iPhone 5 launch: More than 1,000 people needlessly block London's Regent Street
Summary: Another iLaunch, another queue. For my sins, I was sent down there to check out what all the fuss was about and why exactly people had been waiting there for more than a week. Ultimately, I'm not sure I got an answer.
7 of 8Image
Spare a minute for the poor folks from survey service 63336, who had the job of interviewing everyone in the queue about a range of issues. That's asking the same questions 1,297 times to 1,297 people, a mere few of whom can be seen above.
According to their survey, 67 percent of people in the queue on the day would rather have Google Maps back in iOS 6 rather than Apple's own attempt.
Perplexingly, a whole bunch of these people seemed to be doing it for the 'experience', as the Three store (and Orange, two doors down) had around four people waiting for the iPhone 5 to go on sale.
At the Three store, buyers got to sit down and wait in comfort inside. One of the sales reps told me they had stock to sell to people who hadn't reserved the phone, but that they expected to sell out on Friday.
Perhaps it was the incredibly long walk (472 feet) from the Apple Store to either of these other retailers that put those in the Regent Street queue off.
Naturally, if you spend a few days sitting around, you might get a little bored — see how these iPhone 5 launch day queuers passed the time with a pack of cards.
Overall, my experience of the queue from the outside — I confess, without the excitement of getting a new iPhone 5 — seemed a little like self-imposed kettling that demanded a £529 (minimum) release fee. Clamping, but without the car.

What does it mean when a guy says YOU should call HIM!?!
He told me I should call HIM sometime, because he won't!OMGThat, to me sounded really rude! But I asked him why he won't call me, and he said (he's kinda 'depressed and frustrated and doesn't really want to do anything at all' type of person) that everybody hates him and think he's boring and that all he wants to do is sleep for the rest of his life...but I should call him...nonetheless... WTFWHAT is that supposed to mean?!?!?!?!?!?!?PLEASE give me some answers, when he won't!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
What Guys Said 2
How often did you call him before?
I called him one time and he called me 2. But I texted him more often than he texted me....I think he kinda doesn't care if I call him or not....because if he did he couldn't wait to see me again and this way he's just....melancholically phlegmatic! (It's not as if he bent over backwards to call me and I didn't reciprocate!!!)What do you think is his deal?
Well, it might be that he feels better when you contact him. Like, he feels wanted? If he's depressed, having someone call him might make him feel really good. If you enjoy talking with him, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't contact him more.
HmmmmThat's what I thought...but the way he said it..'You should call me, because I won't (call you).' sounded so brutal and without feeling....I know he likes me since we kissed before and he wouldn't let me go for 2 hours on the dance floor...but we were tipsy so I don't really know if that counts...Either way, if he really cared about seeing me again he would have ad least made that clear. And I've developed too much pride to ever call him again. :(

In a move that seems almost too petty to believe, it has now been confirmed that the official WWE account on Twitter is no longer following CM Punk after he walked out before Monday Night Raw this week. The decision could have been made by someone in the marketing or technology department as opposed to Vince McMahon or Triple H.
WWE has been pushing the wrestlers to use Twitter more often, especially on weekends, in order to get the fans talking more about the performers and company. The belief is that management has noticed how much of a buzz Ryback has been able to create through the social media website.
During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
Kendall Skye is a huge fan of the Denver Broncos, and the WWE developmental wrestler even took the journey to New Jersey to watch her favorite NFL team play in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they were soundly dominated and defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, though.

I've been using these for years. They're really expensive in the UK - £35 a pot! I don't reckon them for dieting (for that you have to change your relationship with food), but for extra energy they are brilliant. I go dancing a few night a week and when I feel I'm flagging I take one of these. Basically they're legal speed.
Diet Pep helps me get going for my morning workout!

I get up at 3:30 to exercise and it ain't easy! I don't think I could do it without a little kick in the butt. I have been working out consistently for 6 months and with healthy eating, lost 40 pounds. I have fought this weight for 8 years and I will never go back.
good stuff!

Nothing is a "quick fix" for losing weight. However, this product really curbed my appetite and kept me from feeling hungry longer than without the product. I work out all of the time. I try to get 10,000 steps in a day, I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill and/or lift weights. I am at the gym anywhere from 30 minutes all the way up to an hour and a half, 5 times a week. This product helped me get over the "hump" and gave me that extra boost that I needed. If you are looking for a product that will "help" you, this is it. If you are looking for that "quick fix, do it all for me" type product...well then this is NOT the product you want. I will continue to take this product. For me, it's a Winner!

Sunday, November 6, 2011
Kenneth Atkinson felt the Saturday morning and Saturday night quakes, but he never imagined his backyard roof falling to the ground.
"The wind and the earthquake had played a big factor in all this going on here. I haven't really checked anything back there 'cause I'm kind of nervous and scared to go back there some more," said Atkinson.
Cracks on the concrete are just some of the damage that people, nearly 180 miles away from the quakes epicenter, woke up to this morning.
Our sister station KOCO in Oklahoma city said they had seen damage like smashed glasses and a chimney that fell through the roof.
Officials with the U.S. Geological Survey said it was unusual to have both the 4.7 and 5.6 magnitude earthquakes, at 2:12 a.m. and 10:53 p.m., respectively, near Oklahoma City.
"Normal to have a lot of aftershocks, after a big quake. What is kind of unusual is that after the 4.7, it turns out that was a foreshock for this magnitude 5.6," said Paul Caruso, geophysicist for the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.
People back in Wichita were surprised to have another sign of mother nature present in the Midwest.
"I thought we had our hands full enough with tornadoes so now we have just another activity of mother nature to look out for. I'm just hoping we don't get anything stronger," said Melissa Haddad, experienced the Saturday night quake.
Some people liked experiencing an earthquake but said they would rather not see it again.
"Having an earthquake here is history but it's still kind of nerve-raking because if you've never been in a situation like that, you just hope for the best," said Atkinson.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (GoThunderWolves.com - Apr. 8, 2014) - After making what was easily his longest relief outing of his career while helping the Pack claim a hard-fought 9-8 extra-inning win over 13th-ranked and conference-leading Colorado Mesa University on Sunday, Colorado State University-Pueblo senior pitcher Dillon Given (Salinas, Calif.) has been named as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's Pitcher of the Week.
The announcement was made Tuesday and comes after Given threw 7 2/3 innings of 2-run ball in Sunday's 11-inning victory. Entering in the fourth inning, Given helped the Pack stay in and eventually win the game as he recorded a career-high six strikeouts without walking anyone while posting a 2.35 ERA for the day and earning the pitching win, his first of the season.
The stint was just his sixth appearance of the season but easily surpassed his former career-long relief effort of three innings.
The ThunderWolves split the weekend series with the Mavericks, claiming both of their wins in walk-off fashion in the extra innings.
Given is the third Pack pitcher this season to earn the conference's weekly honor joining Lonny Schoon (Sr., Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Jesse Bristow (Jr., Heber, Utah), who picked up the accolades on Feb. 11 and Mar. 25, respectively.
The ThunderWolves, who are 17-16 overall and 13-9 in RMAC play are on the road this weekend playing at 4-game set at Colorado Mines, scheduled to start at 6 p.m. on Friday evening.

The singNshock alarm clock shocks you from your slumber
Alarm clocks are a necessary technological evil for most of us, but the snooze button is an all too easy fallback for those unable to resist just a bit longer out under the covers. The singNshock is a concept that provides a slightly shocking answer to this problem. Read More
There is something special about everyday items that manage to bridge the gap between art and practicality. Even after the owners of such pieces get used to the visual appeal, they're still left with something useful. Would-be objets d'art like the Cloud House and the Eliminator table lamp fall into this category, and now we have a clock to add to the mix. A Clock Clock, in fact. Read More
Who needs a second hand anyway?
As someone of a certain age, as a young child I was taught how to read the time using an analogue dial on a clock or watch. I suspect things are a little different now, with kids more used to digital displays on computers and smartphones. But I have some not-so-fond memories of trying to grasp the concept of the minute and second hands on an analogue display. How different my childhood could have been had someone, somewhere designed a watch with one hand rather than two. Read More
Tourists looking for a unique hotel experience in Belgium may want to seek out the Hotel Gent, a new project from Tazu Rous. As part of an art experience planned for the city, the Japanese artist designed and constructed a fully-furnished hotel room around the historic Ghent Sint-Pieters train station. But this isn't just an old building that's been renovated into a hotel. Hotel Gent has only one room, and guests will be sharing it with the giant clock at the top of the station's tower. Read More

Super accurate nuclear clock proposed
The NIST-F1 atomic clock that currently serves as primary time and frequency standard for the U.S. is expected to neither gain nor lose a second in more than 100 million years. That might sound pretty accurate, but a proposed nuclear clock could make it look like a cheap digital wristwatch. It is claimed that the proposed clock would neither gain nor lose 1/20th of a second in 14 billion years. To put that in context, that's the estimated age of the universe. Read More
Alpha Clock Five features a hackable LED display

Its 2.3 inch 18-segment alphanumeric characters are each illuminated by 54 LEDs, providing a bold, bright answer to that most burning of questions: what's the time? Read More
When we hear about things being built to last, we usually think in terms of years or decades ... or maybe, centuries. But millennia? Well yes, if you're talking about the 10,000 Year Clock. As its name implies, the 200 foot (61 meter)-tall timepiece is intended to run for 10,000 years, in a remote cave in West Texas. The clock's "century hand" will advance one space every 100 years, although individuals who make the trek to the cave will be able to hear it chime once a day.

Atomic clocks are one of those things that most of us have probably always thought of as being big, ultra-expensive, and therefore only obtainable by well-funded research institutes. While that may have been the case at one time, a team of researchers have recently developed an atomic clock that they say is one one-hundredth the size – and that uses one one-hundredth the power – of previous commercially-available products. It's called the Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC), and it can be yours for about US$1,500 ... a little more than what you might pay for a regular clock, but not bad for one that varies by less than a millionth of a second per day.

To many people, it seems almost inconceivable that you can sleep through the aural brutality of an alarm clock, yet a small percentage of us can indeed, mask out all but the loudest of sounds without batting an eyelid. For those people, there is now "The Skull", a Sonic Boom alarm clock on steroids that pumps out 113 db of sound, flashes bright red light from its eye sockets, and strobes bright orange from a strip of flashing lights on the front. If that's not enough to rouse you, the skull comes with the company's "Bone Crusher" bed shaker attachment to shake you back into your body. Read More

Tonight! Williamsport PA to Toronto ON Canada
- m
- MatthewDavid Dec 2, 2008 07:08 AM
Hiya Hounds!
I am leaving tonight to drive to Toronto. I will probably leave at 1am to get there by 7am or so. Then I drive back first thing Wednesday morning, to get back Wednesday afternoon.
Any suggestions? Tonight I would probably be looking for something open 24/7, or at least really late. Coming back could be anything. I enjoy pretty much all genres, but prefer something not too far off my route. Probably prefer something I can take out, but if it is terrific, I will sit and dine. =) [I will post to PA and Tri-State boards as well.]
THE ROUTE (by Mapquest)
4: Merge onto US-15 N via EXIT 29 toward MANSFIELD. 56.5 mi
5: Keep RIGHT at the fork to continue on US-15 N (Crossing into NEW YORK). 17.3 mi
6: Merge onto NY-15 N via the exit on the LEFT toward JAMESTOWN/ROCHESTER. 40.0 mi
7: Merge onto I-390 N. 16.6 mi
8: Take the RT-36 exit, EXIT 6, toward MT MORRIS/LETCHWORTH PARK. 0.2 mi
9: Turn LEFT onto NY-36/SONYEA RD. Continue to follow NY-36. 8.8 mi
10: Turn RIGHT onto YORK RD/NY-36. Continue to follow NY-36. 4.1 mi
11: Turn LEFT onto GENESEE ST/NY-63. Continue to follow NY-63. 19.6 mi
12: Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto NY-33/NY-5/MAIN ST/NY-63. 0.3 mi

15: Merge onto I-290 W/YOUNGMANN EXPY via EXIT 50 toward NIAGARA FALLS. 9.8 mi
16: Merge onto I-190 N toward NIAGARA FALLS (Portions toll) (Crossing into *CANADA* ONTARIO). 15.2 mi

19: Merge onto QEW toward TORONTO. 63.1 mi
20: Keep LEFT to take GARDINER EXPY E toward GARDINER EXPWY./TORONTO. 8.4 mi
Depending on whereabouts you'll be in the city, at some point you might consider picking up poutine at Smoke's (Adelaide & University area) or a smoked meat sandwich at Caplansky's, which also has poutine (Clinton & College, Little Italy).
(maps at placelinks)
356 College Street, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
218 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5H, CA
if you bring a 12 pack of Rolling Rock Beer I will treat you to a sandwhich at Caplansky's..with fries of course..and the slaw...and a pickle..you get the picture...
I guess the first thing you might want is breakfast with a strong coffee. www.thesenator.com
re: torontofoodiegirl
Yeah, I was trying to figure that out too, until I gave up!
re: JamieK
Oops sorry folks! Looks like I am actually leaving tonight at 3am, instead of 1am.
But to clear up the above confusion, I will be coming back Thursday morning, not Wed. My bad...
You'll be able to find a hearty breakfast or snack at the St Lawrence Market, which opens at 8 tomorrow morning - crepes or peameal sandwich, sausuges, etc -
Just get off the Gardiner at the Jarvis St exit, go north, parking lots are almost immediately on your left.
St. Lawrence Market
92 Front St E, Toronto, ON M5E, CA
re: JamieK
Good idea. I also agree with JamieK that you might want to check out Smokes for poutine, a (French) Canadian specialty. It's new and has generally been getting a positive response (I haven't been yet myself):
You might also consider either Jamie Kennedy's Gilead Cafe (a bit east of the downtown core) or JK's new cafe (forget the name), right next to his wine bar on Church St. (south of Front).
Ah, you've got a world of wonderful food awaiting you. What do you want to eat? Seriously, you could eat around the world in one city. Drinks, too?
re: JamieK
Sorry for not posting sooner!
I am afraid I did not get to try any of your suggestions. I ended up working until 3.30am, and did not hit the road until 4am. At that point I was so tired (not having slept in 21 hours), I ended up pulling over 3 times to sleep, so I could not stop anywhere on the way. I will be sure to keep this post so as to try Caplansky's and a few others.
When I got there, my friends who I was staying with treated me to Cantonese dim sum at Rol San (323 Spadina Avenue). I tried squid for the first time, which was good though the sauce was too buttery. Also the usual fare, dumplings, sticky rice, pork buns, and tofu, all above average.
Then they took me on a walking tour of the financial district and the University. We wound up at ROM, which I enjoyed for about 2 hours. I especially liked the Ancient Egypt hall, though the Shanghai photos were also good. On the way out I grabbed a "museum brand" chocolate bar...turns out it was made in NJ and very mediocre (www.astorchocolate.com).
Dinner was pasta at their house and then I was off to the event for which I came: Neil Diamond at the Air Canada Center. [Insert your chuckle here.] I am the only guy I know in his early 30's who loves Neil; but for you doubters know that while his albums are now easy listening, his concerts are still rock'n'roll. =)
After the concert I grabbed a polish from one of the stands near union station, hot off the grill and tasty. Then it was back to old china town for midnight snack. I stopped at King's Noodle Restaurant (296 Spadina Ave.). There I had shrimp dumplings (very good) and Rice Flour Roll with BBQ Pork (decent).
The next morning I grabbed a muffin from Harbord Bakery (115 Harbord Street) which was pretty good.
Then I left and drove to Rochester NY, where I stopped at Dinosaur BBQ (http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/roches...). There I had their Tres Hombre (ribs, brisket and pork). All were solidly good as were the various sauces. The only thing sub-par was the key lime pie, which I would not have gotten, except they make it fresh there.
All in all a good trip---I only wish I had made more time to visit! Thank you very much for your posts, and I hope to branch out more next time!

The encryption factor
When bankers and spies begin to worry about advances in computing, the rest of us would do well to take notice. What makes them edgy are the advances being made in "quantum computing", which is, as might be expected from the name, as entangled and confusing a field to understand as the branch of physics on which it is based - quantum mechanics.
But a banker doesn't need to be able to understand quantum physics to know that a computer capable of breaking any of the world's encryption codes as soon as it is turned on could mean serious problems for the bank's financial system.

Comprehensive Chowish Craft Cocktail Compendium '09
- finlero Jan 15, 2009 07:57 AM
The holidays are over, the economy is in the toilet, the weather outside is frightful…seems like a good time to get serious about heavy drinking.
I have a list of places I feel I can rely on for great cocktail craft, but I thought it might be interesting to put together a comprehensive list of our favorite spots around town for serious cocktails, what we like, what we don't like...
A few examples on my side of the river:
-- Green Street --
Pluses: great vibe, going there always makes me feel in-the-know, solid upscale comfort food that never seems pretentious.
Minuses: the food falls just short of greatness, so I'm always a little bummed I didn't go to Baraka Cafe for dinner before grabbing drinks.
Favorite drinks: pisco sour (with frothed egg white!), aviation, Toronto.
-- Chez Henri --
Pluses: stellar bar menu, especially the Cuban sandwiches.
Minuses: the non-Cuban cocktails have generally underwhelmed me, the bar area is pretty tiny so it can get crowded and deafening.
Favorite drinks: mojito, periodista.
How about YOU?
Hey, I like drinking, I like you. Why not!
Highland Kitchen is doing some very good cocktailery. Not up to the Green Street standards, but very good for a neighborhood spot. They do a nice winter warmer, and can also do interesting non-alcoholic drinks which is good to know.
Gargoyles (Paul and Maureen) also do some very good drinks. Maureen's sangria is great, and there is an infused bourbon that one of my houndly friends likes a great deal.
re: yumyum
Hey, I like you too.
> Gargoyles (Paul and Maureen)
Bad things if others are tending the bar?
re: finlero
I've never seen anyone else tending there. Just wanted to appear cool by knowing the names of the barkeeps there. Drat.
re: yumyum
Got an eggnog martini-style drink (made by Paul, I now know...) at Gargoyles a few weeks ago-- wow- delicious and deadly. Thank goodness we walked home. I also really like the fig martini that's on the bar menu right now- the house cured fig in vodka at the bottom of the glass is delicious.
re: Parsnipity
YEAH !!!! They do dabble in infusions and figs are one of my faves, so I guess I know where I'm having my next martini. Thanks for the heads-up Parsnipity.
re: yumyum
you can do a taste-off with the Figgin' Delicious cocktail at Radius
re: Parsnipity
Ooh, I've gotta get over and try that fig martini.
re: yumyum
Infused bourbon. It's been so long. But, that fig vodka sounds intriguing as well.
re: yumyum
I heard a rumor that Joe McGirk is behind the bar at Highland Kitchen -- true?
re: tallullah
The famous (and possibly infamous) Joe McGirk is behind the bar at times. He is actually the bar manager and can been seen working the floor as well. Claudia, formerly of East Coast Grill, is also often behind the bar and serves a tasty drink, but you can't beat having Joe wait on you.
re: lovinlinecook
Putting this disclaimer up front: I've only been to Highland Kitchen once.
But this one time Claudia was behind the bar and my first drink, the take on a dark and stormy/moscow mule with Maker's and the chili-infused ginger beer was overwhelmed by the ginger beer. My second drink, a basic rye Manhattan, was just disappointing. Every Manhattan I've ordered at Silvertone exceeded this drink, no matter the bartender working. My DC found her drink, which was supposed to have fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, disappointing as the juice was obviously not fresh.
Since I don't live in the neighborhood, I certainly would not recommend a trip to Highland in terms of cocktails. The food, however, was very good and I'm happy for those who can call it their local in that regard.
re: Canadian Tuxedo
You must like your drinks sweet, as I have found Silvertone's cocktails are made on the sweet side. (That's why I stick to their excellent wine list now.) I preferred my Manhattan exactly as it was made at Highland Kitchen.
re: Alcachofa
Depends on what you mean by "sweet." I do like more than a rinse of vermouth in my Manhattans, and prefer wet to dry martinis. I do not like sweet, as in sugary, cocktails.
But really, online it is very hard to discern what each of us like in terms of cocktails. In forming my own opinion, I'd just like to make clear that I've been to Silvertone more times than I can count and as a baseline they are skilled and consistent in the standards. I've only been to Highland Kitchen once, and did not like what was made that night. It could have been an off night, or it could have been a difference in preferences of style. But I've been drinking Manhattans all over this town (and many others) and at home for more than a decade, so I know what I like and what is considered classic/standard.
All that said, if I lived in that neighborhood I'd be thrilled with Highland Kitchen. I just won't travel there specifically for cocktails (as I don't have a car). I am lucky to have Hungry Mother, Craigie, and (hopefully) whatever replaces the B-Side within walking distance so I have many neighborhood options.
re: lovinlinecook
Not quite mixed-cocktailness, but I am adoring the del Maguey mezcals at Highland Kitchen. The crema is like drinking an english saddle.
ObMixed: also HK's sazerac.
re: bostonbroad
Ditto on the HM No. 43! I have made my own at home and it was equally delicious.
re: hsquare2southend
Oh! What were the proportions you used? And what kind of bitters? I want to try my hand at making this in the very near future.
re: noradeirdre
I'll see if my husband will give up his recipe. He tinkered for awhile but finally got it down.
re: bostonbroad
Oh, thank you!
From the Boston side of the river:
Drink: the apotheosis of the high-craft cocktail trend, our one national-level old-school cocktail specialty bar, with the most talented crew in town, a setup that emphasizes the craft aspect of the operation, hand-carved Kold-Draft ice, house-made bitters (make that house-made lots-of-things), vintage barware and glassware, the greatest emphasis on and skill with punches. Drawbacks: a little off the track, a nibbles menu that gets less interesting with every iteration, a douchey after-work crowd.
Bar at No. 9 Park. Used to be the best, now second only to Drink, even with a less-experienced team in place (quality hasn't slipped in my view). Downsides: not enough room for these folks to stretch out or hand-carve ice for drinks, cramped seating, very expensive food menu (worse since they eliminated the cafe menu last year), truly painful gin-blossomed old-money Beacon Hill regulars.
Eastern Standard. Very close to No. 9 in terms of craft, seriousness, scholarly approach, plus a mostly interesting and more affordable food menu to go with. Downside: fuzzy descriptions on the cocktail menu that not all servers are capable of coloring in; baseball fans in season.
Toro. Uninteresting till they hired Courtney from No. 9, but suddenly it's the best place for cocktails in the South End. Not quite at the level of the other three, but a vast improvement, and the best food to go with your drinking of the bunch. Downside: usually too crowded to be comfortable; you have to pick your times carefully to avoid a cramped, uncomfortable wait.
Honorable mentions: Deep Ellum, The Alchemist, Marliave.
On the Cambridge side, I think finlero captured my feelings about Green Street, still the best in Cambridge in my view, and the only one at the level of the top 3 above.
One not yet covered:
Craigie on Main. Many of the virtues of ESK, plus some useful new touches (house-made Antica Formula knockoff). Downsides: expensive food, cramped seating, very slow service. Very promising.
re: MC Slim JB
a douchey after-work crowd.......still laughing..........
re: T.Clark
I aspire to join that douchey crowd...tomorrow night...
re: T.Clark
at what?
re: MC Slim JB
MC Slim JB,
Can I ask exactly what Kold- Draft ice is? I have not made it to Drink yet and am dont know what Kold Draft ice is ( sorry if this is a silly question). thx
re: cassoulady
That's kind of lazy shorthand on my part. What they do with ice at Drink goes well beyond their use of a particular, coveted brand of ice machine, though the fact that Kold-Draft cubes are bigger (1.25" a side) than the standard bar cocktail ice is one advantage. The machines also turn out perfectly cubical, bubble free ice that tastes cleaner and looks clearer and more beautiful.
As important is how the staff hacks, picks, crushes, pulverizes, and shaves ice into many forms from giant blocks (think neighborhood iceman sized). Producing cubes or spheres or irregular lumps or snow-cone-like shaved ice not only yields lovely aesthetic effects, but gives the bartenders more precise control over ice melt rate and hence dilution. I got an Old-Fashioned-like drink the other night with a handcarved 2" cube in it that melted very slowly. I watched a bigger lump carved for use in a small punchbowl. Order a mist there and it will, I expect, be made with hand-shaved ice. It's just one more refinement in the cocktail-making process, and they're the only ones in town doing it at that level.
re: MC Slim JB
ok, you have convinced me, I am headed there this weekend!
re: MC Slim JB
Marliave says it uses a Kold Draft machine as well?
re: MC Slim JB
"...gin-blossomed old-money Beacon Hill regulars." Point to one word in that description that's anything but delightful. Now, if they were douchey.... Haven't been to Drink, but No. 9 still sits at the top of the heap for me. I love their un-pink strawberry daiquiri and their Sloe Jack. I'd never order an exorbitant three-course meal there, but a couple of cocktails, a cheese plate and maybe dessert, coupled with the great service and elegant, warm and fuzzy ambiance are enough to fill me up. Also, cocktails there followed by a short walk and dinner at the cocktail-less Grotto packs a nice one-two punch. I like ES and Green St., but I don't think they compare to No. 9. The B-Side did. (Snuffles.)
re: pollystyrene
Speaking of the B-Side, a new bar might make it into that space after all:
"the bar will continue to have a fantastic cocktail list. i will also try to add a world class beer list. look for 40 taps, a bunch of bottles, and a consistent beer engine. there will also be a sick wine list.
we will serve great food at reasonable prices."
It will be great if he can deliver all that.
re: nfo
Great news, if it all comes together as planned. This was the original outcome I had expected but thought had unraveled for some reason. The guy behind the Moan and Dove and The Dirty Truth will almost certainly turn the B-Side into one of Boston's best beer bars. I love the notion that he will also retain some focus on classic cocktails there. I'll be following this story closely.
re: MC Slim JB
The scuttlebutt that i've heard was that the new owner would have to assume various financial responsibilities of the B-side. I've heard a few different versions of this story though, so it seems the telephone game is in effect here (if it was even true to begin with)
re: MC Slim JB
Who else besides me "hearts" MC Slim JB.
"A douchey after-work crowd" at Drink. Lordy, lord. Seriously, MC, I read that the cocktails at Drink somehow magically appear in front of you but not having been, cannot confirm or deny. If true, that somehow ruins the whole ceremonial aspect of getting my perfect manhattan.
re: Patricia
Drinks don't magically appear at Drink: quite the contrary! Half the fun is watching your cocktail painstakingly assembled.
That bit of snark about Drink's after-work crowd is based on a small sample; I usually go a bit after that crush has dissipated. I just felt a bit too much of that there-for-the-scene-not-the-drinks vibe on a couple of visits, which bugs me a little at a place like that.
But it's all good: they will need crowds to sustain the place, and I'm hopeful that today's It Place follower will become tomorrow's real-cocktail fan, and support other serious-minded cocktail bars.
re: MC Slim JB
My gf works right around the corner and has complained about the post-work mob scene. OTOH it sounds like a lot of those folks get annoyed at how long the drinks take to make, how crowded it is, etc and are losing interest (e.g. they can go the other way over to luckys and get their grey goose cosmo w/o the hassle)
re: MC Slim JB
I definitely recommend trying to go during off peak (especially for your first time to really get the full treatment). Sunday at 6:00 was about 1/2 full and we got a lot of bartender attention. Saturday at 7:00, very good, but less interesting drinks. (also noticed we didn't get vintage highball glasses -- wonder if they are getting broken or stolen. Still saw other vintage styles there, just not our drinks)
re: MC Slim JB
MC's just tellin' it like it is. It IS a douchey crowd. I accidentally came across it a number of times before figuring out how to best avoid it.
re: Patricia
MC SLIM nut scrubbin' aside, half the fun of Drink is watching them craft the cocktails. I watched with interest as the bartender brought out a sand hourglass, flipped it in front of us and shook both my and my friends drinks simultaniously until the sand rand down. This was for drinks that were made with whole eggs and I guess a good shaking is in order but I wasn't aware that the lenght of time was necessary until i saw it with my own eyes.
I was there on a Thursday night at 5:15 and the place was all but empty. We stayed until about 8:30 and even then it wasn't too crowded. The crowds started pouring in with the yuppie Gap hipsters around 7:30 ish
re: cannedmilkandfruitypebbles
> yuppie Gap hipsters
I don't even know how to begin to parse this, but it made me smile.
re: finlero
Yuppie Gap hipsters and douchey after workers and sanctimonious hounds, oh my!
I must say though, it is more enjoyable on the off times.
re: sailormouth
Just remember the gin-blossomed old-money Beacon Hillers made it all possible.
re: Alcachofa
No question, and for that, I am grateful. I just don't like striking up conversations with them.
re: MC Slim JB
On a side note, I was at No. 9 the other night for an amazing drink and was told by one of the bartenders there that the cafe menu is planning a comeback.
re: jamaicaplain
REALLY? Now we're talking!
A friend and I have a sctoch crawl route that we hit once a year, as follows:
Omni Parker house
Whisky Park
Bristol Lounge
Lock Ober
Omni Parker
Omni Parker- Pros: Warm, relaxing vibe. Scotch Selection, warm nuts Cons: touristy at times
Whisky Park: not a lot to like, really. But it gives the route a good cirlce and we can pick up cigars at Prevetti's on the way.
Excelsior: Pros: nice atmosphere Cons: prices
Bristol Loung: Pros: great coctails, plenty of space to spread out Cons: clientel, prices
Lock Ober: Pros: interesting setting, small bar with a history and complimentary house made potato chips Cons: Small bar, limited selection
And the sorority girl vote goes to...Cuchi Cuchi, in between Central and Kendall Square in Cambridge. Funky 20's vibe, yummy innovative cocktails. Good tapas too, although they swear they are NOT a tapas joint.
Cuchi Cuchi
Boston, MA, Boston, MA
Indeed, I would add Craigie on Main. Don't know the bartenders by name, but early on there was one guy who really knew his craft and was training others. Having been to both Green Street and CoM several times recently, I think they are at the same level for the cocktails I tried, though Green Street does have a huge repertiore. For me it's just a difference of style, one a little buttoned down and the other a little relaxed.
re: bombaybeauty
I'd imagine that the 'one guy' was Tom:
re: bombaybeauty
"Early on"??? It's still pretty early on isn't it?
Not mentioned yet is Rendezvous in Central. Scott Holliday (last seen here in Boston at Chez Henri) heads the bar there.
Independent in Union Square, Somerville, also deserves a nod.
re: MC Slim JB
I recently went to Drink although I was hesitant because I gave up drinking for January (yes the holidays were that rough for me). I mean, one can only drink so many glasses of soda water with cranberry right?
Anyway, the Sam, Misty and John collaborated and made 3 absolutely fantastic non-alcoholic drinks for me using their usual MO: what flavors do you like, hot, cold, etc. The first was a limey-gingery soda water drink. Very refreshing. The second was a "Coffee Fizz" with muddled coffee beans and a thick, fizzy foam on top which required a straw/spoon - a stroon? A spraw? Then finally, a non-alcoholic Tom and Jerry with the official T&J cups from their fabulous collection of glassware. It was so delicious (and rich) it prompted my friends to get the regular version with rum (I think).
I do love the fact that you have a dialogue with the staff about what you want and that they are really interested and care that they make you something you will enjoy. It is definitely more time consuming but I have yet to be disappointed, even without the alcohol.
re: yarm
Since this thread was dusted off, might as well add my updated $0.02 after my Boston visit last week:
* Rendezvous - agree the cocktail craft is top-notch, easily the highlight of my dinner there. The food is good, but overpriced (most entrees in the mid-$20s) for the kind of casual upscale food I could make at home with a little effort, particularly given that unlike many contemporaries around town, they don't have a discreet bar menu. Also important, they close at 10 or 11 each night, so not a good option for late-night carousing.
* Craigie - great cocktails, but maddeningly slow, crowded, pretentious, and full of itself. The bar menu is killer, but I almost can't convey just how off-putting I find the vibe to be.
* Drink - best cocktails I've had in town. Vibe is kind of sterile and un-fun.
Green Street is still the sweet spot for me. The food is a tick down in quality from Rendezvous, and several ticks down from Craigie, but the cocktails are great, the prices are fair, and the vibe is just right.
re: finlero
Assuming from your post that you sat at the bar at Craigie, and that your main interaction was with the bartender, are you saying that you found him/her to be "pretentious and full of (him/her)self"? just trying to figure out your comment about the vibe there...
re: barleywino
I gotta say, I concur with Finlero, the overall vibe at Craigie is a bit precious.
re: StriperGuy
I don't find the atmosphere at Craigie to be particularly precious. At least not any more precious than Cambridge in general. Which, to be fair, is one of the more precious villes on god's green earth.
re: StriperGuy
I've tried to stay away from this topic, but finlero basically just said what I was too hesitant to say publicly.
I once got suckered into waiting outside Craigie at 5:00 like a groupie trying to get backstage. I felt absurd. Sat at the bar and made a meal out of marrow, charcuterie, pig-tails, and a couple of other things. Good stuff. Cocktails also great. But the whole experience was very uncomfortable, and another 10 cocktails wouldn't have put me at ease there. The magic of this place must've just sailed right over my head or perhaps it's on the dining room side of things. Or perhaps this is just not my style of dining.
I'd rather go get my craft cocktails at Striperguy's house anyways. ;)
re: barleywino
I actually don't mind the bartenders at all, especially as compared to the other elements in play here.
I've been several times since the move to Central, and I'm sorry to say Craigie's star has steadily fallen for me with each successive visit. This has nothing to do with the always-stellar food and drink, and everything to do with the vibe, which I find to be deliberately cultivated from chef-owner Tony Maws on down. In my opinion, the breaks with my personal preference are most acute near the kitchen and the bar. Things I've noticed that don't sit right with me:
* Between my own "ringside" (sitting at the kitchen counter) experiences and those I've heard from others, I think it's safe to say one can expect to hear Maws yelling at his staff loudly, rudely, and often obscenely. I'm sure this went on in the old space, but moving it front and center is off-putting to me.
* As a "one-off" of this, the entire staff (especially in the kitchen, but servers and hosts too) always look utterly terrified as they go about their work nights. This totally stresses me out, and I have trouble enjoying myself.
* As compared to other good cocktail spots in Cambridge, the Craigie bar is pretty "sceney", filling up with more beautiful people than you might expect to find in other similar establishments in the area. I have no problem with this per se, but it's not what I'm usually after when I want to grab a drink on that side of the river.
* I've personally seen Tony Maws smirking with his staff about a patron at the bar they considered under-dressed.
This new vibe is entirely Maws' and Craigie's prerogative, and it seems to be working for them, drawing in a shinier new clientele and making them a mint. But as a 10-year Camberville guy, it just isn't for me. At this point, Craigie reminds me of that grade school friend who starts running with the cool kids in high school and won't talk to you anymore. I was fond of their more humble beginnings in the Cragie Street basement; I wish them well in their new incarnation, but don't really have much interest in being a part of it.

Ok, that SRSLY creeps me out. I'm sure they were talking about me. :-(
re: yumyum
Hey, if they haven't heard acid wash is the new black, it's their loss.
re: finlero
Bwahahaha I miss you and your wicked sense of humor. Acid wash rulz!
re: yumyum
That was my thought too :)
re: finlero
My only gripe with Craigie is that you can't claim a barstool if you aren't eating. I disagree that the vibe at Drink is kind of sterile and unfun. I've met great people there and had really fun and interesting conversations with several of the bartenders. I'm getting a little worried that turnover at Green Street may be hurting the cocktail program - then again, I was there last on a Tuesday night, so perhaps I just got the double A team.
re: bostonbroad
"My only gripe with Craigie is that you can't claim a barstool if you aren't eating. "... It *is* annoying but I think that is not uncommon at the really-busy restaurant bars (ESK, Babbo come to mind)
re: barleywino
HA! And it wasn't that long ago that eating at the bar was a rarity. So now, they EXPECT you to eat at the bar! Too funny.
re: Alcachofa
I don't mind that you can't sit at the bar if you aren't eating, but why can't restaurants make the standing room more comfortable. Craigie's bar area is not very pleasant space to stand in if you are waiting for a table or just having a cocktail. Can't you have a dedicated space for the drinking only herd that doesn't interfer with service and other diners? Just saying.
I always liked Cuchi Cuchi for pioneering original cocktails with a lot of fresh herbs and muddled fruits. But I gave up after trying about 10 times in a row to catch a drink there and finding the bar an impenetrable scrum. Too small and popular for its own good, a bit in the same league as Chez Henri in that respect.
re: MC Slim JB
Yes, and there is something strange about the service there. Delay in getting served (at the bar) does not seem to correlate with busyness. I've only been there twice, but had the same impression both time.
definitely love the drinks at Cuchi Cuchi (the setting is a bit on the "girly" side for guys and gals who can handle it.) I had the Joie Vert at Craigie on Main and loved it.
My brother and I enjoyed a good drink at the bar on a Monday night at Summer Shack. Good drink, quiet night.
I miss the bartender from Frasiers though....
My current faves are The Northern Lights at Craigie on Main, and my old standby The Whiskey Smash at Eastern Standard (though I make a mean whiskey smash at home).
re: sophie fox
I was also pleasantly surprised by their strawberry basil martini, but the few other cocktails I've had there were terrible.
In the dead of winter, Le Casa De Pedro in Watertown makes me feel like I am in 80 degree weather with the music and the mojitos. Can't beat that.
re: pollystyrene
All three have distinct bar areas and no tables (if I'm remembering correctly); only Hungry Mother has walls separating the dining room from the bar. None has a separate bar-only menu. Rendezvous' bar is notable for its low profile; it's clearly meant to make bar dining more comfortable, and be more of a diner's bar than a drinker's bar. I find Highland Kitchen is the least comfortable because of standing crowds behind seated patrons (akin to the Franklin South End); that's less of an issue at the other two.
re: MC Slim JB
Hungry Mother does have two high top tables in the bar area that can seat four each. Since the restaurant is usually full, these are usually taken. But they are first come-first serve and aren't included in the reservation system.
re: Canadian Tuxedo
Thanks to both of you for the info. I plan to hit every place on this thread--it's a good one, Finlero--and while I like sitting at bar tables, I don't find the bars themselves very comfy. Also, since drinking will be the main event, it's good to know who does and doesn't offer affordable bar/cafe menus.
re: pollystyrene
"I plan to hit every place on this thread"
Are you sure you're just not experiencing separation anxiey induced by your beloved Chateau's license suspension, pollystyrene? :-)
re: Harp00n
I beg your pardon, Harp, but I've never stepped a dainty foot into the Chat. They'd better get that license back soon, though, because those police reports were my primary source of entertainment.
re: pollystyrene
Hmmm........seems like a classic case of the lady douth protest a bit too loudly bot as you wish your daintyness, ROFL!
Craigie on Main should definitely get a nod. I posted about my delightful meal there the other day but did not discuss the cocktail side too much.
The attention to detail that is essential to a great cocktail is there. Most people will remember bartender Tom from Eastern Standard. He makes many of his own infusions, tinctures, Amer Picon, etc.
Negative side would be the rather cramped bar area. While it is larger than some other spaces mentioned (Hungry Mother's bar is nothing short of a hassle), it is still small.

Have a client in the 2nd trimester and for the past month I have done zero exercises lying on her back or on her stomach, but I see so many women doing bridges and hip thrusts for glute strength. I have a studio so I have no seated hamstring curl machines or anything like that.
Limited somewhat to cable hip extensions, jungle gym hip extensions, standing hamstring curls and a few others. I figure doing hip thrusts off the bench would not apply any direct pressure to the low back/glute area so would that be fine? Her balance and everything has been fine although I haven't really challenged it, I believe a swiss ball hip thrust may be too unstable for her as most of what i read encourages me to take away balance challenging exercises from the routine.

Cat Power Returns: Listen To New Song 'Ruin'
After dropping Twitter hints about a new album in April, indie-rock songstress Cat Power is officially returning in September with a new album. "Sun" will hit stores on Sept. 4 through Matador Records, but the first taste of the album, "Ruin," hit YouTube on Monday (June 18), and is now available to download.
The YouTube clip for "Ruin" features Cat Power turning the word 'Ruin' into an inspired piece of graffiti, while sporting a close-cropped haircut that's a stark change from her previously long-flowing locks. "Ruin" is one of Cat Power's bounciest pop tracks to date, with an underlying snarl reminiscent of "You Are Free" standout "He War."
Cat Power (real name: Chan Marshall) produced the entirety of "Sun," which follows 2006's "The Greatest" and 2008's "Jukebox," the latter of which was a covers album featuring riffs on James Brown, Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan songs. Marshall recorded the new album in a studio she built in Malibu, among other locations.
Here is the track list to "Sun":
1. Cherokee
2. Sun
3. Ruin
4. 3,6,9
5. Always On My Own
6. Real Life
7. Human Being
8. Manhattan
9. Silent Machine
10. Nothin But Time
11. Peace And Love

Working, as we do, with a client inventory that spans suburban bungalows, condominiums, back splits and city centre semis, we've problem solved every decorative issue that bad taste can muster. Here's a quick roundup of pointers that should help make better of any small space, cottage inclined or not.
Naturally a finely appointed Gatsby estate demands an opulent chandelier, but don't worry: in real life, lighting is one area where quantity is almost more important than quality (or at least budget!). The true key to a Great lighting scheme is depth and layers, so including multiple flattering light sources will make you and your space ready for a close-up.
Keep them intact by removing the glue (washing with lukewarm water) from the band after each use and keep their shape by storing them safely. It is recommended to use a ribbon case which will protect the lashes from being crushed. The case has a hard top and will allow the lashes to keep their shape.
Before you go out and get the extensions you should be aware of the maintenance involved. You need to be more careful washing your face. After you get eyelash extensions done for the first 24 hours you cannot get your eyelashes wet, but after that, they can get wet and are great for beach vacations.
I have always felt that it is possible to have the world of luxury and sustainable fashion come together. If these two powerful combinations could meet, I am sure more people would be open to making the change to environmentally friendly trends. Luckily, my dreams are coming true. More and more there are greater options for vegan fashion.
Hallelujah! We can finally reveal our cottage kitchen, whose transformation has been a veritable state secret these last few months. Truth is we wanted to avoid stealing our own thunder and opted, therefore, to throw a veil of secrecy across the mini miracle. Now we're revealing it in these virtual pages.
Oftentimes, it's nice to afford (and be afforded) a little privacy when friends arrive. Sure, we're all for mix and mingle, but personal chill time is welcome too. So come one, come all (overseas pals and family are you reading?) safe in the knowledge we've fashioned, as your holiday haven, an annex to which you can escape when our laughter becomes too raucous or our music too loud.
A bomb shelter as inspiration for our cottage shower room reno? Well, actually, yes; the curious notion was birthed having espied a tin sign perched high above the entrance to a now defunct air raid space in New York. Exploring the city on business, we froze like pillars of salt when confronted by the ancient sign.

Benswann.Com: Cop Asks Child To Send Him "Sexy Pics & Uses Police Database To Collect Private InfoSubmitted by emalvini on Thu, 12/05/2013 - 20:37
Benswann.Com: Cop Asks Child To Send Him "Sexy Pics & Uses Police Database To Collect Private Info
17 hours ago | Politics, US | Posted by Kristin Tate
December 5, 2013
A cop in Illinois was recently caught soliciting "sexy pics" from a 12-year-old.
During the summer of 2012, Woodstock police Sgt. Chip Amati was dating a woman with two daughters, ages 12 and 10. One day the 12-year-old told her mother that Amati gave her a gold necklace that said "Princess."
The mother thought this was odd, so she went to Amati's home to ask him about it. This caused a fight which resulted in the couple breaking up.
The following day, the mother told her daughters to avoid Amati and ignore any contact from the man. This prompted her 12-year-old to come forward with some disturbing text messages previously sent to her from Amati. The first one, sent on August 16, said "Hi beautiful." The subsequent message said, "Feel free to send me a pic anytime ." Then another text, sent three days later, said, "Send me some sexy pics! <3."

Interesting, try googling his name
When I searched Chip Amati, and you click on the pictures of him, the pictures change into something else of say not available. Cover-Up much?
I like the way Snrub thinks!
Really though, it's just cached. He seems to have switched his display picture on Google+, and when you load it up to look at it through Google Images, the thumb from the cache loads in prior to actual retrieval. Some fast shootin' with PrtScr and I was able to snap a cap of that image before the replacement loads in, and you can tell that it's just the thumbnail image blown up in all its bicubic splendor.
What else needs to be revealed about this case, and I am only going off of what I have read, is that this cop had done this. But what I think we need someone like Ben Swann to do is reveal something, if he is interested.
I am wondering if there was a cover up involved in this case and I will tell you why. What was disclosed was that this cop in his 50's, article says 58 years old, was looking to reinlist in the military.
Now that is highly suspect.
Not only that, but the cop arrested here, had an affair with the CPS that was investigating abuse with the gal. That is highly suspect in and of itself.
But let's go back to why would a man in his 50's after being in law enforcement want to reinlist in the military?
Well I wonder if there were superiors willing to look the other way and go this route rather than face the piper. I mean....was this a cover up that eventually led to the charging of this cop? Were they not willing to take the wrap when it all went down?
Or were they looking to sweep this one right under the rug.
This story stinks. It appears that others were helping protect. That reinlistment and what the law enforcement knew needs to be investigated further.
Be Your Own Media!!!
Where do you find pedaphiles?
Anywhere that gives access to kids, without parent interaction.

Sweet Yeast Bread Carolers
Taking note of a treat Michelle recently shared, the CT kitchen crafters built a bit of extra character into it...by shaping her citrusy bread recipe into this pair of country Christmas carolers! The elastic nature of the dough Michelle developed makes it ideal for forming figures, according to our home economist. More importantly, the fresh flavor will temp even the pickiest of palates. That mean
24 Servings
Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 15 min.
2 packages (1/4 ounce
) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon salt
5-1/4 to 5-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
In a bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, shortening, eggs,
sugar, orange juice, orange peel, salt and 3 cups of flour; beat
until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
SHAPING CAROLERS: Punch dough down. Set aside 1 cup; divide remaining

Sweet Yeast Bread Carolers
Directions (continued)
dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a
14- x 5-in. oval body. Shape a head at the top of each oval body
(see Fig. 1). Place bodies on separate greased baking sheets.
Flatten slightly.
Girl caroler: Cut arms and skirt with sharp knife or kitchen scissors
(see Fig. 2a). Form shoes using dough cut from skirt (Fig. 2b.).
Roll six 1/8- x 8-inch strips from reserved dough. Plait three
strips together, forming braid; cut in half. Place one braid on each
side of head for hair.
Use reserved dough to decorate clothing as show in photo and in Fig.
2c, including a stocking cap to place on head, covering tops of
braids. With knife or scissors, cut out eyes, nose, mouth and dress
decorations. Press raisins deep for eyes and buttons.
Boy caroler: Cut arms and legs (see Fig. 3a). Spread arms and legs
apart (Fig. 3b.). To add clothing and details, refer to photo and
Fig. 3c. Place arms in desired positions. Forms shoes by pinching
With small pieces of reserved dough, form a stocking cap and ears;
press onto head. Roll out thin strips of dough and use these to trim
clothing. Roll out two slightly thicker strips and tie together to
form a scarf.
With knife or scissors, make small cuts to form decorations in pants
and sleeves. Cut out eyes, nose and mouth. For eyes and buttons,
press the raisins firmly into dough. Cover and set aside.
Cover both loaves and place in a warm spot to rise until almost
doubled, about 30-45 minutes. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or
until golden brown. Meanwhile, combine spread ingredients and serve
with warm bread. Yield: 2 loaves.
Editor's Note:
Dough can also be made into 1-1/2 dozen knot-shaped rolls and baked at 400° for 10-12 minutes.
Crafter thoughts:
You can easily shape the bread dough into other forms if you like. Try making a pair of bells. Santa and his sack of goodies, etc. For a brighter appearance you can decorate the carolers with your favorite frosting, then add raisins and colored candies as trims.

text: Syrian Civil War 'Breeding Ground' for Islamists Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 4 Dec 2013 post a comment As Western fighters--both American and British--join the ranks against Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war, the growing emphasis on Sharia law and Islamism stands to turn opposition forces into "a new breed of terrorists." According to The Telegraph, the ideology espoused by groups fighting against Assad--groups like the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria--shows that the ultimate aim of many of the rebel fighters is to "turn Syria into an Islamist republic ruled on the basis of sharia." In towns like Raqqa where Islamists hold sway, the implementation of Islamism is already evident. There, "inhabitants claim they have suffered severe beatings for committing minor transgressions," women are "banned from visiting male doctors," and "captured pro-Assad fighters" are "regularly beheaded in public." On December 1st, Breitbart News reported that American fighters in the anti-Assad forces could pose a security risk for the United States upon their return. With the growing Islamist domination of the anti-Assad forces, Britain is now worried about how returning fighters might harm their security as well. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins.

Gary Barlow is having to multi-task for his new role on The X Factor - by judging and performing on the same day.
The Take That singer, who attended the first audition of this summer's competition on Wednesday, will watch hopefuls by day and fill stadiums by night on several days.
"Double shifts for me," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
He said he would be attending all 12 auditions, despite clashes with live dates as his group play to 1.7 million people on their sell-out stadium tour.
"That was one of the things, I didn't want to miss any of the audition days.
"I want to see all the talent come through the door," he said.
Explaining his decision to get involved, he said: "I fancied just taking a back-seat for a while and helping other people develop their careers."
Gary doubted there would be any guest appearances from Cheryl Cole, who was axed from the US version of the show last week.
"I think she's possibly turned a corner. We'll see her somewhere else," he added.

I love this rug. At first I was disappointed when I opened it and saw that the background color is NOTHING like the color in the photo- it is a muddy grey. But, it still looks great by our pool. And the darker color is probably better for covering dirt anyway. The green is pretty vibrant in the sun but still not as light as in the photo. I still love the rug though. It was hard for me to find a nice modern rug that suits the space and this fits the bill perfectly. Plus as always the overstock.com price makes it a bargain.
