Welcome back to the world of "Top Chef" — that strange and mythical place where bacon turns into foam and 300 Washington yuppies can be conjured up with the snap of fingers.
A lot has happened since we bid our goodbyes to the last TC crew in December:
And so it begins.
We meet our new crew of bacon-foaming aspirants on a Washington rooftop. (The National Gallery of Art, I think, but don't hold me to this.) There is a lovely buffet table set up with raw ingredients. We meet our 17 newbies, too numerous to even bother catching all their names. A few standouts:
So, with D.C. monuments in the background, T.C.'s elected officials — Tom and Padma — made a grand entrance and immediately start them on the:
QUICKFIRE CHALLENGE: Mise en place
Our happy 17 must show their skills at mise en place, or getting all their choppables chopped. Peel 10 potatoes, brunoise (fine dice) 10 cups of onions and cut up four chickens. Then, make some sort of potato, chicken, onion business. Winner gets 20 grand. Go!
Kenny proves himself to be a machine. With his hands flying like Michelangelo to marble, he piles perfectly peeled potatoes by his station, and then he's on to onions. O my God! He's going to lose a finger if he chops this fast, but no. And then the chickens, which he can will into their constituent pieces with merely a look in his eyes.
Angelo, who comes in second, is not happy at all. He is the mise en place champ, not this cretin to claims to have eaten at Louis XV. If it's any consolation, Angelo makes the chicken-onion-potato business that the judges deem yummiest of all.
Time's a wastin', so Tom announces the:
ELIMINATION CHALLENGE: Make a dish that represents where you come from
There will be an event. In some grand Washington space with pillars. And hundreds of yuppies will descend on your nibbles like vultures. You know the drill. Whole Foods!
Soon we're careening through a new Whole Foods Market, and so and so — that jackal — buys up all the fish. And, ooh, this maple syrup looks good. I come from maple country. And — action shot! — a flustered cheftestant pushes his cart too quickly through an aisle and bumps into a display of organic quinoa crisps.
The chefs decamp to TC kitchen and do their thing. Jacqueline is not at all happy with the way her low-fat Upstate New York chicken liver mousse is coming out. Tracey makes shrimp and grits. John thoughtfully pours three bottles of maple syrup onto his head and says, "Wow, this feels like I'm back in Michigan."
They go to the big, fancy hall — Jacqueline toting her bucket of grainy offal sludge and vowing to pull it off.
No one is ready, yet here they come: the army of mean yuppies. Also Tom, Padma, Gail Simmons and new judge Eric Ripert, the Le Berdardin chef. May we have some of your little plates of whozis-whatzis?
So, as expected, Jacqueline's liver paste is vile. Tracey's shrimp with maple-cheddar grits is meh. John's maple mousse hair extensions are soggy and weird. Angelo hits it out of the park with his arctic char with pickled shallots, chilled tapioca, dill and bacon froth.
Angelo wins the two-fer. John gets sent packing. Tom tells him, "I think you're a much better chef than what you showed us here today."
I was very sorry to see John go. He might have made the show interesting.

Here's the weirdest part, John. Did you end the super-long "Coming up this season on Top Chef" at the end of the episode? (You know instead of "next week on Top Chef"). I realized about 3/4 of the way through they show 5 chefs at NASA. I had to rewind it back to double-check. That HAD to be the 5 finalists. Seriously. Unless they divided the chefs up in teams of 5 and sent them to different places, which is highly unlikely. I won't spoil if it is, but needless to say only one of 'em isn't a "shocker".

@Kenbud – well you know they always bring back eliminated chefs to assist towards the finale, so maybe that was a bit of misdirection?
It seems to me that each year, with each season, more and more "cocky" chefs are showing up as contestants. I can't count the times last night I rolled my eyes at "I was this … " or "I am the best at this … " or "Really? You didn't like MY food?".
I miss the days of the token bad-guy (Steven or Marcel). Everyone else needs to head over to the walk-in and chill.
As for my faves, well – Angelo seems quite talented. I'm hoping Lynne does well. And I'm totally down for the home-town win from Tracey. But it's too early for me to pick a true favorite.
Did anyone else think Padma's stretchy-pants-white-vesty getup on the rooftop was just a bit unflattering???
June 17th, 2010

I rooted for Richard Blais. I rooted for Kevin Gillespie. I will not root for Tracey. What a mouthy little b****. The sooner she's eliminated, the better. No need for ugly (and I mean that in personality, not looks, though…) people to represent Atlanta.

as usual, Atlanta stands no chance.
June 17th, 2010

Tracey just comes across as a miserable vallinaesque malcontent. Are we running out of talented chefs from Atlanta? Shrimp and grits? Really?
But I'm glad she represents the lesbian chef contingent because, you know, they've been so under represented on Top Chef.

Kelly Liken is a real Coloradan and may do well. But, Kenny? Not so much.
Kenny may list Telluride, Colorado as his home but he's from Ohio. He has, as far as I know, no restaurants in Telluride and since I just spent 10 days there, I'm pretty certain Kenny's Colorado roots are in where he chooses to live. That makes Kenny pretty smart, because that's a lovely little patch of the planet. I'll be rooting for him and Chef Derry who is an executive chef in Dallas after getting a start in an IHOP in Beaumont, TX about 10 years ago. Talk about a metoric rise from the waffle iron.

Funny comments! I know John – the chef from Michigan – and we were all shocked to see they let him go. He is a fantastic chef and, you were right, he would have made the show super interesting! Still, I'm going to stay tuned. It won't be the same without John, though:(
June 17th, 2010

"Angelo, a New York hotsot…." Oh, the images that conjures up.
John from Michigan's departure is a real loss. On many levels.

@Rodney …. There were 5 chefs, standing in a row … at NASA. (that's all I'll say, as not to spoil), so unless they divided the teams up by 5 and sent them to different venues (possible, but weird) … I seriously think they showed some major spoilage.

And Padma Laskhmi. Ahh, Padma. She's been a very busy omnivore. First, she had a baby. Then, thanks to a new sponsorship deal with Lipton, she joined the Tea Party and was promptly swept into public office as the representative from the 3rd congressional district in West Virginia. Because of her busy legislative schedule, the entire "Top Chef" operation has decamped to Washington, D.C. —- WHERE DID YOU FIND YOUR FACTS ON THIS…SHE IS NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL,,IF YOU GOOGLE HER…NOTHING TO THAT EFFECT COMES UP…ID LIKE TO KNOW WHERE YOU GET YOUR FACTS

@ Amy Halpern, you sounded like a housewife zonked out on diet pills the first time you posted, the second time you just sounded like a stupid bitch…………….. It's called humor IE: reading moronic comments by you requires a sense of humor.
Regarding Tracy: I have it from an extremely good source that she doesn't make it too far, nor should she……..When she said "I was disappointed with the lack of Lesbian representation" I was done with her.

Boring. What a lackluster season so far. These chefs all come off as third rate Applebee's cooks. I'm not even sure I trust the JB nominees.
June 18th, 2010

I can't believe that someone researched whether Padma was a representative from WV. Thank you Amy for giving me a huge laugh. Dumb people make me laugh. Bet you wish there was a "Delete my comment" button on here.
To ATLien – One episode does not make or break a season. Saying, "what a lackluster season SO FAR" makes it seem like we're 4 episodes in.

Thought John's dish was pretty lame compared to the others, but I'd rather see him on the show than some of the others. And I'd rather eat his dish than that awful looking chicken liver mousse. Tracey reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell – on a bad day.

Why do they insist on putting these poor cooks on hot roofs to perform and sweat in their sauces — gross.

Who's eaten at table 1280? I have and Tracy is an amazing and considerate chef. I have some weird food allergies and when the waiter couldn't answer all my questions (after 2 trips to the kitchen), she came to our table, found out what I couldn't eat, and then made me a special, off-menu meal. Plus my 2 friends visiting from Ohio who are Major Foodies, thought theirs (from the regular menu) was an incredible meal. I am a little dismayed by how she is coming off on the show…not the same personality that I saw that night.
June 27th, 2010
11:41 am
I missed the original airing of the premiere and didn't want to believe the comments about Tracey. Today is a repeat on Bravo and I saddened by her attitude and comments. I am a local and embarrassed by her poor sportsmanship. Come on, Tracey! This is the South – we are able to achieve great success with out all that nonsense.

I too, used to LOVE Top Chef. I'm still watching thanks to the miracle of the DVR, but it's not like it used to be. I'm sick of the over-the-top smiling and head-nodding that goes on when Padma is talking about the next challenge where they'll have $3.75 and four minutes to make a gourmet meal out of Cap'n Crunch and a hard boiled egg. They're all so misty-eyed and enthusiastic about it, when you know damn well they want to furrow their brow and go "What the f*** Padma???"
I've done reality TV before so I understand the concept of the camera flattening you out so you do have to bump your energy level a bit. And I get that they don't want the peeps being Debbie Downers on camera, but jeez the contrived "I'm-just-all-a-quiver" excitement over the stupidest stuff is just getting OLD.
Damn I'm cranky today aren't I?

My 2011 Doctor Who Painting
As the days are quickly counting down to C2E2 (I will be at table M7 in Artist Alley), I knew I needed to get my Doctor Who painting done. Every year, I try to bring something new for my Chicago Who fans. So this year's piece is based on Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. It features the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, and his companions (and a crack) I hope people enjoy it! The second Mona Lisa has been put aside for now, I had other projects that needed my attention, I expect to get back to it at some point soon.
In other news, I started my new column on Comic Related called Fan2Pro. It is my down and dirty guide to breaking into the comic business, and how to make it a career. Check out the first article here and keep an eye out for more soon!
Oh, and if you are a fan who would like to wear one of my masterpieces on a t-shirt, you are in luck! Check out what I have for sale here on the website!
I have 2 paintings on the docket right now, one will be a parody of a painting that is adaptation of a comic panel based on a Lichtenstein. And the other a bigger version of my Girl with a Pearl Earring parody…the winner of the #1 fan contest commissioned me to paint a large one.

In many ways Jimmy T life has been like a train. Chugging down the tracks of life and occasionally derailing.
"I was getting into oxycodone, the cocaine, the pot," said Jimmy T. Thurston.
Tales of a now clean rock n' roller with a heavy dose of country.
"All right here's our single called "Who Put The Mojo in the Hoodoo Stew". said the singer.
And Jimmy T Thurston is no stranger to the stage. The Waterbury Center native is a man of style and flair, always with a cowboy hat and a handkerchief on the side.
"When your performing on stage, you get pretty sweaty," commented Thurston.
The 71 year old has been on stage since he was 8.
"You were moving your hips even the one you replaced! I know I had hip replacement, but you know what, when you're doing what you love, which I love music very dearly, it doesn't bother you," he said.
Jimmy T. writes about his life and in his new CD called "Welcome To My Country".
It was 1981 in Nashville, Tennessee and Jimmy T's band, the Ripp Van Winkle and the Sleepy Hollow Boys came in 3rd in the battle of the bands out of 1,500 bands. Back then he dyed his brown beard gray, wore spandex and he was about to have something else, a major record deal. His manager wanted more money from the record label. In the end the record company said no deal.
"It takes so long to get there and puff, it's gone," reflected Thurston.
Now 30 years later and his beard is truly white. Something else, he is honest about, his country roots.
"You tell my wife and kids I said don't cry...yeeee haaaa!" said Thurston.
Jimmy T is also a newlywed.
"You must be an optimists if you keep getting married! They say three times the charm, I believe it is this time!" commented Thurston.
He married Dawn Marie in June, he says she is the reason his life is in harmony.
"I wanted my drug to be my music....That give me my high that's there's nothing else that can touch it, ever!" he said.
Jimmy T isn't the only one in the family that loves the stage. His son Jamie Lee Thurston is a country singer in Nashville.

Reasonable but basicPosted Feb 10, 2014 on Hotels.com
The room was functional but small, the breakfast was adequate but limited selection, and the same day after day. Clean hotel, nice staff, interesting internal architecture.

A great findPosted Nov 25, 2013 on Hotels.com
I chose this hotel based on its proximity to the train station (Gare Matabiu). I had just dropped off my rental car and was leaving the next morning on the TGV for Paris. It was perfect. It's an old hotel with a history apparently dating back to the 1800s. But the staff was very welcoming and the room small but comfortable and clean - typical for hotels of this class and price range. I wanted to keep my costs down this trip so I had no problem. And breakfast was superb with again very friendly staff and a nice selection of fruit, meats, cheeses, breads, etc. It was a nice and quick way to start the day and my journey. I'll stay here again.

Handy, but poor areaPosted Sep 23, 2012 on Hotels.com
Basically OK, but the surrounds are down market, and the pavements outside the hotel are filthy - mind where you walk. Replacing items at breakfast is a little iffy, but overall, not bad. Very convenient for airport navette and main rail station

Near Train StationPosted Sep 18, 2012 on Hotels.com
Hotel emitted typical European charm. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location near the train station and walking distance to all the sites. Neighborhood a little edgy but the local turkish restaurants were really good.

Central location, not great neighbourhoodPosted Sep 13, 2012 on Hotels.com
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and once in, the hotel is up to standard. However neighbourhood is in the red light district, which was safe but not the most pleasant. Central location and main train/ metro station meant everything was very asscessible.

A Gem in a Sketchy NeighborhoodPosted Jul 18, 2012 on Hotels.com
The hotel itself was just great, especially for the price. Room was very comfortable and quiet with amenities -- A/C, hair dryer, a safe, luggage rack, comfortable desk chair, roomy bathroom. The neighborhood is filled with people, mostly men, drinking all the day long, and it smells like urine. The street at night seems to be used for excrement as well. Toulouse's solution seems to be to send out the street washers and garbage collectors every morning before 6 AM, which certainly helps, but... I will say I did not feel unsafe, the characters seemed pretty harmless, and most of them were gone by 9 PM or so, so walking back to the hotel at night was not an issue. The street one block over was just fine for walking in and out of the downtown, which was a 10-15 minute walk. The hotel restaurant was quite good, and there's a great enclosed patio on the ground floor as well as an open reading room on the first floor. I enjoyed the stay.

Today after the heart breaking loss to the Rangers, the mariners release Eric Byrns. He is hitting below .100 and has made too many errors late in games. The mariners also sent down Tui. These moves may help the mariners. But it has been a while sense their last homerun. This pitching staff is great, now with Doug Fister pitching like an All Star this staff is the best in the league.
Eric Bedard threw a bullpen today. It sounds like his debut is not far off. When the addition of Bedard comes the mariners will have the ability to shut great hitting teams down every game. All that is needed now is a steady line up. We are missing the bat that makes everyone else in the order get pitched to better. Pitchers are just going after Ichiro, Figgins, and Guti. There needs to be a guy on deck that will scare the opposing pitcher.

Cliff Lee will have his first start tomarrow as a mariner. It feels like opening day again. This homestand will be important to see how good the mariners can be this year. They play much better teams then they have. The Rays are hot, and Texas comes to town tomarrow.

Thee excitement is back in the air for HUSKY FOOTBALL. In front of a big crowd the dawgs will have their spring game. Come early, wear puple, root for the dawgs!!!
Posted by SeattleFan123 at 10:58 PM No comments:
Many people said that for the mariners to do well this season they need to make it to .500 until Cliff Lee comes back. Well he is back, and now this team looks much better. We will be a better road team because of our experience on the mound. Cliff Lee will make Felix better too, they will be competing against each other for better starts.
It is now very important to get the offense going. Now that we will have two aces going our offense doesn't need to be as good. But everytime Cliff or Feliz take the mound the team needs four runs.

Photo Caption: Budapest 1931
"My family lived in a third floor apartment, in Budapest, that faced out on a busy street (now called Lenin Boulevard). It was an exciting street—colorful, crowded, noisy. There were many shops—a glamorous hardware store displaying shiny knives behind its huge plate glass front, several bookstores with books of many colors piled and strewn around, coffee houses with grouchily servile waiters carrying white napkins on their black left sleeves, and stores full of toys and candy and crutches and clothes and shoes and watches. The sidewalk was broad, and milling, crowds of people separated the shop windows from teh curb-side trees and scales (your weight for a penny) and newspaper kiosks and taxi stands. The crowds seemed always to be there—they were there when went to school early in the morning and they were there on the rare occasions when I was brought home late at night from an excursion or from a movie. Later, when I grew up, went to Hungary as an American tourist, and was out real late at night, the crowds were still there. The lights were bright and gypsy music could be heard from the coffee houses." —Paul R. Halmos, I Want to Be a Mathematician…

Paul R. Halmos (1916-2006) was a major figure in twentieth century mathematics known for his work in operator theory, ergodic theory, and functional analysis, as well as for mathematical exposition and teaching. He was also an avid amateur photographer and routinely documented the people in his life, including some of the world's most notable mathematicians.
Halmos took over 10,000 photographs during his life. The photos were donated to the Archives of American Mathematics , a unit of the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin.

Julian watched as she blew out a long stream of smoke. The Toronto winds were entirely against him tonight and as she breathed the chemicals out, they blew towards his face. He crinkled his nose again; he didn't mind smokers and yes, he'd had his fair share of cigarettes. But the cigarette, in his mind, was just so overdone with Niq. He was tired of watching her light one every time she was feeling vulnerable, every time she wanted to occupy her hands with something. Every time she took a drag, she was one step closer to death. And sitting in a cemetery, each time she took a drag, it just taunted him. It was as if every time the embers burned at the end, they were laughing at him. Another girl he cared for, slipping through his fingers in a different way. He rolled his eyes, moving his gaze away from Niq to stop himself from taking her cigarette and flicking it away. "Maybe that's something you should focus on then. Because if you think your riddles and mysterious edge complete you, then it must not feel so great when that mystery is solved," Julian claimed, shrugging a bit. He paused and he let his words fall apprehensively. "You're not a mystery, Niq. You have a past. Everyone has a past. And you know what your next game can be? Figuring out who you are without letting your past shape it."
Still, he had an idea of how she felt. Their entire relationship, whatever it was, was based around this idea that they both were too 'fucked up' to embrace. Their mysteries had people holding them at arms length all the time. And now, with the knowledge of Niq's past, it was easier to bring her closer, to understand. The crazy antics, the way she distanced herself all had a reason and therefore, could be reacted to in a way that she would welcome. Julian, on the other hand, still had a metaphorical caution tape wrapped around him. His own past did follow him, and though Niq had heard bits and pieces, she didn't get it all. She knew Grace's name, she knew what others did. But she didn't know a lot at the same time. A lot of people, including his closest friends and family, didn't know. But he liked it better that way. He didn't want to share. He didn't want to be 'figured out.' What good what it do him or Niq? Knowing his problems wouldn't help her get along with him any better. It would merely make him vulnerable to her and that was something he wasn't looking for. He enjoyed her company. He liked reading quotes to her, he liked stealing kisses when he could, he liked having conversations based entirely off sarcasm with her. And his past didn't need to come in and ruin any of that. So he kept his mouth shut and hoped that Niq realized that just as she wasn't her past, he wasn't his and his 'mysterious edge' didn't matter.
Julian was silently thankful that every cigarette had a short life but chose not to watch as Niq finally put out the nicotine laced stick. Instead, he kept his eyes on up above. If a girl on edge of running away was beside him and her first love was underneath him, Julian just wanted to look up. Anywhere but at the two things keeping him in his spot. It wasn't until he felt her body lean against his arm, the smell of her shampoo and faint perfume reassuring him that it really was her, that Julian looked her way. Her questions were fair and he knew he should have given her an answer right then, but he struggled. He didn't know. He was the guy who hadn't had a relationship in two years, hadn't had sex in a year and a half up until a few months ago, hadn't even kissed a girl again up until a few months ago. He had a sentimental heart and he was doing everything in his power to keep it as full and untouched as it could possibly be after what he had endured. He ran his tongue over his bottom lip and lightly commented, "Well, I don't do casual sex, fortunately for you. Not my thing." But still, he knew that wasn't the answer she was looking for. It didn't clear a thing up.
Julian shifted slightly underneath her and drew his arm back as she sat up. It made him uncomfortable to even be having this conversation with Noah lying beneath them, but he wasn't just going to stand up and walk away from it. Julian was a dick, he was. But that was superficially. Here, in these moments, he was the good guy who wouldn't just leave. He'd fight and fight and keep pushing on alongside people he cared for, even if it didn't benefit him in any way. He only hoped Niq would be able to crawl into bed tonight with a little piece of mind. "I don't know what you're asking me for. What is it that you want, Niq? You're the girl that does go out and has the casual sex and flees from commitment. So what is it that you want from me?" He glanced over at her, pausing for a moment, but his own questions were unfair. He didn't want to shine a light like that on her. Running a hand through his dark hair, he sighed, "Look, I'm the commitment guy. I either want it all or I'd rather just not have it. But right now, I'm the commitment guy who can't seem to find the balls to commit to anything. I'm a little lost, to say the least." He shrugged lightly, his gaze holding hers, "Things are complicated. And I don't know how to sort through them at this very moment with you."
Niq's hands shook on the cigarette. Because of the cold or the situation or just because, she wasn't sure. "It doesn't feel so great," Niq laughed bitterly, her voice dry against the cold air. Niq shrugged her shoulders, looking back at Julian. "I dunno. I just… Dunno," Niq breathed in, closing her eyes, and could swear she saw colours on the back of her eyelids, taunting her, pulling her away from the dull greys of Toronto, of Noah's final bed. "I didn't know before, and I sure as fuck don't know now. Maybe I do, actually," Niq corrected herself. She laughed before she continued, and her voice scratched against her throat. "Maybe I do know. Maybe I just don't want to admit I'm not a good person." Niq shrugged inwardly, and was quiet.
When Julian was silent along with her, it took Niq awhile to pick up on what he meant by his lack of words. When she finally figured it out, she couldn't help but think of course. How obvious was it? It was staring her right in the fact, and she'd just ignored it. Julian had his own shit. And up until that night, Niq hadn't been willing to share any of her past, so why should he be so eager to share any of his? Niq wasn't sure what was keeping Julian from opening up; whether he didn't want to, wasn't ready, didn't want Niq to hear… But that didn't matter. All that mattered was that it sort of clicked in Niq's mind that she was hurting, so maybe Julian still was, too.
Julian was warm, Niq found, though she wasn't expecting it. She expected him to be cold, but she only felt comfortable for the brief moments she leaned herself awkwardly against him. Niq looked at the backs of her pale hands as they were both silent, and traced the dark veins she could see underneath her skin. Niq was content with tracing and pushing, entertaining herself like she used to, as a child, until Julian spoke up. "That's cool," Niq laughed quietly, her voice softer. "Thought you were a total slut. My bad," Niq's words were joking, and she wanted to smack herself for it, wanted to shake herself until her head was on straight. Niq just bit down on the inside of her cheek, closing her eyes until she could see white behind her eyelids.
After Niq had sat up, and Julian began describing her, she sat forward, leaning on her knees, and began picking at her nails, her hair, the grass she sat on. It was almost like Niq didn't want to hear what Julian had to say about her, and she found herself craving running, as she sometimes did. She wanted to run and run and wanted to feel her feet bleed, wanted her calves and thighs to ache, wanted her chest and stomach to burn. Niq wanted the back of her throat to feel dry, she wanted to run until she couldn't anymore, till she couldn't walk or talk or think. It was all Niq could think of, but she stayed there, sitting pathetically. "I don't know what I fucking want," Niq spat out bitterly, before calming herself down, letting her voice grow softer and quieter. "I don't know what you want. You know - you know about Noah, now. You don't have to commit to anything, just tell me what you want."
// hi so i'm gonna respond to jaime/anne in ze mornin when i have gifs but yeah my dad's going away for 2 weeks, back for 1 week, then gone for another 2 so i'm upset but i'm sort of just giving up on some SLs on here. i love everyone ooc but i'm just upset and tired and done with putting too much effort in so ~
I don't like it.
Yeah. We're all just sort of fading.
I'm not allowed to kiss you. See, I think about kissing you so often that it's become one of those rules I have set for myself, like not wearing heels after three glasses of dark red wine. I think about kissing you when the sun is just setting over the mountains and I think about kissing you when the snow is falling and your lips are pale pink from the cold. Sometimes I think about kissing you on worn couches with knitted blankets and cups of coffee steaming next to us and sometimes I think your hands would intertwine with mine. Kissing you in fields full of wild flowers on wool blankets beneath our shaking legs and spring stars above our nervous lips has crossed my mind. Linking my hand in yours in crowded hallways and busy streets and pecking your cheek is another thought I've had. Except I'm not allowed to kiss you; because your mind is one I can't figure out and your hands are never close enough for mine to hold and your smile makes me falter and forget where I am and who I am and what I think and that the snow is falling and all I want is to kiss you but I'm not allowed to kiss you (but you're allowed to kiss me.)
He courted me mutely with these self-portraits of his disembodied head.

As I sat in my teensy weensy studio apartment this morning, drinking strong Italian roast coffee to pull me out of my end-of-the-week daze, some posts on my Google reader pulled me into a strong apartment envy daze. And then the obvious struck me…the plethora of home decor-centric blogs and columns proves that apparently we are all willing to be a little bit masochistic in exchange for getting voyeuristic peeks into the homes of some industry leaders. So on my rampant scour of cool design, I've selected a few posts to share with you! Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for your suddenly strong resentment of IKEA bedframes and dollar store glassware.
- I really enjoy following Song of Style…but not necessarily for her style shots and cute pup (though they are both quite astounding!). Rather, I dig the way she features impeccable interior design that mixes modern with antique. Check out Aimee's finds for endless inspiration on how to decorate the house of your dreams — even if I'll only ever afford a plastic Barbie "Dream" house. [Song of Style - Interior Design]
- The Burning House is a newish Tumblr based around a really original, perfectly executed concept: if your house were burning down, what would you take with you? Is there any better question to peer inside someone's soul? If you're as curious as we are, this pictorial blog gives you a snapshot of the inner workings of various creative professionals. [The Burning House]
- Everyone has been dying to see The Coveteur's feature on The Man Repeller, formally known as Leandra Medine. Pretty pumped to see that she praises a BB Dakota dress amongst her many designer duds (that was one of our fave holiday frocks also!). [The Coveteur | Leandra Medine]
- New girl crush alert: Kate Foley, buyer for Opening Ceremony. Dive into Refinery29's profile on her amaaazing apartment and trinkets and you'll understand why. [Refinery29 - My Style: Opening Ceremony's Kate Foley
- OK, so technically this isn't about interior design -- but it's way too good to pass up sharing! Photographer David Welch and his series of sculptural totem poles are spreading around the web like wildfire, sparking debate on human consumption...enough of my rambling, let the photos do the talking.

RIPTON — More than 1,000 cross-country skiing enthusiasts from throughout New England will converge on Ripton this coming February as part of the 2011 TD Bank Bill Koch Festival.
The two-day event (Feb. 25-26), featuring a variety of activities for young cross-country skiers and their families, is expected to provide a very welcome spark to the winter economy in Addison County. Organizers anticipate filling every hotel room in the Middlebury area while providing a stream of potential shoppers and diners.

BRANDON — Against steep odds and with a few windfalls, the Otter Valley Union High School board this month passed a proposed 2011-2012 budget that far exceeds spending reductions suggested by state education officials in the Challenges for Change law and that raises the local education tax rate by a mere cent while retaining the school resource officer.
On Dec. 15, the board unanimously decided to put before voters a $10,221,037 spending plan for 2011-2012, cutting $454,853, or 4.26 percent, in spending from the current budget.
BRANDON — Some taxpayers in Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union towns — including Brandon, Goshen, Leicester and Whiting — will be very pleased come Town Meeting Day. Most area school budgets will translate into significant reductions in the local tax rate thanks to lower proposed spending and the state per pupil spending formula.
VERMONT — In an action that surprised many observers, the U.S. Senate on Sunday passed the Food Safety and Modernization Act.
The bill, which had appeared dead after it encountered a number of technical issues close to the end of this year's congressional session, passed the Senate unanimously by voice vote late on Sunday. From there, the bill headed to the U.S. House, where it was approved on Tuesday and sent to the President's desk.
ADDISON COUNTY — Orwell Republican Mark Young raised and spent the most of any of the Addison County candidates running for Vermont House or Senate seats in 2010.
Candidates had until Dec. 15 to file their final campaign finance reports closing out the 2010 elections.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen took no action at their Dec. 21 meeting to move the town toward becoming a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) district, an action that could — but only after a positive vote by residents — make Ferrisburgh property owners eligible for town-backed, low-cost loans for energy efficiency upgrades.
The selectboard heard a presentation about PACE from Vermont Energy Investment Corp. official Peter Adamczyk and town energy coordinator Bob McNary.
MIDDLEBURY — The town of Middlebury and a former storeowner have settled a longstanding legal dispute relating to local sales of the herb salvia divinorum.
Middlebury has agreed to withdraw a 2007 emergency health order barring the now-defunct Emporium Tobacco and Gift Shop from selling salvia. At the same time, former Emporium storeowner James Stone has agreed to drop his Vermont Supreme Court action against the town in connection with that 2007 order.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury's local option tax has generated $1,335,614 in its first two full years of collection — an average of $667,807 annually, which town officials said puts the community comfortably on pace to retire the 30-year-bond for the Cross Street Bridge.
Figures provided by the town of Middlebury show the 1-percent tax on rooms, meals, sales and alcohol generated $202,515 during the third quarter of 2010. That's the strongest quarter ever, and well ahead of the $186,917 in taxes generated during the same quarter of 2009.
VERGENNES — Christmas will be an even warmer occasion than usual in the Genau household in Vergennes, and indeed throughout Addison County this year.
Vermont National Guard Staff Sgt. Eric Genau and around 40 of his colleagues from the Vergennes armory are finally back, safe and sound, from an almost year-long deployment to Afghanistan.
ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County residents who waited until the week before Christmas to buy a tree found it a hard task this year.
Most area vendors reached the end of their Christmas tree supply last weekend, and by Sunday many had closed their doors for the season.
"It was a very early, very fast season," said Cheryl Werner, who with her family runs Werner Tree Farm in Middlebury.

Pickrelltown is an unincorporated community located at the intersection of two roads (County Roads 28 and 29) in northern Monroe Township, Logan County, Ohio, United States. It has also been known as Frogtown, and its current name has also been spelled Pickereltown, Pickeretown, and Pickreltown.[1] The community consists of a few homes and a small church, plus a historic monument (a memorial to fallen soldiers from the community) placed in the middle of the intersection. The monument was destroyed in April 2000,[2] although it has since been replaced.
Pickrelltown lies at an elevation of 1,411 feet (430 m) and is located at 40°17′59″N 83°39′37″W / 40.29972°N 83.66028°W (40.2997777, -83.6602083),[1] a short distance south of Mad River Mountain Ski Resort and southeast of Bellefontaine. The headwaters of the Macochee Creek, a small stream that meets the Mad River at West Liberty, are located around Pickrelltown.[3]
Pigeon Town, a town of the Shawnee Mekoche division, was located on Mad River, 3 miles northwest of West Liberty, Logan County, Ohio.[4]

MONDAY, Feb. 24, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- It's often said that the loss of a spouse or partner leaves "a broken heart." That notion might have some scientific validity, with new evidence suggesting the risk for a heart attack or stroke goes up during the first few weeks of bereavement.
"Our study shows the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke doubles in the crucial 30-day period after a partner's death for those experiencing loss of a loved one," said study co-author Sunil Shah.
Bereavement has long been known as a risk factor for death. Prior work has suggested that grief has a direct negative impact on blood clotting risk, blood pressure, stress hormone levels and heart rate control, said Shah, a senior lecturer in public health at St. George's University of London in England.
But citing a lack of sufficient information on the specific impact of bereavement on heart disease, Shah and his colleagues examined thousands of heart health histories contained in a large British primary care database.
The team focused on information concerning nearly 30,500 British men and women between 60 and 89 years old, all of whom had lost a partner between 2005 and 2012. They also looked at the histories of about 83,600 similarly aged men and women who had not lost a partner in that time frame.
The researchers found that in the month following a partner's death, the incidence of fatal or non-fatal heart attack and stroke was roughly double among men and women in the bereavement group, compared with those in the non-bereavement group. The numbers were relatively small, however -- 50 heart attacks or strokes among the bereaved group, versus 67 for the non-bereaved group.
The finding held up whether looking at the combined risk for heart attack and stroke, or at individual risk for just one or the other, the researchers said.
"We think it is important that doctors, friends and family are aware of this increased risk of heart attacks and strokes so they can ensure care and support is as good as possible at a time of increased vulnerability before and after loss of a loved one," Shah added.
However, the cardiovascular gap observed between the two groups started to narrow significantly after the first 30 days. When the study authors compared heart status at the 90-day mark and again one year out, the two groups were found to face more or less comparable risk.
The study authors concluded that their findings reinforce the notion of a psychological-physiological dimension to cardiovascular risk.
The findings appear in the Feb. 24 online issue of JAMA Internal Medicine.
A cardiovascular disease specialist not involved with the study suggested the findings are yet more proof of a "very powerful link" between mind and body.
"Most people are somewhat aware that stress can have a physiological effect," said Dr. Martha Grogan, a consultant with the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "But what's important to realize is that there is a real impact on the body."
Researchers aren't sure exactly what lies behind the link. "But we think it has something to do with how emotional factors cause arterial instability, by increasing the risk that the plaque we all have to some degree will start to block the arteries," Grogan said.
For most people, the emotional toll of bereavement will eventually pass, she said. But while you're struggling with grief or experiencing long-term chronic stress from another source, she suggested looking for ways to relieve your burden.
You might try exercising or reaching out for the emotional support of others, she said.
"The way we handle our stress clearly can have an impact on our health," Grogan added.

Ultrabook Proves Computers Can Be Astounding
Slim, stylish, and smart, the up-and-coming Intel Ultrabook is in a category all by itself.
Consciously constructed with an energy-efficient 2nd generation Intel Core processor, this über-responsive device bonds with the user, conforming to the need for speedy start-ups and shut-downs (think of it as the Memory Foam of the computer world). The lightweight construction helps too: a thickness of less than an inch means you can grab and go in a flash.
Aptly named for being "ultra" in every way, other outstanding features of the Ultrabook include built-in visuals that are richer than ever, intelligent multitasking, and the high performance levels and enhanced capabilities to deliver accordingly. And all for a sharper, more stunning look and feel overall, from the inside out.
PC Mag recently reviewed the coming of the Ultrabook, touting attributes like low-voltage processors, carving out a "low thermal envelope" designed to prevent overheating and maximize battery life (some systems delivering a 9-5 work day's worth of usage). Certain models are even equipped with a breathable keyboard and strategically-placed vents, and most will be security-enabled, so you can enjoy speedy browsing and maneuvering without compromising safety.
Any gadget guy or gal will surely have the sleek and savvy Ultrabook on their wish list this holiday season, which is exactly when the devices will hit the market.
Get the scoop on Ultrabooks now.

This information is provided by the asymmetries of cross-sections measured with longitudinally polarized electrons in elastic electron-proton scattering and quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering. A set of measurements at two different Q2 will allow the complete separation of the electric and magnetic weak, as well as axial nucleon form factors. This report summarizes the physics case, gives details about the dedicated set-up used, and shows the results of the combination of the strange quark contribution in the electric and magnetic form factors of the protons. The experiment was performed at the Jefferson Laboratory, during years 2003 and 2004, and will be completed after backward-angle measurements in 2006, 2007.

Mama Knows BestLooking for the mother of all burgers? Make your way to Mama Burger in Flagstaff, where the patties are made with pure Angus chuck and pressed with a steak weight as they sizzle on the griddle. And then there are the fries.
By Roger Naylor
FLAGSTAFF Bernadette Chavez says she believes in doing only a few things, but doing them well. Fortunately for chowhounds, that short list includes burgers, fries and shakes. Chavez owns Mama Burger in Flagstaff, a joint that began as a tiny hole in the wall and has grown into a bigger hole in the wall. Hey, you don't eat ambience.
Mama Burger opened in February 2009 with four stools lining a window-front counter. Right from the start, crowds wedged through the door, after being drawn in by the wafting perfume of grill-kissed beef. The eatery was hailed as a Flagstaff version of the cultishly famous In-N-Out Burger, with its limited menu and adherence to fresh ingredients. Soon the space was expanded to include several tables to accommodate the ravenous throng of locals, students and food-savvy tourists that gathers each day to tuck into a deliciously simple meal.
If you love burgers, it's probably because of Mama Burger, or a place just like it. Before society's need for speed corrupted the process, this was how we got our burger fix: someone in an apron tossing a ball of fresh meat onto the flattop. All Mama Burgers are made with pure Angus chuck and pressed with a steak weight as they sizzle on the griddle. The process creates a rough-hewn patty with a delicate crispness haunting the edges and juices seared inside.
Swabbed with a tangy sauce made in-house and stacked with lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles so crisp you'd swear there's a garden out back, the burger nestles on a cushiony bun, a retro masterpiece of comfort food. This is the essence of a grand burger, a joy bomb of tender beef, enhanced by the varying textures and flavors of the add-ons. Cheese it if you want, there's no extra charge. You can also double up the patties or throw on some bacon, jalapeños and even a heap of fries — yes, fries directly on the burger. Genius! By this time you'll have created a sandwich so towering you'll need Sherpas to hoist the final pickle.
A perfect burger requires a perfect sidekick, and the fries at Mama Burger — slivers of hot, salted bliss — more than qualify. They start the morning as potatoes, are blanched twice, then hand-cut and cooked in rice oil, leaving them lively and brash — and sinfully addictive. The milkshakes are whipped by hand using premium soft-serve ice cream. Besides the usual suspects, the frosty roster includes taste sensations like root beer and the devastating orange creamsicle.
A burger, fries and a shake made right in front of you. There may be only a few things that Bernadette Chavez has mastered, but they're a few of our favorite things. If all mamas tried that, nobody would ever leave home.

Excellent school! My three children are very happy with staff and students. As for not well mannered kids, clicks or other negative comments others have made. I just need to say that there are clicks and bad mannered, bullying everywhere. We as parents need to educate and assist our children with these issues. As far as diversity is concerned, chamlian has given my kids a sense if belonging and confidence.
My child spent several years at Chamlian and now attends a public school. Why the change? As someone else here remarked, there is far too much drama at the school --- kids bullying kids, parents bullying parents, cliques, and a generally unhealthy atmosphere that does not reflect the real world. The student body is ALL Armenian and so is the faculty with the possible exception of maybe one teacher. And while some people may prefer this, it is simply not what the real world is about, especially now that things are becoming more ethnically diverse. The best thing that Chamlan offers--as does any private school-- is a controlled environment. The academics at Chamlian are substandard compared to what my child now receives in a public school. To be fair, some of the Chamlian faculty and administration are nice people with good intentons, but the bottom line is that my child is doing much better personally and academically in a public school where there is far less drama and social snobbery. I am aware of several children being taken out of Chamlian and enrolled in public schools, yet Chamlian failed to address the underlying causes of these student withdrawals.
I had my daughter go here for 6 years, although the staff was welcoming, there was many problems with the school overall.There is too much drama,caused by the lack of nationality diversity,and the students are not well-mannered. The school has many cliques, and the school does nothing about it.
I'm so happy that I decided to send my daughter to Chamlian. Excellent teachers, staff and healthy food :) . Most important my daughter loves her school and her teachers.
My children have attended this school for the past three years. I have never seen such unprofessional and impolite staff anywhere. I wonder how they stay in business.
ive went to this school. & i dont recommend it at all. highly organized and teachers could care less. barely any activities no parental involvement.
Chamlian is a great school. It has many extracurricular activities. The teachers there are very experienced,knowledgeable,and caring. They have many strict policies, like many other private schools like hair, socks, and uniform. I goe to this school and I love it because of the sports, environment, and my teachers that I have now and in the past.
This school has been great for my child. He has learned English and Armenian at the same time and has gotten involved with extracarricular activities. Here they value children's learning and put them foremost everything.
Pretty good school but a bit expensive. It is located in a very upscale neighborhood. The teachers are very friendly and both disciple and academics are top priority.

|Token transfers among great apes (Gorilla gorilla, Pongo pygmaeus, Pan paniscus, and Pan troglodytes): species differences, gestural requests, and reciprocal exchange.
|Marie Pelé1Valérie Dufour2, 3Bernard Thierry1Josep Call4
|Great apes appear to be the nonhuman primates most capable of recognizing trading opportunities and engaging in transfers of commodities with conspecifics. Spontaneous exchange of goods between them has not yet been reported. We tested gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), bonobos (Pan paniscus), and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in a token-exchange task involving two conspecifics and a human experimenter. Tested in pairs, subjects had to exchange tokens with a partner to obtain food from the experimenter. We observed 4, 5, 264, and 328 transfers of tokens in gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and bonobos, respectively. Most gifts were indirect in gorillas, chimpanzees, and bonobos, whereas most were direct in orangutans. The analysis showed no evidence of calculated reciprocity in interactions. A main finding of the study was the high rate of repeated gifts and begging gestures recorded in orangutans. This raises the question of the meaning of pointing in great apes and their ability to understand the communicative intent of others.

Meet the New Boss
Youth rises again in The Generational: Younger than Jesus at the New Museum
In The Generational: Younger than Jesus, the inaugural exhibition of its new triennial, the New Museum hopes to play apostle in documenting an imminent revolution in art history, chronicling the good work of its new prophets. With an eyebrow-raiser of a title, the exhibition presents the work of 50 artists, all younger than 33 (Jesus' age at crucifixion), all members of the so-called Millennial Generation. First, allow me to join the legion of bloggers in agreeing that this is the Worst Exhibition Title Ever. Distasteful, borderline offensive, and cliché in its romanticism of martyred youth. However, the real crime is that it is really uncool. When mounting an exhibition whose subject is the young and hip, a contrivance so square as Younger than Jesus elicits the same cringing embarrassment as the toupeed boomer, posting ironic YouTube clips on your Facebook page. In the immortal words of the Fresh Prince, esteemed prophet of the Millennial generation, "To you, all the kids, all across the land, there's no need to argue, parents just don't understand."
Actually, that the curatorial construct is so uncool, so out of touch and so wrong, seems fitting in a show about generational divide and identity. After all, such is the definitive concept of generational markers – that our parents just don't get us. Even more beguiling (or as testament to the low expectations such a title engenders) is that in a miracle beyond fishes and loaves, Younger than Jesus is actually a good show. Standout pieces by Kitty Kraus, Tris Vonna-Michell, Ryan Trecartin and James Richards manage to belie the absurd context of the exhibition in a fitting demonstration of youth's timeless ability to flip the bird at the institution, and transform contrivance into real meaning.
The focus of the show is two-fold: Youth and the Younger Generation. The first, the production of gifted youths, is a topic so belabored as to be inane. Curator Laura Hoptman predicates the exhibition on the obvious fact that many of the greatest works of art were produced by artists younger than 30. So, ostensibly, by focusing their new triennial on artists in their twenties, we might perhaps discover the next masterwork of a Jasper Johns or Pablo Picasso. Yet, given the make-up of recent Whitney Biennials and the dominance of the MFA system in the art market, the assertion of the necessity for a show on this demographic seems absurd. Further, the genius of youth and the transience of youthful production are not much of a curatorial hard sell either. Gordan Matta-Clark, Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Eva Hesse, Caravaggio—there is no shortage of young geniuses, nor martyred youths in the art world. Give me a triennial of forgotten mid-career, artists struggling with anonymity, distended waistlines, dysfunctional sex organs, and the fleeting possibilities of making lasting and relevant humanist works before death, and then I might tip my hat to the new revolution. Otherwise, to focus on the inspired genius of the young, gifted and beautiful feels like "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
The second topic, generational identity, is far more intriguing. Younger than Jesus seeks to explore what ideas, interests, and subjects ally the Millennials, but more broadly asks if the construct of generation itself is even still relevant. Though sprawling and fractious in both its years and politics, there is a shared acceptance of the definition, existence and identity of the Baby Boomers. In contrast, an Internet search on the Millienial generation provides no such accord. Neither agreed years, nor even a shared name. Generation Y, the Millennial Generation, iGeneration, Me Generation. It's generation identity crisis, and with nearly 50% of the worlds population belonging to the Millennial, it is possible that generational identity, like nationalism, eroded under the shifting currents of globalism and the world demographic.
Notwithstanding, walking through Younger than Jesus, a clear sense of a shared identity does develop, epitomized by AIDS 3-D's OMG Obelisk. The black minimalist and monolithic totem, flanked by torches, is alit with the ever-present text-messaging acronym: OMG. Oh my God. There is no doubt that technology is the origin story, tribal counsel and god-force for the generation that never knew a world without the personal computer. Even the uses of archaic technologies in the exhibition, such as the turntables in Icaro Zorbar's Golden Triangle or the tape decks in Vonna-Michell's No More Racing in Circles, Just Pacing within the lines of a Rectangle, come not from nostalgia, but from the technophile's innate understanding of the specific value and aesthetic of particular technologies, and as an assertion against their obsolescence.
Overall, it is savvy work that feels novel, but I found no signs of revolution within the innovation. No radical ideas or forms. No seismic generational shift. To the contrary, many familiar ideas and artworks of the past are recycled and remediated in the new work. Cory Arcangel's mural-sized abstract color c-print Photoshop CS: 110 by 72 inches, 300 dpi, RGB, square pixels, default. gradient "Spectrum", mousedown y=1416 x=1000, mouse up y=208 x=42 is Lawrence Wiener via Photoshop; Chu Yun This is XX is Cornelia Parker and Tilda Swinton's Maybe outsourced and doped on Ambien; and Kitty Krauss' Untitled invokes the Euclidian geometry of Robert Morris' mirror cubes, plotted into the fractal dimension. This is not to say these are not vibrant and interesting works, they are, but it is to say that it is a critical mark of this generation that the images, media, methods and works of the past generation are the subject matter for the new.
New media theorist Lev Manovich sees this process of recycling, or 'remediation', as central to the new generation. In The Language of New Media, he notes that "the new avant-garde is no longer concerned with seeing or representing the world in new ways but rather with accessing and using in new ways previously accumulated media." As both born consumers and the inheritors of such a vast amount of media, imagery and objects, the Millennial Generation inherits the role of archivist as much as artist. Raised on technology, the Millenials know that obsolescence is the new death. So, to protect ideas from obsolescence, as with technology, they must be invoked and transferred, before their original format becomes so outdated that the material is lost forever, e.g. LP to tape to CD to minidisk to Mp3. This continual transference keeps the material and ideas of past generation vibrant, alive, present, and forever young. So then, it's a fitting irony of Younger than Jesus that although youth is the driving force of obsolescence, the focus of this generation is on its denial. What this says about Jesus, I don't know. However, writing this on Easter weekend, it seems apropos to note that three years hence when the next triennial will open, most of the artists in this show will no longer be Younger than Jesus. Yet, though they will not be able to stave off their own crucifixion, or the death of their youth, given their bent to archive, preserve and reanimate ideas of the past, resurrection is only ever right outside the cave.
