Gosh, the post barely had time to dry. Or something. Stimorol School desk from Ogilvy Cape Town says "longer lasting flavor" by showing the missing gum underneath school desks.
It's only been a month since the pregnant nun munching on ice-cream was pulled, now the latest Antonio Federici meets the banhammer. Seems this was their strategy all along.
The ad which only ran in Look magazine, showed two priests in full robes eating from a tub of ice cream 'in a seductive pose as if they were about to kiss passionately', the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said. Six complaints later, presto - banned.
Defending the ad, the ice-cream company said it did not mock Catholicism but 'reflected the grave troubles they considered affected the Catholic Church'.
It's been probably six months since the last advertising offense toward Catholics, but we're at it again reports AP. The Antonio Federici brand has a posted with a heavily pregnant nun standing in a church holding a tub of ice cream and a spoon, with the strap lines declaring "Immaculately conceived" and "Ice cream is our religion".
The ASA says they've received ten complaints from people who said the ad offended christians.
Joelapompe wasn't too impressed with the Nissan Polar Bear ad either.... but for a different reason than me.
AdFreak and Adrants are going gaga over the latest Wonderbra idea, a 3D billboard in the UK. While Steve happily admits that he'll be a danger behind the wheel when posters like this distract him, just like that breathless Daily Mail article fears, Adfreak points out that Wonderbra have done the 3D thing back in 2008.
Jared Hess, of Napoleon Dynamite fame ponders if racism is the reason these ads he directed were pulled. In the ads a jheri-curled soul singer is seen serenading a pig and a funnel cake, in a rather over the top fashion. The Utah State Fair Board members have said the ads just "weren't right." Some said they were offensive.
The Utah State Fair Board decided to pull the TV ads when some board members felt they had "sexual undertones" and were "over the top." But Hess says he believes it was only because the actor is black.
The actor in the ad, Markus T. Boddie says he doesn't believe the decision was racially motivated, but he can't say for sure.
Daft ad film "ban" of the week, Comviq has decided to withdraw their new film "Choir" because viewers have taken offense at what they perceive is a film glorifying bullying, rather than a homage to another film.
The "Save our Swarm" billboard where the message is created by live bees, as seen on Adfreak and Copyranter, is ready for its badland closeup.
Americans like their apple pie, meanwhile Swedes like their sandwiches covered in eggs. On top of other eggs. It's eggtastic. In Swedish when we say "kaviar", which is caviar, we mean the stuff that comes in tubes and is generously spread on big sandwiches first. For real.
Cai Guo-Qiang: Head On could be seen at Deutsche Guggenheim, 2006 : link.
Head On concept:
With few wolves scattered in the front gallery, all ninety-nine wolves run, gallop, and jump toward the far end of the exhibition hall, where a wall stands. The bravery of the wolves is met head on by the unyielding wall. As the leading wolves go down, many more follow with force and determination. As those in the front fall and pile up, those behind take up their positions.
Meanwhile the Harvey Nichols "sale" ad called wolves created by Y&R Dubai won a Bronze Lion in Cannes this summer.
The ASA have banned the ad for the Anti-Terrorist Hotline on the ground it is seriously offensive and makes an undue appeal to fear - thems my cliff notes kids, you can read the full verdict under the link. Radio adverts that make "He likes to keep himself to himself" seem like insta-terrorists are indeed very creepy, and this particular example crossed a line - probably because most UK men who like to keep to themselves recognized their own behavior. I'm a bit miffed there's no hotline for me to call regarding the man at the end of the street here, who has parties at all hours, pays by credit card because he never has any money and in is in perpetual debt, never draws the blind because he hopes to flaunt his wiggly bits to teenage girls who pass by on the local bus route.
A woman in Norrköping has reported the Jarlsberg tv-show bumper idents to the Consumer Ombudsman for their "unpleasant" tagline: "the taste is in the holes."
First of all, it's misleading, the taste can't be in the holes. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized how unpleasant it was.
She elaborates: "I felt provoked. It felt like it was alluding to something sexual. Then I got angry. One wonders what sort of society we live in with this kind of attitude toward women."
She's not the only one with her mind firmly in the gutter. There's even facebook groups dedicated to snickering at how "dirty" the tagline is. There's blogposts musing on how the tagline might have been created by an intern, others go straight to the point that holes "probably taste like fish", and newspaper journalists are wondering if those who like tasteful cheese might be able to buy a bag full of holes. (Great idea, marketing - get on that stat!) It's currently the most discussed piece of news at aftonbladets bloggportal.
At Aftonbladet the Jarlsberg cheese Managing Director Magnus Ekstrand defends the ads, and find it being pigeon holed as a sexist ad rather odd. "Our cheese has more unique holes than any other cheese. Somewhere there, she chooses to form associations to something which we don't associate to."
If you hit up Drew Rees homepage you'll find him saying:
I am a Republican and believe people's earnings are their own...
and then blahblah, whatever. Because it's clear from his banner that he doesn't believe that peoples designs are their own. What is he trying to say here? That Reese's Peanutbutter cups support him as their candidate? That he's a direct descendant of H. B. Reese? That he has a peanut butter center? That there's no wrong way to eat him? (oh god, I went there). That he's "perfect"?
What does the Hershey company think about this? Does it fall under "parody"?
We've seen Badlanded ads that copied art before. Toshiba's "space chair" looked like Simon Faithfull's escape vehicles, Forever21's billboard looked like "hand from above", Honda Cog was a bit too close to Der Lauf Der Dinge, and in selling art the billboard art was imitating art, not to forget that these condom ads inspired by "head shots" (and later gamefaces). Yup. So here we go again, selling nuts in Sweden and Norway by way of a Swiss artists visual expression.
It's artist Geoffrey Cottenceaus "Animaux" series that clearly has inspired Estrellas campaign for assorted nuts. McCann Norway who created the campaign have admitted to Dagens Media that they have never contacted the artist. Now the campaign is running in Sweden as well, and still nobody has spoken to Geoffrey Cottenceaus. Crazy, right? Nuts, even. (Pun!)
So, everyone remember the Billboard Magazine kickass Cannes Grand Prix winning "Icons" ads, where the images of famous musicians would be made with red, yellow, blue and black images of other musicians? Yeah, it was tres clever, especially the little photo booths where you could get one of these images made from a photo of you.
Kind have an itch to scratch here. It reminds me a tad of the Spiegel campaign from DDB Dusseldorf made in 2006. Hundreds of wee icons would make the images of Bush, Mao and the iconic portrait of Che - little bombs, oil drills, that sort of thing.
Just me? Either way, they're still a little different.

Skip to comments.Confusion over 'arrest' of Saddam's number two
Posted on 09/05/2004 11:10:32 AM PDT by shrinkermd
TIKRIT, Iraq (AFP) - The fate of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s right-hand man Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri was shrouded in confusion, as Iraqi officials appeared to backtrack on earlier claims he had been captured
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I'm also confused. Is the source AP or AFP? And was there any booing?
He was captured before he wasn't captured. That memory is seared, seared...
Source was AFP, now corrected.
And was there any booing?
I think the story now is,.....
who was the original source for this well embellished (with detail) story....
and what were they trying to do...
Earlier story:
Iraq - Iraqi forces on Sunday captured Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the most wanted fugitive from Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s ousted dictatorship, Iraq (news - web sites)'s top information official said. Iraqi officials were conducting DNA tests to confirm the prisoner's identity.
But was it really Tikrit, and who was the President saying there weren't troops there?
Well, this is the original story I saw yesterday.
Even "our" Arabs have a 'Baghdad Bob' problem of saying what they hope and not sticking to verified truth ...
There's some fire under the smoke, but we dont know what it is ...
It looks like at least this much is true:
1) They got a tip Izzat was at this clinic.
"We had received information that he was admitted to a hospital near Tikrit, or let us say a clinic to have blood transfusion," Sarhan told the U.S.-funded, Arabic-language television station Alhurra.
2) They set up a raid there.
"As soon as we received this information, the forces were able to plan a major operation to arrest him," he said.
3) They captured and killed a number of people in
the action.
Ahmed Hadi, a spokesman for the minister of state for provincial affairs, said the approximately 150 gunmen with al-Douri clashed with the Iraqi forces. He did not say if there were any casualties. Hadi said the raid was carried out by Iraqi National Guard suppported by U.S. troops, helicopters and tanks.
4) They maybe got someone who looks like Izzat, or who they thought was him:
We are sure he is Izzat Ibrahim," information official Ibrahim Janabi said. "He was arrested in a clinic in Makhoul near Tikrit and Adwar (his hometown in northern Iraq) and 60 percent of the DNA test has finished."
Iraqi Minister of State Qassim Dawoud confirmed al-Douri's arrest. At a press conference in Kuwait, Qassim said some 150 others who were defending him were also arrested.
5) He's our #1 target now - if we get him, it's a big win:
Al-Douri, who had a U.S. bounty of $10 million on his head, was the highest-ranking member of Saddam's government who was still at large. Once the vice chairman of the Baath Party's Revolutionary Command Council, he was a longtime confidant of Saddam.
"A curse upon your mustache" Izzat.
Earlier threads:
Top Saddam regime fugitive al-Douri arrested
70 Killed During Capture Of 'Saddam's Aide' (Al-Douri)
I think there was another thread but I can't find it now.
There are very strong indications that Eizat Aldori the deputy of Saddam has been arrested near Tikrit!
After his arrest by the Iraqi Police and the US forces, 150 members of his guards tried to free him but most of them either killed or escaped.
More details later!
Congratulations for the victims of Abo-Al-Thaleg!
An ARAB TV network following the western media's approach of promoting news for crass commercial and money raising purposes......
now I can understand that!!!!
Everyone's back off this story. Very strange...
Saddam top aide's capture denied
Reports that Saddam Hussein's top aide Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri is in custody in Iraq have proved unfounded. Initial announcements by the Iraqi authorities suggested he had been arrested on Saturday while receiving treatment at a clinic near Tikrit.
But the US military have made it clear he is not in their custody, and the Iraqi national guard later denied involvement in any operation.
There have been several previous false reports about his arrest.
Mr Douri - known as Saddam Hussein's enforcer - has been described as the most senior figure in the former regime still at large, and the most wanted.
Mr Douri was Saddam Hussein's number two in the Revolutionary Command Council, and is sixth on the list of 55 most wanted members of the regime. The top five have all been captured or killed.
He is accused of financing insurgent groups, and has a $10m price tag on his head.
Maybe they want to secure the release of the french hostages before confirming his arrest. If they confirm his arrest and the french journalists are not released, this may put their lives in danger.
I'm wondering if Washington is waiting until after the hurricane (and maybe the holiday weekend) to confirm?
This is getting wild.
See #13 and #14...
More confusion... see #16.
He was captured before he wasn't captured.
Yeah, that report doesn't sound promising.
Please ping me if in the next 24 hrs he's either in jail or confirmed dead. Otherwise, it's a bad day...only kidding.
There was a good price tag on his head. Maybe they are trying to figure out who to pay? Or this could be akin to a UFO or Elvis sighting?!
A senior commander in the Iraqi national guard has insisted his officers have not captured Saddam Hussein's deputy, Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri.
Major General Ahmed Khalaf Salman, who is commander for the central region where the capture reportedly took place, says the guardsmen were wrong to announce they had apprehended him or participated in any such operation.
He says Iraqi forces did not take part in any operation and did not capture al-Duri.
Earlier, Iraqi officials said Ibrahim was captured in Tikrit, Saddam's hometown and powerbase north of Baghdad, in which 70 of his supporters were reportedly killed and 80 captured.
06/09/2004 01:53:18 | ABC Radio Australia News
Don't know...strange.
ping for #27.
See #27....
Baghdad Bob ..Where are you?
We need someone to cpature the next 4 years anyway.
Hurricane? Huh?
I can't find anything about that on Fox News Channel.
Source was AFP, now corrected.
> And was there any booing?
AFP actually got the reaction of us Cheddar Brains right (polite applause).
Hmmm..... well, I've noticed that AP has some problems keeping up with the news on the weekends. So, I'm not going to give that much weight.
I love Fox, but they are really lacking on their hurricane coverage. Last night they had Geraldo blinking in out, and another anchor somewhere else in Florida. The other anchor had better reception, but everytime Geraldo got a two- second signal they went back to him. Why don't they just set these guys up inside somewhere and report the facts. Seeing Geraldo and the other anchor getting pelted with rain, and blown off the screen is more annoying than dramatic. Finally, I switched to MSNBC, and they had better coverage. Fox needs to get their act together on on-the-spot coverage.
Insightful post...for a newbie. Nice job.
5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
One is dated for Sept 6th! (asia)
Looks like we werent the only ones fooled by this one. All the media seem to have ran with it.
Maybe it will pan out in a day or 2, or he will feel guilty and turn himself in.
Maybe he knows where the WMDs are.
**Confusion over 'arrest' of Saddam's number two **
Don't worry, we'll figure it out.
Sounds like he wants a deal.
I was wondering what he looked like. That sure is a series expression on his face. He looks like he needs a shower.
just getting home now, trying to follow this story with scant media reports today.
not sure what to make of this - but one thing, perhaps his capture cannot be acknowledged. if he has information to give, and he wants to enter the "witness protection program", we certainly can't say that we nabbed him, only to release him later. we've got to deny his capture right away, so he can just fade away.
if, within the next 2-3 weeks, suddenly we see some new bunker located with WMD - we'll know we got him, and what information he turned over to secure his new identity.
see post 46.
Person never seen or heard of again.
Government denies any knowledge of the arrest or where abouts of person.
One of those little bumps in the road to democracy.

When you're having a baby you want the privacy, special touches and caring support of a freestanding childbirth center. But you also want access to all the technology and specialists that might ever be needed during labor and delivery.
Our NewLife Center for labor and delivery gives you both. It spans the entire fourth floor, creating the feeling of a freestanding center. But it's a comfortable place even for women with high-risk pregnancies who may need the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Our caring, experienced, family-friendly staff will be there for you before, during and after the childbirth.
Staffed by highly skilled labor and delivery nurses dedicated to providing family-centered care, the NewLife Center has 15 spacious and attractively decorated labor and delivery suites. Each is designed to provide an intimate and comfortable environment for you and those with whom you choose to share your childbirth experience.
Each room also is equipped with the technology necessary to provide a safe labor, birth and delivery for you and your baby. And because we believe every birthing center should be equipped to handle the unexpected, a Level III NICU is just steps away.
Post partum
After your baby is born, you'll move to one of our large, well-appointed mom and baby suites, where the queen-size beds create the pampering atmosphere of a posh hotel. You'll even be able to order a tasty meal from our room service menu.
Breastfeeding moms will find advice and encouragement with breastfeeding classes before their babies are born, a visit from a certified lactation consultant during their hospital stay, and follow-up support after going home.
Your care
The NewLife Center care team is highly experienced and specially trained to care for moms and babies through every phase of labor, delivery and after childbirth to return home.
The facility is prepared for even the most complicated pregnancies and births, with obstetricians and labor and delivery nursing staff trained in obstetrical and neonatal critical care for high risk pregnant mothers and premature babies or ill newborns.
Birth plans allow expectant moms to plan in advance what sort of pain relief they'd like during childbirth, whether they'd like silence or soft music, or be alone with their partner during the actual childbirth or have other family or friends present.
Childbirth classes prepare parents and families for impending birth with a tour of our facility, birthing education and more.
Tours of the birthing center at the NewLife Center are available Monday evenings and Saturday mornings. Each tour includes a labor and delivery question and answer session, a chance to see the NewLife Center birthing rooms, meet other expectant families and begin to plan your childbirth experience.

"I've always thought the difference between three and four stars is the service. I don't necessarily think that the food at Per Se is any better than at Franny's. It's just a different experience." –Chef Brad McDonald
Brooklyn Heights has long had a reputation for being a beautiful neighborhood, filled with stately brownstones preening amid quiet streets garlanded with lush greenery – blemished only by its dearth of quality dining options.
When restaurant industry veterans Tamer Hamawi, Emelie Kihlstrom and Elise Rosenberg, after years of working together, decided to team up to open their own restaurant, Brooklyn Heights seemed like a neighborhood rife with opportunity.
Their original plan – to open a wine bar with small plates – evolved into a full-blown restaurant when they fell in love a larger space on Atlantic Avenue. And Colonie – which opened last spring – has evolved into a full-blown neighborhood sensation since Brad McDonald, a veteran of Essex House, Per Se, and Denmark's high-flying Noma, took over the kitchen.
We sat down with Brad to chat about the cooking life.
So Brad, tell us about Colonie. What's your approach with the food?
Colonie is definitely a restaurant that's seeking the popular vote. The food that we put on the plate – I don't want it to be too much to think about. Some diners may have questions about the techniques used in some dishes, but I want it to be pretty straightforward. The dining populace is a little more informed these days, so they're expecting a little bit more, but it's definitely a populist restaurant in that we'll always have a steak and fries on the menu, a couple of simple salads. We're doing crostini and meat and cheese plates. The original idea for Colonie was that it was going to be a small charcuterie, cheese and wine joint, done right.
But then Emelie, Elise and Tamer, who opened the place, walked by this space and couldn't resist it, so it turned into a restaurant. They still wanted to keep that essence of a good wine bar – always approachable — a place where you can get a cocktail, a well-executed meal. So essentially it's a bistro. A beautiful bistro. That's the approach to the cuisine. A bistro with what's hopefully an unpretentious gastronomic touch to the food, done by guys who have the experience and the know-how to nail it.
How did you get interested in food? How did you become a chef?
I grew up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, which is a small town that sort of rises up out of the Mississippi Delta. I grew up on a hill that overlooked the edges of the delta. I grew up riding four-wheelers, going to my grandmother's house on Sundays and eating the same turkey dinner and peach and mayonnaise salad every week.
Peach and mayo salad?
I actually never ate the peach and mayo salad. It was always served, but I couldn't do it. Are you familiar with the dish?
Can't say that I've had the pleasure…
It's a crazy sort of staple salad in old-school southern homes. It was a piece of iceberg lettuce, with a canned peach in syrup, drained and set over the lettuce, with a little garnish of mayonnaise. I never had the desire to taste it. It just never appealed to me!
So that's the culinary heritage I come from. I ate a lot of fast food as a kid — no doubt about it. I was a latchkey kid. My dad raised me. My mom was still very present in my life but my dad raised me. I kind of learned how to cook out of necessity — cooking for myself. I was sort of an independent spirit as a kid and I always wanted to do everything on my own.
I tended more towards pastry when I was younger. Baking was always very interesting to me. The first cookbook I ever got was in sixth grade – the Hershey's Chocolate cookbook. I got it at a book fair at school.
I definitely sort of zoned out by diving into that book from time to time. I just thought it was so cool to make these things from scratch – to make something tangible, tasty and satisfactory from scratch by myself.
I had a desire to go to culinary school when I finished high school, but my parents sort of squashed that idea. They said, "Why don't you get a real degree? Something more traditional?" So I went to the University of Mississippi, and I studied a lot of different things and I ended up getting a degree in English Literature with a minor in French. Reading and writing were the things of most interest to me.
You're a reader?
I used to be. Now I don't have much time. I can get into books, for sure though.
When I was in school I started washing dishes at a pizza joint for cash. It was an easy three or four-day a week restaurant job. Eventually I moved on to their salad station.
For a writing class in school, one of our assignments was to write a piece interviewing someone working in the field we thought we wanted to end up in. I thought, OK, maybe as an experiment, or maybe half-knowing already that I was going to pursue a career in food, I interviewed a local chef named John Currence, of The City Grocery in Oxford, Mississippi. Just a few years ago he won the James Beard award for best chef in the southeast.
I ended up asking him for a job at the end of our interview. He had a spot open so I joined his team. His family was from New Orleans. He had a strong culinary heritage – particularly French-Creole. I started working for him as a prep cook, and went as far as I could in the two years that I worked for him. And that's where I decided I was fully into this culture, and into this lifestyle. I really enjoyed it and decided that I'd get very serious about it after school.
I had always been a Francophile, for no apparent reason at all, other than that I thought my French teacher in high school was pretty cool and had led a pretty cultured life. Coming from an area of the South with a very strong, but very closed culture, I thought that the best thing for me to do would be to expand my horizons. So I moved directly to France after graduating school, intending to teach English and travel.
I did teach English for a little bit, but ultimately worked my way into a restaurant through some friends of the family over there. It was in a little town called Colmar, in Alsace. And that ended up really acting as a catapult for the rest of my career. When I got back to the states, even though I'd had very little experience, having had the ambition to work in a restaurant in France seemed to be enough to let me get a foot in the door in some situations that I might not otherwise have been able to get into.
I moved back to Atlanta, where my mother was living at the time, and I spent two years working for chef Bruno Menard at The Ritz Carlton Buckhead. From there, connections just started opening up. The restaurant world is a very incestuous community…Maybe a better way of saying it is that it's a very well-networked community. It's not hard to go somewhere, anywhere in the world really, and find someone who worked with a friend of yours.
Once you're in the network, it kind of gets smaller and smaller. The network took me to Ducasse, Ducasse took me to Per Se, Per Se led to my next job and so on and so on.
Cooking for me started as a passion when I was a kid, then it became a necessity to earn some cash in college, and then it turned back into that passion zone — I just wanted to learn as much as I could, as quickly as I could.
Did you go to culinary school?
No. After having spent two years in a restaurant kitchen in Mississippi, then moving to France, and coming back and working in some good kitchens…by the time I got to the point where I could either afford it or seriously think about, too many of my mentors and people surrounding me were saying I was already too far along to get any benefit out of it.
Most of the guys that I work with that are really good that went to school were already probably really good before they went to school, or would have become really good even if they hadn't gone. For a lot of people, school is really more about the networking, and I had already kind of broken into that network.
So you've worked in some great restaurants. Can you tell us a little bit about how the kitchen culture varies from restaurant to restaurant? What makes a restaurant unique?
As far as the kitchens themselves and how they operate, nothing really changes. Whether you're working at the pizza joint washing dishes or you're at a four star restaurant in Columbus Circle, they're all dealing with essentially the same problems. They're trying to minimize the amount of waste. They're trying to maximize their profit. They're always dealing with staffing issues. There's always some kind of internal drama that's going on. It never goes away no matter where you are. They're all essentially the same problems.
It's the organization within each kitchen that allows each to deal with those problems in a more or less efficient, or professional or even legal manner. Even in some of the best kitchens, I've worked with some really talented guys, but I've also worked with some guys who were no more skilled than the line cooks I worked with in Mississippi. Oftentimes, your degree of success in a particular kitchen as a cook has as much to do with whether or not you drink the Kool Aid – whether or not you buy into the culture and approach of that kitchen, as it does with your cooking skills.
You know, maybe the difference between working in the kitchen in Mississippi and in Alsace was that in Mississippi my sous chef was a pothead, while in France the dishwasher was a pothead. There's always a pothead! You have these same sorts of characters that just keep popping up no matter where you're working. It's almost like you're dealing with the same cast of characters but in a different novel – each time you're working in a different kitchen.
That's just how I see it. Someone else may see it differently.
Now that said, while each kitchen may have the same cast of characters operating inside different novels, what distinguishes the quality of the food? What's the difference between that cast putting out great food in one place and not so great food in another?
You know, this is a really complicated question for me. What distinguishes the quality of food? What a matrix of a problem that is to solve…there are way too many different ways to attack that problem.
In my opinion, you can have one of the best meals in New York City at Franny's, up on Flatbush. Or in Sam Sifton's opinion you can have one of the best meals in the city at Per Se.
Or at Frankies on Court Street, which Sifton hailed in his sign-off…
Yeah, exactly. I think perhaps we enter into this question with a little bit of an assumption that the more expensive the meal, and the fancier the dining situation, the better the food is. For me, that's not necessarily true. I've always thought the difference between three and four stars is the service. I don't necessarily think that the food at Per Se is any better than at Franny's. It's just a different experience.
I think that as a culture we often don't focus on what dining is really about. A lot of the time the attention isn't focused on the food, it's focused on the table, the room, the service. And that's why I can't draw a distinction between a great meal at Franny's and a great meal at Per Se. If it's just about taking the time to sit down, enjoy the company of others, and enjoy tasty food, what's the difference? For me it doesn't even have to be beautiful. It just has to be tasty, well-executed food. That's all that really matters in the end.
But it's a question I'll probably continue to struggle with, to continue to search for an answer for, for years. It's something that I ask myself almost on a daily basis. What differentiates great cuisine from everything else? Personally, I want my dining experience to be about the food and the company — the enjoyment.
For me, all that should matter at the end of the end of the day is the taste. Are the flavors good? Is it balanced well? Is it well-executed?
What about ingredients? Do they matter?
Ingredients definitely matter. You know that famous story about Alice Waters? She was invited to cook at a James Beard dinner. And she went to the market and bought the most beautiful greens she could find, the nicest vinegar she could find, and she made this simple salad. And one of the cooks looked over and said, "That's not cooking, that's shopping."
And that is true. But the shopping is important.
In New York we have great product but we don't have the best product. We're getting better at producing great product from the ground in this area, but if you're going to cook in a city like Paris or San Fransisco, you've got an advantage because it's much easier to do great shopping. Sourcing is very very important. I think that's one reason that the restaurant world in New York can be quite competitive behind the scenes – you find this ingredient or you find this farmer who's doing great things, and there's an urge to keep that to yourself, because there's not as much great product coming in consistently here as there is in some other cities.
I worked for Ducasse and his mantra is, "it's 60% product and 40% technique." I think that's very true, particularly if you're trying to cook in a way that's about exalting great products.
I think that for a lot of chefs, no matter where you start you're constantly progressing towards wanting to work with the best, the most exclusive ingredients. That's not true of all chefs. A lot of great guys are very content cooking with good products and cooking the way that they cook, but they're not necessarily striving to strip the earth of its greatest assets. I try to find a little bit of a balance in between, I'm one of those guys for whom the product definitely matters.
One way to be successful with food is to tell a great story. In order to tell a great story there has to be something unique about your story. One way to achieve that is to source great products.
When you talk about telling a story, do you mean you're aiming to tell a story in each of your dishes?
I think so, but there are so many different levels of that. No two diners are the same. They're all looking for their own stories to take away. Some people are going to come in and enjoy their meal, but think the garden wall over there is one of the greatest things they've seen in a while. Others are going to come in and completely miss the garden wall, but they'll talk about their perfectly cooked steak for a week.
It's about making sure the food is right, the ambiance is right, the service is right. It's about all the small details. There really is no one pinpoint, no science to it. More than anything I think you just have to do what you do with honesty. I think everything else kind of follows from that. If you've been honest with yourself and your team, you can't have any regrets.
Where were you before Colonie?
I spent a year doing mercenary work for hire, working on plans to open my own restaurant. After about a year I found a place and was getting closer and closer to signing a lease, when I found out that the chef here was going to be leaving, even though they'd just opened.
I met Emily, Elise and Tamar through a mutual friend, and we met and talked and decided that it was all going to be good if we partnered up, and set a goal to open another restaurant as well.
You've got another project in the works?
We're well on our way to starting construction on a second space in DUMBO, at the foot of the clock tower building. It's going to be a small joint. A little different, more modern than Colonie. I hope to push the meaning of local food, great ingredients there. Hopefully it'll always be busy and bustling. We're really looking forward to it…while always staying focused on keeping things strumming here at Colonie.
So was there something in particular about Emelie, Elise and Tamer — about what they were doing here that really appealed to you?
I thought this was a beautiful restaurant that had the potential to be even better than it was, and I felt like I could help to realize that potential. I hope that I have.
And there were other outside forces at play. We just had our first baby in May. I felt some pressure to figure out what was going on with my project – was it actually going to take off or not? We decided we wanted something a little bit less risky, a little more stable. With my wife at home pregnant and myself out there doing mercenary work, we had become a little separated from the restaurant community, and there was a desire to get back into it. And I just really got on with my partners from the first time we met.
They're really good folks and they're really trying to accomplish something here. We work well together. We make decisions well together. Our goals were similar. They saw the potential for a great restaurant in a neighborhood that could use one. I felt the same way about trying to open a restaurant in DUMBO, which is where I live. I see the need in DUMBO for something new, something fresh, something a little more contemporary, and maybe even something that pushes the ticket a little bit.
So we all agreed to team up and do both, and that's how I came to be here at Colonie.

Looks pretty but not comfy
"These sandals are so nice to look at in the box. On the feet they are very narrow and extra long! They do not look nice on because of the length. And when walking in them the ankle strap rubs on ankle bone and the heel."

"As cute as these flats are, the pain is unbearable! The tan strap bore into the base of my pinkie toe and the high back on my heels/ankle caused me to wear a band aid. Such a shame!"

Cute but pinched
"I love these shoes, especially with the bright colors. I only had two little issues with them. 1) My foot must be too tall or something because they don't fit through the front straps very easily. I wedge them in and adjust the straps. This is loosening up though as I wear them so I think they will be fine; however, the first few times I wore them they definitely pinched. 2) The colors are a bit inconsistent. My left shoe is all purples and pinks and the right shoe has a big stripe of yellow across the toes. I realize the idea is that they don't look identical, but this is such an obvious difference, I initially thought it was a mistake. I don't mind it that much but it is a little weird.That being said they are pretty comfy; they have a good cushion under your feel. Also the leather is high quality and soft. Overall, I am happy with the purchase."

They are cute but...
"I'm not a fan of the front. I love the purple and pink color scheme but I don't feel like it works with the brown. I also think the front is strange and isn't comfy for the toes. I also wasn't a fan of the ankle strap but perhaps in a different color they would be nicer."

"The Interaction of Nitric Oxide and Hemoglobin in Regulation of Pulmonary Vascular Tone"
Term: January 1, 2007 – December 31, 2008
The Interaction of Nitric Oxide and Hemoglobin in Regulation of Pulmonary Vascular Tone
Pulmonary hypertension is a disease in which blood pressure between the heart and the lung is elevated, sometimes due to constriction of the arteries carrying blood to the lung. In severe cases, pulmonary hypertension can lead to impaired blood flow to the lungs and an inability to adequately oxygenate the blood. In addition, the additional work required by the heart to pump blood through the lung can lead to heart disease and failure.
Hemolysis is a condition in which red blood cells (rbcs) in the blood break open, spilling their contents into the plasma. By far the main content of rbcs is hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. In severe hemolysis, the ability of the body to clear hemoglobin from the plasma is overwhelmed. When this happens, hemoglobin in the plasma becomes a toxin.
The primary toxic effect of free plasma hemoglobin is its tendency to bind quickly to an important chemical in the blood called nitric oxide (NO). NO is produced by the body and is necessary in order to relax the arteries, which keeps blood pressure low. When hemoglobin is free in the plasma, it scavenges NO in the circulation, resulting in artery contraction and increased blood pressure. Recent evidence indicates that free hemoglobin selectively constricts pulmonary arteries, leading to pulmonary hypertension. The studies proposed in this application will develop an animal model of pulmonary hypertension cause by hemolysis and then use that model to explore the mechanisms and potential treatments of this disease.

Financial Institutions and Bankruptcy

Seattle University Law Review, Forthcoming
Seton Hall Public Law Research Paper No. 1726944
The first part of this paper sketches the several existing systems for resolving financial distress in financial firms, including the new resolution authority created by the Dodd-Frank bill. By my count, there are at least six systems at work here, not counting state-by-state variations. I then examine the coverage of these systems, and the uncertainty created by the interaction of the same. For example, under current law, a large hedge fund would be "resolved" under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code – unless the newly created systemic risk counsel, a body dominated by people from outside the restructuring community, decides otherwise. This leaves it unclear to the fund's counterparties which set of rules is incorporated into their contracts with the hedge fund. Undoubtedly both will be priced, with a further discount for the uncertainty. That is unlikely to be the optimal solution, and may increase systemic risk.

A pair of financial statements that are necessary when dealing with stocks, especially when the financial security is being considered as an investment, include the income statement and a balance sheet. Each of these documents are combined with a company's regulatory filings and may also be found on the investor-relations page of the business's website. These documents offer investors a look into the financial situation at a firm and may help individuals to make more educated investment decisions.
Publicly traded companies issue an income statement and a balance sheet on a quarterly and yearly basis. The financial information on both financial statements reflects activity that unfolded over the previous three-month or 12-month period. Essentially, the income statement encapsulates the profitability or loss experienced during a period. A balance sheet lists a company's assets in relation to its liabilities. The features in either statement reflect, in part, the type of risk associated with a stock investment.
Income Statement
According to MSN Money, an investor is likely to benefit from exposure to a company's stock when that business has minimal expenses in comparison with sales. Both of these features, expenses and sales, are listed on the income statement. Profitability represents another feature that investors should know. Net income and bottom-line growth are alternative ways of expressing profits. Also, profits are expressed on a per-share basis, and financial analysts and corporate analysts typically establish expectations for these results. When a company misses a profit estimate, it is something to investigate.
Balance Sheet
By reading a company's balance sheet, an investor can gain a perspective on what that business's assets are in comparison to any debts. When assets outweigh debts, that's generally a positive sign. In the event the ratio is reversed, an investor may want to at least learn the reason why liabilities outweigh assets before investing. An interesting feature of this document is the retained earnings. It is a reflection of how likely a company is to reinvest profits in the business versus distributing profits via dividends to investors.
According to a 2011 article in News-Sun, which is published by the Chicago Sun-Times, the merits of a financial statement might not be enough to justify owning a stock over the long term. This perspective is in light of a global economic crisis that threatened the financial markets in the U.S. and across Europe during this time. Even when companies are posting revenue growth and profitability, the strength in a balance sheet may not be enough to counter macro-economic events that are weighing on the world markets.

At least one player in the Bears locker room was willing to speak out against franchise quarterback Jay Cutler on Monday.
Bears nickelback D.J. Moore criticized Cutler for shoving teammate J'Marcus Webb during the team's 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday at Lambeau Field. After Webb missed a block on the previous play, Cutler screamed at Webb as they walked toward the sideline, then bumped Webb with his shoulder pad and shoved him as he walked away.
As everyone else on the team defended Cutler, Moore defended Webb.
"I don't think you can act like that, though," Moore said. "To make it seem like it's just my fault or what not, I think it's just wrong, though, honestly.
"I would feel some kind of way if he was to do me like that, to make it seem like, 'Well, the reason I'm having a bad game is because is what you're doing and not about me taking accountability for myself because I'm throwing these type of passes and doing these type of reads.' It's a tough situation."
Moore said teammates could disagree as long as it took place in the privacy of the locker room, not on the sidelines in front of thousands of fans and millions of TV viewers.
"When you act like that, though, with your own teammates on the sideline, it's just something different that you normally wouldn't do," Moore said. "You might say it in the locker room or something, but to do it like he did, that's something different. I don't know, it's just weird."
Asked whether Cutler should address the team, Moore said no.
"It's just him," Moore said. "That's the type of guy he is. He's not going to hold anything back. If he were to talk to the team you would feel weird about it because it's really not his thing, though."

Physics Of SoundAuthor:
Berg, Richard E., Stork, David G.
Edition: 3
Pub Date: 2004
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Summary: The Physics of Soundwas written for an introductory course in acoustics for nonscientists. A background in neither physics nor mathematics above high school algebra is required. Traditionally, such courses have been tailored to music majors; nonmusicians either do not enroll or do not fully appreciate the physical principles because they are applied almost exclusively to musical topics. We have tried to avoid this li...mitation by dividing the text into three main sections. Chapters 1-4 present the basic physics essential for virtually all topics in the text: simple harmonic motion, wave principles, resonance, standing waves, the overtone series, Fourier synthesis, and spectrum analysis. No previous musical knowledge is required to appreciate these chapters, and a brief summary of the basic musical notation used in these chapters is provided in Appendix A. Applications and illustrations come from a variety of musical and nonmusical areas. We have revised Chapter 1 with additional discussion of SHM and apply these concepts to debunking psychokinetic myths. Our discussion of wave properties of sound in Chapter 2 has been revised to include a discussion of modern applications such as noise cancellation technology, highway noise barriers, and ultramodern sonogram technology. Chapters 5-8 illustrate the principles outlined in Chapters 1-4 and are of general interest to the musician and the nonmusician alike. The use of musical concepts and notation has been minimized so as to retain the broadest base of appeal, but the more important musical aspects of each topic are still included. For example, Chapter 7 on sound reproduction and Chapter 8 on room acoustics illustrate the principles presented in earlier chapters and are of substantial interest because of the part they play in our daily lives. We use the discussion of analog synthesizers in Chapter 5 as an opportunity to investigate the differences between sounds by studying how these sounds are created in a synthesizer. Our treatment of digital synthesizers has been updated to include use of computers as an integral part of the synthesizer system. The material on MIDI systems includes further discussion of how these systems are used to compose music and to aid musical performance using contemporary computer programs such as Sibelius. We have also added a section on physics and synthesizers in contemporary electroacoustic music composition. Chapter 6 discusses the principles of the ear and the voice at an elementary level, but has been updated with a section on cochlear implants, which have literally dated a revolution in education of hearing disabled children. We have also included 4 section on the use of audio spectrograms in teaching language to the hearing disabled. Chapter 7 has been thoroughly revised from the second edition to include a discussion of MP3 using the concepts of spectral analysis and masking covered previously. Chapter 8 has been updated with a discussion of visual and musical features for a new auditorium at the University of Maryland. The first eight chapters contain the core material for a one-semester course in the physics of sound and music. Chapters 9-14 are more specialized. Each of these chapters independently treats a different aspect of musicalacoustics and is best (though not exclusively) understood by those with some musical experience. Photographs of families of contemporary instruments have been added to the chapters on woodwinds and brasses. Any of the final six chapters could be studied in class or could naturally be assigned to students on an individual basis. Unlike most authors of elementary acoustics texts, we have treated the historical development of instruments, paying particular attention to acoustical developments. We have also tried to relate the physical principles of contemporary instruments to performance technique; the knowledge of howand whyan instrument works a [read more]

"Love everything about these shoes. Way more comfy than it looks. Runs a little short so order a half size up."

So Stylish & Comfy!
"These shoes are AWESOME. I read all the reviews, and ended up finding a black pair as a final sale elsewhere in a 6.5, which thrilled me because everyone said to order one size up. Well unfortunately, ordering 1/2 size up for ME did not work. I can still wear the black ones, but I had to put a thick heel insert inside so they wouldn't slip off of my feet. I ordered these nude ones in my regular size 6 and they are PERFECT. Yes, they are a bit tight when you put them on the first couple times, but with wear that patent will relax/stretch a bit to fit your foot more comfortably. Love, love, LOVE!"
