![]() Rendered in a calming blue hue, the dial is treated with a textural, hand-guilloched sunray-finish emanating from the centre. The no-nonsense design of the case allows the spectacular dial of the watch to truly stand out. At a sizable 45 x 15.1 mm, the watch is more showpiece than dress piece. On the left flank of the case is the minute repeater slide, while on the right, there is the winding crown at 3 o’clock decorated with the Maltese cross, and a pusher at 4 o’clock to adjust the sky chart. The overall design of the case is simple with a polished finish for elegance. It is fairly large at 45 mm in diameter and 15.1 mm in height, though, this should come to no surprise given the monstrous complexity of the movement within. The case of the Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Sky Chart – A Celestial Note is rendered in 18K 5N pink gold. Without further ado, we bring you the low-down and our thoughts on none other than the Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Sky Chart – A Celestial Note. ![]() We’re talking about a minute repeater, tourbillon, and a sky chart – all in one watch. Out of the dozen or so pieces that were presented, one stood out as the most poetic and breathtaking to us. As you may have guessed, these watches have all to do with chiming complications. Late last year, Vacheron Constantin unveiled a host of Les Cabinotiers pieces under the theme of ‘La Musique du Temps’ (French for ‘The Music of Time’). Such is the manufacturer’s devotion to the tradition of bespoke and one-of-a-kind watches, as a service to clients. 57260, the most complicated watch ever made, and the Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication, one of the most complicated wristwatches ever made.

Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Sky Chart – A Celestial Note ![]() After everything passed, and I could now calmly read that note, I noticed something. I then picked up a note from a table, and just as I was reading it, the "quest completed" message popped up, all while Dalgliesh was talking. ![]() So, it all started when Dalgliesh joined my party, I entered Paladin Tavish's house, and I beat the first boss battle of the game, a cultist with a whopping 60 health. The story of what happened to me, as I played this game. In fact, I think that the true reason why everytime you save the game it saves on a different slot, is so that whenever it crashes, you can load the backup you prefer to recover the lost progress. I seriously recommend this game to anyone that has never played a first person RPG before.īut, the bugs were a serious (and hilarious) issue. dear god, I love the songs that play during battles. Wringneck's bad puns and Dalgliesh's reactions were hilarious. The world building is amazing, the dungeon crawling with traps and puzzles is great, the battle system is fun, and the characters feel alive thanks to the incredible voice acting and random chatter your party does while you are walking around. Bugs that made my experience a lot worse than it should have. And today, I finally completed it after 46 hours. Everything was "fixed crashes", "fixed bugs", "optimized a lot of things to reduce gpu usage and loading times". It took a whole month to get all 3 out, but the patch notes looked promising. ![]() When I saw this, I decided to wait until then to start playing. But then, the developers released a statement, saying that they would fix all of these issues in 3 patches. Everyone complained about crashes and bugs, and bombarded the game with so many negative reviews on Steam, it hasn't even recovered yet.

I am sure many ladies out there would be envious of their Soprano friends who seem to be able to hit the high notes with such ease!Ī typical Soprano vocal range would probably be from the A note below middle C (A3) to the F or G note 2 octaves above (F6 or G6), making it a range of 2 plus to 3 octaves. Of course, this is not to be taken as an exact measurement but more as a rough guideline for soprano voices, and proper breath support must be used when measuring vocal ranges during singing. The Soprano Tessitura is also usually higher than the other female voice types, considering that the overall vocal range is the highest among the female voices.Ī Soprano would also probably transition out of her chest voice around the E flat note above middle C (E4) and shift into her head voice around the F sharp note one octave above the middle C (F5). The soprano voice usually has a bright tone, and she would usually have a strong head voice, but a relatively weaker middle voice. ![]() Sopranos are also able to sing more high notes and sustain at a high pitch better than a mezzo soprano can, and they are also most often the lead role for operas or shows.įor most ladies out there, you would probably belong to this voice type as the Mezzo Soprano voice is the most common female voice type out of the 3 main types, and it lies between the higher Soprano voice and the lower Contralto voice. ![]() The vocal range for the Mezzo Soprano voice would be likely between the G note below middle C (G3) to the C note more than 2 octaves above (C6), making it also a range of around slightly more than 2 octaves. The Mezzo Soprano Tessitura or most comfortable vocal range lies somewhere between the Soprano Tessitura and the Contralto Tessitura. The Mezzo would probably transition out of chest voice around the E note just above middle C (E4) and shift into head voice around the E note one octave above the middle C octave (E5). ![]() Be sure to avoid the common singing problem of head raising when you are measuring your register transitions. The Mezzo Soprano has a stronger middle voice and a weaker head voice as compared to the Soprano. Also, the tone of the Mezzo Soprano’s voice is darker or deeper than the Soprano’s. The Contralto voice is the lowest among the female voices, and it is certainly more unique among females, as the typical female voices would probably either be the Soprano or Mezzo Soprano voices.Īlso, a common misconception would be to use the term ‘Alto’ instead of ‘Contralto’ to refer to female voices with this low range of notes. We should use the term ‘Contralto’ to refer to this low female voice type, as ‘Alto’ more commonly refers to the range or notes to be sung and is not exactly a voice type. The term ‘Alto’ is commonly used in choral singing to refer to the vocal parts to be sung by singers doing the Alto section. The vocal range for the Contralto voice would lie somewhere between the E note below middle C (E3) to the 2nd G note above middle C (G5). This would mean that the Contralto voice would be very close to the male tenor voice, having a similar range in vocals, and would thus be able to handle most of the songs that men may sing too! ![]() He initially performed stand-up comedy: "I'd dabbled and then there was a six-month period where I did it with a certain commitment.

There’s not too much that’s subtle, and I think that’s what I enjoy the most.”Īfter five years at re/Asian, Wetshtein jumped at the opportunity to return to the Midwest to head up the kitchen at what is now Of Rice and Men, where he delivers on those bold flavors. “Depending on what part of Asia you go to, whether it’s China or Japan or Indonesia or Thailand, you know you’re going to get big, big flavors. ![]() “What I love about Asian cuisine is the boldness,” he says. He says his passion for Asian cuisine comes from working with Wolfgang Puck at The Source in Washington, D.C., and later as executive sous chef at Chef Puck’s re/Asian Cuisine in Bahrain. An Ohio native, Wetshtein cut his teeth at some of the Midwest’s finest establishments, from Michelin star restaurant NAHA in Chicago to Mercat a la Planxa, where he first worked with Goral. The first order of business was tapping Josh Wetshtein as the restaurant’s executive chef. Goral says he and the team worked hard to achieve that goal and put their energy into getting the concept up and running quickly. “Once we were able to reopen, we decided to work on achieving that goal.” “It was our vision to do a high-end, modern, Asian restaurant in the space before COVID and the shutdowns,” he says. ![]() That, in part, was the impetus for Of Rice and Men, according to Blue LLama Executive Chef and General Manager Louis Goral, who says the objective when the Blue LLama hospitality group bought French-Indian fusion restaurant Dessous last September, was to introduce a new Asian concept to Ann Arbor’s culinary landscape. Following a period when restaurants have either shuttered (some temporarily, others for good) or morphed into entirely new, unrecognizable versions of their former selves, new restaurants diversify the restaurant scene.

Of Rice and Men, a pop-up turned full-service restaurant by the owners of Ann Arbor’s Blue LLama Jazz Club, is one of a string of new restaurants that have opened during the pandemic. But a few newly opened restaurants offer hope in uncertain times.
