5 Favorite New York City Spots for a Negroni
Bartender Naren Young hits the streets (and bars) in search of the city's top tipple
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
At Michael White's ode to the hearty cuisine of Emilia Romagna, bar manager and drink-slinger Richard Ervin has compiled a wonderful menu of five Negronis, each based on a different spirit. You can, of course, stick with a classic version spiked with Tanqueray and Carpano Antica vermouth or you might prefer something laced with reposado tequila, dark rum, or rye. All are stellar, although I did enjoy the Bianco on my last visit (pictured above), which features Junipero gin, Cocchi Americano, and Gran Classico Bitter, standing in admirably for the Campari.
Gabe Stulman's expansion deeper into the West Village continues at this hip new subterranean joint where a monstrous bar runs the length of the entire room. It's a fine piece of mahogany from where you might enjoy, like I did, their barrel-aged Negroni, which follows a popular trend of bartenders experimenting with the wood's influence on their cocktails. Delicious!
When day turns to night and plates of antipasti crowd the tables at this West Village staple, owner Joe Campanale might suggest his own take on a Negroni Sbagliato, which translates literally as "Wrong Negroni." The drink was apparently created in 1972 at Milan's Bar Basso when the bartender reached for a bottle of Prosecco instead of the usual gin, and thus a low-octane, highly refreshing variation was born. Campanale's twist incorporates a muddled wedge of roasted orange, adding its own toasty nuance.
Husband and wife team Avery and Janet Glasser started out as a couple of cocktail geeks, making their own bitters at home, which eventually led them to creating special blends for some of the city's top barkeeps. Now they have a retail outlet that doubles as a bar. Amor Y Amargo ("Love and Bitters") on Sixth Street is a tiny hole-in-the-wall dishing up all manner of bitter treats including their "Bespoke Negroni." I let Avery take the reins one night and what was presented included Red Breast Irish whiskey, Cocchi Americano, and Aperol. Hardly a Negroni by any stretch, but it sure was tasty.
In a setting where you're more likely to get a killer Mai Tai — replete with all the kitschy trimmings — owner Richie Boccato will also knock you up a frozen Negroni. Only available for another month or two before the chill sets in, it is a surprisingly delightful respite from our stinky and sweaty New York summer. It's nice to see a little fun and whimsy put back into the serious world of modern mixology.
And for one of my own creations, I present the Chocolate Negroni. It's not as weird as it sounds if you consider that orange (the classic Negroni garnish) and chocolate have long been friends in the patissier's world. This drink combines Plymouth gin, Punt e Mes vermouth (very bold, spicy, and rich), Campari, and a whisper each of white crème de cacao and chocolate mole bitters. Stirred lovingly and served on a giant ice cube, perhaps with an orange blossom foam for garnish and texture.

Fast-paced, end-to-end and played by some of the biggest sports stars on the planet, basketball is justifiably one of the most watched games in the world.
Invented in 1891 by Jim Naismith, the sport spread from the YMCA to colleges and then, in 1936, to become an Olympic sport. Today the NBA is one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the world and has produced icons like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Oscar Robinson.
These days it's all about the Miami Heat and their galaxy of stars. LeBron James, globally recognised as the best player of his era, has catapulted interest in the sport still further and has truly taken over from Michael Jordan as the game's biggest name.
Interest in US basketball doesn't stop with the NBA, though – the college game is almost as popular, with massive crowds flocking to see the stars of the future.
A high-octane sport, it's brilliant to have a bet on, its short bursts of play especially enticing for in-play punters. The breaks in the action, so common in US sports, also help in translating your view on the match into an in-play bet. Close games are commonplace and regularly end with a buzzer shot from 3 point territory. What better scenario than this for a cheeky live bet on the team trailing?
Not only that, we've got plenty of pre-match markets like total points scored in the match, double chance and loads of handicap betting.
It may be NBA powerhouses like the Bulls, Lakers, Heat and Celtics that hog the limelight, but basketball is played all over the world – and we've got markets from its every corner. Bet on Partizan Belgrade and Panathinaikos in the Euroleague or Issa Town and Al Ahli in the Bahrain championship – as with pretty much all the sports, if it's played, you'll be able to have a bet on it with 888sport.
And now there's even a chance to see NBA stars closer to home, as London gets set to host more and more one-off games over the coming years.

questions by findingthefaith:
Going to Junsu's gig? If not, why? If so, whwere? And are you excited?
Nope. I would have definitely taken the 9-hour drive to NY if it were any other week than the first week of classes. Especially since the first week is mandatory if I wanted to remain in said classes.
Is Changmin that bad of an actor in your opinion? Would you still see his movie? What about Paradise Ranch?
imo I don't think he's a bad actor? I prefer his acting over Jaejoong's. Paradise Ranch initially gave me some second-hand embarrassment but his acting visibly improved since the first few episodes. And OFC I'll see his movie.
Your opinion about EXO?
I like them. Kai and Kris need to deflate their heads but Luhan is my baby and I am madly in love with Chen's voice ~
Best new rookie group from: B.A.P., MYNAME, Nu'est, EXO? Why?
EXO. I don't know nearly enough about the other groups as I do about EXO, thanks to SME's promotion skills.
Are you the type of person to think things through such as lawsuit, why JYJ left, the stan situation, etc.? Or can you just let it be and try to be unbiased about it?
Can't I be unbiased
think things through? To be fair, though, I was a lot more actively curious about lawsuit/split rumors two years ago than I am now.
Fave crack ship inside of TVXQ (5)? If not, some other crack ship?
I don't ship any couple romantically. Now with that off my chest… onchang. :D
Let's assume TVXQ is the ultimate fave group for you (if it's not why am I following you omg) so what would be the second favorite? What makes it special?
What if they're not my fave group and I actually have several other blogs for other groups dun dun dunnn. My first group was SS501, and they're special because I absolutely love their relationship together. It's so comfortable and brotherly and perfect.
Ever changed a bias in TVXQ? How it happened and why? How long you've had your ultimate bias? (Don't give me shit like you don't have one, I love all the boys but there's always something special in one of them).
:| My initial bias was Jaejoong, and he was my ultimate for the longest time until KYHD. TVXQ's comeback seriously affected my bias list, and my bias kept changing from Changmin to Yunho for months. Then I finally acknowledged that I was a faithless woman and decided to drop the chagrin of "ultimate bias" ^^
Junsu's red hair? Opinions? I'm just throwing it out there. Feel free to let everything out.
I cry out in frustration every time he changed his hair color. Just keep your natural hair baby, I don't want a bald Junsu before you reach 30 ;_;
that red looked smokin' hot on him tho
You must have seen our boys in kissing scenes many times, right? Well, who got you to gasp the best? Or who managed to make it look the best?
Not necessarily gasp, but Jaejoong's kiss in Heaven's Postman gave me butterflies and made me sigh in content. idc what you people think, it was so light and soft and sweet, and just swoon-worthy.
Finally let's end this with a sad one. Since our joongie seems to be depressed and says some worrying stuff on twitter time to time, got any opinions about it? Any speculation? No?
Nothing to speculate. He's the kind of person who hates keeping things to himself. He likes to put his feelings out and get a response from people.
questions by chunpala:
You have a set of scales and three stones. Love, prosperity, happiness. They all weigh the same. You may only choose two stones to properly balance the scales; if you put more weight on one side, they will tip and the C4 underneath your feet will go off and you will be blown into a billion pieces, so there's no way around this fucking puzzle. Which one do you leave out?
Love. It's overrated and if you already have happiness, then clearly love isn't needed.
We're having a TV show marathon for a weekend. What TV show do you think I'd make you watch and why do you think that?
Supernatural, since I've still barely scraped season 1 and a few random episodes from other seasons. And idk you might be a bit disappointed in me for that lol
If cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who do you think would win?
Cavemen obviously.
Your OTP/ship announces that they're real and they've been together for years and the public was duped the entire time, unless your ship is YunJae, in which case, most everyone thought you were real as is. On a scale from 1 to fuck my ass and call me Blu, what's your reaction?
ummI have a habit of fainting when I'm in shock so. But when I'm revived I'd cry tears to fill up the ocean for my now-real ship.
Suddenly, your life is like

Your next landmark birthday is coming up! (15/18/21/25/etc.) What would you plan if you could have pretty much anything you wanted (short of anything illegal happening…like kidnapping your bias…)?
Some of my friends and I have been planning on going on an all-Asia tour for a while now, but at least one of us is always busy. I'd want to clear everyone's plans (and give all of us enough money) to spend at least a few months doing exactly that.
The Night Circus is in your town. They literally have almost everything a great circus can offer, and then some. What 3 performances must you see?
Acrobats and stuff… I'm not really a fan of circuses. Can I say three different acrobatic perfs? ah do I have to google again ._. OH I'll have magical acrobats. Yes. Three magical acrobats is good.
If you could see me get along with any kpop star, who would it be and why?
Jaejoong. I can see you two talking about the randomest things for endless hours and cracking each other up.

Prosecutors have accused rapper Lil Boosie of paying $15,000 to have rival rapper Christopher "Nussie" Jackson murdered.
Prosecutors played a videotaped statement from Michael "Marlo Mike" Louding in court this week.
Louding confessed to detectives that Lil Boosie wanted Nussie killed, after the rapper was allegedly disrespectful to one of Lil Boosie's associates during an altercation.
According to The Advocate, Lil Boosie hired Louding and another associated named Michael "Ghost" Judson to murder Nussie, as well as another man named Terry Boyd.
Only Michael Louding is on trial for the murder of Christopher "Nussie" Jackson, because Judson is dead.
Louding's trial for murdering Nussie is just the start, as he has been charged with five other murders between 2009 and 2010.
Rapper Lil Boosie, born Torrence Hatch, is also charged with first-degree murder in one of the killings.
Prosecutors claim to have evidence that Lil Boosie hired Louding to shoot a man named Terry Boyd in October of 2009.
Lil Boosie, 28, was not charged in the death of Christopher "Nussie" Jackson, because he did not have direct contact with Michael Louding prior to Nussie's murder.
Earlier this week, Lil Boosie was accused of attempting to smuggle drugs into a second state prison in Louisiana.
The rapper was indicted for trying to smuggle codeine into Angola State Prison, as well as the Dixon Correctional Institute at Jackson, where he was previously incarcerated, while serving a 10-year sentence for possession of marijuana.
Prosecutors are still debating if they are going to seek the death penalty against Lil Boosie.
Being an indie artist can't be an easy job in today's society. You can't go more than 2 feet without meeting someone who's a rapper and has a mixtape to hand you. The overflow of talentless emcees makes it that harder to see the few who have potential. Trying to standout about the crowd of mediocrity is Wem. His DJ Ill Will assisted mixtape Unexpected sets out to show that Wem is something different for what you've heard already.Read more
Jill Scott's latest album, The Light Of The Sun, is a refreshing and introspective volume of work that ultimately encourages listeners to let their inner light shine through. This fourth studio album of the Neo-Soul songstress is a follow up to her Gold certified and 2007 Grammy nominated album The Real Thing.
The Light Of The Sun provides us with Scott's own perspective on aspects of love and self worth in a positive light. On the track Blessed, Jill reveals to listeners that her son is her world and that her music career comes secondary. She exhibits to us to her lyrical flow as she raps with gratitude about the joyous blessings she's received in her life. Alternatively, she croons with sincerity about an indecisive heart undergoing emotional turmoil on the sultry track So Gone. The song alludes to her trying to escape from an unhealthy relationship, but a strong physical attraction makes it a difficult task.
On the ballad Hear My Call, Jill Scott pleads for her broken heart to be mended and for the strength to overcome fears of being hurt in love and to trust again. The acoustic piano and almost theatrical like deliverance makes this a powerful and moving song. Scott remains to be the positive and empowering woman that we all know and admire. This is apparent on the track Rolling Hills, where she addresses female listeners in a collective manner. The importance of women knowing their worth and embracing their power is the key message conveyed on this jazzy, soulful tune.
Throughout the album, Jill Scott remains consistent with engaging listeners with her seemingly effortless, stunning vocals and her eloquent spoken words. Wholeheartedly, Jill Scott's The Light Of The Sun is an expression of herself, her vulnerabilities, triumphs and lessons learned.

It's been over 3 years since we heard anything from these guys but time seemed to give way to an album that will make you fall in love with them all over again. Jagged Edge or affectionately know as J.E. is back with their new album The Remedy, which will help you fix all of your needs. The group's smooth voices give way to an album full of songs that almost tell a love story from beginning to end.
The album begins with a sweet prelude simply titled Intro. It's seems to give you a sneak peak as what's to come and leads right to the next single Love On You, which has almost the exact same melody. On the song Baby, Jagged Edge samples the song Happy by Surface, but replace the word with baby. It is a clever way to make the song their own and keep the beat almost exactly the same as the original track. Flow Through My Veins is the latest single from the album and is one of the tracks that reminds you of the first time you heard a Jagged Edge song. It's a true love song.
The only up-tempo track, Lipstick, features a verse from Rick Ross, which is a fun track that is the only break from the slow jams that are on the rest of the album. The next couple of songs, Space Ships, Let's Make Love, and When The Bed Shakes, are more of the same love songs. They do a good job here with keeping you in the mood and keep those slow jams coming.
Although we all know that singing about love is Jagged Edge's specialty — it could have been nice to have a couple of those dance tracks in the album just to break up some of those love songs. It would have given the album a well-rounded feel. The guys do a good job with harmonizing and blending theirs voices together, which is why we love these guys so much.
All in all, I think Jagged Edge has a hit on their hands and most certainly need more credit than they are given. The Remedy is something to throw on, on the late night tip to set things off or cool things down.

Dr. Dre, Pt. 1 Lyrics - The Game
[Dr. Dre:]
His parents hustled
So he was left alone by himself a lot
So shit, he did whatever the fuck he wanted to do
When boys in the hood came out, this little nigga rolled himself a joint
And watched the whole motherfucker by itself
His pops didn't give a fuck, but his mom found out?
Shit, she'd kill him and his dad
She didn't want him seeing, being or getting caught up in no gangsta shit
So she never knew, until now

Note to baseball teams that want to win: DON'T MOVE! One team has won more games after moving into a new building in the last ten years: the 2009 Yankees, who would go on to win the World Series. Of the other six, only one has seen its win total stay the same and the rest have fallen. Three teams have had a double-digit decline and the average among all teams is 6.85 fewer wins per season.
In the NFL teams see a slight increase in wins when moving stadiums. In the last decade, four teams have had win totals rise, two have declined and two have stayed the same, resulting in an average gain of 0.75 wins per year.
So, clearly there are mixed results. Perhaps this means that there is no relationship or the sample size wasn't large enough, but that would mean I wasted my time looking up all of these numbers. Instead, I choose to interpret this information as evidence that fan enthusiasm has different impacts on different sports.
A new stadium means more excitement, but that will only be reflected in outcomes in sports where fans can impact the game or, in other words, when home court/field advantage is a real thing.
New college arenas and stadiums result in more wins. This makes sense. College fans go nuts and often impact games. If they are rowdier because they finally have a new home, that can translate to a win here or there. Renovations, however, result in 1 less win in for the average college football team. Perhaps a renovation just doesn't quite cut the mustard.
And in the pro ranks, the evidence actually lines up with how I interpret home court/field/ice advantage. Hockey and baseball, especially in the playoffs, are sports where momentum is everything and playing at home often does very little to help. And, as we might expect from that assumption, the added enthusiasm that comes from a new home hasn't meant any more wins.
But football and basketball, two sports where crowds can really help swing momentum, see more of a relationship between moving facilities and increasing win totals.
This explanation only covers part of it, however. How do players react to being in a new environment? From the evidence, it would appear that football and basketball players react more positively to a new place to play, but I'm curious what any athletes out there in the internet think? Why do some sports see a positive relationship but others don't?
How does a new stadium impact wins and losses?

Ochre hand imprint of Homo erectus revealed
- from Past Horizons
"Once again, the Homo erectus site of Lehberg near Haidershofen in the Lower Austrian part of the Enns (a southern tributary of the Danube River), is in the spotlight for Lower Palaeolithic research.
After the recent discovery of several well-preserved hand axes of Acheulean age dating to approximately 500,000 years ago, as well as a phallus shaped object coated with traces of ocre (see Fundsache Homo erectus, Archaeology Online 2012) a number of hammerstones were also recovered.
These hammerstones of oval quartzite and quartz cobbles come from the local Günz-gravels and have clear use marks on the longitudinal edges. However, after close examination, one of these stones revealed something quite remarkable.
During laboratory examination of the finds under a stereoscopic light microscope, a quartzite hammerstone was shown to have a peculiar line of reddish ochre along a well-defined and particularly striking side. Natural sediment retention in the cobble itself was excluded, and it suddenly became obvious that what was being observed, was the outline of the ball and thumb of a 500,000 year-old hand.
The use surface was compatible with it being held in such a way that the hand would have covered the rest of the cobble, leaving only a partial outline in red ochre, echoing the famous hand prints in the cave paintings of France and Spain.
The hammerstone user was right-handed and the resulting curved trace of colour on the stone was caused by trituration (the process for reducing particle size of a substance by grinding) of ochre with liquid, showing Homo erectus was undoubtedly using this as a form of paint at the site of Lehberg.
Constant use of the hammerstone in the same way and for the same purpose allowed the ochre particles to become ingrained along the same point where the hand would have rubbed against the stone" (read more).

LONDON — The Shura-e-Mujahedeen, a group affiliated with the Pakistani Taliban, recently reissued a year-old fatwa describing Pakistani journalists and media outlets as "enemies of the mujahedeen." The decree threatened several radio stations and included photographs of the popular political talk show hosts Hamid Mir and Hasan Nisar, accusing them of promoting secular and Western values and spreading anti-Muslim propaganda. The fatwa was first issued following widespread condemnation by Pakistani journalists of the Taliban's attempt to kill the teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai in October 2012. The announcement raises concerns about journalists' safety in a country that is already among the deadliest in the world for reporters.

Beijing's Play for PornBy Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore
SHANGHAI — When it comes to pornography, the Chinese government is guilty of naked hypocrisy.
This month Xinhua, the Chinese state-run news agency, announced yet another anti-pornography crusade. The campaign, scheduled to last through August, aims to create a "benign Internet environment" for Chinese youth during the summer holidays. Web sites and online games, advertisements and forums that show "pornographic content" have been shut down, fined, asked to remove offending content or are being investigated. Just exactly what constitutes porn, however, is not spelled out.
This crackdown is part of an ongoing, if erratic, battle against smut. The Chinese Communist Party has long viewed itself as a guardian against "spiritual pollution," which runs the gamut from porn to wayward politics. Pornography has been banned in China since 1949, when the Communists came to power.
All the King's MenBy Ursula Lindsey
RABAT, Morocco — Morocco is going through a slow-moving political crisis. Last month, Istiqlal, a secular party, voted to withdraw from the Islamist-led coalition government, criticizing it as ineffective. But after a phone call from King Mohammed VI, who was on vacation in Paris, Istiqlal's leaders decided to stay put until the monarch's return. Meanwhile, the embattled Justice and Development Party — the Islamist party that after years in opposition now leads the coalition government — has become isolated. Abdelilah Benkirane, its leader and the country's prime minister, addressed a half-empty chamber of deputies last week; the opposition had boycotted the session.
A Rag of RichesBy Ursula Lindsey
CAIRO — This week I am one of many readers mourning the disappearance of Egypt Independent, a local English-language weekly that has provided sterling coverage of the Egyptian uprising in 2011 and the painful, deeply confusing transition that followed.
The paper's final issue, its 50th edition, is only available online because last week the publication's management –— the privately owned Arabic newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm — decided to shut down operations just as the issue went to print.
Like many publications in Egypt, which are suffering in the weak economy, Egypt Independent had been struggling financially. But it is just as much a casualty of Egypt's polarized media landscape, in which businessmen and political parties jockey for power, launching scurrilous campaigns against one another, with little use for outlets that aren't subservient to their interests. At least four independent newspapers have closed in the last year.

All Politics Is EconomicBy Masha Gessen
MOSCOW — Another independent publication is closing: The print version of the biweekly Bolshoi Gorod ("Big City") and its Web site.
So many Russian publications have closed that only a handful of independent publications remain.
Since last Friday, its owner, publisher, editors and some of its reporters have been exchanging insults, complaints and mutual buyout offers in the media and on Facebook. The owner asked the staff to quit without severance, was rebuffed and retracted his suggestion; then he rejected someone's offer to buy the magazine and offered to give the brand, the domain name and even computer equipment to the staff as compensation. On Sunday afternoon, the Web site's editor wrote that she was giving up the fight and resigning. (Disclosure: in 2004-2005 I served as the magazine's deputy editor in chief.)
In the last couple of months, so many Russian publications have closed, lost their funding or fired some of their most prominent journalists to prove their loyalty to the Kremlin that only a handful of independent publications remain. Each closure, firing or investor pullout has been presented as an economic decision. But every time, the same debate has flared up: How political are these economic decisions?
The Chávez ConstitutionalBy Francisco Toro
It's been two weeks now since Venezuela's telecom regulator served a cease-and-desist order on Venezuela's last free-to-air opposition broadcaster, Globovision. Some recent content, the station was told, broke the law by "inciting hate, panic or disturbing public order."
What did the offending footage contain? A call to rebellion? No, just the text of Article 231 of the Venezuelan Constitution.
Requiem for a NewspaperBy Andrew Finkel
ISTANBUL — That the editor-in-chief of Taraf — a cash-strapped Turkish newspaper that struggles to sell more than 50,000 copies — should resign after falling out with its proprietor might seem like a humdrum story worthy only of an inside page. But in the gloomy landscape that is Turkish journalism, where self-censorship and kowtowing to the government are the norm, recent news that several of the paper's leading lights were throwing in their pens made headlines: Taraf has been a rare brave and independent voice.
I had watched with pride Taraf's battle against the odds. Now, my optimism is gone.
Grim reports of the paper's demise were premature; in fact, it soldiers on with a reduced crew. Still, all this has left me feeling like a child caught up in his parents' painful divorce. I had been contributing, unpaid, a weekly column on current events, motivated by the paper's ideals and loyalty to friends who have now resigned. I had watched with pride Taraf's battle against the odds. Now, my optimism is gone.
Turkey's DragnetBy Andrew Finkel
ISTANBUL — After a satisfying lunch of meze and fish, a body needs a demitasse of thick Turkish coffee. But in this case it was not to be.
"We don't make coffee," the waiter said.
"Not to worry," I said. "There's a man in a kiosk who makes it just across the street. He can bring it over on a tray."
"Not possible," said the waiter.
"Why?" I asked.
"If we made an exception and served you coffee… well, before you'd know it, everyone would want some," he said.
The Turkish government's strange reaction last week to a report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists reminded me of the waiter's words. The report condemns the Turkish government for restricting press freedoms and imprisoning journalists. The government's response: Sorry, we can't give normal freedoms to the press because then everyone else might expect them, too.
Remembering PolitkovskayaBy Masha Gessen
MOSCOW — Of all the days in the year, Anna Politkovskaya had to be killed on Oct. 7.
She was an insanely brave reporter — one of those people who seem to lack the very capacity for fear — who spent her professional life writing about injustice and had for years been reporting mostly from and about Chechnya. She was shot dead in, or near, the elevator of her apartment building six years ago.
There were more people who had means, motive and opportunity to kill her than any investigator could know what to do with: because of her crusading and reckless ways, she had made many enemies who had guns and long memories.
A Call From The KremlinBy Masha Gessen
MOSCOW — Secretly I had felt that I had made Vladimir Putin up. I had spent years studying his interviews, his speeches and his ad-libbed statements, and he had come out flat and gray. Some people claimed he had a secret dimension, others said he possessed charm — I saw no evidence of it. But then, I had never talked to the man: As a journalist, I had apparently been blacklisted by the Kremlin at the very beginning of his reign — I could not even get accredited to a press conference.
And then, last week, I shouted at him. I had been fired from my job as editor of Vokrug Sveta, a venerable popular-science magazine, for refusing to send a reporter to cover Putin's hang-glider flight with endangered Siberian cranes. The following morning I felt hung-over and slightly disoriented.
My phone rang and a male voice asked me to hold. I listened to silence for two minutes and fumed. A different male voice came on: ''Don't hang up. I will connect you.'' I blew up: ''I didn't ask to be connected with anyone! Why do I have to hold? Who are you connecting me to? Do you want to introduce yourself?''
''Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich,'' said the president's voice on the other end of the line.

Lottie Moss is one blessed lil sis. Not settling for sharing her big sister's fabulous genes (that's Kate Moss, FYI) and starting out on a rather similar career trajectory in the modelling world, she's now starring in a flashback photo shoot for Calvin Klein Jeans that nods to the iconic imagery Kate starred in back in the day.
Shot by Michael Avedon - grandson of the inimitable fashion photographer, Richard Avedon who shot Brooke Shields' CK campaign in the '80s (sensing a theme here?) – Lottie is slouchy and bare-faced in her youthful gorgeouness. The new range of denims she's donned in the pics - hello dungarees! - also hark back to the minimal looks of the '90s. It's all the brilliant brain child of My-Theresa.co.uk and Calvin Klein Jeans who have signed Lottie up to be the face of their Re-Issue Project.
Lottie Moss vs her big sister back in the '90s [Calvin Klein]
Lovely Lottie showcases eight re-issued icons from the CK archives including the Kate Moss tapered boyfriend jean, and the Brooke Shields high-waisted skinnies. Limited edition re-mastered sweatshirts, t-shirts and denim jackets all bearing the CK logo will be highly covetable to the classics-addicts out there.
And of course she's the perfect girl to showcase these looks. "Lottie truly represents the essence of the Calvin Klein girl," said Avedon. "Intriguing innocence with utter beauty - it was wonderful to photograph this beautiful young lady." We couldn't agree more.
And it comes at just the right time. We've seen a major trend for retro denim and sportswear looks this past season with stars from Rita Ora to Kendall Jenner taking part in the #mycalvins social media campaign, flashing their tightey-whitey waistbands. What's more, every other street style photo features an array of 'normcore' boxy denim jackets, high-waist 'mom' jeans and skinny rib crop-tops. Now all we need is that Mossy pout...

Twenty-Minute Workout

For years I have read about the benefits of a 20-minute workout. I have come across some studies that showed an improvement of strength, endurance and weight loss within six to eight weeks. If this is true, why do we schedule rehab patients for an hour

A Strange Gait

I was with the patient briefly doing some exercises for strengthening and stability. Now it was time to get up and walk. He stood, grabbed the 4WW and did the strangest gait I have ever seen. I analyzed it harder than I did the Zapruder film. It was a

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I was convicted of an OWI in Dane county after being pulled over for a suspended license and blew a .09. Wish John's help I was able to get not only the OWI dropped, but also my suspended license! All I was convicted of was; reckless driving. John was very understanding and treated me more like a friend than a client.
He was very professional and always returned my calls in a timely manner. This was my first one and I could not have been more worried about what it may do to my future. John put me at ease and took care of the matter.
He was also very honest from the beginning about my chances. Overall, I was 100% pleased with my conviction and would absolutely use John again if I was ever in a legal bind. I highly recommend him for any legal needs.
I hired John Holevoet because I had received a bogus traffic ticket. He very quickly settled the case to my satisfaction. I found him helpful, straightforward, and communicative. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of hiring an attorney.
John handled a OAR ticket for me after working with me on a OUI charge. Everything negative you've heard about the criminal "justice" system is true. It's all about the money. If you have enough you can get out of anything. Having John Holevoet sitting next to you will help you get closer to the minimum penalties. He's a solid guy with a good reputation among prosecutors and judges. Don't risk going alone or settling for a public defender. You owe it to yourself to have a pro like Attorney Holevoet representing your interests.
John helped me negotiate a first offence OUI. I was pretty stressed out about it and John was great about explaining everything and making the process as painless as possible. I never felt rushed when we worked together and he's really easy to talk to and work with. Put me at ease every time I met with him.
His knowledge of the law is excellent. He had a better grasp of the sentencing guidelines than the prosecutor or judge in the case. During sentencing the judge sent out an email mid-proceeding to confirm John's interpretation of the statutes on a point that was unclear to him. I probably would have unnecessarily had an ignition lock installed were it not for him.
John's staff is friendly and professional, responded to all correspondence promptly and let me know when important dates were coming up. The paralegal working with me on the case left for personal reasons as my case was midway through the court process (left for happy reasons, no drama) and the new one picked things up without missing a beat. Very impressed with how he runs his office.
If you're facing an OUI charge, John Holevoet is an excellent attorney to represent your interests.
Thanks to John Holevoet's diligence, knowledge, and expertise, the (almost) impossible was achieved when my OWI charge from 10yrs ago was reopened and the conviction was changed to "Disorderly Conduct with a Motor Vehicle." Because of this, I can finally get my license in Florida to drive after 8yrs! John was very respectful to me and answered all of my questions, so I always knew exactly what was going on. He was VERY prepared and competent in court. I would highly recommend Mr. Holevoet to anyone needing DUI/OWI counsel.
Had speeding ticket reduced to a non compliant with road sign ticket. I paid the cost of the speeding ticket but did not receive points on my driving record. John did a outstanding job in keeping me advised on the progress of this legal matter.
I have never been in this type of situation in my entire life. I have never had the need for a lawyer before. Luckily, my husband, did some research, and thought we should hire John. It was the best decision we ever made. We do trust him completely, he answers any questions we have, responds to them immediately,and always keeps us informed. My being very nervous & stressed by the whole situation, John has done a great job in making things easier for me to handle. I really appreciate that.
John was a great attorney. He kept me informed on everything that was going on with my case and sent me every piece of information that he used, like transcripts, videos, and research that he would use. He walked me through everything step by step from the very begining. The thing I like the most was that he spoke in a language that I understood, I have spoken to some attorneys in the past and had no idea what they said because they used terms that I didnt know. If I had any questions he was happy to answer them and called me back as soon as possible. I was a wreck as it was with this situation I was in but John took care of everything, he is very determined to help out his clients. I couldn't thank him enough for everything he has done for me. He was able to reduce my charge from an OWI to a reckless driving before it went to trial. I was very satisfied with the outcome. I will recommend John to anyone who is in search for an attorney. Thanks again John and to your fellow co-workers at Holevoet Law Office.
I was charged with a 2nd OWI. My BAC was .07 which is below the legal limit, but they decided to charge me anyway.
John was able to negotiate it down to a reckless driving charge before it even went to trial. I saved about $2,000 or more in fines, surcharges, alcohol treatment expenses, and ignition interlock device rental. I also avoided criminal charges and jail time, thanks to John.
He's a really cool guy, easy to get along with, very professional, and knew exactly what he was doing. He was great at keeping me up to date and always got back to me whenever I had questions. I felt like he genuinely cared about my case. I really enjoyed having him as my attorney and can't thank him enough.
I thought Mr. Holevoet was professional, approachable, and knowledgeable. I would recommend his services.

Manchester United is once again in the unfamiliar position of looking for a manager for the second summer in a row after sacking David Moyes with three games left in the Premier League season. Current player Ryan Giggs has assumed the managerial duties in the strange situation that football clubs deploy every so often by having a player-manager. The rumored candidates include the usual heavy hitters of world football such as Pep Guardiola of Bayern Munich, Jurgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund, Louis Van Gaal of the Netherlands national team, and for some reason, our very own Jose Mourinho. With the exception of Van Gaal, the other candidates have ruled themselves out of the running by being complimentary to Manchester United but saying they are committed to their own clubs.
Jose Mourinho was asked about making the move to Manchester United this summer:
"Of course not. I'm ruling that out completely. I left Real Madrid to come to Chelsea and I signed a four-year contract with Chelsea. I told Chelsea that they never have to worry about me because I don't want to leave and I'll stay for as long as the club wants me."
Jose Mourinho was considered one of the front runners for the Manchester United job last summer and there were rumors that he was angling for it when Real Madrid made the trip to Old Trafford in the Champions League. Reports claim that United felt Mourinho was too volatile for the position so they hired "The Chosen One" David Moyes who was recommended by Alex Ferguson. Unfortunately for United and fortunately for Chelsea, Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge after wandering Europe picking up silverware for a few years.
The most exciting aspect about Mourinho's current reign is that he appears to be here for the long run. Every other coaching position, including Chelsea the first time around, was simply a stop on his journey to becoming one of the best managers in world football. This time around, with a bit more gray hair and a lot more wisdom, Mourinho is at Chelsea to build a legacy and become more of a club legend than he already is.

And why is it an outrage if the president, who heads one of three branches of government, golfs 104 times in three-and-a-half-years, but the head of another branch of government, the Speaker of the House, plays four times as much? You heard correctly: John Boehner once told Golf Digest that he plays upwards of 100 rounds a year. Seems like a double standard, no?

Iran warns: Israel to pay ''heavy price'' if nuclear site attacked
The Islamic Republic of Iran warned Israel on Monday against committing any "adventurist" military attack on its nuclear sites.
"I hope the Zionist regime will not commit any adventurist act," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Assefi said.
Israel has "demonstrated that it is adventurist and does not respect any principles and, if it makes such a mistake, it will pay a very heavy price," he made clear.
Assefi was responding to a question asked by a journalist, who referred to a report last week in the Washington Post saying that the Israeli Premier had told US President Bush, during a recent visit to Washington, that Tehran was much closer to producing nuclear arms than the American intelligence presumed, triggering Israel to seriously consider a preemptive strike against Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant.

Delivered by PhotoVoice, 'Having Our Say Too' uses photography to build positive futures for young men under 24 affected by sexual exploitation and trafficking.
Participants represent their thoughts, responses and experiences through photography, text and music, creating their own digital stories. New and innovative toolkits developed through this project are being used by Barnardo's and NSPCC.
The project raises confidence and self-esteem through developing new skills and exploring these issues in workshop settings, encouraging participants to be better supported by other young people affected by sexual exploitation. It will provide new and empowering ways to explore participants' experiences and perspectives, and tell their stories.
'Take Aim. Shoot.' uses photography to empower disadvantaged young people on poor estates build confidence and self-esteem, whilst acquiring new skills – all leading on to a positive and fulfilling future, and importantly a sense of community.
The course will be delivered by Endz 2 Endz, led by Dennis Gyamfi who's life has been transformed since participating in a photography course run by Photofusion, which as a result has led him to establish his own charity.
Since 2010 Dennis and Endz 2 Endz have been awarded the Spirit of London Award for their pioneering community work – especially through the delivery of highly successful community photography courses.
A selection of images from "Take Aim. Shoot." will be included in Positive View's 2015 'Street Life' exhibition.
Many of the most important photographers in the 20th century operated in the street: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt, Diane Arbus, William Klein, Lee Friedlander, Gary Winogrand, Joel Meyerowitz, to name a few. The street as a territory has attracted photographers since the 19th century. Today the Street and the Decisive Moment are championed by several groups on Instagram and flickr. While photographers deploy their medium under the Street Photography banner, some play with the idea, question its conventions or look for new ways forward.
The exhibition, put together by Swiss curator Nathalie Herschdorfer, will be held during Autumn 2015 at the Truman Galleries, in the heart of London's own vibrant street culture.

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia. It was built in honor of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila.
The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a monumental tomb for Celsus. Celsus is buried in a sarcophagus beneath the library, in the main entrance[1] which is both a crypt containing his sarcophagus and a sepulchral monument to him.[7] It was unusual to be buried within a library or even within city limits, so this was a special honor for Celsus.[1]

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
For at least the past 3 years 25%- 33% of the teachers have left each school year. Many highly qualified, dedicated professionals have left and that is a serious problem. If you look at similar local A rated schools, they have many veteran teachers and a low turn over rate. The administration at PS 226 should think long and hard about how the treat, train and retain teachers or risk remaining a C school for years to come.
I love Ps 226 because they find the way to help your child in all they need academy, emocional, is like you feel is the second home, thank you ps 226 for all your help with Diana and Devin.
My son has been in this school for over three years. In the beginning, the school was in shambles, however in the last year, they have made progress. My only complain is that there is no Special Education classes offered. I would like to see that happening in the near future.
The school is great, it has a good and caring staff. I feel my children are safe in this school, unlike many other schools.

moreHow to build and operate GPS receivers-a working resource for engineers
While GPS receivers abound in numerous applications, much of the information on their design is scattered in disparate and hard-to-find places. This new work provides engineers who use and design GPS systems with a much-needed comprehensive reference on the operational principles guiding this important technology. With an emphasis on software-based signal processing-a cutting-edge approach expected to dominate future integration of GPS receivers into cellular phones-the book covers all aspects of receiver technology as well as the relevant navigation schemes. Concentrating on civilian C/A code used by commercial GPS receivers (rather than military code), Fundamentals of Global Positioning System Receivers:
- Describes GPS basics and the constellation of satellites that comprise the GPS system
- Examines in detail GPS signal structure, acquisition, and tracking
- Presents the mathematical formulas for calculating a user's position
- Illustrates the application of important equations using computer programs
- Explains how to build hardware to collect digitized data for a software GPS receiver
- Includes a chapter demonstrating a GPS receiver following the signal flow

I mentioned this before, how every other day in Romania and the Republic of Moldova union marches take place.
Well, today 10.000 people from both countries marched in Bucharest in a friendly protest titled "Chişinău and Bucharest, two Romanian hearts".
A Romanian flag of over 300 meters was brought from Chişinău, the one in the last picture. What amazes me most about these marches is the diversity. There are Asians, people of color, all yelling "Basarabia is Romania", I'm not sure when/if the union will take place, but these marches unite people like few things can.
