We now know the name of one of the new restaurants coming to Wheelhouse (the building formerly known as Traffic Zone) near 3rd and Washington
Tono Pizzeria + Cheesesteaks
a rapidly-expanding Twin Cities-based group of fast-casual restaurants
will move into the space formerly occupied by Jeromeo sometime this summer
Tono’s menu offers more than a dozen options for pizza (all 12″) and more than eight styles of cheesesteak sandwiches
“We went with who we thought would be good fits for the neighborhood,” said Wheelhouse owner Patrick Crowe
“bringing in some more food options that are easier to get for lunch where you can go in and grab or maybe sit down but not feel like you have to reserve a table or do a big event where you just kind of grab lunch and go.”
One of the co-founders of Tono, Antonio Gambino, is from a family that will be familiar to people who have lived or worked amid the downtown skyway system. His Sicilian father founded Andrea Pizza
home of the “biggest slice in town.” Antonio’s mother was from Philadelphia
hence the interest in both pizza and cheesesteaks
Tono’s other co-founder is Gambino’s friend
The North Loop location will be the company’s 11th since 2019
In November, Crowe bought the historic building at 250 Third Avenue North (built in 1886) and is planning a large-scale renovation. The company is working on signing a second restaurant tenant for the space formerly occupied by Bev’s Wine Bar.

This article is part of the Research TopicThe diagnoses of glaucoma in the era of artificial intelligenceView all 6 articles
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the new Tono-Vera rebound tonometer (Reichert Inc
NY) compared to Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
cross-sectional study was designed in accordance with ANSI Z80.10-2014 and ISO 8612-2009 guidelines for tonometer comparison
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) was measured by Goldmann Applanation and Tono-Vera on 160 eyes of 160 subjects
Corneal Astigmatism and Central Corneal Thickness were also measured
A single investigator (CN) conducted all measurements
The average of two measurements from each tonometer was used in the analysis
and simple linear regression were used to evaluate agreement between the tonometers
Results: Average IOP values from Goldmann Applanation and Tono-Vera were not significantly different (19.17 and 19.03 respectively
The total least squares regression analysis indicated strong agreement between the two tonometers (slope +0.97
There were 2 IOP measurement pairs that exceeded the ± 5 mmHg limits of agreement required in ANSI Z80.10-2014 and ISO 8612-2009
which is within the range of acceptability specified in the standards
Conclusion: We evaluated IOP measurements by Tono-Vera Rebound Tonometer vs Goldmann Applanation Tonometry for eyes with a wide range of IOP values and found no statistically significant differences in the results
Tono-Vera meets the requirements of ANSI Z80.10-2014 and ISO 8612-2009
demonstrating accuracy comparable to Goldmann tonometry
similarly to existing rebound tonometer technology on the market
plastic contact tip (Ocu-Dot Tonometer Probe
The probe is propelled forward by a solenoid-induced magnetic field
The motion of the probe generates a voltage in the solenoid
which is recorded throughout the measurement process
IOP is derived from analyzing the velocity profile of the probe during the measurement
its forward motion is stopped and ultimately reversed
The deceleration of the probe as it contacts the cornea and comes to a rest
An internal calibration converts the voltage into an IOP value (displayed in mmHg on the instrument screen)
In order to reduce operator bias and the resultant measurement variability it causes
3-dimensional positioning system referred to as “ActiView”
This system uses on-screen cues to guide the operator to the optimal position over the corneal apex at the correct distance
Once the alignment criteria are met the instrument measures automatically
In “3+” measurement mode a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 successive measurements (based on the repeatability of the obtained values) are used to calculate the final IOP result
6 successive measurements are always made to calculate the final IOP result
6-Measurement mode was used on all subjects for this study
This study was commissioned in preparation for an FDA 510k application for the Tono-Vera Tonometer and was prospectively registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05345262)
Approval for this study was obtained from Sterling Institutional Review Board
and evaluated according to the study protocol
Subjects were recruited from the study-site clinical population or referred to the Principle Investigator (PI) for the study by other local clinicians
Subjects meeting the inclusion criteria who provided written informed consent participated in the study
Measurements were conducted between April 2022 and September 2022
A single investigator (CN) conducted all of the Goldmann and Tono-Vera IOP measurements
The study followed FDA Regulations relating to good clinical practice and clinical trials and protection of human volunteers (45 CFR Part 46
the ethical principles contained within the Declaration of Helsinki
and ISO 14155:2020 (Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects -Good clinical practice)
The study was conducted to be in accordance with FDA Guidance for Tonometers (March 27
ANSI Z80.10-2014 (American National Standard for Ophthalmics –Tonometers) and ISO 8612-2009 (International Organization for Standardization
Ophthalmic instruments — Tonometers)
ANSI Z80.10-2014 & ISO 8612-2009 requirements for paired testing of reference to test Tonometers
Participant inclusion criteria required that subjects must be between the ages of 18 and 90 years old
must able and willing to provide signed informed consent
and must be able to follow study instructions
Exclusion Criteria specified by the ANSI Z80 standard were: Subjects with only one functional eye
subjects with one eye having poor or eccentric fixation
subjects with central corneal thickness greater than 600 µm or less than 500 µm
subjects with corneal scarring or who have had corneal surgery (including laser refractive surgery)
subjects with concomitant ocular diseases (including: microphthalmos
any other corneal or conjunctival pathology or infection likely to confound the ability to obtain accurate IOP measurements)
subjects with known allergy to proparacaine or fluorescein were excluded
or presence of ocular hypertension were not exclusion criteria
Trial participants were recruited from the study site (a private practice in Buffalo
Subjects were also able to be referred from other practices
The Principal Investigator (PI) or a designee identified potential subjects for the study from patient records and daily patient clinic visits
Subjects determined to be potentially eligible and who expressed interest in participating were consented and enrolled in the study
The protocol required that only one eye per patient be used in the analysis
All subject measurements were made during a single visit to the study site
The following procedures were performed in the order listed:
Corneal Curvature by Auto-Refractor/Keratometer (Opto-Chek Auto Refractor Keratometer
Buffalo NY) (to determine amount of corneal astigmatism)
Slit lamp biomicroscopy (to ensure no exclusion criteria were present)
Defines which IOP category the eye belongs to)
Central Corneal Thickness by ultrasound pachymetry (iPac Pachymeter
NY) (to ensure selected subjects were between 500-600 microns per the requirements of ANSI Z80.10 and ISO 8621)
Switzerland) was used for the study and underwent calibration verification before the study and weekly during the study
In order to ensure the widest possible range of IOP values
the eye to be included in the study was selected based on the following criteria:
If only one eye qualifies as a high astigmatic (>3 Diopters of corneal astigmatism)
If the GAT pressures are unequal and ≥23 mmHg in the two eyes
If the GAT pressures are unequal and between >16 and <23 mmHg in the two eyes
If the GAT pressures are unequal and ≤16 mmHg in the two eyes
If the GAT pressures are in different IOP subranges in the two eyes
select the eye with the pressure in the subrange with fewer enrolled eyes
If the pressures in the two eyes are identical
randomly select an eye based on a coin toss or other valid binary randomization method
The Tono-Vera (Test tonometer) was used in Automatic 6-measurement mode
the on-screen alignment system of the tonometer guides the user to the optimal XYZ position over the apex of the cornea and automatically measures six times in rapid succession once the alignment criteria are met
Measurements were made on the selected eye no more than 3 minutes after the GAT measurement was completed
Two Tono-Vera measurements were obtained and averaged for the Tono-Vera IOP value
Pachymetry was measured last by iPac ultrasound pachymeter (Reichert
Subjects with CCT under 500 or over 600 microns were excluded
Data was analyzed per ANSI Z80.10-2014 section B9.3
a) A scatter plot of the test tonometer measurements (x-axis) versus the reference tonometer measurements (y-axis
scaled identically to x-axis) with the total least squares fitting line (orthogonal) and the y=x diagonal line drawn on the plot
b) Results of the total least squares regression analysis of the data
estimated slope and intercept (offset of the regression)
the number of pairs in each IOP range and the number and percentage of pairs in each range that exceed the limit
c) A method of differences plot (Bland-Altman) showing the paired differences versus the mean of the measured values of the pair for each of the IOP ranges given in Table 1 with lines drawn on the plot indicating 5 mmHg greater than and 5 mmHg less than the zero difference axis
a simple linear regression was used to calculate the correlation between GAT and Tono-Vera (r2)
a paired t-test was used to compare Tono-Vera and GAT
A two-sample t-test was used to compare the differences between the Tono-Vera and GAT devices for eyes with low and high corneal astigmatism
Results of Tono-Vera and GAT matched measurement pairs by IOP category
and y-intercept of +0.33 and a standard deviation of 2.11)
Total Least Squares Regression of Tono-Vera vs GAT for all 160 eyes
Total Least Squares Regression of Tono-Vera vs GAT for 137 low corneal astigmatism eyes
Total Least Squares Regression of Tono-Vera vs GAT for high corneal astigmatism eyes
Bland-Altman Comparison of Tono-Vera to GAT for all 160 eyes
Bland-Altman Comparison of Tono-Vera to GAT for 137 low corneal astigmatism eyes
Bland-Altman Comparison of Tono-Vera to GAT for high corneal astigmatism eyes
Despite substantial efforts to recruit 10 patients with >23 IOP and >3D astigmatism eyes, only two such subjects were identified. Subjects who meet these criteria, and who do not meet any of the exclusion criteria, are extremely rare (23, 24)
our analysis has shown that there is no difference in either tonometer’s performance between the low and high astigmatism eyes in this study
The agreement between GAT and Tono-Vera in eyes with >3D astigmatism compared to eyes with <3D astigmatism was not statistically different when comparing the means of the measurement pair differences between Tono-Vera and GAT (p=0.335) using a 2-sample t-test
we are confident that the results obtained from the available data are sufficient to demonstrate good agreement between GAT and Tono-Vera in eyes with greater than 3D astigmatism
GAT vs CCT and Tono-Vera vs CCT are plotted together in Figure 7
Neither Tono-Vera nor GAT were strongly correlated with CCT in this data set (r2 = 0.028 and 0.022 respectively)
as would be expected due to the limited range of corneal thickness values required by the ANSI Z80.10 and ISO 8612 standards
Scatter Plot of GAT & Tono-Vera vs CCT for all 160 eyes
Goldmann Tonometry has been in use for over 6 decades and is found in most eye care practices globally
most practices employ multiple tonometry modalities for a wide variety of valid reasons
GAT requires a skilled operator and instillation of topical anesthetic drops
GAT takes more time to execute than other tonometry methods and can be difficult to perform on a significant portion of patients
This fact is of increasing relevance in the modern era due to the growing utilization of nurse and technician staff to perform various tests
Staff turnover in the current environment is high
making frequent training of new personnel an ongoing challenge
IOP values taken by staff must be reliable as it may not be possible for the physician to verify (double-check) the accuracy of recorded measurements in many modern practices
This makes it especially concerning that clinically relevant errors in measurements made by GAT due to operator skill are possible
there are many countries where only ophthalmologists are permitted to use GAT
and so it becomes essential to have reliable alternatives that can be used by staff (with little skill and no interpretation required) and trusted by doctors
In our data set 32% of Tono-Vera Measurements were within 1 mmHg of GAT
the Tono-Vera automated alignment and measurement technology played a role in its agreement with GAT measurements
The PI found Tono-Vera easy and fast to use and would be comfortable delegating IOP measurements with this device to staff
Patient acceptance of the Tono-Vera measurement was high with most patients stating that they preferred the Tono-Vera over GAT when questioned
The handheld nature of the Tono-Vera device is permits measurements to be made with patients sitting upright
which may reduce transient IOP elevations related to patient posture when in position for GAT measurement
The Tono-Vera measurement probes are single-use
eliminating the need for disinfection procedures
Patents also expressed appreciation of the single-use probes
which may have been top-of-mind considering this trial was conducted during the COVID-19 Pandemic
We evaluated the agreement of Tono-Vera and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry in eyes with a less than 2-standard deviation range of corneal thickness values
This was necessary in order to comply with the ANSI Z80.10-2014 standard but does not cover the expected range of corneal thickness values in a typical clinical population
and eyes with ocular pathology (other than Glaucoma) were not evaluated in our study
this was necessary to comply with the requirements of ANSI Z80.10-2014 but is not reflective of all eyes in a normal clinical population
Further studies on Tono-Vera vs GAT in normal eyes that have a wider range of corneal thickness values and in eyes with various pathologies or prior surgeries are necessary
We did not directly assess intra or inter operator repeatability of Tono-Vera in our study
in this study of IOP measurements in a population of patients with a wide range of intraocular pressures
Tono-Vera showed excellent agreement with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry and demonstrated compliance with the requirements of ANSI Z80.10-2014 and ISO 8612-2009
These findings indicate that Tono-Vera can be used to obtain objective and reliable IOP measurements in clinical practice

the founder of Barcelona-based twin companies Lastor Media and Vilaüt Films
is a champion of new talent. He has played a key part in the careers of a new generation of Catalan filmmakers including Carlos Marqués-Marcet from his debut 10,000km to the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival Platform winner They Will Be Dust
co-producing her 2022 Berlinale Golden Bear winner Alcarràs
Folguera is the recipient of this year’s Screen International Catalan Producer of the Year Award, which will be presented at the opening night of the BCN Film Fest in Barcelona today (April 24)
which Folguera runs with business partner Ariadna Dot
Vilaüt Films focuses on more mainstream projects while Lastor Media nurtures new talent and international co-productions
Among the companies’ festival successes are Clara Roquet’s 2021 Cannes Critics’ Week entry Libertad, Elena Martín’s 2023 Directors’ Fortnight Europa Cinemas Best European Film Prize winner Creatura, and Mounia Akl’s debut Costa Brava
Lebanon which screened at the Venice Film Festival’s Horizons Extra in 2021
Folguera also backed Mikel Gurrea’s first feature Cork
which premiered in competition at San Sebastian in 2022
The producer began his career in documentary filmmaking and is now shepherding through post-production Forastera directed by first-timer Lucía Aleñar
the companies’ first TV drama series 33 Days directed by Anaïs Pareto for Atresplayer
and the documentary Jaleos directed by Isaki Lacuesta.
The BCN Film Fest (April 24- May 2) includes world premieres of Cuatro Paredes by Ibon Cormenzana and Les Irresponsables by Laura Mañà which closes the festival
The festival is to give an honorary award to Ralph Fiennes and will screen The Return
with just four employees [across the two companies]
We have been able to work with small budgets
But times are changing and making films with lower budgets in Spain is now more complicated
There is a lot of work and finding crews is more challenging
The average budget for an indie feature in the country is now up to €1.8m
The films we make now are around €2m but we also tackle more mainstream bigger budget films like we did for Marcel Barrena’s Mediterraneo (2021) or recently with Balandrau
Is this the impact of the streamer boom on indie productions
Streamers certainly mean crews are busier and salaries are increasing
But it’s our job to find a way and we certainly welcome that the industry is getting stronger
One way of coping with that is finding new talent
You work regularly with the international co-producers
What do you believe you bring as the Spanish partner
The biggest asset of Lastor Media and Vilaüt Films is our portfolio
Our filmography proves how reliable we are with the financing sources we access in Catalonia and in Spain
We offer the same things we look for in our partners
clarity and stability in financing and access to public or private funding
Four year’s ago funding became available in Spain through both the Catalan and Spanish film bodies for minority co-productions and that has made things easier
It’s much more attractive for international partners to know they can count on us for their projects too
Switzerland’s Alina Film boarded They Will Be Dust and now we are minority co-producers on Alina’s Les Indes
a road movie set in the 17th century about a painting being moved from Madrid to Versailles
Catalan cinema is enjoying a strong international presence
We have had a well-established industry in Catalonia for years
with a strong presence on the international circuit
The financial muscle was initially a bit precarious; budgets were small and we had to rely mostly on talent as the driving force
there was a substantial change in the public support for the industry led by the Catalan government
combined with a wider support from the Spanish government
has allowed us to be more ambitious from a producing point of view

Co-founder Shaz Khan explained how the restaurants keep popping up in new locations across the metro
including three more opening in the next five months
When Shaz Khan was first preparing to ditch his electrical engineering career to start a restaurant with his friend
“What the heck is a cheesesteak?” Khan had asked co-founder Antonio Gambino
whose Philadelphian-Italian family had already made Andrea Pizza’s “biggest slices in town” a hot commodity in downtown Minneapolis skyways
Armed with a knack for cooking and a host of family recipes
Gambino wanted to bring the world-renowned Philly cheesesteaks to Minnesota
And Khan has since become an expert on both the sandwich and the pie
in 2016 and a series of Tono Pizzeria and Cheesesteaks since 2019
Originally intended as two restaurants in the same space — Frank from Philly for cheesesteaks and Andrea for pizza — Frank and Andrea merged when Khan made them a shared website
a move to enhance the mobile and online-ordering experience
The first Tono location in Maplewood grew out of a planned second Frank and Andrea location
The new restaurant was meant to elevate the cheesesteak-pizza fusion to a dine-in experience
Khan and Gambino actually own Tono as partners of a local capital investment group
Tono has expanded at almost a yearly cadence
The seventh location of this pizza-and-cheesesteak-slinging restaurant opened in southwest Minneapolis in September
He plans to launch the Inver Grove Heights location before Thanksgiving
Apple Valley before the end of the year and Elk River in early 2025
In an interview edited for clarity and length
We make sure that everybody from our customers to our staff understands the history
We make sure to tell the story of Antonio’s family
We embed ourselves in our communities — not for the sake of business but for the sake of integration — because we want to be part of those neighborhoods
It’s very much about building an experience that is authentic to not just our brand but also that particular location
We’re fortunate to be a favorite of people now
So there isn’t too much on the advertising side before we open
But if you have a strong team that supports you
And I think that is the backbone of our Tono operations
you want to do because there’s so much insight to draw from people who have those experiences
Really understanding who you are as a person and what your motivations are
someone who is obsessed is going to do it better
then how are your customers ever going to become obsessed
I want people to reach out to me because whether they’re new or aspiring business owners or other people in the restaurant community
I look forward to having those conversations
Connecting with members of my community is paramount for me
I don’t need to do things just because they’re solely of benefit to me
we do things because we don’t know what the outcome might be and because it’s the right thing to do
Connecting with people who want or seek to connect
Not everything is about business and not everything is about utility
it’s just about connecting with other people for the sake of connecting

The “Sukisuki” trailer sees all of the Tono-voiced heroines repeatedly declaring their love for the protagonist
The “Omoomo” also has them expressing their love
but in a heavier and scarier manner.

Danjohi 1:5 no Sekai demo Futsuu ni Ikirareru to Omotta
(full title: Danjohi 1:5 no Sekai demo Futsuu ni Ikirareru to Omotta
~Gekijuu Kanjou na Kanojotachi ga Mujigaku Danshi ni Honrousaretara~) is an isekai romantic comedy where the protagonist Masato ends up in a world that’s largely similar to his own but with a slightly higher female population
While this world doesn’t seem to be too different
Masato is unaware of the effects of his kindness — a product of his original world’s environment — on the girls around him
and how some intense feelings are being directed at him
The light novels have illustrations by jimmy
The former is published under the Dengeki Bunko label and debuted in February 2024

This large-scale project takes advantage of local wood and soil to blend in with the surrounding mountain range. The building design includes a “food manufacturing plant, a store, a café, and an experience space,” according to the architects’ website
a glass curtain wall adorned with cedar drum pillars stretching up to seven metres in length allows natural light to flood the space
softly curved structure created using advanced hand-chiselling techniques
designed to meet Japan’s primary energy consumption standards
harmonises beautifully with the surrounding mountains
Every intricate detail in the design of Oyaki Farm tells a tale of craftsmanship and tradition
Cedar columns and purlins rest upon sturdy cypress beams
forming a roof punctuated with a 3m overhang of the eaves
This design not only showcases the timeless elegance of Japanese fan rafters
a technique passed down through generations
but also serves as a testament to the ingenuity of the human spirit
alongside the high side windows that invite natural ventilation
and even the gentle cascade of rainwater from the roof
they play an integral role in reducing the building’s CO2 emissions
The word “Oyaki” encapsulates the project’s deep respect for Japanese heritage
Oyaki finds its roots in the Shinshu region of Japan
The name serves a dual purpose – as a fitting moniker for a café and a respectful nod to tradition
It aspires to be a testament to the harmonious connection between human innovation and the earth itself by using locally sourced timber and surplus soil from construction sites
using these materials constitutes the structure’s harmony with nature – over the next thousands of years
the structure will “return to the earth” due to the natural
circular main hall is surrounded by a colonnade of timber columns and enclosed by a wood frame and glass curtain wall
The wood used is almost 100% solid cedar and cypress from Neba-mura
“Architecture is a physical entity but ultimately
it’s something that works on the human spirit,” said Tono Mirai
“I believe in three ecologies that all play large roles in the longevity of architecture – spirit
The project site was once a “pit dwelling” settlement in the Yayoi period roughly 2,000 years ago
Excavating the site revealed many red artifacts
the memories of which are reflected in the building’s 5.2m-high entrance hall and the foundation that rises along a natural slope
Mirai said that these elements connect the site’s former settlement with its future
the second aspect involves utilising indigenous timber
local craftsmen and traditional carpentry methods rooted in age-old knowledge to preserve both materials and skills while fostering community interconnectedness
one issue in modern Japanese wooden architecture lies in the abandonment of traditional carpentry methods in favour of hardware and pre-cutting machinery
neglecting the invaluable knowledge passed down through generations
joinery and finishing without reliance on hardware
is at risk of fading away without proper training and preservation
this project seeks to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary design
reimagining the essence of Japanese architecture for the modern era
the gracefully curved roof and gently sloping terrain create a seamless integration with the natural surroundings of the site
is illuminated by a skylight that symbolically bridges the gap between heaven and earth
connects the building to the conifer forest
preserving the region’s original landscape
eco-friendly features such as modern water purification technology
well water usage and heat recycling from the factory for café heating and cooling showcase a commitment to sustainability
With ample natural light from high windows and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout
the building harmoniously blends with the mountainous backdrop
The arc-shaped design of the north entrance ensures a welcoming and unobtrusive passageway for visitors
Mirai said that the most challenging aspect of this project was creating the different shapes and dimensions for the columns and connecting beams
Each rises at a different angle and is shaped differently than the last
Vectorworks was used to create the detailed fabrication drawings needed for this project
These drawings were then given to contractors
“For a designer like me who thinks of architecture not in terms of systems and numbers, but in terms of images and sketches, then draws them and finally translates them into numbers, using Vectorworks to create organic architecture is a very enjoyable process,” Mirai said
“All the designers [at Tono Mirai Architects] are very happy to work with Vectorworks. Vectorworks is also very good at producing beautiful drawings with a high level of graphic expressiveness.”

Guillem Export and Frutas Tono, two family-run companies from Valencia which agreed to merge in July 2023
have unveiled their new combined corporate identity
the companies said the merger would bring the two entities plus Tono subsidiaries Romu and Mugui under a single
“We are excited to announce that Guillem Export and Frutas Tono are unifying their corporate identity under a new name
“This change represents an important step in our path to consolidation as one of the leading groups in the marketing of fresh fruit internationally.”
Deterra’s inaugural CEO has been named as Víctor Asensio
who was previously business unit director for fresh food at Aldi España
The merged company said it will source a large range of products – including citrus
and persimmons – from various different origins and operate in 31 different countries
It is expected to have a combined turnover of over €200m based on more than 190,000 tonnes of fruit sold
Chivas de Guadalajara officially announced that goalkeeper Jose Antonio Rodriguez was making a move back to La Perla Tapatia
The Mexican goalkeeper had been on loan to Club Tijuana from Chivas in this Apertura 2017 and served as the backup to Gibran Lajud
but was solid throughout the Copa MX competition
“Toño” featured in five total games in this Apertura 2017 edition of the Copa MX
including the round of 16 match against Monarcas Morelia
The Guadalajara native was the villain and the hero in this game as he made a brutal error that allowed Morelia to tie the game at two goals each
but “Toño” came out as the hero as he stopped two penalties and the Xolos took a 4-2 win in the shootout
That was easily the most memorable moment for Jose Antonio Rodriguez in his very short stint with the Tijuana Xolos
The Mexican keeper was actually an above average keeper in the few games he did play and at one point fans were calling for him to start over Gibran Lajud
The 25-year-old clearly deserves a chance to be a consistent starter for a Liga MX team and he may receive that opportunity with his hometown team
Chivas had a really solid goalkeeper in Rodolfo Cota
Pachuca was asking an astronomical amount of money for the Mexican international and it is very likely that he will stay in Pachuca
¡ChivaHermanos, @TonoRodriguez1 está de regreso con el Rebaño! ??? pic.twitter.com/UIHnjeVPAI
— CHIVAS (@Chivas) December 6, 2017
Many Xolos’ fans will not remember Rodriguez because he was mostly on the bench
but this could have been a nice stepping stone in Tijuana for the young keeper to finally get a consistent starting role
Now the question for the Xolos is if a younger keeper will be given the opportunity to be Gibran Lajud’s backup or if the new manager will bring in another keeper to sit on the bench and possibly feature in the Copa MX

If you have done all of this and still can't find the email
is what seems like an underdog beyond national borders: Toño Rodriguez
a restaurant located in an old farmhouse in Sardas
a tiny village of 37 people in the Huesca area
where two sturdy walnut trees frame the landscape of the Aragonese Pyrenees for guests
Rodriguez has been officiating there for a decade
collecting award after award: the Repsol Sun
the title for the best restaurant in Aragon and the title for the first chef in Spain
His three tasting menus are called Evolution
already describing a proposal that combines memory and future
"It depends on how the concept is interpreted
I've always thought that the basis of a sustainable model should be the stability of the team
Lately I often get calls from guys who have been through here and would like to come back because they are not getting the attention they used to and the recipes are not being shared
I am beginning to think that what is normal for me is not normal for everyone."
To raise the profile and pinpoint on maps his restaurant
Rodriguez has participated in many competitions over the years
creating dishes that he started serving in his restaurant
the pea recipe that won him the title of best chef in Spain this year: "More than 300 people tasted it before the championship
I could have prepared it with my eyes closed."
remains his mother's "patata all'importanza"
It is a traditional potato stew that I knead one by one and cook in an almond sauce

the campus mainly runs on geothermal energy and purchases renewable energy from other companies to meet its needs
The park has numerous interventions for visitors to engage in learning – a craft centre
multiple food options and day camping provisions
with the recycling plant and the educational facility at the centre of it
highlighting the positive impact of the park and its initiative
Toiletowa is nestled in a grove of trees, northeast of Ishizaka’s recycling plant. Two semicircular walls displaced along the central axis create a gentle movement within the forest. The entire building acts as a well of light, connecting heaven and earth through the skylights. The circular main building, with its elegant strokes of warm neutrals, displays 27 layers of rammed earth architecture
The building’s foundation is made from crushed stones and wooden stakes to minimise the environmental impact
the soil is mixed with slaked lime and applied over a handcrafted wooden framework
The same mixture is used as plaster for the partition walls and the hard-packed earthen floor
To expand the limited use of recycled soil as a roadbed for pavements
Mirai devised a way to use it as an essential building material
Based in Karuizawa of the Nagano Prefecture, architect Tono Mirai designs sustainable structures with a modern flare, using traditional building techniques and embracing both wood and stone architecture
believing that materials bring relief and joy to the stressful modern life
Skylights illuminate the interiors and highlight the textured landscaping of the bathroom furnishings which are made from waterproof wood chips
These chips are also used for the sidewalk along with lava stones
Crushed Japanese roof tiles are set over laminated wood panels and galvalume steel roofing
and crushed recycled stone is used to catch the rain
The waste from the toilets is sent to a nearby shed for processing
which purifies the water for further use with the added benefit of making the toilets odourless
The fermentation shed of the project consists of the fermentation layer, synthesis layer and the catalyst tank which are arranged in an arc on raised beds, creating a three-dimensional vegetable garden while preserving trees on site. The subtle 2/10 slope of the galvalume steel roof, the short walls, and the circular design of the courtyard create an inviting space for visitors to observe the process
The exterior walls of the shed are made of locally produced cedar boards in different sizes which are arranged in varying gaps in between to blend with the local forest landscape
a wood protectant created from natural materials which changes its colour randomly from its exposure to UV rays
The wastewater is treated using a biotechnology called combined fermentation (EMBC)
the representative director of Takashima Development Engineering Research Institute
who studies and develops the decomposition of various persistent and radioactive substances
Inspired by the fermentation process of Japanese Sake
aerobic and anaerobic bacteria work together to make the wastewater odourless and pure enough to drink
The impurities completely break down within 48 hours
and the resulting enzyme water activates the soil to improve crop productivity
The sustainable architecture project is on a mission to revitalise the weakened soil of the land and surrounding forest
inspired by the traditional farming practices in the local region
Plants and plant-based materials from the site such as fallen leaves
are buried in the soil to create water veins
the ‘leaf compost farming method’ has been used since the Edo period and 50 types of "fixed species" vegetables are rooted in the local climate to the present day
Regenerative agriculture for the future weaves together the soil
When asked about the most challenging aspects of this project
but a system showcase of the ecosystem by water circulation.” The wastewater and forest activation were among the most difficult things to execute
Reactivating the underground ecosystem clears the hard and poorly drained soil from the puddles
the intervention creates an everlasting cycle of vitality
By opening their recycling plant and Santome Park to the public, the Ishizaka Sangyo corporation aims to inspire visitors to view waste as a valuable resource and adopt sustainable design practices in their daily lives
Toiletowa is an initiative that bridges society with nature and technology
embodies the Japanese concept of natural environments with human settlements
these elements exemplify a resource-circulation model for the future; a waste-free
recycling-centric and sustainable society that thrives in harmony with nature

Never in my life have I felt more pressure than the first time I ordered a cheesesteak in Philadelphia
Do I order it “whiz wit” or “wit whiz?” I don’t want to make Philly hate me
“It’s like a religion,” Antonio “Tono” Gambino says
grew up in his family’s pizzerias (his mom is the Andrea of Andrea Pizza in Minneapolis)
and combined his passions at Tono Pizzeria and Cheesesteaks
There are certain foods that bring out phony regional expertise in people: the person who rails against Twin Cities bagels because she spent a night in New York City
or the lobster roll expert who once had them at a work conference in Maine
Cheesesteak brings out that outrage as well
“Every neighborhood has their own idea,” Tono’s best friend and business partner Shaz Khan says
Tono tries to make this less stressful for Minnesotans
You can order the South Philly with grilled onions
I really loved the Speziato with thinly sliced prosciutto strips and a spicy
These sandwiches are overflowing with chopped steak on an absolutely perfect hoagie bun
“The most important thing is the roll,” Tono says
They import them from the bakery that supplies most of the good spots in Philly
and that bread does a lot of work supporting all of that chopped steak
It compresses when you bite but doesn’t get soggy with the juices from the steak and melted cheese
and Tono’s cheesesteak may have the perfect ratio between bread and filling
As for that steak: It’s prime inside round—fatty enough to be juicy
and reasonably priced so they can charge $13 a sandwich
The family history in pizza shines through
A beautiful brick oven is the visual highlight of both the original Maplewood location and the new spot in the old St
The lower temperature (around 600-625°F) and slightly longer cooking time create a crust that’s crispy on the bottom but still has a chew to it
It’s not New York pizza—more like a Sicilian-style crust
The toppings are terrific: Try the Spicy Tono pepperoni with a homemade hot honey and red chili oil
My family and I loved the garlic-topped white sauce Napoleono with arugula and tomato
There’s a level of obsession here you’d expect from someone who spent a lifetime chasing the pizzas and cheesesteaks of his childhood
These guys’ ambitions are as large as their personalities: two Tono locations open
Go “whiz wit” or “Prov witout”—just go to Tono’s

Washburn set out to create a collection of compact and elegantly designed guitars with rich and full clarity and projection
I recently received a Bella Tono Elegante S24S for review
and it impressively checked all of those boxes
and I connected with the guitar immediately
A large part of that was due to the personality in the compact Washburn Studio shape and the warm colors of the solid spruce top and pau ferro back and sides
The neck is mahogany and blends in well with the overall sienna tone
Further adding to the guitar’s classiness are the diecast gold tuners and the blue-green
There’s a special touch to the inlays in that they create a scene—a crescent moon at the fifth fret
and concluding with a tiny mountain range at the 15th fret
The abalone in both the purfling and the rosette is lined on either side with fire-red padauk
and darker ebony binding offsets these slightly more flashy touches
Aside from the guitar’s out-of-the-box surface allure, the model I was sent was in need of a setup, with buzzing at several spots on the fretboard. The neck was straight, so the luthiers at Retrofret in Brooklyn
fixed the problem by adding a shim under the saddle
they also discovered that the screws put in to secure the bridge to the soundboard for gluing had not been taken out and were poking through on the inside of the guitar—unfortunate
considering how appealing the guitar otherwise is
The neck has a modern C profile with a satin finish
which creates the perfect grip and smoothness—zero stickiness or resistance sliding up and down
It also makes it easier to wrap your thumb around to grab the low E for certain grips
which would match Washburn’s goal of maintaining the clear highs commonly associated with larger body sizes
Checking around different spots on the fretboard
I found that the body was most sympathetically resonant at the first three frets
but especially in the middle—around the fifth fret for the top three strings
and at the 12th fret for the top three strings
The body sings several seconds longer on the top strings in any given spot than the bottom strings
since I care more about getting the highs to ring out
and I feel as though the lows come into the game naturally with a more powerful advantage
It actually suited my playing style so well that I was inspired to write a song on it
which you can hear a portion of at the start of the video
But that difference is noticeable where I’m complementing the high riffs with a lower voice and the lower voice is slightly more subdued
I found Washburn’s Bella Tono Elegante S24S to be a more-than-satisfactory instrument for its price
showing that it’s not always how much money you put down that gives you the best product
The guitar especially suits fingerpicking in the higher registers but balances out against heavier strumming
the compact body shape and modern C-shaped neck make it comfortable to hold and play
and the abalone and gold appointments meet the elegance of the guitar’s name
BODY: Washburn Studio shape; solid spruce top; select pau ferro back and sides; quartersawn scalloped bracing; ebony bridge; ebony binding; bone saddle; abalone purfling and rosette with padauk highlight; gloss finish
NECK: 20-fret mahogany with modern C shape; ebony fretboard with abalone bird and mountain inlays; 25.5″ scale length; satin finish; diecast gold tuners; bone nut
OTHER: D’Addario EJ16 strings (.012–.053)

It’s been 140 years since George Washburn began making stringed instruments in Chicago
I don’t think Washburn Guitars need any introduction with such a rich history in guitar building
Offering not only folk instruments such as mandolins and banjos
but also some of the most iconic electric guitars of the latter part of the 20th century
Washburn have cut a notch into musical history that will forever be warranted
most of us will know them for their acoustic guitars that have been a stalwart of many a musical journey
but the select series of instruments that are offered over time are always something special
That is certainly the case with the new Bella Tono series
with four instruments that offer a finer touch
Read more gear reviews here.
I can confidently say I have sold more Washburn guitars than any other brand over my 20 years in musical instrument retail Why is that
And the same can be said for the Bella Tono Series
which has something to offer to most acoustic guitarists
they’re all sporting a look that strays away form the traditional Dreadnaught and introduces combinations of tone woods that are fit for the size
The two standout models are the Allure and the Elegante which feature high gloss
solid spruce tops and a combination of tone woods to enhance not only the sound
Acacia or Pau Ferro back and sides and Ebony fretboards are all selected for tone and visual appeal
Both these models feature abalone inlays around the body
sound hole and within the fretboard for that extra fine touch that draws your eye even before you’ve heard them
The Allure features Washburn’s Comfort Armrest
where the upper edge of the body is angled with a maple inlay to reduce pressure from that sharp edge on your inner right arm
This is a design we first saw in some of the very top end models from Washburn about ten years back and one that was very well received by anyone who got the instrument in their hands
and Washburn have made that especially so with their larger bodied acoustic instruments
for even greater ease in reaching the higher frets and this becomes a joy to play
These are two guitars that offer both a beautiful rich tone
the Bella Tono Vite S9V model is the one that really caught my attention
The spruce top is finished in a gloss Charcoal Burst colour with a white edge to the wooden binding that makes the body shape appear just a little smaller than it is at first glance
A figured Walnut back and sides always gets my attention
If you don’t like the look of walnut on the curves of an acoustic guitar
you really need to get your priorities in order
the dark tone that walnut offers lifts the overall sound of this instrument
making it come off like a larger bodies guitar
That’s down to the Washburn Studio body with that soft cutaway like the one we saw in the Allure model
You get the comfort of playing a smaller bodied guitar
but the woods have been matched to give the tone of a larger instrument
it doesn’t have a booming quality to the sound
but rather projects it’s acoustic resonance with a little extra punch
While we’re talking about the woods used in Bella Tono Vite S9V
it is hard to go past the Ebony fretboard with a wooden vine leaf inlay running from the 2nd to the 20th frets
Two separate timbers have been used to achieve the look of the vine itself and the leaves for a really classy result
There’s no need for abalone on this instrument
it defines flamboyance and subtlety all at the same time
and leaves the walnut to really step things up
For those of you looking to perform or record with this guitar
you’ll find and under-bridge pickup combined with the Barcus Berry preamp system
Mid and High frequencies with the addition of a Presence control for really getting in the front of the mix
as has come to be expected with instruments like this these days
there are no excuses for playing out of tune
In all the four guitars of the Bella Tono series represent great value and cover a wide range of options
you’re never going to get the most out of an instrument
It would be amiss of me to say that these guitars tick all the boxes
What they do offer is an enjoyable playing experience
with a look that makes you want to pick them up
the best thing you can do is to get down to your local guitar shop and try one out for yourself
you can decide which Bella Tono guitar is your favourite
I’m leaning towards the Vite S9V for the spare space in my guitar rack

BAND-MAID is a band that cranks out hard rock sounds while we are adorned in cute maid outfits. My name is Kanami Tono
and I often feel that it is his playing that supports me emotionally
My songwriting has been influenced by countless artists
I use a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier with a 4X24 Rectifier Standard cabinet
When we were searching for a new BAND-MAID sound
its three channels make it very versatile–I can use them in many ways
Two of my many effectors are my Free The Tone ARC-3 Controller and the FT-2Y Digital Delay
The controller has no lag time when switching
The delay is also very convenient for me since it allows for so many settings to dial in the sounds that I want
I also find that FTT products are very reliable
I also use a DigiTech Polyphonic Drop Tune Pedal
I use it to drop down a semitone; while in the studio
it is handy when recording tracks in lower octaves
