What about animals?
The talk of Kelly McGonigal implies that stress is only problematic when individuals classify it as bad. However, stress is also affecting animals, with stressed individuals living less long (e.g. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/279/1729/709.short). I have difficulties to conceive how animals could classify stress as bad and suffer from it (because of their limited cognitive abilities), but also how humans could not be sensitive to stress when animals are. Any ideas how to reconcile the two?

Sep 11 2013: chrisophe, would you mind telling me what stresses Kelly is talking about. I suppose animals could be more sensitive to stress because they don't have as much of an ability to change a situation to their liking, or ask for compensation. For example, if a freeway takes an animal's habitat, the animal can't fight it or ask for help relocating, whereas human beings can fight it or at least fight for help relocating (nowadays, the government usually gives people a check when a government project takes people's home, but perhaps the government didn't always do that, perhaps there was a time when people had to fight for it.)
Sep 11 2013: Thanks Greg for your answer.
I think Kelly is referring to the normal stress, even though this was not very clear in her talk.
There is an important distinction to be made between chronic and normal stress. And the causes of chronic stress are much more difficult to change than for normal stress, even for humans.
So I still think that humans facing chronic stress will have health consequences, independently from how they judge stress.
However, I still have not read the paper Kelly is referring to, and it might help understand better what she meant.

(01/09/13) - If you live in an apartment and your neighbor smokes you may just
as well be smoking, too. This is especially true if you live in an apartment.
Second hand smoke travels farther than you might think.
Some states are cracking down, but where that is not happening yet, landlords can and are taking the lead.
"I never smoked in my life. I never even touched a cigarette," Beatrice said.
It doesn't matter. She still has COPD and nodules on her lungs from inhaling someone else's cigarette smoke. Like Beatrice, if you live in an apartment building and your neighbor smokes, you do too. In fact, second hand smoke kills more people every year than car crashes.
"You're looking at an estimate of anywhere between 40 and 60,000 deaths per year attributable to second-hand smoke," says Dr. Andrew Hyland of Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Twenty-eight states, including Michigan, ban smoking in public places, but smoking in apartments is legal. But, what a lot of property owners may not know, is that they can adopt their own smoke-free policies, regardless of state law.
"Why, just because you have limited choices and limited income, should you be almost forced to live in an unhealthy environment?" asks Pam Berger of Belmont Housing Resources.
Smoke can easily travel through vents and cracks under doors, she says, "We just wanted to provide everybody with a healthier environment."
Jenna Brinkworth, of Roswell Cancer Institute, educates landlords on how to make the switch. "This is a growing trend across the country. Many landlords are becoming more aware that it's something they can legally do."
Smoke-free policies have increased 1,300 percent in the last six years and tenants are thankful.
Madeline, who has asthma from secondhand smoke, has followed Beatrice's lead, and lives in a smoke-free apartment complex. "I don't want to get any worse. I wanna see my grand kids get married."
Smokers are not considered a "protected class", and it's perfectly legal for landlords to change to smoke-free policies at any time. Since Pam Berger's buildings have gone smoke-free, vacancy loss has dropped 29 percent.

In 1964, the President's Appalachian Regional Commission (PARC) reported to Congress that economic growth in Appalachia would not be possible until the region's isolation had been overcome. Because the cost of building highways through Appalachia's mountainous terrain was high, the region's local residents had never been served by adequate roads. The existing network of narrow, winding, two-lane roads, snaking through narrow stream valleys or over mountaintops, was slow to drive, unsafe, and in many places worn out. The nation's Interstate Highway System, though extensive through the region, was designed to serve cross-country traffic rather than local residents.
The PARC report and the Appalachian governors placed top priority on a modern highway system as the key to economic development. As a result, Congress authorized the construction of the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) in the Appalachian Development Act of 1965. The ADHS was designed to generate economic development in previously isolated areas, supplement the interstate system, and provide access to areas within the region as well as to markets in the rest of the nation. The system has served its intended purpose to varying degrees of success.
Currently, the ADHS is authorized at 3,090 miles (4,970 km), including 65 miles (105 km) added in January 2004 by Public Law 108-199. By the end of FY 2004, 2,627 miles (4,228 km)—approximately 85 percent of the 3,090 miles (4,970 km) authorized—were complete or under construction. Many of the remaining miles will be among the most expensive to build.[1]
Corridor Z across southern Georgia is not part of the official system, but has been assigned by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
List of ADHS corridors[edit]
Corridor A[edit]
|Sandy Springs, GA – Clyde, NC
|198.6 mi[2] (319.6 km)
Corridor A is a highway in the states of Georgia and North Carolina. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from Interstate 285 north of Atlanta northeasterly to Interstate 40 near Clyde, North Carolina. I-40 continues easterly past Asheville, where it meets Interstate 26 and Corridor B.
In Georgia, Corridor A travels along the State Route 400 freeway from I-285 to the State Route 141 interchange southwest of Cumming.[3] From there northwest between Ball Ground and Nelson, near the north end of Interstate 575, Corridor A has not been constructed; its proposed path is near that of the cancelled Northern Arc. It begins again with a short piece of State Route 372, becoming State Route 515 when it meets I-575. SR 515 is a four-lane divided highway all the way to Blairsville. From Blairsville to North Carolina, the corridor has not been built, and SR 515 is a two-lane road.[citation needed]
The short North Carolina Highway 69 takes Corridor A north to U.S. Highway 64 near Hayesville. Corridor A turns east on US 64, and after some two-lane sections, it becomes a four-lane highway.[citation needed] Corridor A switches to U.S. Highway 23 near Franklin, and meets the east end of Corridor K near Sylva. From Sylva to its end at Interstate 40 near Clyde, Corridor A uses the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway, which carries US 23 most of the way and U.S. Highway 74 for its entire length.
Corridor A-1[edit]
|Cumming, GA – Dawsonville, GA
|15.8 mi[2] (25.4 km)
Corridor A-1 uses U.S. Route 19/Georgia State Route 400 from the point that Corridor A leaves it, at State Route 141 near Cumming, northeast to State Route 53 near Bright. SR 400 continues northeast as a four-lane highway from SR 53 to State Route 60 south of Dahlonega; this section was built "with APL funds as a local access road".[3]
Corridor B[edit]
|Asheville, NC – Lucasville, OH
|305.5 mi[2] (491.7 km)
Corridor B is a highway in the states of North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, and generally follows U.S. Route 23 from Interstate 26 and Interstate 40 near Asheville, North Carolina, north to Corridor C north of Portsmouth, Ohio.[4]
Corridor B uses Interstate 240 from its south end into downtown Asheville, where it uses US 23 (current and future Interstate 26) to Kingsport, Tennessee. The US 23 freeway ends at the Tennessee/Virginia state line, but US 23 is a four-lane divided highway all the way through Virginia and into northeastern Kentucky.[5]
At Grays Branch, Kentucky, Corridor B leaves US 23 to turn east on Kentucky Route 10 over the two-lane Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge into Ohio. The short Ohio State Route 253 connects the bridge to U.S. Route 52, a freeway that takes Corridor B north to Wheelersburg. US 52 continues west to Portsmouth, but the proposed alignment of Corridor B continues north and northwest along the planned Portsmouth Bypass to US 23 near Lucasville. The part of Corridor B north of SR 253 is also part of the I-73/74 North–South Corridor.[6]
Corridor B-1[edit]
|Greenup, KY – Lucasville, OH
|18.0 mi[2] (29.0 km)
Corridor B-1 runs from Kentucky Route 10 to the north end of the Portsmouth Bypass. In Kentucky, it follows US 23 and U.S. Highway 23 Truck; after crossing the two-lane Carl Perkins Bridge into Ohio, it uses current and planned State Route 852—a western bypass of Portsmouth—and US 23. Corridors B and B-1 both end near Lucasville, where Corridor C continues north along US 23 to Columbus.[6]
Corridor C[edit]
|Lucasville, OH – Columbus, OH
|13.1 mi[2] (21.1 km)
Corridor C is a highway in the U.S. state of Ohio. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, as well as part of U.S. Route 23, running from the north end of Corridor B near Lucasville north to Interstate 270 south of Columbus.[4] As of 2005[update], most of the road is a four-lane divided highway, but there are a few gaps yet to be built.[5] Corridor C is part of the I-73/74 North–South Corridor.
Corridor C-1[edit]
|Jackson, OH – Chillicothe, OH
|9.4 mi[2] (15.1 km)
Corridor C-1 is a connection from Corridor C near Chillicothe southeast to Corridor D near Jackson, Ohio, along U.S. Route 35. It has been completed as a four-lane highway.[5]
Corridor D[edit]
|Mount Carmel, OH – Clarksburg, WV
|232.9 mi[2] (374.8 km)
Corridor D travels east-west from Interstate 285, near Cincinnati, Ohio, to Interstate 79, near Bridgeport, West Virginia. The corridor utilizes Ohio State Route 32 and U.S. Route 50.
Corridor E[edit]
|Morgantown, WV – Hancock, MD
|112.9 mi[7][8][9][10] (182 km)
Interstate 68 (I-68) is a 112.6-mile (181.2 km) Interstate highway in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Maryland, connecting Interstate 79 in Morgantown to Interstate 70 in Hancock. I-68 is also Corridor E of the Appalachian Development Highway System. From 1965 until the freeway's construction was completed in 1991, it was designated as U.S. Route 48 (US 48). In Maryland, the highway is known as the National Freeway, an homage to the historic National Road, which I-68 parallels between Keysers Ridge and Hancock. The freeway mainly spans rural areas, and crosses numerous mountain ridges along its route. A road cut constructed for it through Sideling Hill exposed geological features of the mountain and has become a tourist attraction.
U.S. Route 219 and U.S. Route 220 overlap with I-68 in Garrett County and Cumberland, Maryland, respectively, and U.S. Route 40 overlaps with the freeway from Keysers Ridge to the eastern end of the freeway at Hancock.
The construction of I-68 began in 1965 and lasted for about 25 years, being completed on August 2, 1991. While the road was being built, it was predicted that the completion of the road would improve the economic situation along the corridor. The two largest cities connected by the highway are Morgantown and Cumberland, both with populations of fewer than 30,000 people. Despite the fact that the freeway serves no large metropolitan areas, I-68 provides a major transportation route in western Maryland and northern West Virginia and also provides an alternative to the Pennsylvania Turnpike for westbound traffic from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
There have been several major planned road projects that would affect the freeway's corridor, which, due to major funding issues, are unlikely to be completed. These include a plan to extend I-68 to Moundsville, West Virginia, and the plan to link the Mon–Fayette Expressway, a toll highway which meets I-68 east of Morgantown, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Corridor F[edit]
|Caryville, TN – Whitesburg, KY
|114.8 mi[2] (184.8 km)
Corridor F is a highway in the states of Tennessee and Kentucky. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from Interstate 75 in Caryville, Tennessee, northeasterly to Corridor B (U.S. Highway 23) near Kentucky. Corridor F uses U.S. Highway 25W and Tennessee State Route 63 from I-75 to Corridor S (U.S. Highway 25E) in Harrogate, Tennessee. There it turns northwest along US 25E, passing through the Cumberland Gap Tunnel into Kentucky. It leaves US 25E in Pineville, Kentucky, turning northeasterly along U.S. Highway 119, past an intersection with Corridor I (Kentucky Route 15) in Whitesburg, to its end at Corridor B.
Corridor G[edit]
|Pikeville, KY – Charleston, WV
|105.1 mi[2] (169.1 km)
Corridor G is a highway in Kentucky and West Virginia that follows the route of U.S. Route 119 from Pikeville, Kentucky, to Charleston, West Virginia. Construction on the road began in 1972 in West Virginia and 1974 in Kentucky, but it was more than two decades before the road was completed in either state. The full length of Corridor G in West Virginia was completed in 1997, but Kentucky's last segment was not opened until 2008.
Corridor H[edit]
Corridor I[edit]
Corridor I is a highway in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from Interstate 64 southeasterly along the Mountain Parkway and Kentucky Route 15 to Corridor F (U.S. Highway 119) in Whitesburg. Corridor I meets Corridor R (Mountain Parkway) near Campton and future Interstate 66 (Hal Rogers Parkway and Kentucky Route 80) in Hazard.
Corridor J[edit]
Corridor J is a highway in the states of Tennessee and Kentucky. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from the end of Interstate 24 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, north to Interstate 75 in London, Kentucky.[4]
Corridor J uses U.S. Highway 27 from Chattanooga north to Soddy-Daisy. There it turns northwest on State Route 111, eventually curving to the north via Dunlap, Sparta, and Cookeville to Livingston. Then it turns northwest on State Route 52 to Celina and northeast on State Route 53 to Kentucky.
Upon crossing into Kentucky, Corridor J becomes Kentucky Route 61, heading north to Burkesville. There it turns east on Kentucky Route 90, which it follows to Burnside. Corridor J turns north on U.S. Highway 27 at Burnside, quickly turning northeast on Kentucky Route 914 to bypass downtown Somerset[citation needed] and then east on Kentucky Route 80 to London.
The proposed Interstate 175 would follow Corridor J.
Until late 2005, Corridor J was to turn west just north of Cookeville along the planned State Route 451 to State Route 56 north of Baxter and then use SR 56 and SR 53 via Gainesboro.[11][12]
Corridor K[edit]
Corridor K is a highway in the states of Tennessee and North Carolina. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System and part of U.S. Routes 64 and 74. Corridor K runs from Interstate 75 near Cleveland, Tennessee, northeast of Chattanooga, easterly to Corridor A (U.S. Highway 23) near Sylva, North Carolina.[4]
A short section of the road was finished in 2005. The Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee of the North Carolina General Assembly voted in April 2012 to support the $750 million project, and a study may take up to two years. No date has been determined for the section between northeast Graham County and Robbinsville, North Carolina or the section between Robbinsville and Andrews. Opponents say U.S. 19-74 does not have enough traffic outside of summer weekends to justify the expense. D.J. Gerken of the Southern Environmental Law Center, which supported simpler improvements to existing roads, said the Appalachian Regional Commission had more than $250 million for the project. North Carolina state senator Jim Davis said the road would attract economic development and help emergency vehicles.[13]
Corridor L[edit]
|Beckley, WV – Sutton, WV
|60.5 mi[2] (97.4 km)
Corridor L is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System in the U.S. state of West Virginia. It follows the path of U.S. Route 19 between Beckley and Sutton. By exiting onto Corridor L from Interstate 79 at milepost 57, a southbound traveler can eliminate 40 miles (64 km), and $3.60 in tolls, re-entering the interstate system at the West Virginia Turnpike (Interstate 64 and Interstate 77) at milepost 48.
Originally this corridor was built as a four-lane divided highway for only the half south of U.S. Route 60; however, the large amount of traffic (as part of the direct route from the cities of Toronto, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh to Florida) forced the state to rethink this plan and upgrade the northern half to four lanes as well.[citation needed]
High vehicle accident rates and potential revenues led to strict enforcement of traffic speed limits.
Corridor M[edit]
|New Stanton, PA – Harrisburg, PA
|170.2 mi[2] (273.9 km)
Corridor M extends 200.1 miles (322.0 km) (including 29.9 miles (48.1 km) that are ineligible), with 102.1 miles (164.3 km) completed, from the I-70/I-76 interchange at New Stanton to a junction at I-81 near the Pennsylvania Turnpike at Harrisburg. The estimated cost to complete this corridor is $1.40 billion, including $42 million for prefinanced projects. The remaining work includes the construction of four lanes generally paralleling U.S. Route 22.
Projects currently under way in Pennsylvania include:
- A 1.8-mile (2.9 km) section from SR982 to Auction Barn Road
- A 2.3-mile (3.7 km) section from Auction Barn Road to west of Blairsville
- A 4.2-mile (6.8 km) section from approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of U.S. Route 119N to east of Clyde
- A location study on a 59.8-mile (96.2 km) section to provide four lanes between Hollidaysburg and Lewistown
Corridor N[edit]
Corridor N runs through Maryland and Pennsylvania. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System and is a designated portion of U.S. Route 219, running from Corridor E (Interstate 68/U.S. Route 40) near Grantsville, Maryland, north to Corridor M (U.S. Route 22 near Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. There is currently an attempt in the U.S. House of Representatives to extend this corridor, in the form of House bill H.R.1544 - Corridor N Extension Act of 2011. The act would extend Corridor N north from its current terminus at Corridor M to Corridor T in southwestern New York. The bill has not yet been brought before Congress for debate. Currently (2011), Corridor N has been completed as a controlled-access highway from just north of Ebensburg to Somerset, Pennsylvania, with a small additional portion completed in the form of the Meyersdale bypass. No portion of the route has been improved in Maryland.
Corridor O[edit]
Corridor O is a highway in West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, as well as part of U.S. Route 220, running from Corridor H (U.S. Route 48) to Corridor E (Interstate 68/U.S. Route 40) near Cumberland, Maryland. The route then extends north to Interstate 80 near Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The part north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-70/I-76) near Bedford is also Interstate 99.[citation needed]
Corridor O-1[edit]
Corridor O-1 begins at Corridor O at Port Matilda, Pennsylvania, and runs northwesterly along U.S. Route 322 to Interstate 80 near Clearfield.[citation needed]
Corridor P[edit]
Corridor P is a highway in Pennsylvania. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from near Mackeyville, eastward to Milton.[4]
Corridor P-1[edit]
Corridor P-1 begins at Corridor P in Milton and runs south along U.S. Route 11/U.S. Route 15 to their interchange with U.S. Route 22/U.S. Route 322 north of Harrisburg.[15]
Corridor Q[edit]
|Pikeville, KY – Christiansburg, VA
|163.6 mi[2] (263.3 km)
Corridor Q is a highway in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. It travels from US 23/US 119, near Pikeville, Kentucky, to Interstate 85, in Christiansburg, Virginia. In the 2013 fiscal year, the corridor is 82.2% completed.[2]
Corridor R[edit]
|Campton, KY – Prestonsburg, KY
|50.7 mi[2] (81.6 km)
Corridor R is a highway in Kentucky. It is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, running from Corridor I at the junction of the Mountain Parkway and Kentucky Route 15 near Campton east along the Mountain Parkway and Kentucky Route 114 to Corridor B (US 23/US 460) in Prestonsburg.[4] It forms part of a route from Lexington, Kentucky to Roanoke, Virginia using Interstate 64, Corridor I, Corridor R, Corridor B, Corridor Q, and Interstate 81.[16]
Corridor S[edit]
|Morristown, TN – Harrogate, TN
|48.7 mi[2] (78.4 km)
Corridor S is routed entirely along U.S. Route 25E; from Interstate 81, near Morristown, to SR 63 (Corridor F), in Harrogate. Of the entire 48.7-mile (78.4 km) route is authorized for ADHS funding. In the 2013 fiscal year, 26.5 miles (42.6 km) has been completed, while 22.2 miles (35.7 km) remains to be constructed.[17]
Corridor T[edit]
|Erie, PA – Binghamton, NY
|220.3 mi[2] (354.5 km)
Corridor T runs through the states of New York and Pennsylvania, west of Binghamton, and corresponds to Interstate 86, an upgrade of the existing New York State Route 17. An extension of the U.S. 219 Southern Expressway will also join I-86.
Known as the Southern Tier Expressway and Quickway (split by Interstate 81 at Binghamton, New York), Interstate 86 will connect Interstate 90 near Erie, Pennsylvania, with Interstate 87 (the New York State Thruway) near Harriman, New York. As of August 2008, it runs east from I-90 to New York State Route 352 in Elmira, bringing the total length of highway designated as I-86 to 200 miles (322 km) (and 181 miles (291 km) remaining to be designated).[18] Once completed, I-86 will stretch 388 miles (624 km) across the Southern Tier of New York from I-90 to I-87,[19] shorter than the 460 miles (740 km) along the flatter New York State Thruway to the north.
Several sections of NY 17 are not up to freeway or Interstate Highway standards, and need to be upgraded before I-86 can be designated along its full length. These substandard sections are located near Elmira, Binghamton, and the Catskill Mountains.
I-86 currently travels 6.99 miles (11.25 km)[20] in Pennsylvania and 190 miles (306 km) in New York.[19] Except for a section of about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) that dips into Pennsylvania near Waverly, New York but is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation, the rest of I-86 will be in New York.
Corridor U[edit]
|Williamsport, PA – Elmira, NY
|53.7 mi[2] (86.4 km)
Corridor U begins at Corridor P (U.S. Route 220) near Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and proceeds generally northward through Pennsylvania and New York to Corridor T (Interstate 86) in Elmira, New York. The corridor follows U.S. Route 15 northward from Williamsport to Tioga Junction, where it turns northeastward to follow Pennsylvania Route 328 and New York State Route 328 to Elmira.[4]
Corridor U-1[edit]
|Tioga, PA – Corning, NY
|9.4 mi[2] (15.1 km)
Corridor U-1 is a spur from Corridor U at Tioga, PA, continuing north along U.S. Route 15/Interstate 99 to Corning, NY, where it connects with Corridor T (Interstate 86).
Corridor V[edit]
|Batesville, MS – Kimball, TN
|247.6 mi[2] (398.5 km)
Corridor V is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System. It is located in the states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Its termini are Interstate 55 in Batesville, Mississippi, and Interstate 24 west of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
As of late 2012, the following portions of Corridor V are not completed:
- Between Red Bay, Alabama and Fulton, Mississippi (designated MS 76)
- Relocated US 278/MS 6 between Tupelo and Pontotoc, Mississippi, which is projected to be complete in 2015.
Both sections of highway are currently under design by the Mississippi Department of Transportation, with the portion that will overlap MS 25 already under construction near Fulton.
A widening project is also underway on Alabama State Route 24 between Red Bay and Russellville, as this section of Corridor V was previously reconstructed as an improved two-lane route within divided a four-lane right-of-way.
Corridor V between Batesville and Fulton was also designated as National Highway System High Priority Corridor 42 and a Future Interstate Corridor as part of the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century; originally, Corridor 42 also included an overlap with Corridor X between Fulton and Birmingham, Alabama, but this overlap was removed in subsequent legislation.[21][22] However, the portion of the route between Batesville and Tupelo is only being constructed to four-lane divided highway standards, making Interstate highway designation unlikely in the near future.
Corridor V was also designated as High Priority Corridor 11 in the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995.[23]
Corridor W[edit]
|Greenville, SC – East Flat Rock, NC
|30.4 mi[2] (48.9 km)
Corridor W is routed entirely along U.S. Route 25; from Interstate 85, in Greenville, South Carolina, to Interstate 26, near East Flat Rock, North Carolina. Of the entire 39.4-mile (63.4 km) route, only 30.4-mile (48.9 km) was authorized for ADHS funding. In the 2013 fiscal year, both states completed their sections of Corridor W; South Carolina also became the first state to complete its entire ADHS miles among all 13 Appalachian states.[24][25]
Corridor X[edit]
|Fulton, MS – Birmingham, AL
|104.4 mi[2] (168.0 km)
Corridor X is from Fulton, Mississippi, to Interstate 65, in Birmingham, Alabama.[26]
Corridor X-1[edit]
|Bessemer, AL – Leeds, AL
|65.0 mi[2] (104.6 km)
Corridor X-1 or the Birmingham Northern Beltline is a proposed 65-mile (105 km) northern by-pass route around Birmingham, Alabama. Beginning at Interstate 20/Interstate 59/Interstate 459/U.S. Route 11, south of Bessemer, Alabama, it will travel northwest connecting with Interstate 22, Interstate 65 and Interstate 59, before ending at Interstate 20, near Leeds, Alabama.[26]

New Companion Starts at Christmas!
Well, here's an interesting new spin of Doctor Who Series 7 – the Doctor's new companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, won't be joining the TARDIS until the Christmas special!
Warning: we're updating this page as new information is released.
Fans had previously understood that Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill would be leaving Doctor Who in the next few weeks, leaving several episodes for Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor to travel alone without Amy and Rory. Could this mean an extended run as companion for Alex Kingston's River Song? Or does the Sophia Myles theory still hold water?
Only Steven Moffat knows for sure, but he's too busy – and quite right too – talking about Jenna-Louise Coleman. The following quotes are via the official Doctor Who Twitter feed.
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/statuses/182418699758739456"]
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/statuses/182418057564659712"]
She's going to have to be patient, however, as it seems that the Doctor has plenty of adventuring to do just yet.
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/statuses/182418333663109123"]
Now here's an interesting piece of scheduling information!
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/statuses/182419648883597312"]
At last! We now know that Doctor Who Series 7 is indeed split across 2012 and 2013.
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/statuses/182420692288016384"]
It isn't only the Weeping Angels who are back, either…
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/DWMtweets/statuses/182421032416718849"]
Exciting news all-round – but what do you think?
8 Responses to New Companion Starts at Christmas!
Redesigned Daleks one hopes, with Davros in the thick of it …
Its all good!!!!!!! Very excited!!!!!
"Could this mean an extended run as companion for Alex Kingston's River Song?"
Nope (assuming this bit hasn't been updated yet!) – new companion takes over at ep 6, which is the christmas special, Roranicus Pondicus and the missus leaving at ep 5.
Also – hilarious as it is – you might want to fix the typo in the header of this article. My browser reads "Jew Doctor Who companion.."
Lets hope her introductory story at Christmas is better than some of the previous Christmas specials , which on the whole have been sadly lacking….
And as the Moff has said she will appear in episode 6 we can safely assume that she will there anytime before that…
Remember: The Moff Lies…………
On the header tab for the news story entitled New Companion Starts at Christmas it says "Jew Doctor Who Companion Jenna-Louise Coleman Joins TARDIS at Christmas". I'm seriously offended by this remark, and why would it matter if someone is Jewish or not! I hope that this is an error and it was meant to read "New"instead of "Jew"

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
need to figure out the name of this font asap
Thanks in advancec
This is not a direct type ID, but I am hoping I can get some thoughts on an existing font that has similar properties.
I'm working on an identity project for a local emerging fashion designer and after having done a cursory evaluation of her brand, I'm on the hunt for a font to pair with it. We are going for old Hollywood with a modern and fresh twist. Jessica Hische is one of my design idols and I happened across a book cover she did and the look of it fits perfectly - if only she extrapolated this into a font!
Looks retro
Still very modern and fresh
Very clean
Slightly feminine
Please help my identify this typeface
Can anyone tell me what typeface this is?
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could please help ID the following sans serif font.
The capital 'A' has a look of the NASA font and the rest of the letters have a slight sci-fi feel.
I've attached uppercase and lowercase refs if anyone can help shed some light.
Thanks, Jamie
Chorus Typeface
In music Chorus means a collective effort to sing in unison. Harmony and uniformity are it's key characteristics, the same has been integrated in this typeface. Every letterform has been designed so as to reflect harmony and uniformity when used together to form a letter,
sentence or paragraph.
Available for purchase on:
I'm looking for a good serif for a project with a late 19th century look to it (Alternate Gothic and Clarendon bold are also involved).
I think I'd like to use something like Brunel (http://www.christianschwartz.com/brunel.shtml) or Benton Modern Display (http://www.fontbureau.com/fonts/BentonModernDisplay/).
The former seems to be in limited release and the latter could work but I'd like to know what other similar fonts are out there. I tried to search for information on "English Modern" (Which is what the designer says Brunel is) but I can't find anything.
I know the moderns like Bodoni, Century and Modern No. 20 but I don't think they're right for this.
What do you think?
Saw this the other day and would love to know what the font is. Looks pretty contemporary, but any ideas gratefully received.
Many thanks!
i spent one full day on looking for a font as close as possible to this one. Now i found this site and i really hope someone here might help out.
My best guess is its a modification or mixture of Tenby Seven Light and Eurostile Extended #2.
I designed this wordmark almost 10 years ago. I just heard from the client for the first time in many years and they're wondering what the font is. HELP!
The original of this logo has been lost and I have been tasked with recreating it. Does anyone know what fonts these are?
I have been trying to identify the typestyle of the "t" and "c" in the attached image, but have been unsuccessful. Can anyone help me out?
Much appreciated,
Hello Typophiles!
We are proud to announce that our type LOGOMOTION is now at #26 Hot New Fonts ranking in Myfonts! (And growing)
"LOGOMOTION" by Fernando Díaz: a typeface specially designed for logotypes, but can also be used in headlines, posters & signage. It has many OpenType feature programming, that give a more playful and rhythmic spirit, creating an interesting geometric-sans and script mix.
I've recently been asked to put a brochure together in a similar style to the photo attached.
Any ideas on the fonts used, or anything similar?
Really appreciate your help, this site rocks. !
Hello All,
I have been trying to id this font for a while now and turned up a blank every time.
Do you guys have any clue what it may be. I pulled the image from a sun-strip on a car wind shield so the image is a little distorted but I think its clear enough for you to get the idea.
Thanks for taking the time to have a look at this. Good luck !
Hello Typophiles!

I would appreciate any feedback on this font I am working on.
Thanks typophile!
Can anyone tell me what font is being used in the header/logo here? It's very close to the free font, Ostrich Sans...but it's bolder. Open to suggestions of similar fonts too...client just likes this one.
View Font Here: Breanna Rose.
Looking for something with this overall style.
I'd like to identify this font that is similar to Helvetica Neue Thin but the bowls on the lowercase letters are open.
Can anyone help me with the typeface on "Avalon" in this logo?
I've been searching and can't crack this one.
Please can someone identify this extremely high contrast Didone with rounded terminals on the capital S and G used in the Christie's magazine designed by Spin as can be seen here:
I have included some attachments here too...
Many thanks.
Hi does anyone know any modern English typefaces.I know of Baskerville and Calson but need something more modern for a project.
I know this falls under "modern" faces, and my best guess would be Didot. It would, though, be nice to be confirmed or else find out the correct face.
I was wondering if someone can ID this font that I found in a magazine which I would like to use for my work. It resembles Alba a little bit, but it is not Alba
I have two questions concerning the typeface the upper part of the text, i.e. "NO.357 | L.17", is set in:
1. My best guess is that it is Didot. Am I right?
2. Irrespective of the answer to the first question, what keyword should I be using when searching for typefaces with lines running through the strokes of characters as in this sample? I thought "shaded" would be a good starting point, and it indeed got me some good results. Could you suggest any other keywords that will get me typefaces similar to the one used in the image?

Vodafone New Zealand introduces new top up system for mobile credit
Posted on 6-Apr-2005 22:23.
Filed under:
Vodafone is launching an exclusive new service called HotLink, that allows New Zealand users to top up their Prepay or On Account balance directly from a nominated bank account using their mobile phones.
Initially HotLink will only be available to Vodafone users with a Bank of New Zealand bank account, however, other major banks are expected to be onboard soon.
Vodafone says that 80% of its customers rely on Prepay mobiles. It is estimated that it takes each customer an average of 10 minutes once a month to buy a Prepay recharge card. TheHotLink service will give customers the option to choose to top up their credit anywhere and at any time directly from their mobile, even overseas in Australia, UK and Spain.
Vodafone Head of mCommerce, Hamish Sansom says these statistics confirm the need for an innovative solution which will help save time and provide greater convenience for mobile users everywhere.
"Not only can you top up your own mobile credit, you can use HotLink to top up someone else's. That means parents can give credit instead of cash to kids, and friends short of cash can top up a mate when borrowing a few dollars," said Hamish Sansom.
Customers can register to use HotLink by completing a simple and secure 10 second process at a Bank of New Zealand ATM. The new technology allows customers to access their personal bank account by typing their debit card PIN into the mobile and selecting up to NZ$200 in credit per day. When the transaction is complete a text message is sent for confirmation.
As part of the launch of its new service, Vodafone New Zealand is offering until the end of May to Vodafone users who register for HotLink special First Time Rewards the first time they top up or pay their On Account. If a user tops up someone else's account with a minimum of NZ$20 using HotLink then he/she will receive 10 free text messages per top up.

I am starting my sketch book on conceptart.org. As I am still a beginner, I would like to receive many suggestions and criticism as possible. I have decided to do this illustration some time ago, while watching some old horror movies. Behind the box, there were a picture of the original movie poster, which I have used as a reference. Thus, I added some details as the scars and putrid marks in the face. Also, I choose not giving so much details on his clothes.
To start it, I am posting an image I made some time ago just to trainning the use of graphite, and to use as a bassis to paint it digitally.

Nice start man!
I love the skin on that one. Looks oily and unhealthy.
Post some more stuff!
Well, judging by your single post I'd say you have a pretty good grasp on tones and such. As anyone else would say though if you want to improve on your skills and what not, just practice and draw a lot from life. It's kind of tough to say if there's anything that you need to work on, you should post some more of your work, some of your rough sketches and drafts. Then more could be offered in terms of advice and all. From your first post though, I'd say it's pretty damn good though. Keep it up.

Great work! I can't see any major problems you have. You are really improving with your rendering. Practise more and more and try to do more drawings from memory because when you get it right by yourself it sticks with you.
Oren90 and Jordan85,
Thanks a lot for your visit and comments... I will try to update here ASAP... I hope to see you both again
like it very good inks : )
but a little tip start focusing on the anomaly a bit
i'm not saying u have it wrong but push it .just play with it
the only thing i like about my school is the anatomy class its the real practical knowledge that u get there .art is mainly intuitive not many rules but anatomy is one of them so star loving it
just keep up the good work
Thanks for the comments on my work! Just a few on yours if you like constructive criticism. I think the drawing of Jesus and Mary is pretty good...what size and how long did it take you? If you are going for realism in your drawings then you cant miss any detail. Aside from the ones outside your skill level but even then try to do side thumbnail sketches to get it down before comitting to your piece. Try to push the darks and lights a little more...I continually struggle with that but my latest piece shows how I have been progressing. Use charcoal on really dark areas. The inks are nice but again they seem to be flat. Keep pushing it and lets see more work. Ill post more of mine soon.
Hello curvestudios,
About the piece of Pieta and Jesus, I took about 9 hours to do that in a A3 size paper. I used a picture as reference, and I choose to not make a perfect copy of the statue. Because of it, I changed the facial expression of Mary and I let an aura surrounding Jesus head, but as the picture I took from the drawing was too dark, I manipulated it in Photoshop and some of these details were lost. Anyway... I like realism paiting, and as you said, I lost some details because a little bit of impatience.
Regarding to the ink works, some time ago, I noticed that the faces were flat... thus... I am doing some studies about it, but it is not in my SB...
I keep updating here, I hope you continue visiting my SB and give your constructive cristicisms.... thanks a lot
very cool work my friend.keep the best
thanks for visit
Hello all, I have not updated it for a long time.
I would like to share with you some exercises I am doing. The images below are drawings I have made between 2 and 3 minutes. To do it, I used magazine pictures and comic books. For the last image, I made the same exercise while I was in a hospital some days ago, from this day, I have more pictures, but today, just this, with the babies is available, I intend to post more in next days.
Construtive crits are always needed and I appreciate it a lot.
maosume, thanks for your visit and comments.
Sean, I sent you a message, did you got it?
You art on art 3000 looks finished. Is this a second place to put your art.
Hello AChipps,
thanks for the visit....
the other site is just for finished works. Here, I use to improve my skills with opinion from other artists... It is being very usefull to me.
best regards
Wow, I'm glad I stopped by here, hope you will be putting up some more work soon.
Hello Stareater, thanks a lot for your visit and comments...
I am posting some recent images from my SB.
I would like to hear your crits and suggets...
see you
Nice stuff so far but I think some life studies would definitely be of help.

Super heroes are sweet! I'm in love with your Pieta piece. It's phenomenal!
Hello wodeen mango and Jclark333,
Thanks a lot for your visit and comments, I will be for your return as soon as I updated here....
see you
You have a really good sketchbook here. Your sketches are really good and inspire me to do more work in pencil.
I also took a look at your webpage and it seems we are both big fans of Alex Ross' works.
Keep up the good work.

TEAMS: New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers
With the epic fail of the "Ocho Cinco experiment" I feel some fans had a preconceived notion about the signing of Brandon Lloyd. Lloyd has been criticized for his performance this year and even thought of as a bust. I think this is malarkey and that Lloyd did everything we needed him to do and more. Can we give the man a little love? Brandon Lloyd has been a favorite player of Josh McDaniels dating back to the days when McDaniels was the head coach in Denver. Lloyd followed McDaniels to St. Louis when McDaniels took over the offensive coordinator position for a year and performed average which was to be expected in St. Louis (no offense). In some ways I don't really know what Patriots fans expect from people like Brandon Lloyd. If fans are looking for another Randy Moss they should have examined both players skill set and realized that both Lloyd and Ocho Cinco are different players than Moss. Moss is an absolute freak of nature that can spread defenses out with sheer speed and...

Interest Rates: Storm Over?by Tim Manni
According to the latest issue of HSH's Market Trends Newsletter, "Interest Rates: Storm Over?," the 10-year Treasury's downshift on Friday served to, in the least, delay the rising trend in interest rates.
"After rising for several weeks, the storm for mortgage rates may be abating. With an intra-day runup which saw its yield above 4% for a time, the mortgage-influential 10-year Treasury downshifted to 3.79% by late Friday, shedding more than 20 basis points (0.20%) off the week's peak. That may not presage a huge fall in mortgage interest rates, but should be sufficient to stop and at least partially reverse the upward trend."
"The strong flare in rates — attributed to a number of concerns, from inflation potential, undisciplined fiscal policy, and a moderating recession — serve as a reminder that even in this great period of government intrusion, private markets still retain considerable power."
"For this week, HSH's overall measure of the cost of mortgage credit — our Fixed-Rate Mortgage Indicator (FRMI), inclusive of conforming, jumbo and "high-limit" conforming data — moved 22 basis point higher to land at 6.04%, the highest such reading since November 28, 2008, the week when the Federal Reserve first began its programs to manipulate mortgage rates. For 5/1 Hybrid ARMs, the overall average moved 20 basis point upward, finishing the survey week at 5.44%."
"Conforming and FHA-backed loans make up the majority of the marketplace. For those, the increase this week was 29 and 36 basis points respectively, with a zero-point 30-year Conforming loan averaging 5.80%."
Click here to continue reading "Interest Rates: Storm Over?" HSH's free weekly Market Trends Newsletter, an in-depth analysis of various financial markets of the week prior, is published every Monday. Email subscribers receive it in your inbox by Friday night, so sign up today! Also, be sure to check in with our Market Trends blog for all news relating to any weekly shift in mortgage rates."

Dear Pharmacist: I am suffering with Sjogren's syndrome, it makes my skin, eyes and mouth so terribly dry. Even sex is painful. Do you have any suggestions that may work for me? — P.W., Santa Rosa
A: Sjogren's syndrome, or "SS," mainly affects women and occurs, in part, when white blood cells attack the moisture-producing glands. Think dry-dry eyes and mouth, vaginal dryness, dry skin, joint pain; persistent cough or harm to the kidneys, lungs, liver or GI tract can occur. Temporary relief comes from running humidifiers, taking medicine or using natural herbs. Prescriptions of either "pilocarpine" or Evoxac may help dry eyes/mouth, as can inexpensive "artificial tear" eye drops. Immunosuppressant drugs calm a hyperactive immune system, in an attempt to balance a see-saw immune system that is severely tilted.

Rumors: iPhone 6 release in 2013?
"Apple iPhone 6 to get 4.8 inch display", or so say many of the rumors which are currently doing the rounds in the technical press. It is even said that Apple has already produced prototypes to this specification which is similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy S III.
If like us, you use your iPhone for a little gaming at an online casino, then it is also likely that you find the screen just a little on the small size. No doubt we are being spoiled a little by the giant screens that are appearing on the latest generations of Android phones, but when we see someone playing casino games at Belle Rock Entertainment on one of those Android monsters, we iPhone users can feel just a little inadequate. It is true that the iPhone display is brighter and clearer than those Android monsters especially in bright sunlight, but there is little doubt that extra inch could make all the difference, particularly when playing certain casino games, and in particular online poker.
We are not suggesting for one moment that Apple should follow those Android boys in terms of display technology, but that Apple should make the current Retina display just a little larger. The rumours are that Apple is looking at what is being called a Retina plus display which uses IGZO technology. For the technically minded, IGZO stands for indium gallium zinc oxide and electrons can move forty times as fast in it than they can in amorphous silicon which is currently used in iPhone displays. Faster electrons mean smaller pixels and they mean better resolution and faster display refresh speeds; all the better for gaming.
So are the rumours correct? It is likely that Apple is moving in that direction, but it might not appear in the iPhone 6; we may have to wait for the iPhone 7. Then of course, there's the iPhone 10!

Art and Art History 398. Experimental Courses
The Art of Collecting
From the cabinets of curiosities known as Wunderkammern to Renaissance studioli to contemporary museums, the human compulsion to collect has shaped traditions of knowledge and possession for centuries. An inherent aspect of the activity of collecting objects and memories is the relationship formed between the objects, the collector, and his/her chosen or accidental audience. This course explores the history of collecting, its ideologies and theoretical groundings by focusing on case studies that illustrate various moments at which practices of collection and exhibition have coalesced into coherent or chaotic visual displays of our world and the wonders within it.
Critical readings of texts, original research, and engaged participation will be emphasized throughout the course.
Energy and Culture
Oil seeps into our everyday lives, shaping countless dimensions of our modern material and social worlds from imaging technologies to modern transportation to industrial agriculture and beyond. Oil has been called "black gold" by some and labeled "the devil's excrement" by others as its powerful properties have also brought about the rise and demise of numerous governments, the toxification of environments, and exploitation of native and migrant labor in oil-producing countries. And yet oil itself has been kept largely invisible from our everyday lives, rarely entering the visual field.
For decades, prevalent scholarship has concentrated on a narrow framing of oil as rent, or money, and provided top-down analyses of economic and political corruption in oil-producing states. However, this seminar will engage an emerging body of recent literature that reframes oil in terms of culture and seeks historically-grounded understanding of the social and spatial dimensions of the petroleum industry. Further, this seminar will explore the ways in which architects, painters, sculptures, photographers, filmmakers, and activists in producing countries have rendered oil and its effects on society, geopolitics, and the environment visible through significant spatial and visual interventions.

what the critics say
Andy Lynes - 5/5
Zoe Williams - 4/5
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
I found the service to be very friendly and efficient. However, the food was extremely disappointing, definitely a case of style over substance. The hen's egg was delicious and would have been a lovely amuse bouche. The braised halibut was pretty bland, swimming in a cream sauce. The Iberian pork had been initially cooked in a water bath (sous vide) but was tough and it's only saving grace was the nice smokey taste. It was served with turnip tips which were very stringy and undercooked so difficult to chew, and flavoured with apple cider vinegar which I found to be slightly too acidic. The chocolate brioche was nice but served with a barley malt ice cream which was unpleasant. All in all, I did not feel I had one decent course and felt cheated having spent £119 for two with only one glass of wine. Dabbous reminded me of Hedone in Chiswick which also received rave reviews but fails to deliver a satisfying meal.

Interesting that the recent reviews for this restaurant are a lot worse than the original ones. We went this week and were incredibly disappointed. Booked a table for 4 for 8.30pm - finally seated at 9.50pm - can only assume that some VIP came in and wanted a table. Front of house service was inept, Somelier not great (recommended a "crisp" Sauternes that was anything but) and food a mixed bag. Haddock and Pork very good but desserts (my favourite bit) very disappointing.
We will not be going back and would strongly encourage others not to bother.

really great food. tasting menu is very interesting and cleverly done
very disappointing service, waitstaff clearly not briefed on the content of dishes or how to serve wine correctly. poor cocktails
hostess chewing gum all night and playing with her hair looking bored
for the price charged it was very bad value for money
Even worse was the very poor follow up service when I emailed to give some feedback - not even as much as an acknowledgement of my email.
The owners obviously think being booked out forever will keep their reputation intact.
Sort it out please!

I found Dabbous to be a little disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high but for a restaurant that is fully booked until Sep 2013 you do expect something a little more than an above average dinner.
We had the tasting menu with accompanying wine. The food was interesting and very well presented but the taste didn't match. Most of the times we were not told which wines we were drinking as some random waiter would just pour us a glass. Often the wine would come quicker than the food and we ended up with 4 different glasses of wine in front of us not knowing which went for which dish ...that was until the dessert where they forgot our dessert wine and we had to remind them.
On a positive note, the bar downstairs serves some of the best drinks i have ever tasted and i would be happy to come back for more of those but i wont be eating at Dabbous again.

not really a place that needs another good review but if you manage to get in it is quite obvious as to why there are no available reservations until spring 2013 .
it really is exceptional and sadly very small ( 40 covers i think ) .
The hens egg and BBQ iberico pork were stand out dishes for me , the service faultless and friendly ( from a very young team ) , the wine list reasonable and the bar is fantastically well stocked with premium spirits .
It isn't quite as cheap as it looks as you do end up ordering a few dishes but for the quality I haven't found anywhere better value in London .
AA Gill was right to give it 5 stars .

Fabulous food served by very young, friendly knowledgeable staff. I particularly liked the sommelier, though I was concerned about how he kept up with all his schoolwork AND know so much about wine. At £49 for the tasting menu, sans frou-frou between course thingies, I thought it was good value for the standard of fare on offer. Wasn't too sure about the alliums course and the iced lovage I could take or leave, but the halibut, the iberico pork, the pea and mint - all so, so good.
They also very sweetly picked up on my birthday/Dabbous tweet and brought me Champagne and a birthday cream cake at the end of the meal.
Is it worth being booked up months and months ahead? Possibly not. But it is very, very good indeed.

How much you enjoy this restaurant will very much depend on what you expect from it before going in, and how much you're willing to spend. Let me explain...
I'd heard from a couple of people, and a few reviews that Dabbous was incredibly good value for money. Indeed from looking at the menus, you'd conclude this was probably the case with starters around £6 and mains around £14; however what isn't so obvious is that they generally recommend "4-7 dishes each" -That means 3 or 4 starters and 2 or 3 mains, or £100+ per person on food alone - For us, what was intended to be a nice night out with friends, turned in to a serious budget buster!. So that's the bad news - Set your budget expectations to high!
The number of dishes also reflects the size of them - Make no mistake, this is designer cuisine - Now I wasn't being entirely naive food-wise, and have been to places like Viajante, and knew of Texture, but was expecting something a little more like North Road than either of these (ok, maybe that was naive). The food was for the most part really very good - The asparagus was firm and tender, the beef tartar succulent, and the hen's egg absolutely incredible. Likewise the potatoes were superb - For me what was less good was the Squid, the sauce for which was a tad too fishy for my tastes, and lamb main, which was a thin rubbery sliver of lamb belly; the texture of which (ironically) was entirely unappetising. The other main of Iberico Pork was really very good, and was the one i'd been most looking forward to - It's rare to eat pork pink, but apparently it's perfectly OK,and this was superb! My partner's Halibut was apparently also very good. As for the desserts, i'm not sure we should have bothered - Iced Loveage tastes like Celery sorbet (yuck!), and chocolate with basil and Dill is really quite vile.
Finally, I guess service and ambience - Well it's a bit like being in a concrete bunker above ground, in Shoreditch - Extend the metaphor to the service and you're there.. Nice, friendly, and efficient, but somewhat affected..
Apparently they're booked for dinner now till August - Personally it's style above substance at a price point that's hard to justify in this economy, and i'd be surprised if they see out the end of the year - I don't wish failure upon any business, but I can't this is sustainable - still, the London market is remarkably resilient, especially when it comes to pretentious, expensive food!

It was my wife's birthday treat. Originally we were going to have the set lunch at Texture restaurant - (it got very positive reviews various websites - and the food sounded intriguing)
However, after reading recent rave reviews about Dabbous in the Evening Standard - we changed our reservation. Add to this, the fact that the main man, Oli Dabbous, used to work at Texture - it all seemed to fit into place perfectly.
The most important factor however was the set lunch had a more interesting mix of dishes.
Dabbous is very understated, chilled out and relaxed - bare pipes, bare walls, lots of metal on show. However - it is still cozy in a stylish, �industrial �way. ALL the staff were very amiable, helpful and charming. The dining area is small enough to feel personal too. Service was friendly and never overbearing. There�s also a good basement bar too serving some unusual cocktails. Add to this a reasonably priced wine list. Fitzrovia is a interesting part of London. Its easily accessible by car, and you can park there for free after 6.30pm. - Sorted.
At £24 each - the four course set lunch is good value. No amuse bouche or pre-desserts � just four courses.
First up - warm tasty, sourdough bread with hazelnuts and homemade butter, olives � unusually served in a dated-stamped paper bag. Great! It got our tastebuds going.
You get a choice of 2 dishes per course. My wife and I ordered all eight - and shared everything.
Course One � Fennel salad with picked rose petals OR Beef Tartare � Both great. (the tartare is infused with cigar oil )
Course Two � Monkfish Cheeks (love the artichokes served with this) OR Veal Cheeks with Spelt in a broth � both fantastic.
Course Three � Poached Salmon in buttermilk broth (one of the best salmon dishes I�ve had) OR Pork Belly on a bed of
savoury acorn praline with turnip tops and apple vinegar. (Best dish of the meal � absolutely loved it � the acorns tasted like peanuts � the dish just melted in your mouth.) I could eat two of these.
Course Four � Barley flour sponge soaked in red tea with vanilla cream or a selection of four cheeses served with baked apple and walnut toast. (Again � thumbs up all round)
The portions aren�t huge � but they never are at these sort of restaurants.
My only criticism would be, shame about the £5 supplement on the cheese course � if in doubt, incorporate another dessert without the additional payment. Anyhow � all 4 cheeses were very good � so we were happy enough.
We�ve been to lots of Michelin star restaurants for a set lunches � this was as good - and in many cases BETTER than most. At this rate it�s only a question of time before Dabbous gets its own Michelin star.
Whether or not Dabbous want�s the extra pressure that comes with a Michelin star - I don�t know, they might have to learn to deal with it � its only been open 2 weeks and so far, its thumbs all round.
Before we left, we booked-up another meal for my birthday in May � next time round we�ll be having the evening Tasting Menu. We don�t consider ourselves experts, just enthusiastic foodies who enjoy a good meal out.
We think Dabbous ROCKS and really liked it . Can�t wait to return.
