Regent Street is home to some of the most iconic architecture in London so it seems apt that a number of inspiring architectural installations will be gracing the street this autumn. Playing host to the world's best up-and-coming architects in partnership with RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects), Regent Street will welcome a melding of unique retail design with contemporary architecture to its stores.
The collection of installations will see fifteen leading architecture practices reinvent the shop window in fifteen unique ways to form an outdoor exhibition, which will be seen by Regent Street's one million plus visitors per week. From rolling clouds to moulded mannequins, the windows of fashion retailers, perfumeries and restaurants on Regent Street will be transformed to feature architectural installations that reflect the brand and engage with shoppers.
The initiative is now in its fifth year of showcasing original design and conceptual work in a street wide outdoor exhibition. This year the installations will be up for three weeks from 1-21 September 2014 and will coincide with both London Fashion Week (12-16 September) and the London Design Festival (13-21 September).
Brands participating in the Regent Street Windows Project 2014 include Topshop working with Atmos, Folli Follie with Denizen Works and Aquascutum whose window is created by the all-female practice, vPPR Architects, who will feature a spectacular display of moving clouds, which will act as a dramatic backdrop for Aquascutum's iconic trench coats. The display celebrates they typical weather of Britain and coordinates with Aquascutum's latest season's shades.
These unique and eye-catching displays demonstrate the innovation and creativity of architects whilst demonstrating the retailers' commitment to quality design. Regent Street will become a platform for design, where architects, designers and fashion designers will showcase and explain their work in a celebration of all things 'designer' related over the three week period.
For more information on the retailers featured in the RIBA Windows Project, please download the Regent Street App.

text: Isaac Chotiner's Belated Awakening Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 22 Jan 2014 post a comment Isaac Chotiner has penned a worthy deconstruction of David Remnick's interview of President Barack Obama for the New Yorker. He notes that Obama condescends to Americans, speaking to us like children: "Remnick's piece, in fact, doesn't show Obama's complexity; it shows Obama applauding his own complexity," Chotiner notes. And it annoys him--well, it's starting to, anyway, after five or six years of the same tired routine. Citing one particularly long self-reflection by Obama, Chotiner is incredulous: "After eight years of George W. Bush, I found comments like this one appealing five years ago, and so did a lot of others. All the same, while it may be 'adult' to talk to people with such self-awareness, the sentiments themselves are not very deep ('doing my very best,' 'at the end of the day things will be better rather than worse.') This is how adults talk?" I applaud Chotiner's analysis here, but it comes too late. Not only are we stuck with Obama, but his personality flaws were evident long ago to anyone willing to take a look at the man himself rather than the fantasies built around him. My own personal moment of disillusionment with the promising junior U.S. Senator from my then-home state of Illinois came when I read his second memoir, The Audacity of Hope, in late 2006. What struck me was Obama's habit of articulating both sides of an argument--and then always choosing the wrong one, for the most craven reasons. It's Obama's signature move, and people often convince themselves that because he can articulate their (opposing) view, he a) is smart b) is open to agreement or compromise. But it's just a parlor trick--a post-modern lit-crit maneuver, a tactic, a defense mechanism, a political weapon. I was particularly irritated by Obama's reflections on free trade in Audacity. He walks through the arguments on both sides, and actually seems to come down, intellectually, on the side of free trade. He knows that it is the best option for the economy. Yet he votes against it--"to register a protest against what I considered to be the White House's inattention to the losers from free trade." Between the lines: because the unions said so. Pathetic. Obama has always tried to hide the grim reality of left-wing dogma behind such sophistry. Once you notice what he is doing, it becomes impossible to un-see. He can't help himself. For all his gifts, he is limited in his political skills, and that is how he compensates--through the "meta." As such, he makes a decent pundit but a bad leader. I'm glad Chotiner has finally seen through it, but angry--yes, angry!--that it has taken smart people so long.

The Santa Dilemma
As I write this, I am sitting at a Books a Million in Southeast Louisiana three days after Christmas. From my vantage point I can see a sad remnant of leftover stuffed Santa dolls and other unwanted Santa swag that sit all but ignored in their little island of misfit toys marked down to half price. Like many, many parents before me I had to deal with that troublesome imaginary elf this year. Santa presents a dilemma for Christians. If we reject Santa all together our children's friends and acquaintances will almost certainly not. Then parents start looking like another imaginary figure from holiday lore–the Grinch. On the other hand, if we embrace Santa we have a whole different set of problems. First, we seem to decieve our children for a few years about a man who lives at the north pole and defies the laws of physics every Christmas eve. Then one day, the magic fades and we make cynics of our kids. Perhaps they begin to wonder is there anything else we blindly believe in that makes us happy but ultimately is a myth. In other words, we run the risk of creating not just cynics but hard core skeptics about anything they can't see like Natalie Wood's character in Miracle on 34th Street. My own mother has a novel way of solving this conundrum the first time I exhibited skepticism about whether or not Santa was real. My mother's response was, "Honey, Santa Claus is an imaginary elf . . . that brings real presents." Huh? Even my philosphically untrained, pre-teen mind recognized a metaphysical paradox when I heard one. Maybe that was what prompted me to become a philosopher.
It seems I'm not the one dealing with this issue. Ultra-hip pastor Marc Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle wrote an article in the Washington Post about this very dilemma. Except Marc sees it as a tri-lemma. There are three options. We can reject Santa, We can embrace Santa, or we can redeem Santa. Marc isn't worried as much as I am about resembling the Grinch but he does say that Santa is so pervasive in our culture that its impossible to reject the myth and demonizing Santa is out of the question. Even I don't want my kids being the Sadducee on the playground, enlightening everyone into tears about Santa's non-existence. As you would expect, Driscoll opts for redeeming the Santa idea:
We tell our kids that he was a real person who did live a long time ago. We also explain how people dress up as Santa and pretend to be him for fun, kind of like how young children like to dress up as pirates, princesses, superheroes, and a host of other people, real and imaginary. We explain how, in addition to the actual story of Santa, a lot of other stories have been added (e.g., flying reindeer, living in the North Pole, delivering presents to every child in one night) so that Santa is a combination of true and make-believe stories.We do not, however, demonize Santa. Dressing up, having fun, and using the imagination God gave can be an act of holy worship and is something that, frankly, a lot of adults need to learn from children.
This seems reasonable. After all, Nicholas was a real person and he did bring presents. But alot about Santa has nothing to do with fact. Nicholas had no red and white suit. You can thank Coca-Cola for that. More importantly he didn't have powers that mimic God's attributes such as Omnipresence and Omniscience ("He sees you when your sleeping and knows when you're awake . . .") Nor did he presumably deign to stand in God's place as moral authority ("So be good for goodness sake.")
Marc does seem concerned about the problem of turning his kids into cynics or skeptics:
Since we also teach our children that Jesus is a real person who did perform real miracles, our fear is that if we teach them fanciful, make-believe stories as truth, it could erode confidence in our truthfulness where it really matters. So, we distinguish between lies, secrets, surprises, and pretend for our kids. We ask them not to tell lies or keep secrets, but do teach them that some surprises (like gift-giving) and pretending (like dressing up) can be fun and should be encouraged.
As you might guess, several atheists and agnostics couldn't help but try to draw parallels with cynicism and skepticism about Christianity in the comments section of the Washington Post's op-ed page:
The concept of Santa is a rehersal or practice for theism. Much more appealing to children than God, Santa-belief teaches them they are being constantly watched, that they will be rewarded or punished by the watcher, that impossible things can REALLY happen, that there are invisible agents ever present, that you will be rewarded for believing this. The best thing about Santa is that by age 8 they have figured out that their parents have lied to them, fooled them, tricked them, played a game on them, conned them. It is the parents that need to be forgiven! My christmas wish is that more adults will have the "8 year old" experience and realize that God belief is just as unnecessary and false – even though it may also be rewarding.
Your explanation is uncannily similar to how I explain Jesus to children. Yes, I say, there was a Jesus who lived long ago in ancient Palestine. But after he died people told many stories about him, so that in addition to the 'actual story' of Jesus a lot of other stories have been added (e.g. stories about Jesus doing miraculous things, stories that he didn't really die, and stories that he was God incarnate!).
It seems that if Nicholas can be molded into Santa, Jesus can be molded into the Christ. Of course there is the problem that's Nicholas' apotheosis took centuries while we have Paul conservatively declaring the "myth" of Jesus' divinity within a few decades. C.S. Lewis remarks that those who normally would say the Gospels are mere legends have spent precious little time with the type of literature they are so sure the Gospels are:
If he tells me that something in a Gospel is legend or romance, I want to know how many legends and romances he has read, how well his palate is trained in detecting them by the flavour; not how many years he has spent on that Gospel (From "Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism")
(Of course Lewis also thought that much of the first third of Genesis was in fact allegorical myth but that's for another day). The point is that these kind of leaps are far, far too easy to make. Here's another example:
I explain to children that the Jesus who actually lived was different from the stories told about him. Not only that, as I explain, Jesus himself was the first 'story-teller' about Jesus. For Jesus probably claimed that he was a divine intermediary called 'The Son of Man', and claimed that he had a special role in bringing about the end times, and even (incorrectly) claimed that these end times were coming very soon! He did and said many good things, but also many things that weren't so good and should not be followed by children or even adults.
Perhaps more dangerous is the idea that we can exact the "spirit" of Jesus' teachings from any historical facts about him:
I don't see how anyone can doubt the historical existence of Jesus, he was obviously a great moralist and a wonderful storyteller. I think of him as a 1st century Abraham Lincoln, who shared many of his moralizing and storytelling traits (along with a martyrdom). Does anyone doubt the existence of Honest Abe?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it is far more damaging to reduce Jesus to a human moralist with a past shrouded in myth, than it is to rail against his teachings. But if we do both, then he can be safely put on a shelf along with other well-meaning moral personifications like Santa Claus. Then, like Santa Claus, he can be useful for children and as a piece of nostalgia. He too can be something to grow out of and looked upon fondly once a year when we remember that well meaning myth we once believed. We could even have a stuffed version at the Books a Million that we can mark down every December 26th.
You'll notice, dear reader, that I'm not providing any instruction about the Santa Dilemma. I'm still figuring it out myself. I would welcome your thoughts.
5 responses to "The Santa Dilemma "
At our house we decided we would not lie to our children about Santa, the tooth fairy or any other mythical personality. What we taught them from the earliest they could understand was that Santa was just a fun story like Cinderella and Snow White – and the tooth fairy. They learned about Santa's origin and history so as to be able to deal with other children – but not to tell the other children because that was THEIR parents' job.
We had fun with him, nevertheless. We watched the Santa movies, we played that Santa was coming and even had gifts "from Santa" under the tree – but they knew the gifts really came from us, just like they knew the money from the tooth fairy was from us.
On the other hand, we celebrated the day as the birthday of Jesus, and even had a birthday cake. They were taught that, although we don't really know when he was born, this was the day chosen to celebrate. And as they got older they were told the origins of the date chosen being in paganism, but that we don't celebrate like pagans.
My wife's grandfather was the only one it bothered, and he was livid, stating we were stealing a part of their childhood.
Thanks for the comments about Santa. There is another component: Even if we can explain Santa in a way that does no violence to the truth, Santa's prominent role is aimed at eclipsing Jesus during one of the most important Christian celebrations.
Jesus offers peace today and life in heaven sometime down the road. Santa brings ipods today, and the marketing message suggests, "owning an ipod is heaven" or "with an ipod we don't need heaven."
Growing up in a "good" home (we were not church goers, tho), I remember my little sister was absolutely crushed when as a young girl she found out Santa wasn't real. She cried and cried and cried. It was devastating, and I can only imagine how bad my parents felt. Lies hurt those involved — either immediately or eventually (Col.3:9). IMO, it would be better to say nothing at all rather than actively promote the world's agenda (2Cor.6:14).
I understand the atheist's conclusion and it seems a logical one people can make when we promote the Santa thing — Why shouldn't he think that? We know the atheist does not understand the supernatural/spiritual element of what is involved in a vital relationship with the living God (1Cor.2:14).
However, we were careful to explain to our children that very thing — there are many people who promote Santa who do know God and some who do not know Him, and it was a parent's choice what to do. It was also the parents who were to tell them Santa was not real.
Personally, I tend to believe that, as Christians, many have succumbed to imitating the way the world behaves rather than being salt and light. It was difficult for us, as Christians, to not "do" Santa or Halloween, etc. because of the very fact that other Christians did participate! Praise God, I became a believer at 35, and I admit I was extremely disappointed and surprised when I found out many fellow Christians promoted and/or participated in these deceptions. However, I also learned to be gracious because of the wonderful grace that was extended to me.
Hi My Wonderful Friends Don & Joy,
I see no problem at all with USA children having Santa in their lives when they are small. My children even to this day as grown ups appreciate the fact that they were told there was a Santa out of love and as they got older and realized we were continuing the Santa thing never felt "betrayed." I actually feel sorry for believers who are so paranoid about their Christianity that they obsess about Santa and similar things. If one's Christianity is this fragile there are deeper problems. When you think about it if you tell the kids that Santa brings the gifts you are unselfishly giving gifts to your kids that you can take no credit for.. If you teach them there is no Santa they are going to feel isolated from their friends and their friends will think they are strange. To quote our pastor "if people think you are weird who wants to be like you?" In other words its hard to witness to folks who have no desire to be like you. When my oldest daughter was a little girl one adult told her there was no Santa because this adult was too selfish to give Santa the credit for the gift. That really upset me so that year I began dressing like Santa and have done it every year for the last 28 years. In our family Santa brings the gifts just before Christmas dinner. Also everyone still gets Christmas stockings even my 41 year old son! With kids and grandkids that's 15 stockings now plus one for the dog! Its also a witnessing opportunity as each "child" gets a book that deals with Christianity and believing. In past years have given Tony Dungy & Joe Gibbs books to appeal to the guys and similar for the girls also children s Bibles and this year "The Real George Washington" This year the question of why I still did Santa came up so I searched though a box of old papers and found the original letter Santa wrote to my little girl 28 years ago. When I realized I had found it my hands trembled as I opened the envelope! I read it Christmas Day and broke down crying so one of my daughters finished it but all eyes and ears were glued to us. I am also sending this to you in an email so I can include some attachments.
Your Friend Bill
There is no question that the true meaning of Christmas gets lost in our culture phenom of Santa craze. It is unfortunate that there are those who would label Jesus as a myth like Santa but it should not surprise us either.

Pet Doors from Havahart® - the recognized brand name for animal restraint, containment and training devices.
Ordered this to replace the door which was ripped out by an animal exterior to those that live in the barn (I think it was a racoon, either very hungry or possibly on 'steroids'). Any rate - door was an easy and uncomplicated install, solid construction and works well to secure the barn. I very much like that the frame is metal, the pass through flap is thick plastic AND the security door has a 'pull knob' that allows you to not only close the door to traffic, it allows the door to be SECURED. Works well for cats and the barn - Great product.
Easy to install and works great! We have a mix of small pups (chihuahuas) and spaniels. They all have easy entry and exit. They range in size from 3 pounds to 60. Not a problem for all.

A nostalgic interest in the past is a well-recognized feature of fast-changing, contemporary societies. It finds its expression in a variety of history-making practices of which the establishment of local heritage museums is a major manifestation in many parts of the world today. Katriel develops a communication-centered perspective on the study of heritage museums and — by extension — other tourist sites, highlighting the role of discourse in these institutionalized, yet vernacular contexts of cultural production, social legitimation, and identity formation.
Descriptive and critical in orientation, this book combines a close analysis of museum discourse with an exploration of such larger issues as:
• the socio-cultural role of museums as arenas for the production of collective memory,
• the ideological and performative constraints that shape museum presentations,
• the interfacing of verbal and visual codes of communication in the context of material displays,
• the dialectical interplay of the local and the global in contemporary life, and
• the interpenetration of the personal and the communal in vernacular processes of narrative production.
Of interest to scholars in communication, linguistics, anthropology, history, museum studies, tourism, intercultural communication, middle eastern studies, or those with interests in narratives, material culture, and ethnography.
Contents: Series Editors' Preface. By Way of Introduction. Studying Museums as Performative Arenas. The Tools Tell the Story: Narrative Trajectories in Settlement Museum Tours. Generational Styles in Settlement Museum Interpretation. Museum Encounters as Potentially Contested Sites. Contextualizing Settlement Museum Discourse.

Regarding the History Channel's Documentary of the Allies' Discovery of the Holocaust — a Reminder of How Evil Builds on Selfish Unconcern — Does America's Drone Murder Program Hint at the Same Kind of Cultural Immorality?
© 2012 Peter Free
12 November 2012
Citation — to the documentary film that this essay refers to
Nicole E. Rittenmeyer and Seth Skundrick, The Third Reich — Rise and Fall, New Animal Productions (for the History Channel) (2010) (DVD)
Available for significantly less at Amazon.com. And at no cost at TopDocumentaryFilms.com.
My point — sometimes we arguably need to remind ourselves that (a)it is not always business as usual and (b) the seeds of inhumanity lie (not so dormant) in most of us
What government commits in our name matters, ethically and spiritually.
The History Channel documentary reminds us of this principle, although it can be fairly criticized for heavy-handedness and sometimes inane editing.
The film's most telling reference to the Holocaust begins at 03:40 minutes into the sixth and final segment of its Fall portion. The cobbled together film clips document the American Army's discovery of Dachau in April, 1945.
If you are watching the film at TopDocumentaryFilms.com, you will have to forward through all six of the Rise segments and five of the Fall segments to get to this.
Interspersed are horrific scenes of seemingly unending windrows of Holocaust cadavers and starving death camp survivors. (Keep in mind that each of these deceased had a story identical in worth to our own.)
The producers remind us that, "There were more than 20,000 camps like Dachau throughout the Third Reich" (this quote coming at 07:07 minutes into the sixth segment of the Fall portion).
American authorities forced German civilians to tour the death scenes.
The basic spiritual principle — "It serves us right, nobody can escape this collective guilt"
So said Mathilde Wolff-Mönkenberg, Hamburg, circa 1945 (at 10:20 minutes into the sixth and final segment of the Fall portion).
We miss the message, if we think that the Holocaust was just an isolated example of human perversion
What happened under the auspices of the Third Reich was simply a more mechanized version of what human beings do to each other all the time.
With courageous imagination, I suspect that all of us can envision circumstances in which we would remain obediently silent in the face of similar government-sponsored evil, so as to protect ourselves and our own.
Evil often starts small, with omissions, rather than commissions
This is where my objection to the U.S. drone murder program comes in.
Presumably, killing terrorists is supposed to keep "us" safe. But being done as it is, without due process of any legitimate kind, means that the American public is tolerating essentially the same kind of indefensible discrimination against "others" that the Reich did on a much broader scale.
Take, for example, the Obama Administration's cavalier idea that any young male blown up by a drone strike was automatically a terrorist. This is the equivalent of, "If I happen to kill you, you were a bad person."
The circuitous logic defies every principle of rational thought and spiritual rectitude.
Yet, the majority of Americans reportedly approve of the President's drone program.
The moral? — Screw up the courage to watch the final fifteen minutes of the documentary — then try to argue with my point about the evil of institutionalized drone murder
Perhaps the biggest spiritual lapse is to be unaware of, and not to guard against, our own propensities for inhumanity. Allowing government to actively do bad things in our name does not evade personal responsibility.
American history itself is full of genocide and egregious hypocrisy. We don't need to add yet another episode of knowing wrongdoing.
I am not impressed with what "We the People" are allowing our Commander in Chief and Military Industrial Complex to get away with. Just imagine if it were your kid, who got blown up by a drone strike for no reason, other than that he was inconveniently there.
Even for an ex-cop and geopolitical realist like me, there is a distinction between self-defense and oppression. And between justifiable homicide and murder.
If our terrorist adversaries were "white" (like the Irish Republican Army was), you can be darn sure that the American drone murder program would have been terminated long ago.
This is the hypocrisy that the rest of the world sees. It is time that we saw it ourselves.

What is your "guilty pleasure" restaurant?
- l
- lovesublime Feb 15, 2008 08:28 AM
You know the place you go but dont like to tell people you go there and actually love the place. And, tell us your favorite item on the menu. Whether its fast food, a chain restaurant, or a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall!
Mine is Pasta Fair. I seriously love their house sauce, and their cheap white bread dipped into the overly-vinegary house dressing.
Come on chowhounds, theres nothing to be embarassed about! (ok, maybe a little) No one will be made fun of, insulted, or judged.
We might discover new places here.
I love to go to the Larchmont Diner for a deluxe cheeseburger on toasted english muffin with mustard, mayo and ketchup, side of onion rings. I never tell anyone I go there.
White Plains Galleria, Food Court. What is it called, the sandwich place, Charley's Subs or something. Turkey and Cheddar melt with mayo lettuce and tomato. Their turkey tastes so fresh, and their bread is toasted just right. I'm not even embarrassed to admit it, because normally turkey tastes way too processed for me. Man, I could go for one of those right now.
I've posted about this before, I'm sure, but I guess it belongs here as well.
In Englewood, NJ, there is a pretty standard Tex Mex place called Blue Moon. It is definitely no place to go out of one's way for, with the exception of one thing: they make a hell of a bowl of chili, called Full Moon Chili. It's made with large hunks of tender beef (sirloin), no beans or tomatoes, and a good dose of spicing. The good thing is that it loses nothing as a takeout order (sometimes I'll do a takeout combo of that chili with a schwarma from the place across the street.)
But if you're going to stay and make a meal of it the beef chimichangas are also not too shabby (and probably closer to a 'true' guilty pleasure.)
re: TongoRad
You summed up Blue Moon in a nutshell. I've been making special trips to the Wyckoff location (and to the Ridgewood location before that when it was open) for years solely for the Full Moon Chili. It's awesome. (But I don't recommend getting it topped with sour cream. It turns the chili into a white gloppy mess as it breaks down.) But as for most of the rest of the stuff? It's OK, but nothing special. But man, that chili...
Speaking of Mexican food, I love going to a real casual Mexican restaurant in Lodi on Rt. 46 called El Norte. Great food, and Monday night is All You Can Eat! You can pick soup, and about 20 different entree foods, and they make each plate fresh and bring it to the table. Awesome chips and salsa too. The enchiladas and tacos are my favorite. It's very casual, with a largely working class crowd. I go every two to three weeks. It never super busy, and for $9.95, it's probably the best restaurant value in North Jersey.
And if you want really good traditional chili, take a ride to Hot Dog Caboose in Midland Park. This is the most bizarre, most surreal, most AWESOME food stand in NJ. They serve out of a converted railroad car, and the food is great, especially the chili. Large chunks of meat, beans, and they spice it to your liking. If you want, they even give you the spice in a separate little cup. I don't know what's in it (probably a mix of peppers and vinegar), but it's great! Oh yeah, and the hot dogs and fries are great too!
The car is next to railroad tracks on a gravel road, and you'll feel like you're in rural Vermont until you peek down the road and see all the cars whizzing by on Godwin Ave. to remind you you're smack dab in the middle of Bergen County suburbia. Their hours are somehwta limited, especially in Winter, but check them out!
Other "guilty pleasures" for me - Bourbon chicken at the mall stands, Chick-Fil-A sandwiches and fries, and Rita's custard (especially strawberry, which is getting harder to find)!
re: zhelder
That Hot Dog Caboose sounds great! Thanks for the rec.
Folks, please help us keep this board focused on the restaurants that are unique to this area. We've removed a few off topic responses-- if you'd like to share your guilty pleasures at chain restaurants, please start a new thread on the Chains board, where such restaurants are discussed. Thanks for helping us uncover great chow in the Tristate area.
re: The Chowhound Team
After shopping, or even mall walking at The Westchester I either indulge in a plain yogurt at Baby Yogurt or a number 1 combo at Ranch One. In the spring when I don't mind standing on the line outside I can be found guiltily ordering a feast at Walter's hot dog stand in Larchmont.
re: lucyis
Tell me more about Pasta Fair. I've never ventured near enough to even look at the menu. Is it sit down of buffet?
re: MasterofLightChick
Finally did make it to Pasta Fair thanks to the first poster. It is totally a guilty pleasure but very enjoyable. The pasta is homemade so you can't go wrong there. The vodka sauce actually rocks and I crave it at times. They also have broccoli rabe with tons of garlic which makes me happy. I'm pretty sure the bread is fresh baked there as they offer pizzas though your choice for butter comes in a plastic container with a peel off top. Oh well...enough of the house chianti and you could care less. It's totally old school but sometimes better than Pasta Nostra depending on the specials of the week there and I'm not kidding!
Colony Pizza in Stamford (coming soon to Fairfield) has to be the ultimate GUILTY pleasure I've got goin' right now. First of all the pizza is small enough to eat yourself, but not too small where you feel hungry still. But that not even the half of it... On top of said pizza, I get pepperoni (the size of small softballs), sausage from DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET and just to put the big fat cherry on my big fat pie, hot oil. Oil infused with jalapenos.
Ok, that turkey on wheat I just had for lunch aint gonna cut it... I can get pizza if I go to the gym twice tomorrow, right?

On Thursday, they visited the War Memorial of Korea, where they burned incense and beat a traditional drum; Friday's itinerary included the exhibition of Danish architect Finn Juhl at Daelim Museum and the opening of the 2012 Yeosu Expo. Saturday saw the Danish royals spending another day at the Expo, where they cut the ribbon to open the Denmark Pavilion, and on Sunday they visited the border village of Panmunjom in the demilitarised zone between South and North Korea.

any good breakfast spots off 84 by hartford??
hey there, i'm heading up to maine tomorrow, and will probably need something to eat mid-morning. i LOVE breakfast, esp inventive stuff, but dig greasy spoon type places as well. i will be taking 84 to the mass pike, so i'm thinkin somewhere around hartford or just over the border in mass. btw, is gas cheaper in CT or MA? thanks for the 411!
In what town are you starting your trip? Definitely hold out for gas in MA, but hopefully we can get you fed for your journey in CT...hit us back...
Edit: I tried to figure out your start point from your profile...you're starting from White Plains? I'm probably going to come up short in the Hartford area. I can tell you I have on good authority that Michael's Bakery on Main St. East Hartford has great donuts, but you sound like you're up for an entire breakfast shebang.
Shame you can't detour to Middletown for O'Rourke's Diner, it's about as inventive gets, but you probably aren't nutty enough to make that kind of detour for breakfast...so let me let others help you instead. Safe travels!
Check out Mo's Midtown, 25 Whitney Street in Hartford (towards the line with West Hartford). Not too far off 84 & a greasy spoon.
One choice is Chez Ben Canadian & American Diner just off Exit 61 in Manchester. Take a right and stay to the right, it's on the left just past the fork abt 2/10 of a mile. Here's a review from the local weekly - http://www.hartfordadvocate.com/artic...
re: unocal
As a resident of Manchester I frequent Chez Ben's quite regularly and they serve a really good American style breakfast. Don't let the name fool you! Just a little farther up Rt 84 in Vernon there is a place called the Vernon Diner which serves a good breakfast. Also there is a Denny's there as well ,And its easy getting off and back on Rt 84
I say Mo's handsdown, especially over Chez Ben. Mo's has amazing pancakes (including potato pancakes served w/ sour cream). I'm a big fan of the apple walnut. Also- their homefries are to die for, as long as they've been on the grill long enough. The bacon is usually sitting out, so either ask them to throw it back on the grill or skip it for sausage.
Eggs are great here too- the "egg mcMo" is a personal favorite.
Totally agree with pp who said this is a greasy spoon- I think it's also cash only, but pretty cheap.
re: yogiinct
Just about the only thing worth trying at Mo's are the pancakes. The potato pancakes, to put it bluntly, suck. They manage to be both soggy and tough at the same time. Western omelettes use horrible cold cut ham that never fails to have nasty gristle bits, and the home fries are cut way too big. I'd even go to Gold Roc before Mo's.
re: yogiinct
I like Mo's fine, but Chez Ben is easy on and easy off I-84 (in case that was a consideration).
If you like unique places with great food, try Cosmic Omelet in Manchester. The food is yummy, the portions are filling, the bread is really good. They are just off of 84/384 in a non-descript plaza. Don't let the exterior fool you...there is goodness inside. Check out their website too.
Rein's Deli (exit 65 off I-84 in Vernon CT) has a breakfast menu as well as lunch & dinner. We've always stopped there on our way to/from Mass Pike and have never been disappointed with the food, service, prices, etc.
WAY too late to help you this trip
But CRACKER BARREL off 84 in STURBRIDGE MA is always my go to place for breakfast - - all day long!!
thanks for all the suggestions, but i ended up breezing by hartford both times. on the way up, it was just too soon to eat, and by the time i was heading home, it was dinner time. i really do need to find some good places though off 84, and off the mass pike as well, cuz by the time i get to maine i'm usually starving (although i dont mind holding out for a fried seafood sandwich :))! but thanks again, and ill be sure to try one of these spots in the near future.

The Top Ten NCAA Hoops Coach Fails
College basketball coaches are a fiery bunch. They are presented with the challenge of molding young men on and off the court. Many of the greatest coaches in the history of the sport are often noted for developing great relationships with their players and being a role model to these young men.

- T-Bone ParadiseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014My friends and I went to Knickerbockers for dinner at my suggestion, because it had been a while since I was last there. We were not disappointed. I went for their famous T-Bone steak, while my friends opted for other items. One friend had a pasta primavera, though that might have been a special. Another simply had a burger. They both tasted some of my ample T-Bone and loved it, as they loved their own dishes. I can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/20/2014We've been coming here for years and it is consistently very good - creative menu, delicious food, excellent service.

- Gone Downhillluke309Dined on 11/12/2014I have been going the the Knickerbocker for over 20 years and have always loved it. My past 2 experiences there have been terrible. The food has gone downhill. The BLT sandwich, which I used to look forward to was awful. The bread was stale and not toasted, the bacon (which I ordered well done) was chewy not crispy, there were 2 slices of roasted tomatoes on the sandwich (I couldn't tell they were even there). What a disappointment. I went this time because after my last bad meal, I thought it was a fluke, but it was as bad this time. I had another reservation for next week which I cancelled. So sorry about this great neighborhood restaurant going downhill.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/9/2014It was convenient to have an open table reservation as we were welcomed immediately and seated promptly by the host. We appreciated our table on the aisle and our server was very helpful without rushing us. Since we were catching up with our son who lives nearby we appreciated not being bothered in any way and not being rushed despite the restaurant being crowded. Everyone's meal was enjoyed. We have eaten here before and certainly will do again.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experienceHenriDined on 11/9/2014We used to go to Knickerbocker frequently years ago but haven't gone for years. Returning was a wonderful experience and makes us realize what a treasure it is. No uncomfortable metal chairs, no squeezed tables, no surly or non-existent service, no unpalatable dishes inspired by a chef whose experience is mainly with a TV camera, no non-existent ambiance. Knickerbocker is not that flash-in-the-pan restaurant that will have gone out of style in three months. Rather, its a delightful New York restaurant with very good food, pleasant service and comfortable ambiance.Special Features:

We've been going to the Knick for well over twenty years and it gets better and better each year. The menu is kept fresh, while holding on to popular standbys. The steaks are tops. And the staff is swell. At 6:45PM it was packed, and it stayed packed with a line to get in when we left at 9:15. We love the Kick and so it seems, do lots and lots of other people.Special Features:

- For serious food and conversationOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/25/2014One thing that people who work in the city are always complaining about, is the problem of getting affordable places where one can have a good working lunch. I personally have had to score through so many resturants to get a place that offers good food, but does not saddle you with a huge bill, sub-par service and NOISE! Knickerbock is close to my work, has superlative service, a wide range of good food and does believe that the its customers will want to talk to each during the meal. They make you comfortable, the music is turned low and the food is yum. Definitely one of my go to places.Special Features:
- A New York ClassicFrequentvisitorDined on 8/20/2014A regular hangout for locals to the Washington Square area, the Knickerbocker is also worth the effort for those farther a field. The menu offers a variety of 'comfort food' with steaks the standout. Hamburgers are excellent (and they'll make you one at dinner time even though it's only on the lunch menu). Meatloaf is almost as good as Mom's. There's no adventure in the food preparation, and no one on a diet should come. But it's a great place to meet old friends and talk an hour longer than you expected. There's a pleasant bar area and jazz on many evenings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Love the theme. Everything is perfect except I have set the image link url to my images using the "fader" and they show up correct in the settings panel, but when they are clicked on from the front end, they go to the root url(home page).
Any ideas?
Now I have discovered that all images use the same link url as the last image you add or whichever is at the bottom.
This is a small issue that I have recently found and will fix it in the next update. However, in order to change this, you have to open the fader.js file (within the script folder) and somewhere around line 96 change this code:
$('.fade_holder').click(function() { var link = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); if (link !== null) { location.href = link; } });
to be like this:
$('.fade_holder').click(function() { var link = $('.fade_holder').eq(perception_fader.currentImage).find("a").attr("href"); if (link !== null) { location.href = link; } });
Perfect!!! Fixed! Thank you so much!!!
And thanks for the fast response and fix!
I did not buy this theme, but my client did and I am working on it right now. For some reason, I am having a difficult time getting the shortcodes to work.
Is there something specific I need to do either with the theme or within Wordpress to allow for shortcodes?
I have also had another WP developer try and he had the same issues as me.
The only reasons that I can think of right now is that either you have made some changes in the functions.php file or you are using a very old version of WordPress (older than 2.5.). If none of these, you can send me a personal message by using my profile's contact form with some login details so I can have a look.
I have sent you an email with the URL and admin info. Please let me know if you received it. We are using Wordpress 3.0 and have not made any edits to the functions.php file.
Anything? Did you get the email I sent you and have you had a chance to take a look? This is the last thing I need to resolve before I can turn this over to my client. Thanks
Yes, I had a look. Shortcodes have been added with the last update, they weren't in the original version of the theme (and you don't have the latest version installed). I have added the code for the shortcodes in your functions.php file and now they work fine
Great theme!. I am having problems with the 3d slider. It will not show up. Links are ok… Here is the link, http://www.zafirapromo.com.br/novo One more problem… the messages never arrive from the contact form and the adress is correct at the Perception Option.
Can you help me, pls?
Regarding the slider- one possible reason for this not to work is if your theme's main files are located within two folders- for example the right way for your theme files is wp-content/Perception/files, but not wp-content/Perception/Perception/files, so please check this first. If not- I will need to see a page where this slider is called- you can create a new page, call the slider in it and provide a link (you don't need to insert the page link in the navigation menus).
Regarding the send email form- there is a possibility that the server that your site is hosted on does not allow sending emails, so please check this (you can contact the administrator to ask).
The Image Fader allows linking to other pages out of the box, but the best we've got with the 3D Rotation Slider is the brief descriptions. Is there any way to add links on the images of the 3D Rotation Slider and/or does the swf have js event hooks I can tie in to so I can brew up my own solution?
Good theme, but we can't use one of the main features that led to our purchase decision because it doesn't route traffic deeper into the site.
I'm sorry, but the 3D slider doesn't support links with its original version. If links are that important to you, you can use the fader and if you need some descriptions to it, you can just modify the images and add some titles to them.
Hi, I really liked this theme..it's awesome! I want to know if this is translation ready, I mean.. if this does automatic translations.. Thank you
First of all- thanks, I'm glad you like it
The theme has an option page in which you can change all the texts used very easily. Please check this screen shot, in the bottom of it you can see the translation section.
Hi! This is a great theme, I've bought several in the past, but the documentation you added is great. Really excellent work.
I have a question, though. I'm adding portfolio posts, but when I look at the Portfolio page, neither titles nor descriptions aren't showing, only the thumbnails. What am I doing wrong? I already checked the "Turn on/off title link" button is set to on…
Thnks, and awesome work
Already found out what was wrong, I was setting the page as portfolio Gallery… Done!
I'm glad you like my theme and good to know you have dealt with it
Hi, again! I'm kind of new to WP, so i wonder, how can I put a specific category portfolio gallery inside a featured page, after some text I added? Can you please help me?
You just have to select the selected portfolio category in the featured page "Post Category" custom field.
Sorry, I didn't made myself clear. I meant, not on the sidebar, but on the main content area. Thnks
I was talking about the main content area. So let me know if I am wrong, but as I understand you need your latest portfolio posts to be displayed on the featured page, am I right? If so, you just have to open your featured page in edit mode and below the main content area in the field "Post Category" you have to select your portfolio category from the drop down list. I hope this makes sense.
First up, awesome theme.
Just wanted to know if on the home page you can change the links on the home page posts. Currently if you click the title it links to the article page, id love to be able to change this to link to another page or external link.
Is there a way to easily do this?
If you do the change described in here:
then you will have to create a custom field in your post (below the main content area) with key link and value the URL that you would like your post to link to.
thanks, works like a treat
Hey sorry one more question, Its related to something you have done before.
Im wanting to know if I can have the portfolio page thumbs link straight to an external link.
Ive used the code you previously posted but I cant see where i have the option to point the url.
Maybe I can do this all through a page using Images and hyperlinks? but at the moment Ive set up through the portfolio page and thought maybe ask if there is an easy way to do this. Also just to give you feedback of feature some users may want.
Im sorry I cant imagine how much of a pain it is answering these support type questions. So HUGE thanks in advance
Please follow this:
Again you will have to create custom field with key link in your portfolio posts.
pasted new code… unfortunately portfolio posts dont have space for custom imputs
I have completely forgotten about this…then you can leave the old code but without the "rel" attribute like this:
<a href="<?php echo($preview); ?>" class="single_image<?php echo($class); ?>">
and insert the link in the Preview Image/Video section of the post.
okies link now works but thumnail of image is not showing see dorrington http://www.inlayz.net/?page_id=9
This is because you are using automatic thumbnail generation and it tries to generate a smaller thumbnail image from the preview image, which in our case is a link. You will have to disable the automatic thumbnail generation and insert the thumbnail image URLs in the Thumbnail field rather than in the Preview field.
Can you tell me if it's possible to have a full-width home page with slider? Can I also have a 3 column layout if this is possible? I only see shortcodes for 2 columns though…thanks!
I have a couple of (hopefully small issues).
Firstly, the latest posts loader widget has stopped working. It did load test posts when I was first getting the site content together, but now nothing is showing up. I don't know why, as I haven't changed anything outside of the WP content management area. You can see the site here: http://www.mikeskidmoreonline.com
Secondly, I have several galleries set up. Clicking ALL above the thumbnails doesn't work. Do you have ideas here? Within the WP settings area, I changed the permalinks to Custom Structure : / postname / Perhaps I need to change something in portfoliopage.php here?
<?php echo_option('perception_all_text');?>
You can see the the ALL button here: http://www.mikeskidmoreonline.com/gallery/portraits-in-oils/
Hope that makes sense and you can help. Thanks.
Regarding the "Latest Posts Loader" widget- are you sure you have set it right? For example you have set the post number and categories to exclude correctly? If so, you can try to remove it from the sidebar and insert it again.
Regarding the "ALL" link- actually as I can see it works fine. When you click on it, it displays all the portfolio posts from this page and this is what it is supposed to do.
Thank you for making me re-check. I had left the exclude category empty, so I put in none, and it works correctly again. I must have had that in before (as it worked previously) and deleted it without thinking. It's all back on track now.
You might need to clarify what the ALL button is supposed to do though, because I don't think it does work. If you look at: http://www.mikeskidmoreonline.com/gallery/portraits-in-oils/ There are 10 images in this category split over 2 pages…. 9 on page 1, and 1 on page 2. When clicking ALL I would expect to see all 10 on page 1, but the page reloads exactly the same with 9 on page 1, and 1 on page 2 (if that makes sense).
Perhaps I am thinking the ALL button does something differently to what it does actually do?!?
Thanks again for your quick responses to all of the questions in this comments section – really great support.
Good to know that the widget is fine now
Regarding the ALL text- I think you have misunderstood its functionality- when you have your posts separated into categories and you have all the categories listed to the right of the ALL text and when you click on a category name only the posts from this category are shown. After that when you click back to the ALL button, all the posts from all the categories are shown. By default, when the page is first loaded all the posts are shown and this is why the ALL text is underlined to point that these are actually all the posts. You can have a look at my demo and see how it works.
Ahhh – that totally makes sense now, thanks.
What I can't work out, is where the settings are for getting the categories to show up in a row next to ALL like your demo shows. Instead, I have created 5 portfolio pages, each showing a different category. I didn't know we could organise the portfolio like your demo. In effect we've got a load of extra pages where could have put all items into one page and navigated using the filtering subnav like your demo.
If you could guide me on the settings for this, that would be great. This isn't an urgent request, so whenever you've got time will be great.
Thanks again for the support.
Just a quick update to my last comment – I re-read the documentation about showing the subcategories next to ALL . I do have this custom field set to show, so it must be something to do with how the categories are set up. Please can you clarify the category and/or page structure I need to have set up in order for the categories to show up.
You need just one page (not multiple pages). After that you have to create one parent category (lets call it Portfolio) and in that page in the section Post Category you have to select this Portfolio category. After that you have to create subcategories of this Portfolio category and assign your portfolio posts to these subcategories. All the subcategories of the Portfolio category (that have at least one post assigned to them) will be displayed on the page (to the right of the ALL text). I hope it makes sense now
Hey guys,
A new update of Perception is now available- it includes a widgetized footer and some code improvements. For more information, please refer to the Updates section of the latest version of the documentation.
Great theme!! One question, is there a way to add lightbox to a featured image or an image inside a post?
I'm glad you like it
It is easy to add a lightbox preview to an image inside a post. When creating/editing your posts/pages you have to click on the HTML tab and there insert this code:

On the place of the big_image_url and small_image_url you have to insert the full paths to your big and small images.
Perfect, thank you!! One more question, where do I turn off the Published Status info? I don't want the name/date/#of comments on my portfolio post pages…
Regarding my last question, the images posted in a portfolio page show up unattached so when I click on a tag inside a portfolio page it shows up blank. Is their a way to click a tag inside a portfolio page so it displays all of the portfolio categories? I hope that makes sense? Other than that this theme is incredible and very well documented!!!!
Regarding removing the "name/date/#of comments" part from your portfolio posts- you just have to exclude the portfolio categories from the blog categories (in the Perception Options page).
Regarding your other question- I don't think I could understand what exactly you need. Can you please provide a link to that page and a more detailed example of what you need?
Thank you for all of your support, you answered all of my questions! You should change the name of this theme to perfection! This is by far the best WP theme I've ever used. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next…
Thank you for the nice words! I'm glad you appreciate my work
I also loved this theme, but I am a kind of struggling a litle to make my 3d slider to work. Actually I have not been able to upload any images from inside the theme panel. Would you have a solution for my problem? I am using the 3.0 wp version.
If you are not able to upload images, then I think the problem is not related with the theme, but WordPress itself. There is a possibility that a plugin causes this, so you can try first to disable all the plugins and see if this will work. If it still doesn't you can send me some login details via a private message, so I can have a look.
I''m only having one problem. I get a No posts available when I view all posts within a Portfolio Page (eg. Sep, 03 2010 | Portfolio, CLICK HERE | My Name | No comments) On the original blog posts everything is fine but when I click on a category within the Portfolio posts I get – No posts available. Any idea why I get this message?
This is happening because your portfolio posts are not normal posts, but ones created in the Portfolio section (not in the Posts one). These posts are not designed to be displayed as blog posts but displayed as portfolio items in the portfolio page. So when you click on that category, the archives page is opened and it looks only for blog posts, not for portfolio items. If you want to have portfolio posts in the blog section, then you will have to create them as normal posts. Otherwise filtering portfolio posts by category is accomplished by one of the Portfolio page templates where you have a category filter above the items.
Hello there!
Very nice theme, I just bought it. I'd like to use Polish characters and I don't know where can I disable Cufon. Could you please help me with that? Or is there any similar sans serif font package with Polish glyphs (Latin extended) you can send me to replace?
Polish glyphs: http://polish.typeit.org/
Best, Jack.
I'm glad you like the theme
You can disable the Cufon in the script/script.js file- the lines that you have to delete start just after the comment "//CUFON FONT REPLACEMENT ".
Hello again!
Thanx for advice. How can I link the icons in the icons section below header? I'd like to link 3 icons to different sites on website.
Please try this:
