6/6/2023 0 Comments Maha soundbyteAgain, a movie star (in this case, a once-hot, now slightly-lukewarm star, Preity Zinta) is the anchor, to add the requisite glamour and celeb sheen (even if the glow is slightly on the wane). But worth watching for the good moments.Ĭolors has begun Guinness World Records Ab India Todega, where - as is evident from the title of the show - Indian participants attempt to break world records. As is the case in most of these shows, some of the acts are genuinely funny while others are a bit ho-hum. The participating comedians on the show include veterans such as Raju Srivastava as well as some newcomers. No wonder the quartet of Arshad and company appear to be in such high spirits on Comedy Ka Maha Muqabla - it’s not only the jokes, such as they are. So as far as showbiz celebs are concerned, what’s not to like about being on TV? They can be hosts or judges or mentors or reality show participants and all these roles (by all accounts) come with seriously hefty pay cheques. Television has emerged as the most profitable source of income for anyone in showbiz, whether he or she is a reigning superstar/failed star/has-been star/small-time star/very small-time star/ageing star/underage star/ only vaguely a star/any other kind of star. There’s Comedy Ka Maha Muqabla on Star Plus, with four teams lead by four film and TV stars: Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Raveena Tandon, Shekhar Suman. One also had to remind oneself that there were other new-ish shows on TV to be watched. It was also a relief to play ostrich-in-the-sand for a while and pretend that the thousands of scams running into thousands of crores had not happened to just feel happy watching TV. Or just to wait breathlessly for a glimpse of/soundbyte from some cricketer or the other, even if all of them in unison thanked and dedicated the World Cup victory to their gurus/parents/Sachin Tendulkar/God (the last two being the same). It was difficult not to be draped over the TV set, just to see how everyone else was celebrating (as it turned out, they were doing more or less the same thing - screaming dementedly and jumping up and down as if they were one of those children’s bouncy castles). The hangover continued well into the next day. For once, I didn’t mind the usual TV irritants - clips being played in a constant loop (I think all of us could have watched MS Dhoni’s match-winning six on a non-stop loop) or reporters talking gibberish (in this case, excusable they were probably as delirious and unhinged as everyone else). It was as if India had won the cricket World Cup. But it was a very welcome sort of clamour: the sound of sheer ecstasy. After two tranquil no-TV weeks (the closest I came to TV was seeing - not watching - television screens at two airports), I switched on my set at home and was greeted by unprecedented, deafening clamour. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Shadow of mordor reviewThe spirit gains access to the mind through intimidation, and his ghostly face will manifest in a near-skeletal form in order to terrify his current victim.Ī Child’s Perspective: This is not supposed to be a family friendly game, and as such, no children were around when I played it. When the player reads the mind of an orc, they will do so through the elf lord spirit. There are some minor scary images in the game. It did seem like murder, but it didn’t seem that different from the Ghost Army in the third book/movie. It didn’t really seem like a ritual, and didn’t seem out of place in The Lord of the Rings universe. I will say that the ordeal was handled well though. At the beginning of the game, the protagonist’s family is slaughtered in a “blood sacrifice” (a henchman casually slicing open the throats of the player, and his son and wife, whispering “an offering of blood and bone”) in order to summon the spirit of the aforementioned elf lord, who ends up manifesting himself (and sharing a body with) the main player. There is some aspect of possession and what I guess could be called Necromancy are in the game. It is revealed that he manifested himself as an elf, and used trickery and deception to get an elf lord to do his bidding (much like how the Bible says the Devil operates). Sauron, the main antagonist in the books and movies, and the symbolic Devil is the driving evil behind the story in Shadow of Mordor. That spirituality bleeds into the game, even if it is not as prevalent as in the books. Tolkien, the creator of The Lord of the Rings, used quite a lot of symbolism for Christianity, and spirituality in his books. There is no sexual content in Shadow of Mordor. The enemies mostly use Orcish insults, like “Tark,” which have no real meaning to Humans outside of the game. The orcs are attacking humans, enslaving and beating them (the player will have many opportunities to liberate slaves), and are capturing the area in which the player spends the majority of the game.Ī few minor swear words are used, like “d**n,” are used infrequently. The player’s overall objective is to discover what is happening in Mordor, and during that process, they try to stop the growing shadow, which means killing lots of orcs in the process. The violence is almost entirely directed at orcs, and not done without reason (there are two instances when the player will kill an evil human). During the brutality, the player will stab and slash an orc roughly ten times in rough, quick, and brutal succession. When the player sneaks up on an orc, they have an option to perform a “brutality,” to frighten away the other orcs. The most brutal example I can give comes from gameplay, and can be done as often as the player wants. The goriest example I can give comes from a cutscene, where three throats are cut, and you can clearly see the blood pour out of them. When an enemy is stabbed or slashed at, blood will spout from them, and when there is a decapitation, the blood splatter is more akin to an eruption. Decapitations, stabbings, and other such violence is common place. It is a realistic third-person action game, and the player can use a sword, dagger, and bow. There is quite a variety of gameplay styles, and all of them are blended together to be really fun.īlood and violence are prevalent in Shadow of Mordor. Smart players will use their environment to their advantage, and will create traps, lure over wild animals, or will make things explode. Orcs can be dispatched with a stealthy approach, and ranged attacking style, or a full frontal sword assault. Players will often have to fight, and there are no shortage of enemies to kill. Shadow of Mordor has quite a lot to explore, and is filled with side-quests, hunting and gathering missions, and collectibles. Shadow of Mordor is an open-world game, meaning that the player is free to explore the world as they choose. The game begins with an attack on the wall, and afterwards, the protagonist and his new elf spirit will go out and explore Mordor, in order to both put a stop to the orcs, and more of Sauron’s evil, and discover why they “survived” the attack. The player plays as a Ranger of Gondor, stationed on a giant wall between Mordor and Gondor. During this time, the land of Mordor was taken over by orcs, who began to steal land from Gondor, one of the biggest kingdoms. After Bilbo found The Ring, but before Sauron (the main antagonist) manifests himself in his tower, there was a time of very uneasy peace. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor’s story takes place between the events of The Hobbit, and The Fellowship of the Ring movies/books. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Milk toastPeter Tonguette, The Christian Science Monitor, 13 Jan. 2023 Disney may look milquetoast next to the freewheeling spirit of the Fleischers. 2023 Sandoval issues a milquetoast statement to the world via his Instagram page, apologizing to everyone but Madix. 2023 Also, as the name of a 1948 movie and the title of Bertie Higgins’s milquetoast 1981 easy-listening hit. 2023 In 2020, Ivan Safronov, a former journalist for Kommersant, a once serious, hard-hitting daily in Moscow that had morphed into something more safe and milquetoast, was arrested on charges of espionage. 2023 Kat is a mean girl masquerading as milquetoast, and an equal-opportunity offender in trashing men’s looks, too. 2022 On paper, everything looks good, but in person and behind the wheel, the Sienna comes off as milquetoast.

Any advices would be appreciated.Noun Many of Pi’s comments have that milquetoast quality of taking many words to say nothing. However, traditional bread making is quite time consuming, so it’s nice to have the machine mixes, kneads and rests the dough for you. Is the windowpane test always working to test machine kneaded dough? Do you think if I make only half of the recipe will allow the bread machine to knead better? Or I should just rely on the machine entirely? I felt a bit pressure using the bread machine since I don’t feel it is under my control. It could be that I over kneaded the dough or over proved it. The bread came out looking pretty but heavy and the texture was kind of dry and not fluffy. After the resting done in about 1 1/2-2 hours (My machine has 2 resting cycle), I took it out, divided, shaped and rested for about half hour before baking it. I took it out from the pan and started kneading by hand put it back to the machine and proof. After the kneading stopped (I think in about 20-25 mins), I checked the dough and felt like it wasn’t smooth like it should be so I did the windowpane test. I followed the instruction online by putting the wet ingredients then the dry, and select the dough function. I was very excited to try the bread on my machine. I recently got a bread machine from a friend (Zojirushi BBCC-s15), which seems like a reliable brand. I made bread before by hand and stand mixer. I thought abut giving up on this bread but then your method of making it made me want to try it again! Now this could be my problem. I have tried one recipe from the internet but it didn’t turn out like it should be. I’ve been searching a Hokkaido bread recipe until I found your site. Braided Raisin Walnut Bread (Tangzhong Method).Japanese Green Tea Bread with Red Bean Fillings.Japanese Style Bacon and Cheese Bread (with detailed steps of making tangzhong).Remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Bake in a pre-heated 180C (356F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until turns brown. The best temperature for 2nd round proofing is 38C, humidity 85%. With seal facing down (see picture 7), place in the loaf tins to have the 2nd round of proofing (see picture 8), until double in size. With seal upward, roll into a cylinder (see picture 6). Roll flat and stretch to about 30cm in length (see picture 5). Then fold 1/3 from bottom to the middle and press (see picture 4). Fold 1/3 from top edge to the middle and press (see picture 3). Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin into an oval shape (See picture 2).Cover with cling wrap, let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature. Deflate and divide into 3 equal portions (see picture 1). Transfer the dough to a clean floured surface.Then let the dough complete the 1st round of proofing, about 40 minutes, best temperature for proofing is 28C, humidity 75%, until double in size. The time of kneading in the breadmaker is about 30 minutes. When all ingredients come together, pour in the melted butter, continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. (Note: I used to make a small well in the bread flour, then add the yeast into it.) Select the “dough” mode (refer to the menu of your breadmaker to select the kneading dough programme). Add all ingredients (except butter) into a breadmaker, first the wet ingredients (milk, cream, egg, tangzhong), then followed by the dry ingredients (salt, sugar, milk powder, bread flour, yeast). 6/6/2023 0 Comments Lynyrd skynyrd i know a littleHe’d order room service and eat with his guitar on. Every time I ever went to his house or his hotel room, he had his black Les Paul on. He used to piss us off because he could do so many things that me and Allen couldn’t. “Steve was so good, he was a freak of nature. He put us back in the frame of mind we had had at the beginning we started getting together and jamming at night. We needed a spark of inspiration, and Steve provided it. We were still selling a lot of tickets and records, but the music was getting a little boring to us. When he joined, we were kind of in a lull. “Steve had a lot to do with the writing and arrangements throughout this album and his playing was so good it really inspired us. I’ve never heard anybody, including any of us, play his picking part quite right. “He was a great songwriter and singer – and an incredible guitarist. “This song sums up what Steve Gaines, who wrote it, meant to the band,” says Gary Rossington. The song then kicks into another gear at 2:32, locking into a Gimme Three Steps-type feel, featuring rhythm parts similar to the Rolling Stones’ Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.Ī demo of this tune is also included as a bonus track on the 1997 reissue of Second Helping, and the track was also subsequently included on the 1998 compilation, The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd. The simple and plaintive feel of the music is reminiscent of one of the band’s biggest influences, the British band Free, which featured legendary guitar great Paul Kossoff. With guitars and bass tuned down one half, the primary rhythm guitar during the verse sections arpeggiates through the D5/D7-G5-C5 chord progression in steady 16th notes, over which Ronnie Van Zant sings a bluesy/Appalachian folk melody while guitarist Gary Rossington adds subtle slide guitar fills in standard tuning. The songs recorded during these sessions were first issued in September 1978, about a year after the October 1977 tragic plane crash, as Skynyrd’s First and…Last, and later reissued in 1998 as Skynyrd’s First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album. Was I Right or Wrong is a song recorded during the band’s very first recording sessions in 1971-72 at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. The guitar solo section ramps things up a notch higher with a classic, high-energy Allen Collins solo, after which the song settles back into the quieter verse arrangement. The classic harder-edged Skynyrd feel comes in right at the song’s powerful chorus section, accentuated by Rossington’s bluesy and melodic slide guitar licks. This is another track recorded during the band’s initial Muscle Shoals studio sessions of 1971-72, released posthumously on Skynyrd’s First and…Last (and Skynyrd’s First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album) as well as 1998’s The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd.Ĭomin’ Home, an original track written by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant, displays more of a country/rock feeling than many of the harder, bluesier tunes recorded during these sessions, and displays the influence of west coast late Sixties rock bands like the Youngbloods and Quicksilver Messenger Service.Ĭollins’ flat-picked arpeggiated guitar part has a fingerpicked, banjo-esque feel, embellished by country style piano fills. 6/6/2023 0 Comments 2 false and 1 true gameJust like ostriches, emus are ratites (flightless birds).
