Iran vs the P3+3—Russia plays middleman to global nuclear talks
Hopes of reviving global nuclear talks this week are low, despite Russia's intentions to revive discussions.
August 15, 2011 11:57 by Reuters
Russia will look to revive nuclear talks between Iran and the world's biggest economic and military powers this week, hoping its special relationship with Tehran can help jolt back to life negotiations that some analysts consider "dead in the water".
Presidential Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev is due to meet his Iranian counterpart and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran on Monday and is expected to raise a Russian plan to restart the talks that collapsed in January.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told US President Barack Obama in July of Moscow's "step-by-step" approach under which Iran could address questions about its nuclear programme and be rewarded with a gradual easing of sanctions imposed by countries that fear Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons, a charge it denies.
With Israel and Washington both keeping open the possibility of launching pre-emptive strikes on Iran to stop it getting nuclear weapons, the negotiations are a possible way of avoiding what analysts say would be highly risky military action.
But after the failure of the last talks, between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the US, Russia, China, Britain and France, plus Germany (known as the EU3+3 or P5+1), in Istanbul in January, few analysts expect a breakthrough.
Russia backed a fourth round of UN sanctions against Tehran in June 2010 but has criticised tighter measures imposed unilaterally by the US and the EU and emphasised its opposition to military action.
So Tehran might be more receptive to an approach from Moscow than one from the West — the E3+3's delegation is led by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
"It's certainly easier for Iran to respond to a Russian gambit than to Western pressure. The E3+3 negotiating efforts with Iran are stuck dead in the water," said Mark Fitzpatrick, a non-proliferation expert at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies.
"If Russia's plan can get Iran to the negotiating table, then great. Talks have to start somehow."
Not only is Moscow not part of the Western alliance Iran sees as its greatest enemy, it is also involved in developing part of the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme, as builder of its first atomic power plant at Bushehr on the Gulf coast.
"Russia has maintained a long-standing relationship with Iran, effectively it is a partner in Iran's nuclear programme through its construction of the Bushehr nuclear plant, and has never shown the slightest ambition of changing the government of Iran," said Farideh Farhi, an Iran expert at the University of Hawaii.
But, Farhi said, the "step-by-step" approach mentioned by Lavrov did not appear to be substantively new, and it looked less, not more, likely to work than it had before.
"Tying Iran's step-by-step moves to reduction of sanctions is something that has not worked and it works even less now that so many sanctions against Iran are unilateral sanctions imposed by the US Congress and cannot be negotiated by representatives of executive branches in both countries."
While Ahmadinejad maintains the sanctions are having no impact, other officials have started admitting some of the measures — particularly ones that restrict Iran's access to foreign banks — are hurting the economy.
Any new talks are likely to focus on concerns about Iran's nuclear enrichment which a UN Security Council resolution requires it to stop but which Tehran says it is entitled to do as a member of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons and says it is enriching uranium for electricity production and medical applications.
But its decision last year to raise the level of enrichment from the 3.5 percent purity needed for normal power plant fuel to 20 percent worried countries that saw it as a significant step towards the 90 percent needed for bombs.
Far from reducing its uranium enrichment programme, Tehran has stepped it up, announcing in June it would triple its production capacity of higher grade fuel and shift that work to an underground bunker that would be less vulnerable to a military strike.
"Iran will try to persuade Russia and China to accept its precondition of accepting its right to enrichment before sitting down at the table," said Fitzpatrick. "Russia and China don't see eye-to-eye with the US and the Europeans, and … Iran will…

Altare Barolo La Morra 2008
Altare - Piedmont - Italy - Barolo
Professional Wine Reviews for Altare Barolo La Morra 2008Additional information »
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
The dusty purple grapes of the Nebbiolo variety are widely considered to be amongst the finest in the world, and hold many unique characteristics which have secured their place in wine making history. Indeed, almost all of the most respected and sought after red wines of Italy are made using this grape varietal, and it wasn't long before several New World wineries started experimenting with the fruit of this special vine, too. Nebbiolo grapes are renowned for their ability to age beautifully, with their strong and dense tannins mellowing out and becoming more balanced inside the oak. Alongside this, they hold some of the most complex and exciting flavors to be found in any grape, which range from gorgeous notes of black truffle, to aromatic violets and tobacco tones.
The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.
Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
High in the beautiful northern Piedmont region of Italy, we find one of the country's most famous and highly esteemed wine regions. Barolo has been used for the cultivation of high quality grapevines for centuries, and over time it received more and more recognition for the exceptional flavours and aromas its Nebbiolo grapes would lend to red wines. By the nineteenth century, Barolo was considered one of the greatest wine regions of Europe, adored for its wines which had an unparalleled richness of flavor and depth of aroma. Today, Barolo wines are a little different than those made in the past; more fruity and accessible than their deeper, high complex ancestors. However, the quality of the wine remains paramount, and Barolo remains one of Italy's true stars.

Over the weekend the New York Times profiled conservative hedge fund tycoon Paul Singer [1], who's generously bankrolled the GOP and is sometimes referred to as a Republican George Soros. The article spotlighted the $500,000 Singer contributed in April to the Republican Governors Association and his attempts to thwart meaningful regulation of Wall Street. Left unmentioned in the article was how Singer amassed his fortune, in part by capitalizing on the subprime housing crisis and exploiting the debt of impoverished African nations. During the presidential campaign, as part of a feature article on the "dirty money [2]" behind Rudy Giuliani's campaign, I wrote a separate article about Singer's controversial involvement with so-called "vulture funds [3]." Since Singer's in the news again, I'm reposting the relevant sections below. It's not surprising that someone like him is so committed to bankrolling today's GOP.
In the 1990s Singer's hedge fund pioneered a shadowy, lucrative and often ruthless form of investing whose practitioners earned the not-so-generous moniker "vulture funds." Vulture funds—or "sovereign debt investors," as they prefer to call themselves—buy old defaulted debts, usually from the poorest countries in the world, and then drag the debtors into court, seeking a settlement far above what the funds originally paid for the debt. These are debts that are usually forgiven when the countries are granted relief by wealthy nations like the United States and multilateral institutions like the World Bank. An official at the Bank likens vulture fund activities to giving up your seat on a bus for an old lady, only to see a young college jock swipe it.
Large hedge funds like Singer's Elliott Associates often operate in secret, through shell companies in tax shelters like the Cayman Islands. Since the end of 2005, more than a third of the countries receiving debt relief have been targeted by at least thirty-eight hedge funds, which have gotten judgments in excess of $1 billion. This reverse Robin Hood scheme has drawn criticism around the globe, including from Nelson Mandela and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
It all started in 1996, when Elliott paid $11 million for $20 million of debt, dating back to 1983, theoretically owed by the government of Peru. In 1989, then-US Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady had urged rich countries to forgive the debts of poor ones in order to spur economic growth and global development. Instead of settling with Peru, as its 180 other creditors did, Elliott took the government to court. "Pay us in full or be sued," Singer threatened.
A federal district court in New York initially ruled against Elliott, finding that the fund had purchased the debt "with the intent and purpose to sue" and "rejected each and every opportunity to participate in Peru's restructuring." Elliott appealed and won. Then the fund began working the political system in New York. With the help of a lobbying firm in Albany, Elliott, through a subsidiary, persuaded the New York legislature to change an obscure law governing compound interest, increasing Elliott's payout by $16 million, for a total, including interest, of $58 million. It was done so quietly that Peru's lawyers didn't find out until after the fact. A few years later the New York State Assembly eliminated another law that Peru had used to defend itself. Three months after the bill became law, Singer gave the lead sponsor, State Assembly Member Susan John, a $2,500 campaign donation.
Elliott's most recent target is the oil-rich but desperately poor West African nation of Congo, home to three civil wars since 1993, with 70 percent of the population below the poverty line. In the late 1990s Elliott, through a variety of shadowy subsidiaries, bought $100 million of defaulted Congolese debt for roughly 7 to 10 cents on the dollar, according to a legal brief filed by the Congolese government. A Cayman Islands-based entity called Kensington International went to court in London and received favorable judgments, ordering repayment of the debt plus interest. Then Kensington returned to court in London and sought to prevent Congo from repaying any other creditors until Kensington was paid. This time the judge balked, saying he didn't even know what Kensington International was and how much it had paid for the debts.
Only when Kensington sued Congo in New York under a RICO statute (which would triple a final judgment to $375 million), was it revealed that Kensington was a subsidiary of Singer's fund. Since then, Elliott/Kensington has pulled out all the stops. The fund retained as counsel Ted Olson, George W. Bush's initial choice to replace Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. Kensington has filed at least fifteen separate lawsuits against Congo and its business partners, in places ranging from the British Virgin Islands to Hong Kong to the United States.
After members of the Congolese government amassed large hotel bills at a UN summit in New York, Kensington lobbied the World Bank to block scheduled debt relief for the country, according to two sources close to the Congolese government. The fund placed op-eds in influential newspapers, produced letters of support from members of Congress and even filed a lawsuit in Brussels against the Belgian government to confiscate a 10 million euro foreign aid payment from Belgium to Congo. (In a separate case against Argentina, Elliott has enlisted former top Clinton Administration officials to persuade the country to pay debts that the firm acquired for as little as 15 cents on the dollar.) "They're completely amoral," says David Skeel, a professor of corporate law at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's almost a matter of pride to them."

I was born and raised in Missouri, so hopefully I can shed some light on how Ferguson, a little Missouri suburb of 21,000 people, became the focus of the nation, and even the world. I am getting the stench that they're about to pull the pin on another grenade to throw that community into upheaval, so first let's take a hard look at what they've been through and why. First of all, when we think of racism, we tend to think of Mississippi and Alabama due to the events of the '60s. However, Missouri was one of the bloodiest states during the Civil War because it was so divided – and it is still that divided today, as we've seen in Ferguson.

They're like, "Fuck it. I can die out here for nothing going at these cats from the other side or I could die for justice tonight with these police." They're fearless – they're ready to be a martyr. Now all of this money that it must cost to bring all these cops in, … all y'all had to do was put one man in jail. That's it! A thousand police officers are going to be here in St. Louis and for what? To go out and kill another unarmed Black kid in the streets and then leave him there for four hours? I think that the ripple effect of this is going to rock the whole nation. It could be the tipping point for race relations in America when it comes to policing.

When the Michael Brown verdict is announced, people can expect the police to take at least 10 different illegal actions to prevent people from exercising their constitutional rights.

On the final day of our May trip to Palestine we visited the Abu Jihad Museum for Prisoners Movement Affairs in the brilliant sunlight of Jerusalem. The simultaneous visit to Bethlehem of a Pope who paid respect to the Palestinian right to self-determination was nice enough. But the very thought of such an institution alone astounded me. Neither a "dead" museum nor a bourgeois one in the conventional style of Europe, the fact of its existence in Palestine exhilarated me.

I know the author already made this point, but it is worth bringing to the front. This is the same organisation that claims to be able to 100.000% secure our identity data from identity thieves hell bent on reusing it. The thieves will be after this data with a will as yet unseen, because this will enable them to claim to be us without fear of refutation. Immensely valuable. They will be using tools and techniques that would completely uneconomic to use against todays targets. They guarantee they will be up to the task and yet can't even put the right .crt file in their web server. Makes me feel really safe. I have already signed the no2id pledge to have nothing to do with this scheme, I suggest you think carefully about doing the same for your own safety.

DEFINITION of 'Crown Corporation'
Any corporation that is established and regulated by a country's state or government. This is the opposite of private companies, which are privately owned, structured and operated to serve the owners of the company. A crown company is commercially owned by the government. Civil servants partially control and operate this type of company, which is meant to serve the public interest as determined by the current government.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Crown Corporation'
Crown corporations could either be a federal corporation, owned by the government to serve a federal or national interest, or a provincial/territorial corporation, which is meant to serve a provincial or regional interest. They are more common in Commonwealth countries such as Canada, New Zealand and Australia. These companies are created by the government and can be entirely or partially owned by the public sector.
Also referred to as government owned, state-owned enterprises, crown entities, or government business enterprise (GBE).

On Lyrical Responsibility
Clearly Rick Ross has made headlines recently regarding his new music and the fact that he raps about date rape in "U.O.E.N.O." Drake thinks that every rapper is responsible for his actions and this is what he said about it:
"The world is listening. I think the situation the other day with the Rocko song is a wake up call for all of us. Rap is important. The world is listening. It's a wake up call. If you are going to say something that is going to put you at risk, make sure it's a message worth fighting for."

Cumbrian man fell to his death trying to fix TV dish
Last updated at 11:33, Tuesday, 17 April 2012
A 46-year-old man died after falling 30ft when he tried to fix his satellite dish in strong winds.
Stephen Smith had been annoyed by the sound of a cable from the dish flapping about in strong winds, blurring his TV picture, when he decided to go up onto the flat roof of his home to fasten it down.
But the borrowed aluminium ladder he used wasn't long enough and it had no grip on the slippery upvc fascia board that he had leaned it against, an inquest heard.
Mr Smith, from Cleator Moor, fell 30ft onto the concrete path surrounding his house at Keir Hardie Avenue, and suffered serious injuries.
He was left with multiple fractures of his ribs, his pelvis and an injury to his stomach, plus the trauma caused a cardiac arrest.
Doctors said that because of the extent of his injuries, an underlying heart condition and diabetes, chances of survival were very slim and nothing more could have been done for him at the scene. He died on the way to hospital.
Coroner David Roberts recorded a verdict of death by accident after hearing evidence from neighbour Eamonn Rush, a former roofer, who Mr Smith had asked to 'foot the ladder' and hold it steady while he did the job on the roof.
Mr Smith's mother, Marjorie Chambers, of Dent Place, Cleator Moor, said her son was a quiet but determined character who, when he set his mind on doing something, would do it.
"We all told him not to go up there, but he wouldn't be dissuaded," she said.
"If I'd been there to stop him at the time, he would have just waited till I'd gone and then gone up."
Mr Rush said Mr Smith had been up on the roof before, to clear a bird's nest from a vent, but on the morning of December 9 last year, when he climbed the almost fully extended ladder, with a rucksack of tools on his back, the accident had happened. When he got to the top and tried to get onto the roof, the ladder slipped away to the right.
"He put his weight on the left to try and counter balance but the weight on his foot pushed the ladder away, it just went and he came straight down. I couldn't hold it."
Mr Rush said he had suggested to Mr Smith it was not a good idea to go up, but Mr Smith had insisted it would be okay.
"In hindsight I should have said more, but Stephen said he thought it would be all right," said Mr Rush.
Mr Smith, who was not working at the time, had previously had been a groundsman for 10 years at St Mary's Church, Cleator.
He was unmarried but had a long-term relationship with Christine Anderson and was 'like a dad' to her children.
His mother Marjorie paid tribute to her son saying: "Stephen was such a good person. He did things for people and gave money to animal welfare and some of his friends said he always remembered their children's birthdays."

Bri Kulas scored 18 points on Sunday and is now averaging 22 points per game in SEC play.
Jan. 5, 2014
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Points were hard to come by as the Mizzou women's basketball team fell to Arkansas, 69-66, on Sunday afternoon (January 5) at Mizzou Arena. The 66 points by the Tigers are the most scored against Arkansas this season, nearly 22 more than Arkansas' national-best average of 44.6 per game. Senior Bri Kulas (Shawnee Mission, Kan.) and junior Morgan Eye (Montrose, Mo.) led Mizzou with 18 points apiece, but Mizzou was unable to slow Arkansas' Jessica Jackson, who finished with a game- and career-high 22 points and eight boards as Arkansas held off the Tigers' late rally. Mizzou falls to 12-3 on the season and 1-1 in SEC play while Arkansas improves to 14-1 and 1-1 in league play.
Eye connected on four 3-pointers in the loss, pushing her career total to 226 as she is now tied for first in school history, matching her with Alyssa Hollins (226 from 2006-09). Mizzou trailed by as many as nine in the first half but stormed back to lead by as many as four in the second half. It was a frenetic second stanza that saw the score change hands eight separate times, but Arkansas took the lead late and held off a torrid run from the Tigers, specifically from Kulas and Eye who poured in points late. Fouls were an issue all day as five Tigers finished the game with four or more fouls, including four starters. Sophomore point guard Lianna Doty (St. Louis, Mo.) added 11 points in the loss while freshman Jordan Frericks (Quincy, Ill.) pitched in seven points and eight boards.
A defensive struggle ensued at the start of the game as the teams shot a combined 5-of-16 from the floor as Arkansas opened a 9-4 lead at the first media timeout. The Tigers missed several layups in that span but cut the lead to just three on a pair of Kulas free throws following the stoppage. Mizzou cut the lead to just four at 17-13, but Arkansas answered with a five-point run with a pair of transition buckets, including a 3-pointer. But a three-point play and a baseline jumper from Eye pulled Mizzou back to within four at 22-18.
The Tigers got a big bucket late in the first half from freshman Kayla McDowell (Cincinnati, Ohio) with the shot clock winding down to cut the lead to 27-24 before the break. Despite shooting just 7-for-26 in the first half (26.9-percent) and 1-for-7 from distance, Mizzou used a perfect 7-for-7 clip from the charity strip to stay within three of the Hogs. Kulas and Eye led Mizzou with seven points each in the first half.
Following the break, Doty extended the Tiger run to 6-0 with a layup and another layup by Frericks gave Mizzou its first lead at 28-27 as it scored eight straight points over nearly four minutes going back to the 2:50 mark the first half. Arkansas regained a one-point lead on the next possession. The score changed hands four times over the next several minutes, but Eye's third 3-pointer of the contest gave Mizzou a 38-34 lead with less than 12 minutes to play.
Arkansas tied the game at 42-all with a clutch 3-pointer at the 8:41 mark from McKenzie Adams off of an inbounds play and then regained the lead with a transition layup on its next possession. Arkansas extended its lead to 48-45 after Mizzou went nearly three minutes without a field goal, but a fast-break layup by Eye cut the lead to just one at 48-47. The Razorbacks then held off a furious Tiger run at the end of the game to preserve the 69-66 win.

rick bayless.
- steve h. Aug 11, 2007 09:28 PM
worth a visit? deb and i are nyc mavens and have some business in your city for a mere two nights a week from monday. i'm really ticked that i won't catch a baseball game, see the inside of a superior museum or get a chance to fully utilize my aia guide (yes, i'm a fan of your architecture).
i was thinking a bayless restaurant for one night and a pizza place/finger food joint for the other. does this make sense? we'll be staying at the w in city central. i'm a mass-transit fan but taxis are ok.
thanks in advance.
Sounds good to me. I fly out from Califonia yearly to eat at Frontera/Topolo. The food is great. The only time I've had a bad experience was after a big pancake/omelet brunch. I didn't have enough room for all five courses at Topolo. I have high expectations and they've been satisfied many times over the last ten years.
re: Romanmk
high praise, indeed.
anything on the menu that makes you happy a few months later?
re: steve h.
Things that suprised me the most I can remember clearly even years later: A soup of pureed carrots and smoked mushrooms with crema. Sopa de hongos at Topolo. The amazing queso anejo sprinkled on top of some fried beans that tasted more intense than anything I've found around here.
I go to compare flavors too. I tried the enchiladas de mole poblano last time. I'd say the flavor was equally spicy hot and bitter with chocolate and sweet undertones. More bitter from the chile than I expected. About dead center between overly sweet or overly harsh versions of chile sauces I've had elsewhere. This experience also confirmed my feeling that I had probably overtoasted chiles in the past. And now I have a better handle on how to season those sauces.
re: Romanmk
haha, romanmk, you sound like me. when i turned 18, i took a spontaneous birthday road trip from DC to chicago for the sole purpose of dinner at topolo. had fish wrapped in a banana leaf and the best guac i've ever eaten. to date, that's one of my favorite experiences, ever. was terribly upset (should have done my research!) when i was in town monday night, but they were not open for dinner. i would have stayed longer had i known when booking flights!
Many opinions on this board, but I vote absolutely.
Bayless' Frontera and Topolobampo pretty much introduced the subtleties of gourmet regional Mexican to Chicago, if not the the country. I happen to think they've been come so iconic that many people's expectations are disappointed. You might love it, you might be disappointed, but it wiill certainly give you your own stories to tell. Form your own opinion, but do try it.
re: chicgail
i will. what's your best food memory from frontera?
I've been to Topolobambo repeatedly over many years, for both lunch and dinner, and have never been disapporinted. The food has the same sort of subtlety and complexity I find in other highest-level Chicago restaurants. It seems to me that criticisms of Rick Bayless often come from people who have some specific conception of how Mexican food should taste that his restaurants don't match. There's also a puzzling tendency to treat Frontera and Topolo as essentially the same. Frontera is very good but at a distinct level below Topolo, which is truly extraordinary, in food, atmosphere, and service.
re: steve h.
Count me in as a very satisfied Topolobampo customer. If it were only closer!
I agree that Frontera Grill / Topolobampo are a fine choice, and so is pizza.
Keep in mind that Frontera Grill doesn't accept reservations (except for a few same-day reservations first thing in the morning when they open at 8:30 am), and Topolobampo does (on opentable.com too). I've heard you can order off either menu at either place.
For pizza, I recommend the double-crust "stuffed" pizza of Giordano's. Not only is it my personal favorite of all the Chicago pizza places, but they have a location a block from the W, at 223 W. Jackson (312-583-9400). Order ahead to avoid waiting 30-45 minutes for your pizza to bake; you'll find the menu on their website at www.giordanos.com
re: nsxtasy
thanks for the info. the pizza rec is mighty interesting. is there a decent bar in the area?
As you can tell, the locals are divided on Bayless, but I recommend checking it out just to see for yourself. If you do end up going to one of his joints on Clark Street and you like good beer, be sure to stop in at the Clark Street Ale House a couple of blocks north - outstanding selection and a classic old wooden bar.
re: jbentley4
clark street ale house is now on the radar. thanks!
re: jbentley4
I agree - check it out and decide for yourself. Rick Bayless won the james beard award - so, it's not like inedbile!
re: steve h.
Please post back your thoughts on the experience.
As to myself, I fall in the camp of a Chicago Hispanic who intensely disliked both Frontera Freco (the fast food version of Frontera Grill in Macy's) & Topolobampo. But I think you should try it for yourself to form your own opinion, and when you return again in September perhaps we can steer you in a different direction if your interested.
re: abf005
i will. we fly in on the 20th so expect some thoughts /comments no later than the end of next week.
re: amoncada
excellent backup plan. thanks.
re: Chargenda
I've been to both places many times on visits from NY. To me, Frontera is what many people think of as "Mexican" food-only much better. Many people don't realize or recognize that Topolobompo is truly what a, for example native from Mexico City who is used to fine dining would find at home; so many Americans appear to be confused or disappointed at seeing the real thing-only a different genre. I've never been disappointed at either place.
re: markabauman
I am from Mexico City and the biggest Mexican snob on the Chowhound... here is my opinion of Topolobampo (from a single visit)....
> Its far better executed than any upscale/midscale Mexican restaurant I have been to in NYC that should be a plus right there (part of the reason is that I think Chicago is more strategically located for sourcing quality ingredients used in Mexican cuisine... some NYC restaurants will use lemon & parsley in the Ceviche!... and that just misses the point completely... but again I think its because of availability issues)
> Topolobampo IS one of the best Mexican restaurants in the U.S.... no doubt. However, as a fan of Bayless & a saavy Mexico City native... I was dissappointed with Topolo's execution because I kept comparing to restaurants in Mexico City or Puebla etc.,... my impression is that it wasn't necessarily the kitchens fault... but looking around at the crowd I got the vibe (and yes I am stereotyping) that the typical Topolo diner isn't ready for the more full flavored, assertive yet balanced & rounded flavors of true Mexican cuisine. I found that it was similar to other high end restaurants in Chicago in that it delivered succulent, tasty food with great texture & presentation but ultimately fell short on flavor complexity & edgy-ness.
> Finally... Bayless alumni have started a handful of restaurants in Chicago... I've eaten at Sol de Mexico (run by Geno Bahena's mother... and a contributor to Bayless' books & menu)... and quite honestly the food was better executed there (again based on a single experience)... the Quail in Chipotle sauce was significantly better than the Duck Breast in Guasmole at Topolo.
I enjoyed my one visit to Frontera for lunch a couple of months ago. the food, and service was excellent, & I was very impressed witht the selection of tequila, and the tequila filghts offered.

re: nsxtasy
thats it thanks
just back from chicago and i want to thank you all for your help.
sitting on the tarmac at lga for over an hour meant we arrived tired, hungry and late monday evening. after check-in, i asked for walking directions to giordano's on jackson. five minutes later we were ordering beer for me, wine for deb and a small stuffed pie with sausage. wait time for the pie is 30 minutes plus so we ordered a starter of fried calamari.
drinks arrive and i start to take in the room: high ceiling; three distinct, cavernous spaces; and flat panel tv's, lots of them, all appropriately muzzled by that wonderful closed-caption magic. i have the bears-colts game to my left and the kc-sox game to my right. i'm pretty happy now.
calamari arrives and its pretty generic stuff. neither good nor bad, just something to tide us over until the main course arrives. the portion is quite generous and could easily serve 2-4 people. i hadn't eaten all day so i wolfed it all down in less than 15 minutes.
pizza arrives and it's a thing of beauty: tasty crust (sweeter than our east-coast stuff); good-quality sauce; very good sausage; and copious amounts of cheese. we like this place.
tuesday was a busy day so we arrived at frontera grill at prime dining time with no reservation. hostess said wait time for a table was 90 minutes. we wander into the bar to figure out next steps. deb shouldered her way through the crowd and ordered two mezcal margaritas on the rocks. wow! incredible drink. we stay.
two sips into my drink, a table in the bar area opened up. deb grabbed it and called for the waiter. a trio of ceviches to share, marinated skirt steak for deb and the goat entree for me. all flavors were crisp and interesting. nothing was dark, muddled or over-spiced. i suspect the kitchen spends a lot of time making things seem simple. well done.
all-in-all, frontera grill is a worthy destination. the place is a scene so avoid it like the plague if you have a hard time with noise, crowds and uncertain table availability. go if you enjoy good booze, good food and jocular waiters. lots of spanish being spoken in the bar area (a good thing in a mexican joint). control freaks will not have a good time here. i did.
travel notes: bayless and his pretty companion were on my flight from lga to ord... breakfast at the w is surprisingly good... lunch at giordano's (solo at the bar) is really satisfying. frosty mugs of draft heineken, personal pizza and a barkeep who knows her stuff. nice. a pleasant change from the family-oriented main dining area.
re: steve h.
Thanks for the report back and glad you enjoyed your visit. I hope you got to look at a few pieces of architecture walking to and from the restaurants, at least!
re: Amata
i lucked out. my appointment tuesday morning was at tribune tower (great gothic). when the meeting was over, i marched up the magnificent mile to the wrigley building at the bend in the chicago river. under the michigan avenue bridge i spotted a tour boat (wendella tours) and booked passage on their one-hour chicago river architecture tour. it blew me away! you have a beautiful city.
re: ChefJune
i enjoyed my brief stay in chicago. two nights is hardly enough time for me to compose informed opinions. i'll be back.
re: ChefJune
frontera was pretty cool. so much on the menu that sounded worthwhile. looking forward to a white linen, bayless experience down the road. i'll report back before the end of the year.
edit note: sorry. this was intended for brb. i must have done something wrong.
I'm really baffled by the negativity surrounding Rick Bayless, who I believe remains one of the most prominent food personalities in Chicago. He continues to bring fine Mexican cuisine to Chicago and personally, I find him to be not only very approachable but very professional. Are Frontera/Topolobampo my favorite Mexican restaurants in Chicago? Maybe not (on some nights yes), but he is always striving to bring an authentic taste of Mexico to Chicago, and he is also responsible for much of the interest in Mexican food (especially upscale Mexican food) in Chicago. People sometimes forget that both Priscila Satkoff and Geno Bahena (just to name a couple) both started at Frontera. He is also someone who is never satisfied with his last meal, but is always attempting something new and better. Simply put, while there are a number of Mexican restaurants that I would highly recommend, I would not steer a Chicago visitor away from Frontera/Topolobampo . . . especially one who has spent considerable time with one of Bayless' cookbooks and wants to find out what his food is really like.
re: blondie60614
silly airpot stuff: bayless and his pretty companion showed up at lga after i did. the seats at the gate were full. deb and i stood tall. bayless and his companion squatted on the floor. he plugged in his ear buds and fired up his computer. seemed like a serious business guy with no pretensions. made me want to try his restaurant.
re: blondie60614
adobo grill?! Now, that is some mediocre dining...I have been a few times and it is good, but doesn't come close to Bayless, in my book.

Believe it or not, Federal Mogul A-Series rod bearings can actually polish the journals on your crankshaft. That's because there is a small percentage of silicon mixed in with the aluminum and tin that make up the bearing-surface alloy. The silicon is there for wear resistance, but its toughness actually smoothes the journals of a crank with a surface that hasn't been optimized! This special surface alloy is laid over a high-strength 1010 steel backing and delivers improved seizure and corrosion resistance, as well as better wall variance control. It also helps to minimize debris embedding, which can score the crank's surface.

The 23-year-old winger has been an ever-present for the Cherries this season and follows team-mate Marvin Bartley in agreeing fresh terms.
Londoner Feeney arrived at Dean Court for a nominal fee from Blue Square Premier outfit Salisbury last January and has become a key player in Eddie Howe's side.
The new contract will keep Feeney at the South Coast club until the end of the 2011/12 campaign.
