Someone in a scope said it looked like Bono breathed in a lot of fog from fog machines. Did they have those on the US tour? If that's the cause at least it seems it would be relatively temporary.
Late arriving for this thread - I'm on vacation/holiday right now.
Whatever the cause, fog machine and/or the vagaries of human existence, Bono will be back and stronger than ever. If the beneficent people of Germany were able to fix his back (some of the medical ones anyway), the positive vibes from the people of Berlin, of Germany, of Europe, and of all U2 fans everywhere will get him through.
I'm just very happy that there are stops in Germany later in the tour - that makes rescheduling this show a lot easier.
When I saw The Police reunion tour back in 2007/08, Sting lost his voice somewhat regularly (in fact, the show where I was supposed to see them originally in Philadelphia was one of the ones that was rescheduled due to his losing his voice). He got through that just fine, and, until U2360, that was the biggest grossing tour of all-time due to the countless shows they did.
All love to Bono and his angelic voice! (...and an honorary MacPhisto - I'm glad he available to be chosen

Was watching footage of last night's show when I saw that tonight's show got axed. Hope Bono's okay and gets the rest he needs. Obviously I'm hoping he's alright for the rest of the tour and for London in a couple of months but completely understand if they have to make cancellations/postponements. Just hoping it's nothing serious.
All that said, the show last night looked and sounded incredible. The new intro is fantastic. Super happy to have Red Flag Day back in the set and the other SOE songs sound better with each show. I'm sad to see Staring at the Sun get dropped but Summer of Love sounded excellent. I LOVE the new version of New Year's Day although nothing beats last year's Joshua Tree tour version as far as I'm concerned. All the other parts of the show still push exactly the right buttons.
Great show last night, and hope Bono's okay.

Could the U2 shop please make these available to buy for us? I'd buy that Berlin t-shirt and the postcards in a flash! You could offer both pretzel-loaded and pretzel-free versions too.

If someone can get this message to the band/team: the product "Ipolat", sold in Germany, is an herbal "miracle drug" for the voice, available at the nearest pharmacy.
Europe set list is better than US set list, thanks to the four song substitutions. I hope it gets back on track (even though I won't be making it to Europe for any shows).
We're so sorry for tonight's cancellation. Bono was in great form and great voice prior to the show and we were all looking forward to the second night in Berlin, but after a few songs, he suffered a complete loss of voice.
We don't know what has happened and we're taking medical advice.
As always, we appreciate our audience's understanding and all our fans' support in Berlin and those who travelled from afar. We will update you very soon.

Some footage from tonight. During The Blackout he sounded good, great even.
Red Flag Day. At 0:23 you can see the exact moment he realises something's wrong, up to that point it's fine but when he attempts that high note his voice just goes. Props to the crowd for singing so loudly to a song that's less than a year old.
Bono explains that he's lost his voice, so the band attempt Beautiful Day with a little help from the audience (seriously, if this is what all U2 audiences in Berlin are like I wanna go!). Afterwards he apologises to the crowd and explains they need to take a break so figure out what's up (and then 40 minutes later it's announced the show gets cancelled.

Also, it's funny how the European legs of IE and EI both mirror each other not just in terms of the show, but that it's during these legs that shows ended up getting cancelled/postponed. ? There was that show in Stockholm on IE that got postponed because of a security breach, and obviously we all know about Paris.

Sure the last time he lost his voice was at the point in 1989/90

Yeah, Amsterdam '89 I think. But with that one they just cut the set short and skipped straight to 40, I don't think they've ever had to axe a gig this early in the show before.

Wow. Couldn't listen live tonight as I was seeing a U2 tribute band (much fun!), but I was looking forward to catching up when I got home. I did not expect to find this! :/
I *really* hope it was just irritation from the smoke and he'll be fine in a few days...
Thoughts are with the band. As always, thank you for sharing your love with all of us.

Wow, that was hard to watch. Bono looked scared during Red Flag Day. I hope this is minor and temporary. My heart goes out to Bono, the band, and the entire arena full of fans.

It must be a truly horrible feeling to be standing there and realize that your voice is going. Things like this happen occasionally but I really feel for Bono right now. He must think that he let people down.
On the plus side those audience members are in for a very special night when the band return to make things right. I'm certain that U2 will give that show their all.

So, how does she do it? Along with careful planning she shops from the value and reduced ranges at Sainsbury's and grows her own herbs to make the most of her £10, which is what she has left after paying bills and rent!
I take my hat off to her and due to the the success of her blog she has recently been on the BBC explaining how she does it, signed a deal with penguin publishers and hired as a trainee reporter at the Southend Echo! After realising how much I spend on food in recent weeks I have tried even more to keep to a budget but I have a very sweet tooth which always leaves a whole in my pocket!
Below is one of her most talked about receipes- Carrot, Cumin & Kidney Bean Burger which costs just 9p! I have not tried it myself but heard the burgers taste amazing!
1. Drain and rinse the kidney beans in cold water to wash away the 'tinned' taste. Put in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for ten minutes to soften.
2. In a separate pan, add the finely chopped onion, grated carrot, cumin and coriander. Drizzle a little oil over and cook gently on a low heat to soften.
3. When the kidney beans have heated through and softened, drain and add to the carrots and onions. Mash together with a masher or a fork until you have a smooth-ish purée (like a mashed potato consistency). Stir in a heaped teaspoon of flour.
4. Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. With floured hands, shape some of the mixture into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Place in the oil and flatten gently with a fork to make the burger shape. Cook for a few minutes on one side, before turning over gently. They need to be handled with care while cooking as they can be quite fragile!
5. When cooked on both sides, serve hot.

Dayton upsets Ohio State
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Dayton is re-configuring the college basketball map in Ohio.
Dayton upsets Ohio State BUFFALO, N.Y. – Dayton is re-configuring the college basketball map in Ohio. Check out this story on baxterbulletin.com: http://www.baxterbulletin.com/story/sports/2014/03/21/dayton-upsets-ohio-state/6680853/

Dayton's Vee Sanford (43) shoots over Ohio State's Aaron Craft (4) during the second half of an NCAA Tournament game in Buffalo, N.Y. Dayton won the game 60-59. (Photo: Nick LoVerde/The Associated Press )
It no longer runs through Columbus after Vee Sanford's layup with 3.8 seconds left secured 11th-seeded Dayton's 60-59 victory over sixth-seeded Ohio State in the second round of the of the NCAA tournament on Thursday.
"I guess they called us the little brother, or whatever," Flyers guard Jordan Sibert said. "We can't be called that anymore."
Sibert has seen it from both sides after transferring to Dayton following two seasons at Ohio State.
"To be able to go out there and play with this group of guys, to be able to come up with this win, it's unbelievable," Sibert said.
Leave it to another transfer, Sanford, to secure the victory in a back-and-forth game that featured 15 lead changes between two schools separated by some 75 miles.
After Ohio State's Aaron Craft hit a reverse layup with 15.5 seconds remaining, the Flyers set up a play during a timeout with 10.8 seconds left.
Dayton inbounded the ball and worked it to Sanford on the right wing. Driving the lane without hesitation, he got a step on Craft and laid in a shot from about 4 feet away.
"No, I wasn't nervous," said Sanford, who transferred to Dayton from Georgetown. "We've drawn up a play like that, and I messed it up previously. But (coach Archie Miller) just kept his trust in me, and I'm just thankful that the shot went in."
Sanford finished with 10 points, while Dyshawn Pierre led Dayton with 12 points. For Miller, in his third year, the win came against his former mentor, Thad Matta.
The Flyers (24-10), of the Atlantic-10 Conference, who have won 11 of 13, advance to play Syracuse, the South Region's third seed on Saturday. The Orange routed Western Michigan 77-53 in their second-round game.
It's one and done for the Big Ten Conference Buckeyes (25-10), who were eliminated in the first game for only the third time in 26th tournament appearances. This season, Ohio State got off to a 15-0 start, and then stumbled down the stretch, splitting its final 20 games.
The loss marked the end for three seniors, including Craft, who were part of a team that had advanced past the third round in each of the previous three years.
Craft had a chance to pull out the win.
Driving the length of the court on the Buckeye's last possession, Craft bulled his way through three defenders only to have his 10-footer hit off the backboard and roll off the rim as the buzzer sounded.
Craft remained on his back in disappointment as the Flyers rushed to celebrate at their bench at the other end of the court.
"I just wanted to do everything I could to help our team win, and down the stretch I couldn't do that today," Craft said. "I can take the blame for that."
Sam Thompson led Ohio State with 18 points, and Craft scored 16.
Craft had no time for questions about whether Dayton can stake claim to being the state's better basketball school for one year at least.
"Sorry, I have zero thoughts on that right now," he said. "I'm upset at the way we played this game, and the way we didn't take the opportunity and make the most of it."
Craft was involved in a questionable play when he draped his arms around Sibert and was called for an intentional foul with 2:35 left. Sibert hit both free-throws to put Dayton up 55-52, but the Flyers couldn't score on the ensuing possession.
Craft made up for that at the other end, when he was fouled while hitting a 6-footer, and then completed the three-point play.
Miller was antsy right up to the final buzzer. Having spent two seasons at Ohio State, he was fully aware of Craft's ability to score clutch baskets.
"I thought it was going in," Miller said, referring to Craft's miss at the buzzer. "I've watched those guys win that game 1,000 times. He's a bulldozer with the ball. He got it down there in about three dribbles and got a good look. And it ended up rimming out. And we got lucky today."
The Flyers have shown a flare for dramatics this season.
Sanford's basket marked the third time the Flyers have won a game on a shot in the final 4 seconds.
Sibert hit a 3-pointer with 1 second left in an 81-80 win over IPFW on Nov. 9. Then there was Devin Oliver's buzzer-beater in an 83-80 overtime win at Ole Miss on Jan. 4.
"A lot of people were going to make a big case out of beating Thad, or beating Ohio State," Miller said. "We didn't get real complicated. It wasn't about Ohio State or where they're from, or blah, blah, blah. It was about us."

Destinations International and PCMA enter joint venture for Destination Showcase
Destinations International and PCMA announced today a joint venture for Destination Showcase, an annual event connecting business events organizers with CVBs (convention and visitors bureaus) to drive successful meetings and events.
Destination Showcase has been an important program by Destinations International and is North America's only one-day event that connects meeting planners with CVBs so they can better understand how CVBs are the key to making meetings and events successful. This new joint venture with PCMA will further enhance Destination Showcase's impact to meeting planners and destination organizations.
"This joint venture with PCMA will truly elevate the value of Destination Showcase for the planner community and our destination organization members," said Don Welsh, President and CEO of Destinations International. "We are thrilled about this new element of collaboration with our long-time partner as it will further Destinations International's work in communicating the extensive services that our members provide to meeting planners throughout their event planning process."
"This partnership fulfills a vision of bringing together the education PCMA is known for delivering with the important commerce opportunities Destinations International provides," said Sherrif Karamat, PCMA President and CEO. "We have had a history of collaboration, so this is a natural evolution of our relationship. Plus, Washington, D.C., where Destinations International is based and Destination Showcase is held, is a global headquarters for many associations and corporations and is the ideal platform for business events organizers and suppliers to engage."
"As partners in the meeting planning process, CVBs connect the destination's unique attributes to elevate the event experience, source local thought leaders, and help evaluate a meeting's economic impact and success," said William Pate, Destinations International Board Chair and President and CEO of Atlanta CVB.
"This joint venture is a great opportunity for PCMA to continue bringing its industry-leading education program to a broader audience to showcase the power business events have on global economic and social transformation. It also provides us with an opportunity to work with two outstanding entities — Destinations International and Destination Showcase," said Greg O'Dell, PCMA Chairman.
Destination Showcase 2020 will have exciting new elements; However, a major redesign for broader audience engagement and innovation in the marketplace will not take place until 2021.

What is HMG human menopausal gonadotropin?
HMG is a drug which assists the females to conceive. The absorption of this drug is by self means. Furthermore, human menopausal gonadotropin is an artificial peptide formulated to cure impotency in women's. It also helps them in conception.
HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) synthetic peptide is a self-injection fertility medication that helps women conceive. Essentially, it triggers the production of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) in a woman's body which helps her ovulate in the long-run.
HMG contains 75 IU (International Units) and 75 IU of FSH hormones, with a small amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Being a fertility peptide that it is, HMG enhances FSH and LH to stimulate the ovaries which develop many follicles and mature eggs. In case your pituitary does not release FSH and LH properly, HMG can be induced to encourage the production of eggs.
Extensive research has shown that this drug can be utilized by men who have the capability to increase the production of natural testosterone. Men with health issues such as testicular dystrophy improve their libido and become more virile during HMG treatment. The loss of testosterone in men is important in sexual dysfunction and also hinders men by taking vital energy away, decreasing muscle mass and deteriorating their youthful looks.
HMG stimulates the production of sexual hormones. In women, it triggers the ovary which results in increased secretion of LH and FSH hormones.
By assisted reproduction care, HMG is usually taken through injection. It is highly concentrated in LH and FSH, therefore, after one injection, one is bound to get high ovarian stimulation.
Women have different conditions, hence, HMG is taken variedly. The main goal is to solve the issue of infertility, and at times, in a few circumstances, it may react differently and cause abnormalities.
For men, HMG can be a substitute for HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) treatment. LH and FSH hormones act as testes enhancing testosterone level through pituitary glands. HMG also assists the body in the recovery process after anabolic steroid therapy.
Administration of HMG may bring up side effects even though the chances are slim. Patients taking HMG may experience discomfort in the breast or breast tenderness, allergic reactions such as lethargy, Jaundice, breathing complications in men, fever, chills, joint pain, and muscle ache.
Increased female egg odd production by inducing sexual development hormones and helps prevent infertility from occurring.
Bodybuilders utilize HMG for its high female LH and FSH hormone production which is essential for men's weight gain.
HMG restores LH hormone levels for counterparts undergoing anabolic steroid therapy because it reduces LH.
HMG regulates normal growth, sexual development, and reproductive purposes; which are influenced by LH, and FSH secreted by pituitary glands.
However, the biggest win is that HMG has fewer chances of causing allergic reactions due to the two female LH and FSH hormones. Bodybuilders buy HMG injection online from shopeptides.com due to its great value in weight gain. Patients using in-vitro fertilization may also use HMG and get excellent end-results.
HMG dosage varies from one person to another depending on the use. Using HMG should be as per the doctor's prescription. One should not continue using it if allergic reactions persist.
HMG administration can run up to three weeks depending on the doctor's prescription. Administration dosage begins with 150 IU and can be maintained or reduced after three weeks depending on the follicle diameter. For males, dosage depends on serum testosterone levels. Before purchasing any HMG for sale, seek advice from the physician.

I still can't believe that winter is almost here, can you? As I type this I am already under-the-weather. When you're sick, feeling cared for is so wonderful and really helps make you to feel better, which is why I love putting together little care gifts. If you have a friend or family member that is feeling a little sick, too – you're going to want to grab a pen and a piece of paper, because I'm sharing my favorite DIY Lavender and Eucalyptus Bath Soak recipe + my care package must-haves!
Grab your two bowls, add 1 1/2 cups Epsom salt to each bowl. You're going to prepare each "scent" on it's own, and then mix them later!
In one bowl, add 5-8 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil, 2 tbs coconut oil, and 4-5 drops of green food coloring, mix well.
In your second bowl, add 5-8 drops of Lavender essential oil, 2 tbs coconut oil, and 4-5 drops of purple food coloring, mix well.
Grab your glass jar and begin to layer the eucalyptus, lavender, and plain epsom salt until you hit the top of the jar.
This bath soak is so incredibly relaxing, and the vapors of that eucalyptus and lavender combo is so soothing. A cup of this mixture under the warm running water of the bath will be just the ticket to get you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated in no time.
What are YOUR must-haves when you're feeling under the weather?

Cisco warns, issues bleak forecast
Cisco Systems announced a profit warning for its third quarter as sales of networking equipment to businesses and telecommunications carriers continue to slump.
By Wylie Wong | April 17, 2001 -- 10:30 GMT (03:30 PDT) | Topic: Cisco
Cisco expects third-quarter earnings per share to be in the low single-digit range and for revenue to fall 30 percent from the second quarter.
"The business environment that our segment of the IT industry is facing has never been more challenging," Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers said in a statement. "In fact, this may be the fastest any industry our size has ever decelerated."
Cisco expects fourth-quarter revenue will range from flat to down 10 percent sequentially.
"Everyone expected a miss; everyone expected a charge," said Paul Sagawa, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.
Wall Street analysts previously predicted earnings of 8 cents per share and revenue of $5.95 billion, according to a poll of analysts by First Call.
In regular trading Monday, Cisco's shares closed at $17.20. In after-hours trading, the stock slipped to about $15.30.
Cisco executives said the company expects to take a restructuring charge of $800 million to $1.2 billion as part of a company-wide reorganization that includes previously announced layoffs of about 8,500 employees and the restructuring of certain businesses. The company will take an additional $2.5 billion charge based on excess inventory.
"In an effort to meet our customer expectations, we continued to increase our inventory and capacities to keep up with rising demand. This (additional $2.5 billion) charge reflects the recent significant and unexpected drop in customer demand," Cisco Chief Financial Officer Larry Carter said in a statement.
The layoff of 8,500 employees, or about 18 percent, includes about 2,500 temporary and contract workers, and is expected to save about $1 billion yearly. To further cut costs, the company will consolidate facilities to save $300 million to $500 million.
The magnitude of the warning may turn a few heads, Sagawa said. He roughly equated the charge to something along the lines of 60 cents a share, a huge amount for a single quarter.
Other analysts point out that the general negative mood might not stir up much reaction on the Street. "I think (Cisco's executives) have taken a pessimistic view for the past few weeks, which caused Wall Street to take the same view," said Richard Shannon, an associate analyst at Epoch Partners.
Cisco executives said the economic slowdown that has hit the United States has spread globally. Sales in Asia and Europe were weak in the third quarter, Chambers said.
Long-term, however, Cisco executives still believe the company will reach 30 to 50 percent revenue growth in the future when the economy turns around. Cisco plans to report its final third-quarter results May 8.
"The 30 to 50 percent growth rate is something that might be called into question," said Steve Kamman, an analyst at CIBC World Markets.
"It's the price of success," Kamman said. "Everything Cisco has done to become such a fantastically great company has led to the problems they face now."
Kamman notes that some parts of Cisco's businesses might grow that fast, but that the company as a whole has become too large to sustain the astronomical growth it once displayed, especially since a depressed stock price has dampened its acquisition prowess.
"You've got to give them their due for what they've achieved, but the market is relentlessly forward-looking," said Kamman.
Cisco's third quarter will be the second straight quarter the company will miss earnings estimates. Cisco in February missed second-quarter earnings expectations by one penny because of sluggish sales of networking equipment to telecommunications service providers. The company also saw sales to businesses slacken, particularly in manufacturing.
In a conference call with analysts in February, Chambers warned that sequential revenue growth for the next two quarters will be flat. He also predicted that Cisco's revenue for the current fiscal year would grow 40 percent over last year. But that prediction was based on the assumption that the U.S. economy would recover in the second half of this calendar year and that the economic slowdown wouldn't spread internationally.
In mid-March, Chambers warned sales were not picking up, and the company was seeing early signs of a sales slowdown internationally.
Like others in the technology sector, networking companies have been hit hard in recent months by the economic slowdown. Nortel Networks, Lucent Technologies, 3Com, Sycamore Networks, Extreme Networks, and others have all announced earnings warnings.

3D Printable Files for all your gaming needs. This time we're getting Airborne at Fickle Fiend Studio!
23 backers pledged CA$ 1,951 to help bring this project to life.
Whether you need more models for your games or just like to print and paint scale aircraft, the possibilities are endless. These aircraft are modeled at 1:144 scale which suits quite a few popular games on the market today.
Having the STL files will allow you to scale them up or down to suit your needs. *Note: scaling down too low may cause certain areas to become unprintable ie: wings, struts and propellers.
Retail pricing will be higher so here's your chance to get them at reduced cost!
Without focusing too much on any particular era of Aviation history, Fickle Fiend Studio has created STL files that bridge the gap from the earliest days of flight to the most modern and advanced aircraft.
We are continuing to make more Aircraft for this project and anything added will be Free for all pledge levels $25 or higher. Let's see what we can get done in the next 30 days! You can let us know in the comments which era to focus on but we do have some ideas already.
This is the ALL in Pledge for Aircraft. You get every airplane model shown plus the Hindenburg in 1:144 and 1:700 scale.
Some pictures to show the 1:144 scale. It's HUGE! But a 1:700 scale model is included so it'll actually fit on your machine. Of course you can scale to any size as well.
Everything in the 'Extras' category is free to backers. This is where new models will be revealed as the campaign proceeds. All Aircraft models will be FREE to anyone in a $25 or more pledge category and all Car models will be free to those who are All-In or add any car package.
WWI, WWII and Hindenburg Pledges will receive the Prop Pack. This is to make it easier for you to print propellers for any of the aircraft should you need them. 2, 3 and 4 blade props included.
First model added in Update #1, F-21 Kfir.
Free for all pledges of $25 or greater!
Update #5 has details for the latest FREE model!
Update #6 adds another fighter taking us to a total count of 22 aircraft (so far).
Our previous Kickstarter was for cars models in Z-Scale (1:220) and was successful, but a lot of the planned packages remained locked. They will be made available as Add-Ons to this campaign at a reduced price. Please see the Previous Campaign for pictures of printed models.
Pick and choose to your liking and get a killer discount!
There are also several new automobile models that were not part of the previous campaign and have not yet been listed on the Fickle Fiend website. Previous Backers who want just those cars can grab them here as well.
In the following Add-Ons, the New Cars are outlined in yellow.
Models are for personal use only and may NOT be used for commercial purposes..BUT..feel free to print models for friends and give them away or recoup costs of materials, but no direct sale fro profit.
Car models are created at ~Z scale (1:220) but can be scaled up or down to suit your needs.
Airplane models are created at ~N scale (1:144) but can be scaled up or down to suit your needs.
You are receiving STL files which can be used to 3D print; there is no physical reward.
Models will show best detail when printed on a Resin printer.
*** Following the campaign, models and/or packages will be made available through the FickleFiendStudio website.
Fickle Fiend Studio is on Shapeways! Currently we have several of our car models available with more to come. The Aircraft will also be made available on the Shapeways store at some point following the campaign.
Late last year Fickle Fiend Studio launched a successful Z-Scale (1:220) Car STL File Pack campaign. The intent was to deliver high detail car models that could be printed at home or by any 3rd party outfit for personal use. These models are perfect game piece replacements for such games as Championship Formula Racing, Thunder Alley, Rallyman and any number of other Car racing games.
We delivered all campaign pledges within 1 month of finances closing.
This campaign is focused on airplanes and flying vehicles from all eras for the same purpose; personalized and custom models for games such as "Tripods & Triplanes", "Wing Leader", "Knights of the Air", "Air Force" and "Wings of Glory" or any other air combat or flight game or scenery project imaginable. They are modeled at 1:144 scale but they can be resized to suite ANY game as desired.
Following the campaign there will be a link to register an account on the Fickle Fiend Studio website where all of the relevant files will be made available to download. You can wait until then or register an account now and be ahead of the game.
The Sooner you Register the Sooner you Get your Files!
Thanks for attending and looking around.
There is no reward at this level.
Pick any aircraft and receive the STL model for it.
Choose from WWI, WWII, Post-War and Modern.
**Hindenburg is exclusive to the Hindenburg and All-In Pledge levels.
Plus the Hindenburg in 1:144 scale and 1:700 scale.
**See Special Notes in the Hindenburg Section on scale.

How beautiful did that last dish of Alice's look?? The colors and flavors of the rhubarb and the semifreddo seemed like the perfect combination.
I haven't cooked much with rhubarb, but I have been holding on to a jar of strawberry-rhubarb jam that my friend Rachel gave me. And what better time to break it out than right now, to generously dollop on freshly baked crusty popovers!
Popovers are muffin/pastry-type things with a large crusty exterior and a hollow eggy interior. They are delicious right out of the oven, smeared with butter, jam, Nutella or even eaten with a slice of cheese. At our house, I was always asked to make them for breakfast, but they are also a wonderful accompaniment to a nice pot roast or roast beef dinner.
It's an easy recipe and the secret is using a proper popover pan. NordicWare has a great non-stick pan and Chicago Metallic has a less expensive pan that is equally as good. If you use the proper pan, your popovers should pop every single time.
If you don't have a popover pan and still want to try this recipe, please do! You can use a muffin tin and spray the cups with a cooking spray before adding the batter. You can also butter or spray some custard dishes rather than using a muffin tin. After they have finished baking, just run a table knife around the edges of the pan or custard dishes before removing the popovers.
Add the flour all at once, mixing until incorporated and smooth. Then mix in the melted butter all at once.
Preheat the oven to 450° F/230° C. While the oven is pre-heating, fill each of the cups in the popover pan about two-thirds full.
Set the timer for 20 minutes after which, without opening the oven door, turn the heat down to 350°F/175°C and set the timer for another 10 minutes. If you like a crustier, more well done popover, then let it go for another 5-10 minutes after that for a total of 35-40 minutes.
If you are going to eat them right away, just tip them right out of the pan. If you are going to wait to eat them, pierce each one with a sharp knife to let some of the steam out.
Then smear it with the good stuff.
Alice? Where are these crusty delights sending your imagination?
Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C.
Use a wire whisk to beat together the eggs, milk and salt. Whisk till the egg and milk are well combined. Add the flour all at once and beat with a wire whisk till frothy and smooth.
Add the melted butter, combining quickly.
Pour the batter into the popover pan cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
When oven is up to temperature, place pan into the middle rack of the oven.
Bake the popovers for 20 minutes without opening the oven door. Reduce the heat to 350°F/175°C (again without opening the door) and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until they're a deep, golden brown.
How perfect did Brenda's Brazilian version of crème caramel look?
One of our readers asked for ice cream recipes PLUS I am looking after a house with very healthy rhubarb plants PLUS I discovered Spanish Moscato, a rich raisiny fortified sherry. That is how this dish came together.
The thing with making ice cream, is having a good enough churn. But a semifreddo is unchurned, and in fact, this one is uncooked also. It is in the peasy realm of easy.
This is simply some rhubarb roasted in the oven, alongside a semifreddo, made with whipped cream and Mascarpone cheese, flavoured with some of the sherry. In fact, you could try other liqueurs if the Moscato sherry isn't sitting on your bench. Semifreddo has a slightly firmer texture to ice cream.
I was experimenting with the recipe as I went, so I haven't taken 'how to' photos this time. It is such a simple recipe, you'll be fine!
Whip the cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form, then fold through the Mascarpone and sherry.
Line a tray, that will fit in your freezer, with baking paper (I used a slice baking tray). Spread the cream mixture in to an even layer on the paper. Cover with cling film and leave to freeze, overnight if possible, but 6 hours would be fine if it is thin like mine.
500g (1 pound) rhubarb, leaves discarded.
Preheat the oven to 180/350.
Rinse the rhubarb, and cut in to identical length pieces. Place the rhubarb in to a baking tray, and sprinkle with the sugar and toss around a little to coat. Drizzle the water over and cover with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes, and then pull out of the oven and remove the foil. Carefully turn the pieces of rhubarb in the pan, so as not to break them. Spoon over the sugar and water which will have now started to dissolve. Put back in to the oven for another five minutes uncovered. It will be ready when it is tender to the prod of a knife, yet is still maintaining its shape.
Toast up some almond slivers in a dry pan over medium heat, being careful to move them around as they cook so they don't burn. The time will depend on your pan and how hot it gets, but around five minutes. Take them off the heat when they are lightly golden.
Place the rhubarb on the plates, with a little of the syrupy juice. Cut the semifreddo in to triangular pieces with a hot chef's knife, and place on the plate beside the rhubarb. Heat the knife by dunking it in a jug of hot water, and then quickly drying it with a tea towel.
Garnish with some of the freshly toasted almond slivers, and maybe a tiny sprig of mint.
There you go Kandis, an 'ice cream' recipe for you.
Over to you B… Don't suppose it is rhubarb season in Minnesota?!
We've worked our way through an entire meal with the addition of the delicious rabbit dish that Alice shared here, so now who is interested in dessert?
Let that sit for a few minutes while you make the caramel sauce. Letting it rest for a while will allow the bubbles in the custard mix to settle down a little before baking.
Put filled pan into a water bath – which is as simple as a baking sheet with about an inch of hot water in it.
Let it cool for about 30 minutes, then turn it out onto a deep dish serving plate. The sauce is very runny and sticky, so be sure it doesn't spill all over your counter by using a serving dish that is deep enough to catch it all.
Well, Alice, we've had our little bite of sweetness. What's next??
Whisk the eggs in a medium sized bowl until smooth, then add the sweetened condensed milk and mix together. Use the empty condensed milk can to measure two cans of milk into the mixture and combine well. Set aside.
In small frying pan, heat up sugar until it is all melted and amber in color. Pour into 9 inch round or tube baking dish, ensuring that the bottom is completely coated with the caramel.
Top with the liquid custard. Place the baking dish into large pan and add an inch of hot water to make a water bath, being careful not to let the water splash into the custard. Slide it carefully onto the middle rack of the oven and let it bake for one hour. When done, remove it from the oven and the water bath and let it cool for about 30 minutes. Run a knife carefully around the edge of the pan to loosen the custard before turning it out onto a deep serving plate.
Chill before serving. Spoon a bit of the sauce over each piece.
Why am I posting this in a food blog? Because in our family, food is love. And also, the last day I saw my Dad alive, we cooked together.
Dad was an amazing cook and there was nothing he enjoyed more than to cook for people that he loved. He, my brother Brian and I would spend hours together in the kitchen, trying new dishes and perfecting old favorites.
Some of my best memories of my Dad involve cooking great feasts for a house full of beloved friends and then sitting around the table, eating the delicious food and laughing until my sides hurt at Dad's hilarious stories.
stories about his misadventures on various shopping trips to the big city, stories about all these funny things that seemed to always happen to him.
He had the best sense of humor. He told jokes that made everyone laugh and never poked fun at people in a hurtful way. He could laugh at himself most of all. He was someone that everyone liked to be around, because he always made you feel good about yourself…while feeding you something delicious.
Many of the dishes on this blog have been things that we cooked together. Every post that I write, I mentally run past him. And quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said about this blog was when my Mom told me that Dad would have loved it and would have been so proud of me.
I had a very difficult time right around the holidays. We always cooked big family feasts at the holidays as well as our special dishes that we cooked on just regular days.
We were able to start working on this site right before Christmas and it has helped motivate me to express myself with my cooking that I love so much. It's been a living memorial to my Dad who inspires me each and every day.
Thank you, Alice for giving me this forum with which to share the love.
B's pasta recipe had my mouth watering. I love how adding sausage pieces to a pasta sauce is like adding meatballs, and I don't know why broad beans (fava beans) are not in pasta more often. It seems a logical combination. If the pasta is a first course, then how about a bit of rabbit to follow?
This recipe is from Marcella Hazan's book Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, which is a staple cook book for my husband and I. We made this rabbit dish a few years ago for friends, back when we didn't even have a dining table in our tiny apartment. It was a memorable meal. Especially when the cat was slipped a taste by one of the guests and he went absolutely wild.
When I saw some meaty looking rabbit legs at the market, and Jason was back for a visit from out home in Trinidad, so it was time to make it again. It is actually a simple dish, but the final flavours are anything but.
The recipe calls for a full rabbit in pieces, but you could use all legs instead like I did.
Rabbit, white wine, olive oil, celery, tomato paste, garlic, rosemary, beef bouillon, salt and pepper.
I bought farmed rabbit so I skipped the overnight soaking of the rabbit. I understand that is needed if you have a wild rabbit.
I started by adding the oil, garlic and diced celery to a pan, along with the rabbit. I chose a pan that would fit all of the pieces without overlapping. Over low heat, and with the lid on, I set this to cook for a couple of hours, turning the rabbit pieces occasionally. I think you could continue to cook until the meat is falling off the bone, so allow some more time if you can.
With the lid off I then cooked down the liquid that was in the pan from cooking the rabbit pieces.
When that liquid had reduced, in to the pan went the rosemary, wine, salt and pepper and turned the heat up to the point where the wine simmered. I mixed the bouillon cube with some tomato paste and water. When most of the wine had evaporated, I added the bouillon mixture. I kept the pan at a simmer, turning the pieces from time to time, until a thick sauce formed.
I served straight away on a platter, alongside some polenta with parmesan, a green salad and a good friend or two.
Buon appetito B. Do you mind if I picture you on a Vespa zipping around to get the ingredients for your next post?
You will find that at the end of two hours, the rabbit has shed a considerable amount of liquid. Uncover the pan, turn the heat up to medium, and cook until all the liquid has simmered away, turning the rabbit from time to time. Add the wine, rosemary, salt and pepper. Allow the wine to simmer briskly until it has evaporated, then pour the dissolved bouillon cube and tomato paste mixture over the meat. Cook at a steady, gentle simmer for another 15 minutes or more, until the juices in the pan have formed a dense little sauce, turning the rabbit pieces over from time to time. Transfer the entire contents of the pan to a warm platter and serve promptly.
I love the detour into Italy, Alice! I've always wanted to visit Italy, so I will do so virtually with this pasta dish.
I found these fava beans at the farmers market. They are also known as broad beans.
I have never cooked with fava beans before, but I've always liked them in restaurant dishes and then I saw the most wonderful looking pasta recipe on a local Minnesota food blog RelishingIt.com. So this was just my excuse to finally try cooking with them.
So first, the fava beans need to be shelled. They grow in pods, like most beans and peas.
Then they need to be blanched – which just means that they should be dropped into a pot of boiling water for about three minutes, scooped out and then dropped into ice water.
The pale green outer skin peels right off, revealing a bright green bean.
Set them aside and begin the pasta sauce.
And let it all cook down.
As the sauce was cooking, I brought a large pan of water to a boil, added some fresh fettuccini and let it boil for a few minutes. Check the package for specific cooking times, keeping in mind that fresh pasta cooks more quickly than dried pasta.
Tossed and topped with some fresh grated parmesan.
I got the large shreds of cheese by using a vegetable peeler on the chunk of parmesan. Using a nice Parmigiano-Reggiano will add so much flavor to your dish, so don't skimp on the quality of the cheese.
Alice, I like the way your mind thinks and can't wait to see where we're going next.
Bring a pan of water to a boil. Once it is boiling, add the shelled fava beans. Boil for two to three minutes. Remove the beans from the heat, drain and place them into a bowl of ice water. Let cool in the water for a couple of minutes. Then, remove the light green peel from the beans using your hands. The fava beans will be bright green in color. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Meanwhile, begin making the sauce. Heat a large skillet and add the Italian sausage links to it. When they are browned, remove and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pan with a splash of oil and continue to cook for a few minutes over medium-high heat until the onions start to become somewhat tender. Slice the sausage links and return the slices to the pan with the onions. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and spices. Cook for a few minutes until the flavors have combined a bit and the sauce has thickened. Add the fava beans and cook a few more minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings.
I can imagine sitting at a bar being very happy with a plate of B's roasted potatoes in front of me.
My choice of dish was influenced by a dinner my step-mother cooked the other night. Betsy cooked this Brussels sprouts recipe from the book Italian Local by Tobie Puttock. They are more of a side dish than a tapas dish, but I have to say, I would be thrilled to eat them with a drink at a bar. We actually doubled the recipe and ate them as an entrée (appetizer in American speak), for four people. Light and flavoursome.
One of the best things about this blog for me is being able to share food as I discover it, try recipes recommended by friends, try things I would never normally attempt, and also have a recipe file for myself for later use. This is one of those recipes. I plan to make this every Brussels season.
Baby Brussels sprouts, onion, garlic, pancetta, thyme, butter and salt and pepper. I also used a little olive oil.
I began by chopping off the bases of my gorgeous little farmer's market Brussels. They were so small and fresh they hardly needed any outer leaves discarded, but in general you will need to chop off the end of the stem and remove the outer leaves. I then put them in to a bowl of cold water to soak.
I cut up the pancetta in to a dice, and put it in to a heavy bottomed fry pan over medium heat. I added a little olive oil to the pan, as I wanted some flavoured oil to be left in the pan after cooking the pancetta, and there did not seem to be much coming from the meat itself.
While the pancetta was cooking I chopped up the onion to a dice, and the garlic in to slices.
When the pancetta was crispy, I scooped it out of the pan on to paper towel, leaving about a tablespoon of fat in the pan.
I then cooked the onion in the pan with the remaining fat. I sautéed until golden, they picked up colour as they deglazed the pan. I added in the garlic at the same time as the onion, but in future I would add it later on, I think it was overcooked. When the onion and garlic mix was cooked, I put it in a bowl. I kept the pan on the stove for a future step, and put in the butter to let it melt slowly off the heat in the pan.
I brought a pot of water to the boil, and scooped the Brussels out of the cold water and into the boiling water. I cooked them for four or so minutes. I wanted them to still be a little firm.
From the boiling water they went straight in to the fry pan with melted butter, where they cooked for a few minutes over medium heat, then I added the onion mix and thyme, and cooked for another minute over low heat. Then half the pancetta went in, and I mixed it through. I seasoned with pepper and salt to taste.
When I served them up I used the remaining crispy pancetta as a garnish. I have to admit, I was concerned I would eat it before I would get to take the pictures it was that good! It is best served straight away.
B, I have taken a side step, although I still believe this would fit well in to our Spanish night out, this is an Italian dish… where to from here?
Place Brussels sprouts in cold water to soak.
In a fry pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crispy, add a teaspoon or so of olive oil if there is little fat coming out of the meat. When cooked scoop from the pan, leaving the flavoured oil and fat, and set aside on paper towel.
In the fat in the pan, cook the onions, for around 6 minutes, and then add in the garlic and continue to cook for another few minutes, until the onion is golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add the butter to the pan off the heat, to melt slowly in the residual heat.
Bring a pot of water to boil, and using a slotted spoon scoop the soaking Brussels and put them in the boiling water. Cook for 4 minutes or until tender, but still crisp. Transfer the Brussels to the pan with butter using a slotted spoon again, and sauté over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and add in the onion mixture, and the thyme, then sauté for one more minute before mixing through half of the pancetta.
Serve immediately using the remaining pancetta as garnish.

Винтовката е ръчно стрелково оръжие с винтови нарези в канала на цевта, предназначено за поразяване на противника в близък бой с куршуми, щик или приклад. Наличието на нарези отличава винтовката от пушката. Обикновено винтовката има дължина на цевта примерно 70 калибъра.

Винтовките с намалена дължина е прието да се наричат карабини.

С карабини са въоръжавани кавалерийските подразделения, артилерията и техническите родове войски.

История
Основната причина за появяването на винтовките е необходимостта от увеличаване точността на попаденията. Предшественикът на винтовката, гладкоцевният мускет, се отличавал с ниска точност на стрелбата, понеже при изстрел куршумът се движел свободно в цевта и получавал неконтролируемо въртене. По опитен път било изяснено, че пушки с нарези в канала на цевта позволяват да се стреля точно на разстояния по-големи от 100 м.

Някои винтовки, използвани още през Първата световна война, имали обхват от около 800 метра.

След Освобождението на България, новосформираната българска войска е въоръжена изцяло с оръжие, подарено от руската армия. След 1880 г. пушките система "Крънка" (60 000 броя) започват да се подменят с по-съвършената пушка и карабина "Бердана № 2" (44 000 броя). След 1889 г., за няколко години българската армия се превъоръжава с модерните магазинни винтовки и карабини "Манлихер".

В настоящо време в българската, както и в повечето армии по света се използват автомати. Като изключение се използват някои снайперски винтовки и оръжието на почетните караули.

Тип винтовки
 щурмова пушка (автомат)
 самозарядна винтовка
 ловна винтовка
 снайперска винтовка
 пневматична винтовка

Northwestern moves to No. 14 in College Football Playoff Rankings
Posted on December 1, 2015 by Ryan Fish Leave a comment
11. TCU 12. Baylor 13. Mississippi 14. Northwestern 15. Michigan
— CFBPlayoff (@CFBPlayoff) December 2, 2015
The College Football Playoff Committee released the penultimate rankings of the 2015 season Tuesday evening, and Northwestern rose to No. 14 following its win over Illinois in the regular season finale. The Wildcats sat at No. 16 in the College Football Playoff Poll last week, and are ranked at No. 13 in both the Amway Coaches Poll and AP Poll this week.
Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa are ranked as the Top Four for the second consecutive week, with only conference championship games and minimal other action yet to take place this upcoming Saturday. The winner of the Big Ten Championship Game between Michigan State and Iowa would almost certainly secure one of the Top Four spots and a playoff bid, essentially making the contest a play-in game.
Northwestern ranked behind teams with similar resumes, such as Florida State (No. 9) and Notre Dame (No. 8), putting them in a difficult position with no games remaining and chasing a spot in a New Year's Six bowl. That being said, odds for a bowl on New Year's Day against an SEC team remain high for Northwestern.
Here are the full rankings from the committee:

A Must for Autry, Hayes, Maynard and Bob Nolan (dubbing for Ken Maynard) Fams
Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette made an auspicious debut in the Ken Maynard vehicle, "In Old Santa Fe" (1934). Although their footage is limited to a couple of musical numbers, they still make quite an impression. Furthermore, the movie is almost in the "A" class. Filled with great action, plus humor, plus excellent acting (particularly from Ken Maynard, Gabby Hayes, Evalyn Knapp, H.B. Warner, Kenneth Thomson and Wheeler Oakman), stylish direction by David Howard, a fast-paced script, class-"A" songs and superb production values, "In Old Santa Fe" is a must-have DVD, especially for fans of Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Gabby Hayes (in full flight here), Ken Maynard (who comes across with far more personality than usual), and even Bob Nolan (who dubs Maynard's comic song, "That's What I Like About My Dog").

The film that helped destroy Ken Maynard's career.
In the history of B-westerns, no other cowboy star had a worse reputation among those who worked with him. Although Maynard was a top star, he reportedly treated the crew of his films like dirt and frequently argued with his bosses about money. According to IMDb, he was so disagreeable that 'to never have met Maynard was reportedly a blessing'!! But the studio was stuck--he was a top star. However, in the film "In Old Santa Fe", the studio accidentally found an answer to their problems--in the form of Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette. Both were only in the film a few minutes to provide some musical numbers but they did such a nice job--and the executives decided to feature Autry instead of Maynard in an upcoming film. From here on, Maynard's career was in a tailspin--working for smaller and smaller studios for less and less pay until he was pushed out of pictures just a decade or so later. So, "In Old Santa Fe" marks the beginning of the end for Maynard. And, to make things worse, years later some bozos pasted Autry's name at the beginning of the film--even though he's barely in this movie!
The sad truth is that "In Old Santa Fe" is a terrific film--one of the best of its kind. If Maynard had only been a nicer person, he could have remained a first tier star--and he is wonderful in this movie. It's far better than his later films and showed that he could appear to be a heck of a guy.
The movie begins with Kentucky (Maynard) and Cactus (Gabby Hayes) heading to the Miller (H.B. Warner) ranch. On the way, Miller's daughter is driving pretty recklessly but it gives her a nice chance to meet handsome Maynard. Maynard is smitten and Cactus is wonderfully grouchy both here and throughout the film! However, in the meantime, a nasty piece of work, Chandler (Kenneth Thomson) shows up and begins trying to blackmail Miller and vows to force Miller to give him his beautiful daughter! Naturally, Kentucky is in the way and Chandler and his evil sidekick vow to destroy Kentucky. But, being a cowboy hero, you just know that he'll somehow save himself, sweet Lila Miller and her father!
This is a terrific film--probably better than any Roy Rogers or Gene Autry film I've seen (and I've seen a lot). The plot is surprisingly good, the acting very good (I loved Gabby in this one), the musical numbers by Autry and Burnette were excellent and the film SHOULD have been just one more nice film in Maynard's long career! Too bad but I guess this is indeed a case of what goes around, comes around. A must-see for fans of the genre as well as Autry fans.

funny lines and astounding horse riding
Man snubbing Kentucky who was trying to sell him western gear. "I don't wish to look like a fool." "My mistake, my mistake, but I don't think the clothes would make any difference."
I wonder how many horses were lamed filming that. Just horrible. Nobody in his or her right mind would put a horse through the race. But that was some fantastic riding. The plot shows what a trip wire could do to a horse and yet they surely used trip wires for the falls. I got an extra appreciation for the danger of the runaway stage stunt when I learned of a re-creation trail ride a few years ago where the team of a wagon was spooked and one of the horses died after getting entangled backwards in the harness.
Odd that someone named Kentucky didn't even try for a KY accent. :) I went to a Ken Maynard film festival in Columbus, IN, put on by a family member. I'd never heard of him before that. We saw some of his silent movies. It's interesting that a boy from Vevay, IN, could perform in carnivals and circuses then go west and become a trick rider with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, a circus rider with Ringling Brothers, and have a career in Hollywood. He also managed to squeeze in a stint with the army in WWI, apparently escaping being crippled or traumatized.
It was an exciting time for an adventurous soul. Cole Porter from Peru, IN, born only four years earlier than Ken, went the opposite direction and took NYC by storm. (He, however, wasn't as lucky with his horse, poor guy.)
The mingling of the sophistication of the cities with the still fairly primitive conditions of the West and Great Plains made for excellent contrasts in early westerns. It gave the audience the feeling that they could go there and have amazing things happen to them, too. It was part fantasy and part advertisement.

Good but perhaps it has too much music
Warning: Spoilers
The reissue print I saw lists Gene Autry as the star, but the truth is he's only in one scene singing a song at a party. The real star of the film is Ken Maynard, one of the first singing cowboys in one of his last appearances in "musical" western. The Plot has to do with Ken helping out the owner of a dude ranch that is wanted by a gangster. First the gangster fixes a horse race and then he resorts to murder and robbery, framing Maynard in the hope of getting him out of the way. Good action packed film is slowed down by too many songs. The songs aren't bad but it takes up too much room with the result being that the first 40 minutes is rather leisurely while the final 15 or 20 minutes is a race to the wire. I wish things had been more spread out, especially since the film kind of slows to a crawl after the horse race. Still its worth a look, preferably as part of a double feature evening.

Gene Autry, a true star is born
A screen test for Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette which they passed with flying colors. I just wish we could've had more of their songs in this film. Ken Maynard.is actually quite good in this one. If he would've been that good behind the scenes, he would've had a longer career. George 'Gabby' Hayes was a tour de force as Maynard's sidekick. Evalyn Knapp played it beautifully as the gold miner's daughter and the most sought after girlfriend. Joseph Kane codirected another masterful western.
classicsoncall19 July 2012
"Why you are an old bone-headed, saw-horned son of a ornery low-life, knock kneed, white livered sheep-herder!"
And that's just for starters! There's no doubting only Gabby Hayes could deliver a line like that and he was doing it here when he was still being billed as George Hayes. Still the same old Gabby though, looking like an old codger even though he was still far from his prime as the ultimate Western sidekick.
What threw me for a loop was an opening screen intro that stated 'Nat Levine Presents Gene Autry' for this picture when it actually starred Ken Maynard. Gene does make an appearance past the midway point, and I can now say I saw him in his very first picture. Not only that, but he brought Smiley Burnette along for HIS very first picture too, so this film merits entry in the Western movie trivia Hall of Fame.
I can't say I've seen Ken Maynard sing in one of his films before, but that's the way the picture starts out with him crooning something along the lines of 'As Long As I Got My Dog'. As far as the story goes, it's a pretty standard one in which the hero outwits the bad guys and wins the pretty female lead (Evalyn Knapp as Lila Miller) by the time the sun goes down. Kentucky Ken and partner Cactus (Hayes) uncover a scheme in which villain Chandler/Korber (Kenneth Thompson) attempts to blackmail pretty Lila's father (H.B. Warner) over his own criminal past.
With all that's going on here, I can't help thinking that Maynard, the nominal star wound up playing second fiddle to the characters around him. Autry only appears on screen for a few brief moments, and his voice sounds a little twangy singing 'In Old Wyoming', while Smiley is a hoot introducing his froggy voice with 'My Momma Don't Allow'. You also have to credit Maynard's palomino Tarzan for a major role in the story, what with all the tricky maneuvering around obstacles, over jumps and rugged terrain in that horse race through the canyon. If the story had anything to do with Old Santa Fe you could have fooled me, but then again, it WAS one of the songs done by Gene Autry.

Quiet and rich
In Old Santa Fe has come down to us as the debut film for both Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette both off the Old Barn Dance radio show. But aside from Gene's singing and Ken Maynard's dubbed singing it's not a bad modern day western with a bit of comedy and mystery thrown into the film as a bargain.
A pair of villains Kenneth Thomson and Wheeler Oakman arrive at H.B. Warner's dude ranch. Years ago Warner was a crook, but he left the big city and lives quiet and rich due to his dude ranch's popularity and the fact he's got a goldmine on the premises.
Which attract Thomson and Oakman. Thomson also has a Snidely Whiplash like interest in Warner's daughter Evelyn Knapp. But of course she can only see cowboy hero Ken Maynard.
Big mistake Thomson and Oakman make was setting up a race horse where they trick Maynard's sidekick Gabby Hayes into putting up Maynard's horse Tarzan to cover a bet. You just don't do that to a cowboy hero especially since the race is rigged for them to win.
Maynard nails these two with some modern type forensic investigation and all's well that ends well as the Bard put it. This was the kind of plot that you would see a lot of in the Forties in Roy Rogers' westerns.
Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette make their debuts in a country dance at the dude ranch. Autry was grateful to Maynard for his big break and helped him out a lot when he was old, broke, and alcoholic. Maynard became his personal charity.
In Old Santa Fe holds up quite well for today's viewers.

OK for a Grade B
Gangster Chandler and his accomplice Tracy arrive at a dude ranch.
Cowboy Kentucky arrives at the same time.
When Tracy double-crosses his boss and has the stage robbed, Kentucky finds the outlaws and brings them in.
Tracy frames him for the murder of the driver but his pal Cactus gets him out of jail.
He returns just as Chandler shoots Tracy and Kentucky finds himself arrested for another murder.
I suppose if you are a fan of this genre you will like the movie.
I'm not such a fan.
