Emin's skill has been usurped by celebrity
Published: 19 May 2011
A scrupulous art critic must admit that it was with a groan that he greeted the first news of Tracey Emin's exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, with a groan that he read the premature ejaculatory articles and with a groan that he wandered through this retrospective celebration of unmediated autobiographical relics and self-centred sentimentality.
In the years since Charles Saatchi brought her to the fore in his Sensation show at the Royal Academy in 1997, I have said very little of Miss Emin; at that he exhibited her Tent, to the interior of which she had patchworked the names of "everyone I have ever slept with", a thing of puerile simplicity, and, two years later, he acquired the tumbled bed that was her notorious installation for the Turner Prize, a squalid relic of concupiscence and misery reconstructed in self-pity. Neither had much to do with art, both justified my contempt for the parading of herself that were the works of her earlier hang-out years, and I thought that even our insane contemporary art world would have enough common sense to let her fade into obscurity. She did not. She became instead, largely through the amused but sceptical interest of the popular press, a very public figure, cunningly exploiting ignorance, irascible emotion and raw sex to draw attention to herself.
In unholy symbiosis, the more Miss Emin played the drunken slut, the more attention the press paid and the more she became the creature of the art establishment, nationally and internationally, promoted by the Serota Tendency (ever Mammon's mate) and the Arts and British Councils, with her art dealer Jay Jopling ensconced in his White Cube quietly making fortunes for himself and her. It was and is still an unspoken but consensual conspiracy.
Now held in awe by deluded men as sage, sibyl and Margate's thaumaturge, most women, I am told, see her as some sort of heroic victim, raped as a child, ravaged as a teenager, sweetly sentimental towards her miserable self, yet still full of longing for the status of adored princess, part fairytale, part working-class mythology. Two such women are to give talks during the course of the exhibition and have contributed essays to the catalogue. Halfway through hers, Jennifer Doyle, a Californian professor of literature and gender studies, is so moved by her exploration of abortion (twice Miss Emin's experience - "1992 Became pregnant again - had another abortion - didn't give a damn. Just did it - dealt with it without heart"), the sweetness of children, the tenderness of mothering, the body in trauma and the emotions in revolt that Miss Emin fades from her narrative and is replaced by Miss Doyle herself. Perhaps, however, this is exactly what Miss Emin sets out to achieve with her grinding concern for her body and emotions, the requirement that all women should respond to her abject predicaments with such powerful but essentially feminine empathy that they, by transference, assume Miss Emin's miserable self-concern.
This is all very well but it eliminates half her potential audience. As a man, I do not feel excluded from the distress of Madame Bovary and Madame Butterfly, but, as a witness of Miss Emin's self-examination, I remain an uninvolved outsider and feel not the slightest sympathy. In truth, I feel nothing for her relaxations of the sphincter of her bladder, nothing for her masturbation, nothing for her sexual conjugations, nothing for her abortions and nothing for her current menopausal state. I am utterly unmoved by all the means that she ineptly employs to mirror or narrate her various experiences, her silly patchwork blankets, her feeble scratchy monoprints and drawings, her Kodak Brownie photographs, her neon signs, videos and records of futile live performances, and her variations on the shed I see only as clear evidence of an arrested infantile craving for the aedicula - she should indeed have seen a psychiatrist in 1981, as was advised when she dropped out of the Medway College of Design.
I do not recognise the almost mystical status conferred on her as an artist whose life, art and being are so interrelated as to be inseparable (surely the case too with every artist of any weight), when her life and being so greatly outweigh the very little that might (but only with extreme generosity) perhaps be classified as art.
Being Miss Emin is her core activity. "Look at me,
look at me!" she barks to get an audience and, then, like some fraudulent medieval marketeer of relics, gulls us into venerating the trivial keepsakes of herself that she now exhibits in glass cases.
The other woman contributor to the catalogue, the writer Ali Smith, promotes Miss Emin as a major literary figure, "really good with words", her misspellings, as with "Picaso", offering "a whole new possibility of the notion of Picasso the missing letter makes you look twice " If her essay demonstrates anything (apart from the folly of encouraging writers who know nothing of art to write ekphrastic bilge), it is that Miss Emin likes to be frank with words that are, for the moment, largely not to be said or printed in polite society. To some extent I agree - I have in the past written in favour of fuck as a verb and noun, its loveless, selfish, gleeful and trophy note so much more truthful than the common euphemisms; and I am inclined to argue for cunt in the context of Lucian Freud, again because it is more fitting for his blunt and loveless imagery, with nothing of the coyness of Augustus John's Romany references to cunnie; but Miss Emin seems to employ the word for the small shock value that it may still have.
Are any of us now really shocked by "my cunt is wet with fear", a neon sign that can only have meaning over the door of a brothel, or by "a rose is a cunt is a rose" (a play on cunt by any other name), a carefully posed photograph of Miss Emin enthralling us with legs wide apart stuffing banknotes into her vagina? For this there is a classical precedent in that Danaë, consequently mother of Perseus, was seduced by Zeus metamorphosed into a shower of gold - a not uncommon subject in Renaissance painting, an allegory of prostitution and an opportunity for mild pornography tinged with wry male humour - but, as Miss Emin shows no evidence of education, it is to be doubted that she knows of it and the kinship of imagery is mere coincidence. Blake, Van Gogh, Munch and Klimt have been claimed as her antecedents but I doubt if she knows in any depth anything of the arts and cultures of the past that, until a century ago, used to inform the arts and cultures of the present. But to return to cunt, surely DH Lawrence, if his use of it in Lady Chatterley's Lover failed to elevate it into the polite conversation of our grandparents in 1928, must posthumously have inspired its resurrection after the famous obscenity trial of 1960, when the literary lions of England closed ranks against the censor; when, in 1977, two decades before Miss Emin's scattering it hither and yon, Gilbert and George trounced the taboo with their Dirty Words Pictures, hardly an eyebrow moved.
The last words of Miss Emin's interview with Ralph Rugoff, director of the Hayward Gallery, are: "What's it all about? What am I doing? And I'm still asking those questions now." And so are we.
How has it been possible for Miss Emin, once notoriously drunk and abusive, formerly "Mad Tracey from Margit", now moaning with self-pity , to have become, as the Hayward's panjandrum put it, one of this country's "most renowned and celebrated artists"? How have our definitions of art and, even more preposterously, sculpture, been so elastic as to include crudely patchworked blankets, crude images of body functions, crude neon admonitions and crude lifesize dilapidations of the beach hut? Far from being "really good with words", she is illiterate, witless, turns the alphabet topsy-turvy and employs the language of graffiti boys. Miss Emin's words and images, laden with catharsis, are less art than bullying demands for empathy.
Skill, if she ever had any, has been usurped by celebrity; celebrity has been nourished by deliberate outrage and offence; and now, in the constant public parading of private distress, she has developed a hectoring arrogance that conflicts with what is left of the instinctive self-abjection that has always been her home-made muse.
The title of her retrospective, so tediously repetitious that neither shock nor distaste survives it, is Love Is What You Want, its emblem a neon sign with these words contained within a heart, bathetic, silly, sentimental, the stuff of the teenage girl besotted with boy bands rather than the serious business we might reasonably expect of a mature and famous woman of 47. Weighed down with self-expression, producing it has, no doubt, been therapeutic for Miss Emin and we, simple wanderers through the circles of her hell, now know the answer to her question, "What's it all about?" You, dear Miss Emin, you - but you have never been enough.

11 Signs Your Companys Mood Has Souredand What to Do About It
When your whole company is in a bad mood, employees dont feel that they have a stake in its futureand thats a problem. Heres how to turn a bad mood around.
Is your company in a bad mood? The signs arent always overt. People arent biting each others heads off or glaring sullenly across the conference table. (Thats home, not work!) Instead, it feels like everyone is just coasting. Rather than digging for solutions, they make a cursory effort and then lay the problem at your feet. Theyre not cage-rattlers and idea-sharers; theyre "yes men" and passive compliers. If you could be the proverbial fly on the wall (instead of the boss in the hall), you suspect youd hear far more bitching and blaming than the faked enthusiasm you usually hear. ...Read More

text: My first few years with The Hamster were ones of smugly healthy eating – for him and me. Proud of my extended breastfeeding, organic baby food, mostly homemade and thoughtful take along snacks, I felt sure that nutritious eating would always be part of his life. Silly me. Now at almost 5, with just a toe in the water of the real world, he is deluged by opportunities to forgo healthy eating. From lollipops at the bank to chocolate kisses at the post office to hard candy at the barbers, an errand running day turns into an exercise in sugar ingestion. After several years of almost imperceptible head shaking, sometimes acknowledged, The Hamster caught on. He now watches me, not the purveyor of forbidden treats and complains loudly if I decline. I demure. Struggling for balance I eventually developed, what I call, "The in and out" rule. In the house we eat healthy foods. Outside the house, just about anything goes…within limits, of course. If he is offered candy, cookies, cakes, preservative laden "fruit" snacks or a juice box, I generally allow him to have some but, not many. This sometimes means making a quick exit, but often he is satisfied with just one. As his world expands, grocery shopping has become a bit more challenging. The mantra, "Mommy doesn't buy candy; Mommy doesn't buy that kind of fruit snack; they're not healthy; Mommy doesn't buy…" is mumbled monotonously throughout the trip, less often now, thankfully as, he is getting the message. At home, healthy snacks are a part of life and, like any child; he is willing to live on snacks, rather than real food for days at a time. Fortunately, the contents of our pantry ease my conscience when I lazily allow him to do so. What do I stock? Here are some of The Hamster's favorite snacks. 1. Vegie Tray - Raw Carrots, broccoli, green beans and ranch dip 2. Organic Cheese sticks 3. Organic cereal bars 4. Fruit all kinds – strawberries, kiwi, grapes, oranges, mangos, bananas, blueberries 5. Baked chips - Pita Chips, veggie chips, tortilla chips 6. Crackers – Annies' Organic gold bunnies are his favorite 7. Frozen Yogurt pops – he won't eat yogurt, so I freeze the squeeze kind (organic, low sugar) 8. Olives 9. Frozen organic waffles 10. Fruit Leather – the all fruit, no added sugar kind 11. Dried fruit - cranberries, apricots, apples, cherries 12. Nuts all different kinds 13. Lots of seeds – Sunflower, pumpkin, etc. Most of these I purchase at Trader Joe's, though traditional grocery stores are carrying more and more variety. And, I make minor exceptions on Halloween, Christmas, Easter and other candy giving holidays (aren't they all?) This seems to work for us. What works for you? Check out mindful momma's post on this topic too! More about the Thursday Thirteen meme.

Editor Find: Secret Foodie Getaway in Italy
Some of us go to Italy to spend a day (or three, or more) swooning over Caravaggios and Berninis, but all of us, deep down, go to Italy to eat. How better to get swept up in la dolce vita if not via the country's legendary cuisine? And if food is your calling, follow my example and book a night (or three, or more) at Antica Corte Pallavicina.
Think of it like Italy's Blue Hill Stone Barns: Michelin starred, a half hour away from the city (Parma), and an idyllic country retreat where there's nothing better to do than indulge. Housed in a lovingly restored 800-year-old palazzo formerly owned by a noble family of salt traders, there are six rooms with original frescoed ceilings and names that hark to the original residents (Stanza del Duchi, for instance, is named for Count Sforza and his wife Bianca, who visited in 1447).

What does the male visitor to Asia do after the sun goes down? He has a choice of two things: turn up the air-conditioner, turn off the light, and go to sleep, or go out and get laid. This book is for those who choose the second option.
Businessman Paul is on a beachside vacation to unwind and enjoy the sun, the sand and the surf - sometimes from below the waves. While scuba diving, he encounters a trio of cuttlefish that turn out to be much more than they seem: they're shapeshifters, and they want Paul for their own! Warning: 18+ only! Contains partial shifting, hot gay sex, and a cuttlefish shifter gangbang!Read an excerpt:"You know how you wanted to see what it was like to be one of us?" Irvin asked, his deep voice quiet."Yes?""We're gonna show you."Paul found himself surrounded by the three cuttle-shifters, all of them naked, all of them eager to get his clothes off him. What the hell, why not, he thought. It was a vacation, after all.Quick, wiry little Apama's and Simon's fingers worked at the buttons of his shirt and pants, shucking them off him as easily as they might shuck an oyster. They worked quickly and soon he was naked as the rest of them, the ocean breeze playing across his freshly-tanned skin and making him shiver. Irvin was looking him over, his eyes hungry, taking in each inch of him.

Facebook, Zuckerberg, Morgan Stanley Sued by Shareholders
Class action lawsuit, launched Wednesday, alleges info was hidden by Facebook, Morgan Stanley prior to IPO
[Depending] on how this plays out, it could be a big deal if they did something wrong. We live in such a litigious society that if they are found having hidden information, they could wind up paying out millions of dollarsZeus Kerravalaan analyst at ZK Research
Less than a week after Facebook's initial public offering, the social networking firm's new shareholders Wednesday filed a class action lawsuit against the company, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Morgan Stanley and others.
The lawsuit alleges that Facebook executives, including Zuckerberg, CFO David Ebersman, company board members, underwriter Morgan Stanley and others intentionally hid negative views of the company's revenue growth potential prior to last week's IPO.
Facebook officials and its investors could have cause for concern as the lawsuit was filed by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, a San Diego-based law firm that won $7 billion for Enron shareholders from the energy firm's investors.
"[Depending] on how this plays out, it could be a big deal if they did something wrong," said Zeus Kerravala, an analyst at ZK Research. "We live in such a litigious society that if they are found having hidden information, they could wind up paying out millions of dollars."
He added that the lawsuit, along with Facebook's already flagging share price, is a big distraction for Facebook executives. "It takes away from running the business," Kerravala said.
On top of the lawsuit, the IPO also is reportedly being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an independent securities regulator.
Eyebrows were initially raised last Friday when the Facebook's shares failed to hit $50 to $90 a share last Friday after the IPO as some experts had expected. The first day of trading instead ended with a stock price just slightly above it's $38 offer price.
On Monday, the share price sunk to about $34, and then declined a few dollars more yesterday.
The lawsuit alleges that Facebook executives, including Zuckerberg, CFO David Ebersman, company board members, underwriter Morgan Stanley and others intentionally hid negative views of the company's revenue growth potential prior to last week's IPO
Concerns about the offering were further raised late Monday when Reuters reported that analysts at Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for the IPO, had cut their Facebook revenue forecasts without informing most investors.
The lawsuit notes that 421 million shares of Facebook sold in the IPO. Earlier today, shares were trading for around $31 per share.
"While defendants pocketed billions of dollars ... plaintiffs and the Class have suffered losses of more than $2.5 billion since the IPO," the legal complaint alleges.
In the months before Facebook's IPO, there was mounting excitement that reached something of a frenzy early last week. Facebook's name filled newspaper and online headlines and was the talk on television newsrooms and around office break rooms.
At the same time, the company did take a few stumbles in the days leading up to the IPO.
For instance, Zuckerberg was publicly chastised for wearing jeans and a hoodie sweatshirt during a presentation to buttoned-down Wall Street investors. His casual appearance left some wondering whether the 28-year-old had the maturity to run a major public company.
And as questions arose about Facebook's ability to monetize its growing base of mobile users, General Motors pulled plans for a major ad buy, explaining that its advertising on Facebook wasn't working as expected.
The lawsuit, the SEC investigation and all the bad press "will hurt the firm's image massively and may force a change at the top," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group, who suggested that Facebook hire a professional disaster management team.

How Can US Residents Play Poker Online?
Several years ago this question sounded really strange. What's the problem? All you have to do is to find a good poker room online via search engines, newsletters, poker portals etc. and bang - you are playing poker either for free or for real money. Today playing poker online is way harder for US citizens because of payment methods restrictions and also because many rooms closed to US market. Below you will find the problem, history, and solutions for the American poker playing community.
Poker Rooms Open to USA Players - 2014
|Bovada Poker
|$1,000 Welcome Poker Bonus, Sunday $100,000 Guaranteed Tournaments!
|Full Flush Poker
|150% WELCOME BONUS UP TO $1500 on ALL First Deposits!
|BetOnline Poker
|Poker is back in the USA, big time. Join the thousands making their new home for poker at BetOnline
|Carbon Poker
|CarbonPoker is accepting US players starting from October 13th, 2011!
|Juicy Stakes Poker
|Juicy Stakes Poker - 200% poker bonus, $500 match!
|Americas Cardroom
|$1,000 First Deposit Bonus!
Update: October 2014
October 2014 saw us draw a little closer to the first $1 Million Guaranteed online poker tournament for US players for many years, as Americas Cardroom began to push the Winning Millions tournament that takes place on December 14th. That's something all US online poker players should be taking a look at, and as of October 31st, new players can get a seat in that massive $1 Million tourney for making just a $10 initial deposit and gaining ACR rewards points. Full Flush Poker also had something to shout about as they began their 1st year birthday celebrations, and there's a whole host of huge tournaments and big poker bonuses up for grabs, with new players now being offered a superb 150% bonus up to $1,500.
The biggest US online poker room of them all, that of Bovada, really pushed the boat out for its upcoming Golden Spade Poker Open with that taking place in November, and they also doubled the deal on their refer friend program. As the winter nights draw in you'll find that many more players take to the tables of US online poker rooms, meaning that there's even more action at the real money tables, and it's even easier to jump in on the games of your choice.
September 2014
September was a busy month in the world of US online poker and almost all big US facing rooms served up big promotions, with possibly Bovada Poker standing out from the pack. September saw the launch of several cool Bovada offers, and they will be running through fall, with players getting the chance to play their way to the Super Bowl in Arizona in the great Poker Bowl promotion. There's also seats up for grabs to the big one in November, the Punta Cana Poker Classic and on top of that there's the huge Golden Spade Poker Open that has $2 Million in guaranteed prize money up for grabs and runs through until November.
Not to be left too far behind Carbon Poker launched their very own Super Bowl promo called Freeroll Your Way to the Super Bowl which asks you to pick winning teams in the Monday night game before taking your seat in a Tuesday freeroll. Americas Cardroom gave us details of their new deal which is a monster real money Texas Hold'em promotion called The Cage and they also started pushing their biggest ever online poker tournament that will see $1 Million guaranteed up for grabs in the Winning Millions tournament. Full Flush Poker have been growing massively and due to that have boosted many of the guaranteed amounts on their tourneys and also upped the welcome bonus to a cool 150% up to $1,500...now that's a cool welcome deal! It's all go in US online poker and as we head into the longer nights and the winter starts to set in, it's usually the case that more players hit the tables and the action gets even hotter.
Playing Poker for Americans – The Problem
The serious problem started on May 25, 2006 when the House passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, a bill that put restrictions on accepting credit cards, checks, or other bank instruments from gamblers who illegally bet over the Internet". Though the debate about what is legal and what is not are still continuing, a number of practical steps were taken by e-wallet solution providers and currently this is the problem for the poker community. A number of big brands has left the US market and a number of big deposit methods were wiped out of the market.
Playing poker for Americans – The Solution
We are trying to help people to play online poker because we believe this is one of their basic rights. Luckily, there are many others who agree and this creates the positive momentum for poker rooms to stay and let US residents play poker online. The situation is extremely dynamic, so we found it's useful to keep our site visitors up to date and publish poker rooms here that accept specific payment methods for those of you who have one, and general recommendations for the Poker rooms accepting US players.
Payment Methods Available for US Residents
Popular Credit Cards - The oldest, quickest, and the most trouble free way to deposit money to a poker account is to use your credit card. Well, when it works;
Bank Wire - Slow, but reliable way to deposit your poker account. Once money is getting to the poker vendor, you'll see the money on your poker account.
Check by Mail - Very slow, because your check physically has to reach the poker room, but sometimes the only possibility.
Western Union - If you experience problems with your credit card, the old fashion WU transaction can solve your problem.
Where to Play Online Poker for Money?
We would like to recommend a number of poker rooms accepting the payment methods listed above and who proved themselves to be solid, reliable companies, providing cutting edge technology and good service for US residents. Play for fun or play for real money – the choice is yours.

Comments about Apple® Lightning® to USB Camera Adapter:
This transferred my vacation photos to my iPad Air very quickly with ease from my camera. It was smooth and effortless. All that I had to do was decide who to share them with and/or how I wanted to share them via my iPad Air . It was a wonderful experience using the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter! For me it was well worth the price as a necessary accessory.
Comments about Apple® Lightning® to USB Camera Adapter:
I bought this item for my music DJ rig. I had a party that night, and my cable was not working at all! I quickly ran out to Staples to pick one up, and once I got it home, everything worked great! The rig sounded perfect, my party went smoothly, and all of the connections worked well. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to pick one of these up at my local Staples store kn such short notice. It literally saved what could have been a very sticky situation later that night. Thanks so much!

Comments about Apple® Lightning® to USB Camera Adapter:
This adapter appears to work. I had hoped that this would work with thumb drives. NOPE! If you plug in a thumb drive, iphoto app starts up and you get a message stating the name of the thumb drive you plugged in. There is also a message that it draws too much current. If you plug in a powered USB hub - with or without the thumb drive plugged in, the iphoto app starts up and then acts like you didn't plug anything in. It does not even see photos.
I do not transfer photos with a cable. I plug the sd card into an adapter. This adapter was worthless to me. I may try again with a USB thumb drive and home-made powered cable (to bypass the high-current error message - without using a hub).
I worked with proprietary small-business computers in the early 1980's. It is good for the company, but expensive and frustrating for the customer. You can only do what the company allows.
This adapter does appear to be made with quality.

At the Las Vegas press conference for Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley, trainer Freddie Roach took some time from his busy schedule to break down several aspects of the fight. Pacquiao is a heavy favorite heading into his Las Vegas showdown against the former three-division champion from Pomona, California but Roach isn't one to take Mosley lightly.

Hi Trash,
It's been a while. Last time you and I were in touch Em and I had just gotten back to the USA after years in Japan. We've been on a roller coaster ride getting settled into our new life. In between times, Em started snooping around for new guys to replace the ones she had to leave behind.
Speaking of "behinds," here's Emma's behind getting a proper treatment from one of those new guys… Her current pick of the litter.

Traditional Indian meals served on gilded-edge plates infuse Maharaja Palace with a bouquet of curry, mustard seed, and mint. Crisp pani poori puff appetizers give a satisfying crackle as teeth break through to their chickpea-and-potato-filled cores, and drifts of basmati rice arrive tossed with green peas or beefed up with saffron and chicken. A simmering array of vegetable, seafood, chicken, and tandoori entrees emerge from pots or a clay oven, helping owners of factory-defect atlases experience the world's other side. Garlic naan or pudina paratha wipe plates clean of sauce, and glasses brimming with wine, beer, or sweet lassi clink occasionally, like the world's laziest steel-drum player.
With Bombay Talkie, Sunitha Ramaiah envisions a restaurant whose cuisine reflects her own life experiences, which include a childhood in southern India and adulthood in the cultural m?lange of New York City. Her chefs, she says, serve "the food of my childhood, the food of everyday India," basing their menu on recipes from Indian roadside caf?s and using fragrant blends of fenugreek, tamarind, and cloves, which characterize meals from the country's southern regions. Bombay Talkie sets itself apart from tradition, however, by serving dishes in a tapas style, with large entrees minimized in favor of smaller, well-composed plates of vibrant cuisine. Lemon-tinged rice balances red swaths of tandoori chicken, and the lamb chops' cilantro-mint sauce lends a splash of color more vibrant than Willy Wonka?s contact lenses.
The gallery-white walls and exposed brickwork of Bombay Talkie's dining room feature paintings of Bollywood film scenes, alluding to India's ubiquitous displays of movie billboards. Carved from a single piece of teak, a stool-lined communal table dominates one entire side of the dining room, with the rest of the space featuring a similarly earth-tone collection of custom-designed leather booths.:m]]
Shalom Bombay operates under the strict supervision of The Orthodox Union, meaning compliance with kosher dietary laws, such as nixing milk and butter for olive oil, and replacing meat from tofu birds with the vine-ripened alternative. This approach has earned Shalom Bombay a unique following, including celebs such as Rosie O'Donnell, Matisyahu, and Senator Menendez. Bombay's more than 20 vegetarian entrées have also helped earn the 50-seat eatery positive reviews from both The New York Times and The Jewish Voice.
Four-foot flames warm the faces of Bombay chefs as they fuse beef and lamb with sumptuous accents of ginger, onion, and fenugreek. While fresh naan and cashew accented chicken bake in Shalom's clay tandoor oven, a fully stocked bar serves up unique beers such as India-imported '1947'––a nod to the year of India's independence, and universally agreed to be the best year for salt water taffy.
Reflected in its name, Chote Nawab sources its menu inspiration from the Indian city of Lucknow's chote nawabs—"little princes"—who were famous for their kebab-crafting royal kitchens and hospitality. Their signature kebabs come to life as cooks place skewers lined with grilled garlic broccoli, rolls of lamb, boneless chicken thighs, and other kebabable morsels into tandoori ovens. The cooks also specialize in Hyderabadi dum biryani, which involves preparing basmati rice and on-the-bone meat inside a sealed pot designed to trap in flavors and keep out food-licking ghosts. Patrons also enjoy a modern version of Lucknow princes' renowned hospitality inside a dining area featuring high ceilings and minimalistic concrete walls lined with colorful Indian artwork.
Inside the casual, orange-rimmed dining room of Curry Dream, snowy tablecloths provide elegant, neutral backdrops for plates of colorful Indian dishes, whose halal and kosher meats harmonize with other imported ingredients and meticulously balanced spice blends. Meat-centric dishes—including chicken cooked in a clay oven or covered in curry sauce—share menu space with more than 14 vegetarian options that range from mushrooms cooked with spinach to veggie biryani. Diners can complement meals with 10 bread selections, including white naan filled with housemade cheese as well as whole-wheat paratha stuffed with mashed potatoes, light spices, and the occasional engagement ring.
Curry and Tandoor Corner reimagines centuries of Indian culinary traditions with a diverse bill of fare that showcases exotically spiced curries, vegetarian entrees, and tandoori dishes. Oven-baked naan sops up saucy morsels of chicken, vegetables, lamb, and fish, augmented with zesty chili peppers and curry spices. Skilled chefs accessorize their meticulously crafted tandoori dishes with mint or mango chutney, creating a flavorful punch that doesn't require taking an uppercut from the Hamburger Helper mascot.

It's been a massive week for Marvel, with HUGE announcements – but how have the world reacted to them? Read on!
Week of Marvels 01/11/2014
What's going on with mutant rights?
"Sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them." That's always been the X-Men's catchphrase. But how bad is it getting? Continue reading What's going on with mutant rights?
Marvel movies – up and coming!

Week of Marvel 25/10/2014
With the release of the first Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, there's just one question. How would Ultron play the part of Mary Poppins? Read on and learn!
Six Classic Comic Book Deaths
It's over. Marvel have killed Wolverine; and as the comics resound with the repercussions, I want to briefly look at the lessons Marvel have learned when they've killed some pretty major figures before…
Uncle Ben
Let's start with the classic, from Amazing Fantasy #15!
A single moment of selfishness became the defining moment of Peter Parker's life, as he chose to stand by and let a thief escape. That same thief was later responsible for killing Peter's Uncle Ben, and Peter realised the lesson that has always been so central to his career as Spider-Man: with great power comes great responsibility.
So defining is Uncle Ben's death that Marvel have seemingly never been tempted to resurrect him. Such an event would destroy everything that makes Spider-Man who he is, and leave the whole series on some very, very shaky foundations…
Lesson: Sometimes death lasts. And when it does, it can stand at the very centre of a super-hero's character.
Marvel 2015 – Up and Coming
Wolverine's End: Not with a bang, but a whimper
Forty years ago, writer Len Wein and artist John Romita, Sr. penned a single issue of Incredible Hulk that would change X-Men history. They introduced a new character, an opponent for the Hulk known as the Wolverine; in 1975, Wein and artist Dave Cockrum brought Wolverine into the second generation of the X-Men, and the rest was history.
Today… he dies. Continue reading Wolverine's End: Not with a bang, but a whimper

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
"The Chinese have a saying: 'Before setting off on revenge, you first dig two graves.'"The one with The Alleged Car chase.A British spy ship accidentally fishes out a mine and goes to the bottom. Unfortunately, it contains a secret device that sends orders to British nuclear missile submarines.007, after visiting Tracy's grave and dropping someone who strongly resembles Blofeld down a chimney (at what is now the location of the Millennium Dome, which would feature in The World Is Not Enough), is sent to find the ship and who was responsible for the murders of two people looking for it. While shadowing his target, he is captured and then saved via a crossbow bolt, after which he meets Melina Havelock, the Girl of the Movie and an Action Girl archer who wants to get revenge for her murdered parents.One of the very few Bond films in which the Soviets are explicitly bad guys (the others tend to involve them as allies against a common evil). Even here, they are more respectful competitors; after all, if you hear of a chance to get a key item that could give you a strategic advantage over your official enemies, you'd have to be a utter idiot not to make a play for it. As it is, General Gogol not only survives uninjured in the attempt, but stops Bond from being shot when he destroys the device at the end of the film and concedes the loss without a fuss.This film is somewhat of a mish-mash of two Fleming short stories ("For Your Eyes Only" and "Risico"), with a scene from Live and Let Die thrown in and some more plot added. It has also been compared to From Russia with Love, as the aforementioned secret device is similar to a MacGuffin featured in the earlier film.Perhaps as a reaction to the perceived excesses of goofy humour and credibility-stretching adventure in the previous movie, Moonraker, this movie is far closer to a classic spy yarn, with almost no gadgets deployed, no "larger than life henchman with a gimmick" and the bad guys simply being shot (in one case) and going away empty-handed in the other.The dark tone to the film (by far the darkest for Moore) oddly comes from Timothy Dalton. When he was first courted by Cubby Broccoli he was asked what kind of Bond he would play. He briefed Cubby on a much darker, edgier Bond grounded in reality, and this script was born, making a note of killing off the main series villain before the opening credits to make way for the new direction. By the time the new script was ready, Moore had decided to do another one, and Dalton that he was too young to play Bond. So with the script ready and waiting, Moore slipped into this moody and morally ambiguous Bond, something we didn't see again until Dalton took the role.Memorable moments in the movie:
— James Bond to Melina Havelock

She is a flower
And I am a honeybee
Nuzzling her petals
If you be the flower
I am the bee
Drawn to your delightful mystery
A field of flowers
will never remain absolute in purity
The bad seed :: takes root :: roots extend :: in the head :: A constant branching :: budding bursting :: away :: and away :: and away :: roots branch and extend :: The Holy Schism :: Mother's breast :: bisected :: salt and milk :: curdle :: then settle :: into the nine creamy layers of Hell :: roots extend :: bury into Her pith :: bisected :: a honeysuckle rut :: Mother screams :: a poisonous :: foam :: spraying Her wither around :: killing :: the sacred cow :: :: :: there :: there She is :: the pretty blight :: the slit :: in the stem pursed tight :: down lower :: over two hills :: to a black and blue lagoon :: Mother in bloom :: Her putrid flower :: slaps open sloppy :: wide :: open :: for osmosis :: for curdled spore spew :: sucking flaccid :: with lips and teeth
Stolen in tact the passion, that field now lacks
No boundaries, this weight is lifted off my back
Running fast on the tracks
In the cracks of my skin crawls the experimental
Paranormal treasures for your plunder
Nose in the pheromones
Will your molecules react?
Love is chemical.
The spirit of life hides in the flowers
That I jacked, just to give to you, pretty girl...
So maybe you'll be defenseless
To my emotions I wish to unpack
Oh there you are..
This is yours.
Bumblebee Husband arrives at home,
hangs his hat on the rack,
puts his suitcase on the floor,
hears laughter coming from
the bedroom.
Puzzzled, he walks to the door
sweating, turns the handle,
a moment forever burned
into his memory.
Next, Cut to scene, night,
camera focuses on a ratty bar
on the edge of the downtown,
the air is thick, humid,
the low glare of neon paints
a desolate parking lot,
the neon sign reads 'The Hive'
and the hum is mind-numbing.
Bumblebee Husband sits at the bar alone,
Grasshopper Bartender absently wipes
the bartop with a dirty rag.
Bumblebee Husband is hunched over his drink,
drowning his sorrows in fermented honey,
grizzled, unshaven. Although surrounded
by the hushed din of conversation,
Bumblebee Husband only hears the
menacing drone of the clock.
The bar closes, we find Bumblebee Husband drunk,
pissing on the brick alley wall,
he looks up at the stars,
feels the cool night air on his face,
wonders what his life would have been like
if he had ended up with Mantis Girlfriend from
College, has the sneaking suspicion that it would
not have ended well, either.
Next, Bumblebee husband is sitting in his car,
the parking lot deserted. Hiccups, thinks of
the last conversation he had with
Bumblebee Wife, she screaming at him.
"Buzz off!" she yelled, he hears it now
echoing in memory. He remembers seeing
them at the divorce hearing,
He wonders how she could have left him.
Left him for Cockroach Boss...
Tears streaming down his mandibles,
he takes the handgun from the glove compartment.
and hopes it will only
for a second.
We the hidden, now exposed
I cannot find my home.
My dance is despair,
All is salt-sweet, where is she
Who calls the us, the we?
Why do I fly
And where do I go?
The here is a tangle of
Too much bright delight
I fall, I fly, it is un-right
Lost, alone, I spin
Imploding from within
I have what we need
But the others are not here
Wet comes
In bitter spurts
And I know fear
I am afraid.
I had no need to know of this
Going, I, alone
Wings rip each drip
Oh, I go
We the hidden, now exposed
I cannot find my home.
a seasons seeds in the making
after all that pollination;
Flowers droop in the wind exhausted
Pollination drones on like
Eternity, today it's all I
Can do not to succumb
To the pheromones of the bees
Sex is in the air
from horny trees and grass,
spreading too early,
their irritating pollination,
which is unfair,
since we don't make
willows or daffodils
when we get it on.

Stupid Is as Stupid Does
Great line from Forrest Gump. Now here's a bit of stupidity to chew on — "Smarter people are no better off".
You heard that right. Check out the "logic":
On the surface, Zagorsky's analysis confirms the findings of previous studies linking higher intelligence with higher income. "Each point increase in IQ test scores is associated with $202 to $616 more income per year," he says. For example, a person with a score of 130 (in the top 2%, in terms of IQ) might earn about $12,000 more per year than someone with an average IQ score of about 100.
On the surface, people with higher intelligence scores also had greater wealth. The median net worth for people with an IQ of 120 was almost $128,000 compared with $58,000 for those with an IQ of 100.
But when Zagorsky controlled for other factors – such as divorce, years spent in school, type of work and inheritance – he found no link between IQ and net worth. In fact, people with a slightly above-average IQ of 105 , had an average net worth higher than those who were just a bit smarter, with a score of 110.
People who had divorced once had about $9600 less wealth on average than their never-divorced counterparts. And those who smoked heavily had an $11,000 reduction in net worth. These external factors – rather than IQ – could explain the differences in wealth, Zagorsky suggests.
Let's see…
- Choose to stay in school… learn useful skills… choose a good career… earn more money!
- Choose spouse more wisely… less likely to divorce… less likely to have to support two households and two divorce lawyers… keep more money!
- Choose not to smoke… don't spend $5 per day on cigarettes… save extra $1825 per year… that $11,000 comes in just six years!
So the reason smart people are better off is not because they are smart, but because they do less stupid shit.
Does it never occur to these "researchers" that smart people stay in school longer because that's what they are good at? Does it never occur to them that smart people choose more lucrative careers because they can, and stupid people can't? Does is never occur to them that smart people choose their spouses more wisely because they have the intellectual capacity to make better choices? Does it never occur to them that smart people save more because they have more self-control?
Apparently, the researchers are too stupid to figure out that smart people do less stupid shit because they are not stupid shits.

Tempero do Brasil transports diners' taste buds to the northeastern state of Bahia and beyond with a menu of authentic Brazilian fare. Feijoada, a savory black bean stew and the national dish of the Portuguese-speaking republic ($17), swims with ham hocks, sausages, and beef and arrives with an entourage of rice, sautéed collard greens, and orange slices. In the traditional moqueca de camaräo ($18) expertly trained prawns and vegetables perform a smoldering samba amid coconut milk, lime juice, and palm oil and the festa ($15) loads sautéed mushrooms and parmesan cheese into a baked-squash boat and sends it sailing into tomato-sauce seas. Seal the meal with a dose of caramel-flan dessert ($5) trained in the art of capoeira. Tempero do Brasil showcases live Brazilian music Saturday nights, filling the air with the distinctly South American sounds of the bossa nova and the glockenspiel.
"Fumaça" means "smoke" in Portuguese, and it's an apt name for this steakhouse. The obvious connection is that the cooks roast their meats in a mesquite charcoal grill, which releases aromatic smoke as it intensifies the flavor of the cuts. But there's another reason why smoke is especially relevant: it travels, far and freely. Fumaça's menu does the same, gathering dishes from Colombia, Peru, Puerto Rico, and of course, Brazil.
Inside the restaurant's sleekly modern confines, Peruvian halibut ceviche can be ordered alongside pork belly rubbed with Caribbean spices, or a Puerto Rican octopus cocktail salad. The ingredients defy international boundaries even further—many of them are local, such as the grass-fed and organic meat, whereas others come from as far away as the Amazon. But while the protein might be from the northwest, there's no denying that the rodizio dinners are a Brazilian invention. Guests sample different cuts of beef, poultry, lamb, and pork during the extravagant all-you-can-eat meal. There's also a long list of wines and cocktails, including specialty drinks made from tropical fruits including guava, passion fruit, and grapes that were wearing sunglasses.
When night falls over southern Brazil, groups of gauchos gather around flickering fire pits and celebrate the end of another day by slowly grilling meat over the open flames. Novilhos Brazilian Steakhouse aims to capture the spirit of these traditional meals by hosting all-you-can-eat churrasco feasts that Zagat scored as "very good to excellent."
The chefs roast up more than a dozen cuts of meat, including filet mignon, bacon-wrapped chicken, lamb chops, and pork sausages. Servers dressed as gauchos parade these freshly grilled skewers throughout the dining room, stopping at diners' seats and offering to carve them slices tableside. In between these protein-laden servings, guests can visit the salad bar and load their plates up with more than 60 different side dishes, such as fresh-cut vegetables and imported cheeses.
Like a shape-shifter with ADD, executive chef and Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute graduate Matt Colony's menu changes constantly, taking inspiration from legendary steakhouses while drawing from a rich array of local ingredients. Maxwell's most recent board of fare opened with delicacies such as smoked eggplant and white bean puree ($7), a selection of house-pickled vegetables ($5), and seared yellow fin ahi tuna ($14) with warm red-lentil puree. The curtain the raised on signature steaks of 16-ounce rib eye ($29), 7-ounce filet mignon ($30), and 10-ounce flat iron ($23)—all cooked to order and side-kicked with horseradish-infused whipped potatoes, sautéed vegetables, sherry mushroom sauce, and fried onion rings. If ordering the cider-brined pork chop ($19) has you worried that the pig's relatives will hunt you down and seek vengeance, Maxwell's features a slew of seafaring sea fare such as pan-seared weathervane scallops ($26), sautéed Alaskan halibut ($25), and Maxwell's chioppino ($25)—which hosts a pool party of steamed clams, mussels, shrimp, roasted sockeye salmon, and half grilled lobster tail in spicy fennel-tomato broth amid grilled sourdough bread. All dishes can find a leggy tango partner on Maxwell's wine list, but bring a back-up stomach for a decadent dessert of custard-soaked cinnamon-roll bread pudding ($7) or the crème brûlée of the day ($5).
Piranha Joe's shelters hungry stomach-sailors in a relaxed atmosphere filled with the savory, salt-watered scents of grilled steaks and freshly-caught Northwestern seafood. Adventurous eaters can chart their course through the menu map starting with a plate of roasted alligator fritters ($8.95) or a crisp salad of mixed greens topped with savory blue cheese, sweet blueberries, and the clashing colors of house-smoked salmon ($12.95). With daily deliveries of fresh seafood via secret underground maglev train straight from Puget Sound, Piranha Joe's creates a culinary confluence of aqua and terra in entrees such as oven-baked or charbroiled local Coho salmon ($16.95) or stuffed prawns wrapped with bacon and swelling with sweet crabmeat and scallops ($16.95). Meat-minded diners will salivate at the thought of hearty cuts such as The Baseball eight-ounce top sirloin ($18.95). An amphibious pairing of six-ounce rancher steak with sautéed or tempura-style shrimp ($22.95) is as fun to eat as it is to assemble into a face-hugger, while the bar menu provides simpler options for exotic eats such as the alfredo gator or Louisiana gator pizzas ($9.95 each). Patrons also can refuel after daring mid-afternoon office escapes with lunch selections such as blackened fish tacos with balsamic tomato relish ($7.95). Otherwise, flex fingers in anticipation of the sundry sandwich and hamburger options, ranging from the Surfer Sam (turkey and ham dressed with avocado and jack cheese in the grainy embrace of grilled sourdough bread; $9.45) to the fiery Crock burger's ground sirloin and Portuguese sausage served with red-pepper aioli on a crisp ciabatta bun ($11.95).
At Flat Iron Grill, executive chef Jeff Olsen puts an international twist on traditional steak-house staples made with locally sourced organic ingredients. Small doses of chorizo, chimichurri, or chili-spiked truffle sauce lend distinctive Latin and South American flavors to the menu?s grilled steaks, black cod, and clam pappardelle. To accompany the rustically roasted entrees, the bartenders pour tipples from their selection of more than 180 whiskeys, which include rich bourbons, smoky scotches, and locally distilled creations.
Echoing the menu?s rustic elegance, the Western-themed dining room surrounds guests in warm-colored walls and metal work from Gagnon Welding. A spotlighted longhorn skull hangs on a terra-cotta red wall alongside local artists' black-and-white photographs of Washington landscapes. Patrons can also dine on an outdoor patio shaded by light-tan umbrellas and clouds lassoed into place by helpful cowboys.
