iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layering metering sensor
The EOS 6D features Canons multi-layer 63-zone iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance) Metering System that integrates the cameras AF system into its readings. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding the chosen AF point(s), this system delivers accurate results, especially in situations where the light changes quickly. The metering sensor enables evaluative, center weighted, partial and spot metering, plus offers 5-step exposure compensation for perfectly exposed images, every time.
Fast Capture for Fast Action.
High speed continuous shooting up to 4.5 fps allows you to capture fast action.
With continuous shooting speed up to 4.5 frames per second, the EOS 6D keeps up with the action. It is designed to capture the shots photographers want when shooting rapidly unfolding scenes.
Cutting Edge HD Movie Capture.
EOS HD Video with manual exposure control and multiple frame rates
The EOS 6D captures HD video with a level of sophistication on par with professional movie cameras, offering phenomenal performance on a DSLR. It offers both All-I (UHS-I memory card is required) and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of timecoding during recording only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), useful for multi-camera shoots. It also features improved sound recording adjustment capabilities, offering 64-step volume control accessible through the Quick Control screen, as well as a 3.5mm microphone terminal. The CMOS sensors drive system significantly increases image processor performance, reducing color artifacts and moir (a common problem that occurs in scenes with horizontal lines), and ensures that the EOS 6D can record at a number of frame rates up to ISO 25600 in H mode.
Sophisticated Wireless System.
The simplicity and convenience of Wi-Fi, built-in.
The new EOS 6D features built-in Wi-Fi, incorporating cutting edge technology into the cameras compact and lightweight design.

With an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis and a magnesium polycarbonate resin exterior, plus a shutter rated to 100,000 cycles, the EOS 6D offers the perfect combination of lightweight and durable materials for reliable operation day after day.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System for improved vibration-based dust removal
The Integrated Cleaning System featured in the EOS 6D delivers great dust removal for clearer images. To prevent dust accumulation, the system removes particles on the surface of the glass filter by vibrating the glass ultrasonically. The particles are then absorbed by an adsorbent at the bottom of the unit; the unit itself is completely sealed for protection against external contaminants, and the front face of the low-pass glass filter is treated with an anti-dust fluorine coating, making it easier to remove damp or sticky dust particles.
Easy, Low-reflection Viewing.
3.0-inch TFT LCD Monitor
The EOS 6Ds 3.0" TFT LCD monitor has 1,040,000 dots, anti-reflective construction and features Canons Clear View technology for a bright, sharp display in any number of shooting situations. Its ideal for reviewing settings and images, as well as for shooting in Live View mode. In Live View, grid lines can be displayed in 9 sections, 24 sections, or 9 sections with diagonals, as can the electronic level, which helps ensure accurate level by displaying roll. For image review, the EOS 6D has a dedicated Magnify/Reduce button. While pressing the button, zooming in or out (up to 10x) is achieved simply by turning the Main Dial. Images can be protected or erased quickly, individually or in batches, and slideshows can be created with some or all images and can be sequenced by date, folders, movies, stills or rating. A feature guide can be accessed for the selected menu, providing detailed reference information whenever needed.
Amazing Results with Numerous Shooting Modes.
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
With its High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, the EOS 6D can merge 3 images of varying exposure in camera and save them as one final image, capturing a broad range of shadow and highlight detail with stunning tonal range. Adjustable to cover a range of 3 stops, HDR recording truly expands the parameters of the light and dark detail a camera can actually record, surprising viewers with the range of tones a photograph can accurately recreate.
Multiple Exposure Control
The EOS 6D offers a Multiple Exposure mode for film-like image creation with the convenience of in-camera processing. It offers two different compositing methods for proper exposure and composition: additive or average. Multiple exposure shots from 2 to 9 are stored as one final image and can be taken in both RAW and JPEG shooting modes. A RAW image previously captured by the EOS 6D (3:2 aspect ratio only) can be used as a starting point, and cumulative results can be observed and corrected in real time on the camera's LCD screen.
Scene Intelligent Auto mode
An enhanced Scene Intelligent Auto mode incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation.
Special Scene modes
The EOS 6D features a variety of Special Scene modes that achieve high-quality images: Handheld Night Scene and HDR Backlight Control. The Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas by shooting and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake, making dramatic nighttime photography simple. The HDR Backlight Control mode ensures that backlit subjects are not recorded too dark by shooting three consecutive shots at different exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed) and then combining the images; the final result maintains detail in both the shadow and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed.
Easy and Versatile Recording Options.
Compatible with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including new Ultra High Speed cards.
The EOS 6D uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC memory cards, and is even compatible with the newest Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) memory cards. Compact and available in large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the portable EOS 6Ds lightweight design.
More Features, More Capabilities.
Peripheral Illumination Correction, Chromatic Aberration Correction, and Distortion Correction
The EOS 6D features a number of corrective tools to accommodate for the particulars of the lens used. Canons lens peripheral illumination correction feature corrects light falloff in the corner of the image. Chromatic aberration can be corrected at the time of shooting with the EOS 6Ds Chromatic Aberration Correction tool. The Distortion Correction feature corrects distortions such as curved lines by correcting for the characteristics of the particular lens used to take the shot, so images that may have been distorted in the captured image appear straight. The camera has correction data for a number of EF lenses preloaded, and new lenses can be added to the cameras database via EOS Utility. The camera can even distinguish between different lenses of the same model using the serial number (with compatible EF lenses).
Auto Picture Style & Scene Intelligent Auto (A+)
The EOS 6D not only features a number of Canons Picture Style settings but also a Picture Style Auto setting that finely controls color tones for every composition based on information from the cameras EOS Scene Detection System. This can be an effective feature not only in normal scenes, where standard punchy contrast will be used, but also in nature and outdoor scenes, where the blues and greens will look more vivid without the need to switch the cameras Picture Style to Landscape.
In-Camera RAW Processing & JPEG Resize
The EOS 6D features state of the art in-camera RAW processing for quick conversion of RAW files to JPEG with control over size, brightness, WB, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, Noise reduction, color space, distortion correction and more. Additionally, the EOS 6D features expanded Quick Control functions during playback like image protect, image rotate, rating, RAW image processing, resize, highlight alert, AF point and image jump, meaning a streamlined workflow can begin in the field.
The EOS 6Ds comparative playback mode enables images to be played back two at a time, side by side. A tremendous, in-camera timesaver, comparative playback means images can quickly be enlarged simultaneously to compare focus, blur and noise, and can be individually rated, deleted or locked.
The EOS 6D offers a silent, low vibration shooting mode. By slowing down and muting the shutter and mirror reflex action, the camera is capable of handheld, virtually imperceptible operation for discrete shooting in more situations.

Anthony Johnson, a Bellator fighter and two-time UFC title challenger, died on Sunday, 13th November. He died at the age of 38.
He died due to organ failure due to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are rare disorders of the immune system.
Bellator MMA on social media announced Johnson’s death. A Bellator spokesperson said Johnson had been battling illness for more than a year.
Johnson’s last fight was in May 2021. His health was dwindling from that time. Johnson shared an Instagram post in September 2021 saying he “really wish I could go into detail about how ill I truly am.” The condition was serious as mentioned in the same post, “I’ll see you in 2022 god willing…”
He was going through a rough battle that was something other than COVID. The post continues, “…never been this afraid of anything in my life but I’ve remained strong with the support of friends and family.”And, in May 2022, he shared the good news of his health getting better, “Dr. gave me good news…big improvements…”
In his fighting career, Johnson had competed in the UFC at welterweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight. He debuted UFC on June 12, 2007, with a score of 3-0, knocking out Chad Reiner in just 13 seconds in Hollywood, Florida. He soon came to be known as one of the most feared punchers in the sport.
Throughout his career, he was massively bulked up and kept his power with him. In total, Johnson had 17 of his 23 MMA wins by knockouts.
Johnson is a two-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger, losing to Daniel Cormier both times by rear naked choke. Johnson’s final UFC battle for UFC lightweight heavyweight title was in Buffalo, New York, on April 8, 2017. As per his announcement, he retired to open a marijuana business.
He was fighting again on the 7th of May 2021 as he signed with Bellator and fought for the promotion. He knocked out José Augusto Azevedo Barros in round two. He was to fight another match in October 2021 with Bellator’s light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov. But, Johnson was forced to withdraw from the fight due to his illness.
Anthony “Rumble” Johnson’s untimely death has shocked everyone.
Johnson was an engaging and soft-spoken man. He was a fighter who was known for his power, enormous physique, and for difficulty making weight.
Johnson’s closest friend was former UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman. He said that Johnson was a private person and tended to keep his illness hidden as much as possible. He shared that Johnson was like the late actor Chadwick Boseman. “You know, it was a little like Chadwick Boseman.”
Usman further told that Johnson never fully told what was going on. “He didn’t want to be treated differently,” said Usman.
Johnson wanted people to treat him normally, despite what treatments he was going through.
Johnson’s death has reverberated across the MMA community. The fighters are mourning on social media.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – The juggernaut that is "American Idol" just keeps rolling along.
Judges may come (hello, Mariah Carey) and judges may go (goodbye, Steven Tyler, J.Lo and Randy Jackson), but the televised singing contest shows no signs of slowing down. After 11 seasons, it is still one of the highest-rated TV programs of the year and it is still able to crank out future stars to join the ranks of past contestants such as Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert on the way to bigger and better things.
After seeing the 10 finalists from the past season in concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Thursday evening, it is a pretty safe bet this year's crop will keep the winning streak alive.
Headlined by ultra-popular champion Phillip Phillips and runner-up Jessica Sanchez, the top 10 from Season 11 brought the music of Adele, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Bruno Mars and even Led Zeppelin to Wilkes-Barre Township for a somewhat small but nevertheless very enthusiastic crowd.
After an opening number that featured the entire top 10 sans Phillips, eighth-place finisher DeAndre Brackensick was the first to the stage, electrifying the audience with Stevie Wonder's "Master Blaster (Jammin')."
From there, it was a fast-paced, non-stop parade of almost-famous singers belting out the top tunes of today (and a few from yesterday). The road show is pretty much like the TV show, without the drama of the competition, of course. Ryan Seacrest was even there (via video) to introduce the finalists.
Tenth-place finisher Erika Van Pelt did an overly dramatic rendering of a Pink song called "Glitter in the Air" under a gigantic disco ball -- if I didn't know better, I would have thought the song comes from some highfalutin' Broadway show. Van Pelt was used much better later in the show as a background vocalist on songs such as Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," and on "Moves Like Jagger" along with Hollie Cavanaugh (fourth place), Joshua Ledet (third place) and Colton Dixon (seventh place).
After nice showcases by ninth-place finisher Heejun Han on John Legend's "Green Light" and Elise Testone (sixth place) on Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" and Adele's "Rumour Has It," the stage belonged to Dixon for three songs.
Hard to believe from the screams of those present that Dixon finished seventh, but he scored big with Switchfoot's "Meant to Live" before moving to the piano for one of his own songs ("Never Gone") and the Billy Joel classic "Piano Man." Colton told the screaming fans that he has signed a recording contract and will have an album out "really, really soon."
After the intermission, Sanchez took over for a great version of Beyonce's "Best Thing I Never Had," followed quickly by an equally impressive version of Prince's "How Come U Don't Call Anymore?" with Ledet and Brackensick on backing vocals. The trio then pulled off what may have been the highlight of the entire evening, doing "Proud Mary" Ike & Tina Turner-style.
Fifth-place finisher Skylar Laine followed with Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder & Lead" and "Stay With Me" by the Faces, before giving the stage over to Cavanaugh for "Rolling in the Deep" (backed by Testone and Van Pelt) and Demi Lovato's "Give Your Heart a Break."
Ledet scored big with great versions of Bruno Mars ("Runaway Baby") and James Brown ("It's a Man's Man's Man's World") and stuck around to join Sanchez on "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)."
Then came the moment many in the audience were waiting for -- first-place finisher Phillips, who came out with his acoustic guitar for a pumped-up version of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." He followed with two more crowd-pleasers before treating the audience to his own "Home," ably backed by Dixon and Brackensick.
All 10 then took the stage together for the first and only time all evening for the finale "Glad You Came."

Avions Mauboussin and the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM) have teamed up to design Zephyr a hydrogen drive propulsion system for aircraft.
The aircraft was designed for the Alérion M1h and the choice of hydrogen will completely eliminate polluting emissions and the use of fossil fuels. The other advantage is also the reduction of noise and nuisance for residents near aerodromes.
“The Zéphyr system will be available in several powers for the whole range of Mauboussin Aircraft… and other urban or responsible mobility applications (drones, ships, light vehicles, etc.). The solution will be certified according to strict EASA rules for entry into service in the middle of the decade.”
This innovation benefits from the highly developed ecosystem of the hydrogen sector in the Burgundy Franche-Comté region and will integrate the full cycle of (green) production and distribution of hydrogen, for a “turnkey” solution for transport operators and pilots -propriétaires. It will also create a new industrial activity in Nord Franche-Comté.
The study is supported by the BFC region (via the Burgundy Franche-Comté Regional Economic Agency) and Bpifrance.

Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote begins with Jerry Rice vs. Chris Carter
The Madden NFL 25 Cover Vote officially begins next Monday (March 11), but EA Sports and ESPN’s SportsNation launched the vote-by-Twitter play-in round today. The first matchup is Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice versus newly-minted Hall of Fame wide receiver Chris Carter. You can make your selection by tweeting a message of support to Rice (with the hashtag #Madden25Rice) or Carter (with the hashtag #Madden25Carter) now:
— EA SPORTS Madden NFL (@EAMaddenNFL) March 4, 2013
This year’s Madden Cover Vote will include 32 current players versus 32 all-time greats with one of each facing off in the final round. While no one’s seen the final bracket yet, I have to ask, how was Jerry Rice not an automatic pick? The man wasn’t just a great wide receiver, he was the greatest wide receiver.
Of course, Carter is an ESPN analyst (and one of Chris Berman’s favorite players), so I suppose that explains Carter’s challenge of Mr. 80.

The Russian Defense Ministry has denied that the Russian military carried out a missile attack on the train station in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. Ukraine is said to be responsible for the attack, which denies any statements by Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that the Russian military did not launch a missile attack on the railway station in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, even though the city is under Ukrainian control. According to the ministry, Ukrainian troops attacked the Kramatorsk train station from the town of Dobropolje, 45 kilometers away. The statement states:
“The Russian Armed Forces did not carry out or plan any shooting tasks in the city of Kramatorsk on April 8.”
The Russian Defense Ministry underlined that statements by the Ukrainian authorities about an alleged Russian rocket attack on the Kramatorsk railway station on April 8 are “a provocation and in no way correspond to reality”. The Russian military also stated:
“We expressly emphasize that the Tochka submarine tactical missiles, the wreckage of which was found near the Kramatorsk train station and whose pictures were published by witnesses, are used exclusively by the Ukrainian armed forces.”
The Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov also rejected the statements made by the Ukrainian authorities. Peskov literally:
“One should first be guided here by the statement by the Department of Defense, which rules out the use of this missile by our armed forces. Our armed forces do not use this type of missile.”
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian site published photos of Tochka submarine missiles used in the Russian-Belarusian Union Decision 2022 exercise in February. However, only the Belarusian military has these, not the Russian one, according to the Defense Ministry.
In this regard, the Russian ministry recalled that on March 14, a similar Tochka sub-missile launched by a battalion of the 19th missile brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fell in the center of Donetsk, killing 17 local people and injuring 36 other civilians.

Embracing the Crypto Chill: ORDI Token Dominates the Winter Season Surge
As winter sets in, bringing a frosty breeze and the scent of festivities, the cryptocurrency market experiences its kind of winter magic. Amid a broader crypto rally, one token, in particular, is capturing the limelight and ruling the winter season – ORDI.
ORDI Token Soars by 35%
ORDI, a Bitcoin-based BRC-20 token, witnessed a remarkable surge of 35% on a Tuesday that echoed with the cheers of crypto enthusiasts. This surge is not an isolated event but is part of a broader rally in the crypto space, adding an extra layer of excitement to the winter season. The recent resurgence of activity related to the Ordinals protocol has accentuated the token’s ascent, which underpins its functionality.
Impressive Performance Over the Last Month
The ORDI token has been on a meteoric rise, showcasing its resilience and attractiveness to investors. Over the last month alone, it has soared by more than 700%, creating a buzz in the crypto community. As of the latest market data, ORDI was trading at $63.82 at 3:04 p.m. ET, and its market cap stands impressively at $1.3 billion. This stellar performance positions ORDI as a key player in the winter crypto landscape.
Bitcoin-Based Tokens Take Center Stage
Bitcoin-based tokens, including ORDI, continue to carve their niche in the crypto ecosystem. These tokens, built on the Ordinals mechanism, have opened new avenues for innovation. They encompass both fungible tokens, like BRC-20 tokens, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), often featuring captivating digital art.
The Ordinals protocol, as the driving force behind these tokens, has not only contributed to the expansion of the token landscape but has also introduced novel concepts that resonate with the broader crypto community. As Bitcoin continues to assert its influence, Bitcoin-based tokens become intriguing avenues for both seasoned investors and newcomers looking to partake in the winter rally.
Winter Wonderland: ORDI’s Journey Ahead
As ORDI establishes its dominance in the winter season rally, the crypto community eagerly watches its trajectory. The token’s impressive surge is a testament to the dynamism of the crypto market and the unique appeal of Bitcoin-based tokens. With winter festivities in full swing, ORDI adds its touch of magic to the crypto landscape, promising an exciting journey ahead. Investors and enthusiasts alike buckle up, for the winter wonderland of cryptocurrencies has a new ruler, and its name is ORDI.

PM Modi lays foundation stone for redevelopment of 508 railway stations
- IBJ Bureau
- Aug 07, 2023
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday laid the foundation stone for redevelopment of 508 railway stations across the country virtually. The redeveloped stations would cost more than Rs 24,470 crore.
The chosen 508 stations are spread across 27 States and Union Territories, including 55 each in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, 49 in Bihar, 44 in Maharashtra, 37 in West Bengal, 34 in Madhya Pradesh, 32 in Assam, 25 in Odisha, 22 in Punjab, 21 each in Gujarat and Telangana, 20 in Jharkhand, 18 each in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, 15 in Haryana and 13 in Karnataka, among others.
Mr Modi said that those stations were a part of the plan – Amrit Bharat Stations scheme, in which almost 1,300 prime railway stations in the country will be redeveloped.
Mr Modi mentioned that 55 Amrit Stations would be developed at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, 34 stations in Madhya Pradesh at the cost of Rs 1,000 crore, 44 stations in Maharashtra at Rs 1,500 crore, and prime railway stations in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, among others will be redeveloped.
Master Plans were being prepared for the development of these stations as ‘City Centres’, with proper integration of both sides of the city. This integrated approach is driven by the holistic vision of the overall urban development of the city, centred on the railway station. These stations will have better seating on platforms, upgraded waiting rooms and free Wi-Fi, among other things.

BEETHOVEN, SCHUMANNJolas, Beethoven, Schumann
Duration: 80 minutes + interval
Great Romantic Impulses
This programme presents two major works from the classical repertoire. Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony was so well received at its première in 1813 that the second movement, Allegretto, had to be encored. The symphony relies upon an irresistible Dionysian rhythmic motif, first heard in the long, expanded introduction, which returns constantly, with vigour, vehemence or subtlety, in the course of the four movements, in which the composer develops a masterly art of melody. The Cello Concerto, which Schumann wrote in just two weeks, on his arrival in Düsseldorf in 1850, enabled him to reconnect with the instrument he had studied in his youth. It is regarded as one of his more enigmatic works. He revised it over and over again and it was not premièred until 1860, four years after his death.
The concert opens with the intimacy and fine humour of Franco-American composer Betsy Jolas’s Well Met Suite, which was premièred in July 2016 for her ninetieth birthday. It is the third version of a piece written in 1973, described by the composer as having been “conceived as the wordless evocation of a concert rehearsal. Entrance and setting up of bass, cellos and violas; tuning up, sight-reading, playing bits of duets and trios, but constantly disturbed by the seven violins practicing outside and who are finally made to quiet down.” A passionate teacher, like her own teachers Darius Milhaud and Olivier Messiaen, Betsy Jolas has remained an independent figure, resisting all influences, while remaining true to her legacies (Monteverdi, Schumann, Debussy) and following her own personal path.

Labour leadership concerned but unwilling to block former secretary-general’s candidature
Jason Micallef refuses to resign as One TV chairman.
7 August 2012, 12:00am
As party secretary-general, Micallef had in the past imposed that all staff at One TV should resign from their posts if they chose to stand as candidates.
But Micallef has since strained relations with many of Joseph Muscat's lieutenants and his relations with the party leader are considered to be far from good.
The decision by the PL administration to appoint Micallef as chairman of One TV was interpreted as a sop to convince Micallef to move out quietly from the PL's administration.
Members of Muscat's inner circle describe Micallef as a "loose cannon" due to what they perceive is his boisterousness and owing to the fact that he tends to put himself in the limelight with an ostentatious lifestyle: his personal vehicle, a Mercedes Benz, seems to have fuelled this perception among some Labour insiders.
But more importantly, his decision to put forward his candidature comes after Muscat publicly thanked him in the last general conference for deciding not to stand for the national elections.
The sudden change of heart has shocked the PL administration.
Sources at One TV told MaltaToday that Jason Micallef refuses to resign as chairman of One TV, even though the post creates a conflict of interest with his candidature.
Micallef believes that he has a good chance of winning, though he is up against deep-seated or so called 'star candidates' in the Mosta constituency which all come armed with the vote-winning 'blessing' of the party leadership.
His relations are not only strained with many of Muscat's inner circle, but more importantly with deputy leader Anglu Farrugia, who is a heavyweight candidate and parliamentarian renowned to have clashed with Micallef.
The other parliamentarians in the constituency are hospital paramedic and MP Anthony Agius Decelis, and GP Michael Farrugia, who is now being threatened by the arrival of 'star candidate' Deborah Schembri, the pro-divorce campaigner and former Nationalist who jumped on the Labour bandwagon and stands a good chance of attracting disgruntled Nationalist voters.
With such strong candidates, Micallef will struggle to get elected, and the next few weeks will determine whether he will stay on or leave as chairman of One TV.

Today is the last day. The last full day before Harry Potter is no more. It all ends.
I grew up with Harry Potter. It will always that book that got me interested in reading, that left me wanting more.
I first started reading the books in 1999 (I was 13). The second book was already out and I spotted the first one in the book store. I read through both books fairly quickly and had to wait a whole year to get the third book. The wait was terrible.
I remember when I was looking at high schools with my parents. We had gone on one tour (I don't even remember the name of the school) and I knew it wasn't the one for me. My second tour was at Westtown. From the moment I stepped on the campus I felt like I was at Hogwarts. This is part of the reason the main reason why I fell in love with this school. While my high school experience didn't have magical beings and butterbeer at the Belfry, it was a boarding school just like the Harry Potter gang.
After my first year of college Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince came out, the 6th book in the Harry Potter series. I was staying with my mom over the summer and she went out of town the week the book came out. I remember being alone at the house, pouring through the pages on a beautiful summer day. I was trying to make it through as quickly as I could but at the same time, trying to savour every sentence. My mom called to check up on me one day while I was nearing the end of the book. I answered the phone sobbing and mumbling words to myself. "He's dead." "I can't believe he's dead." For half a moment, my mom was half scared that something had happened to someone we knew...then she remembered, ah Harry Potter. "Dum---dum--ble---dore he died." She mumbled something like, "I don't know what a dummy door is but I'm glad you are enjoying your book."
My junior year of college I took a Harry Potter class. Yes, I went to a college that offered the study of Harry Potter and yes, it was amazing. We studied the symbols and what they represented, the mythological references and we discussed what a world filled with mandrakes would be like. For once, I didn't regret having to buy hundred of dollars worth of textbooks because these books were cool. I mean come on, who buys Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?
So, tonight is the end. Tonight I'll be joining my favorite Potter buddies for the final event. We'll start at Owen & Engine which has the styling of the Gryffindor common room. From there, we'll mosey over to the theater and partake in the final movie of Harry Potter. Here's to the end.

Flesh-N-Bone Arrested at Cleveland Concert
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper Flesh-N-Bone was handcuffed at the group’s hometown concert in Cleveland’s House of Blues on Sunday night (March 28).
According to Toledo news station WTOL, Flesh, born Stanley Howse, was arrested on two outstanding warrants, stemming from domestic abuse and gun charges in 1999.
The arrest reportedly put an abrupt end to the concert. As previously reported Bone Thugs are currently on tour. As of press time the group has yet to make any statements on how the arrest will affect their tour schedule. —Elan Mancini

When we are in New Orleans one of our favorite meals is the Po’Boy or “Poor Boy” sandwich, a crusty 6 or 12 inch French bread roll traditionally stuffed with fried seafood, or as we learned, roast beef. You can find these classic po’boys all across the New Orleans area, but the sky is now the limit, and more avant-garde restaurants like Killer Poboys (811 Conti St, Erin Rose Bar, New Orleans) are doing vegan and internationally-influenced Po’boys. Our favorite Po’Boys are probably the classic fried shrimp ones from Parkway Bakery (538 Hagan Ave., New Orleans), however we also love trying new places, and on our latest trip, we deeply enjoyed the garlic fried oyster po’boy from stalwart restaurant Liuzza’s On the Track (1518 N Lopez St, New Orleans – half po’boy pictured below with their signature gumbo). The exact origin of Po’boys is shrouded in mystery, as most good food origin stories are, but the New Orleans weekly Where Y’At has a deep dive into its murky origins.

We have already sung the praises of the zeppole for St. Joseph’s Day (March 19), but it almost always overshadows the similar fried confection, the sfinge (or sfingi). The sfinge, like the zeppole, is stuffed, fried dough with Southern Italian origins. However, while the zeppole is filled with custard, the sfinge is filled with ricotta cream, much like a cannoli. Both are topped with candied fruit. We also think the sfinge has more of a cream puff texture versus the doughnut texture of the zeppole (don’t tell, but we might like sfinge better!). You can find sfinge around March 19 at any good Southern Italian style bakery. This is one treat we wont be attempting to make at home, but here is a recipe from Cooking with Nonna, of you are feeling advanced. We especially like the sfinge from Angelo Brocato (214 N Carrollton Ave.) in New Orleans and Palermo Bakery (7312 E Irving Park Rd) in Norridge, right outside Chicago. Astoria, Queens is also a hotbed for Sfinge.
We always love to get Cajun and Creole food when we are in New Orleans, but we are also impressed at how much international cuisine and fine dining is present in the city. On our latest trip, we were excited to learn about James Beard-winning chef Alon Shaya’s eponymous modern Israeli restaurant in the Garden District, Shaya (4213 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA).
The key feature of Shaya is the impressive wood-burning stove in the corner of the bright, airy restaurant. The stove was running at full tilt during lunch, and it was fun to watch the pita being pulled out of the oven and being brought right to the table. The menu at Shaya is vegetable-focused and that shines through the menu. For lunch one of the most popular items is the salatim – where you select from a variety of small plates to share (3 for $15 or 5 for $23). Salatim means “salad” and refers to the assortment of cold dishes that serve as a kind of appetizer for Israeli meals.
We were really excited to sample some salatim that we had never heard of: Ikra (whipped cream cheese, caviar and shallots), Lutenitsa (roasted pepper, eggplant, garlic and tomato) and the more familiar Labneh (yogurt with peppers and radishes) and Tabouleh (parsley and bulgar salad). Each of the salatim had a unique flavor profile, and we loved the lush, creamy flavors of the Labneh and Ikra, and the piquant peppers of the Lutenitsa (also popular in Balkan and Eastern European cuisines).
We had also heard great things about Shaya’s hummus, which comes in varieties from plain tahini ($9) to more exotic takes with curry, eggplant, or lamb ragu. We selected a variety with asparagus and crispy shallots, which was perfect for early spring. The hummus was creamy and rich and we absolutely could not get enough of the pita, which we sopped up every morsel of hummus with. Fortunately, you can get as many pita refills as you want.
Beyond the salatim there were soup and salads (including matzoh ball soup and a fresh cucumber salad), small plates (ranging from halloumi cheese to the ubiquitous avocado toast), and sandwiches like the classic Israeli staple, the sabich. For the rest of our lunch we selected L’s favorite: falafel ($12) and the lamb kofte ($15) along with the roasted Brussels sprouts. The kofte was shaped into more of a patty, and was topped with tomato jam, herbs, tahini, and served over a bed of white beans. It was like the best kebab you ever had and a burger had a baby, with a sprinkling of spice. The falafel was our favorite variety, crispy and bright green from the high herb content, and they were each clearly fried to order.
The grand finale was the chocolate Babka cake, served in a small cast-iron skillet. We are huge fans of babka, a sweet brioche loaf marbled with chocolate, and Shaya’s version was divine – and drenched in a caramel sauce (there now appears to be a cinnamon variety on the menu). Shaya reminded us a lot of Zahav restaurant in Philadelphia, another modern Israeli powerhouse, which is a good thing. However, the fresh pita really sent Shaya over the top. This place is the real deal! Alon Shaya is opening up 2 more restaurants, and we can’t wait to see what else he has in store.
We are heading to New Orleans for two of our favorite only-in-New-Orleans events, St. Joseph’s Day (March 19) and the Sunday closest to it, known as “Super Sunday” (which we can assure you has nothing to do with the Super Bowl). Super Sunday is the day when Mardi Gras Indians parade their finery through the streets, and St. Joseph’s Day is a holiday with origins in Sicily that celebrates the miracle of St. Joseph saving the island from famine (see our previous coverage here). And oddly enough, these two days are related, and Mardi Gras Indians also march on St. Joseph’s night.
Though other areas in the US obviously have Sicilian-American populations, the tradition of the St. Joseph’s Day altar is observed with fervor in New Orleans, owing to its particularly concentrated Sicilian population. St. Joseph’s Day is observed in New Orleans to a much larger degree than it is elsewhere, even Sicily. Every Catholic church and high school in greater New Orleans seems to have an elaborate St. Joseph’s Day altar, and they can range from modest altars in homes to unthinkably huge, sometimes taking up the entire Church community center. The altars, contributed to by parishioners and the community, traditionally have three tiers and are decked out with statues, flowers, photos, candles and food. All of the photos in this post are from altars we visited in 2016.
Typical St. Joseph’s Day altars are decked out with tons of food, including citrus, fanciful breads in shapes representing Joseph’s trade as a carpenter (or even fish or figures), whole fish, dozens of varieties of cookies, fava beans, and more (You may even see a lamb cake or two). And if you visit a church on St. Joseph’s Day in New Orleans you will probably be treated to a bowl of Pasta Milanese or other meatless favorites. Pasta Milanese is similar to pasta con sarde, but with tomatoes, and of course you have to top it with breadcrumbs, representing the Joseph’s carpentry sawdust – check out this recipe from Sicilian Girl.
Our favorite St. Joseph’s Day food is probably the fig-filled cuccidati cookie, which are also traditionally made at Christmas. We bought a cookbook on St. Joseph’s Day at one of the churches we visited a few years ago, which now provides us with our go-to cuccidati recipe. The St. Joseph’s Day altars are cookie heaven, and volunteers spend weeks making literally tens of thousands of cookies for some of the larger altars. We also like to seek out some of the unique foods that are probably unseen outside of a single parish, like the amazing, giant, fleur-de-lis crawfish-shaped “Craw-fig” cookie below, that we spotted on an altar in Metairie.
At the end of St. Joseph’s Day, the altar is symbolically broken in the “Tupa tupa” ceremony and the food and donations are distributed to charity. You will probably also get handed a fava bean for luck, and a bag of cookies to take home. And if you manage to steal a lemon from the altar it means you will get married (or have a baby) by the next St. Joseph’s Day. We love to go around New Orleans and the surrounding area on St. Joseph’s Day and visit all of the altars, since no two are alike. For 2018 we found a few guides (Italian American Center, ABC) to all of the St. Joseph’s Day churches in the area.
New Orleans is one of our favorite food cities (heck, ANY type of city) in the US. Unfortunately, it seems like NOLA only enters the general public consciousness around Mardi Gras Time (which is right around the corner). We like to go to New Orleans on Super Sunday, the big Mardi Gras Indian parade day, and while there is a ton of street food available at the parade, the standout was sweet potato and pecan pies from Tee-Eva’s. When we were at Super Sunday in 2016, we happened upon the ebullient Miss Eva Perry herself, selling her homemade pralines and pies to the crowds, and chatting with everyone like they were old friends. And we have to say, this was the best pecan pie we have ever had! Fortunately we found out that Tee-Eva also has a long-standing bricks and mortar shop (5201 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70115), so you can sample some delicious treats (and full-sized pies) any time you are in NOLA. Definitely take some time to explore outside of the French Quarter and visit Tee-Eva’s!
When we set out to New Orleans we were excited to stuff ourselves with as much Cajun and Creole food as possible (which we did), but we are always open to a good international meal, no matter where we are. Little did we know that we would get an authentic taste of Africa right in the middle of New Orleans, and actually gain a new country in the process – Gambia! Turns out New Orleans is home to a stalwart African restaurant with roots in both Gambia and Cameroon – Bennachin (1212 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70116).
We are going to New Orleans at the end of this week, one of our favorite food destinations! To prep for our journey we’ve been doing a lot of of research into what food we want to eat, and what music we want to hear (answer: EVERYTHING). Appropriately, we unearthed a food story at the junction of food and music that involves one of New Orleans’ favorite sons, Louis Armstrong. It turns out that along with being the lauded musicians that he was, Louis Armstrong was a major foodie. In fact, he often signed his letters, “Red Beans and Rice-ly yours,” after his favorite dish. In 1971, Louis Armstrong gave one of his final performances, which was then released as an album, also called Red Beans and Rice-ly Yours with a booklet of his favorite recipes. The rare album has been recently reissued with recipes intact: red beans and rice and all.
Red beans and rice have long been an iconic part of New Orleans cuisine, and every cook makes them a different way, though ham hocks and the holy trinity of onion, celery and bell peppers are the traditional flavorings. NPR details Armstrong’s international food adventures, including finding the only Chinese restaurant in Nairobi, and also provides and transcribes his original, personal recipe for red beans and rice, which you can see below. It turns out the Armstrong isn’t the only one musician who loved Red Beans and Rice, other New Orleans musicians and residents have adopted the dish as their favorite meal to share for years.
We can hardly believe it – but Mardi Gras is next Tuesday – February 9th! Nowhere does Mardi Gras like New Orleans, and an integral part of the celebration in the city is the iconic purple, yellow and green King Cake. However, if you are in New Orleans around this time of year you are completely spoiled for choice. So that’s where the King Cake Database comes into play – you can search by name, neighborhood or by type of king cake desired (traditional, dietary specifications, etc.). Laissez les bons temps rouler!
[updated 2/2016] Happy Mardi Gras! In Chicago, the classic Mardi Gras treat of choice is the Paczki, however we are also big fans of a fried doughy treat right out of New Orleans, the beignet! While we are not going to be near Cafe Du Monde, we are hoping to get some of that NOLA spirit, so where to go in Chicago? It turns out there are quite a few places. You can get beignets in Chicago at Jimmy’s which specialized in NOLA-style beignets, Big Jones and our new favorite beignet: Butcher & Burger, which also serves Cafe Du Monde coffee. Of course, you can always make your own. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Parkway Bakery and Tavern
538 Hagan Ave.
New Orleans, LA
It’s been nearly two years since we first became obsessed with New Orleans’ quintessential local sandwich, the Po’Boy. Though we had heard of them before coming to Louisiana, and they are available at a few Southern spots in Chicago, our first real experience with Po’Boys in NOLA was in November 2011 at the Oak Street Po’Boy festival. That day we tried a bunch of different sandwiches, but our Po’Boy from Parkway Bakery and Tavern was among our favorite samples. We think of the festival as a pretty formative experience, and we even had a paper Parkway Bakery hat we kept as a souvenir. Though we won’t make it back to the Fest again this year, we were lucky enough to spend a day in New Orleans on our Louisiana tour, and made it a priority to seek out Parkway’s on-site offerings, widely claimed to be the best and city, produced in a restaurant and which claims to be the place where the Po’Boy sandwich originated.
A Po’Boy sandwich (short for Poor Boy) consists of a particular type of French roll, with a crusty exterior and soft interior, filled (traditionally) with fried fish or seafood (we are partial to fried shrimp) and “dressed” with mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. As we learned at the Po’Boy fest, the term really encompasses a wide range of sandwiches, and the filling could truly be anything you have a taste for. Parkway in Mid City, is (thankfully) far off the tourist track, though it is certainly a popular place with locals from all walks of life. When you walk into Parkway Tavern you are first greeted by an unassuming bar and a handful of tall table. However, you can either order at the bar or at the walk-up counter and then wait for a place at a communal table either indoors or outdoors.
Parkway has a pretty extensive menu of Po’Boys, including fried shrimp, fried oyster, fried catfish, fried sweet potato (for the vegetarians among us), BBQ beef, and many more. There are non-Po’Boy options available, but we question both the sanity and taste level of those who order them. Wanting to be traditionalists on this day, we opted for the classic fried shrimp Po’Boy while M’s dad went eclectic and got a “Surf ‘N Turf,” a combo of shrimp and roast beef, considered a Parkway specialty and client favorite. We placed our order and the counter and waited patiently for our name to be called. A few minutes (which seemed like an eternity) later we were delivered our picture-perfect Po’Boys – see proof below.
The Parkway Po’Boy is truly a thing of beauty. The key to a good Po’Boy is the combination of ingredients on the crusty bread, and at Parkway, everything seemed to work in perfect harmony. The chefs care as well: even given the very high output, this was our first experience with the men behind the counter carefully double-checking our order to make sure they got everything right. And did they: the shrimp we freshly fried (turnover would seem to guarantee that), the portion was more than generous, and the toppings balanced the sandwich perfectly. We all opted for the “regular” size Po’Boys, which was more than enough: though it may be possible for a single person to finish a “large,” we wouldn’t recommend it. If you are extra-hungry there are Zapp’s potato chips and a few desserts, too. If we lived in New Orleans we know this would be one of our favorite spots. Though we always have more places to try, we can’t help but agree with the locals: The Best Po’Boys in NOLA in an unpretentious, local spot for a great price. We’ll have to make the pilgrimage every year.
Last weekend we had the good fortune to visit M’s dad in Louisiana – where we had a fun time exploring Baton Rouge, Cajun Country, and even spending a day in New Orleans. We had a lot of fun seeing the sights and eating as much as we could, from every type of cuisine available (including some tasty grub at an extravagant LSU tailgate). In the next few weeks we’ll be talking about some of the places we were fortunate enough to visit, thanks to recommendations from friends, family and even ETW readers. In the mean time, here are the stops we made on our food journey:
- Southern Dawgz, Baton Rouge
- Chelsea’s, Baton Rouge
- Tsunami, Baton Rouge
- Parkway Bakery and Tavern, New Orleans
- Cafe du Monde, New Orleans
- Roberto’s River Road Resataurant, Sunshine, LA
- The Cabin, Burnside, LA
930 Tchoupitoulas Street
New Orleans, LA
We are big fans of smaller, cheaper branches of upscale restaurants, (Xoco, etc.) since we like good food, but we like it even more when it is cheap. Cochon Butcher is the casual spinoff of more upscale spot Cochon, which has long been a darling of the NOLA foodie scene. It was made even more attractive of an option, being one of the few places in the Central Business District (CBD – where our hotel was) that was open on a Thursday night. The offerings at Cochon Butcher mostly consisted of small plates and sandwiches, though it is also a working deli and a bar as well (you can even see the meats curing right there on the wall). The Cochon Butcher sandwiches all featured the in-house charcuterie and the selection of sandwiches varies nightly. We can tell it’s a popular place, when we arrived at 8PM; some varieties had long been sold out.
Among the remaining options we opted for the Carolina BBQ pulled pork ($10), and the muffaletta ($12). So, one obvious choice and one more adventurous one. NOLA is not exactly known for its BBQ – though it has amazing food. However, we never miss the chance to try some good BBQ from a respectable southern restaurant. The pulled pork had a North Carolina style sauce, and was absolutely perfectly seasoned, right down to the pink smoke rings (yum). On the other hand, ordering a Muffaletta in New Orleans is a very obvious choice. The Muffaletta – probably one of the most famous sandwiches in New Orleans – was piled high with deli cuts on a large focaccia roll with olive relish. Though not perhaps as famous as Central Grocery’s, Cochon Butcher made an amazing Muffaletta, with their homemade charcuterie and olive spread.
We finished off the meal with something else that we cannot pass up at a good Southern restaurant – a bowl of Mac & Cheese ($6). This variety came with a helping of Pancetta. M is much more of a fan of Pancetta than L – so she was a bit wary to try this offering – however we were both pleasantly surprised. – the highlight of all of the dishes was probably the Mac & Cheese. It was extremely decadent and not overpowered by the Pancetta at all. For the price, Cochon Butcher has amazing quality, and for a bit more of an expense-account dinner we’d love to try Cochon.

When we were looking for places to eat in New Orleans we were warned against the French Quarter restaurants for being generally high-priced and too tourist-centric. However, there were a few diamonds in the rough, including Coop’s Place. For Southern cooking in the vicinity of the French quarter this is one of your best options. Coop’s, with less than a dozen rickety table and a retro bar, probably qualifies as a hole in the wall. Coop’s also has a pretty strict seating policy – no reservations allowed – you just tell the hostess your party size. The host then continuously scans the line (which often snakes around the block) and when one of the tables in the tiny place opens up with your group size– you’re in (even if that 2-top that just got a table arrived a half hour later than your 4-top)!
The menu at Coop’s is pretty extensive and has touches of both Cajun and Creole cooking. A posted menu board also lists some daily specials including Shrimp Etouffee and Alligator. M couldn’t decide among the options – so he was really pleased that there was a sample platter featuring some Southern Favorites ($12.95) – Jambalaya, Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, and some BBQ shrimp and pasta. M was especially a fan of the jambalaya and gumbo, both of which were extremely flavorful and full of spice. The BBQ shrimp was also good, but could not measure up to the other offerings.
Cafe du Monde
800 Decatur Street
New Orleans, LA
There are some places that are tourist draws for a reason – and still manage to turn out good food even with the constant onslaught of crowds. Cafe du Monde is one of those places. Since 1862, Cafe du Monde has been turning out world-famous beignets with cups of trademark chicory coffee. You can wither choose to sit in the historic open-air tent or take your coffee and beignets to go. Either way, expect a line, even though CdM is open 24h!
A beignet is really nothing more than a fried piece of dough, doused with a heaping helping of powdered sugar; however, like the descriptions of many of our favorite baked goods, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Chicory coffee, again deceptively simple, is basically a strong coffee blend mixed with chicory root. It is a pretty divisive topic – people either love it or don’t get its appeal, I think I am a fan so far (though M doesn’t drink coffee so his verdict is still out).
We arrived at Cafe du Monde on a pleasant fall day, and decided to enjoy our treats in nearby Jackson Park – so we headed straight for the takeout line. The line went pretty rapidly (an order or two of beignets seemed to pretty much be the standard order) and the cashier was hyper-efficient (as the cashiers at this type of high-volume operation tend to be). Within a minute or two we were out – a small pack of three beignets and a cup of chicory coffee in our possession. The beignets especially were amazing, totally fresh and way more delicious than they needed to be. Moreover – we were covered in clouds of powdered sugar for the next few hours. The pigeons of Jackson Park enjoyed the powdered sugar even more than we did, however. We’d love to try to make beignets someday, but I think we’d prefer a return trip to New Orleans.

Google has unveiled its latest Pixel phones for 2020, the Pixel 5 5G, a 5G model of the Pixel 4a, and the Pixel 5. Too many, it's a confusing bunch. Let's take a further look and compare the spec and features of the Google Pixel 4, 4a, 4a 5G and Pixel 5.
In addition to launching the Pixel 5 today, Google unveiled the Pixel 4a 5G, a larger, 5G-enabled version of Google’s mid-range smartphone the Pixel 4a. It features a bigger 6.2in screen, larger battery, the same two cameras on the back and the same Snapdragon 765G chip as the Pixel 5, but has the same plastic body and design as its smaller, cheaper sibling.
Google launched the Pixel 4a back in August, and the mid-range smartphone is is now available to pre-order on O2, ahead of it going on sale on 1st October. The Pixel 4a has a 4.5% bigger screen than its predecessor but its body is 5.8% smaller overall. At only 144mm in length, 69.4mm in width, 8.8mm in thickness and weighing 143g, the Pixel 4a is one of the smallest phones you can buy in 2020.

Hi! We are four year old Giant Schnauzers who live on the East Coast with our family. We were adopted by our new family from the Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas. We are very well behaved (most of the time) and we really love each other. Here you will find out about our adventures and see lots of pictures of us.

Our Sister Smokie
Here's our big sister Smokie. She's 10 and she's been here her whole life. She likes to keep us in line.
Occasionally, the dogs like to take their positions on the stairs. This is great, unless you need to go up or down the stairs. :) Walking over the dogs can be dangerous, if they decide to stand up suddenly so I generally discourage them from getting too comfortable on the steps.
Baron and Anka are very close to each other. We were required to adopt them together because they love each other so much. Here they are wrestling, which is something they really enjoy!
The dogs were groomed last week. The groomer bathed them in pumpkin scented shampoo, doused them in pumpkin spice perfume, and put Halloween bandanas on them. Even though these dogs are far from the doggie spa type, they smelled and looked so good!! I was sorry when the smell wore off and was replaced with their usual dog smell. :) I have to bathe them every week to keep them smelling fresh. Baron and Anka went to the vet this week and spent two nights there. They had to get their updated shots anyway and we were heading out to the mountains for a mini-trip. Smokie was lucky enough to come with us. She loves to ride in the car and liked having us all to herself! Click the pictures to enlarge. Have a great day!
