Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal joins milk moustache cast

Posted about 24 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous


The latest US star to wear the iconic milk moustache is actress Maggie Gyllenhaal.


Maggie, who starred in Secretary, for which she earned her first Golden Globe nomination, and in Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, appears in the ?got milk? campaign?s first latte advert. It aims to inspire mums to start each morning with a latte made with low fat or fat free milk.
The ad strapline reads: Ooh La Latte. Start your day with something delicious and nutritious. Surprise. The milk in your morning latte provides essential nutrients most of us are missing. ?C?est magnifique!?
Currently Maggie is filming Steel Town, a movie about two mothers teaming up to help make a difference at a local school.

New band of the day ? No 1,115: Milagres

Posted about 22 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous


This band's name means 'miracles' in Portuguese, which is appropriate given that they sound a lot like Coldplay and yet don't make you want to stab yourself in the ear
Hometown: New York.

The lineup: Kyle Wilson (vocals), Fraser McCulloch (bass, vocals, keyboards), Eric Schwortz (guitar, vocals, percussion), Chris Brazee (keyboards) and Steven Leventhal (drums).

The background: Look, we're just going to come right out with it. Milagres sound like Coldplay. There, we said it. See? That wasn't so bad, was it? After all, it's not a crime. Not yet anyway, although Chris Martin's onstage manoeuvres should be punishable by law . That man has all the charisma of a lamp. And yet Coldplay continue to exert a fascination, not on us, that's for sure, but on millions of people unable to distinguish between the original and the merely functional. But influential? Only in the sense they proved a conduit for Bends-era Radiohead and so any bands affected by the former were inevitably swayed by the latter. But we digress.

There is quite possibly a degree-level thesis to be written about how young men of a certain social and economic strata are bound to sound a certain way, to share a grain of voice and musical intent, but we don't have time for that now. Besides, Milagres frontman Kyle Wilson has enough problems. He went rock climbing in British Columbia after running out of ideas and options in New York, only to fall while scaling one of the remotest peaks and break his back, resulting in months of tedious recuperation. There is quite possibly a degree-level thesis to be written about how young men of a certain social and economic strata wind up in hospital and there make career-changing decisions, although as far as we know it would only feature three musicians: Scritti Politti's Green Gartside , Brian Eno and Kyle Wilson.

Gartside switched from anarcho squat-punk to silky soul and lovers rock from his sick bed, Eno discovered ambient, but Wilson? Well, we don't know what Milagres sounded like before his accident, but now they sound like that bad dancer and his band of merry men. Actually, they're better than that makes them sound. Maybe that's why they called themselves Milagres, which apparently means "miracles" in Portuguese, because miraculously they sound a lot like Coldplay and yet don't make you want to stab yourself in the ear. In fact, their forthcoming debut album Glowing Mouth is quietly impressive, and by "quietly" we mean the opposite. Wilson's delivery is dramatic but precise, keen to be heard, his lyrics evidently important to him. The word is "portentous".

Think Tears for Fears, or for a more modern reference point, Wild Beasts ? Wilson's voice keeps threatening to break into a falsetto and has vaguely operatic pretensions, and his band invest everything they play with a sense of grandeur. He's not even on the same planet as Billy Mackenzie , but still, full marks, or some marks anyway, for trying. One of the songs has the swirl of Teardrop Explodes. We're aware that we're mentioning some real heavy-hitters here, but we're only saying they sound like them, not that they're as good as them. We applaud effort and ambition round these parts. It's not all about the achievement; sometimes it's enough to aim high even if you only reach halfway. And other platitudes.

The buzz: "New tunes so hip, so clean, and so strangely adorable, they're almost sickening" ? imposemagazine.com .

The truth: They're not quite worth breaking your back or climbing a mountain for, but they do have a certain charm.

Most likely to: Toy with ambient techno.

Least likely to: Have a lovers rock phase.

What to buy: Glowing Mouth will be released next January by Memphis Industries.

File next to: Wild Beasts, Clock Opera, Tears for Fears, Teardrop Explodes.

Links: milagresmusic.com .

Thursday's new band: Daughter.

Mushroom Sugo

Posted about 20 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous

My dad is the kind of dad who will notice we aren't doing something to his standards and then just take over. (Insert growly voice.) "The recipe says mince, not finely chop, but mince. This isn't minced." I'm happy to report that my father is now in charge of mincing around here. (Was this all part of cunning plan on my side? I'll never tell.)
What we were making that precipitated the great mincing event this week was one of our absolutely favorite sauces for pasta or polenta, a Genoese mushroom sugo or mushroom sauce. The recipe comes from Darrell Corti of the Sacramento gourmet grocery Corti Bros . The recipe is Darrell's grandmother's and appeared in Saveur in 2001. Continue reading "Mushroom Sugo" ?

Regeneration? What's happening in Sheffield's Park Hill is class cleansing | Owen Hatherley

Posted about 14 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous


Once unpicturesque council tenants have been 'decanted', inner-city estates can be safely claimed by the affluent
Thanks to its intrinsic time lag ? the fact that a building commissioned in one era will come to be finished in another ? architecture is the best place to see a curious nostalgia for the very recent past. Here you can observe a strange collective desire to pretend it's still 2007, and we aren't going through a crisis that challenges our economy of finance and property to the core.
You can experience this in the Shard , a monument to overpowering growth finding its final form in a period of slump; you can see it in the Olympic site and the speculative apartment blocks of Stratford, a poor east London district that now partially resembles the sort of Blairite theme park envisaged for the Greenwich peninsula 15 years ago, except more grandiosely vacant. You can see it in Glasgow's Riverside Museum or the Museum of Liverpool , gawky sheds aiming at the "Bilbao effect" in two of Britain's most impoverished cities; and perhaps most pointedly, you can see it at Park Hill , a former council estate in Sheffield. That's an especially fine choice, because there it stops halfway through.
There have been arguments about Park Hill ever since it was built in 1961. Its attempt to create "streets in the sky" through wide, airy internal walkways has caused endless debate over whether they are real streets. But given that people congregate on them, there is public access to them and crimes sometimes happen in them, it would seem that they are as open-ended and tricky to police as the Victorian terraces they replaced.
Park Hill's status has changed gradually from a source of intense municipal socialist pride to dilapidated sink estate. It is commonly described as the "largest listed building in Europe" and the largest listed brutalist or 60s building. In fact it's none of those things, with all those titles being taken by London's Barbican estate : a place that, like Park Hill, is full of bare concrete, open space, urban density, walkways, social facilities (both contain several schools and pubs, although only one an arts centre) and the separation of pedestrian and car. One is a problem that apparently had to be solved; the other one of London's most prestigious addresses. Why?
The obvious reason is that one is council housing and the other, from the very start, was built as private housing. Accordingly, the Barbican has always been cleaned and cared for; Park Hill has been left to rot. So much so that many of the building's defenders (and there are a large number, in Sheffield and out) approved when a property developer started rebuilding ? knocking the bricks out of the concrete frame, "decanting" hundreds of people and inserting brightly coloured panels to signify to the surrounding area that the estate was being regenerated ? with the assistance of public money, via English Heritage and the Homes and Communities Agency, that might have been better spent renovating the place for those who already lived there. But the years of denigration made this an easy sell. At least something's happening. At least it's not being knocked down.
Now Park Hill's redevelopment has been "finished" and some are rushing to describe it as a success. The same developer, Urban Splash , was also hailed for its "success" in New Islington, in Manchester , after completing two closes of houses and one block of flats, on the site of another council estate. Yet most of that area is still a gigantic wasteland nearly 10 years after being taken on.
The new Park Hill is similarly not what it seems. One quarter of the estate boasts shiny panels, glass lifts, a new steel staircase and an asking price starting at ?90,000 per flat ? a bargain for a young professional, inconceivable for the poorly paid and unemployed who used to live there. Two quarters are derelict, alternately tinned up to prevent squatters or decorated with public art.
The last quarter, furthest from the city centre, is still inhabited ? although when I pointed this out last week to Sheffield council's head of planning, he was unaware of this fact. Walk around here in the day and you'll see chairs on the walkways, doors open and elderly tenants chatting. Yet the place is invariably presented as a failure needing drastic action. The rest of the estate waits for the state to hand the developers more money to spread their magic across the rest of its former asset; more evictions will surely follow.
It's all a microcosm of how public housing was treated during the boom. Property speculators became hungry for previously neglected spaces, going from regenerating derelict factories all the way to redeveloping dilapidated council estates. But in the latter case, there were people in the way, who first had to be decanted, or evicted as it used to be called, albeit with the promise of a "right of return". Yet already more former Park Hill tenants have registered their interest in returning than there will be "social" units to accommodate them (less than a third of the block will be run by a housing association).
Ed Miliband's cheering on of Thatcher's right-to-buy policy in his conference speech yesterday and his notion that council housing should be for the "deserving" poor are depressingly redolent of the era that let this happen ? yet his comments on the end of the neoliberal consensus suggest he might actually realise how gross this sort of class cleansing is during a recession.

His predecessor did, eventually: at the boom's end, in one of his administration's comparatively decent last acts, Gordon Brown in effect legalised the return of council housing. Some councils, like Birmingham or Barking and Dagenham, started to tentatively construct their first council houses in 30 years during 2009 and 2010 ? hardly enough to replace those lost to right to buy and never replaced in the 80s, 90s and beyond, but a start.
At Park Hill we have another instance of the extremely limited council housing stock being sold off and privatised; and that in a city with at least 60,000 on the council waiting list. It should be a relic of the boom, the new Park Hill, an embarrassing reminder of a time when it was thought that the best way to repair a listed building that served a much-needed social purpose was the expulsion of its unpicturesque inhabitants. Unless this folly is recognised, it will be a portent in concrete and anodised aluminium of what council housing could look like everywhere soon, when lifetime tenancies and housing benefit are abolished; when those last few inner-city areas unclaimed by the affluent are put up for sale. Those who genuinely value the building and what it once stood for should regard its alleged success with the utmost suspicion.

BMW M3 Tornado RS by G-Power

Posted about 12 hours ago by zappanicoxs52g to zappanicoxs52g's posterous

Posted on 09.28.2011 18:00 by Simona
Filed under: BMW G-Power | coupe | sports cars | car tuning | BMW M3 | Cars | Car Reviews | G-Power

G-Power is already famous for their impressive update packages for a number of BMW models, especially the M3, but they've just released their most spectacular M3 package yet: the Tornado RS. This new package transforms the standard M3 into the most powerful BMW M3 in the world, eclipsing the 635 HP M3 GTS G-Power worked on earlier this year.
The new BMW M3 Tornado RS delivers no less than 720 HP thanks to the addition of a SK III ?Sporty Drive? Supercharger System. In addition to the supercharger, G-Power has also added a modified crankshaft which increases the V8's displacement by 15% (from 4.0 to 4.6-liters), a carbon fiber airbox which is 4 kg (8.8 lbs) lighter than the standard one, and a tailor-made cooling system for the SK III Supercharger System that increases the capacity of the oil and water cooling circuits of the V8 engine to keep temperatures in check. The car will also be equipped with a titanium exhaust system with free-flowing 100 cpsi metallic catalytic converters. As a result, the Tornado RS delivers a total of 720 HP and a peak torque of 516 lb-ft. This allows the M3 to achieve a 0 to 60 mph sprint time of only 3.7 seconds, a sprint from 0 to 124 mph in 9.5 seconds, and a top speed of 205 mph.
The exterior was also given a once-over with a new aerodynamic program made entirely of carbon fiber. The package includes a carbon front spoiler for more downforce with optional brake cooling ducts for ventilation on the front axle, a trunk lid, and a 3-piece carbon rear spoiler to increase the downforce on the rear axle. The car now sits on a new set of weight-optimized 20-inch G-Power Silverstone Clubsport forged wheels.
Pricing for this kit starts off at 35,00 euro, or about $47,500 at the current exchange rates.
