"If the press is to serve the people, Parliament should not seek to be its master."
"Everywhere in the world there are people whose instinct on being upset is to smash or burn whatever or whoever it is that has upset them. Political maturity tempers their influence in two ways, first by creating a surrounding awareness that other strategies of opposition (such as campaigning, law or simply not caring) might be more effective and second by creating a fairly high threshold for the sorts of sins people have to have committed for smashing or burning to feel like a proportional response."
"The main message of Bob Woodward's new book, The Price of Politics, is not the incompleteness of Barack Obama. It is that cutting spending and long-term government borrowing is almost impossibly hard – even in America where there is strong political pressure to restrict the size of the State."
"As fast as staff are being cut back at Department for International Development, consultants are being appointed to fly around the world business class. Duke University has just been handed £5 million to produce a report on effective aid spending; another US consultancy has been given £10 million to advise Indian state governments on how to run their health services; management consultants for Christian Aid have been given a £24 million contract to advise Indians on how to narrow the gap between rich and poor. So while the Chinese, Germans and Americans compete to build roads abroad, the British are still following a paternalistic programme of advice and handouts."
"Sadly, there is nothing in the early autumn air to suggest that the economic crisis is over. Things still look wobbly, messy and somewhat depressing. There is, moreover, one thing to note: a striking sort of unity among Western governments. None of them knows what to do. All are following the great Micawber's principle: hoping that something will turn up."

Tobacco Kills: Grim Stats on Smoking
August 1, 2014 by Peter · Leave a Comment
UPDATE: "Hazardous Child Labor in US Tobacco Farming"
"If current trends continue, tobacco will cause up to one billion deaths in the 21st century." – CNN
Tobacco companies sell deadly, addictive poison to the public. Consider these grim stats:
Smoking remains America's leading cause of disease and preventable death, resulting in more than 443,000 fatalities annually. More than 8 million Americans live with a smoking-related illness or conditions.
There is enough nicotine in four or five cigarettes to kill an average adult if ingested whole. Most smokers take in only one or two milligrams of nicotine per cigarette however, with the remainder being burned off.
The clay found in cat litter is used in cigarettes as filler. This allows tobacco companies to "weigh down" their cigarettes so that they will fall into the "large cigar" category-helping the companies avoid taxes.
Ambergris, otherwise known as whale vomit is one of the hundreds of possible additives used in manufactured cigarettes.
Benzene is a known cause of acute myeloid leukemia, and cigarette smoke is a major source of benzene exposure. Among U.S. smokers, 90 percent of benzene exposures come from cigarettes.
Radioactive lead and polonium are both present in low levels in cigarette smoke.
Hydrogen cyanide, one of the toxic byproducts present in cigarette smoke, was used as a genocidal chemical agent during World War II.
Secondhand smoke contains more than 50 cancer-causing chemical compounds, 11 of which are known to be Group 1 carcinogens.
The smoke from a smoldering cigarette often contains higher concentrations of the toxins found in cigarette smoke than exhaled smoke does.
It's estimated that trillions of filters, filled with toxic chemicals from tobacco smoke, make their way into our environment as discarded waste yearly.
While they may look like white cotton, cigarette filters are made of very thin fibers of a plastic called cellulose acetate. A cigarette filter can take between 18 months and 10 years to decompose.
Worldwide, approximately 10 million cigarettes are purchased a minute, 15 billion are sold each day, and upwards of 5 trillion are produced and used on an annual basis.
Kids are still picking up smoking at the alarming rate of 3,000 a day in the U.S., and 80,000 to 100,000 a day worldwide.
Approximately one quarter of the youth alive in the Western Pacific Region (East Asia and the Pacific) today will die from tobacco use.
Half of all long-term smokers will die a tobacco-related death.
Every eight seconds, a human life is lost to tobacco use somewhere in the world.
Tobacco use is responsible for five million or 12% of all deaths of adults above the age of 30 each year.
We are not worthy of you, Zahra Baker
February 21, 2011 by Peter · 4 Comments
In a post titled The most important person in the world, I argued that we are only as strong, powerful and important as the weakest link in the human chain. When a little girl is gang-raped, when a child wastes away from preventable hunger, when a woman dies needlessly in childbirth, when a little boy suffers from a preventable disease, we are all weakened, our worth diminished. The highest moral calling is to give to others, to extend a hand to those who need one. The most important person in the world is the one who most needs our compassion, care and generosity, the person who enables us to improve ourselves by helping them, who gives us value because we value them.
Which brings me to the soul-shattering story of Zahra Baker, whose time on earth is unlike anything most humans will ever encounter or endure:
A prosthetic leg thought to be that of missing 10-year-old Zahra Baker has been found in a brushy area off a North Carolina road, Chief Tom Adkins of the Hickory, North Carolina, police said Wednesday. Adkins said that the prosthetic leg is "consistent with" that of Zahra, a freckle-faced youngster who lost her leg to bone cancer at age 5 and developed lung cancer a few years later. The disappearance of Zahra, who had persevered through numerous health battles and wore hearing aids, has made international news. … Family members and neighbors have told reporters that Zahra's stepmother abused her.
The depth of suffering contained in that paragraph defies comprehension. How can such a beautiful soul be put through so much pain? How can we go about our ordinary lives while such mortal agony takes place around us?
I know there's no answer.
And I know we're not worthy of you, Zahra Baker.
UPDATE: From CNN-
Elisa Baker, the stepmother of 10-year-old Zahra Baker, was indicted Monday on second-degree murder charges in the girl's death, a Catawba County, North Carolina, court clerk told CNN.
"The defendant had a history and pattern of physical, verbal and psychological abuse of the victim," the indictment said. The indictment described Zahra as "very young, physically infirm, or handicapped." The girl lost part of her left leg at age 5 and lost hearing in both ears while being treated for cancer.
"The defendant took advantage of a position of trust or confidence, including a domestic relationship, to commit the offense," the indictment said.
Arlen Specter's amazing number and the myth of "success" in Iraq
August 24, 2010 by Peter · Leave a Comment
Let me preface this by distinguishing the many sacrifices by our troops In Iraq and Afghanistan from an assessment of whether the wars are a success or failure. Put differently, putting your life on the line for your nation is noble whether or not the mission is ultimately deemed a success.
That said, I want to delve deeper into the opportunity-cost objection to the Iraq invasion and the Afghan surge.
CostOfWar lets you measure the tradeoffs of the trillion+ spent on those two wars. You can spend hours on the site researching the cops, nurses, teachers and infrastructure we could have paid for with the billions spent on Iraq.
I'd like to focus on one particularly stunning number put forth by Arlen Specter. Granted, he wasn't doing it in the context of the cost of war, but it's a perfect example of why we need to be dubious about the growing consensus that Iraq was a success:
It is my opinion that it is scandalous in this country that we haven't done more by way of combating these illnesses. I requested an estimate from the cancer community of what it would take to make a major attack to virtually cure cancer. We can't talk about curing cancer, but the kind of a major attack which would reduce cancer vary materially. We got back a figure of $335 billion over 15 years. Well, those are big numbers, but they would pay off in very substantial rewards when you consider the cost of cancer is over $200 billion a year. The cost of heart disease is almost $450 billion a year. There are ways and economies within the Federal budget to deal with those issues.
Specter asked a fundamental question: what would it cost to cure cancer? The number he was given was less than half the cost of the Iraq war. To launch a frontal assault on cancer and save innumerable lives.
It is an unspeakable travesty that we can afford to go to war based on lies and deceptions, causing the death and injury of hundreds of thousands, but we can't spend the money it takes to embark on an assault against a scourge like cancer.
There are many reasons Iraq is anything but a success. I've listed a few here. But Arlen Specter's amazing number is one of the most compelling I've seen.

Finding a business gift baskets featuring a winery from northern California's historic wine regions of Napa Valley or Sonoma County is not difficult, but many people wonder if there is a winery to look for which they don't already know a lot about. Many people complain that too many gift baskets feature wines from Mondavi, Gallo or Beringer, which are usually readily available at their local grocery store or even their local drug store.
One of my favorite alternative wineries to suggest in that case is Wellington Vineyards. Started by a father and son team in the small, sleepy Sonoma town of Glen Ellen Wellington has grown from an initial 10 acre vineyard into the still relatively small 35 acre vineyard that it is today. Red wine offerings have led in quality with a focus on the classics such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel (the only native grape to the Golden State).
So I ended up receiving at least four wine gift baskets for my Birthday this year-pretty cool right?
Only one small issue, three of the four came with the same piece of chocolate from Ghiradelli-weird right?

Despite the warmer weather, I still find myself reaching for a sweater and a hot cup of tea. This simple stew keeps you warm while getting ready for hot days - it's a little spicy, a little creamy, and plenty hearty. (Bonus, it makes amazing leftovers, too.) You can see the full recipe right here!
The best thing for 1°F weather is something hot, preferably with potatoes. And crispy bread. This recipe has all of those, and comes straight from Vegan Slow Cooking For Beginners, a book we just received and have really enjoyed cooking from. Especially since we don't yet have a working oven in our new studio, slow-cooker recipes are so essential for us on a daily basis. Recipe & serving suggestions under the cut. xo

Governor Daniels is one step closer to creating two privately managed tollways in Indiana!
The Senate Transportation Committee endorsed the bill Tuesday.
If approved by lawmakers, it would give Daniels the tolling authority to seek out private developers for the Illiana expressway, which would cover 50 miles of northwestern Indiana, and an Indiana commerce connector around part of Indianapolis.
The bill now heads to another Senate committee for further review.

1 tablespoon
1 cup
white sugar
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3 cups
diced rhubarb
1 (9 inch)
prepared 9-inch single pie crust
Great pie, easy with five ingredients. It is delicious without whip cream or ice cream.
2 things didn't work well. I made two identical pies using same batch of rhubarb. We baked the pies as directed and found the rhubarb to be tough n stringy. I baked the other pie about 30 minutes more and that made a big difference. I think I had the oven on 275 so the edges of the crust wouldn't burn. The second thing I decided is that I don't like pies that use flour as a binder. I wouldn't use this recipe again.

DALLAS (AP) — A Texas health care worker who was in full protective gear while providing hospital care for an Ebola patient who later died has tested positive for the virus and is in stable condition, health officials said Sunday. If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the U.S.
Meanwhile, a top federal health official said the health care worker's Ebola diagnosis shows there was a clear breach of safety protocol and all those who treated Thomas Eric Duncan are now considered to be potentially exposed.
COLUMBIA CITY — A real estate purchase means The Lighthouse, a transitional shelter meeting the needs of those in Whitley County, will be able to expand its services.
A duplex located on Whitley Street in Columbia City is now owned and operated by InterFaith Mission, Inc. (IFM), the entity that oversees The Lighthouse.

TC identified the concern as "Balance weights departing from the tail-rotor blades during flight. The cause has been narrowed down to missing weight screws. This failure can happen at any time."

Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives reviews?
- s
- SimSportPlyr Oct 14, 2013 09:19 AM
There are so many DDD joints and Guy seems to love them all, that I'm trying for a national Top-10 (or Top-20) or national Must See/Eat list compiled by an independent reviewer, a blogger, magazine, or simply diners/eaters.
Or, is there a way of searching/sorting Chowhound by "DDD"?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Sorry, I don't know of any. And I understand why you want that, as I have been to a few of the places on the show, and some are good, some merely ok, and at least one fantastic.
As to the "fantastic", I can say with certainty that the Red Iguana in Salt Lake has to be on any top-10 list, because that place is amazing.
re: LurkerDan
I think it is a great show. It dispels the image of heartless chains taking over. There are still mom and pops that truly prepare food with love, and he helps locate them for us. Sometimes it's amazing to see what goes on in the kitchen. And he is always upbeat and cheerful. I like that, too, light entertainment and useful.
re: LurkerDan
LurkerDan, thanks for mentioning Red Iguana. I'd never heard of it.
I checked out their menu just now, and it's really intriguing.
What would you say are the best dishes at the Red Iguana?
A buddy and I are planning a major road trip in about a year, and we might go through SLC, so this spot is now on my radar.
re: SimSportPlyr
On another thread Red Iguana was praised for it's chile relleno.
re: SimSportPlyr
Any of their mole dishes are spectacular. So many places have just one mole, the mole negro, yet they have such an assortment. I really enjoy the puntas de filetes, but like I said, all of the mole dishes are amazing. I don't think it's on the menu, but you can ask them for a mole sampler, which is just a plate with a little dollop of each sauce on it that you can taste with chips, before deciding what to order.
I cannot imagine going to Salt Lake City and NOT eating at the Red Iguana. Note that there are a couple of Red Iguanas near each other, but both are the same and run by the same folks. There is also an establishment in SLC called the Blue Iguana; it may be ok, but it is not the same, and not run by that family.
re: LurkerDan
Thanks, Dan.
It's nice to know of the sampler option. That sounds like the way to go.
re: LurkerDan
re: SimSportPlyr
Red Iguanna is fantastic! Everything is good but the mole's are especially good - my favorite is the mole negro. Enjoy!
re: skytop
skytop, thanks for the reply.

Red Iguana! Their verde and amarillo mole are simply amazing. I grew up on the border and, while the relleno is great, it doesn't compare to the two mole dishes. I live in Austin and my sister lives in SLC. She is required to bring me some every time she visits and it's the first and last stop when I visit her.
re: amysuehere
Curious. Is Red Iguana a diner, drive-in or dive?
re: c oliver
A pinkish lizard .......
re: c oliver
I think you'd have to say it's a dive, even though it's not really.
re: LurkerDan
That's interesting! Didn't get to Red Iguana yet , but I LOVED the fish taco place.
And how about that one with the hand pulled noodles? I think it was someplace I thought I was not likely to find myself, but then I never thought I'd find myself in SLC.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. RED Iguana! Absolutely. I was there (at least once, maybe twice) in about 2002. My wife and I were giving a talk at a conference there , in Salt Lake City, staying at the Marriott-I think it may be the original Marriott. Anyway, we were there with our then 2 or 3 year old son, so,despite the time lag, I recall many details.
What I remember most is the variety of Mole's: it was fantastic. I don't remember exactly which one I had, but I suspect it was the Mole Negro. As I recal, my wife had a Mole Coloradito (I remember the almonds). I have no ides what my 3 year old son ate. One of my colleagues noted that he'd like to stay in Salt Lake City for a couple of weeks, just to try each mole.
So, then we were off to Boise, to visit my wife's family. When we returned to SLC, to fly home, we ate at their other place, closer to the airport. It's been a while (12 years), but my recollection is that the downtown place was phenomenal; the place near the airport (Red Iguana I, perhaps?) was popular, crowded, but not quite as good (foodwise) as the original.
re: mchametzky
Thanks for the mini trip report!
I really can't stand him so haven't watched in a few years. But he did visit Schellville Grill in Sonoma, CA.
We're usually in Sonoma over Christmas and it's one of the places we have breakfast. It's good to very good.
re: c oliver
c. oliver -
Thanks for the reply.
I go to Sonoma from time to time, so I might be able to visit Schellville Grill.
I was trying to figure out how many DDD joints Guy has featured. I figure it's roughly 17 seasons times 13 episodes per season times about 2.5 joints per episode. That's what, around 550 joints?
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to distill it all down to the best of the best without having to watch each episode.
You can trying just searching DDD on the boards that you are interested in or the entire site.
It's more tedious, but you can look at http://www.flavortownusa.com/states to get a list of the restaurants that he as visited and then do individual restaurant searches on the region board.
A quick glance at the location in MA and MD (the states I'm most familiar with), a good number of the places are well received on Chowhound.
re: viperlush
Thanks for the suggestion, viperlush.
I might try that.
re: viperlush
Wikipedia has a list of all the visited locations
re: viperlush
That list is a good indication of why more detailed analysis is a good idea. Of the places in CO he's reviewed that I have been to, none are bad. But if someone was coming to Boulder and looking for cheap grub, Foolish Craig's and the Sink would not be the joints I'd send them to.
It's probably a good list to rely on in terms of not having awful food, and sometimes getting great food. But closer scrutiny is required if you want only great food.
re: LurkerDan
That's such a good point. One of the places he visited in Reno isn't ever awful but it isn't ever particularly good. But, of course, he loved it. I wouldn't hold him up as a great judge of quality so, yeah, finding other recs would be my first suggestion.
re: c oliver
c oliver, I suspect that he always gives positive reviews so that future joints will welcome him into their kitchen.
He's trying to sell a product, the show, not be an independent reviewer.
At least, that's my take on it.
re: SimSportPlyr
And we're pretty much talking LCD - lowest common denominator food. Designed to please the masses. That's why I don't watch FN anymore...but that's a different thread.
re: c oliver
Well, that's not entirely fair. Some of the places, it's obvious that the food is exceptional (and some, I'm sure, it's exceptional but not necessarily obvious to a TV viewer). I'd hardly call the Red Iguana LCD food, for example. But yes, the nature of the show means that some of it is going to be basic comfort food, and the nature of it being a TV show designed to highlight these places means he's always going to be enthusiastic regardless of quality.
re: LurkerDan
The food is always made from scratch, with love. Anyone who doesn't watch the show shouldn't trash the show. It is not Sysco stuff designed to please the masses.
re: Veggo
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but some of the restaurants featured most definitely rely heavily on the Sysco truck.
That's ok, not every place needs to be offering scratch-made-free-range-organic-no-hormone-gluten-free-no-factory-farming food. I want my omelet to cost in the single digits, after all!
re: LurkerDan
If it's good enough for Thomas Keller, I'm not turning my nose up :)
re: c oliver
Good point, it is probably a bit cliche to turn your nose up at the use of "Sysco" ingredients. There's not really an automatic harm in it, and restaurants are businesses after all, needing to control food costs. But there certainly are #10 cans in view at some of the restaurants, and those restaurants didn't can those items themselves.
re: LurkerDan
And those #10 cans may just be larger versions of what I use at home, i.e., tomatoes. If Sysco alone is selling to 400,000 restaurants in the US (and there are Sysco-equivalents), then you know that the majority of those ARE mom and pops and not Thomas Keller equivalents. I just can't connect the dots between DDDs and cooked from scratch.
re: c oliver
i don't understand what you mean by not being able to "connect the dots."
if you watch the show, you can see (especially in earlier episodes where there was more cooking and less bullshit) which cooks use what ingredients.
re: c oliver
it is a nebulous term, i'll agree.
i think you can kinda sorta tell if you watch the cooking. some of the folks use a lot of bulk ground dried spices, colouring agents and soup bases, some don't.
re: c oliver
Obviously, there isn't a definition. Is it cooking from scratch if someone makes their own pasta sauce from canned ingredients (versus using canned pasta sauce)? Or should one be chopping tomatoes to claim that one is cooking from scratch? Some of the joints grind their own meat, and others obviously buy pre-ground. Are both cooking from scratch?
Regardless of the definition, it is obvious that not all DDD joints are created equal, regardless of how much their food is "comfort" or "working class" food. While I'm sure they're all working hard to please, some are clearly paying more attention to the quality of the food. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that.
re: LurkerDan
I don't disagree with you. I also know that plenty of my favorite breakfast joints have the food service truck pulling up out back. And that the place in Reno that he visited has it also. That doesn't mean the food doesn't taste great. I guess my point is that I would use other criteria for dining choices than what DDD/GF features. The place I mentioned in Sonoma is good but we have three other places when we visit that area that are better. And we found all on CH. So if I had one breakfast in a community, I'd opt for a CH rec before a feature on his show.
re: c oliver
"So if I had one breakfast in a community, I'd opt for a CH rec before a feature on his show."
Absolutely 100% agree.
re: LurkerDan
LurkerDan, exactly!
There is apparently a wide variation in quality among the DDD joints, but it's hard to discern that from Guy's shows.
He's tough to take (Fieri) but I find the DDD's range from boring schlop (basically chili sauce on spaghetti) to really interesting and well thought out culinary places.
The places that scratch make everything, charcuterie, smoke their own pastrami, duck, etc...even if it is just for simple sandwiches are places I would like to visit.
Places that put grilled cheese sandwiches outside of hamburgers are not.
re: Owtahear
hey, don't diss chili sauce on spaghetti!!
As for DDD, I have eaten at a few of the places featured and found them good and usually good value for the money. And I agree with those who point out that at least they are local places and not chains, and its good to support them. That being said, when I ate at places on DDD I chose them as much for the dishes featured as the fact that they made the show. I'm always willing to try something that looks good based on ingredients and preparation. My husband will watch the show and pick up on specific cooking techniques and say "let's try that at home." - and we enjoy trying to recreate the dishes. And it is also true that there are places on the show I know about and would NOT consider visiting (either because I have heard from others not-so-good stuff or more likely because they are meat-centric and I am married to non meat eater). And I admit to being curious about the identity of the place in Reno that coliver mentions above...I live in Reno and was not aware of any DDD visits here.
re: janetofreno
Gold 'N Silver is the one I was referring to. We used to go occasionally as Bob used to go there when he was in high school. That was the only reason.
re: Owtahear
Here's my biggest DDD pet peeves:
1) Guy Fieri. OK, I can stop there.
Ground Beef (que up "80/20"? with Fiori looking into the camera like he is solving E=MC2)
Oven temp (400deg?)
His fear of eggs. I mean come on, you are a chef!!!
And I hate the joints who basically make hamburger helper with schlop sauce......
re: Owtahear
Fear of eggs?????
I realized also that the place in Sonoma is neither a diner, a drive in or a dive. So how do they qualify these places?
#1 is mine also :)
re: c oliver
I think Guy said that since the place in Sonoma (and others) ain't a DD or D, they call it a "local favorite" or somewhich like that.
re: Gastronomos
Well, in a place like Sonoma that could be quite fancy! Not that Schellville Grill is.
re: Owtahear
How about his fear of getting dirty?
I don't see Guy "loving them all". He does make comments that some things he tries at some places are servicable, if not great.
The show, and Guy, focus on the one or two things on a menu that are great. If you or I go and order something else... well, in my experience, it's usually a bummer.
That and the few places near me that I have tried, all have been less than exciting.
My list of DDD that I have tried:
White Manna Hamburgers
358 River St
Hackensack, NJ 07601
Thouroughly forgetable.
The Pit Stop
1706 Sunrise Hwy
Merrick, NY 11566
Completely Horrible.
The Sparrow Tavern
24-01 29th Street
LIC, Queens, NY 11102
Hipster spot with good drink and food.
The whole neighborhood is a mecca for great food.
The website lists those lamb ribs at $16, but when the bill came they were $28. As good as they were, that left a bad taste in my mouth.
84 Hillside Ave
Williston Park, NY 11596
Good Ice Cream, nothing to write home about.
Guy did make an indifferent comment about the marinara sauce here being "simple". No accolades for the food from Guy or the show, but here on CH some say try the pasta with cauliflower.
Defonte's of Brooklyn
379 Columbia Street
Brooklyn, NY 11231
I used to go when I worked in Brooklyn for a summer nearly 20 years ago.
It was EXCELLENT back then... I haven't been since.
re: Gastronomos
"I don't see Guy "liking them all"."
Admittedly, I have only watched 15-20 episodes, so probably (apparently) I missed the ones where he didn't rave about the food.
re: SimSportPlyr
If you don't like Guy or the show, you might only see him "liking" everything.
I like the show. Guy is OK.
I watch it and listen with a keen ear for what he says.
The marinara sauce at Hildebrandt's on one episode, for example, he was less than impressed with. And he showed it.
re: Gastronomos
Outwardly, Guy likes and raves about everything. But it is true, if you watch the show regularly and read between the lines, you can certainly see some more detail. I think it's far easier to tell which places he truly thinks are outstanding than it is to tell which places left him unimpressed, because he still talks positively about those places, so you need to discern that he's not positive enough in his positivity, if that makes sense. That's a weird way to try and draw judgments about places that you have never patronized.
re: LurkerDan
Just seems like a weird way to plan restaurant eating.
re: LurkerDan
I agree. I can almost always tell when he likes a place, versus when he's just "meh" about it. If its a double segment one, as in "and after the commercial break we'll be making...." That to me is a good sign. He's usually more enthusiastic and detailed in his praises of the places he really likes, also. I know when the person just gets a "that's some good Mac and cheese, man, keep up the good work" he's not all that impressed.
re: SaraAshley
When he really likes something he barely talks about it. He just chows down and goes back for seconds.
The more he praises a dish, particularly if he uses his standard food lexicon, the less he seems to really like it.
re: LurkerDan
'not positive enough in his positivity'. <- That's a great way to put it!
LurkerDan, a few weeks ago, I started picking up on that, that he would rave about some dishes, but only say mildly positively things about other dishes.
Still, I think I learn a lot more about the DDD food from forums than from Guy's show.
re: LurkerDan
I don't know if I, or anyone, would watch a show where a Guy would eat in a place and say the food sucks and walk out. It works for Robert Irvine cause he "fixes" it. Guy ain't doin' nothin' but eating, commenting and leaving. I "read" his comments and take them how they're served. I see a lot of things he doesn't like. Or like much. Pigs ears and eggs are the least of which that come to mind.
re: Gastronomos
I don't dislike Guy, actually. I'm essentially neutral about him. I recognize that criticisms others have about Guy, but he doesn't bug me a lot.
I didn't see the Hildebrandt's episode.
re: Gastronomos
I will add La Isla in Hoboken to the tri state list. Great food every time I have gone or have had delivery.
With regards to his stops in New Orleans, Katie's, Surrey's Cafe and Creole Creamery are all excellent.
He did Parasol's for the roast beef poboy, I think its decent but not the best in New Orleans
re: roro1831
Excellent. Thanks, roro1831.
I've been to several DDD places, most of them before they were on DDD.
My nominees for a top 10 or 20 list:
Red Iguana in SLC(been eating mole there for probably 20 years, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants anywhere)
Louis Mueller's in Taylor, TX (maybe not the very best BBQ joint in Texas but one of the best)
Cecilia's in Albuquerque(can be hit and miss but makes my list solely on the quality of the red chile)
re: Chimayo Joe
Chimayo Joe, thanks for the recommendations!!
I'm adding those to my Must Do List.
re: SimSportPlyr
If you make it to Central Texas, skip Mueller's and go straight to Franklin's. Mueller's has a lot of charm, but the food has gone downhill of late.
Guy has been to several places in Kansas City. Skip Grinders. I know the owner is one of Guy's buddies but it is average bar food. 2 blocks east of Grinders is The Brick. Guy "loved it." But it really is awesome. It is a dive with great food, a great owner and good times.
Forte in Vegas is so good we ate there twice on our last trip.
As for BBQ in KC that he recommends, I will not comment. I am on a BBQ team so I think I should stay out of the typical OK Joe's, Gates, Bryant's discussion.
For the record, I came close to being "star-struck" with Guy.
In Fall 2011 I was driving across the Lions Gate Bridge here in Vancouver when I spotted a beautiful red '68 Camaro convertible in traffic ahead of me. What was strange was the passenger was standing up in the passenger seat with a big video cam, alternating between shooting in front of, then behind, the car. My brain did a quick 1-2, thinking of a CH thread where we've been told Fieri's in town:
Led me to conclude on the spot that was his car, being driven by his production crew, over to North Vancouver to visit the Tomahawk Cafe. I tried hard to pull alongside Guy's Camaro while in traffic and managed to stay within a couple of cars' lengths from it. Only much later (after DDD ran the episode) did I realize I was actually caught in their intro footage, in the first two seconds (the white 2004 Subaru Outback wagon in the rightmost lane):
And also me changing lanes behind them the sideview mirror shot :-)
I guess in a way I was stalking them !
I've been thinking about this post for a while - but it's finally clicked for me that DDD is a show that I would categorize mostly as a travel program more so than a show about restaurants, cooking or food. Each restaurant that makes it on the show is presented as a great place to visit due to ambiance, service, "local color", and food.
But because of this, sometimes I think that non-food reasons can heavily impact what makes the show. Every episode of Bourdain's shows that have been shot in places I've lived/visited have featured a range of places I found tasty, mediocre, and in one case awful. In the awful case (Egypt), I feel that it was awful for me because he went with a camera crew, and local guide to essentially what's a tourist location. When you then go as a tourist, you get the full "tourist trap" treatment - and the result was dreadful service, questionably steep prices, and poor food.
I'm personally a fan of watching DDD, but would definitely double check a restaurant that made it on the show before visiting.
re: cresyd
I don't learn much about places from DDD. But Bourdain's shows teach me a lot about places I've not been. And not to digress far from DDD, I think the shows where Bourdain and his "guide", Amir, were together were the best and funniest.
re: LotusRapper
This takes the discussion a bit far afield - but I pretty strongly disagree. Given where I've visited/lived and episodes of Bourdain's that I watched, they've been poor practical travel guides. They're inspiring, but no more a straight guide on "how to visit x" than DDD would be a straight guide on "where to eat when in y". Both require extra verification and planning that go well beyond "let's do everything we've seen on this show!".
re: cresyd
Hmmm, maybe you have some special/VIP access to places that the rest of us don't have, but if you ever go to Uzbekistan I kind of doubt you'd be taking part in an afternoon prayer in a mosque or being invited to attend a traditional Uzbek wedding. Bourdain did that on Season 1 of NR.
re: LotusRapper
I don't think I entirely understand your comment.
Is the point that Bourdain's show offers educational moments where he visits events that the average tourist couldn't get to? You could argue that the access Guy gets on DDD (having a chef or owner of a place walk him through the creation of a dish or two) is also quite special/VIP. But then the issue remains what the viewer finds more interesting. Smoking ribs vs attending an Uzbek wedding - different people will have their own ranking of what's more interesting.
My point was specifically regarding the food establishments Bourdain features on the show as a guide for where the viewer should think of visiting. I think that a number of food places are chosen due to how they fit within the narrative of the "travel story" he wants to tell more so than the quality of the food. In his Ireland episode, he featured one market in Dublin as part of a "Dublin is a multicultural city" narrative. It was this Middle Eastern/Indian market that I was familiar with when I lived there, and they had prepared food for sale dying beneath heat lamps like hours old samosas. I personally wouldn't recommend eating those as even a mediocre option.
I guess my point was that as travel entertainment, I see the two shows occupying the same space. Different people will enjoy one over the other - but neither show is a substitute for a Lonely Planet book/search on CH.

Patch 4.1 Public Test Realm Notes - March 22
Updates to the patch notes below can be found in red. Last updated March 22, 3:35 PM PDT.
That's right, folks. Development on the first post-Cataclysm content update for World of Warcraft is well underway! We've opened up the Public Test Realms to bring players a healthy dose of the dungeons, class changes, and other features we've been working on for patch 4.1. "What will we find on the test realms?" you ask? (You did ask that, right?) Well, let me tell you!
The Gurubashi Tribe Persists
Originally a 20-player dungeon released in patch 1.7, Zul'Gurub will once again open its gates, featuring updated lore, all-new encounters, achievements, and improved loot! Zul'Gurub is now a level-85 five-player Heroic difficulty dungeon. To provide a new tier above the current Cataclysm dungeons, players can expect to find epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is 346.
The Return of Zul'Aman
Ever a player favorite, the level-70 ten-player dungeon of Zul'Aman is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic five-player dungeon. Zul'Aman will join Zul'Gurub in a new Dungeon Finder tier of Heroic dungeons, providing epic-quality item level 353 loot. The minimum average item level to enter this Heroic dungeon is also 346. While Zul'Aman will be more of a throwback to the original dungeon featuring many of the same encounters, players can expect to find some updated gameplay mechanics, as well as new environment textures and lighting.
With the Zuls returning, you may be wondering about the unique mounts that were once contained therein. New versions of the rare raptor, tiger, and bear mounts will be available, while the old versions of these mounts will remain unique to those who already have them. We'll reveal more about how these updated mounts can be obtained in the future.
Class Design
While we do intend to make fewer balance changes in patch 4.1, you can still expect to find a fair number of updates. Below are just a few we'd like to share with you right now. Keep in mind these changes don't encompass the entirety of the 4.1 changes, nor do the initial Public Test Realm patch notes.
To start, we want to do a better job of balancing the AoE power of the different damage-dealing specs. You can expect to see some changes to this end made throughout the testing process.
The warrior ability Inner Rage is now available at level 56. It was intended to solve an excess rage problem that largely isn't affecting warriors anymore. We've added a replacement ability for warriors at level 83: Rallying Cry.
Word of Glory: We want Retribution and Protection paladins to have reasonable healing on themselves or others, but we know paladins sometimes feel like they can't use their Holy Power on anything but their heals in some situations. We'd rather these two specs spend most of their Holy Power on damage-dealing abilities, with occasional healing.
More To Come
We're still hard at work on additional features, balance updates, and bug fixes for patch 4.1 and beyond. We look forward to sharing more information with you in the days and weeks ahead as development continues. Until then, have a look at the PTR patch 4.1 notes we've prepared. As always, these notes are not final and will continue to be updated regularly as we go through the iterative testing process, so be sure to check back often.

Important: These patch notes are not final. Additional updates will be made, and all existing changes are subject to revision during the course of the testing process. More information regarding patch 4.1 can be found here. Visit our Public Test Realm forum for more information about the testing process.
- Flying mounts can now be used in Ghostlands.
- Resilience scaling has been modified for linear returns, as opposed to increasing returns. Under the new formula, going from 30 resilience to 40 resilience gives players the same increase to survivability as going from 0 to 10. Resilience now scales in the same way armor and magic resistances do. A player with 32.5% damage reduction from resilience in 4.0.6 should see their damage reduction unchanged in 4.1. Those with less than 32.5% will gain slightly. Those with more will lose some damage reduction, increasingly so as their resilience climbs.
- A dead player can now be resurrected by targeting them using the Party or Raid Frame even if they have released. No more hunting for corpses.
- A new feat of strength with an associated title, "the Camel-Hoarder", has been added for players that have bested Dormus and obtained the Reins of the Grey Riding Camel -- because there must always be a Camel-Hoarder.
Rated Battlegrounds
- The achievements to win 100 rated Battlegrounds have been renamed to "Veteran of the Alliance" and "Veteran of the Horde", and now award those titles.
- Achievements to win 300 rated Battlegrounds have been added, awarding the "Warbound" and "Warbringer" titles to the Alliance and Horde respectively.
Arathi Basin
- The achievement "We Had It All Along *cough*" now requires the player to win Arathi Basin by 50 points or less, up from 10 points or less.
The Battle for Gilneas
- The achievement "Jugger Not" now requires the player to win The Battle for Gilneas by 100 points or less, up from 10 points or less.
- The achievement "Out of the Fog" requires the player to defend 2 bases in a single battle, down from 3.
- The achievement "One Two Three You Don't Know About Me" requires the player to assault 2 bases in a single battle, down from 3.
- The achievement "Not Your Average PUG'er" now requires 10 total flag defenses, down from 50.
- The achievement "Battle for Gilneas All-Star" now requires a single flag assault and flag defense in a battle, down from 2.
- Rated Battlegrounds
- All non-damaging interrupts off the global cooldown will now always hit the target. This includes Pummel, Shield Bash, Kick, Mind Freeze, Rebuke, Skull Bash, Counterspell, Wind Shear, Solar Beam, Silencing Shot, and related player pet abilities.
- Several persistent ground effects now display different visuals for hostile and friendly players. The following spells have the same visual effects for friendly players, but new alternate visuals for hostile players: Ring of Frost, Consecration, Desecration, Wild Mushroom, Flare, Ice Trap, Power Word: Barrier, Smoke Bomb, and Hand of Gul'dan. As a general rule, the alternate effects have a red tint or hue indicating they are created by an enemy player.
- Dark Simulacrum now works on numerous additional spells in dungeon encounters.
- Raise Ally has been redesigned to be a battle resurrection, analogous to Rebirth. It is instant cast, but costs 50 Runic Power to use, and has a 10-minute cooldown. It shares the same global battle resurrection cap with Rebirth and Soulstone.
Talent Specializations
- Blood Shield now only works while in Blood Presence.
- Death Strike self-healing no longer generates threat.
- Blood of the North (passive) now permanently converts both Blood Runes into Death Runes. There is no longer any proc interaction with Blood Strike required to activate Death Runes.
- Frost Strike now deals 130% of weapon damage, up from 110%.
- Howling Blast damage has been increased by 20%. To compensate, the area-of-effect splash now does 50% of the single-target damage, down from 60%. The net result of this change leaves the area-of-effect damage roughly the same as 4.0.6 numbers. In addition, Howling Blast now has a facing requirement.
- Desecration no longer triggers when an applicable strike hits a snare-immune target. This is primarily to avoid unnecessary spell effect clutter during boss encounters.
- Blood
- Glyph of Raise Ally is now Glyph of Death Gate, and makes Death Gate cast 60% faster.
- Cyclone duration has been reduced to 5 seconds, down from 6.
- Efflorescence has a new spell effect.
- Lifebloom's bloom effect has been reduced by 20%.
- Prowl has a new icon.
- Stampeding Roar's duration has been increased to 8 seconds, up from 6. The movement speed effect has been increased to 60%, up from 40%.
- Swipe (Bear) cooldown has been reduced to 3 seconds, down from 6.
- Druids now innately have 100% pushback protection from damage while channeling Tranquility.
Talent Specializations
- Starsurge damage has been reduced by 20%.
- Solar Beam is now more responsive when enemies move into or out of it.
- Feral Swiftness now also causes Dash and Stampeding Roar to have a 50/100% chance to instantly remove all movement impairing effects from the affected targets when used.
- Gift of Nature (passive) also reduces Tranquility's cooldown by 2.5/5 minutes.
- Efflorescence has been redesigned. It creates a healing zone at the feet of a Swiftmend target, but this healing zone now restores health equal to 4/8/12% of the amount healed by Swiftmend to the three most injured targets within 8 yards, every 1 second for 7 seconds. This periodic effect now also benefits from spell haste, but the individual ticks cannot be critical effects. In addition, Living Seed is no longer a prerequisite talent for Efflorescence.
- Malfurion's Gift now reduces the cooldown of Tranquility by 2.5/5 minutes.
- Balance
- Glyph of Rake is now Glyph of Pounce, which increases the range of Pounce by 3 yards.
Druid Bug Fixes
- The troll druid models for Flight Form and Swift Flight Form has slimmed down to be more in scale with other druid flight forms.
- Deterrence no longer requires a melee weapon to be equipped.
- Explosive Trap now has a new spell effect.
- Master's Call now has a new spell effect.
- Multi-Shot damage has been increased by 250%.
- Tame Beast now tames pets to match the hunter's level, rather than 3 levels below.
- The Feed Pet ability now instantly heals 50% of the pet's health. Cannot be used in combat. Requires diet-appropriate food.
The Happiness/Pet Loyalty System has been removed. Hunters will no longer have to manage Happiness for their pets, and the previous damage bonus for pets being happy will now be baseline for all tamed pets.
- Bloodthirsty no longer generates Happiness.
- Carrion Feeder no longer restores Happiness.
- Guard Dog no longer causes Growl to generate additional Happiness.
- Glyph of Mend Pet is now Glyph of Greater Proportion, which increases the size of the pet slightly.
Hunter Bug Fixes

Lisa got a Snuggie for her birthday!
And yes, she is as happy as the people in this Snuggie commercial!
While listening to Phillips Craig and Dean earlier today, Lisa had a moment with God...in her "prayer closet" Snuggie.
October 4th means we're reading Proverbs 4 today! If you're just joining us, jump in on today's Proverb and finish out the month with us. You can read the rest the first few days of November. See if your friends at church or work want to read with us and "get wisdom". blessings, Lisa:)
Proverbs 4 (New International Version)
1 Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.
2 I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.
3 When I was a boy in my father's house, still tender, and an only child of my mother,
4 he taught me and said, "Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor."
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.
11 I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.
20 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.
27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by Biblica
Please join us as we read through the entire book of Proverbs! We're seeking wisdom and direction from heaven for 31 days in 31 chapters.
Proverbs 3 (New International Version)
2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;
22 they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.
23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble;
24 when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.
27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"— when you now have it with you.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
30 Do not accuse a man for no reason— when he has done you no harm.
31 Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways,
32 for the LORD detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.
We are reading through the book of Proverbs in the month of October! One proverb a day for each day of the month, 31 in all. Even if you missed starting with us yesterday, you can start today! Come back tomorrow for Proverb 3. blessings, Lisa
Proverbs 2 (New International Version)
2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
3 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,
13 who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
16 It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. [a]
18 For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
20 Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

What a difference a year makes.
This time last year, Washington DC was in the beginning of the most mediocre quarterback competition the NFL has ever seen. Many Redskins fans were feverishly hoping that Washington would draft a quarterback. Numerous NFL Draft experts had penciled in Blaine Gabbert for the position – I'll admit I eventually became a believer.
As it turned out, Washington passed on a quarterback in the draft. Inexplicably, they passed on every single quarterback available in favor of the two quarterbacks they had on the roster the previous year – Rex Grossman and John Beck.
For the record, the strategy wasn't so bad. Neither quarterback is an NFL starter but choosing to bypass other options allowed the Redskins to make critical improvements in other areas of the team. Three of the best draft picks the Redskins made in 2011 – Ryan Kerrigan, Jarvis Jenkins and Roy Helu – would not be with the team had Washington chosen to draft a quarterback early. This strategy also was designed to help the Redskins cap situation for the future – a strategy which failed only because of the overzealousness of the NFL Commissioner's office to enforce a rule that doesn't exist.
The quarterback competition in 2011 divided Redskins fans as each prospective QB had their supporters and detractors. Fast forward to the present day and there are now two new quarterbacks being discussed.
When the Washington Redskins made the biggest pre-draft trade in NFL history, a buzz began in Washington. Robert Griffin III was to be the new target and finally the Redskins would have the franchise quarterback they had waited for. That is, until Baylor's pro day.
After seeing what RG3 is potentially capable of at his pro day, more and more NFL commentators are getting behind the former Baylor quarterback. All of a sudden, we are starting to hear talk that it may be Griffin that goes #1 instead of Andrew Luck.
What reaction has this possibility had from Redskins fans? You'd think there would either be an excitement that the former Stanford quarterback may fall to #2 or a dismissal of the possibility as an unlikely scenario. Instead, the fans have responded with shock at the thought that Andrew Luck may be the Washington quarterback instead of RG3.
In my view, this is absolutely ridiculous. Have people forgotten just how good Andrew Luck is? Robert Griffin III is an incredible athlete and has the potential to be an elite quarterback in the NFL. However, Andrew Luck is unique in that he is quite possibly the best pure quarterback prospect the NFL has ever seen. There hasn't been a quarterback come out of college of this quality since Peyton Manning and arguably Luck is even better than that.
I have a message for Redskins fans as a Washington fan myself. For years, we have waited for the chance to get a franchise quarterback. Why must there be this possibility that Andrew Luck could be a Redskin be a problem? At the 2012 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins will get the quarterback that has been anticipated for a generation. Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III – it doesn't matter. Both are worthy candidates.
So Washington Redskins fans, fear not – we must be grateful for what we have. We are lucky to be getting such a terrific quarterback. Any talk that getting Andrew Luck would be a bad thing is a sign of only one thing – a fan base that desperately wants to win.
The time of the Washington Redskins is coming. It's time to celebrate the coming of a new franchise quarterback – be it Robert Griffin III or Andrew Luck.

A huge thank you to our friends Anna and Kevin at AKA photography for the delicious pic of one of our corsets as worn by the lovely model Anna.
Here is the link for the corset-cd-830
Take Someones Breath Away
With A Corset From Breathless Corsets
Don't forget to Breathe
Due to issues out of our control, Corsets may take from to three to six weeks to arrive at your destination. While we keep a large stock of corsets at both locations, we do not stock every size or colour. We do however work with each customer closely to ensure satisfaction and happiness. If you require a corset for a certain date, please email us before ordering to ensure you are not disappointed. firstname.lastname@example.com
These are corsets that you have to see to believe. For that added rigidity you just cant get with plastic boning, and adding to the overall snugness around your body, the corsets have spiral and flat STEEL bones, not plastic.
Breathless Corsets ONLY sells corsets with steel boning
We deal directly with the manufacturer and are not merely an reseller. Because of this we can offer some custom sizing for the larger wearer.
We also offer waist training corsets for those looking for tight lacing. These are marked as such and are different to our regular corsets in that they have 24 bones.Waist training corsets should be ordered 6-7 inches smaller than natural waist size.
The steel boned corsets will pull your waist in by 4-5" and will push and lift your cleavage if desired. These garments are fully adjustable at the back so you can tension according to comfort or control.
These authentic corsets have a steel busk and two or more layers of fabric for strength.
Our corsets have two types of bone, Flat and Spiral steel bones.
Waist training & Reversible corset have 20 Spiral bones & 4 Flat bones at the back for rigid support for lacing. These are made with extra fused cotton lining, 5 layers of fabric are used.
Regular Steel boned corsets have 12 flat steel bones for ultimate control, all around the corset.
The corsets are also 100% cotton fused lining for comfort and have a modesty panel to allow you to cover your back or wear the corset open.
These are NOT lingerie store corsets. They will last you for years and keep you in the shape you require. They are the closest thing to hand made corsets you can buy at half (and more) the cost.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE measure your waist carefully, as returns for size issues are subject to a 20% restocking charge, and extra shipping costs to resend the correct size.
Please feel free to contact email@example.com if you have ANY questions.

USPS will be used for USA bound corsets,
Air mail will be used to post your corset to the UK and Europe/Australia/SA/LA and all others, UNLESS requested otherwise. This is to keep shipping costs as low as possible. If you require tracking and insurance for an international parcel please let us know, their is an extra cost for YOUR security.
Once it leaves our hands via basic international shipping, we only have proof of shipping, not of delivery.
Shipping costs are subject to change but will only be changed in accordance with regular shipping companies policies.
