He said that he was litteraly just told they dont have them. After the third employee said that they didnt have them I asked about the one I could see on the shelf as it wasnt labeled what peircing it was for just that it was 5/16 16g and from what I could see would work. The girl I asked requested that the manager help to which he told her I dont think we have those and he sent another employee to tell us. When it was finally my turn I asked if they had any acrylic retainers that would fit a septum. Spent 15 minutes here the other day waiting to be helped for body jewelry wich was fine because other customers were being helped. There just isnt a good reason to pass up the competition to get here. Other than high end work they ont have anything that cant be gotten in the area elsewhere, and the high end selection at the bus so much better. apparently not even smiling in their face while their rude works now. the service here is usually bad but if you grin and bare it you can get what you need when everything else is closed. I didnt even have to leave the intersection to find what I needed else where. She talked right over the top of me to tell me that I complain to much and that I should leave. So I walked over to the manager and told her what i needed and started to tell her about her worker. she talked right over the top of me to tell me how to return the other one to the manufacturer as if I hadnt told her twice that I wanted something else. I explained I didnt want to wait or buy the same thing again. She went into a speal about returning the old one. Let the girl behind the counter know i wanted something different, didnt want to wait on the warranty return and could use advise. went back a few weeks later when my old one failed to. Ill be taking my money somewhere else from now on and I highly suggest that if youre looking for quality items that you do the same.īought a vape there a few weeks back. I have a few friends that have also had problems with their glass and quartz pieces. Im not a noob and I really dont appreciate being treated like I dont know the difference between being sold a cheap knockoff and user error. Ive spent $1,000+ at this store over the years and have returned in good faith more times than I can count after buying faulty products from them. Im sorry but thats not proper customer appreciation. I was basically told that it wasnt their fault/problem and was offered a 25% discount off of a new nail. Not the first time that Ive had a bad experience with nails there, so i figured i would go in and politely ask the manager if they, in good faith, would replace my nail, and I, also in good faith, would purchase another banger for full price. even a glass nail shouldnt do that people!!! So here I am, $50 in the drain and never even got to use the product. both bangers cracked at the base of the joint during the cooldown process. And after wiping them down and placing them on the rig and doing an initial 1 minute torch application. and first off, neither banger would create an airtight seal on the rig. I purchased two $25 bangers (14mm female 4mm nail thickness) and an extremely overpriced and under-worked $35 carb cap. They just decided to get a whole bunch of new styles of quartz bangers in a bunch of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses in the $15-30 range. Ive had nothing but issues out of their quartz bangers (Ive been through 7) ranging from not fitting properly on the rig (both over and undersized connections) to not having a smooth surface on the top (creating an inability to have a restricted airflow with a carb cap) to, more recently, being more carbon silicate and less quartz, if even quartz at all. I normally get a quartz banger or 2 when I stop in and some other fun things, but sadly, I will not be taking my money there any longer. spending $50-100 easily every visit, every few months. Ive been dealing with the Madison Ave location for about 4 years or so now.

Anything higher and detonation, overheating, or any other myriad of issues can arise. For a naturally aspirated street-driven car using a mid-grade (pump gas) 91-octane fuel, that ratio will most likely be between 9-10:1. From there, a static compression ratio should be chosen based on use, fuel availability, and so on. The first question that needs to be asked is whether the engine will be naturally aspirated or forced induction. When it comes to building an engine from one-off parts, one of the most common questions that comes up is, “How do I determine the final compression ratio?” Unfortunately, this can be difficult to calculate without at least a few parts on hand, or at least their specifications. With those items left to cover this month, we’re going to put off the installation of the cylinder heads and leave the installation and adjustment of the valvetrain for next month, concentrating instead on the installation and inspection of the camshaft and to double-check our compression ratio to ensure we’re good to go next time. Note the liberal use of the aforementioned lubrication products having been applied before installation. Here, our Summit Pro SBC cam is being installed. There are things that are unknown until the pistons are in their place (deck clearance) and things that can vary (head gasket thickness), so it’s a good idea to use a product such as Summit Racing’s Compression Calculator to crunch the numbers and make sure we’re still in the green before it’s too late. We ran the numbers when we originally chose the components, but it’s always a good idea to double-check it as the engine goes together. But first we want to verify that our static compression ratio is going to be within the recommended specs for a street car, that is, under 10:1 for pump gas. Once the camshaft is installed, we will turn our attention to the cylinder heads. Comp Cams Cam and Lifter Installation Lube (Summit PN CCA-153) will be used on all the cam lobes, lifters, and other valvetrain components. Throughout the build we’ve been using Comp Cams Engine Assembly Lube (Summit Racing PN CCA-104) on all the bearing surfaces (crank, rods, and so on) and the camshaft journals will receive the same treatment. By comparing the results from degreeing the camshaft with the cam card, we can verify that the valves will open and close when they’re supposed to and the lift and duration is as advertised. This easy operation ensures that not only has the camshaft been manufactured according to the cam card’s specs, but also ensures that the engine builder didn’t make a mistake-a mistake that could possibly take out expensive components if installed incorrectly. Each and every camshaft is ground to achieve a certain event at a certain moment, so it’s important to ensure that those events happen when they’re supposed to after the camshaft and timing chain set are installed. In layman’s terms, degreeing a camshaft is the simple operation of checking that the installed camshaft functions happen as specified on the cam card. Summit’s Pro SBC cams are CNC ground using CBN diamond wheels from American bearing steel billets. With an advertised duration of 204 degrees on the intake side and 214 on the exhaust at 0.050-inch lift, our engine should have a perceptible idle lope with a good powerband between 1,500-6,000 rpm. To actuate the valves in our small-block we opted to go with Summit Racing’s recommendation of their Pro SBC Stage I hydraulic roller cam (PN SUM-8800). These larger sizes are great for studying and large-scale projects.įor a deep dive into the complete Moleskine notebook collection, check out our latest Limited Edition Notebooks and PRO Notebooks structured to help boost productivity.

A portable version is offered there as well. In the end it all comes down whether you are satisfied with the functionality that the excellent free version offers, or if you need one or multiple of the features that the pro version adds on top of that.īoth the free version and a 30-day trial version of the professional program version can be downloaded from the developer website. An option to create uninstallation reports would come in handy in business and professional environments. The developers could work on the reporting and log accessibility though. Backups, full 64-bit support, real-time monitoring of program installations, and forced uninstallations are all features that extend the free version's functionality. Revo Uninstaller Pro tops the free version in many regards. Registry keys, folders and files can for instance be excluded from being analyzed and included by the program during cleanup. The program options display several interesting preferences. The monitoring makes sure that all traces of a program will be removed from the system during uninstallation.Īdditional pro-only features include the ability to export or print the list of installed programs, a customizable user interface, visual themes support, command line program support and full 64-bit compatibility. Programs installed this way are listed under traced programs in Revo Uninstaller Pro. This basically monitors all changes made to the system during program installation. That's useful for instance if you have deleted a program directory accidentally, or when you want to remove partially installed or uninstalled programs.Īnother interesting option that is only offered by the pro version of Revo Uninstaller is the ability to monitor program installations. What's more? A forced uninstall feature is available to get rid of program remnants that are not listed (anymore) in the installed program list. The cleanup module benefits from advanced scanning algorithms that are not integrated in the free version. The pro version creates a system restore point and a full Registry backup before running the default program uninstaller and its cleanup module. This can be used to distinguish important apps from ones that can be removed from the system. You could move all important programs in a work group, or all Internet applications into the Internet group. It is first possible to configure and manage program groups in the pro version. A few differences exist that are worth mentioning. The program uninstaller works nearly identical to that of the free program version. This includes a sidebar menu on the left linking to a set of related tools (which are also available in the free version but there only under Tools), additional options in the main menu bar and tabs to display multiple program modules at the same time. New options have been added to the interface. The interface displays all program modules of Revo Uninstaller Free more or less in the same place. The list is immediately available and divided into new programs at the top and all programs below that.Īll functionality provided by the free version of the program is available in the pro version. The application displays a list of all installed programs on start up. Revo Uninstaller Pro has all the features of the standard version plus several more that are especially suitable for tech savvy users and professional work environments. The program runs the default program uninstaller first, before it scans the system for leftovers to make sure that no traces remain on the PC. Call it convenience or call it a new found respect for portable software.Revo Uninstaller is one of the most popular third party programs to clean up leftovers after program uninstallations in Windows. But lately I have been hunting around for apps which I can just drop into my thumb drive. Selecting one is like checking out the surgeon who is best suited for removing a mass of tissue from your system.įor a long time my tool of choice has been Revo Uninstaller. There are in fact too many tools for the job. That's why it helps to keep another free software uninstaller app ready and primed for an emergency surgery on your system. There have been instances where a quirk has rendered the tool defunct. Though not entirely its own fault, as some programs are just not designed keeping good package management practices in mind.īut as some users will attest, it is notoriously slow and lacks some basic handling features like search and full featured seek and search tasks which make for easier program management. True, it's there but it sometimes fails as an umbrella solution. But then there's the Windows default Add/Remove tool. But not all in the scattering of software programs are made keeping in mind such best practices.

That led to an offer in 1994 to do an episode of "MTV Unplugged" with special guests Elvis Costello and k.d. He made guest appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman" and became a celebrity guest artist on "The Simpsons." He wore a black T-shirt and sunglasses as a presenter with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the 1993 MTV Music Video Awards, and his own video of "Steppin' Out With My Baby" from his Grammy-winning Fred Astaire tribute album ended up on MTV's hip "Buzz Bin." But after turning 60, an age when even the most popular artists often settle for just pleasing their older fans, Bennett and his son and manager, Danny, found creative ways to market the singer to the MTV Generation. Released in 1962 as the B-side of the single "Once Upon a Time," the reflective ballad became a grassroots phenomenon staying on the charts for more than two years and earning Bennett his first two Grammys, including record of the year.īy his early 40s, he was seemingly out of fashion. His final album, the 2021 release "Love for Sale," featured duets with Lady Gaga on the title track, "Night and Day" and other Porter songs.įor Bennett, one of the few performers to move easily between pop and jazz, such collaborations were part of his crusade to expose new audiences to what he called the Great American Songbook. His rapport with Winehouse was captured in the Oscar-nominated documentary "Amy," which showed Bennett patiently encouraging the insecure young singer through a performance of "Body and Soul." Three years earlier, he topped the charts with "Duets II," featuring such contemporary stars as Gaga, Carrie Underwood and Amy Winehouse, in her last studio recording. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart for "Cheek to Cheek," his duets project with Lady Gaga. In 2014, at age 88, Bennett broke his own record as the oldest living performer with a No. He not only survived the rise of rock music but endured so long and so well that he gained new fans and collaborators, some young enough to be his grandchildren. The last of the great saloon singers of the mid-20th century, Bennett often said his lifelong ambition was to create "a hit catalog rather than hit records." He released more than 70 albums, bringing him 19 competitive Grammys - all but two after he reached his 60s - and enjoyed deep and lasting affection from fans and fellow artists. There was no specific cause, but Bennett had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016. Publicist Sylvia Weiner confirmed Bennett's death to The Associated Press, saying he died in his hometown of New York. He was 96, just two weeks short of his birthday. NEW YORK - Tony Bennett, the eminent and timeless stylist whose devotion to classic American songs and knack for creating new standards such as "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" graced a decadeslong career that brought him admirers from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga, died Friday.

Some people like adding cream cheese – if you’d like to try that, just stick to one block and use 3 cups of shredded cheese for the remaining cheese.Īs always, I highly recommend tasting your recipe throughout the preparation process so you can correct over- or under-seasoning.Įrr on the side of under boiling and under baking the pasta. You can add pepperjack cheese for a bit of kick or even give this recipe a gourmet flair by using cheeses like fontina, gouda, Swiss, etc. I change it up based on whatever I have on hand, but sharp cheddar is always one of the cheeses. I also like using a blend of two or more cheeses to give our mac and cheese a bit more depth of flavor. (I also like adding a bit of mustard powder and chili powder, or even chopped jalapeños, but I got in trouble the last time I did that.) Experiment and make this recipe your own. Italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, seasoning salt, garlic powder, etc – my daughter would probably go crazy for a ranch mac and cheese. I just use white pepper, salt and paprika to simply season this mac and cheese but you can incorporate any favorite seasoning blend to really play with the flavors. I will warn you though – once you’ve served this decadent mac and cheese to your family, they may no longer accept any blue box shortcuts. Yes, it takes a little longer to prepare than that little blue box, but it’s well worth the extra baking time and cheese shredding. This baked mac and cheese recipe is comfort food perfection and incredibly easy to whip up. Maybe even two.Īnd there is nothing more disappointing than when a gorgeous mac and cheese turns out to be lacklustre in flavor, or the cheese sauce is too slippery to really coat the noodles. Now I don’t want to waste your time with my yapping, I want to see you get in that kitchen, and try this recipe out.I could give or take most pasta recipes, but a creamy baked mac and cheese with a thick cheese sauce and crunchy, golden baked cheese topping? I’m going in for a giant scoop, every time. That is why I only make this dish a few times a year( holidays) I have to be honest here, and tell you that this dish is super high in fat and calories ( like all things that taste so freaking good). Also instead of using regular milk I use half & half, and evaporated milk. Seriously- get on Instagram, search “soul food ” and see how many people try to pass off the boxed mac and cheese for the real deal, LOL!įor my southern baked macaroni and cheese I use several cheeses. When I finally made my way to the front of the line, I wanted to freaking cry! The so called macaroni and cheese that I had been waiting for was nothing more than boxed macaroni and cheese smothered in mild cheddar! Ooh that really burned my biscuits! Sadly, a lot of people make their ” famous” macaroni and cheese like this. Everyone raced to the front of the line to dig in. About 2 hours into the cookout the wife, finally came out with this huge platter full of mac and cheese. My mouth was watering, and frankly I just wanted him to shut up, and go grab me a plate. This man keep telling everyone that it was the real deal, and it was truly southern. Being that macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite foods, I was excited to get a taste of this “famous” mac and cheese. I remember going to a cookout, a year ago, and the host of the party keep bragging to all of the guest how bomb his wife’s mac and cheese was. SO many people have made macaroni and cheese, and claimed it to be southern, and all it was baked macaroni and cheese. They’re darn delicious, but not southern- and there is a difference! Yes, I have 3 or more other macaroni and cheese recipes already available, however none of them are truly southern. The time has come for me to finally share and upload a video on me making my SOUTHERN baked macaroni and cheese. What makes it different from any of my other macaroni and cheese recipes? The ingredients, and texture! In this post I’m going to share my last installment of mac and cheese recipes, LOL ( I don’t want yall to grow bored!) Today we are making southern baked macaroni and cheese. Just a few days ago, I typed up the recipe for my Classic Macaroni and Cheese( previously the recipe was available only in the video). Since I’ve been on YouTube, I’ve shared many recipe for macaroni and cheese. I apologize if this appears to be a duplicate.) (Part of this post was accidentally posted as the classic macaroni and cheese. Once the suits are off, with their stonewashed denim, black T-shirts, grey sweaters, Bangalter and his longtime bandmate Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo can blend into any crowd. There’s the paradox: they enjoy worldwide fame, but Daft Punk remains the most anonymous band ever, with those robot helmets - an emblem as well as protection against overwhelming stardom. From that point, every orientation became possible.” It was clear to us right from the beginning when it was still easy to just duplicate our hits to infinity. We need to reinvent everything, every time we’re working on a project. “Our leitmotiv,” declares Thomas Bangalter, “is never to repeat ourselves. They reinvented techno music with Homework (1997), the first true point of reference in the genre, they brought back and updated 1970s synthetic Disco music with Discovery (2001) before coming back to hard-hitting rock ‘n roll with Human After All (2005) – which was ill received by the critics but still influential for many. There's been just four albums (and a soundtrack) since 1993: these boys like to take their time before releasing anything.ĭaft Punk live in Los Angeles in 2007 - Photo: Travis Hornung All this success, despite their scarce public appearances, concerts and albums. The singles Da Funk (1996), Around The World (1997), One More Time (2000), Harder Better Faster Stronger (2001) all contributed to the millions of albums the band sold, all over the world. Their dance anthems belong to the collective unconscious. This was the beginning of an unmatched success for a French outfit, which has lasted to this very day: 20 years later, Daft Punk is among the most popular bands on earth, no one would dare to call them daft, now. No offense was taken to that two-word description, and two of the band mates, in fact, decided to use this insult as their new project in electronic music. An English journalist uses the words "Daft Punk" to qualify the music of a small French band of three teen rock fans that was calling itself Darlin’. As far as I’m concerned, this is after dinner drink over ice material. That being said, flavored whiskies just aren’t my thing, so while the Crown Royal Vanilla is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, it’s still too sweet for me to drink on its own. G-LO: Of the three Crown Royal flavored whiskies that we’ve tried so far (Apple and Maple were the other two), this is easily the best one.This would be a nice complement to a good dessert (think cheesecake, chocolate mousse or panna cotta). Although, at 35% ABV is it still whiskey? I would note that, to me, this is more of liqueur and certainly a beverage for someone who might lean more towards a sweet cocktail than a bold whiskey. Limpd: This is a very drinkable whiskey.Vanilla and spicy simple syrup flavors linger in the aftertaste. The vanilla comes back around at the finish along with powdered sugary sweetness. It’s sweet, but not overbearing with some definite spiciness kicking in at mid-palate. Definitely getting that vanilla buttercream taste at first. G-LO: A touch syrupy but not overly so.The sweetness returns in a pleasant, dry finish. The heat comes on mid-palate with more of an alcohol kick than cinnamon or pepper. Limpd: Not much alcohol (the ABV is only 35%) upfront and a lot of sweetness.Also getting some clove, coconut, and a bit of cinnamon. It smells like you took some vanilla buttercream icing and added some whisky to it. Once they subside, there are lots of vanilla notes coming through (as there should be!). G-LO: A bit of alcohol vapors at first.Limpd: Lyle Golden Syrup, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla and a hint of coconut.Appearance: Burnished copper color with thick, slow moving legs.The result is a uniquely sophisticated whisky, bursting with the bold flavor of vanilla and the distinctive smoothness of Crown Royal. To create this extraordinary blend, Crown Royal whiskies are carefully selected by our master whisky blenders and infused with the rich flavor of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. Here’s what Crown Royal has to say about it… Now that we’ve established the relevance of flavored whisky, let’s get on with a review of the latest flavored whisky concoction from the Great White North, Crown Royal Vanilla. While this wasn’t the most sophisticated analysis, my brief look at the numbers leads me to believe that flavored whisky is definitely a thing. Here’s where flavored whiskies placed in our Top 10 Most Read Posts lists, starting in 2013: I did not conduct an extensive market analysis, but I did take a look at our blog statistics for the past four years to see which blog posts made our Top 10 Most Read Posts list. “How do you know this, G-LO? Did you conduct extensive market analysis?” We (and by we I mean snobby booze bloggers such as ourselves) can poke fun at flavored whisky all we want, but there’s no denying their popularity with the booze drinking public. |
