A word from Sant Ambroeus - Madison Avenue
Shortly after the original Sant Ambroeus opened its doors in Milan in 1936, a devoted following emerged. This celebrated pasticceria and confetteria became the meeting place for the local intelligentsia, whether beginning their day with Sant Ambroeus's legendary cappuccino and cornetto, savoring panini at lunch, or spending their evening enjoying refined cuisine in the restaurant's elegant dining room.Continued
We translated these old-world sensibilities of Sant Ambroeus to modern times, and imported our rich culinary traditions to New York. Each of our restaurants remains authentic to our Milanese origins, and we continue to serve our culturally inspired delectables in a casual yet elegant environment.

- Pampering Place is Sant AmbroeusChicagoBoyVIPDined on 11/26/2014Simply the nicest folks serving the best food coupled with great wine. The sommelier introduced me to the Arneis, and it exceeded my expectations by far. The atmosphere is convivial for great conversation, no matter which of the many languages you hear around your table. My fav home away from home table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sant Ambroeus is divineAussieatsDined on 11/16/2014We have been lucky enought to frequent this UES gem during the last few months. On each occassion we enjoy the same warm hospitality, great food and professional attentive service. Their smoked salmon is to die for. Our now favorite weekend brunch venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible HostessNmo821Dined on 11/15/2014For a great restaurant and amazing food, the hostess at the UES location is one of the worst hostesses. She was not friendly and was downright mean when receiving us. We asked her a question about our reservation (arriving earlier than scheduled), and she rolled her eyes, seemed exasperated - and she also acted the same way to other guests. We have been to many restaurants including all the St Ambroeus ones - we love everything about it. But we will NOT go back to the Madison Avenue branch specifically because of the hostess. It is a shame to have someone who doesn't have people skills, or breeding, in an UES restaurant.
- A MUST visit when in NYtheduckDined on 11/6/2014Outstanding breads, really delicious brazino fish,fabulous pasta and the best coffee outside of Italy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/26/2014Lovely breakfast/ brunch. Best cappuccino. Perfect service. Makes me feel I'm back in Europe.Special Features:
- A Diamond amongst gemstonesAliyahDined on 10/12/2014The fact is, this Sant Ambroeus is splendid in so many ways. Let's begin with the decor and ambiance - they maintain a quiet, dignified, and civil dining room, with courteous and polite waitstaff. There are managers on the floor constantly who oversee all of the affairs of the restaurant. They dress in full suits. The beautiful beige, pink, and brown and white color scheme is delightful for the eyes. The vertical sconce lights lining the walls offer this place a touch of the grand old world. The seats are comfortable and the overall ambiance is nice for a pair to chat over delectable teas, coffees, and pastries. As far as food goes, this is the one area they could improve on. They need breakfast items with simplicity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cookies!Dlewan9371VIPDined on 10/11/2014Everything was simply perfect! I would recommend this neighborhood gem to any of my close friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not worth the priceNot4meDined on 8/19/2014This is a very noisy restaurant and for the ridiculous price, the food was average. The pasta was under cooked and the rest of the dinners were average. I could get the same at my local Itailian restaurant for way less. The only good thing was the service.
- Elegant restaurantLove2eatgreatDined on 8/17/2014I loved the ambiance. Very elegant and laid back. Me and my fiance loved the great attention from the staff, all sweet. Expect for one blonde woman in the bakery. Overall i loved it but one thing i did not expect or like watsoever was the food! Very bland and definitely not worth $12 or $48!!!Special Features:

- BogartBogartDined on 7/4/2014The duck ragu was extraordinary (was a special that night). Six yr old daughter enjoyed the bolognese and the selection of sorbet and gelato. They accommodated our stroller despite a sign on the door saying the opposite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall great experienceAwesomeDined on 6/29/2014The green lasagna is a must. They also sell pastries and gelato in the front.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic discovery!GalicianRoseVIPDined on 6/28/2014I found out about Sant Ambroeus by browsing the Open Table site. This place on the Upper East Side is an absolute gem. The restaurant is located at the back, while up front there is a coffee bar and an assortment of pastries available for purchase. I had breakfast there last Saturday morning. I ordered the yogurt parfait, a plain crostini and a cappuccino; my mom opted for the pancakes topped with cinnamon and fresh fruit. The service and presentation were phenomenal and the food and coffee were extremely tasty. I shall return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BonnieVIPDined on 6/25/2014A first time at Sant Ambroeus--but not the last. Beautifully presented food, tasting as good as it looks. Although not inexpensive, worth the price.I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely place for Sunday breakfastOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 6/22/2014great food and desserts but for some reason their chocolate sauce as served over vanilla gelato was simply terrible.. not dark, not thick, not hot... but cold, thin, and tasteless, they should be ashamed of themselves.... their pastry chef should sample good chocolate sauce anywhere in Belgium for example or Angelina in Paris, then make it even better!Special Features:
- Good food but.....Foodie4everDined on 5/8/2014This place had good food especially desserts but unfortunately there was no one younger than the age of 60 there than us! The ambience was awful and we felt rushed most of the time with waiters coming over to our table constantly to clear it so they can seat an old couple. I will not be going back!!!Special Features:
- Memorable dinnerMilacikVIPDined on 4/26/2014We loved everything about Sant Ambroeus on Madison Avenue. Service was spot on and food delicious. Sommelier recommended the most wonderful bottle of white wine. We will be back very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this restaurantLadyaliceDined on 4/7/2014A lovely experience, I remember it from 40 years ago, always a great neighborhood gem.........

- This place was great! I madeOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 3/22/2014This place was great! I made an early reservation and the resturant was pretty empty when we arrived however we were still seated on top of another table. When I asked the hostess about this she was not eager to change my table. Thankfully Dino came over and was able to give us one of the empty tables. He picked a great wine and our server was outstanding! The food was quite good and we did not feel rushed at all. I will be back to this resturant.Special Features:
- A touch of Italy in ManhattanvisitorVIPDined on 2/26/2014Never mind that you are actually on Madison and 77th Street in New York, this little slice of authentic high end Italy is a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, coffee or dinner. The food is always deliciously prepared and the ambiance, service and presentation perfectly Italian. They offer what i consider the best coffee/espresso drinks in the neighborhood.Special Features:
- upper east sidesbiiVIPDined on 1/20/2014Great food. Tons of foreigners who have sought this place out.Special Features:
- First Breakfast ExperienceAgbackerVIPDined on 1/19/2014We were in NY for the weekend and decided to stop in for breakfast our last morning. Everything from the apricot pastry to the eggs to the crispy pancetta bacon... all was great topped off by their killer coffee. We left smiling, as usual!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningRestaurloverDined on 1/14/2014I am glad I chose this place for a special dinner for my daughter, a college student home for the break. I now plan to take my wife. Great place! Great food! Great atmosphere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First ImpressionsAussieatsDined on 1/5/2014This was our first impression of Sant Ambroeus are we were delighted. The quality of the food, the warm attentive service and the ambience all contributed to a first class dining experience. I enjoyed the tuna tartare as a starter and found super fresh product with a perfect blend of capers and avocado. The breaded veal chop was the finest that I have tasted in NYC - wonderful golden color and surprisingly light. The deserts are a delight and should be sampled over may progressive visits with the best espresso in the City. We will be back - many times !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Crowded and a bit crazy, butjoiseychowhoundVIPDined on 11/18/2013Crowded and a bit crazy, but food is outstanding. Service is very professional, though you're likely to get bumped from time to time as servers navigate through the confined spaces. Intelligently chosen wines. Not where you should go for a romantic night out, but great for a nice lunch if you are shopping Madison Avenue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricey but not treated like goldEileenVIPDined on 11/10/2013After being sandwiched between two tables, and literally having the waiter's elbow in our food, we decided this place was not of the same class as the one in Southampton. Two hundred dollars for lunch warrants at least a thank you!
- Over rated.OpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 11/9/2013The food was fine but way, way overpriced. Our waiter was not particularly attentive. If I am going to spend that much on dinner, there are any number of places I would prefer to go for a much better dining experience.

- the place is jammed and theBobbi000VIPDined on 10/7/2013the place is jammed and the sound level in the back room of the restaurant is almost unbearable. The food is ok but in the overall , it does not justify the price. You just want to eat and leave, which is disappointing. We prefer to come at the bar in the first part of the restaurant to enjoy the delicious coffee, outstanding pastries and gelate. This is much more satisfying!Special Features:

- Overpriced and sadly over its primeOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/2/2013Once there was a time when Sant Ambroeus was the height of Euro sophistication in the Upper East Side. That time has passed. Having only enjoyed what I will openly admit, is amazing specialty coffee drinks in the front, I thought it a great idea to try the sit down restaurant in the back. Not my brightest plan to book a table without checking the menu prices. Of the two risotto dishes only one, Frutti di mare had real flavor. The sapharon risotto basically tasted like boiled rice. Completely flavorless and for $25 a plate hughly disappointing. Not one to visit without a healthy wallet and a risk taker view of ordering. Sorry Sant Ambroeus but the bread was really the best part.

Stocks fell more than 1% last week on the continued parade of conflicting U.S. economic data as well as some renewed nervousness over Spanish bank finances. The market's second consecutive weekly drop marked the end of a strong third quarter, with equities returning a solid 6%.
Nevertheless, lately it seems that whenever investor focus shifts from the Federal Reserve's persistent easing efforts to the lukewarm economic numbers, the market drifts downward.
While a report out Friday suggested Spain would need less money than expected to recapitalize its banks, the nation's finances stilled weighed on the U.S. market. Investors fear a possible downgrade soon from Moody's, which currently has Madrid at just one notch above junk status.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1% last week, or 142 points, to 13,437.13, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 1.3%, or 19.48, to 1440.67. In the third quarter the index rose 5.7%, and it's up 14.6% year to date. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2% last week, or 64 points, to 3116.23.
Friday the Institute for Supply Management said its Chicago purchasing manager index fell to 49.7 in August from 53.0 in July, weaker than expectations. Earlier in the week, second-quarter growth in gross domestic product was revised down to a 1.3% annual rate from 1.7%. Yet jobless claims fell sharply for the week ended Sept. 22, the Labor Department said last week.
The market's back to focusing on what's happening in the domestic economy, and "it's not rosy," says Malcolm Polley, president of Stewart Capital Advisors. The Chicago PMI is more indicative of what's really happening, he says: "It suggests a slow economy and one that can't gain speed." For both investors and corporate managers, the elections and the fiscal cliff loom large. "You can't plan for next year if you don't know the tax code, for example," Polley adds.
Marc Pado, who runs DowBull, an investment advisory firm, concurs. "Investors and companies are unwilling to invest. Uncertainty is holding us back," he says. "It's all about politics and how the next three months are going to go" with respect to the elections and any resolution of the fiscal cliff. In the short term, the market's likely to be range-bound until the elections, he adds.
UP NEXT WEDNESDAY is the beginning of the debates between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
One of the industries whose fortunes are most exposed to the coming U.S. elections is the defense sector. The group's performance has been mixed since Aug. 2, 2011. That's when Congress passed the Budget Control Act, which made the threat of 2013 sequestration of Defense Department funds and automatic spending cuts a realistic possibility.

The Pain of Sequestration
The market views defense-spending sequestration as unlikely, but Lazard analyst Michael Lewis sees it as the most likely scenario short of a Republican election sweep. Potential drops in 2013 defense company revenue and EPS are listed below.

Since then, the group has partially discounted the risk of sequestration but not all of it, says Michael Lewis, a Lazard Capital Markets analyst. However, most of the investment community, he says, views sequestration as something that won't occur: "The feeling is, it's so bad that it won't happen."
But Lewis isn't as sanguine, and he's gone to the considerable trouble of attempting to handicap what 14 companies with Pentagon revenue stand to lose in sales and earnings per share in 2013 if sequestration were actually to begin Jan. 2. (See nearby table.) Lewis says sequestration is the most likely scenario short of a Republican sweep in the November elections, a prospect that seems to grow dimmer by the day.
Perhaps investors aren't as prepared as they think. At its most basic, sequestration means some $54 billion would come out of annual national-security spending, nearly all of that from the Defense Department.

Not every defense stock has performed directly in line with its sequestration exposure. Flir shares, for example, are down 22%, and some of that could be due to European sales exposure. But CACI is down only 2% even as it is more exposed. Lewis says its management has been executing well, and the company has a strong following among institutional investors.
Besides profits and losses from sequestration, the human element will be painful as well. Lewis says full implementation could eventually lead to job losses of 4% to 6%, or 26,000 to 39,000 workers, among the 14 major companies in the table.
That's going to galvanize legislators. Although Lewis expects sequestration, he tempers that view with a belief that the new Congress, faced with those layoffs, will probably come to some kind of budget agreement in the first or second quarter of 2013 that will supersede the automatic across-the-board cuts required by sequestration.
A Republican sweep, Lewis says, could lead to a quick bounce in defense shares. Short of that, however, once sequestration looks to be a certainty, the stocks, some of them already down, will most likely suffer another significant drop, he warns.
THE STOCK MARKET IS OFTEN CALLED a casino, and one of the newest and starkest bets available among large caps is Transocean rig 1.6065830721003134% Transocean Ltd. U.S.: NYSE USD25.93 0.41 1.6065830721003134% /Date(1416607278650-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9622192 AFTER HOURS USD25.76 -0.17 -0.6556112610875434% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 852288 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 9392935284.49768 Dividend Yield 11.569610489780178% Rev. per Employee 613841 More quote details and news » (RIG). The global oil-services and drilling company has a market value of $16.1 billion.
Brazilian federal prosecutors served Transocean last Thursday with a preliminary injunction to cease operations there within 30 calendar days. Chevron CVX 1.0826016537379592% Chevron Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD118.58 1.27 1.0826016537379592% /Date(1416607245835-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7141509 AFTER HOURS USD118.58 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 220054 P/E Ratio 10.839716986306378 Market Cap 224166475475.63 Dividend Yield 3.6093776353516613% Rev. per Employee 3157450 More quote details and news » (CVX) was served as well. That move follows a drilling accident at the Frade offshore Brazil oil field last November that released less than 4,000 barrels of oil into the Atlantic.
Transocean said it "is vigorously pursuing the overturn or suspension of the preliminary injunction, including through an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. Absent relief from the courts, Transocean will be required to comply with the preliminary injunction."
The bet here is whether Transocean's legal efforts will be successful against the prosecutors. The company has 10 rigs under contract for work in Brazil, which represented 11% of revenue for the first half of 2012. Analysts estimate that every lost month in Brazil will cost Transocean about 15 to 20 cents in earnings per share, at least until they redeploy the rigs.
Since Wall Street is looking for about $3 EPS this year and $4.59 next year, should Transocean have to shut down operations in Brazil for a stretch, it's going to hurt. Last year revenue was $9.1 billion.
Meanwhile, its stock, which closed at $44.89 Friday, fell 7.5% on the week and is down almost 50% from 2011 highs. Transocean still hasn't settled all the potential and substantial litigation involving the Macondo Gulf of Mexico well blowout and fire in April 2010. That has cost $4 billion so far in downtime, legal costs, and other knock-on effects. Transocean stock trades at a price/ earnings ratio of 15, a bit less than its historical median. Net debt stands at $9 billion.
Common sense suggests Transocean has a good chance of prevailing in Brazil. The penalty seems disproportionate to the spill. Both the national regulator National Petroleum Agency—which has said Transocean crews did nothing wrong—and government-controlled energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro pbr 11.637487126673532% Petroleo Brasileiro S/A ADS U.S.: NYSE USD10.84 1.13 11.637487126673532% /Date(1416607349223-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 75158153 AFTER HOURS USD10.92 0.08 0.7380073800738007% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 951260 P/E Ratio 8.107703814510097 Market Cap 71992170450.0431 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1636330 More quote details and news » (PBR) continue to support Transocean's efforts. (Transocean operates numerous rigs for the Brazilian oil giant.) Brazil needs to develop its huge deposits of offshore oil resources and to use the expertise of companies like Transocean.
But the cooler-heads-will-prevail theory has a flaw. The decision will be made by a court following procedures and laws and might not take account of the painful economic impact of Transocean's departure. The uncertainty is high.
For the short term, at least, this stock has become a speculative bet rather than a long-term investment.
Channing Smith, a portfolio manager at Capital Advisors, which has held Transocean shares for about a year, is guardedly optimistic that the company will prevail for all the reasons we've noted above. He thinks Transocean will rebound, but he also warns the Brazilian litigation could be a drawn-out process, and "that wouldn't be good for the stock…This is a stock with hair on it."
Institutional investors can afford to place a small bet on a Transocean rebound. However, widows and orphans and individual investors who are tempted might be better served by waiting and letting the Brazilian judicial waters calm. The risk of missing a nice 10% jump if Transocean gets the injunction suspended or lifted must be compared with another sharp drop if it is unsuccessful.
Moreover, should the company get clear of this mess, there will probably be another chance of further gains after the initial rebound.

I really love that Leighton wrote about the experience. I know it's terribly difficult for artists to have an audience interpret or experience their work in a way so antithetical to their intent (Kara Walker's latest exhibit comes to mind), so it's great that she had a platform to discuss that.
It does seem that the younger age of the audience has something to do with it, but does that mean there is a lack of feminism or understanding of women's issues among that generation? UGH. Just sucky all around.

The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles has launched a new program designed to help teenagers learn safe driving skills.
The parent's supervised driving program will be distributed in DMV offices when a teen driver receives a learner's permit. The program includes booklets with a driver's log and specific lessons that parents can share with teenagers.
Nebraska DMV Director Rhonda Lahm says the program was designed as a confidence-builder for new drivers.
Col. David Sankey, the superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol, says 115 people have died in motor vehicles so far this year, including 19 teenagers. Of those teenagers, only six were wearing seatbelts.
Gov. Dave Heineman says young drivers should take a formal driver's education course when possible. But he says the parent's supervised driving program offers an alternative.

Even though movie tickets can run $12 a pop, people still line up for premieres. One reason: The enormous screen. It's so much easier to lose yourself in a movie when the action takes place on a 200-inch screen than when it's displayed on the 50-incher you might have at home. Not only does the big-screen experience envelope viewers in the experience, it allows them to see things that are not apparent on a smaller display, like the details directors agonize over during movie production. By contrast, on a 50-
inch flat-panel TV 8 feet away, these details are often too small to be easily seen or appreciated.
To best replicate the theater experience at home, a front-projection system is the way to go. "Front projection has come a tremendous way in a short period of time," says Jason Palmer, senior marketing and channel manager for home entertainment at Epson. "What many people don't understand is that a 50-inch flat-panel is only one-fourth the size of a 100-inch screen in terms of surface area. You can get an exponentially larger experience with a projector and a screen than with a flat-panel TV."

Cortez Details Math Hoffa & Dizaster Battle, Says "I Don't Think Anything Physical Could Happen"
Cortez predicts a winner and says, "only one way to tell is when the camera's on."
With a scheduled battle in place for later this month at KOTD's BOLA 5 event (June 28), Cortez spoke with VladTV about his expectations for the Math Hoffa versus Dizaster battle.
As the two rappers have traded disses on Twitter and in interviews in recent weeks, Cortez addressed the possibility that the battle would get physical.
"I think Dizaster is great at selling a card the same way Math is great at selling a card," Cortez said. "I think they do wanna kill each other so they're talking their shit. But, I think the day of, when they get in the ring together, that shit goes out the window. I think it's a mutual respect. Dizaster has been out here. Math has been out there. We was in the house together. It's bigger than that and I think a lot of people know that. I don't think anything's gonna happen. I don't think Dizaster is gonna try to egg Math on. I think Math is trying to learn to be bigger than that. Only one way to tell is when the camera's on and the nigga's in your face. Dizaster's wild. I don't think it's nothing crazy, I think they're both gonna put on a show like they wanna kill each other but I don't think anything physical could happen."
During the interview, Cortez also offered his prediction of the battle, saying, "I think Hoffa just knows that, yo, it's time to stop playing with niggas."

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.
When the frame story becomes the main story
A Framing Device is most commonly represented as a "story within a story": the main story exists as a tale being told within an overarching frame story. For example, a mother telling her child a fairy tale or an old man recounting his memories of a war. Usually, the main story takes up the majority of the narrative, with the framing story just being a shell - in other words, the only purpose of the framing story is to give structure and context to the main story, analogous to a literal picture frame that holds a photograph/illustration. This trope, however, is when the frame story suddenly takes over, replacing or becoming the main story. When the story of mother and the child becomes the main focus, showing that the fairy tales are their way of coping with the poverty of their real lives, or when the story of the war veteran takes over, showing how the old man struggles to relate to a world that seems to have moved on and forgotten his sacrifices.

A little about me...
My one big passion in life is to be health and enjoy life after retirement. I don't smoke, I never have and I am not one sit in the bars. The one thing I have found is to never compromise on what you believe in. I am a caring and good person to be around. I can be fun to be with and I can be serious when I need to be. I know how to communicate and I know how to listen. If this makes a great partner then I am the guy for you.
About the one I'm looking for...
I like to have a good debate over something that I find interesting . I like to find a women who can talk about many difference things. I have many interests. Everyone wants a good caring and honest women I am no difference. She has to care about her health and care about the way she looks. Not looking for super attractive women; just someone who take care of herself health wise and looks.
I'd just like to add...
I think a great relationship is not a ease thing to find. You need to find someone to trust and she needs to trust you. I know what it is to trust someone and that trust is broken. I can write all kind of words. But the true of the matter you have to take the chance and get to know me as a person and as a man. I hope to hear from of the ladys and maybe find a relatioship. BY!

The nation's most influential food scientist, Harold McGee, is going to be giving a three-day seminar at the French Culinary Institute from March 15 to 17, but we were at first a little hesitant about going. The last time we attended such a talk, by molecular gastronomist Herv This, the great mans pronouncements were so profound, and his insights into the nature of matter so complex, that we were stymied and had to be woken up by security guards long after everyone else departed. McGee, though, will be giving practical demonstrations for three days, including six ways of searing a steak, everything you wanted to know about eggs and emulsions, and, on day three, a futuristic tour of enzymes, hydrocolloids, and equipment such as freeze dryers vacuum packaging, and rotary evaporators. Who could resist such a curriculum? For three days and $1,200, you can be the chef of the future!

Lee county collects about one-million dollars a year in surplus money from tolls on the Midpoint and Parkway bridges. But that money is not going back to the drivers who pay the tolls.
"We have an agreement with the city of Cape Coral to use any surplus dollars to improve the Veterans-Burnt Store Corridor," said Dave Loveland, planning director for Lee Dept. of Transportation. "Given the small amount of the money left over, it really does not make sense to lower tolls or something like that."
Some drivers disagree. "I say, give it back to the drivers! They ought not to just keep it. They spend so much on planning things we don't really need. How about returning our money," said Leew Lewellyn of Cape Coral. He said he often pays tolls on the bridges.
Loveland explained, the county runs a surplus to keep the bonding companies happy. "Those companies get antsy if you don't have a good surplus. They give us the best interest and insurance rates, if we run a decent surplus. That way, those bonding companies know, they are going to get paid back. I suppose you can't blame them, when they have loaned so much money," Loveland told WINK News.
Just recently, Lee Commissioners approved spending 1.6 million surplus dollars to hire a company. That firm will design a possible fly-over at Veterans and Santa Barbara.
The toll money goes first to paying off the construction bonds, then to operations and maintenance of the bridges. Then, anything left over goes into the surplus pot.

E-commerce Still Too Complicated For Most
Posted By Brian Bond On July 2, 2008 @ 7:47 am In Customer Experience,Persuasive Design,Persuasive Momentum,Research,Retail,Sales Complexity,Web Design,e-commerce | 14 Comments
[1]I was catching up on my reading from last week and noticed this gem from eMarketer [2]. In it they shared some data from the Pew Internet & American Life Project study [3] in February 2008 on the positive and negative attitudes of online buyers by age.
One thing jumped right out: Across the board, the percentage of those surveyed who had negative things to say about shopping online was higher among older shoppers, with one exception. Can you guess?
"Online shopping is still too complicated." Unbelievable, huh? But it's a sentiment evidently shared by 18 year olds and 65+ year olds equally.
To me, this just shows the opportunity that still exists in the e-commerce space. The burden is really up to us as marketers to understand who our visitors are and what they what to see [4] in order to be comfortable purchasing. It's a challenge that keeps me passionate about this space and I hope motivates you.

Vermont Teddy Bear Creepy Valentines Gift [VIDEO]
What do you get the girl who has everything?
What do you get the girl who has everything?
You wanted court side seats?
Former 'Bachelorette' DeAnna Pappas and husband Stephen Stagliano welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on Thursday, Feb. 6.
'Game of Thrones' gave fans a bit of a surprise in revealing that Ed Skrein wouldn't reprise his memorable role as Daario Naharis for the fourth season, before 'Treme' star Michiel Huisman eventually stepped up to fill the part and ascended to series regular. Now yet another character from Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) side has been upped to series regular in season 5, suggesting a strong emphasis on Daenerys to come.
This three minute video about mean tweets is more entetaining than Twitter itself.
If you can't wait till Sunday night, get your zombie fix here!
Back in 1999, the world was introduced to arguably the best TV show ever created. Set primarily in New Jersey, 'The Sopranos' explored the story of mobster Tony Soprano, a man attempting to keep his home life, as well as his mental state, intact in a profession where a bullet could come flying around any corner.
Though not entirely surprising given NBC's earlier move to cancel struggling freshman Thursday comedy 'Sean Saves the World,' the network has officially pulled the plug on its more high-profile 'Michael J. Fox Show.' The veteran 'Family Ties' and 'Back to the Future' star had completed work on the 22-episode order, though the remaining episodes may never see the light of day.
While we'd imagine a truckload of pineapples already on its way to USA headquarters right now, a grim but expected day for 'Psych' fans has come. USA has officially decided to make the current eighth season the final bow for the long-running psychic detective comedy starring James Roday and Dule Hill, closing out the series with a March finale that precedes an hour-long live retrospective. And yet, might hope be on the horizon?
'Orange Is the New Black' star Laura Prepon became the subject of a good deal of speculation around the second season of Netflix's breakout drama with reports suggesting she would appear in four out of the upcoming 13 episodes. Now, as an announcement of season 2's premiere looms, series creator Jenji Kohan stepped up to clarify Prepon's season 2 involvement, which apparently is much more than initially thought.

Embattled city planning commissioner resigns
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg Planning Commissioner Edward Whelan III submitted his resignation to fellow commissioners, the mayor and the City Council on Tuesday.
His action follows public questioning of his conduct by two members of the City Council on April 22 and subsequent calls by Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw and City Attorney Kathleen Dooley for his resignation related to a conflict of interests.
Whelan is manager of the Inn at the Olde Silk Mill and registered agent for the limited liability company that just bought the former Virginia Electric and Power Co.'s Embrey Power Station property.
In December, as a planning commissioner, he initiated an effort to rezone the Mill District of the Princess Anne Corridor, which impacts both properties.
He officially declared his involvement with the inn but did not disclose that he was involved in the other property despite having consulted Dooley and the city commonwealth's attorney prior to beginning the process at the Dec. 11 commission meeting.
"Their [sic]sic has been an honest misunderstanding in declaring my evolving role in the zoning and restoration of the Mill District," Whelan wrote in his email to fellow commissioners on Tuesday. "Out of abundance of caution I have submitted my resignation to City Council."
Whelan had served on the commission for 8 years. He was initially appointed to fulfill the unexpired term of another commissioner in October 2005.
The City Council will appoint Whelan's replacement after applicants are interviewed. Anyone interested in serving should contact Clerk of Council Tonya Lacey at City Hall, 540/372-1010 or download an application at the city's website: freder icksburgva.gov.
Whelan said that his extended family operates Dreamland LLC, which bought the Embrey Power Station property two weeks ago.
On Monday, Whelan submitted to the Planning Department a form disqualifying himself from partic- ipating in Planning Commission discussions and votes on the proposed rezoning of the Mill District.
But then on Tuesday, after days of vacillating on whether to resign, he notified city officials.
Virginia law requires public officials to make a "conflicts of interest act declaration."
Once made, the official can still participate in a transaction if he feels he can do so without bias.
On Dec. 11 when he proposed the rezoning and in March during a vote on the issue, Whelan declared that he felt he could "participate in the transaction fairly, objectively and in the public interest."
He didn't make a public declaration nor sign a conflict of interests statement regarding the Embrey Power Station property, a deal that has been in the works for at least two months.
State law says that a public official "may participate in the transaction if he is a member of a business, profession, occupation, or group of three or more persons the members of which are affected by the transaction" if he complies with the declaration requirements.
More than three property owners are impacted by the proposed rezoning of the Mill District.
Questions about Whelan's actions first surfaced publicly at the City Council's April 22 meeting. There, Councilman Fred Howe and Vice Mayor Brad Ellis expressed concerns.
On Friday, after learning of Whelan's involvement in the power plant deal, Dooley called Whelan and told him he should resign.
On Monday, Mayor Greenlaw told The Free Lance–Star he should step down.
Whelan submitted his resignation to the City Council about noon on Tuesday and told The Free Lance–Star he had nothing further to add.
In the email, he said it had been an honor to serve the city as a commissioner since 2005.
"During that time, I have always worked hard for what is best for the entire city and its future. I believe my experience as an entrepreneur has bought [sic]sic valuable insight to the planning commission as we weigh how we will grow as a community. I have always strived to handle my duties in the most honest and forthright manner possible and long been upfront about my role as an active member of our business community."
He added that his role had recently grown and that "looking forward I believe that it is best that I step down from the planning commission to avoid any distraction from the city's important work."
Pamela Gould: 540/735-1972
Below is the unedited content of the email Planning Commissioner Edward Whelan III sent to Fredericksburg's mayor and City Council on Tuesday to announce his resignation.
Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw and City Council,
It has been an honor to serve the city of Fredericksburg for the past eight and half years. During that time, I have always worked hard for what is best for the entire city and its future. I believe my experience as an entrepreneur has bought valuable insight to the planning commission as we weigh how we will grow as a community. I have always strived to handle my duties in the most honest and forthright manner possible and long been upfront about my role as an active member of our business community. Recently, that role has grown, and looking forward I believe that it is best that I step down from the planning commission to avoid any distraction from the city's important work. While I will no longer serve in city government, I look forward to remaining an active voice in our community as a business and civic leader.
Respectfully Ed Whelan

I *adore* Chili. This is really an awesome color for anyone with yellow-toned or olive skin. As one of MAC's matte lipsticks, it tends to be a bit drying, but will stay put for hours without budging. This is a wonderfully flattering shade with great lasting power. I use it with MAC's pencil liner in Auburn and it's a perfect match. Amazing shade, amazing formula -- will repurchase!

I had high hopes for this color after reading reviews here. I'm Asian NC35/C4 with dominant olive tones. In the tube, this appears to be a red with brown tones. However, on my lips, this pulls a very strong orange. No, not a nice coral as some have described, but a full-on orange. Unfortunately this did not work out for me.

Great red lipstick for yellow/olive skintone!
Chili is the ultimate 'autumn', warm, spicy red! It looks terrific when paired with Auburn liner! I love creating that spicy, warm look, so I often use bronzer, a warm peachy-bronze blush (I love peach-twist by MAC) and bronze/gold smokey eyes! Chili is definitely a warm, orange based red. If you're very cool toned, chili will wash you out - try Russian Red instead!

Very nice matte warm brick red that looks good with my yellow undertones and I would imagine great for olive skin girls. Stays on well and doesn't rub off too much. Easy to apply and not too dry. The color is very rich.
This is a prefect color for light olive tones and dark brown/black hair. This could even be pulled off with blonde/tanned colors too like a seinna miller look. This is perfect for a 1940's bombshell look. It's my version of a perfect "red" shape for me verses a brick red lipstick. This is a red matte lipstick with some coral in it, That is the best way I can think to describe it. If you want people to notice your lips, your trying to get your lips to stand out more, or your going for the whole retro look this is the lipstick for you! One of my fav's and my fav fav red lip color ever!
This is the dream lipstick I've been looking for all my life. As other redheads may know it's a challenge finding a good red lipstick that doesn't turn fuchsia or make you look ruddy after 10 seconds. The color looks like an almost orange brown next to the other MAC matte colored reds but still reads as a red once on lips (rather than orange or brown). And because it is a matte it stays on longer than most of the MAC lipsticks. Perfect for warm toned skin. This color is extremely wearable (day or night) and could be worn in winter or summer. Used MAC lipliner in Brick.

I thought I would love something blue based, but this is my color. It just brightens my whole face. If you think you have cool undertones and can't handle a red that sits a little warm, give 'Chili' a try.
I'm not sure what it is about my skin coloring or my lip chemistry, but blue-reds and me just don't mix. Which is why I avoided reds for the longest time, until I read the reviews for Chili and went out to get a tube for myself. It's a nice warm red with a good dose of brown, but not in a vampy way. It's a great red to wear to brighten up your face but not scream, "LOOK AT ME I'M WEARING RED LIPSTICK" so it's the perfect daytime red. Staying power is also great -- it doesn't fade on me unless I eat or drink, and even then, it's minimal fading just on the inside lip. It is a bit drying though, so I usually top it off with a little clear gloss. I pair it with MAC "Auburn" l/l as recommended per reviews, and I'd say it's a pretty spot-on duo. =]
Might not work on cooler skin tones, though. For reference, I'm an NC25 with olive undertones.

Wonderful red shade! Not too bright or unnatural, and the orange undertones work great with my red hair. I think this lipstick would work well on almost anyone, and particularly well on those with yellow undertones.

|Professional competencies for entry-level student affairs professionals
|Henry, Judith
|The purpose of this study was to identify what entry -level student affairs professionals perceived as their current level of expertise with regard to specific professional competencies and whether or not they needed continued development for each competency . Additionally , the study sought to determine whether significant relationships existed between selected respondent characteristics and professional development needs . The population surveyed included 246 full -time , entry -level student affairs professionals from public four -year institutions in Texas . Usable responses were received from 191 (77 .6 % ) of these professionals . Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and present a portion of the data . Chi -square statistical tests were employed to determine the significance of relationships for the remainder of the data . Of the 26 competencies , a majority of the respondents rated their current level of expertise as high in the areas of : interpersonal relations and communication skills , decision -making , leadership skills , working well with diverse groups , working cooperatively with others , understanding functions of work , and internalizing professional standards /ethics . Respondents indicated a need for continuing professional development in the following competencies : recognizing legal implications , recognizing special needs of ethnic minorities , displaying familiarity with professional literature , evaluating group dynamics , and formulating and interpreting policy . Few significant differences were found between the current level of expertise and the need for continuing professional development . Independent variables such as sex , age , highest degree , job function , length of time in the position , and the next desired position were not associated with significant differences in the perceived professional development needs of respondents . The professional development activities most preferred by the respondents were : conferences , discussions with colleagues , workshops /seminars , and mentor relationships . Based on the findings , conclusions included the following : (1 ) The non -significant , statistical test results indicate similarity of need for continuing development regardless of respondent characteristics ; (2 ) Entry -level student affairs professionals indicate a sense of competence about their capabilities ; and (3 ) Respondents are concerned with continuing their professional development .

Storage developer Halite Energy has sent a pre-legal-action letter to the UK government objecting to its rejection of the company's proposal for a natural gas storage facility at Preesall in Lancashire.
The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) refused Halite's application last month, citing a lack of comprehensive geological data (see ESGM 9 April).
Keith Budinger, Halite's chief executive, said the company's legal team has sent a "letter before claim" to DECC in relation to the decision. In such disputes, a formal letter before claim must be sent before any legal action to provide an opportunity to settle the matter outside of court.
Budinger said: "The letter sets out prospective grounds of legal challenge to the decision and requests that the secretary of state responds to the issues raised."
Halite's proposed facility would have the potential to store 600 million cubic metres (mcm) of gas for commercial purposes and a total capacity of 900mcm.
Even if the company is successful in overturning DECC's decision, the economic environment into which the Lancashire facility would be brought remains fraught.
Some storage developers whose projects have won environmental approval have yet to make final investment decisions on their projects, while a narrowing of the NBP's seasonal contract spreads has led to a substantial price fall for capacity allocated for the new storage year at Centrica's long-range Rough facility (see ESGM 8 May).

It has been George Plews' ambition ever since he moved to Yorkton to see a Habitat for Humanity Restore in the city.
On June 23, he along with Restore manager Merv Catchuk announced the grand opening of the retail building supplies outlet will be July 3.
The store will sell new and slightly used building supplies, tools and appliances at discounted prices with all the proceeds going to building Habitat homes for deserving families.
Plews explained there are some unique features to the Yorkton Restore in its partnerships with Yorkton Transitional Homes for Youth and the Saskatchewan Abilities Council (where the Restore is located on Ball Road).
The Restore board hopes they will be able to draw from the workforce of these to organizations.
Another unique partnership is with Sunrise Health Region. Louise Belanger, a board member and Sunrise community education person explained that living conditions are a major determinant of health so Habitat for Humanity and the Restore fit perfectly with the health regions mandate of promoting healthy lifestyle.

The 49ers are moving to Santa Clara. Tight End Vernon Davis is making sure that Jamba Juice will be making the move right along with the rest of the team. Davis has signed a store development agreement with the Jamba Juice Company that looks to enhance the brand's presence in the Santa Clara marketplace. The multi-year deal will see Davis opening two new Jamba Juice stores in Santa Clara in the next two years, with an option to open additional locations in the subsequent two years. Under the deal, Davis has also purchased one of the existing Jamba Juice stores in the Santa Clara area. Both parties are looking to provide Jamba's food and beverage products -- including fruit smoothies, juices and salads -- to the Santa Clara area, to promote wellness and healthy living. "Playing football in California, I have become a huge fan of Jamba Juice products and the Company's mission to help inspire and simplify healthy living," said Vernon Davis, athlete and entrepreneur. "I am very proud to be associated with a brand that is so committed to helping consumers keep fit and eat healthy. Jamba offers a great line-up of good-tasting, better-for-you products and they have a long history of supporting the community, and especially in addressing the health and wellness needs of children, which is very important to me." "Vernon is an outstanding athlete and role model, one who serves as an inspiration for those seeking to achieve high levels of success in their personal or professional lives. He is committed to enabling people to lead healthier, more active lifestyles and to supporting the community," stated James D. White, chairman, president and CEO, Jamba Juice. "Vernon has brought the same level of commitment to this business partnership that he brings to his game, and we are excited to have him join Jamba in making healthier, better-for-you products available to everyone." The health and well-being angle promoted by Jamba Juice seems to make them a popular franchise purchase among athletes, as it provides an additional revenue stream, and seemingly does nothing more but strengthen the brand of the active, natural lifestyle, of the healthy athlete. We recently saw Venus Williams sign a similar multi-year partnership with Jamba last July. (via Press Release)
