Godly New England White Clam Chowder at Mastro’s Ocean Club Fish House

Filed under: Reviews — Tyler @ 12:17 am

Godly New England White Clam Chowder at Mastro’s Ocean Club Fish House. Mastro’s Ocean Club in Newport Beach has great chowder. And the bread is phenomenal.  Here’s how to get there:

8112 Pacific Coast Hwy (Crystal Heights Drive)
Newport Beach, CA 92647

Ever want some clam chowder and wish that the chowder was Manhattan (red) style, because you just don’t trust New England chowder? Well, after walking into Mastro’s with my dad I had that same predicament. But I asked my dad, “Is this chowder really good?” He said that it was good, so I decided to trust him and try the chowder. Since it was Saturday night at about 8:15PM Mastro’s was packed full of people dressed to impress other people in their middle aged – youthful senior respectable meat market bracket. I was standing around, I had a Coca-Cola in hand I was invited to sit down at a table with two ladies. I was really happy because the wait to sit down was forever and people had swarmed the bar. I thought that I might be able to sneak in a seat at the bar but there was no chance. So when the ladies invited me to sit down I thought that it was very nice of them.

So I ordered my New England Style (white) Clam Chowder and a bread basket. My server was very nice and attractive. She had sexy eyes and smiled sincerely when talking to me, so I asked for a refill on my coke. I started talking to the ladies after introducing myself. One of them was in real estate and the blond said that she was the, “ladder girl” who brought down the wine from the tall wine pantry. She was just joking. Then after a few minutes of talking, my chowder showed up with the bread basket.

I took my first taste of the soup by dipping a long cheese sprinkled piece of bread. I took a bite and was blown away by how perfect the soup was. It had the perfect amount of saltiness, heaviness, milkiness and chunkiness to make a great soup. You see, New England Clam Chowder can be runny at times or too salty or taste like it is a bacteria bowl with the dairy that’s in it. But at Mastro’s, the soup was off the charts. It had the measured and relaxed consistency between a soup and a light stew, and that’s exactly what White Clam Chowder is supposed to have. It was served at a hot yet instantly edible temperature and so I didn’t burn myself at all. And my server checked on me very quickly to see if I liked the Chowder and I felt very pleased to tell her that it was great.

Great New England Style White Clam chowder. Best I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. And the bread was great too! There was this pretzel bread that was shaped like a roll but it tasted and looked like a salted pretzel. It was soft and warm and was sooo good. Really was fun to change up the chowder with the bread. And the coke that they served wasn’t from a fountain either. They used personal sized plastic bottled cokes. And it tasted like a fresh coke, over ice. Perfect evening treat of a meal.

Heroes of Newerth Character Guide for the Arachna Hero

Arachna HoN Guide

Arachna HoN Guide

Heroes of Newerth Character Guide for the Arachna Hero. Click here to check out a basic guide for Arachna written by Shadowcamsy. That guide talks about Arachna’s basic skills and some good tips on what you should do in the game. But I want to talk about more serious detailed strategies and tactics for  Arachna. First up, let’s talk about what to do in the beginning of the match. When you start out by your pool, let’s say you are playing a 5v5 match for the most popular map. You will have about 600 bucks or so to start with, so if nobody is buying a courier then you should buy a courier for yourself. If  you have to buy one yourself buy the courier monkey, a pretender’s crown and 1x runes of blight. If you don’t have to buy a courier then buy a pretender’s crown 2 pairs of those +3 to agility slippers and then some runes of blight (the things that let you eat trees to regen health). The reason why I go for the agility slippers instead of the strength gloves is because I want to make a Soulscream Ring instead of a strength bracer. This is because this guide is going to show you how to use Arachna as an offensive character that doesn’t want to get hit much. I used to get the Soulscream Ring in when I first started playing Arachna, then I switched to the Strength Bracer because I thought I wanted more health but then I switched back to the agility slippers for the Soulscream Ring. The reason why I like the Soulscream Ring is because the recipe is cheaper and the extra damage helps you last hit and deny creeps. If you don’t know what last hitting is, it’s when you attack a friendly or enemy creep when it is 1 hit away from being dead by pressing “A” on the keyboard to get the target reticule, then you “Left Click” on the target creep and you kill it. If the creep is an enemy you will see a gold number show up. That number is how much gold you acquired for killing the creep. If you last hit an friendly creep, you get a message that says, “Denied.” That message means that enemy heroes in the area will receive less Experience Points (EXP) for the death of that creep. This is important especially if you are playing against a ranged hero because generally ranged heroes receive even less EXP due to creep denies than melee heroes. This is key because as Arachna, you will probably be taking the middle or “mid” path in the map by yourself (solo) and will have to face another ranged hero. This is because ranged heroes usually are picked to go solo mid. (more…)

Current Research Endeavors

Filed under: Overidon News — Tyler @ 1:32 am

I’m researching into the Venus Project to find out what they are talking about. Right now I’m reading, “- THE ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT – OBSERVATIONS AND RESPONSES Activist Orientation Guide.” I’m about 1/4 the way through it. Pretty interesting reading. A great deal of it so far has been elaboration on what was mentioned in their Zeitgeist Addendum movie, which you can see if by watching the bottom movie HERE.

I’m trying to learn more about the Technological Singularity so I can articulate that information for everybody. I have this notion that the New World Order, the Zeitgeist Movement including the Venus Project, the rise of unemployment in the United States and the Technological Singularity are all linked and we are heading toward a future where we will need to choose how we want to live collectively. There will be a continuum of how much intervention and outside control will be put on our lives, but technology will provide so many opportunities that we will have to accept limitations to freedoms and agendas as they come.

I’ll keep you posted.

Human Beings and the Technology Singularity

Filed under: Innovation — Tyler @ 11:58 pm

Human Beings and the Technology Singularity. Technology has come a long way. Some people think that in the future there will be a technological singularity. At this time human beings will basically merge with technology. It is imagined that there will be nano-technology this nanotechnology will make it so advances in medicine and computer will be possible. Some people say that the year of this technology singularity is 2029. That’s about 19 years away from today. I’ll be 49 years old. But people make predictions all the time. Weren’t we supposed to have high power laser beams and flying cars by now? What about space travel? It’s 2010, and we’re still trying to get humans on Mars. What makes 2029 special? Well, Raymond Kurzweil says that computer technology is different from advances in fields like physics.  Kurzweil says that there will be exponential growth in the field of computers, especially in processing power. I guess there is something different from an advance in physics as opposed to an advance in computers. What is interesting is that by the year 2029 if things keep progressing toward the Technological Singularity, there may be a convergence with what people are talking about with the Zeitgeist and Venus Project movements. Ever want to store your mind in a computer when you go to bed? Stick around till 2029. Ever want to move objects with your mind? Watch the video below and see how monkeys do it. Check out the video below for more information about the Technological Singularity and about a new version of humanity.
