The New iPad? What the Hell kind of name is that? People are wonder. A major blunder by Tim Cook. Come on Tim, what kind of name is that? People don’t know what to call it. Is it The iPad 3, The New iPad? What? Major questions are being raised. Prior to 10 Am California time yesterday the questions being asked where what the new iPad was going to be? Were the rumors correct, new high-resolution retina display a more powerful processor, better camera? Yes these all cam true. A cheaper 16 GB iPad 2 at $399. came true as well. The 7″ iPad not true. But the name Time? New iPad that’s gotta go. Maybe it will. Is this just a interim name? Will the name be changed once New iPads start physically going out to customers, or will this Crazy Name “The New iPad” remain? Yes, people are wondering.
Yes no major changes like the ability to increase GB with a SD slot or a USB port, two things people have been crying for but Apple with their Tyrannic Rule make you adhere to their Iron Rule and Control of The Apple Universe all in effort and success to grab as much of your money as possible and monopolize control. Apple is not gonna let you buy more Memory from Scandisk or any other company, they “Want It All” to themselves. Yes, Dictate and control, that’s Apple, like it or not, that’s the way it is.
Well, until the next iPad, 4 or what, iPhone 5 or what. It’s an Apple Universe and we only live in it.

These are some of the questions being asked about Apple’s new iPad. Heck, it may not even be called the “iPad 3″ but The .. iPad HD. Whatever! Speculation that Apple will keep the iPad 2 and sell it for less with a 8GB version. Will there be a 7” iPad? Who knows? Apple….

Yes, we’ve lost another great performer. Well some would beg to differ with me using the phrase great performer for Davy Jones. All except his millions of fans who grew up and loved him in their own ways. I was a young boy of the 60s and loved the Monkees. Mickey was my favorite, but I liked Davy as well and all the boys in there funny hi-jinx. The Monkees was my favorite show which I waited patiently for every Saturday morning for a few years of my youth.
Davy Jones died yesterday, aged 66 of heart attack. Makes me a little sad, such a big part of my childhood. Many girls around my age were madly in love with Davy the good looking lead singer of the band. Yes we are all adults now of middle age and of course you will get a little melancholy thinking back to youth, when you were a child and the things you loved and loved to do. And watching the Monkees was one of those things we loved. Yes most of the girls had crushed on Davy, some on Mickey and maybe a few on Peter or Michael, but without a doubt for the millions of young girls, most were madly In-Love with Davy Jones, the cutest Monkee, no doubt. maybe some guys wanted to be like Davy but probably more like Mickey or Mike.
Anyway, we’ve lost poor Davy and no doubt millions of women aged 45 to 65 are having their own little morning today and the next few. They’ve lost Davy and just a little bit more of there childhood and girlish crushes have disappeared. Life is that way. Davy, we’re sorry to see you go old pal, may you Rest in Peace, up there with Whitney, Amy, Jimi, Jim and Jim. God Bless You Davy, your memory will live on.

Just remembering Pan Am. Oh how I loved that airline, the whole notion of traveling and Jet-Setting around the World in a Pan Am Clipper. A TWA Jet would be acceptable as well, but nothing could beat Pan Am, King of The World Airways for many years. Growing up and going to see movies at the Rivoli Theater in Rutherford New Jersey almost every Saturday, we watched movies and dreamed. Many a movie in the 60’s started out with its opening scene of either a TWA or Pan Am jet-liner landing at in airport of one of the most renowned city destinations of the World: Paris, Rome, London, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo. You would invariably see either a TWA or Pan Am jet landing, it’s tires screeching as the wheels hit the runway, then immediately the next scene would cut to either, traffic around The Coliseum in Rome, The Arch d’ Triumph in Paris, or cars at Piccadilly Circus London, then they cut to the first scene with characters after the jet landings and main city attractions to identify which ever city the movie was first set in.
I especially loved all James Bond movies as I aspired myself to be like Bond, complete with Beautiful Women, fast sports cars, and Jet-Setting around the world, Champagne, Caviar, the whole nine yards. And I grew to love Pan Am.
I dreamed of traveling the World; Paris, Rome, Venice, Hong Kong, I eventually did three times over. And of course you know my first trip abroad just had to be aboard a Pan Am 747 to Rome, Italy. I was in heaven on that flight, a Boeing 747, Champagne, Stewardesses, flying over the Atlantic, destination Rome. And don’t you know the second day I was in Rome after eating my first Tremenzzini, Spaghetti Carbonara, Cod di Vaccinara (Roman Braised Oxtails), and Bucatini Amatriciana and seeing thousands of Vespa Scooters zip around the Eternal City, I just had to rent one. I went to a shop on the Via Cavour, rented my Vespa and headed straight toward The Coliseum 3 blocks away. I got there and circle this Ancient Roman Arena 5 times before going off to explore Roma, “Just like in the Movies.” I was in 7th Heaven. All this; a Pan Am 747, Rome, a Vespa and my youth.

DRUGS? The 27 CURSE?
A very Sad Day in the World of Music. Saturday July 23, 2011.. Amy Winehouse Passed away in London.
Amy struggled with Substance Addiction of Drugs and Alcohol. It’s very Sad that Amy was unable to overcome these Tragic Problems and has now passed on.
Already Newspapers, Magazines, The Media is grabbing on to what is known in the Rock World as
“The Curse of 27” referring to other Famous Rock-Stars who have Died at the Age of 27; Janis Joplin,
Jimi Hendrix, Curt Cobane, and Jim Morrison.
It’s a great Loss to the World of Music, especially when you consider that Amy was one of the “FEW GREAT MUSICAL ARTIST” in a GENERATION of SHITTY MUSIC. They Barely make any Good Music these Days, and Amy Winehouse was one of the Few, with Great Sonfs like; VALERIE, LOVE is A LOSING GAME, and a Great rendition of a Caroll King’Shirelles Masterpiece “WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW.”
Amy, were are so Sorry that you were Unable to Overcome Your Demons. God Bless You and May You Rest in Peace….. You Will Be Missed by MILLIONS

Ever wonder what it would be like to have a book that could be described as A Year in Provence meets New York Italian America? Well that sort of explains La Tavola. A book about Italian-American Friends and Family in New York and the metropolitan area surrounding it. Where tables are filled with
Chianti, Antipasto, Pasta, Sausage, and Meatballs instead of Coq au Vin and Bouf Bourguignon, and the lush rural Sun-Soaked landscape of Provence in The South of France is replaced with Italian-American New Yorker’s in Brooklyn, Jersey, Manhattan, and Da Bronx, home to Dion and The Belmonts, Al Pacino, and Jake LaMotta.
The characters in La Tavola replace the French of A Year in Provence with Italian-Americans, Italian and Italian-American Food replace the French and French Food while Trattoria and Pork Stores are in place of the French by Butcher and Bistros. La Tavola is filled with many wonderful stories of life among the Italians of New York, with many antidotes and info on; who has the Best Sausages or Cannoli, which are the best Italian Restaurants, Caffes, and Italian Pastires. Including 30 Wonderful Recipes from Daniel and his Family. Enjoy!
