NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/12 -- Beginning with the January 2013 issue, Good Housekeeping is transformed with an all-new look, infusing the brand's rich heritage with fun, fresh energy, a sense of surprise and discovery, and plenty of ideas and inspiration. A bold redesign, new logo, and seven sections that present service and information with beautiful graphics make for an impactful reader experience. Hallmarks of the new Good Housekeeping include vibrant color, engaging photography and inventive type treatment. The new look leverages the iconic Good Housekeeping Seal, the most recognized consumer emblem in America, throughout its pages.
In re-thinking the brand, Good Housekeeping worked with The Futures Company/Yankelovich to field a study to explore the role of fun and discovery in women's lives. The Good Housekeeping Report on Women: Rediscovering Fun surveyed a national sample of women, of which 82 percent say they are determined to have more fun, and 79 percent look for ways to introduce more fun into their lives. The majority of women surveyed said they consider reading magazines to be a lot of fun, and see it as an escape and "me-time."
With these learnings, plus a full year of extensive polling and focus-group research among its audience, Good Housekeeping set about re-envisioning the magazine with an emphasis on joy, pleasure, and inspiration. A top-to-bottom re-organization eliminated the feature well and highlights the Good Housekeeping Research Institute throughout, integrating the labs' unique product testing in each section. Readers' voices are more prominent, and a mix of bite-sized information, real women's stories and the magazine's signature deep reporting of health and consumer issues creates content that is rich and personal. The new Good Housekeeping includes more beauty, fashion and food coverage, while still delivering the consumer advocacy pieces that are integral to the brand's DNA.
"For more than a year, we've been looking at how we could make Good Housekeeping better -- engaging with women across America in a lively dialogue, keeping the things we know they love, and finding ways to give them more fun every month," said Rosemary Ellis, editor in chief. "The result is a magazine that's revitalized and reimagined, with more ideas, thoughts and opinions from our readers."
"As the leading women's service magazine, Good Housekeeping provides trusted, tested advice and information for nearly 21 million readers, and now, we're thrilled to bring more fun into their lives each month with an all-new, transformed look and fresh energy," said Pat Haegele, SVP/Group Publisher.
Content is now divided into seven vertical sections, each including the word 'good' in its title and a text treatment that incorporates the Seal's famous star:
- GOOD LIFE: What's new, now, and noteworthy
- LOOK GOOD: Beauty and fashion tips, trends and deals
- FEEL GOOD: Smart ways to stay well, eat right, and get fit
- GOOD COMPANY: Real women and real-world advice from columnists Carmen Wong Ulrich, Peggy Post, Gretchen Rubin, and more
- GOOD HOUSE: Gorgeous ideas, easy organizing, and smart fixes, with fresh inspiration, reader-submitted tips, and advice from Heloise
- GOOD FOOD: Triple-tested recipes from the GH Test Kitchens with delicious ideas and easy shortcuts
- GOOD READS: Captivating reads, exclusive excerpts, and essays from best-selling authors and up-and-coming writers
To celebrate the new Good Housekeeping, the January issue includes an interactive sweepstakes, "Scanned, Sealed, Delivered." Readers can download the free Good Housekeeping Scanned Sealed Delivered app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play, and then use a mobile device to scan the watermarked Seal embedded with Digimarc® Discover technology on select advertisements, for a chance to win home and kitchen appliances, beauty products, cash prizes, and more. For more information and to enter for a chance to win online, go to www.goodhousekeeping.com/ssd.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Google Inc made its foray into the market for bundled Internet and television services on Thursday, promising access speeds more than 100 times faster than those of traditional U.S. cable and telecommunications companies.
The Web search leader unveiled its ultra-high speed Google Fiber service in Kansas City, Missouri, and could start installations in September, executives said. Google hopes to roll out the service to other cities later.
"Access is the next frontier that needs to be opened," Google Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said. "We're going to do it profitably. That is our plan."
"We are at a crossroad," he added, noting that Internet speeds had leveled out for broadband since around 2000. "We at Google we believe there is no need to wait."
Google Fiber's ultra high-speed connections and television offerings are aimed at surpassing those of current providers, allowing users to search live channels, Netflix, YouTube, recorded shows and tens of thousands of hours of on-demand programming. However, no phone service is available.
"The phone is really a 1940s thing. Why have a landline? It's sitting there, you use it once every two weeks," Pichette said.
Google said it also intends to roll out product packages for businesses, but would not provide details.
Google Fiber includes more than 100 networks and costs $120 a month for a package of TV, 1 gigabyte per second Internet speeds and 1 terabyte of cloud storage.
The package includes popular networks owned by major media companies such as Comcast Corp's NBC Universal, Discovery Communications and Viacom Inc. Premium movie networks are available from Liberty Media's Starz for an extra fee.
But it excludes several major TV names, such as News Corp's Fox cable channels; Time Warnernetworks like CNN, TNT and TBS, as well as Walt Disney Co cable channels like ESPN and Disney children networks.
Google executives said the company is still in negotiations to add more content.
"They need to be able to offer something that is everything people have now and more," said Ben Schachter, an analyst with Macquarie Research.
"People are going to have high expectations for this. The worst thing they can do is come out and disappoint."
Google is also offering an Internet-only package priced at $70 a month. The download speeds would be around 1 gigabyte a second, according to Google executives.
Google is charging a $300 installation fee, saying consumers should treat it as a "home improvement" cost.
The initial service area includes central Kansas City, Missouri and all of the city of neighboring KansasCity, Kansas.
This market is dominated by Time Warner Cable Inc, which charges $99.95 for its fastest Internet-only service there. Google Fiber would be 20 times faster.
Time Warner spokesman Justin Venech said the second largest U.S. cable operator had a "robust and adaptable network" and welcomed the competition.
Google Fiber includes such features as the ability to record eight TV shows at a time and store up to 500 hours of high definition programming. Users can choose to use a tablet or smartphone as a voice-activated remote control.
Google is offering its Nexus 7 tablet with the Google TV app to early users of the service.
Google said it is setting up a 6-week "rally" for consumers to vote on where the first fiber communities, or "fiberhoods," should be installed in the Kansas City area.
Consumers must pay $10 to register their household online for service. About 50 "neighbors" will need to register in order for their area to be eligible for installation services, according to Google executives.
Whether or not consumers will embrace the new offerings remains to be seen. But officials said they are confident Kansas City will be a showcase of success for a larger rollout.
"Google is a very different company," said Kevin Lo, general manager of Google Access. "And this is not a short-term project."

Honouring our humanist heritage
By ANDREW COPSON - GUARDIAN.CO.UK
Added: Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:12:43 UTC
Thanks to LWS for the link
Original link
We hear a lot about Britain's 'Christian heritage'. But so many of our pioneering thinkers and artists were humanists
Pat statements about Britain's "Christian heritage" trip easily from the lips of Christians and non-Christians alike and these claims can sometimes be ludicrously expansive. I am used to sitting on a panel with some bishop or other to be informed that – although it may surprise me – democracy, volunteering, human rights, justice, the rule of law, freedom, equality, schools and hospitals are all artefacts of our Christian heritage. And motherhood. And apple pie.
No one can deny that Christianity has had an effect on our national culture. But there are obvious and serious flaws in such an account of British history (Christian opposition in Britain to many of these "good things" in the past for example, or the fact that pre-Christian and non-Christian societies seem to have achieved many if not all of these advances at various times without the spur of a belief in Jesus). It's a useful corrective to this overweening narrative that the theme of this year's Humanist Week is "humanist heritage".
Men and women with humanist views have made a massive contribution to our national life and society. Did you know that the first heads of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, UN World Health Organisation, and UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation were all humanists? EM Forster is famous for his novels and the sumptuous Merchant Ivory adaptations of them, but did you know he was a lifelong humanist activist as well? The humanist Bertrand Russell is as well known as a campaigner for peace and social justice; less known are such humanist campaigners as 20th century anti-racism activist and advocate of Indian independence Fenner Brockway or Annie Besant, 19th-century campaigner against poverty and for contraception. Humanists who have made significant contributions to British science range from Charles Darwin to Brian Cox, Richard Dawkins to David King. But humanists in Britain have also made rich contributions to our artistic and literary heritage (think Thomas Hardy, John Fowles, George Eliot, Harold Pinter, Anish Kapoor) and to our intellectual heritage (Amartya Sen, A J Ayer, Karl Popper). Humanists from John Stuart Mill (anti-racist and pioneering feminist as well as the father of modern liberalism) to John Maynard Keynes to Clement Attlee demonstrate the beneficial influence of humanists on our political and social life.

If the Church and the Government have their way and their ambitions are realised, the Church will become the single largest provider of schools, totally funded by the state. That means that a majority of schools may be allowed to discriminate religiously in employment, discriminate religiously in admissions, and teach curricula heavily skewed towards Christianity right across the board.

I found this book on a dusty shelf at work and I decided to pick it up and give it a try after I watched the first movie. This book was intense, just as intense as the first one.
I love how the author has no boundaries and just goes for it all. The translation left a tiny bit to be desired in some of the prose department but all in all it was a thrilling read. This definitely isn't my genre but, I am glad I got out of my comfort zone and tried something new.
I think Lizbeth is a freaking bad ass. I mean, come on, she kicks ass, and I love how she just sees everything black and white, right or wrong, and there is no gray, nothing in between.
I will definitely read the last book.
Amazing gripping book. How did the author minutes to write this trilogy? The Stieg Larsson story is an incredible story. As I understand it he died about the time the books were published.
Sigh. I did not like this book.
Against my better judgment, I enjoyed the first one. But I had a feeling it couldn't last. As I said before, Dragon Tattoo is majorly plot driven. The characters are caricatures - which I'm pretty sure is intentional, given the background of the books - but there was a decent story almost from the off. I zipped through it, and it didn't seem like a chore.
This was.
The pacing (oh god, not the pacing AGAIN) was way off. Nothing happens for about 200 pages except Lisbeth goes to Ikea (worst two pages of writing I have EVER seen) and gets a boob job (this makes no more sense in context). Lisbeth is damaged, Lisbeth is a bit mad, Lisbeth is possibly Asperger-y, Lisbeth is also a genius... I just don't care. I mean, I feel sorry for her, but I cannot empathise with her at all. She doesn't feel real, or even real in the context. Anyway. Once that's over, the real mystery of the book starts, but it's nowhere near as well realised as the mystery in the first book. It's sloppy and all over the place and in need of serious editing.
This book was just hard to get through. After the speed picked up, it was easier, but the first third was just painful. Even after that, the spark that attracted me to the first part was just not there. Disappointing, but there you go.
I'll probably read the third book at some point, but I know it's the longest and that's putting me off.
Can't get enough of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist.
A decently long book at 503 pages, a lot of information is thrown to the reader. It begins with Lisbeth on her globe trotting vacation after she takes billions from Wennerstrom. This part was a bit long and involved for nothing really to come of it other than to show that she has a bit of feelings in that she made sure her sex toy survived the hurricane and at the same time reinforced how she feels about men who hate women...leading to the death of one. Once the story picks back up in Sweden the story moves along at a fast pace.
New characters are introduced, old characters are further developed, some characters are killed off, explanations for Lisbeth's past are provided and shed light on why she is the way she is and how she ended up the way she is.
The main difference in structure between this and Dragon Tattoo is that the latter had a finite conclusion to the story and all loose ends wrapped up besides of course the mystery that is Lisbeth Salander. However with Fire, it concludes with a brief paragraph or two of every character still around with interests in the story and then it just ends as if it were just a chapter ending and not a book ending. The final pages read like the ending of an episode of 24 where all the story lines are shown in separate panes and then one is zoomed in and we get those final seconds to close out the episode. It also reminds me of the two book series by Connie Willis Blackout/All Clear where literally one massive book was decided to be split into two and thus the first ends suddenly and the second picks up right where the first left off.
All in all i thought this was a better book than the first and I think i shall definitely read the third book sooner than the year and half i put between the first two.
When a novel moves or affects me deeply, I think about it when I'm walking around. I don't find myself thinking about The Girl Who Played With Fire, but while I was reading it, I was useless until I got to the end. In retrospect, my experience of the book, like it's characters, seems unreal. As, of course, it was.
When Larsson gets down to the business of telling a story, he tells a nerve-tingling tale.
For all the complications of the melodramatic story, which advances at a brisk, violently cinematic clip in Reg Keeland's translation, it's clear where Larsson's strongest interests lie — in his heroine and the ill-concealed attitudes she brings out in men.
Mr. Larsson's two central characters, Salander and Blomkvist, transcend their genre and insinuate themselves in the reader's mind through their oddball individuality, their professional competence and, surprisingly, their emotional vulnerability.
What follows is a combination of urgent, multilayered thriller, traditional police procedural and articulate examination of the way a supposedly open-minded country like Sweden treats both its vulnerable women and children in care.

The Player Character
The custom-designed protagonist of the game, you apparently led a fairly normal life prior to the start of the game; however, a chance encounter with one of the Bees changed everything. After several days of getting your newfound magical powers under control, you find yourself promptly recruited by one of the three societies, being offered either a purpose in life, money and power, or a chance at true order and clarity. As a result, you find yourself plunged into the very darkest depths of the Secret World...
The Tokyo Incident Team
Rose White
Is it daunting to be a 21-year-old in a 21-century-old organization? Nope. Not at all.The Templar protagonist of The Secret World's trailers and promotional material, Rose is a typically dedicated agent of her chosen faction; right at home under the atmosphere of dedication and tradition, Rose's interests range from bloodline research to modifying shotgun barrels. In the game, she is first seen venturing into Filth-infested Tokyo alongside Alex and Mei Ling; it is not known what happened to her afterwards- though she later appears in the Filth infestation of Manhattan, fighting alongside the players.
Voiced by: Catherine Taber
Alex McCall
Why are we here? Is there greater purpose? Who the hell cares?Representing the Illuminati in the trailers, Alex might not look the part of a dedicated follower of the Eye and the Pyramid, but what he lacks in personal grooming he more than makes up for in his mastery of chaos magic. Like most of his fellow agents, he parties hard and fights even harder, always eager to climb a little further in ranking and achieve greater power. In the player's flashback to the Tokyo Incident, he reluctantly teams up with Rose and Mei Ling to attack the Filth; during the events of the Manhattan raid, he does so again to suppress yet another Filth incursion.
Voiced by: Mark Healy
Mei Ling
Before the Dragon came knocking, my idea of chaos was a messy apartment.The representative of the Dragon in promotional materials, Mei Ling has left behind her formerly ordered life and embraced the chaotic lifestyle of a Dragon operative with considerable enthusiasm; ironically, she's the only one of the trio who even look back on her life before discovering the Secret World. Capable of impressive elemental magic and equally impressive swordplay, Mei Ling is ironically one of the more unassuming members of the team, spending her downtime in her apartment and enjoying homemade milkshakes. As with the other three, little is known what happened to her following the Tokyo Incident.
Voiced by: Laura Aikman
My name is Sarah, I'm still on this planet, my name is Sarah, I'm still on this planet...The Fourth member of the Tokyo Incident Team, she is the prot�g� of Arturo Castiglione from the Council of Venice. Players take her place for the game's tutorial. The players meet her again when they first arrive in Tokyo. She has gone through some...changes.

We want to share a really awesome new Mom Shopping site that was recently recommended to us.
Moms Flourish
is a new website where you can shop Mom invented products. We became aware of this great group from a fellow Saline Ambassador aka Boogie Wipes (we are
Boogie Wipes Ambassadors
and love to share their stuff with our fans!)
The group was founded by a fellow Mom named Shelley. She had the great idea to take all these amazing Mom made products out there that we all support and love and get them onto one spot to help get these products out to more people.
These women had terrific ideas and worked hard to develop their products exactly how they knew they should be made. They cared about their products because they had originally created them for their own use and wanted to share the solutions with other moms. But, getting on a retail shelf is not easy - or cheap. They needed a way to get their solutions to other moms & Shelley helped create the environment to do so.
We have checked out the website which is constantly adding new inventory and have decided to share a few of our favorite things! There are some really amazing useful products on this site so make sure you check them all out!
The water extender immediately caught our eye. A simple device that sends the water out further for the Tiny Little Hands trying to get clean! This immediately went into our shopping cart so we would no longer have to worry about the Tiny One balancing on the edge of the sink! Score!
The cute little booboo mittens were a neat idea for kids when they get hurt. We really like the kissy lips on them ;) The place mat chalkboard also caught our eye! You would not understand (well maybe you might) the amount of times we have had meltdowns during meal time when we are out and about. This easy to transport chalkboard helps make the wait for your food tremendously easier! We have actually seen this product before and own one made by a military mom and we adore it! This stays in our car all the time and gets used frequently!
Be still my heart, a special sippy cup and umbrella just for Mom!
I would probably fill it with cranberry juice and prance around walking around my neighborhood with it, or maybe this would be perfect for the beach this summer!
Please drink responsibly
There are tons of other fun and unique and inventive ideas on Moms Flourish, please stop on by and take a peek and let us know what you think!
To celebrate Moms in Business, Moms Flourish has given us a very special discount code for our fans and readers. Simply use the code to the right and you can save 10% on all your orders. This would be the perfect time to get a last minute gift for Mother's Day (you all know which one I want right?), a shower gift, birthday present or even just something you could use around the house.
Help other Moms Flourish and Enjoy your shopping and savings while you do so!

Automatic Christmas tree waterer
Santa Tree Fountain
Automatic houseplant waterer
Eliminates stooping and guesswork. Eliminates spills and overfilling, too. Waters the tree automatically, remotely, and only as needed by creating a siphoning action that conveys the stored water to the tree through a flexible plastic hose. Water is stored in a partial vacuum and stays fresh at all times.
Santa Tree Fountain is functional, ornamental, and fun. Unique automatic tree waterer consists of a 1-gallon water reservoir molded in the figure of Santa Claus atop a base holder decorated to resemble a chimney top.
5' hose allows placement of the waterer away from the stand, which means you don't have to crawl under the tree, wade through branches of pine needles, and disturb gifts and decorations before you can water the tree.
4-liter capacity waterer can generally make it through an entire holiday season with only 3 to 4 refills, depending on the size and freshness of the tree.
Translucent Santa allows you to check the water level at a glance. And Santa burps to let you know the tree is drinking.
System has just 3 simple parts: reservoir, base, and vinyl tubing. No moving parts; nothing to adjust. Set up is simple. Works well with all types of stands. 14" high x 7.5" diameter. Made in USA.
Note: some clients call this item our Santa head Christmas tree watering system.
Christmas Tree Waterer has 2 user ratings out of 5 stars

BEIJING -- A group of knife-wielding men attacked a train station in southwestern China on Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead and another 109 injured, the official Xinhua News Agency said, making it one of the deadliest attacks in China in recent years.
Xinhua did not provide more details about the evening attack at the Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan province, or identify the attackers. Kunming city police said they did not have any immediate information to release about the attack.
Local television station K6 said that several of the attackers were shot by police and that victims were being transported to local hospitals.
The state-run Yunnan News said that the men were wearing uniforms when they stormed the railway station and that gunshots were heard after police responded.
Photos circulating online showed scattered luggage and bodies lying on the floor in blood.
The motive behind the attack was not immediately clear, but China has seen a number of mass stabbings and other attacks carried out by people bearing grudges against society.

Toronto: where to go, NOT to be seen
- NoFixedAddress Jul 14, 2007 11:14 AM
I need an upscale place, not snobby service or foo-foo
Good wine list, something different from regular fare, perhaps something newer or even a restaurant that has classic fare
My friend is coming in from L.A. and has been to a lot a restaurants around the world
Has to have excellent service, but not over-bearing, a place where I can take someone who is in the public eye, but doesn't wish to be bothered etc......
Any suggestions most welcome.......
Canoe and Bymark are upscale and know how to handle celebrities. Also Jump if you want somewhere more relaxed, although the food there is not quite as good. If you're mainly interested in the wine list you could try Via Allegro, but it's harder to be inconspicuous there.
re: dinin and dishin
Scaramouche and Chiado both came to mind for me too. But Susur has expensive wines and seems to be more of a celebrity place (although arguably the best chef in Toronto).
If I want to impress guests from NYC, I take them to Chiado - nothing like it elsewhere in North America and a stunning (albeit expensive) winelist. Literally several hundred selections of portuguese wine (and a few Canadian selections). No other countries represented!
Some of the freshest fish in toronto - but avoid the traditional 'heavy' Portuguese dishes in favour of something more 'fusion'.
re: estufarian
estufararian, I noticed in another thread that you are soon heading to Montreal. Since you enjoy Chiado you would also enjoy Ferreira: http://www.ferreiracafe.com/EN/
re: estufarian
I haven't been to Chiado in about 4 years, so I can't comment on their current form. Why do you recommend avoiding the traditional Portuguese dishes? Are they not prepared as well? When I was in Portugal in 2004 I had some fantastic traditional cuisine and have always looked for a close replica. To think of it I'm not sure why I never went back to Chiado to compare?
re: Apprentice
If you want the 'traditional' dishes I recommend going to a 'hole-in-the-wall' type portuguese place. There's nothing wrong with the ones at Chiado, but the more 'modern' dishes at Chiado are exceptional and not easily available elsewhere.
Given the prices, the "value" lies in the more creative side of the menu. Why spend the big bucks on something that's really bistro or home-cooking fare when you have the opportunity to try some excellent creative dishes for the same money?
Note that this recommendation was aimed at "out-of-towners" who travel extensively - and it's currently summer. I'd be much more inclined to be traditional in the winter.
I tend to go somewhere like Piri-Piri for my more down-to-earth portuguese cuisine - at a fraction of the cost of Chiado - not as good but MUCH cheaper. (And just re-read this post - I don't consider Piri-piri "hole in the wall" - I was just trying to emphasize the contrast.
re: estufarian
Well said, points taken.
re: estufarian
Hi estufarian, when you say avoiding traditional 'heavy' Portuguese dish at Chiado, do you mean Assorda ? Did you try it there and think it is not well cooked ?
Honestly no matter where you go you can't control the patrons. I suggest you go somewhere you already like and know. Preferably at least one of those involves an entrance that isn't through a crowded sidewalk and hopefully has a smaller room off of the main so you can limit how many are around you. Otherwise, you might try going to one of the four star hotel restos such as Truffles. Discretion is a necessary component of any succesful hotel.
You've just described Mistura to a tee. It sounds like it would be exactly what you're looking for. Excellent service, upscale fabulous food, staff are very professional and hospitable. We've been many times and have never, ever been disappointed. I would take anyone there and feel confident that that they would be duly impressed. Keep us posted. I'm curious to hear what you decided on in the end!!!
I'd say Perigee-it's one of the best dining destinations you have, and it's small-if you ask for the kitchen table at the end (away from the entrance) you won't be near anyone.
And, people will be enjoying the food so much they won't care who else is there (at least that would be true for me!)
You might tell your LA friend that the food is similar in tone to Opus (not the atmosphere-much more low key, no bar scene at all.)
Opus is upscale with classic fare. Located in Yorkville, it's used to hosting all types of high-powered business or celebrity types. It also has a stellar wine cellar -- 2006 Wine Spectator Grand Award winner.
re: Degustation
I think I have it narrowed down to:
Perigee, Opus and Mistura
Actually Mistura would be perfect, I completely forgot about it, was there last year, great food and Mamismo (laaaa Chef) , I think that is his name, even came out to say hello
re: NoFixedAddress
If you end up at Mistura, do check out Sopra, the jazz bar they have opened upstairs. It's a great looking room, with a more casual vibe than Mistura - but the same great food.
re: NoFixedAddress
Massimo Capra
re: NoFixedAddress
Yes Massimo, he pretty much comes around at least once during the evening. Last time we were there he told us he has a cookbook coming out in October. We really enjoy him. Paulo too. Seems Masimmo looks after Mistura and Sopra is Paulo's baby. If you like action, go on a Thursday night, Sopra seems esp. hopping then.
I'd have to disagree with Batifole. While the food is good, it is not what I would consider upscale and don't think it would impress an out of towner, particularly one that has done a lot of travelling.
Batifole would be my suggestion. Great French bistro food - I've never had a bad meal there. Upscale service with a kind of no frills decor.
re: Davwud
Auberge du Pommier - excellent food, great service and off the beaten track.
re: zoezer
The Drake Hotel has private dining rooms
re: Davwud
The wine list at the Superior is surprisingly good, but I have been underwhelmed by the food. Good. Solid. Not outstanding.
re: hungry_pangolin
On the other hand, their desserts are divine. To me, the Superior is strictly a drinks and dessert kind of venue.
Harbour Sixty is classic. The food is not imaginative, but if you're in a meat-eating mood,their steak is really quite perfect (everything else is executed with similar quality). The service is impeccable, and if, as erly suggested, you wanted a private room, I believe they can accommodate.
Anyone been to Bellinis in yorkville lately? I used to go there 8 years ago they never had a named chef but had the top service in the city. They made everyone feel like a star except the stars they made feel like normal people.. supurbly treated normal people that is..
I remember eating there and Marlee Matlin (sp) the deaf actress was in.. she recieved the menu and started laughing her head off... I asked our waiter and he said she was in town filming a move and had eaten there several times. They have a list on the back of the menu of the stars who had eaten there. She asked how many times did she have to come in to get on the list? Then next time she was in they had a special menu printed up and the back page was just her name repeated over and over..
Little touches like this made them a destination for the stars in Toronto...
But I have not been in 5 years and know the ownership has changed.. Can anyone comment?
