Korean Artist Illustrates the Beautiful Simplicity of Love
The meaning of love is found in the artist's illustration of the simple but special moments captured in a voyeuristic yet non-intrusive depictions. Check out some of the pieces that truly capture the meaning of love. Trust me, some of them will instantly remind you of your favorite kdrama moments.
The Korean artist, Puuung, intends to challenge the grand notion of love as a romantic fantasy... she believes that: "Love is something that everybody can relate to. And Love comes in ways that we can easily overlook in our daily lives. So, I try to find the meaning of love in our daily lives and make it into artwork,"
Here are a few samples of her work, I really like the fact that most of the illustrations involve eating and sleeping:

Join us in Nashville for
"To Graft or Not to Graft" - February 15-16, 2019 Event Info
Osteo Science Foundation is proud to award research grants that support Junior Faculty in their pursuit of high quality research. We are proud to be their partners and to help lead the way by funding initiatives that are making a true difference.
The following are grant recipients of the Philip J. Boyne Junior Faculty Research Award.
The Principal Investigator is Dr. Ryan E. Tomlinson, PhD, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University. His research in bone repair has yielded substantial acclaim in the field, including the Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Award, the Endocrine Fellows Foundation Award, the ASBMR Young Investigator Award, and the IBMS Alice L. Jee Young Investigator Award. The Co-Principal Investigators are Dr. Robert Diecidue, DMD, MD, MBA, MSPH, Professor and Chair; and Dr. Daniel Taub, DDS, MD, Associate Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University, both accomplished physician-scientists in the field of oral surgery.
This study on the role of NSAIDs in dental implant osseointegration is divided into two specific aims, for new implants (Aim 1) and failed implants (Aim 2). In Aim 1, subjects receiving maxillary dental implants will be randomized to take either naproxen or placebo following surgery, with longitudinal, quantitative data on osseointegration collected by Osstell radiofrequency analysis. In Aim 2, failed implants will be retrieved from subjects who provide NSAID usage information. These specimens will be analyzed using microCT, undecalcfied histology, and protein analysis. Together, our results will quantitatively determine the risks of NSAIDs on dental implant osseointegration.
Multiple channels in bioceramic scaffolds promote rapid vascularization and robust bone formation
Dr. Yunqing Kang received his PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering from Sichuan University, and did post-doctoral research in bone tissue regeneration from the Department of Osteopaedic Surgery, Stanford University. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at Florida Atlantic University since 2014. Dr. Kang's research interest is craniofacial bone tissue regeneration.
Our goal in this project is to develop new functional bone scaffolds for the preservation of post-extraction sockets and alveolar bone augmentation. In this proposal we will use our developed template-casting method to create multiple hollow channels in porous β-TCP scaffolds. We will examine the effect of the channeled macroporous scaffolds on angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vitro, and we will also study the functionality of the multiple channels in the macroporous scaffolds to promote bone formation in a rat mandibular bone defects. The interconnection of hollow channels and macropores in the scaffold minimizes the diffusion distance of nutrient and blood supply, thus significantly promoting rapid vascularization and robust bone formation. This "off-the-shelf" scaffold will be convenient for dentists to directly use it with appropriate shaping treatments. This scaffold will have the potential not only for preservation of the post-extraction socket but also for bone regeneration of craniofacial bone defects in the future.
Effect Of Alveolar Ridge Preservation After Tooth Extraction in the Posterior Maxilla: A Randomized Trial
Dr. Khouly is currently Associate Director of Periodontology & Implant Dentistry at Bluestone Center for Clinical Research, and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at New York University (NYU).He obtained his DDS between Spain, UK and Norway. He also obtained a master degree in tissue engineering. At the NYU, he completed a 3-year advanced program in implant dentistry. This was followed by his PhD in biomedicine, specialized in sinus bone augmentation. Dr Khouly has also published in major journals, and lectured nationally and internationally. He is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantologist, and Diplomate and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
The aim of this prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled trial is to evaluate through a split-mouth design the postextraction dimensional changes in the posterior maxilla occurred in the same subject following alveolar ridge preservation using porcine-derived xenograft combined with a collagen membrane or extraction alone. Subjects who will require double extraction of contralateral second maxillary premolar and first/second maxillary molar will be recruited at Bluestone Center for Clinical Research at New York University College of Dentistry. Study-subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to receive both alveolar ridge preservation and extraction alone.

COLOGNE, Germany (Reuters) - The European Union needs to aim for a deeper emissions cut soon, to rescue a record low carbon price and spur long-term investment in low-carbon technology, leading carbon market players said at an industry gathering.
Europe's economic slump has made it easier for the EU to reach its 2020 climate goal, and a tougher target to cut emissions would restore relevance in the EU emissions trading scheme by lifting carbon prices from record lows, they said.
Europe's stagnant growth has caused a massive surplus of so-called EU Allowances (EUAs), which are the instruments of compliance for more than 12,000 power and industrial plants taking part in the scheme.
The European Commission is preparing to propose in July measures to create scarcity in the market. [ID:nL5E8GVE1K] Yet market participants fear intervention will fall short of fixing the problem.
"EUAs are like confetti at the moment," said Mark Meyrick, head of the carbon desk at Eneco Energy, a sustainable energy firm in the Netherlands.
Without the EU deepening its 2020 target beyond a 20 percent cut in emissions against 1990 levels, there is little reason to expect the market to escape the doldrums, he told Reuters.
"The market is not going to crash radically from here with 7 euros to go, and we could be bumping along the bottom for a while."
Analysts say the surplus will likely exceed an equivalent of 1 billion tons of emissions by the end of 2012, taking into account a healthy supply of U.N.-backed emissions offsets which can be used for compliance in the EU scheme.
Germany has asked for discussion on deeper EU carbon emissions cuts to be put on the agenda at a meeting of environment ministers in June. But debate of bigger carbon cuts has been difficult, with coal-reliant Poland objecting that they could damage its economy.
A majority of carbon market experts called for supply intervention in the EU ETS, though the preferred policy choice was the EU increasing its 2020 target to 30 percent, a poll of carbon market experts showed this week.
Valued by the World Bank at nearly $150 billion last year, the EU cap-and-trade scheme is by far the world's biggest carbon market. Despite some teething pains since its launch in 2005, the EU ETS has become a role model of sorts for other schemes.
Carbon market initiatives are emerging in Australia, South Korea and Mexico, as well in California and Quebec.
"We need the (EU) ETS to be a shining example at this moment in time as a lot of countries and regions around the world are looking to establish a carbon market," said Hege Marie Norheim, a senior vice president at Norwegian oil firm Statoil.
"(But) the way the ETS is working today it is not creating enough trust and stability for us," the Statoil executive said at the three-day carbon conference which ended on Friday.
"Trust and long-term stability in the carbon price is obviously fundamental for us to do investment, which are always investments that cover decades."
The Commission will in July also publish an analysis of the EU ETS that will touch on longer-term emissions reduction targets for the 27-nation bloc, said Jos Delbeke, the EU Director General for Climate Action.
"We are going to be fairly specific about a number of options, (and) one of them will be a debate on 2030," Delbeke told the conference on Thursday.
But even with front-year carbon prices trading near historic lows, just above 6 euros a ton, the carbon market has liquidity and the low prices reflect the current level of ambition and economic conditions, said James Atkins, chairman of brokerage Vertis Environmental Finance.
ETS emissions have fallen in two of the past three years, thanks mainly to Europe's sluggish growth and fiscal crisis.
"The market is working and emissions are going down," Atkins told Reuters.
He said some people in the market are worried about carbon prices being too low. "For me, the problem is that the target isn't high enough."

A week ago it appeared that the Cardinals might be on the verge of tumbling out of the National League Central Division race.
Now, thanks to their five-game winning streak coupled with the Milwaukee Brewers' eight-game slide, the Redbirds have a chance to get a stranglehold on the division lead. They've gone from two games out of first place to three games out front. Milwaukee is suddenly fighting for its playoff life.
The Birds play four games in Milwaukee and then three against the Brewers in St. Louis. If the Cardinals win four of those seven games and then play .500 ball the rest of the way, the Brewers are going to have to win two-thirds of their games, at least, to catch up. Since a 19-8 April, the Brew Crew is 53-57.
The Cardinals seem to be on the rise because of a sudden outburst of offense sparked by the return of catcher Yadier Molina, a power surge from left fielder Matt Holliday and the breakout of the dormant bench. Both utility infielder Daniel Descalso and reserve outfielder Peter Bourjos have made strong contributions over the last month. And young slugger Randal Grichuk has helped out with a .400 batting average since his return from the minor leagues.
The Redbirds are hoping for another boost tonight when Michael Wacha, who hasn't started since June thanks to a shoulder injury, will return for what is expected to be an abbreviated start. He's on a pitch count of 50-60, which likely means he'll depart before he'll get the five innings necessary to be eligible for a win. But the Cardinals need to stretch him out at the big league level as the minor league regular season is over, ending the chance for a rehab assignment.

BANGOR, Maine — The Maine Warden Service on Thursday night suspended its search for Richard "Shaw" Jackson, 18, of China. The teenager became the focus of an extensive search after he went missing the night of Jan. 1 while returning home from a snowmobile repair shop.
Col. Joel Wilkinson, chief game warden, said the decision to suspend the search was discussed with Jackson's family before it was called off. He said the case will remain open, and an investigator will be assigned to it. A warden service pilot periodically will fly over China Lake and the area to look for any sign of Jackson.
Wilkinson and Lt. Kevin Adam, search-and-rescue coordinator, said the search was suspended because cold weather conditions on the lake were putting searchers at risk. The depth of the water, limitations of equipment in cold conditions and the large search area also were factors.
"In these conditions, it's not feasible to do a water search," Wilkinson said. "I'm not putting searchers at risk. Once the ice breaks, we'll [decide] whether to send in the dive team to search the area."
Jackson, a junior at Erskine Academy, last was seen between 8 and 9 p.m. Friday, when he left Pinkham Corner Fuel in China and headed home on his black Yamaha snowmobile. The warden service was notified at 6 a.m. Saturday, that Jackson was missing and a massive search began during what later that day became blizzard conditions that dropped 18 inches of snow in the area.
It was not clear which route Jackson may have taken to get home.
On Monday night, a warden service pilot spotted a set of snowmobile tracks leading into open water on the lake's West Cove. The roughly 300-acre area became a focal point for the search. There was no indication, however, that the tracks were from Jackson's sled.
During the search, the warden service was assisted by members of 13 snowmobile clubs who traveled their clubs' trails and searched camps, the South China Fire Department, the state police and its investigations division, Maine Marine Patrol, the Brewer Fire Department and volunteers. In addition, New Hampshire Fish and Game sent a team that used a roving operating vehicle under the water.
A hovercraft, several airboats, airplanes, a helicopter, snowmobiles and side-scan sonar equipment were used throughout the week.
"Mr. Jackson's family was very appreciative of our efforts," Wilkinson said. "I would like to thank all of the people who gave of their time to try to find Mr. Jackson and bring him home to his family."
Also Thursday, the warden service warned snowmobilers to stay off China Lake because of the expanses of open water in many parts of the lake and thin ice in others. Equipment used on the lake during the search contributed to the ice thinning but the lake "is opening up on its own," Adam said.
"No snowmobiling is permitted," he said. "Snowmobilers need to wait until there is an extensive cold spell to lock in the ice. It's just not safe."

PIERRE KARL PÉLADEAU - A dramatic destiny ...
Bernard Bujold ( LeStudio1.com ) -
Le Journal de Montreal published a detailed account of the moments that followed the bike accident of Pierre Karl Peladeau.
Obviously, he could have ended his life alone on an isolated path in the forest. His death would have been even more dramatic than his sister Isabelle who recently died in a strange way and very dramatic while drowning in her car that had slipped into the lake behind her home. ( 23 November 2013 )
PKP fortunately survived... but he will have to recover for at least three months in a wheelchair before starting to walk.
Here is his message posted on Facebook:
"Hello everyone, here Pierre Karl, I write to you live from my bed at the CHUS. I am photographed with my "new boss" Micheline Ouellet assistant head nurse ( she spent 40 years of her life to heal the sick, so I'm in good hands ) and thanks to the care doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapist and attendants, I 'm doing well despite my multiple fractures. Thank Lina Cantin who found me at the edge of the road, called 911 and managed to contact Julie on whom I could rely on to accompany me through this event. Also thank Alain Sylvain and his wife Dominique , thank you to Marc- André from Sépaq, thank you to a cyclist who luckily is also an emergency Hospital Laurentien in Sainte- Agathe (unfortunately, Julie does not remember the name of this good Samaritan. If you know let us know, we would like to thank him ). This is Julie who told me that all these people took care of me at the edge of path until the paramedics arrived. I attended the work of the National Assembly today via television and I thank the leaders who wished me a speedy recovery. Thank you for your words of encouragement . Once I have my leave , I will go in to my seat wheelchair seat of the Assembl. I give you more news soon. Thank you and good evening" - Pierre Karl

Pope John Paul II Quotes About LyingQuotes about: Lying
It is pleasant to spend time with Him, to lie close to His breast like the Beloved Disciple and to feel the infinite love present in His Heart....how can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in spiritual converse, in silent adoration, in heartfelt love before Christ present in the Most Holy Sacrament?
Like so many pilgrims before us, we kneel in wonder and adoration before the ineffable mystery which. was accomplished here... In This Child - the Son who is given to us - we find rest for our souls and the true bread that never fails - the Eucharistic Bread foreshadowed even in the name of this town: Bethlehem, the house of bread. God lies hidden in the Child; divinity lies hidden in the Bread of Life

Yesterday I noted that Google has stepped on a few toes while walking down Madison Avenue.
Google's threat to ad agencies, in particular, has been discussed frequently and while the company claims that it has no intention to disintermediate agencies, its actions have won it more enemies and frenemies on Madison Avenue than friends.
Those actions may be coming back to haunt Google.
The Association of National Advertisers (ANA) has sent a letter to United States government regulators urging opposition to Google's planned search advertising deal with Yahoo.
The ANA, whose members include major advertisers such as American Express, Anheuser-Busch, Bank of America, BMW, Coca-Cola, Disney, Ford Motor Company, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Proctor & Gamble and Wal-Mart, sent a letter to the US Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Thomas O. Barnett noting that...
"...a Google-Yahoo partnership will control 90 percent of search advertising inventory."
The ANA believes that the Google-Yahoo tie-up...
"...will likely diminish competition, increase concentration of market power, limit choices currently available and potentially raise prices to advertisers for high quality, affordable search advertising."
These, of course, are precisely the opposite of the outcomes Google and Yahoo claim will result from its partnership.
Both Google and Yahoo were quick to respond to the ANA's letter and disputed its arguments.
While it's unclear what impact, if any, the ANA's opposition to the Google-Yahoo deal will have on regulators, the deal has already come under more scrutiny than the companies anticipated (including outside of the United States).
This certainly hints that the Google and Yahoo may have a more difficult time formalizing their friendship than their management teams (and shareholders) were banking on.
Yet the outcome of the Department of Justice's review of the Google-Yahoo partnership is less interesting to me than the fact that the ANA letter leaves little doubt that large advertisers, ad agencies and ad industry trade organizations have serious concerns about Google's dominance of the online advertising market, and are willing to seize the opportunity to strike at it whenever and wherever possible.
Coincidentally or not-so-coincidentally, Google has been stepping up efforts to woo (or buy?) friends on Madison Avenue.
The New York Times recently published an article detailing how "Google has built a 40-person group that is charged with courting agencies, trying to persuade them that their clients should buy ads on Google sites and use the search engine's tools."
Its Campus@ initiative even brings a Google team to agency offices - "our products, our food, our tchotchkes" in tow.
What led to this more friendly approach?
MindShare North America managing partner Jeff Ratner notes that while Google is a shoe-in when it comes to search advertising, it isn't a shoe-in anywhere else:
"As they start moving more into ad networks and other mediums, they need the agency to help make it a reality."
This underscores the fact that Google probably never anticipated that it would grow into a company owning media properties (like YouTube) that need ad agencies more than the ad agencies need those properties.
But has Google already done harm beyond immediate repair? Many agencies are looking beyond the quirky and friendly Googlers that have invaded their offices with gelato, coffee bars and iPods and see a less benevolent agenda.
Deutsch's chief media officer Peter Gardiner told the New York Times:
"I think they're great at pushing and pulling together what suits their agenda. I would not necessarily put them on the same level as other media companies in terms of their partnering attitude."
Of course, Google finds such mistrust misplaced. It claims that it is physically unable to service clients in the same way that ad agencies can. Yet its growing advertising sales force leaves some agencies with little comfort.
So what does the future hold for Google?
While I have no doubt that its cash and youthful eccentricity will help it seduce some on Madison Avenue, the fact that there already appears to be lots of hardened skepticism about Google's intentions is not a positive sign.
The ANA's strong opposition to Google's partnership with Yahoo hints that, at the very least, Google will need to bring more than gelato, coffee bars and iPods to Madison Avenue if it's serious about mending the wounds caused by its childhood arrogance.
If there's one lesson Google is hopefully learning it is this - don't burn bridges. You just might have to cross them someday.

Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity mentioned that his school wouldn't oversign a couple weeks ago but didn't go nearly as far as Florida's Bernie Machen, who called grayshirting and whatnot "reprehensible." You can't get away with that in the media, however, and after further questioning he laid it down:
First-year UGA athletics director Greg McGarity is strongly opposed to the practice of oversigning football prospects and in favor of legislation to help curtail such activity among SEC institutions.
"It's just the right thing to do," McGarity told Dawgs247 this week … According to McGarity, "I think it will be a topic for discussion (at SEC meetings) in Destin this year."
"I think you will see controls in place," McGarity said. "Now what that model will look like will be determined later — sooner than later. … I think you'll see it being dealt with at the conference level much like the Big Ten (Conference) deals with it currently."
Wow: someone in the SEC suggesting the Big Ten model in anything is worthwhile. Mike Slive is squinting at whichever wall faces the general direction of Athens right now, trying to burn a hole through it with his mind.
Get The Picture suggests that McGarity's optimism that something will get done is probably foolish since eight SEC schools have a vested interest in the ability to "sign half the world in February." He's right, but adding a second SEC athletic director to the chorus of people saying Something Must Be Done is getting close to critical mass. If the SEC isn't willing to do something about it, maybe the NCAA will.
In conclusion, the SEC is a terrible basketball conference.
Excellent decision. Score one for Brady Hoke:
"I'm not a big fan (of Twitter) at all," he said.
Asked if he would join other "cool" coaches who maintain Twitter accounts to keep fans abreast of what's happening in their program, Hoke said he won't join in.
"I'm not cool," he said. "I've never tried to be cool."
No coach* who has tried to be cool on twitter has succeeded in making their exclamation-filled (or, in the case of Charlie Weis, sober, book-length-Bon-Jovi-concert-memoir-filled) twitter account anything better than mildly embarrassing. If you don't speak the language it's better not to try.
*[Head coach. Assistants are fine. Bacari Alexander's cult of #HALOL is going swimmingly.]
Mount Godin settles down. It's a long time until Tim's next recruiting update so a small update on MI DT Matt Godin, who said something to the effect that he was "done with Michigan" in an article on Rivals. Godin immediately sought to clarify/explain/disclaim the quote with Tom. His brother signed up* here to explain, as well:
Matthew is a very competitive person, and he is frustrated because the new staff has not shown any interest in him despite the fact that he is regularly hearing from many other top programs.
Knowing Matthew's personality, I specifically told him not to say anything negative about any school because I knew some of the reporters would try to elicit such comments. I am very frustrated and disappointed that he did not heed my advice, but he has tried to rectify the situation as best he can by clarifying things with Tom. My parents, my sisters and I have all spoken with Matthew today, and we are disappointed in his lack of maturity and composure.
Each day, Matthew is asked my fellow students at school why Michigan has not offered him, and he constantly has correspondents from recruiting websites asking him about the issue. I can see why he is frustrated, but I do not condone his behavior.
Matthew's dream is to play college football, and he has been a UM fan since he was a child. Both my father and my sister graduated from UM, and I am currently finishing medical school at the University of Michigan. We would love to see Michigan offer him. However, if the coaching staff does not find him to be a good fit, then it's not meant to be. He is extremely blessed to have his current offers, and I know that he will excel wherever he goes. Go blue!
Godin already has Northwestern and Michigan State offers, so there's a good chance that if he's patient the coaches will offer him.
*[His email address checks out in the UM directory, FWIW.]
Bill Simmons image rehab: complete? Hey, remember three years ago when everyone hated Bill Simmons? I spent some time echoing the zeitgeist so I could say he's still way better than Drew Sharp in 2008. It's not like I didn't understand why people were turning on him—even my defense was maybe two-thirds-hearted. The backlash was met with mild push-back along the lines of what I wrote and it seemed that everyone had settled on the idea that Simmons was old and tired and had lost his fastball.
Then he organized and produced 30 for 30, a series that probably claims 30 of the top 50 sports documentaries of all time. He did this on ESPN, a channel that thinks Stephen A. Smith is a good idea to re(!)-hire. Now even people who blame him for all the Affleck movies about Boston* have to admit that The Two Escobars was awesome and The Ocho seems like way less of a bad idea than it did five years ago.
Presenting sort of the Ocho:
ESPN Gives Web Star Bill Simmons His Own Site
by Peter Kafka
Here's Bill Simmons' reward for sticking with ESPN: His own piece of turf, where the star columnist/multimedia experimenter can cultivate a new sports/pop culture site.
Simmons already has his own page on ESPN.com, but this is something much more ambitious, with a dedicated staff and a roster of contributing writers. If you were in Web publishing, you might call it a "vertical". The rest of you might call it a digital magazine.
He's hiring 8-12 people and the thing sounds like something totally different than a newspaper—the sort of thing Fanhouse probably should have been. Klosterman is on board. It's described as a "sports/literary" website, which kind of sounds like The Run Of Play with more Karate Kid and fewer Baudrillard references. Quickish—the new thing Dan Shanoff is doing—has more details and analysis. He's enthusiastic about it. So am I.
Detroit City. (This is irrelevant but one of the Michigan Ultras posted in the comments so there's your tangent.) The Lions In Winter has a great post with lots of original reporting about the guys who bought the Silverdome and are trying to bring an MLS team to Detroit. Their plans are outlandish. I really hope they come off.
There is discussion of a name in the comments; my two cents: it must be Detroit City, and the crest should be a rock, and people should abbreviate them "DRC," and nothing else is acceptable. Here's this thing you can sign on the internet:
Comments that uselessly say soccer sucks will be met by hellacious point drainage.
Etc.: Winner for the most obscure Toomer's corner analogy: "it's more like [Saint] Boniface wiping out Thor's tree and singing amongst the wreckage."

This reed is designed to produce an extremely pure sound and is a favourite of classical players.
"These tend to be the classical player's reed of choice as well as being good all rounders. Full toned, responsive and quite dark, they also work very well as beginner's reeds in that they are relatively easy to control- a lot of this is down to their very fine tip. Traditionally the classical set up relies on a narrow tipped mouthpiece with relatively hard reeds, thereby maximizing controllability. Anyone moving over from Rico should note that the Vandoren reed range are about a half step stronger than equivalent Ricos." email@example.com

This unique drawing, titled "Campbell's Soup", was done by Andy Warhol as a a gift to Paul Morrissey, Warhol''s manager for several years who was integral in the development of the scene at The Factory in its original location on 47th Street. Warhol was one of Warhol's closest associates - making this a truly collectible piece of history. After serving in various capacities on several Warhol film projects, Morrissey went on to direct such films as Flesh, Trash, and Heat under Warhol''s aegis. The drawing bears the inscription "to Paul love" and is signed three times by Warhol, first with his initials "AW" on top of, as well as underneath the drawing, and then boldly along the edge with his full signature (complete name) acompanied by his trademark flourish. Extremely rare with terrific provenance, as it came from the collection of Paul Morrissey, who was still alive when we acquired this work.
The drawing is held in an Association copy of the book Andy Warhol's critically acclaimed "a: A Novel" published by Grove Press, New York in 1968. This is the only novel written by Andy Warhol (written may be the wrong choice of words since the novel was completely taped by him on a tape recorder). From the publisher, "As an artist who sets new images and reveals a culture to itself, Andy Warhol's reputation is firmly established. Originally entitled Cock, it has also had such working titles as SPEEED KILLS, Amphootimum, Co-Pilots, UPss, Or AAI, and Twenty*Four Hours...If an encyclopedia is a concise compendium of a man's knowledge, Andy Warhol's novel is the obverse – a total experience of a daily life raised to a fever pitch of brilliancy, vagueness, hilarity, confusion, insight through the abnormally extreme personalities of his real-life characters".
In the late 60s Andy Warhol, one of the most influential artists of the postwar era, set out to turn a trade book into a piece of pop art, and the result was this astonishing account of the famously influential group of artists, superstars, addicts and freaks who made up the Factory milieu. Created from audiotapes recorded in and around the Factory, a: a novel begins with the fabulous Ondine popping several amphetamines and then follows its characters as they converse with inspired, speed-driven wit and cut swaths through the clubs, coffee shops, hospitals and whorehouses of 1960s Manhattan.
Publisher''s black cloth, minor rubbing to spine tips, top corners bumped; dust jacket, mild toning to upper edges and spine panel, light creasing and rubbing to upper edges; preserved in red cloth chemise with matching slipcase.
Own a piece of Pop Art history. A terrific and important piece of art historical ephemera. Unique.
Signature: Boldly signed in black marker by Andy Warhol, with his initials on top of, as well as underneath, the Tomato Soup drawing, as well as his full signature on the recto.
From the private collection of Paul Morrissey, Warhol's former manager and director of many Warhol films.
Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical (re)production, Pop artist Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. As famous for his quips as for his art—he variously mused that "art is what you can get away with" and "everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"—Warhol drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter, creating works like his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, using the medium of silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. Known for his cultivation of celebrity, Factory studio (a radical social and creative melting pot), and avant-garde films like Chelsea Girls (1966), Warhol was also a mentor to artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His Pop sensibility is now standard practice, taken up by major contemporary artists Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons, among countless others.

pretty cool, they'd feel good on, should make these at some stage x
Jun 16, 2016, 06.47 AMby slitherydee
I'm not sure I'll get around to taking photos and posting a proper review for this so I'm just going to leave some notes about the pattern here: I found the sizing on this one a little big, at least in georgette. Maybe a fabric with more weight would hang closer to the body but in georgette it floats away and looks a little puffy. I'm a 28 waist, 37 hip and made a size 38. I'm going a size down next time. It's not a short as on the model, mine definitely comes down to my ankles and I'm 5'6". It's not low-waisted on me either, it comes up to my navel. One last thing — check the measurements on the cuffs before you cut them out. I found I could not fit my foot through (and I double checked my seam allowance.) Maybe I have huge freak ankles, I don't know, but I ended up adding an inch or so to the cuff circumference to get them on. Other than that it was great, would sew again.

I feel like I should be tired or joggers, but they're just so dang comfortable and easy.

Orlando Bloom Hooked On Baby Flynn's Smell — He Can't Stop Sniffing Him!
The new dad is smitten with EVERYTHING about his six-month-old son…even his baby breath!
Orlando Bloom was forced to wave goodbye to wife Miranda Kerr and baby son Flynn this week as they jetted off to Australia on a modeling assignment. And the actor has revealed what he'll miss the most — baby Flynn's smell!
"My baby is amazing, even his head smells amazing," Orlando tells the Daily Record newspaper. "His breath, the whole thing, you could eat him! He's a big, beautiful boy. He's great."
I'm a new daddy myself, and I agree with Orlando — there's just something about the way babies smell.
Do you agree, HollyMoms? Do you catch yourself secretly sniffing your kids?

323. You are concerned about bothfraud
and scams.
(Mr Hall) It is
324. Yes or
(Mr Hall) Well, if I say "yes", I am answering
a wrong question. The police could not bring a prosecution in
the Welsh case; they did not feel they could find evidence to
prove fraud. It is not a term that I would want to bandy around.
I think I have explained it carefully. There are people who exploit
opportunities and make a lot of money very quickly, and it is
exploiting loopholes in the eligibility framework, and it is generally
being very quick on their feet. I do not think they are the people
everybody wants to help us widen participation.
325. We are talking about entrepreneurs, are
we not, of a certain type?
(Mr Hall) I have heard on the street that "Ferrari
Nick" is supposed to be one of the leading people. If somebody
can get an epithet like that, and be known at that level, that
is when you have to take concerted action. I think the Department
is considering something very similar.
(Mr Ingleson) Does being critical of that private
sector entrepreneurial activity brand us all as "wreckers",
326. What discussions are currently taking place
between the LSC and the DfES in terms of the success of the ILA?
(Mr Stark) Extensive. A colleague who was working
directly with the Department is now on secondment to me and forms
part of that joint liaison group that is planning future structures.
At the moment they are only at the point of carrying out a consultation
survey, which you have been informed about. The kind of idea that
is set out in this memorandum, I hope, will be at least taken
into account in any design principles of the scheme.
327. Can we assume from that, that the LSC will
have a role in the successor of the ILA?
(Mr Stark) We are certainly expecting not just to
have a role, but under the arrangements that were planned we would
inherit the responsibility for the management of any contract,
whether it is with Capita or anybody else, in the re-launched
328. Does that concern you? There was a feeling
that the institutional framework of learning sometimes gets in
the way of doing things that are fast, light on their feet and
get to the parts that other schemes do not reach. There is a sort
of sadness, when I talk to the private providers, the people who
came in, that that element is going to be lost. You heard about
the concerns. Mr Hall, you are shortly to leave to go to the other
side of the fence, as a college deputy principal. We wish you
very well in that.
(Mr Hall) Thank you very much.
329. We are happy you remain unscathed. It is
delightful to have you here because we are having an inquiry in
parallel into FEindeed, we may get you back. Poachers who
have left game-keeping are very useful as witnesses. Do you not
feel that mark 2 is going to be absorbed by the establishment,
in a way? Is that a real worry, that some of the essential ingredients
will be lost?
(Mr Hall) There is bound to be a certain nervousness
in the colleges' sector about whether the extra providers who
are going to be welcomed in are going to be funded from the budget
which they see as theirs. If this is to be funded from new money
and if there is to be an opening-up of providers beyond the public
sector, then that is fine. Those colleges would say, "look
at the results of the inspections; look at the outcome of that;
we have nothing to fear". If it is to be a more competitive
marketplace, we will compete on quality, and that is fine, but
let us understand the ground rules. One of the fundamental points
we make to you in our documentation is that for these areas to
work, they require very clear national policy on who pays, how
much and for what. It is adult provision. What is the responsibility
of the employer, the individual and the public purse? As Michael
suggested earlier, on basic skills we would probably all sign
up and say it is 100 per cent public. We, as a society, have failed
if adults cannot read and write, so we will provide free provision.
What happens when you get to level 3? Should there be any subsidy
to a person in the workplace at level 3? Is that going to be totally
a matter of paying for it yourself, or your employer paying for
it, or using a subsidised learning account, in which case that
is a competitive provision? I think there are some fundamental
issues here. One of the difficulties of the ILA scheme was coping
with fee policy. In many cases, the reason that disadvantaged
people do not show up in your figures is because they were getting
100 per cent fee remission. Again, a coherent national policy
on fees is a pre-condition of a successful approach, I would submit.
330. Mr Hall, some people out there would say
FEFCthe previous situation with TECsthe whole apparatus
that was there before was not reaching those people who were difficult
to get into learning. In a very short and meteoric career, the
Individual Learning Account succeeded in a way in which the organisations
that you were involved in, failed.
(Mr Hall) I would need a better evidence base to reach
that conclusion. I do not know how many
331. We believe the evidence that 16 per cent
of the people that were introduced to ILAs had no previous history
(Mr Hall) Sixteen per cent of which figure, Chairman?
332. Sixteen per cent of total account holders.
(Mr Hall) Is that accounts opened or accounts actually
333. Accounts actually used.
(Mr Stark) Chairman, having looked at the evidence
given to you by York Consulting colleagues, I think they are saying
that that is no better than the proportion of the population at
large. So the ILA programme was not successfully targeted, and
if we look at research on "Bite-Size", it targeted more
effectively. This is a question about pounds for results. £270
million has been spent on ILAs. If it has only reached the average
targeting, and yet with £4 million, we can do more, there
has to be a question.
334. What are the three things you want to see
in ILA mark 2?
(Mr Hall) We want to see a quality threshold. We want
to see it integrated as part of a whole raft of proper strategy,
particularly the workforce developmentwe think all the
research evidence shows it has been most successfulthe
union schemes, the small company schemes. The two research documents
we showed you both said it was most successful in our fee discount
and our pathfinder linked to employers because it was particularly
well suited to that. Thirdly we have to have a debate and a national
policy on who pays for what, and therefore what the funding policy
is for public sector institutions.
(Mr Stark) If I can add to those points, which are
the fundamental points, something about the community; the community
of interests between employer, individual as employee and also
as a member of society, and the state. The state does not have
to be just the Learning & Skills Council; there might be other
bits of the public sector that are interested in developing learning
through such a mechanism. There is a huge possibility there. The
version ILAs that we have at the moment may be useful and replicable,
but we need to go beyond it.
335. Mr Ingleson?
(Mr Ingleson) I have nothing to add to the comments
of my colleagues, sir, and if they are still talking to me I look
forward to working with them!

There is no overall best buy in this sector.
We recommend TalkTalk as the best option as it is top of the score table.
The digital revolution has changed the way we watch TV. Pay as you watch TV packages allow consumers to have access to a vast array of channels and on-demand services.
However, with the growing popularity of cheap competition from the likes of Netflix, how much longer can these packaged services last?
The four most dominant packages are:
All four services offer various bundles at different prices that include access to numerous channels, internet connections and even mobile phone sim cards as part of a package.
According to OFCOM, just over six in ten consumers (63%) reported that they had bought at least two of their communications services together in a bundle in 2015. Dual-play packages of landline and broadband, and triple-play packages of landline, broadband and TV were the most popular (reported to be taken up by 27% and 25% of households respectively).
While we're still a nation of telly addicts, the amount of time we spend in front of the TV is falling as people plug in to a variety of new and developing technologies and media.
The number of people watching TV each week stands at around 54.1 million and this figure remains steady. However, the amount we watch per week is beginning to decrease. In 2014 the average number of minutes of TV, watched on a TV set, was 220 minutes per person per day; 11 minutes less than in 2013. OFCOM reports that this fall, of 4.9% year on year, is the second consecutive year of decline.
It's the younger demographic who are switching off, or at least switching devices. Among 16-24 year olds and 35-44 year olds, average daily viewing has fallen every year since 2010. But this doesn't tell the whole story. While the traditional night in front of the telly might be on the wane, consumption of video content certainly is not.
Computers and smartphones are now more popular than set-top boxes among 16-24 year olds for accessing on-demand and catch-up services. And this age group now claim to use a desktop or laptop computer (57%) or a smartphone (45%) rather than a set top box (40%) for viewing on-demand and catch-up services. This trend looks set to continue.
We summarise our key findings:
Disappointingly all but one company (TalkTalk) score a worst rating for the likely use of tax avoidance strategies.
None of the companies score a best rating for their environmental reporting. Virgin Media, BT and Sky score a middle rating while TalkTalk receives a worst rating.
No companies score a best on supply chain management. BT gets a middle rating. The rest score a worst rating.
Several of the companies (who sell electronic devices) were also rated on their policies regarding conflict minerals. BT scoring a middle rating. TalkTalk, Virgin Media and Sky all scored a worst rating.
For more information on conflict minerals, read our feature which highlights how the production of electronics can fuel conflict around the world.
Sky is a plc but Rupert Murdoch still holds sway through majority ownership via the Murdoch Family Trust. This organisation has its fingers in a number of media pies, USA Today puts the total at 49 major media companies including, News Corporation, Sky, The Sun and The Times newspapers here in the UK, and publisher HarperCollins, along with a raft of media companies in the US and Australia.[4]
Read our feature on Sky TV: Inside Rupert Murdoch's Media Empire
BT is a UK registered plc that is part owned by the German state. It has been criticised by the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions campaign for its partnership with Bezeq International Ltd which it describes as an "Alliance Partner".[1]
On the Who Profits? Website, Bezeq International was reported to provide "telecommunication services to all of the Israeli settlements, army bases and checkpoints in the West Bank and to Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights."
In 2014 the company earned $23 million from a US government contract to supply key communications infrastructure between RAF Croughton – a US military base in Northamptonshire – and Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, a secret base from which armed drones reportedly carry out lethal strikes in Yemen. According to the US military, American forces stationed at RAF Croughton provide "global strike operations."[2]
Virgin Media is no longer part of the Richard Branson empire and is instead owned by US firm Liberty Global.

To the Valley News:
As a longtime Westport resident, I have served as town supervisor, School Board president, fireman and emergency squad, Chamber president and co-chair with the mayor for the mutual concerns.
With these experiences, I have an in-depth understanding of Westport's government.
Dan Connell should continue as supervisor. In this position he has demonstrated understanding and capabilities. He has shown fairness in his assessments of town undertakings and has enlisted committees to have impact in decisions. When necessary, he has placed controversial issues on the ballot enabling townspeople to vote. He has abided by the will of the people. Having a good relationship with outside government agencies. He has helped our community immensely (for example: for having the DEC reopen the brush landfill to take care of debris from the recent storm). Re-elect Dan Connell.
There are two council seats to be filled. Mike Tyler should continue as councilman. There is no substitute for experience which he has garnered. He shows genuine interest in all matters concerning the town. Re-elect Mike Tyler.
Dan McCormick, a retired guidance counselor, is a good choice for councilman, his previous duties include budgeting, securing grants, exercising authority and negotiating. This past experience is invaluable in a councilman position. Being a longtime resident, he is well aware of the needs of Westport and the financial obligations it can support. Having served on the steering and tax committees for the future of Westport project have given me a comprehensive insight of Westport.
Please support this serious and well qualified candidate.
Thank you for your consideration in this most important matter.

Sammy's FAQ's
Getting to the Hostel
Getting Around Santiago
Other Hostel Options
Things To Do
Hostel Photo Gallery
Santiago Spanish Schools
My name is Charles Pankow and I started Hostal de Sammy in Santiago with my best friend Sammy,
an Australian Cattle Dog mix that I brought with me from the United States. Since opening of the hostel last year, I lost
to cancer but his name and spirit lives on in the hostel. I like to say that staying at the hostel is much like staying at a friends house where you have a comfortable place in which you can rest after a long trip. The best part is that everything is included in the price with a great free gringo pancake breakfast, pool table, table football,
5 actually working computers with fast internet, and a living room with a super BIG TV and hundreds of movies to choose from. Sammy is your best friend in Santiago de Chile.
Sammy is looking for people that
are willing to give up a few hours a week (OK, well more like 18) in exchange for the opportunity to live in the hostel free of charge. We even have a dedicated dorm just for the freeloaders with their own TV and DVD player. Interested?
Sammy is an affordable yet full-featured hostel in Santiago Chile perfect for a backpacker looking for inexpensive long-term accommodations or the backpackers at large in search of a cheap youth hostel for just a couple of days . Nowhere else will you get so much for so little!
Located downtown in the sector of Republica in Barrio Universitario, Sammy is a large house with lots of space. The hostel, just off the beaten path of downtown, offers it's guests a safe and comfortable environment from which they can organize their adventures of Santiago, Chile and South America and beyond.

Latin Name:
Psidium Guajava
Guava trees are small tropical trees native to the Americas and valued for their sweet fruit and ornamental appeal. The tree has smooth brownish bark, light green oval leaves, and white flowers. The tree reaches about 20 feet at maturity, and the fruit is prized for its vitamin C content and its musky, sweet, aromatic flavor. When fully ripe the fruit can be eaten raw, blended in drinks, or used to sweeten preserves and jams. Guava trees are grown throughout Southern California and Florida in the United States, and are easily propagated from seeds and cuttings. They have no special soil requirements and are known for their ability to colonize if left unchecked. Guavas need good drainage and full sun. Most nurseries in Guava tree regions will carry young saplings.
To plant, dig a hole 2 ft.x 2 ft.x 2 ft. Replace soil with thoroughly mixed compost and manure. Add a cup of bone meal or phosphate rock. Make an irrigation depression around the base of the tree and fill with water before mulching. Remember not to place the mulch directly against the tree base. Water once a week until new growth appears, then reduce watering frequency to once every two weeks. Some varieties will be producing fruit after only two years.

Remember when Anderson Cooper suffered from an uncontrollable giggling fit on Anderson Cooper 360 last August? Well, it happened again.
This time, cause of laughter was the little-known Polish American holiday, Dyngus Day, which is celebrated after Lent. During Cooper's "RidicuList" segment, he mentioned a common Dyngus Day tradition that involves boys sprinkling girls with water, and girls retaliating by striking the boys with a "pussy willow" branch. You can guess which of the two triggered Cooper's laughing fit.
Check out the segment in the clip below at the 1:30 mark.
After the segment aired, Polish organizations spoke out about being offended by Cooper's comment, Deadline reports. During his laughing spell, Cooper said, "This is so stupid."
VIDEO: Anderson Cooper gets the giggles while poking fun at Gerard DepardieuCooper has since apologized, noting that he wasn't diminishing the holiday, but was rather making fun of himself. " I am concerned to hear that some people believe that I called Dyngus Day celebrations 'stupid' or in any way criticized this holiday. I did not," he said. "While in the midst of a silly giggle fit I said 'this is so stupid' in reference to my inability to stop laughing... I am genuinely sorry if I offended anyone by the lighthearted tone of the RidicuList."Were you offended by Cooper's laughter?

It looks like your Instagram feed may get a little more annoying.
The Facebook-owned company is now allowing some companies to run 60-second video ads on the social media app, Adweek reports. Previously, video ads ran 15 to 30 seconds long.
The move to extend video ads comes just in time for the Super Bowl. And T-Mobile and Time Warner are two of the first companies to try out the longer format.
Ironically, the final message of the extended T-Mobile ad being shown, which features Drake, is "Mobile carriers ruin everything."
Of course, there's no one making you watch the ad. You can still scroll past it. But you will likely be seeing more of the longer ads appear.
An Instagram rep told Adweek several other consumer brands have tested the longer format and will be rolling out ads in the coming weeks.
Check out the extended T-Mobile now appearing on Instagram below.

Although today Carpenter Oak Ltd is much more than an oak framing company, as our name suggests our roots lie firmly in the craft of Oak frame carpentry and we all remain under the spell of this most extraordinary of woods.
The Oak tree has played a truly exceptional part in our collective history. Some may even regard it as quintessentially English, but in fact, the Oak is native to many countries across the world and it has been celebrated, venerated and even worshipped by many cultures over the millennia, and its ubiquity in folklore is testament to its qualities. It has long enthralled us with its majesty in the forests and, from ancient times it formed the backbone to our civilisation – its strength and durability exploited in almost every conceivable strand of construction from cart and wheel making to box and barrel making for the transportation of goods, to bridge construction, boat and ship building and the construction of houses, barns, churches and cathedrals.
The oak, referred to as both mighty and majestic, is used in everything from furniture to food, and found in nearly every temperate region of the earth.
We have used oak for lathe, cladding, shingling, flooring; it has provided beauty in our furniture and been indispensable within many other areas such as food smoking, leather tanning, the ageing of wines and whiskies and even medicine.
Our connection with oak and dependence on it is undeniable and it is indeed worthy of celebration. It carries a deep emotional significance as a symbol of enduring strength and power.
Hardly any surprise then that at a time when the construction industry is heading towards uniformity and disposability, more and more of us are turning back to the assured solidity and peace that large section oak frames can bring into our homes.
Its use in the construction of our timber frames still forms the central core of our work. Read more about oak and its place in our history and culture

RORY COOPER - Before joining Heritage in 2008 as director of strategic communications, Cooper served for more than seven years in the administration of George W. Bush, completing his service as a senior policy adviser at the Department of Energy.
Between 2001 and 2004, Cooper was an aide in the Bush White House, first as associate director of policy and plans in the newly formed Office of Homeland Security, then as associate director of intergovernmental affairs for the Homeland Security Council.
THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION - The Heritage Foundation is an American conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. Heritage's stated mission is to "formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense".
The foundation took a leading role in the conservative movement during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, whose policies drew significantly from Heritage's policy study Mandate for Leadership. Heritage has since continued to have a significant influence in U.S. public policy making, and is considered to be one of the most influential conservative research organizations in the United States. en.wikipedia.org...
The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that lasted from 1997 to 2006. It was co-founded as a non-profit educational organization by William Kristol and Robert Kagan. The PNAC's stated goal was "to promote American global leadership.] Fundamental to the PNAC were the view that "American leadership is both good for America and good for the world" and support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity." The PNAC exerted influence on high-level U.S. government officials in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush and affected the Bush Administration's development of military and foreign policies, especially involving national security and the Iraq War. en.wikipedia.org...
Lets Not Forget: Bush Planned Iraq 'Regime Change' Before Becoming President By Neil Mackay 15 September 2002: A SECRET blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure 'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001. The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: 'The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.' The PNAC document supports a 'blueprint for maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests'. This 'American grand strategy' must be advanced for 'as far into the future as possible', the report says. It also calls for the US to 'fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars' as a 'core mission'. The report describes American armed forces abroad as 'the cavalry on the new American frontier'. The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must 'discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role'. The PNAC report also: l refers to key allies such as the UK as 'the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership'; l describes peace-keeping missions as 'demanding American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations'; l reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA; lt says 'even should Saddam pass from the scene' bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently -- despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the stationing of US troops -- as 'Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has'; www.informationclearinghouse.info...

I love Persian kebabs. The Iranian specialty is full of flavour and charbroiled-ness and it saves me from having to shovel the way to my own barbecue.
I've written about a few places in town like Royal Kabab Express and Ali Baba but they tend to be casual fast food/take out.
Atlas Specialty on the other hand is a comfortable restaurant to sit and dine on delicious Persian specialties. Before or after your meal, you can browse the grocery part of the business which sells bags of huge Persian flatbread, spices and beans.
The platter for two ($31.99) is the best deal and was enough for three. Two skewers of koobideh (spiced AAA ground beef), one skewer of barg (striploin) and one of joojeh (chicken) come with two huge plates of saffron rice with roasted tomatoes and onions.
I'm usually a big beef fan but the moist chicken (which we got spicy) really got my attention.
I'm so glad we also tried a sample of three Persian stews, known as khoresht, ($15.99). The fesenjoon looks unassuming but it's a mind-blowing combination of ground walnuts, pomegranate paste and chicken.
Gheimeh is a heavier stew for a cold day with yellow split beans and chunks of sirloin in a mild tomato base, while badenjan has pieces of fried eggplant and sirloin. All of Atlas' stews are available in small and large sizes.
I got a kick out of Atlas naming a dish after George, the owner of Tunedub, where I take my Volkswagen. George is an awesome mechanic, honest business owner and all-around nice guy, so it's only fitting his name is linked to two skewers of spicy joojeh.
Atlas isn't licensed but there are plenty of beverages to keep you quenched including Persian tea, juices (pomegranate, sour cherry, mango, pineapple) or doogh, a yogurt drink. I don't love doogh but it's worth trying if you've never had it.
Atlas Specialty Supermarket & Persian Cuisine, 1000-9 Ave. SW, Calgary, (403) 230-0990. Open Monday to Thursday 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday & Saturday noon-9 p.m., Sunday noon-7:30 p.m.
