagüe brothers' workshop. There, surrounded by wood shavings, I met people who ended up being very important for my life as a luthier. Raúl Yagüe introduced me to Mr. Juan Antonio Reyes Torres, another excellent guitar maker. He, too, opened his workshop's doors to me, and we still keep a good friendship. I was feeling Mr. Raúl Yagüe's and Mr. Juan Antonio Reyes Torres's support when the day came for me to open my own workshop. This was March 2009.
I feel very lucky for having met these two great guitar makers. Above their wonderful professional skills, I do appreciate their value as human beings, their kindness. I'm very grateful to them for opening up to me their workshops and, most of all, their homes.

Million Dollar Listing L.A.
Episode 11 – This Means War
by Vilzvet
Josh Altman nervously places a call, and this time it's not to a client – it's to girlfriend Heather's mom, asking for permission to propose. There was no need to sweat; Heather's mom is thrilled and happily grants her permission.
Josh Flagg is at a potential listing with Homa in Trousdale Estates, located in Beverly Hills north of Sunset Boulevard. This home encompasses 3,665 sq. feet, has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and great views of L.A. Josh knows the home is in definite need of updates and possibly a complete gutting as it is dated, but it has an unbeatable location. Homa is asked what she thinks the home is worth; she guesses in the low $3 million range. Josh laughs and gives her the good news: it is actually worth much more. They agree to list the home at $5,695,000.00 and this will represent a huge profit, as Homa's parents bought the home back in 1976 for a measly $450,000.00.
Madison has a hot new listing, located up in the scenic hills of Malibu. It is 6,670 sq. ft., 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 3 levels, panic room, elevator and infinity pool and 4 car garage spread out over seven acres. The home will be very private as it is surrounded by a national park. Madison would hope to price the house at $6 million, however, the developers are looking to receive at least a million dollars more. They feel there is nothing to compare this unique home to. Madison and the men agree to start at $6.5 million and see what the initial feedback is.
Josh A. meets with Ilan, an acquaintance of about a year, up in the Hollywood Hills at a newly-built home. It encompasses 6,000 sq. ft., has 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, abeautiful white custom kitchen and even a 2-story guest house, . The newly-built home has a decidely East Coast design to it, which is unusual for Los Angeles. The men decide to start at $4.5 million.
Back at Trousdale Estates, Josh F. meets with Marisa, former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, to show the home. Both agents already know this home will need to be either completely remodeled or gutted to start fresh, but the location cannot be beat. Marisa feels she has a potential buyer from New York that she will be bringing in. (And that is our token Real Housewife appearance of the week!)
The brokers open is coming together for Josh A. in the Hollywood Hills. Many agents are walking through the door. For fun Josh has even brought in a lobster truck to sell something the East is famous for, lobster rolls! Josh Flagg walks in to check out the house. After being introduced to owner Ilan, he finds out he used to be Ilan's Scout Master! He also is informed by Ilan that Josh FLAGG was his first choice to list this home, but he was never called back! Josh F. seems perplexed and doesn't recall seeing any messages, and Josh A. is giddy with this tidbit. Josh F. feels that the other Josh took full advantage of the situation and knows he took the listing away. Josh A. said it is not his fault that Josh F. did not receive the messages from Ilan.
Madison previews the Malibu hills home to several realtors. They all ooh and aah over the incredible views and location of the property. He needs to gauge that $6.5 million would be an acceptable price. Unfortunately, the agents feel the house should be in the $4 million range. Madison is concerned.
Back in the office, Josh F. decides to call Ilan about the Trousdale Estates home. He thinks that Ilann would be a perfect choice to purchase and flip the house, as he is a developer. Ilan is quite interested in looking at the property. If Ilan purchases the home, Josh tells him he could probably flip the house for as much as $15 million. They make a date for the next day. Ilan and his parter Ash visit the home for an inspection. They like the home and certainly would be interested in flipping the home, but as it stands the asking price is a big high. Josh also clarifies with Ilan that his rival Josh Altman is not Ilan's exclusive rep for all real estate deals. Ilan said not at this point, which mean Josh would not be stepping on his rival's toes in this deal. Josh would be making a five percent commission on this home since he is representing the potential buyer AND seller, a unique situation.
Back in Malibu, Madison places a call to the owner Joshua, passing on the brokers' opinions on pricing the home. Madison feels that $6 million is the most they should be listing the house. Joshua reluctantly agrees and promises the house will be finished with all construction before buyers are brought in.
Josh F. heads back to Trousdale to meet with Homa, the homeowner. The offer that Ilan and his partner have brought is $4.8 million. Homa would really want an offer starting at $5 million. Since Josh is representing BOTH sides in this deal, he is forced by law to remain neutral. They decide to counter offer at $5,480,000.00.
Josh A. continues to show the Hollywood Hills East Coast-style home to eager viewers. Most people are loving the charm and style.
Josh invites his assistants Matt and Billy into the conference room to witness the counter offer on Trousdale to Ilan. This will be a good learning experience for them. Josh phones Ilan and gives him the counter offer of $5.48 million. Ilan says that is quite high and counters back at $5,150,000.00. When he phones Homa with the new price, she instructs Josh to counter back at $5,300,000.00. He calls Ilan again; by keeping his neutral stance, Josh is simply letting his clients come up with the new prices on their own. Ilan is getting frustrated but makes a final counter offer of $5.25 million, which is what Josh was hoping for. Homa still feels this is too low. Josh is kicking himself, because when he first sat down with Homa, she didn't even think her home was worth $3.5 million. Josh was the one who told her it was worth much more! He never thought he would be representing a buyer too! Yikes.
Homa is waffling about even keeping this deal going. Josh decides to tell Homa he would be willing to kick back his 2.5% commission to Homa so she would net more in the sale. She is pleasantly surprised, and then and there decides to accept the deal! It is worth it to Josh to do this because it would be good for future business relationships with both Homa and Ilan. Matt and Billy are a bit surprised that Josh would be happy giving up over $131,000.00 in commission, but Josh feels it would be worth it. Josh calls Ilan and gives him the happy news.
The Malibu home is finally finished! Madison has a brokers' open in full swing. The home looks stunning now that is fully completed. Everyone gets a kick out of the panic room, too. The consensus seems to be that $6 million is not out of the question for this unique home.
Josh F. sits down to dinner with his adorable grandmother Edith. He has to inform her that he and Colton have sold their condo in Edith's building, and he will no longer be her neighbor. She says she will be very unhappy and will not call him anymore if this happens. He hopes she is just joking. She relents and says that as long as he is happy living elsewhere, it is okay. Josh knows he will miss her terribly now that he can't just pop up to the penthouse when she calls.
Josh A. has an offer of $4.3 million to present to Ilan for the East Coast-style home. They decide to counter back at the FULL asking price, no negotation. After a few minutes, they get a return call, and the deal is done! A new sales record has been shattered on that street, and Josh is ecstatic. When Josh immediately asks Ilan if he has any other properties in mind to buy for the future, Ilan admits he JUST closed a deal with rival Josh F. in Trousdale. Josh A. is surprised and questions Ilan, who said it was a sudden situation and a decision had to be made quickly. Josh tells Ilan that his rival Josh F. was doing this out of spite and basically poached Ilan from him. Josh is so annoyed he leaves Ilan and tells him that he will speak to him later.
Madison is continuing to show the Malibu property to eager buyers. At $6 million, it is pricey but the views seem to be the top selling point as they are to die for.
A furious Josh A. is on a mission to confront Josh F. regarding the Ilan situation. He finds Mr. Flagg at a listing and the two men immediately begin to argue. Josh A. accuses Josh F. of not only poaching Ilan, but of being lazy and just doing real estate as a hobby, not a career. (It's no secret that Mr. Altman has been jealous of Flagg for years.) Altman even brings up Josh"s beloved grandmother Edith, sniping that Flagg will never work as hard as she did. Flagg immediately slaps Altman full in the face! End of episode.
We will have to wait until the finale next week to find out what happens…will we see Josh Altman's proposal to Heather also?
Top Chef New Orleans (S11E3) by BB
Hey, Y'all. This week's N'Awlins phrases are "Peench the Tails" and "Suck the Heads" (the first and second ways to eat Crayfish there). Now let's get to cookin'.
17 Chefs and counting. Editor in Chief of Food and Wine Magazine, Dana Cowin will be the guest judge for the Quickfire Challenge, along with Padma and Emeril. The chefs pick a knife that contains a food trend that Dana thinks is past its prime. They will have to create a dish that reinvents this popular food trend. The food trends the chefs will be working with are Eggs over everything, Bacon, Smoked, and Kale. Dana advises the chefs to avoid making Kale salad or Kale chips. They have 30 minutes and one of them will be getting eliminated and one will be getting immunity.
The chefs who have the food trend Smoked are Sara, Janine, Louis, and Michael. Shirley, Nina, Nicholas and Carrie have Eggs over everything. Bene, Brian, Travis, Carlos, and Stephanie have Bacon. Patty, Justin, Brett, and Aaron have Kale. The favorites are Nina, Shirley, and Stephanie. The winner is Shirley and she will have immunity in the elimination challenge. The least favorites are Brett (who made a Kale salad even though they were told not to), Louis and Aaron (too much salt). Aaron is eliminated, which surprises the other chefs considering his background. I guess we'll see him in the Last Chance Kitchen.
The elimination challenge will be taking place at the Commander's Palace, a famous restaurant in New Orleans. They will all be dining there that evening. At the Commander's Palace, Tory McPhail, the Executive Chef,comes out to explain the challenge. The challenge will be to replicate a classic Commander's Palace dish. They will try a dish that night and try to make the same exact dish the next day. This will test their palate, attention to detail and the ability to replicate. The dishes they are served that night are: Shrimp and Tasso Henican created by Chef Jamie Shannon; Black Skillet Seared Trout created by Chef Paul Prudhomme; Veal Chop Tchoupitoulas created by Chef Emeril Legasse; and for dessert, Strawberry Trio created by Chef Tory McPhail.
They will be cooking in the groups where they are seated for dinner. Table number one (Louis, Nicholas, Janine and Carlos) will be responsible for cooking the Black Skillet Seared Trout. Table number two (Michael, Nina, Bene, and Travis) will be making the Shrimp and Tasso Henican. Table number three (Brian, Shirley, Bret and Patty) will be making the Veal Chop Tchoupitoulas. Table number four (Carrie, Justin, Stephanie and Sara) will be making the Strawberry Trio. The Commander's Palace chef will be making every dish so there can be side by side comparisons. Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme will be present to taste their creations.
The next day the chefs take over the Commander's Palace kitchen. The chefs think it's much harder to try to replicate other chef's dishes than to cook their own. I'm only going to talk about any crises that happen during the preparation of these dishes. Louis has problems with Cajun spices. The biscuit making process is not going well either. I always get tickled when I see chefs trying to make a dessert. Desserts seems to be the hardest challenges for contestants on Top Chef. Space is also a problem for the chefs. Nina accidentally took Michael's plates.
Meantime all the dignitaries show up for their dinner, along with the judges. Included are the regular judges Tom, Padma and Hugh, plus Emeril, Ti Martin (proprietor of the restaurant), Tory Mcphail, and Paul Prudhomme. The first course is the Shrimp dish. It seems the judges like Nina's shrimp, Bene's sauce and Michael's presentation and if combined, would have made the perfect dish. They thought Travis missed the mark completely.
The second course is the Blackened Trout. Hugh and a couple of the others liked Janine's dish the best. Tom thought they were all under-seasoned. Nicholas' dish is light on one end and dark on the other with lots of sauce. Louis' is overcooked and bland. Bland seems to be the key word with this group. They think Carlos' skillet was too hot and his is overcooked to the point of almost being burnt. Padma reminds them how difficult this challenge is because not only do they have to replicate dishes, the creators are sitting at the table.
Next up is the Veal Chop Tchoupitoulas. Shirley has lost her yellow beets! This is Emeril's dish. Brian's vegetables are raw. Patty's presentation is good and her veal is nicely cooked. Some of Shirley's veal chops are too well done. Bret may be the closest to replicating, but his dish looks messy and Emeril says "there's no love." It's not seared and a couple of his veal chops are overcooked. Hugh says they didn't have a lot of time to get this dish done. Tom looks at him funny and Hugh asks him if he wants to roll up his sleeves and do it because he's game.
Last but not least is the Strawberry Trio. These chefs look beat when they're finished. Sara's was greasy and she had an obliterated biscuit. They like Carrie's and Justin's. They also like Stephanie's biscuits, with one judge saying they are even better than the Commander's biscuits. The judges call this the best course of the night. Will the winner be coming from this group?
In the stew room, the chefs watch the judges deliberate. They talk about seasoning and that the best dishes are the desserts. They praise Justin and Stephanie. They talk about who struggled. They mention Louis, Carlos, and Bret's presentation. Padma asks Justin, Stephanie and Nina to come into the judging room. They came the closest to the Commander's Palace originals. Justin was nominated for the same James Beard award that Chef Tory McPhail won. They announce Justin as the winner.
Next come the chefs with the least favorite dishes – Louis, Carlos and Brett. They find out Louis made the seasoning blend for his whole group. That explains a lot about everything being bland. Tom is surprised the others let Louis make the seasoning for their food. Carlos owns his burnt food. Brett makes excuses about being last on the grill and trouble plating his meal. Padma tells Brett to pack his knives and go. The eliminated group consists of men only so far.
The Big Bang Theory
"The Workplace Proximity"
By Stars99
Sheldon and Amy are eating dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. As Penny (their waitress) is pouring water into their water glasses, she observes that there is an awkward silence, Sheldon is on his phone, and nobody's touching. Penny deduces and in a singsong teasing voice says, "Awwww…. Somebody's having date night!" Amy quickly assures her it's much steamier than it appears because Sheldon is looking up the phallic symbolism of root vegetables found in Renaissance paintings. Sheldon clarifies and tells them that actually, he got bored of that search and is now browsing for cuticle scissors on Amazon. After hearing that piece of information, Penny wonders aloud at how she's surprised that Amy doesn't want to tear off Sheldon's clothes right then and there, and, "Take him right here on this table." Sheldon warms, "If you do that, I'll scream!"
During dinner, Amy breaks the news to Sheldon that she's been invited to consult on a special project at the facility where he works. Sheldon thought that finding out that his new pair of cuticle scissors would arrive within 1-2 days was way more exciting than that piece of news. Amy wonders if Sheldon is okay with her working at his facility. Amy is concerned because the project would have them work in close proximity to each other. Amy tells Sheldon that the old adage that, "One shouldn't defecate where one eats" came to her mind. Sheldon tells her his dad used to say that – and that he also used to say, "Who does one have to orally gratify to get a drink around here?" Realizing that Sheldon obviously doesn't understand the meaning behind the saying, Amy explains it to Sheldon. Amy says, "It means – Don't have a romantic relationship in the workplace." "Really?" Sheldon dryly exclaims. Sheldon ponders further and says, "Hmmm, I always took it literally. That's why I've never once moved my bowels in this or any restaurant." Amy tells Sheldon that she's relieved he doesn't have a problem with them working together. After realizing he was wrong all this time about his literal interpretation of the adage, Sheldon tells Amyt that she's not as "relieved" as he's going to be in a minute – as he leaves to actually go "relieve" himself). Sheldon tells Amy, "It's a whole new world, little lady."
Back at Sheldon and Leonard's apartment, the four guys are playing the card game, "Mystic Warlords of Ka'a" and in between turns Howard is telling Sheldon that he shouldn't want his girlfriend at work with him. Raj disagrees and says that it could be romantic because his parents met at his dad's place of work. Leonard said, "But your dad is a gynecologist." Raj said, "Yeah, what started out as a pap smear turned into a date, which turned into her working there, which turned into a marriage, and then turned into hatred which continues to this day."
On the other hand, Leonard is thinking this whole Amy working with Sheldon thing may work towards Leonard's own benefit since Amy will then be able to do all the weird Sheldon things Leonard had been stuck doing for Sheldon all this time. For instance, Amy will be able to put drops in Sheldon's eyes the next time he has conjunctivitis. As Leonard plays his next card, he dramatically says, "Big Baby." Sheldon corrects him, points out there's a different image on the card, and says, "It's a raging ogre." Obviously, Leonard was not describing the card he was actually playing, but instead was describing the big baby with whom he's playing cards. Leonard says, "Yeah, I know." Sheldon is not concerned about working with Amy because he assumes he will deduct all the minutes of time that he sees her at work from their "weekly quota." Leonard begs Sheldon to let him be there when Sheldon tells Amy that piece of information.
Amy, Bernadette and Penny are in Penny's apartment talking about Amy's special project. Amy goes into a quick scientific description of her project. All of the sudden, Penny surprisingly says, "You know, not a lot of people know this, but the Monoamine oxidase enzyme was discovered by a woman, Mary Burnheim." Amy and Bernadette look astonished and like they're about to fall off their chairs. It was like Penny just grabbed that information out of thin air. Penny says, "That's right, my phone is just as smart as you guys!"
You then hear Sheldon's trademark trio of knocks at Penny's front door, except that he's added to his usual verbal greeting. It goes something like this: [Knock, knock, knock] "Amy, Bernadette, Penny!" [Knock, knock, knock] "Amy, Bernadette, Penny!" [Knock, knock, knock] "Amy, Bernadette, Penny." As she's answering the door, Amy tells the others that she doesn't mind Sheldon's idiosyncrasies like this one because she hopes to put Sheldon's love of repetition to good use some day. Sly and knowing glances are shared between Penny and Bernadette.
When the door opens, Sheldon abruptly informs Amy that he's not going to be able to work with Amy after all. Amy tells him that has already signed the contract and has cashed the check. Sheldon thinks Penny is going to look bad because she won't be able to work there. Penny said she thought Sheldon was okay with working with Amy. Sheldon explains, "I was, but that was before Howard explained to me how awful it would be if he had to work with his significant other." Bernadette gasped, "He said, WHAT?" Sheldon calms her down and tells her not to be insulted and attempts to explain that Howard simply thinks that seeing too much of Bernadette would be, "Mind-numbingly tedious." As Bernadette storms off to talk to her husband, Sheldon calls out to her, "Keep it short – Brevity is your friend."
Penny tries to tell Sheldon that he cannot tell Amy what she can or cannot do. Sheldon reminds Penny that last week she told Leonard he couldn't wear his wookie jacket out in public. "Well, that's different – I'm not going to the mall with someone dressed as a dumb space bear." Amy tells Sheldon, "You don't have to worry about me bothering you – I will be in a different building and we don't even have to have lunch together." Sheldon says, "Really?" Amy says, "Yes." Sheldon wonders, "[Are] you sure your moth-like personality won't be drawn to this blazing fire that is myself?" Penny just shakes her head in unbelief. Amy calmly assures Sheldon, "More and more sure…" Sheldon recants, "Well then, you have my permission." Amy clarifies, "I didn't ask for your permission." Sheldon tells her, "Too late, no backsies."
Meanwhile across the hall in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, Howard is painstakingly attempting to explain himself to Bernadette. Howard says, "No, noooOOooo…. Sheldon misunderstood… What I meant was, if we worked together, there would be too much of me for you." Sheldon advises Howard that if he is going to lie to his wife that he shouldn't start out the sentence with "Sheldon misunderstood…" because that's a dead giveaway that he's lying. Howard finally admitted that he honestly thinks that if he and Bernadette worked AND lived together – that they would get sick of each other. And because Sheldon is still living in Sheldon's own little world, he further nonsensically clarifies, "To be fair, the only part he said was the part of him getting sick of you." Howard quickly slams the table and exasperatingly cries out, "For the love of God, why?" Sheldon walks away while shaking his head and making a face as if Howard is completely "loony tunes." Bernadette continues grilling Howard about what is it exactly that Howard would get sick of about her?
Raj and Leonard are watching this whole scene unfold while they're sitting on a couch in the living room. Raj leans over to Howard and quietly says, "The only two options here are to fake a heart attack or to have a real one."
Bernadette is asking, "Is it my voice? Am I too bossy?" Howard says he thinks his arm is starting to feel numb and he begins to rub his right arm. Bernadette tells him he's a doofus because he's rubbing the wrong arm for a heart attack. Howard quickly changes arms and starts to rub his left arm. Howard is clearly going to have to find somewhere else to sleep for the night.
The next day the guys are at work having lunch in the cafeteria. Leonard asks Raj and Howard, "How was the pajama party?" He wonders if they jumped on the bed and sang into their hair brushes? Raj explains, "It wasn't a pajama party. It was just a couple of bros hanging out, giggling, eating cookie dough and watching "Princess Bride." Since Raj is continuing to dig himself into a hole, Howard tells Raj, "Please stop talking." Raj, in keeping with the Princess Bride theme says, "As you wish."
Amy walks by the guys at their table and coldly says, "Hi" as she walks to a different table. Sheldon still thinks his relationship with Amy is okay. Leonard wonders about the validity of Sheldon taking relationship advice from Howard, who spent last night braiding Raj's hair.
Amy is sitting at another table with a couple of colleagues, laughing and having a good time. Sheldon looks empathetically from afar at Amy and says, "Don't worry little moth, this flame will come to you." Sheldon dutifully walks over to Amy's table and she introduces him to her colleagues, one of whom is named "Dr. Gunderson" from Stockholm, Sweden. Sheldon says that Sweden is home to his favorite Muppet and his second favorite meatball. Everyone at the table looks at Sheldon like he's an alien. Sheldon sits down and tries hard to be engaging and amusing, but really misses the mark. Dr. Gunderson is so not amused. Neither is Amy. Sheldon asks Amy, "Is his name 'Gunderson' or 'No Fun-derson.'"
Amy sternly asks, "Where are we going with us, Dr. Cooper." Sheldon, in a lame attempt to be endearing, says, "Oh please, I'm your boyfriend, you can call me Sheldon." He looks at the others at the table and boasts, "That's right, I am in a boy/girl relationship with this cute lil lump of wool. It's a physical relationship, too – With hand holding and hugging – Even on hot days." Amy kicks Sheldon under the table. Sheldon says, "Owww. Here's a new one, apparently we kick each other on the shin under the table. How do you like it when I do it to you?" Sheldon kicks Amy back and she winces. Sheldon says, "Not so much, huh?" Amy just glares at Sheldon.
At the end of the day, Amy is still working feverishly in her lab since she has a lot of work to do. She is monitoring and charting the level of fear shown by a monkey's reaction to various pictures displayed one-by-one on a computer screen. The first picture is of a French man on bicycle carrying baguettes. Amy notes that the monkey displayed no visible reaction to that particular picture. The next picture is of a – sousaphone. There is still no reaction from the monkey. Amy decides to kick things up a notch. Picture #3 is of a crocodile with a mouthful of monkeys. Immediately, the monkey squeals and jumps back.
Sheldon walks into Amy's lab she asks him what he wants. He said that he was done with work, and then he squeals and jumps back when he sees the picture of the crocodile with a mouthful of monkeys that's still being displayed on the computer screen. Amy quickly changes the screen to display the picture of the French man with baguettes. Sheldon asks her to explain what she's doing on her project. She explains that she's determining the baseline fear levels of kabuki monkeys by measuring their response to visual stimuli. Sheldon thinks she's just goofing off.
Sheldon tells Amy that he has some good news for her. Since he's done with work, and Leonard (his usual ride home) isn't ready to leave yet – that Amy can take him home. Amy tells him she can't leave at the moment because she has too much work to do. She also wonders why on earth would she do Sheldon a favor after the way he treated her in the cafeteria. She clicks to Image #4 – A boa constrictor… both the monkey and Sheldon physically react to the picture. Sheldon doesn't think there was a problem because he was "delightful" when he talked to Amy and her colleagues in the cafeteria. He suggests however, "Maybe your friend, Gunderson, needs to head over to IKEA and assemble a sense of humor." Amy tells Sheldon that he embarrassed her in front of her colleagues on her first day. She then clicks to Image #5 – A kitten in a teacup. Both the monkey and Sheldon simultaneously tilt their heads to the side and smile in the same way. Amy tells Sheldon that he embarrassed her. Sheldon finally gets the clue that Amy is cranky with him. She tells he needs to go find another way home. Amy displays Image #6 – Woman giving birth. Both the monkey and Sheldon put their hands to their eyes with their tongues sticking out in the exact same way. Gosh, you think they're trying to tell us something? Lol…
Later that night, Penny and Leonard are sitting on the couch watching TV. Sheldon walks in. Leonard asks, "It's 9:00 PM, where have you been?" Evidently, Sheldon took the bus home but fell asleep and took a tour of the greater Los Angeles area. They thought that Amy was going to take him home from work. Sheldon says, "Can you believe she said I embarrassed her?" Penny immediately responds, "Yeah." Sheldon said, "But you didn't even hear the details." There is nothing but silence coming from both Penny and Leonard. Finally, Leonard says, "I've known you a long time and I'm going to tell you this with all the love I can muster – Amy's right, you're wrong." Sheldon says, "But you don't know…" Leonard interrupts Sheldon's explanation and says, "It doesn't matter." Sheldon says, "But in my defense…" Leonard again interrupts, "…Doesn't matter." Sheldon insists, "You're not listening to my side of it." Penny asks, "What is your side?" Sheldon starts to tell her then Penny says, "Nope, got to go with Amy on this one." Sheldon stomps off to his room.
Meanwhile, at Raj's house, there is a knock on his door. Bernadette is there to talk to Howard. She says, "I may have overreacted… Sometimes I feel like you enjoy your time with your friends more than me… And so when you said you didn't want to spend that much time with me it hurt my feelings." Howard tells her, "Starting tomorrow, my time with you is my #1 priority." Bernadette asks, "Why tomorrow?" Howard crazily explains, "Because we're so close to finishing the batman game." Bernadette stomps off. Raj tells Howard that he should go after her. Howard calls to Bernadette, "Should I go after you?" You hear an irritated Bernadette scream back to him, "NO!" Howard thanks Raj for getting him in trouble with his wife.
It looks like it's the middle of the night when Sheldon knocks on Amy's door. Amy opens the door in her robe and asks, "What are you doing here so late?" Sheldon explains, "Amy, this isn't easy to say. All relationships are difficult – but even moreso when you're in one with a person who struggles with everyday social interactions, and frankly, can strike some people as being some kind of a weirdo." Amy assures Sheldon, "You're not a weirdo." Sheldon says, "I wasn't speaking about me. I mean honestly, there's no telling what will set you off." He then cites various circumstances wherein Amy reacted negatively to him. Sheldon says, "We're a couple and I like you for who you are – quirks and all." Amy says, "I like you too." And just when you thought these two had made some progress, Sheldon can't stop himself from saying, "I should hope so – I don't see anyone else banging on this door, putting up with your nonsense." Amy slams the door shut. Sheldon says, "Not even a goodbye? See – that's the kind of thing that makes people think you're weird." As he walks away, Sheldon delusionally says, "Poor kid, she just doesn't see it."
Bernadette, Amy and Penny are out together talking about their relationship problems. Bernadette says, "I'm not apologizing to Howard, he can come begging on his knees." Amy says that she isn't apologizing either. Amy tells them that if she sees Sheldon at work that she will just ignore him. Penny assures the girls they shouldn't worry about it because her boyfriend, Leonard, is going to set Howard and Sheldon straight about the whole situation.
Meanwhile, back at Leonard's apartment where he's supposed to be setting the guys straight… Shock of all shocks, instead of talking about relationship stuff, they are playing around with laser guns and using them to burst balloons… Howard yells, "Pull" (Like you would hear when you're skeet shooting). Raj throws a balloon up in the air and Howard aims the laser gun and pulls the trigger! The balloon bursts! Everyone yells, "Yay!"

Chicken Marsala is one of those dishes I thought was hard to make, and was delighted to find out that it's actually pretty simple. And… it tastes decent on chemo.
This recipe is from The Recipe Critic
Creamy Chicken Marsala
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1½ cups sliced mushrooms
½ cup Marsala wine (found near the condiments)
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh Chopped Parsley for garnish
In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the chicken and lightly salt and pepper. Cook until lightly brown and cooked throughout. Remove chicken and set aside on plate.
Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and sauté the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes. Add marsala wine and bring to a boil over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes. This allows the alcohol to burn out. Add the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, ground mustard, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Place chicken back in the sauce and continue to simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
Serve over egg noodles or with mashed potatoes and a vegetable.

Get ready, shoppers! Some of the biggest retail days of the year are just ahead of us: Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and, RetailMeNot's newest addition, Cash Back Day. This unprecedented 24-hour exclusive cash back event on November 7 will let shoppers earn up to 20% cash back while they shop at hundreds of online retailers (moving forward, this yearly event will take place on the first Thursday of November). Bonus: Those who shop on Cash Back Day will receive their money just before the holidays.
The whole month of November brings great opportunities to save on all your holiday necessities. Remember that planning and preparation are the key ingredients to a successful shopping season. Not only does it keep you sane because you know what you're buying and for whom, but you've also planned out your budget keeping those impulse purchases either to a minimum or nonexistent. Consider taking advantage of shopping holidays that save you money like Free Shipping Day and the new Cash Back Day, where you get paid to shop! There's nothing better than earning money while you're spending it!
Genealogy Kits
Each year, Thanksgiving brings everyone together. It's always nice to see family, but occasionally you may have asked yourself, "Are we really related?" Genealogy services like 23andMe and Ancestry.com allow shoppers to take a deep dive into family history. Look into your DNA with Ancestry.com and get 50% off AncestryByDNA Test.
A new season calls for a new wardrobe as the cooler temperatures roll in. Some winter apparel has been on shelves since last month, but patience is a virtue! Shoppers who waited will be able to find price drops on winter clothing, shoes and accessories in November. Head over to Old Navy where shoppers can find something for the whole family and get 50% off all sweaters.
If you aren't too full of turkey, tackle Black Friday! The busiest shopping holiday of the year is on the horizon and will come with great discounts on many large electronic purchases. From TV sets and cameras to laptops and tablets, shoppers can take advantage of the steep savings this month. Shoppers looking to cherish those holiday memories can purchase a Canon camera and get up to $70 cash back.
There's no better time to stock up on cookware essentials than right before Thanksgiving. Holiday sales leading up to Cyber Week will offer the most significant savings, and they will start in the coming weeks. Surprise friends and family with some culinary skills and become the host with the most. Shop different cooking utensils and items, like this 21-piece set for $53.99, at JCPenney and get up to 60% off select cookware styles.
Winter is a great time to overhaul your wardrobe, but why not try a full beauty revamp too? Deep discounts are plentiful this month on makeup and accessories. Stores will be making room for new holiday sets and seasonal product launches, so you can take advantage of the inventory they'll want to move out. Shoppers looking to bring on the glam can save 15% off their purchase at Tarte Cosmetics on new seasonal arrivals like the Winter Wonderglam Luxe eye palette, and the Tarte Treasures collector's set.
What Not to Buy in November
Hold off on any jewelry purchases until the new year. Although jewelry is a hot-ticket item for the holidays, January brings savings in the form of Valentine's Day discounts.
Toys are not usually at their lowest price point during November. Retailers create a sense of urgency to purchase new toy arrivals early because hot items might not be available later on, but the best deals typically occur during the first two weeks of December.
Shop with these Black Friday deals on electronics, clothing and more.

Sooooo my staycation is actually turning out pretty great. Mostly because I can't be upset, not even about physics, when it is THIS sunny outside. The weather has been spectacular and I have gone out for the walk around Store Stokkavannet 2 days in a row now. I think my hips will be sore tomorrow, but at least I have gotten enough fresh air to sit on my bum for the rest of the day and finish this week's lab. You know, once I stop updating every avenue of facebook and obviously my blog 😉 I should really take more photos of when it is miserable out for comparison, but for my future self looking back on my time in Norway, I wanted to share a few more photos of how gorgeous a walk around the lake can be in the sunshine! Keep the fond memories alive!
**Side note: in case you were wondering frozen lakes melting in the morning sun sounds a lot like you are in Laser Tron. But outside.

Magnesium deficiency is never fatal and is primarily a cosmetic problem in landscape palms. Classic symptoms are marginal chlorosis on the oldest leaves which progress upward to younger foliage.
Magnesium deficiency in Palm Trees is distinguished by a typically broad lemon-yellow band along the margin of older leaves with a green center and a distinct boundary between the yellow and green portions. If leaflet tips are also necrotic (brown dead tissue), this indicates the presence of potassium deficiency on the same leaves. As with potassium deficiency, leaves with a magnesium deficiency will not recover, and must be replaced by new healthy foliage.
Prevention and Treatment of Magnesium Deficiency
Coated or uncoated "prilled" (pelletized) kieserite can be applied to prevent or correct magnesium deficiency, but may be difficult to find. Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) is very water soluble, and tends to leach from sandy soils very quickly. However, the use of 2 to 4 pounds of magnesium sulfate per tree along with controlled-release potassium four times per year should prevent further symptoms from occurring. If the soil pH is low, adjust using dolomitic limestone based on soil test results. Avoid the use of magnesium oxide as a treatment if the soil has a neutral or alkaline pH, as it is quite insoluble in soils with a high pH.

Minesweepers to Minehunters -The Changing History of The HMAS Curlew and The HMAS Snipe.
The RAN purchased six Ton Class Minesweepers from Britain in 1961; to of the minesweepers were built as mine hunters, but functioned as minesweepers until the late 1960s when they were converted to mine hunters.
HMAS Curlew decommissioned in December 1966 and was converted to a mine hunter at Garden Island Dock, Sydney, and re commissioned in 1968.
HMAS Snipe decommissioned the day before in 1968 and went into dockyard hands to be converted to a minehunter.Both operated together as mine hunters from late 1969 until Snipe decommissioned in 1983 and Curlew in 1991.
The conversion entailed fitting a high definition, short range sonar, the A/S 193 into the dome space, rudders were replaced
with active rudders and the ship was steered with a joystick via a computer instead of the traditional wheel. The crew was made up of 3 officers and 28 other ranks with 5 being Clearance Divers.
Tons converted for mine hunting had their influence minesweeping systems removed but retained their Oropesa mechanical Sweeps.
In May and June 1975 the minehunters HMAS Curlew and HMAS Snipe, using their A/S 193 sonar, together with the minesweeper HMAS Ibis surveyed the approaches to Darwin and the harbour itself, locating trawlers sunk during Cyclone Tracy, and other navigational hazards. Both ships surveyed the approaches to all major ports in Australia, surveyed the recommended
passages through the Great Barrier Reef and helped with the location and recovery of an RAAF F111 which crashed into the sea in New Zealand.
The operation of clearing mines entailed locating the mine using the sonar, maneuvering the ship with the active rudders to keep it stationary while divers were sent in an inflatable boat using radar ranging to a position directly over the mine where they either placed an underwater charge by diving down or winched an explosive device to a position alongside the mine.

I wanted to catch Zapdos but accidental knocked it out in the Sea Den so I cleared the Elite Four but Zapdos didn't come back. It's about the 3rd time I run through the Elite Four but Zapdos isn't coming back.
Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I check the PokeDex and it says location Unknown
Zapdos like most legendary Pokemon that roam or legends in general once knocked out do not come back. I remember when I knocked out my Articuno I had to go back to my last save. Since you have already beat the elite four you have auto saved so your Zapdos is unfortunately lost. This is why your pokedex says location unknown as Zapdos is no longer roaming your world. I would suggest if you don't want to reset your game to go on the gts and trade one.

Testing the 5G networks of Sprint and Verizon in Chicago, I wondered what would happen if shared the fast connections with an iPhone with 4G-Limit ($ 1,000 at Best Buy) over Wi-Fi. While the S10 5G on Sprint reached fairly constant speeds between 100 and 200 Mbps during the day (and a S10 5G on Verizon between 400 Mbps and 800 Mbps), the iPhone had difficulties over 30 Mbps get out. A similar problem occurred when T-Mobile's 5G network was tested in the millimeter wave range in New York last month .
So what is there? After confirming with Samsung and the network operators that no one has reached the top speed, and checking out other devices, including OnePlus 7 Pro and LG V50 ThinQ ($ 1,222 at Best Buy) 5G, the problem seems to be In an Android setting, Wi-Fi hotspots transmit Wi-Fi over a slower 2.4GHz frequency rather than over the much faster 5GHz frequencies.
When I switched to 5 GHz at the mobile hotspot, I saw a speed jump. After the iPhone XS Max ($ 1,100 at Best Buy) had trouble crossing the 30-Mbps limit over Wi-Fi, it was able to switch the hotspot settings of Sprint and Verizon in each 5G network of the respective network operator reach speeds of over 300 Mbit / s.
In a similar test with the OnePlus 7 Pro connected to Verizon's 4G LTE network in New York City, the download speed improved from 33.1 Mbps to 2.4 GHz to 86 , 1 Mbit / s over 5 GHz. Interestingly, the upload speeds seemed to be okay with both bands.
Why is there a difference?
As with 5G mobile phones, there are many different types of WLAN and a few frequencies that can be used. The 2.4 GHz band is great for directing the Wi-Fi signal to greater distances from the router. However, this is slower and more prone to interference from other devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors and even microwaves.
The 5 GHz band (also known as the 5G) is much faster and works with less interference, although its range is much shorter.
Since nothing is so easy, your home router may display 2G and 5G versions of your network, although these Wi-Fi networks are different from those provided by mobile operators. In short, use your router's 5 GHz connection at home when it's available for the fastest speeds, especially on devices such as 4K TVs or game consoles.
Since your phone is often near the device you're connecting to, the 5 GHz range limits should not be a major issue.
Most modern devices can connect to Wi-Fi on both bands. However, some older devices only detect 2.4GHz. For this reason, it makes sense if this is the default option.
How to make sure your phone's hotspot is transmitting at 5 GHz. We give examples of three different manufacturers, but if you have another Android phone that supports 5 GHz, the steps should be quite similar.
Samsung Phones
Step 1. Go to Settings [194559006] Step 2. Tap on "Connections" and then on "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering"
Step 3. Click "Mobile Hotspot" and then tap the three dots in the upper right corner.
Step 4. Tap Configure Mobile Hotspot. This will allow you to change the network name and Wi-Fi password for your hotspot, but scroll down and select "Show advanced options."
Step 5. Select "Use 5 GHz Band if Available".
LG Phones
Step 1. Go to Settings [194559006] Step 2. Select "Tethering"
Step 3. Tap "Wi-Fi hotspot" and click "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot"
Step 4. Scroll down the pop-up window and click "Show advanced options"
Step 5. Change from the preselected "2.4GHz band" to the "5GHz band"
Step 1. Go to Settings
Step 2. Select "Wi-Fi & Internet"
Step 3. Select "Hotspot & Tethering" followed by "Wi-Fi Hotspot".
Step 4. Change the "2.4GHz band" AP band to "5GHz band".
What about iOS? Apple does not allow iPhone users to change the band on which Wi-Fi is broadcast via the Personal Hotspot iOS feature. For optimal speed, it is recommended to connect the phone directly to a laptop. Regardless of Android or iPhone, no settings need to be changed to complete the full high-speed connection.

The production process of manganese ore mainly include: crushing, grinding, ore dressing. In the crushing processing, three crushing circuits are suitable for high hardness iron ore broken, which can complete the ore crushing and partial dissociation work so as to improve the efficiency of the subsequent grinding. In grinding process, two sections of a closed grinding is efficient grinding process, which can make the manganese mill more fully. In the new process, the representatives of emergence successful processing technology in recent years are: "Stage grinding, low intensity magnetic separation and reverse flotation process, whole magnetic separation process, Ultra-fine crushing—wet magnetic separation tailings process"
Manganese is a silvery-gray metal that resembles iron. It is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize. Manganese metal and its common ions are paramagnetic. Manganese tarnishes slowly in air and "rusts" like iron, in water containing dissolved oxygen.
Manganese makes up about 1000 ppm (0.1%) of the Earth's crust, making it the 12th most abundant element there. Soil contains 7–9000 ppm of manganese with an average of 440 ppm. Seawater has only 10 ppm manganese and the atmosphere contains 0.01 μg/m3. Manganese occurs principally as pyrolusite (MnO2), braunite, (Mn2+Mn3+6)(SiO12), psilomelane (Ba,H2O)2Mn5O10, and to a lesser extent as rhodochrosite (MnCO3).
Manganese is widely distributed in nature, almost all kinds of ores and silicate rocks contain manganese. The most common manganese ore is anhydrous and hydrous manganese oxide and manganese carbonate. Manganese minerals are known to have 150 kinds. But manganese minerals that can bring economic value are just 5-6 kinds. The most important and the most valuable manganese are Pyrolusite and hard manganese. Also water manganese ore, manganese ore, manganese ore, brown black Rhodochrosite contain 50~70% manganese and are important industrial mineral manganese.
Manganese is mined in South Africa, Australia, China, Brazil, Gabon, Ukraine, India and Ghana and Kazakhstan. US Import Sources (1998–2001): Manganese ore: Gabon, 70%; South Africa, 10%; Australia, 9%; Mexico, 5%; and other, 6%. Ferromanganese: South Africa, 47%; France, 22%; Mexico, 8%; Australia, 8%; and other, 15%. Manganese contained in all manganese imports: South Africa, 31%; Gabon, 21%; Australia, 13%; Mexico, 8%; and other, 27%.
