The Who's John Entwistle, Solo In '75
The Who bassman was busy working theatres, halls and arenas across North America on his first tour in his own name in early 1975.
Which member of The Who do you think was the first to go on the road in a solo capacity? The answer may surprise you. It was John Entwistle, who was busy working theatres, halls and arenas across North America on his first tour in his own name in early 1975.
The dates were in support of Mad Dog, already his fourth solo album but the first to refer to his moniker, going out under the band name John Entwistle's Ox. That 1975 itinerary had John playing two nights at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco, after which he played in Toronto, Detroit, Boston and other cities.
Mad Dog entered the Billboard album chart during that run, although it was limited to one week on the survey at No. 192. It featured contributions from redoubtable British musicians such as Eddie Jobson and Tony Ashton and contained all-new material — most of it written by Entwistle on his own save for a co-write with Ashton and another with the band's drummer Graham Deakin. The Dutch picture sleeve single release of the title track is pictured above.
When The Ox went live in '75, there was space in the set for the new song 'Cell Number 7,' but he generally made those solo shows a mixture of Who songs and his favourite old rock 'n' roll numbers. His Who signature 'Boris The Spider' was, of course, part of the mix, as were 'Whiskey Man' and 'Heaven and Hell.'
But there were also revivals for Eddie Cochran's 'Somethin' Else,' Smiley Lewis' 'I Hear You Knocking' (a UK No. 1 less than five years earlier for Dave Edmunds) and Buddy Holly and the Crickets' 'Not Fade Away.'
The 15 March 1975 issue of Billboard carried an interview with Entwistle, in which he explained why he was out on the road solo. "The Who have never worked enough for me," he said. "I like playing concerts. I like going on the road and I like to be able to play a lot of my own material.
"What I'm doing with these oldie types of songs is basically playing the music I never got to play. In England you start working in pubs and you do the top 20 of the day, which is what The Who did. So I never got to play the old rock."
The article concluded with a marvellous example of Entwistle's famously dark humour, as he talked about his statuesque stage presence. "I always thought we'd look like lunatics if we jumped around," he mused, "and besides, someone has to play. But I once got very paranoid because the kids weren't screaming my name.
"One night I had a few drinks and came on stage moving and they started screaming my name. So I thought, okay, I'll go back to standing still. They scream at anything that moves."

Robert Fugah is a professional drumming and dancing tutor and performer. He undertook professional African dance and drumming training in Accra, the capital of Ghana, at the Community Youth Cultural Centre under the government's National Commission on Culture. Before coming to live in New Zealand he taught African dance and drumming for about 15 years in schools and to expatriates both in Ghana and abroad.
Shortly after Robert's arrival in New Zealand, Community Music Junction brought him to Wellington to lead an evening workshop in drum and dance with around 30 participants. Robert quickly revealed himself to be a confident and expressive teacher and performer with an engaging rapport with everyone in the group. His teaching style is clear and well-grounded in the traditional music of his native Ghana, but he has adapted his resources to incorporate contemporary techniques and idioms that are easily accessed by amateur players here in New Zealand.
Robert has had great success running workshops in schools, colleges and adult communities in the Otago region, where he is currently living. His friendly and passionate interaction with groups has inspired many people to further their interests in African drumming and dance. By bringing Robert to Wellington once more; we hope to establish him as an important musical leader in our community music programmes and enable young people in particular to develop interest and experience in this exciting form of musical participation and recreation.
Lala Simpson
Lala, from Madagascar, considers herself lucky that she was born into a family and country where singing is present all the time. For most of her childhood she was part of a community folk dancing and singing group and later she was the lead vocalist in a local band. Since moving to New Zealand Lala continues to study music via a number of church and community choirs and instrumental ensembles. She is a member of the Song Leaders' Network and currently works with the Wellington Community Children's Choir, Wellington Young Voices, Karori West school choir. Lala teaches African dancing, the Children's Choir and is part of the Sing For Your Life song leading team at CMJ

Clairalience (Clear Smelling)
This is being able to smell odors that don't have any kind of physical source. This could smell of the perfume or a cigar/cigarette smoke of someone alive or dead, used as a sign of their presence around in ethereal way.
When our sense of smell is strong and distinct, we may be drawn to working as a florist, a wine taster or a perfume fragrance creator.
I have experienced this clair far less than other clairs. Initial days of my spiritual journey, I used to get a whiff of fragrances such as lavender, rose, sandalwood. These are the times when I would feel very calm and peaceful.
Exercise to strengthen Clairlience (Clear Smelling)
Go to a park, try smelling various flowers and keep a mental note of it.
Next time when you visit the park take few of those varieties, smell them with your eyes closed and try to identify them.

YAGER, HELEN.--The late Luther E. Yager was born in the town of Vienna, May 14,
1849. He was educated in the public schools, and was a farmer by occupation. He
was in the late war as drummer boy, and bugler in the cavalry branch of the
service, and was honorably discharged from the service. May 7, 1867, he married
Helen Suits, of the town of Verona, by whom he had one son, Burton E., who is a
farmer on the homestead with his mother. December 7, 1888, he married Alice W.
Spavin of this town, by whom he had two children: Luther E. and Flossie P. Mr.
Yager died March 2, 1881. Mrs. Yager's father, Christopher Suits, was born in
Stone Arabia, Montgomery county, N.Y., October 19, 1812, and came here with his
parents when a child. March 19, 1844, he married Barbara Wagner, of this town
formerly of France, by whom he had four children: Helen, Christopher, William H.
and Mrs. Mary R. Kilts. Mr. Suits died September 6, 1886, and his wife December
12, 1888. The family have resided on this homestead since 1856. (p. 332-333)*
YERDON, JAMES H., was born in the town of Boonville, N. Y., the son of John, who
was born in Canajoharie, Montgomery county, in 1822, the youngest of four sons
and five daughters born to Henry I. and Elizabeth (Castler) Yerdon. Henry I. was
the son of John, great-grandfather of James H. of Mohawk Dutch ancestry, a
soldier in the Revolutionary War, where he was badly wounded. He was a farmer by
occupation, and spent his life in Montgomery county. Henry I. was a carpenter by
trade and spent his last days in Boonville, living with his son John, where he
died in 1858. His wife died in the town of Canajoharie, Montgomery county, in
1825. John, father of James H. came to Boonville in March, 1837, at the age of
fifteen and worked in the lumber woods for his brother-in-law at $5.00 per month.
Seven years later he purchased 100 acres of timber land and began lumbering and
farming, and later added thereto until he owned 425 acres. He has also been
engaged in the saw mill business, but since 1889 has been retired from the more
active work, leasing his larger farm and conducting the smaller one. In 1846, he
married Lovina, daughter of Jacob Bellinger, by whom he had four children: Mary
E., Emma A. Jackson, James H. and Mrs. Addie Wollaber. James H. was born July 6,
1854, in a log house just a short distance north of the present house that marks
the place, which was erected the same year that he was born, located five miles
south of Boonville village on the west side of the Lansingkill and Black River
Canal. He received a limited education in the common schools, assisting his
father in lumbering and farming until he was twenty-one years of age. February
14, 1878, he married Alice C., daughter of George H. Wollaber, of Steuben, to
which town he moved and engaged in farming. He owns 170 acres of land, and
carries on general farming, but is especially interested in the breeding of
Holstein-Friesian cattle. Mr. and Mrs. Yerdon are members of the Methodist
Episcopal church, he having been Sunday school superintendent several seasons,
trustee and steward. March 8, 1896, Mr. Yerdon was elected for a term of two
years, to represent his town as supervisor. (p. 59-60)*
WAGNER, EDWARD G., was born in Montgomery county, February 11, 1848, the oldest
son of Edward and Alida E. (Gray) Wagner. Both of his parents were descendants of
old Mohawk Valley families; his father was descended from John Peter Wagner in
1709, and whose only son, Lieut. -Col. John Peter Wagner, was a distinguished
officer in the Revolutionary war; he was in the battle of Oriskany, and after the
wounding of General Herkimer is said to have assumed command of the troops and
completed that important victory, which was at the time almost assured; several
of his sons were engaged with him, and his son John was the grandfather of Edward
Wagner, who was born in Montgomery county in 1819, and died in Whitesboro in
1886. Mrs. Wagner died in 1882; she was also a descendant of an officer engaged
in the battle of Oriskany. Edward G. Wagner was educated at Whitestown Seminary,
and located in Whitestown in 1867, where his father had purchased a large farm,
situated near the centre of the village. This he now conducts with his brother
Henry, entirely on business methods, and they are recognized as the
representative farmers of Whitestown. He has several times been president of the
village of Whitesboro, is a staunch Republican and takes an active interest in
the success of his party. He married Ida L., daughter of Jonathan Barnes of
Fairfield, Herkimer county. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner are both members of the Episcopal
church of Whitesboro. (p. 205)*

Feteafete Thinks Colleen Quen's Latest Collection Might Take Flight…. It Soars!!
Tami from Feteafete.com ran a post about the new collection from designer Colleen Quen.
As a huge fan of Quen, I lust after all her creations because of their blend of unique architectural structure and yet they fit every curve and nuance of the female body. In other words, you look awesome.
Her newest collections are shown on her website but Tami featured 2 different dresses:
the Butterfly Dream Gown –which is one of her evening gowns or "art wear" gowns– and looks like it will take flight at any moment– yet it's delicate and uniquely feminine.
My fave was this dress–both on Colleen's site and on Tami's post was the Mermaid gown and the 300 Papillons.. which are stunning.
Calatravas Santiago gown
Check out Tami's post for more on the line.

AbstractMicrobial processes inevitably play a role in membrane-based desalination plants, mainly recognized as membrane biofouling. We assessed the bacterial community structure and diversity during different treatment steps in a full-scale seawater desalination plant producing 40,000 m3/d of drinking water. Water samples were taken over the full treatment train consisting of chlorination, spruce media and cartridge filters, de-chlorination, first and second pass reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and final chlorine dosage for drinking water distribution. The water samples were analyzed for water quality parameters (total bacterial cell number, total organic carbon, conductivity, pH, etc.) and microbial community composition by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. The planktonic microbial community was dominated by Proteobacteria (48.6%) followed by Bacteroidetes (15%), Firmicutes (9.3%) and Cyanobacteria (4.9%). During the pretreatment step, the spruce media filter did not impact the bacterial community composition dominated by Proteobacteria. In contrast, the RO and final chlorination treatment steps reduced the Proteobacterial relative abundance in the produced water where Firmicutes constituted the most dominant bacterial group. Shannon and Chao1 diversity indices showed that bacterial species richness and diversity decreased during the seawater desalination process. The two-stage RO filtration strongly reduced the water conductivity (>99%), TOC concentration (98.5%) and total bacterial cell number (>99%), albeit some bacterial DNA was found in the water after RO filtration. About 0.25% of the total bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were present in all stages of the desalination plant: the seawater, the RO permeates and the chlorinated drinking water, suggesting that these bacterial strains can survive in different environments such as high/low salt concentration and with/without residual disinfectant. These bacterial strains were not caused by contamination during water sample filtration or from DNA extraction protocols. Control measurements for sample contamination are important for clean water studies.

Their construction is however structurally similar to a repeated second quantization of an arithmetic super-symmetry quantum field theory with states labeled by primes. An attractive identification of the hierarchy is in terms of the many-sheeted space-time. Also the abstraction hierarchy of conscious thought and hierarchy of n:th order logics naturally correspond to this infinite hierarchy. We ourselves are at rather lowest level of this hierarchy. Propositional logic and first order logic at best and usually no logic at all;-)
By generalizing from rational primes to hyper-octonionic primes one has good hopes about a direct connection with physics. The reason is that the automorphism group of octonions respecting a preferred imaginary unit is SU(3)subset G2 and physically corresponds to color group in the formulation of the number theoretical compactification stating equivalence of the formulations of TGD based on the identification of imbedding space with 8-dimensional hyperquaternions M8 and M4× CP2. The components of hyper-octonion behave like two color singlets and triplet and antitriplet. For a given hyper-octonionic prime there exists a discrete subgroup of SU(3) respecting the prime property and generating a set of primes at octonionic 6-sphere. For a given prime one can realize a finite number of color multiplets in this discrete space. The components in the hyper-complex subspace M2 remaining invariant under SU(3) can be identified as components of momentum in this subspace. M2 is needed for massless particles the preferred extremals of Kähler action assign this space to each point of space-time surface as space non-physical polarizations.
There are two kinds of infinite primes differing only by the sign of the "small" part of the infinite prime and for second kind of primes one can consider the action of SU(2) subgroup of SU(3) and corresponding discrete subgroups of SU(2) respecting prime property (note that this suggests a direct connection with the Jones inclusions of hyper-finite factors of type II1!). These representations give rise to two SU(2) multiplets and their orbital excitations identifiable as deformations of the partonic 2-surface. Four components of hyper-octonion remain invariant under SU(2) and have interpretation as momentum in M2 and electroweak charges. Therefore a pair of these primes characterizes standard model quantum numbers of particle if discrete wave functions in the space of primes are allowed. For color singlet particles single prime is enough. At the level of infinite primes one obtains extremely rich structure and it is possible to map the states of quantum TGD to these number theoretical states. Only the genus of partonic 2-surface responsible for family replication phenomenon fails to find an obvious interpretation in this picture.
The completely unexpected by-product is a prediction for the spectrum of quantum states and quantum numbers including masses so that infinite primes and rationals are not so unpractical as one might think! This prediction is really incredible since it applies to the entire hierarchy of second quantizations in which many particle states of previous level become particles of the new level (corresponding physically to space-time sheets condensed to a larger space-time sheet or causal diamonds inside larger causal diamond CD).
In zero energy ontology positive and negative energy states correspond to infinite integers and their inverses respectively and their ratio to a hyper-octonionic unit. The wave functions in this space induced from those for finite hyper-octonionic primes define the quantum states of the sub-Universe defined by given CD and sub-CDs. These phases can be assigned to any point of the 8-dimensional imbedding space M8 interpreted as hyper-octonions so that number theoretic Brahman=Atman identity or algebraic holography is realized! These incredibly beautiful infinite primes are both highly spiritual and highly practical just as a real spiritual person experienced directly Brahman=Atman state is;-).
A fascinating possibility is that even M-matrix- which is nothing but a characterization of zero energy state- could find an elegant formulation as entanglement coefficients associated with the pair of the integer and inverse integer characterizing the positive and negative energy states.
- The great vision is that associativity and commutativity conditions fix the number theoretical quantum dynamics completely. Quantum associativity states that the wave functions in the space of infinite primes, integers, and rationals are invariant under associations of finite hyper-octonionic primes (A(BC) and (AB)C are the basic associations), physics requires associativity only apart from a phase factor. The condition of commutativity poses a more familiar condition implying that permutations induce only a phase factor which is +/- 1 for boson and fermion statistics and a more general phase for quantum group statistics for the anyonic phases, which correspond to nonstandard values of Planck constant in TGD framework. These symmetries induce time-like entanglement for zero energy stats and perhaps non-trivial enough M-matrix.
- One must also remember that besides the infinite primes defining the counterparts of free Fock states of supersymmetric QFT, also infinite primes analogous to bound states are predicted. The analogy with polynomial primes illustrates what is involved. In the space of polynomials with integer coefficients polynomials of degree one correspond free single particle states and one can form free many particle states as their products. Higher degree polynomials with algebraic roots correspond to bound states being not decomposable to a product of polynomials of first degree in the field of rationals. Could also positive and negative energy parts of zero energy states form a analog of bound state giving rise to highly non-trivial M-matrix?
Also a rigorous interpretation of complexified octonions emerges in zero energy ontology.
- The two tips of causal diamond CD define two preferred points of M4. The fixing of quantization axes of color fixes in CP2 also a point at both light-like boundaries of CD. The moduli space for CDs is therefore M4× CP2 × M4++× CP2 and its M8 counterpart is obtained by replacing CP2 with E4 so that a space which correspond locally to complexified octonions is the outcome. p-Adic length scale hypothesis suggests very strongly a quantization of the second factor to a set of hyperboloids with light-cone proper time come as powers of 2. For other values of Planck constant rational multiples of these are obtained. This suggests quantization also for hyperboloids and CP2.
- An attractive hypothesis is that infinite-primes determine the discretization as Ga subset SU(2)subset SU(3) and Gb subset SU(3) orbits of the points of hyperboloid and CP2. The interpretation would be in terms of cosmology. The Robertson Walker space-time would be replaced with this discrete space meaning in particular that cosmic time identified as Minkowski proper time is quantized in powers of two. One prediction is quantization of cosmic redshift resulting from quantization of Lorentz boosts and has been indeed observed and extremely difficult to understand in standard cosmology. We would observe infinite primes directly!
I do not bother to type more. Interested reader can read the brief pdf file explaining all this in detail or read the chapter Physics as Generalized Number Theory III: Infinite Primes of "TGD as a Generalized Number Theory".

The No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, Clowney has flashed his edge-rushing skills after being initially limited by injuries
The Houston Texans are trading holdout pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple reports Saturday.
In exchange, the Texans will receive a third-round draft pick in 2020 and linebackers Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin. All players involved must pass physicals before the deal is final.
The news comes one day after the Dolphins reportedly rejected the Texans' offer of Clowney and a first-round pick for left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
Clowney, 26, refused to sign his franchise tender with the Texans and has skipped all of training camp and the preseason.
Clowney was reportedly in Seattle on Saturday and will sign his tender. It could be just a one-year rental for the Seahawks, as Clowney cannot sign an extension until after the 2019 season.
The No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, Clowney has flashed his edge-rushing skills after being limited by injuries at the start of his pro career. He had 9.5 sacks in 2017 while starting every game, and he posted nine sacks last season while appearing in 15 games (14 starts). He has 21 quarterback hits in each of the past two years.
Clowney has 29 sacks over the past four seasons and has earned Pro Bowl nods in each of the past three years.
Mingo, 28, has 198 tackles and 10 sacks in 94 games with the Browns (2013-15), Patriots (2016), Colts (2017) and Seahawks (2018). The Browns selected him sixth overall in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Martin, 23, was Seattle's sixth-round pick in 2018 and registered nine tackles and three sacks in 16 games as a rookie.

CD from Global Village Music, 1999.
"For the throat-singing enthusiasts, this album may deliver some of the best, but that is not all of its magical charm. There's a beautifully mournful melody by a female vocalist, relating the story of the Buryat princess who led her people out of Manchuria, and then sang this song before her execution by the Manchurian army. A number of lovely limbe (Mongolian flute) pieces also grace this recording. To Western ears, these unusual instrumental and vocal delicacies stand in acute contrast with the relatively gruff reverberations of traditional throat singing: therein lies a lesson or two, for those who are perceptive enough to appreciate it. Most of these vocals have traditional accompaniment, including bish khur (a monastic reed instrument), morin khur (a fiddle-like instrument), aman khur and khurmus (Mongolian jaw harps). There are two celebratory songs, with male and female vocalists together, that are especially enjoyable. These talented performers from the Buryat National Theatre in Siberia are justifiably proud of their heritage, and jubilantly share their amazing wealth and variety of customs." -- review by S.M. in NAPRA REVIEW Sept/Oct 2000
"Persons interested in the distinctive throat-singing and other musical traditions of Central Asia will appreciate the excellent quality and rich variety of the musical selection presented on Uragsha: Instrumental and Vocal Music from Buryatia and Mongolia. Uragsha is a trio of traditional musicians from the Buryat Republic... This disk provides an excellent sampling of several different types of Buryat music ranging from mesmerizing chants sung in earthy throat-singing styles to lyrical melodies played on a Mongolian limbe, a high-pitched transverse flute." -- Jaime Blanco, SHAMAN'S DRUM
"The recordings are a bit "raw," just I like them, and devoid of the tendencies to popularize that too often appear in a world music recording. This is the real thing, the mood and instruments from inner Asia... They all convey a gut felt strength not often encountered... There's some very effective "throat singing" on Uragsha, but not so that it detracts from the whole. Each of the compositions takes its course. By allowing them to develop, they acquire a richness not found in more commercial packaging. Kudos to Global Village." -- Richard Dorsett, ROOTSWORLD ON-LINE MAGAZINE
URAGSHA is Sayan Zhambalov: khun khur, guitar, vocals and throat singing; Erzhena Zhambalov: vocals and khese; Battuvshin: morin khur, various types of limbe, bish khur, aman khur and khumus. Uragsha means "forward" in Buryat and Mongolian.

The ongoing opioid epidemic has tragically taken the lives of thousands of New Yorkers as 1,487 of our family members, classmates, and neighbors fatally overdosed last year alone. 2017 was the seventh consecutive year that the rate of opioid deaths increased.
While this is a citywide issue, no borough has been hit harder than ours where both the number and the rate of overdoses is the highest. The Bronx is suffering and we must do something to help those in need.
Often times those who get addicted are not criminals looking for drugs. They are everyday people who get prescribed medication by doctors legally and simply get overpowered by the strength of the pills. With well over a million oxycodone prescriptions filled by New Yorkers each year since 2010 there is no immediate end in sight to this crisis.
Now, as a result of current conditions, the city administration is going to set-up four "safe injections sites" where users can do drugs under medical supervision. One of the four will be in the Longwood section of the Bronx.
While this is a well-intentioned concept, it is not the right answer to this problem.
Instead of working to help get people off drugs, this plan will only enable and encourage them to continue using. Injection sites will do nothing but help people poison themselves and expose communities to these drugs.
By doing this our city is throwing in the towel and admitting defeat. Instead of looking to end the epidemic, injection sites can do no more than attempt to limit the number of deaths.
We must get ahead of this issue. We must be proactive and not react with desperation. We must invest in rehab facilities and give people the information and resources that they need to combat their addiction. It is also critical that naloxone, the drug that counters the harm caused by the opioids, be made more readily available and easy to access so that we can save more lives. Most importantly, we must do a better job of educating our youth on the risks and dangers of opioids.
"You can only get out of a community that which you put into it"-Councilman Mark Gjonaj

Restaurant Design
Setting the stage
When the interior design is right, a restaurant can become legend. James Biber looks at the theatre in restaurant design and some enduring projects from the New York scene

Restaurant design is no ordinary design task.
Other than home design, no design challenge is so intrinsically human as restaurants. Cooking, anthropologists tell us, allowed hominids to become human – and eating food is the most universal of all human experiences. Restaurants combine this primal need with a social context that helps define eating as social, and therefore societal. Put this way, restaurant design addresses the most essential touchpoints of humanity.
Design for dining occupies the world between retail and domesticity, between experience design and functional efficiency, between extravagance and austerity, and somewhere between the familiar and the new. These ambiguities help us understand the attention restaurants have and consequently the attraction of shaping restaurant to its designers: one is able to define an entire world in a few square feet.
While all this may seem grandiose, it's no more exaggerated than our varied expectations of dining out. We are where we eat much more than what we eat. The definition of what constitutes a restaurant is remarkably broad in part to accommodate the wide range of humans and social types. The permutations, like music or art, or for that matter food, are endless.
We can likely agree that restaurant design is more basically human than, say, designing a health club, an office or a shoe store. Our agreement on what makes a restaurant beautiful, successful, appropriate, classic, trendy or vernacular is probably less certain. Because eating is universal, and social eating is nearly so, everyone has an equally valid view of what these places should look like.
But restaurant design is really just a small part of what a restaurant really is. The old saw is that there are five critical components to every restaurant: location, value, food, service and design. And the punch line is, to succeed, pick any three.
An eatery can survive on food, service and value (by which we mean the cost/quality equation) without location or design mattering at all. Likewise design, location and food can overcome service inadequacies and prices that don't make much sense. The 'pick any three' idea establishes a baseline of success, but more than three can elevate a restaurant to another level.
When restaurants hit all the notes and add the intangible qualities that make a diner stand taller, stride with more confidence, look better in the lighting and feel more important because of the service, they are entering the realm of sacred spaces. Few other places, aside from actual sacred spaces, can achieve the level of impact and power that restaurants can.
When designing my first restaurant I was blessed with an utter naivety about the task. It led to a design I could never duplicate, the Gotham Bar and Grill. It's both unique and enduring, and born of a consortium of novices that only 1980s' New York could devise. Four owners with no food experience and a heady sense of their ability to succeed hired an architect with similar credentials (me) and a consultant in the American cookbook author and New York Times columnist Barbara Kafka. The restaurant opened in 1984 and is still going strong.
In 1985, chef Alfred Portale came in, providing the Gotham Bar and Grill with the chef-personality that was becoming de rigueur for serious restaurants. (The owners went for another celebrity chef in our next collaboration, Mesa Grill, finding Bobby Flay.) Portale has held court at Gotham for more than 30 years. And Flay's Mesa Grill stayed open for more than two decades before closing in 2013.
Design works best when fully informed by the owner and/or chef as a full participant. How a restaurant will work, feel, serve, last and sound are all part of the formula, but the genesis for design ideas does need to have a footing in some kind of fixed reality. A chef will do, as will a strong location or focused food idea. In some cases, a narrative and referential place is all that is required.
While the five components I have mentioned are the restaurant owner's touchstones, architects and designers have other, sometimes surprising, hierarchies of design values to consider.
I have always tried to put lighting and sound design near the top of the list: lighting has everything to do with how you look, and acoustics make it possible to be heard as well. The ability to slide a chair back to get up from the table (without an attendant helping) matters as much as the ability to see the room from any seat.
We all love booths, in spite of the discomfort. Design a restaurant outside Manhattan and banquettes are referred to as New York Booths. We designed a restaurant where every single seat was a booth and, in spite of the inherent inflexibility of seating, it succeeded brilliantly.
The ability to turn tables quickly has become a science in some restaurants where waiting diners get wireless buzzers to get them back to the host and queued up to sit within seconds of a vacated table. Reducing this time can allow one more dinner at the same table (and at, say, US$40,000 per seat per year, it adds up).
Perhaps the single most influential factor in the personality of an eatery is the owner. If they are warm and gracious everyone will mimic their grace. We have all arrived at a restaurant been treated like a long lost friend – and we have all been treated the opposite way.
So when a restaurant strikes a cultural chord among enormous swathes of society, and does so for enormous swathes of time, it is notable. When the design remains a significant and consistent feature in a long-term eatery it is especially notable to those of us who design and aim for longevity.
Design is one of the few things that can remain a constant feature of a restaurant; staff and even ownership change, chefs come and go, food evolves over time and locations rise or fall based on real-estate transitions. In New York, when design is unchanged it can be nostalgia (McSorleys or Canters come to mind) or landmark designation (like the Oyster Bar) or even laziness that drives the decision not to change. When change would simply erase the design value of the space – and when the design is so integral to the character of the restaurant that change is unimaginable – we have something unique.
The Four Seasons is just such a place. It has been, from the moment it opened until the present day, a design of such quality, luxury and weight that change is simply unimaginable. (Fortunately, change is unimaginable to the New York City Landmarks Commission as well, which will ensure the design survives past its current five and a half decades well into the future.)
Opening to astonished critical and public reviews in July 1959, the Four Seasons has, and may still have, the most refined modern pedigree of any restaurant since Adolph Loos designed the American Bar in Vienna, but at a truly American scale. At 2,000sqm, the Four Seasons reflects the outsized ambition of Mies van der Rohe, its architect, and his associate Phillip Johnson, played out in a monumental building of nearly classical proportions and American, or rather New York, gargantuan size.
The cost was equally astronomical: US$4.5m (about US$35m today), when the Guggenheim Museum that was being built up Fifth Avenue was US$3m. To this day it's in the running for the most expensive restaurant ever built.
The cost assured every single detail was bespoke, and four entire sets of everything (livery, menus, typewriter ribbon colours, trees and table linen) that changed with each season alongside the food. The art included Picasso, Miro and Jackson Pollack. And the menu itself was almost comically large, with 20 or 25 hot appetisers, 25 cold appetisers and 25 variations on steak.
As nearly everything changed seasonally the space itself was remarkably permanent. Highly geometric with long vistas and even longer walks from downstairs to the bar, from the bar to the pool room. It's organised as a set of promenade spaces, each with its own character.
The Grill Room (now the Bar) is warm and wooden and arrived at from the lower level. Rising up into the vast high room from the compressed travertine lined base below is an expansive act that emphasises the enormity of the space. Half lined with French walnut and half with full height glass walls, the warmth of the glass is helped with the swags of copper chain that line each panel and ripple in the slightest breeze.
The hall connecting the Grill and Pool Rooms is nearly as grand as the rooms themselves – more museum than restaurant.
The Pool Room is focused on a marble pool occupying the centre of the room and making it clear that there's enough real estate to waste a bit for the purposes of privacy and, cleverly, making the central tables as sought after as the ones lining the windows. A similar trick is at work in the Grill Room, with the terraced levels making both proximity and distance from the centre of the room desirable for different reasons.
Presaging the 1980s trope about 'restaurant as theatre', the Four Seasons creates a number of theatrical sets in which the diner is always moving between stage and audience in an effortless and seamless procession. Even the connecting hall is several steps up from the lobby level to make it more runway than mere balcony.
Lined in calfskin panels and more walnut, the Pool Room makes it clear finally that this is entire assemblage from the building to the seat at your table is an intensely masculine affair. The women's bathroom is the perfect key to that, with a separate room for makeup and lined in pinkish marble, it seems remarkably out of place in the clubby space. The men's room by contrast is lined in slabs of grey veined marble as crisp and tailored as a fine worsted wool suit.
That The Four Seasons has not only lasted (it lost money for years) but thrived has as much to do with the democratisation of prestige as with the quality of the experience. In New York, money is the both the literal and social currency.
In London, one can only advance so far without the right name and school diploma; in Los Angeles, celebrity is everything; in Washington, DC, political power is valued more highly than money; but in New York financial wealth is all that matters. It's the great leveller, and if one can pay the check at the Four Seasons one can ultimately dine at the Four Seasons.
No longer the most modern, or the largest, or the most expensive dining experience it is still the oldest and the first truly modern restaurant in New York, and likely in America. It set a standard of design as something to live up to, not just something to inhabit. It will remain intact beyond its current operator, its current name and its current clientele. It may very well outlive us all as a place, and it will always be The Four Seasons, just as the central tower in Rockefeller Center will always RCA Building, regardless of an NBC or GE or Comcast sign.

Happy Monday everyone!!!
Here is a little functional core routine to help you get your week started! To work the core in a functional manner we must integrate the upper and lower body together and utilize the core as the harmonizer between both systems. In this video, I use a Kettlebell and a Cable Machine to get the abdominals kicking into high gear with the rest of the body.
1.) Kettlebell Pyramids- A transverse plane exercise that is great for rhymthmic explosion as well as dynamic flexibility.
2.) Downward Cable Chop- This exercise provides the exact opposite resistance as the one prior. It is also a transverse plane exercise that hits the obliques to a very high regard.
3.) Jump Squat Press- In this exercise we encompass vertical explosiveness with transverse resistance. This is another exercise that will hit the core effectively, but only under the context that we can maintain a neutral spine.

Search for bedbugs yourself, or hire a professional to do an inspection. Some inspectors use specially trained dogs to hunt down bedbugs by scent. Bedbugs' small, narrow bodies enable them to squeeze into tiny spots—like the seams of a mattress or couch, and the folds of curtains.
Seal up any open areas. Glue down loose wallpaper. Caulk cracks in furniture and around baseboards. Tape up open electrical outlets. Finally, move your bed at least 6 inches away from the wall so bedbugs can't climb on.
If you can't wipe out bedbugs on your own, it's time to get the pros involved. Pest control companies have the advantage of using chemicals and other treatments that aren't available to you. They have insecticides that both kill bugs on contact, and that stay inside furniture and cracks to kill bedbugs in the long-term.

Erika Girardi: Things Are Clearly Tense
Erika wishes Kathryn and Faye had met under different circumstances.
My heart really goes out to Eileen in this episode. To lose such an important person in your life is unimaginable. I really hope Eileen is able to find some peace in knowing that she was a loving sister and has honored Connie's memory so beautifully.
Show Highlight
Eileen Davidson Says Goodbye to Her Sister
Kyle's "barbecue" (dinner party) was really pretty but things certainly got interesting. Bella and Anwar's Lyme disease was mentioned during dinner out of the company of Yolanda. It would have been more appropriate to ask Yolanda herself rather than someone else after Yolanda had turned in for the evening. As mothers we should all be sensitive to talking about one another's children--especially if they are facing challenges of any kind.
Things are clearly tense between Kathryn and Faye. It's sad that they are brought together by a tragedy that occurred over two decades ago. I'm sure had they met on different terms they might be friends, as I find them both smart and genuinely kind women. While many things were said, I can tell this is still an unresolved situation and is certainly not the end of conversation for these two.

Sometimes it happens that I don't see a big tentpole film right when it comes out in theaters, even if it is apparently good and pretty much everyone else I know has told me to go out and see the damn thing. Deadpool is one of those films. I like the character just fine, but I'm just not enough of a fan to want to go out and see the film on day one, and due to the film's success I knew that I would see it eventually. I definitely wasn't going to change anyone's mind with my opinion, but after having finally now seen the movie, I don't think I have to. Deadpool is good. Not amazing. Not groundbreaking. Just a lot of fun.
I think the smartest thing about Deadpool is that it understands that its title character works well in digestible chunks. For the uninitiated, Deadpool's entire shtick is that he is the ultraviolent Bugs Bunny of the Marvel universe; he cracks wise and kicks ass with wild acrobatics and occasionally breaks the fourth wall by commenting on how absurd comic book antics actually are. It's a fun gag, but it would definitely get old if the film didn't go out of its way to give humanity to Deadpool beyond his swordplay and juvenile humor.
Told in flashbacks that intercut the film's first big action setpiece, we see Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) before and during his transformation into Deadpool, how he changes from a wisecracking mercenary to a rapidly healing mutant under the ministrations of a scientist claiming to altruistically cure his cancer. The powerlessness-to-torture-to-revenge arc has been seen before in quite a few films, superhero or otherwise, but the film's adherence to convention seems to primarily play into the need to tell jokes and to let the actors do their thing. The crux of Wade's relatability lies in his relationship with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), and the two have a definite chemistry that could easily make one forget that this is primarily a bloody action flick.
And bloody is the operative word here, because this is definitely not a kid's superhero film, even if the prime audience for it is probably teenagers looking to feel more adult by laughing at the bloodsport and sexual innuendo. The jokes are almost uniformly funny, and the violence, though discernably low budget (for a superhero film), is creative and often absurdly hilarious in its own right. This works mainly because Deadpool has two comedic foils on loan from the X-Men as he dismembers bad guys: Colossus, who acts as a moralistic big brother who inexplicably tries to convince Deadpool that he can still be a good guy; and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, a representative of the film's teenage demographic that ironically isn't amused with his antics. Deadpool snarking in a vacuum would likely have become obnoxious, but when he's bouncing off these two broad antitheses to everything he stands for, their reactions are perhaps the biggest reason why the jokes land at all.
If you can't tell, I had a lot of fun with Deadpool, and that's obviously entirely by design. It isn't a groundbreaking origin movie or even a terribly novel concept, since R-rated action comedies aren't exactly new, but it knows what it's trying to do and does it well. Smart scripting and some great performances sustain a movie that could otherwise have been dead on arrival. I may not be an especially big fan of the merc with the mouth, but I do look forward to seeing if Fox can maintain this momentum with the inevitable sequel.
