McDonalds staff 'rough up' prof with home-made techno-spectacles
A man wearing computer-assisted spectacles was assaulted by staff in a Parisian McDonalds, who tried to pull the glasses off his head then threw him out of the restaurant, according to a blog post written by the victim. The staff seemed angered by the high-tech vision-ware worn by Dr Steve Mann who is an academic at the …

Re: Kids
You going to take your kids for steak tartare? Frog legs, oysters or escargots?
Just the other month I saw a 5yo in a restaurant in southern France tucking happily into a plate of Beef Carpaccio, so why not.
@Nick Ryan. One word numbnuts. Kids.
Re: RTFA
We did read the article. What the hell do you think French kids eat? I hope you aren't a parent. What kind of example are you setting your kids? Fast food is not better for them than traditional French cooking. Don't pass your own ignorant hangups onto another generation.
Re: The stuff on Dutch French Fries
Not as good as peanut sauce though!!!!!
Re: I draw the line at Whale \ Dolphin meat.
Ever eat shark?
A nice one inch thick slab cooked on a charcoal grille, not bad at all I'll say. A bit like tuna but not quite.
And a lot better than a shark eating you of course. Turning the tables, so to speak.
(and no, it's not a lawyers' joke!)
Re: I draw the line at Whale \ Dolphin meat.
Yeah, Shark n bake :-) I don't mind shark, I love ahi (tuna). The Whale \ Dolphin thing probably isn't based on the most rational basis, but I live surrounded by them (whales for maybe 3 months of the year, dolphins year round), they just feel like very special creatures. Not rational I know :-) Also like cod and some tuna stocks, they need time for their numbers to recover.
I'm not an expert on German cuisine, but I know that at least bratwurst & sauerkraut is usually pretty good (and has sometimes been incredibly good - easily some of the best meals I have ever had, compares favorably to anything).
Perhaps you could say German cooking is a safer choice for a tourist - usually edible even when it is not so good?
Re: @Mr Tumnus
I visited London last year and stayed in a small hotel in the city centre. The food they served was some of the best I've eaten, at least that year.
Re: @Mr Tumnus
Ya don't mean Flunch do ya? ;) Actually that was not bad veg a bit like you say, but I think they try to cheat by improving peoples' perception of the food, by getting people wasted on free drinks and spectacular amounts of Vin Rouge from the Mecha-Sommelier's tap ;)
Re: an alsacian, restaurant
"I draw the line at Whale \ Dolphin meat"
Whats wrong with whale meat? I have more issues eating a dog than a whale.
And dolphin tastes like tuna.
Re: an alsacian, restaurant
Re whats wrong with whale meat, as I mentioned above it's probably not the most rational thinking, but when you get to swim around whales and dolphins all year (for dolphins, 3-4 months a year for whales) and see them eye to eye, they're special creatures. I really don't expect others to agree, I was just being honest.
I also think the stocks of some whale populations are too low to be fished sustainably right now. Some tuna and cod stocks are in a similar position. Fwiw I don't eat much if any cod and I am careful about where my ahi (tuna) comes from. It just makes sense not to overfish.
"Not pleased"
Assaulted by staff even after showing them the letter.
Usually I am against suing people but a lesson must be learnt here.
Re: "Not pleased"
Suing them? He should have pasted them against the wall!
Re: "Not pleased"
Which would have made the beginnings of a great film in this case. Yoo-hoo Mr Besson!
Re: "Not pleased"
Why did he need a doctor's letter? I can't think of any medical reason for needing to have video recording spectacles attached to your skulll.
Perhaps it was a letter from his psychiatrist.
To Whom it may concern,
This man is disturbed. Treat with caution.
Best Regards,
But what better choice...
...if you had to recommend a restaurant in Paris, to Kevin Warwick?
this is normal french customer service right?
He must have just ordered the Meal Deal, you should see what happens if you order a Pineapple Milkshake!
Funnily enough...
... I never had any problem with French waiters. Just be a nice person and they'll be nice too.
The thing you gotta remember is, service charges are always included in the bill there. Waiters don't rely on tips for survival, so they don't have to put up with assholes and can afford to cut them down to size.
Re: Funnily enough...
Nothing wrong with French waiters - it's more like a profession than a job (except for the one that got stroppy, merely because I complained necause there were maggots in the cheese).
But McDonalds staff are McDonalds staff the world over.
Re: Funnily enough...
I don't see the link between restaurant waiters and McD staff... We're not talking silver service here, we're talking about some knuckle dragging monkey handing you a plastic tray, or pushing round a floor mop and bucket.
Re: Funnily enough...
The problem I think is that people refer to McDonalds as a 'restaurant' (which it plainly is not). Of course this is enforced by MuckDonalds PR and marketing.
Re: Funnily enough...
Quite. It's a hamburger stand with indoor seating.
On the other hand...
The picture makes him look like one of the Borg.
No wonder they were trying to get him out of there. Who knows where it might have lead?
Borg? Nah

Should have gone to...
Must be endemic in France.
There was I thinking it was just "Les Flics" who were in the habit of dishing out a good, solid jackbooted stamp to any piece of electronics in your posession that they didn't like the look of. Now I see this.
Maybe they're just all

Re: Must be endemic in France.
You had an OLD iPhone? Sacre-bleu!!!
If, as his headshot appears to suggest, he was naked at the time I'm not surprised the surly Parisiens got the hump and booted him out on his a derriere.
For god's sake, put a coat on, man!
(Either that or they thought he was a really bad covert documentary maker...)
The French
It had nothing to do with the glasses at all, that's just what happens when you order McDonalds in france. It enragees them so much that you're eating cheap shit they just can't help themselves.
Also if I were there I would have tried to help the guy out, not because I feel sorry for him (although I do) just an excuse to swing at a frenchman.
Re: The French & cheap shit
The guy who assaulted him was the owner of the restaurant.
Cyborg uprising
Kudos to the McDonalds staff for their "hit first, hit hard" policy with regards to the impending cyborg uprising.

Someone warn Jordy La Forge, no "Le Big Mac" for him.
Seriously though this guy was assaulted by a member of staff and the police haven't done anything? For wearing what effectively is a small camera attached to his glasses.

Re: Somebody tell La Forge
Of course, at this point he could have done with a 6'8" Klingon backing him up...
Re: Somebody tell La Forge
Sure, but you know if Worf had been there he'd have cleaned up one or two of the guys and then had his ass completely kicked by whoever was left.
Re: Somebody tell La Forge
And then agonise about it to Troy for hours afterwards...
Re: Somebody tell La Forge
And then they'd make a vague gesture in the direction of a "will they won't they" relationship subplot, except there's no point because the various writers never acknowledge one another's existence save at gunpoint, so it just wastes scarce episode minutes and pisses everybody off.
Re: Somebody tell La Forge
I hear she likes to get her hands on a Mars Bar.
I wondered that also
"WTF was he doing in a McDonalds in Paris anyway? Paris allegedly home to cuisine cooking after all..."
I wondered also why my collaques go to "local mcdonalds" in Paris. After visiting couple of restaurants, I do not wonder. Such a crap is seldomly thrownt to a plate that in Paris. And prices are 3x to Germany, for example. Old visdom: If someone starts phrase with word "allegdy", the rest of the story does not usually base on truth.
Note - this is not applicable outside of Paris; at least to my experience.

Re: The bit that freaked me out...
Tell me about it. I didn't realise technology had reached that sort of point. I recall a documentary a few years back about a system that was designed to try and give some limited vision to people who were completely blind by crudely stimulating the visual cortex with implanted electrodes fed from a camera, but that was enormously clunky and only showed a few tens of dots. What this guy is wearing seems almost Star Trek in comparison.

Oregon Football: 5 Best QBs Ducks Will Face in 2014
The 2014 season is unofficially dubbed "Year of the Quarterback" in the Pac-12, thanks to 10 talented returning starters.
Leading the pack is Oregon redshirt junior Marcus Mariota. His teammates on the defensive side of the ball will have their hands full against the deepest crop of playmakers in the nation.
A variety of contrasting quarterbacking styles await the Ducks defense in 2014. Oregon will see dual-threat quarterbacks capable of exploiting openings on the ground, air-raid QBs ready to air it out all game long and under-center signal-callers.
In Pac-12 play, Oregon sees Arizona and Washington, the conference's only two teams without returning starters. Otherwise, the conference slate features one proven challenge after another.

Oregon Football: 5 Best QBs Ducks Will Face in 2014
Auburn Football: 5 Best QBs the Tigers Will Face in 2014
It may be a "down" year for quarterbacks in the SEC, but Auburn's developing defense will definitely not have it easy this season.
While perennial powerhouses Alabama and LSU still have not named starting quarterbacks for 2014, other contenders in the SEC—and even one of Auburn's non-conference opponents—feature several talented quarterbacks who will be eager to test the strength of a Tigers pass defense that was shaky at best last season.
Some of these signal-callers also have dual-threat abilities that will make them even more of a challenging matchup on the Tigers' schedule, which is considered to be one of the toughest in college football. How Auburn performs against these top quarterbacks will go a long way in determining its chances at another trip to the national title game.
With a few weeks to go before the start of the defending SEC champions' 2014 campaign, let's take a look at the five best returning quarterbacks Auburn will face this season.
Clemson QB Cole Stoudt Pranks Unsuspecting People by Dressing Up as a Mannequin
The classic mannequin prank never gets old.
In order to show off new equipment and uniform combinations, the Clemson Tigers set up a few mannequins at the WestZone at Memorial Stadium. However, there was a bit of a twist.
Quarterback Cole Stoudt posed as a mannequin so he could scare unsuspecting teammates, staff and fans. The results, which include Stoudt getting slapped, are fantastic.

Preseason College Football Rankings 2014: Breaking Down First Coaches Poll
The 2014 college football season can't come soon enough, and along with the excruciating wait comes the infamous preseason top 25 rankings, starting with the Amway Coaches Poll.
The system has received some flak for releasing standings before a single game is even played, and it's typically wise not to look too much into the Top 25 until the season runs its course a bit. But with juggernauts like Alabama, Oregon, Auburn and especially defending champion Florida State at the top, there is plenty to be made about these opening rankings.
With that said, there might be a program not even on the list that will end up representing their school in the first ever College Football Playoff. It's far from fool-proof, as we've seen teams like Auburn go from unranked in the preseason to the cusp of a title months later.
Here is how the first Amway Coaches Poll provided by USA Today:
Breaking Down Top 25
Even before Kelvin Benjamin skied up to make the championship-winning catch that put Florida State over Auburn, there was little doubt the Seminoles would start 2014 as the top team in the land.
Jameis Winston is coming off a Heisman campaign entering his redshirt sophomore year—yes, sophomore. He only looked mortal for about one half of the entire 2013 season, which he quickly rebounded from in the BCS National Championship Game to win it all.
Winston loses a few of his top targets. But with 13 returning starters, stockpiled top recruiting classes and a nasty defense, there's no safer bet than the Seminoles to make the new playoff, as ESPN Stats and Information noted:
But if they get there, that will just be the start.
After Florida State, the Top Five is understandably packed with the SEC's elite. Never far behind—if at all behind—is Nick Saban and Alabama at No. 2.
Recent staples like A.J. McCarron and C.J. Mosley are gone, and Saban doesn't even know who his starting quarterback will be entering fall camp. But an incredible stretch of recruiting and depth-building should allow the Crimson Tide to be a force yet again, not to mention the sour taste of ending last year 0-2.
Right in the thick of things with Alabama is No. 3 Oklahoma. The Sooners ended 2013 just about as solid as you can without lifting the national title trophy, convincingly beating the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl.
One can never count out Oregon's mix of speed and talent, either. If the three coaches who slotted the Ducks as their No. 1 team are right, Mark Helfrich's squad might rebound from a rocky 2013 to win the Pac-12 and threaten the playoff.
Of course, then there's the rest of the SEC. Alabama has four teams just from the cutthroat SEC West accompanying it in the rankings, including arch-rival Auburn—last year's Cinderella. Steve Spurrier's South Carolina team cracked the Top 10, but other powerhouses like LSU and Georgia are also lurking in the Top 15.
With title-contending schools like No. 6 Ohio State, No. 8 Michigan State, No. 7 UCLA and No. 10 Baylor also in the fold, it's splitting hairs to decide which four teams will survive and advance to the playoff.
Much of the college football world got their wish when the four-team College Football Playoff was announced, and we're only a few gridiron-packed months away from figuring out who it will feature.
But with so many contenders vying for four exclusive spots, the stakes will be enormous from Week 1 all the way to the conference championships.

Watch Alabama Football Fans Sprint Across Field to Get Nick Saban's Autograph
Nick Saban has led Alabama to three national championships since 2009, so he's kind of a big deal to the team's fans. Watch the video to see just how much Crimson Tide fans love their coach.
Fans sprinted across the field at Alabama's annual Fan Day at Bryant-Denny Stadium just to stand in line to wait to get Saban's autograph. Fans can get autographs from their favorite players as well, but the coach easily had the longest line.
As we know, football is all that matters to Crimson Tide fans. Even for Fan Day, some fans really get into it. AL.com's Alex McDaniel reported that one fan camped out from Wednesday to Sunday to make sure that he was the first one in line.
An Auburn fan has already set some of the video to the "Kick Six" radio call (h/t SB Nation):

College Football Playoffs 2014: Format Explanation and Predictions
Finally, after years of clamoring from fans and the allure of a huge television contract becoming too much to bear, the NCAA has finally relented on a College Football Playoff. The four-team format goes into place for this season, creating a system whereby the constant controversy surrounding the title picture should cease.
With everything new in sports, though, comes one question: What in the world is going on?
The concept of a playoff is easy to understand in other sports. Win more games than your divisional opponent and you're in. Win enough games to earn a wild-card berth and you're in. Everything is black, white and easy to understand; even tiebreakers have spelled-out rules.
College football's playoff teams are decided on a much more subjective level.
Winning 12 games in the MAC is not as good as winning 11 in the SEC. When given the choice between an undefeated mid-major and two-loss major-conference team, there is no guarantee the team with the better record gets the bid. Because, of course, unlike professional sports, not all collegiate programs are playing on an even field.
Strength of schedule, quality of opponent and scoring margin—things that matter in pro sports but aren't factored into playoff berths—play an important role. This isn't even a system like the NCAA basketball tournaments, which guarantees an opportunity for each conference tournament winners.
Four teams. That's it. How are they determined? Let's take a quick look at the format and break it all down.
College Football Playoff Format
Pretty much nothing changes about the college football regular season. Teams play their schedules, go through the motions and then see where they end up. However, instead of there being only two slots to compete for a potential national championship, the number has doubled to four.
Even the general gist of the past BCS era stays the same. Similar to how the computer rankings would start publicly trickling out midseason, the same goes for the College Football Playoff poll. Each week beginning Oct. 28, the 13-person panel tasked with selecting the four finalists will release a Top 25.
"The concept will be, if the season ended today, these will be the rankings," College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock told reporters in May.
This creates a few problems. Notably, part of the point of creating a committee rather than using computerized polls was eliminating the week-to-week headaches of percentage points. The committee is required to use a generalized criteria featuring the same tenets of the BCS: strength of schedule, head-to-head record, conference strength, etc.
By releasing a poll every week, some of the more methodical nature will be eliminated. The NCAA college basketball committee, for instance, does not release a top 68 the entire season until it is time to select the final field. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, as schools should immediately get an idea of what the committee is judging.
The final rankings are released the week of the conference championship games. The four teams selected are then seeded based on their ranking—like a general bracket. The top-ranked team in the country plays No. 4, with No. 2 and No. 3 going head-to-head.
Semifinal matchups take place on New Year's Day, with the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl playing host this year. (The semifinals will be on a rotation between the six biggest bowl games—Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Peach and Fiesta.)
On Jan. 12, the two semifinal winners will go head-to-head for the national championship. This year's game will be played at Arlington's AT&T Stadium. Each title game is subject to a bidding process and will take place on the second Monday in January in most cases.
College Football Playoff Predictions
No. 1 Florida State
The Seminoles are atop nearly everybody's preseason poll for good reason. That reason being that they are very good at playing football. Florida State returns 13 starters from its 2013 team—a unit that happened to, surprise, be very good at playing football as well.
Jameis Winston enters his sophomore season as the favorite to become the second back-to-back Heisman winner in history. While his offseason has been ripe with controversy, Winston has never shown any signs of breaking on the field. He threw for 4,057 yards and 40 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions last season.
Those numbers should provide a benchmark for the Seminoles, who return nearly all their firepower from last year's attack. Four of the five offensive linemen who protected Winston return and so does leading receiver Rashad Greene and his 1,128-yard producing self. Losing Kelvin Benjamin, Kenny Shaw and Devonta Freeman hurts, but Jimbo Fisher has enough talent in the stable to make it work.
Karlos Williams and Ryan Green should be a strong one-two punch in the backfield. Jesus Wilson's suspension and arrest were ill-timed, yet he still has the potential to be special out of the slot. Christian Green, a redshirt senior, will finally get his opportunity to shine.
The concerns in Tallahassee are surprisingly more on the defensive side.
The Seminoles lost five starters from last year's world-beating unit and might not possess the complete lockdown dominance they did against the pass. P.J. Williams is going to have to come back from his national championship Defensive MVP status and become one of the nation's best cornerbacks.
Between Williams and Ronald Darby, Florida State might have the most talented defensive back duo in the nation.
This is a reloading season, not a rebuilding one. Florida State remains the title favorite until proven otherwise.
No. 2 Alabama
Another year and it's another awesome Alabama team. The College Football Playoff feels like it was designed for Nick Saban. No one in the sport is better at meticulously breaking down an opponent's strengths than Saban. He's lost just two bowl games since arriving at Alabama and holds an 8-4 bowl record since the turn of the century.
It also helps that he consistently works with the best talent in the country. Alabama has come away with the best recruiting class in the country each of the last four years, per 247Sports, and is now becoming fully reliant on those players' development.
The Tide return eight starters on offense, though one that is missing is arguably the biggest.
For the first time in three seasons, someone other than AJ McCarron will be playing quarterback. Who that signal-caller will be, though, is perhaps the biggest offseason storyline for Alabama. Jake Coker and Blake Sims have been battling all spring and summer to land on top, with neither player having much of an edge.
Sims, a redshirt senior, has a ton of support in the locker room. He's kept his head down for four seasons as a backup and has worked tirelessly to earn his moment under center. Cooker, a Florida State transfer, has a ton of talent. He is also more of the traditional Saban mold, a pro-style caretaker who won't be prone to many mistakes.
Once the quarterback situation is settled, the offense should fall into place. T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry give Alabama perhaps the nation's best thunder/lightning situation at running back. Amari Cooper should be in for a breakout junior season after battling injuries and inconsistency in 2013. The Tide have enough talent that they should never have anything less than an elite offensive line.
While only five starters return on the defensive side, Saban's young unit has a ton of talent. A'Shawn Robinson, Dillon Lee and Brandon Sylve should be in for major strides this upcoming season. Plus...Nick Saban da gawd at defense. That perfect piece of prose is how we will choose to end this subheadline.
No. 3 Oklahoma
We follow Alabama with the team that waxed the Tide in last year's Sugar Bowl. After years of getting lambasted as being unable to win big games, Bob Stoops has quietly captured four bowl wins in the last five years—two of which came on the BCS stage.
The Sooners come into 2014 with national championship hopes, thanks in large part to a bevy of returning talent. Sixteen starters from an 11-2 squad are expected to be in the Week 1 lineup, including nine on the defensive side.
Eric Striker, Dominique Alexander and Frank Shannon comprise a linebacking corps that is quietly among the nation's best.
Mike Stoops has followed an interesting trajectory since coming back to Oklahoma in 2012, but he seems to finally be putting together a defense in his image. Oklahoma allowed just 22.1 points per game last season—pittance in the offense-oriented Big 12—and should be even better with so many young guys getting reps.
Worth noting: Only four projected starters are seniors. Barring early departures for the NFL, the Sooners are going to have an elite defense for at least the next two seasons. Times are good in the Stoops household.
On the flippity flip, the offense remains largely unsolved. After a largely miserable freshman season, Trevor Knight will again get to ply his trade at quarterback. Knight was marvelous in the Sugar Bowl, throwing for 348 yards and four touchdowns, but that performance was an anomaly when judged against his seven other appearances.
Take away the Alabama triumph and Knight was a 52.2 percent passer with one more touchdown than interception. Stoops will have to hope Knight's considerable talent starts shining through. Otherwise, Stoops' best team in more than a half-decade could go down in flames.
No. 4 Ohio State
Let's call this an obligatory mention. Ohio State, as is the case most seasons, is demonstratively better than any other Big Ten team. Wisconsin and Michigan State are the only teams within shouting distance, and the Badgers might have been a little overrated by the coaches at No. 14.
The Buckeyes return only 12 starters, but they do so at important positions. Braxton Miller has to become the superstar we've all been fed the last couple of seasons.
Miller's progress has been incremental since his breakout freshman campaign. He's still yet to show consistent accuracy with his ball placement, he's really struggled against top-level defenses and his injury-riddled campaign last season proved his body might not be up to playing Urban Meyer's style over the long haul.
Miller is also in the process of recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
Miller told reporters at Big Ten media days:
I feel like it's stronger. Man, everything that was damaged in there has been cleaned out. So even if I didn't have that injury, I feel like everything from before that injury has been cleaned out. I barely had any rust when I came back. With my footwork and everything like that, I had been focused on that throughout the spring.
Devin Smith and Evan Spencer give Miller two senior wideouts to act as his top targets. While running backs Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott are largely unproven, both come with elite pedigrees and were effective in limited carries last season.
The big worry for the Buckeyes will come on the offensive line, which is undergoing a complete overhaul. If Miller, Wilson and Elliott start the season slow, we might want to start craning our necks at the big guys up front.
Ohio State has additional questions in the secondary, with Bradley Roby departing early for the NFL and Christian Bryant graduating.
The team will also be dealing with the loss of Ryan Shazier, which leaves a hole in the linebacking corps and the locker room. With the Buckeyes hosting Michigan and Virginia Tech and their only difficult road game coming against Michigan State, 2014 might be the season the Meyer era truly kicks off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PotterL Perfect I replaced my old ghds not because they were broken but because I had them for years. I have never had a problem with them and my new ones seem to be of the same standard. Can't complain at all!! September 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aprillskye1993 This product works quickly I love it. Before it use to take me 30 mins to straighten my hair. Now it takes 10 mins sometimes not even that. It's amazing. September 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ThatJennaKid I love this styler! Absolutely amazing! I love this styler. So easy to use. Glides through my hair so easily. Creates amazing curls September 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cassie AMAZING After 6 years of having a GHD there was no doubt I was going to get another one. I came across the GHD V sapphire styler and I loved it straight away, it came with the GHD hair brush and heat bag which was awesome. The GHD itself is really smooth on my hair as it styles so it doesn't feel like it's ripping my hair and it's also so easy to use because of how slim the GHD is to style my hair and LOVE THE COLOUR RANGE. I would highly recommend GHD stylers to anyone. September 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Paynie This produce has great assessories with it The brush with the straightners has been really useful and makes it easier to straighten September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmmaHarv Very smooth and great hairbrush Much smoother than my old ones and the paddle brush is great. September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily1991 Best purchase of the year! Absolutely fantastic product. I have really curly hair, and I can have it all straight in about 5 minutes! Well worth the money. September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Piera73 Brilliant product to have! Love the colour of my GHD's, this is my 3rd pair as I gave my last ones to my mum she loves them & the other ones were the very first pair that I bought back in 2009. Would never use any another straighteners! September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DianeG018 GHD V Sapphire styler = the best! GHD's beautiful colour/packaging ..... Tried cheaper models of straighteners they don't compare toGHD's Quickly heat up ready to use in seconds - perfect! September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NicolaJP Excellent performance Arrived the next day after ordering. Straightens my hair quickly and lasts all day September 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lea1983 Excellent product... Great product... Very well made as normal and the only product you ever need. September 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Munn83 Nothing less than you'd expect As usual, you can't fault the quality of GHD's. they do exactly what they're supposed to and do it very well. Had my last GHD's for over 10 years, so when they finally died I was quite excited to get a new set! The new ones are sleeker and fancier looking, love the colour as well. They make a great job of my hair and I'm really happy with them! September 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phoebe The product is lightweight and easy to use. Much better than my previous styler. I am really pleased with my new styler. The only slight downside is that there is nothing to keep the tongs tidy when not in use. Otherwise excellent. September 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JustineTyme6 Great product! I bought this for myself after my first straighteners finally decided they were on their last legs! I thought I would go all out, and wasn't disappointed in what I received! These straighteners are extra sassy with their lovely colour and do everything I need them to! Really quick at heating, so when I'm in a rush (as usual) there is no worries. I would definitely recommend this product, even the brush is fab! September 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by luvbug26 It lives up to everything you hear about them I bought this after using my sister's ghd. Will never go back to another straightner. Think of it as an investment for your hair. And the absolute best part... Luvin' the colour!!! September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jennymaree06 This product is amazing Love this hair straighter and would never change. No other brand or prduct comes close to how amazing this straighter works August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Laceyjane91 Fantastic Product Fantastic Product the only thing i can say is that i wish it came with a case so they dont get damaged when i am travelling with them August 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jayp Would not recommend this product So disappointed with this styler. I have used a GHD styler for the past 10 years and would have recommended highly. When I needed this replaced I did not hesitate to replace with another GHD. I love the look of this styler but there must have been a change in the design of the plates and there is a part that catches and pulls and breaks my hair. It is painful and the hair is instantly found on the plate, a far from ideal situation. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nickyjj So quick and easy to use. Wow, what a fantastic product, best straighteners I have ever used. My hair looks great and it is so quick and easy to use. Really glad my hairdresser recommended them to me. August 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kayk Really disappointed with the GHD I was told it works well with fine hair. I have struggled to use it and my hair does not straighten nicely. I have fine hair I struggle to use it. Doesn't work on my hair August 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sphillips08 Brilliant Product These are quick to heat up and glide through my hair brilliantly. I also love the colour :-) August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WHEELERDEALER Sapphire Style ! I received the V Sapphire Styler in 24 hours of ordering. It is a very stylish lightweight product that heats up rapidly and is simple to use. It grips the hair well and moves effortlessly to produce a sleek well groomed style. I would recommend this styler to anyone with short to medium length hair. or fine long hair. August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chantilly I love this product The ghd v styler is an amazing product! I have always been happy with all ghd products August 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ladylisa666 Great colour but not as high performance as expected I like the colours available but I don't really think the performance is upto much, they don't seem as hot as previous Straighteners & seems to take me longer to straighten my hair :-( August 21, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by SRAHMAN More options should be there, for example setting the temperature. Other than that, i think the product is just perfectly designed, it sets in my hands perfectly. :) August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anna990 Fantastic product Really great straighteners. Best I've ever had. Fabulous quality and performance and would definitely reccomend them to anyone. August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by wiggit This product is perfect and the brush that comes with them is great. I use hair straighteners every day but the thought of spending alot of money on them has always put me off buying ghd's but when i turned 40 in July I found i had quite alot of money to spend so decided to take the plunge and purchase a set. I am sooooo glad i did they are amazing, they glide through my hair like no other straighteners I've purchased and I've purchased alot over the last 10 years! Thank you ghd :D August 12, 2013

"Don't you want somebody to love?"An American rock/pop band that formed in San Francisco in 1965, Jefferson Airplane/Starship has gone through significant stages in its long and storied career.
Jefferson Airplane (1965-1972)
The original band, Jefferson Airplane, was a Bay Area Folk Music group with a sound comparable to The Byrds and the Lovin' Spoonful. According to Jorma Kaukonen, the name came from a friend, Steve Talbot, who jokingly nicknamed him "Blind Thomas Jefferson Airplane" as a parody of the sort of nicknames Blues singers usually adopted (and possibly had Blind Lemon Jefferson in mind), and when nobody else could think of a band name, Kaukonen remembered Talbot's joke and shortened it appropriately. This didn't stop rumours that the original name referred to an impromptu method of holding a too-short marijuana joint. When they first formed in 1965, Jefferson Airplane consisted of Marty Balin and Signe Anderson on lead vocals, Jorma Kaukonen and Paul Kantner on guitar, Bob Harvey on bass and Jerry Peloquin on drums. Harvey and Peloquin didn't last long, and were quickly replaced by Jack Casady and Skip Spence on bass and drums respectively. Airplane would release one album (Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, 1966) with that line-up before Spence moved on to create Moby Grape (and subsequently suffered from mental illness, dying in 1999), and Anderson left to raise a family.They were replaced by Spencer Dryden (the nephew of Charlie Chaplin) and iconic frontwoman Grace Slick. Now the classic line-up was set, and with the release of their 1967 album, Surrealistic Pillow, they established themselves as a leading Psychedelic Rock band. They enjoyed Top 10 hit singles in America with "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit", are the only band that played at the three most famous rock and roll festivals of The Sixties (Woodstock, Monterey and Altamont) and headlined the first Isle of Wight Festival. Unfortunately, the group seemed to run out of steam with the onset of The Seventies; Dryden was fired in early 1970 (Replaced first by Joey Covington, then by former drummer of The Turtles, John Barbata), and Balin, disillusioned with the psychedelic scene after the death of his close friend Janis Joplin, and with the gradual decline of his influence and involvement, quit his band. After a series of revolving members (Including violinist Papa John Creach and vocalist David Freiberg), they finally called it a day in 1972. Kaukonen and Casady went on to further success with Hot Tuna.

Jefferson Starship (1974-1984)
However, the band reformed in 1974 under the name Jefferson Starship (named after the ad-hoc supergroup that played on Paul Kantner's Hugo-nominated science-fiction concept album Blows Against the Empire). The founding line-up of Jefferson Starship consisted of Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Papa John Creach, John Barbata and David Freiberg from Jefferson Airplane, as well as teenage guitarist Craig Chaquico and bassist/guitarist Peter Kaukonen, the brother of Jorma (Peter Kaukonen was gone after their first tour, replaced by Pete Sears). Marty Balin rejoined after their debut album (Dragon Fly, 1974) was released. Their second album, Red Octopus would become their most successful album, and with a little help from the main single from that album (Miracles, which hit no.3 in the charts) they became more commercially successful than Jefferson Airplane ever were. However, today they're probably best remembered as, "That band that showed up in The Star Wars Holiday Special".Importantly, Slick was sacked due to her out-of control alcoholism and a disastrous concert in Hamburg in 1978. Then came the Star Wars Holiday Special, and not long after that, Balin was gone for good. The following year, lead vocalist Mickey Thomas joined the band and subsequently became the effective leader of the band in the 80's. John Barbata left in 1979, and was first replaced by famous British session drummer Aynsley Dunbar, and then by Donny Baldwin. By 1981, Grace Slick was back, but all of these line-up changes took its toll on the band. Finally, with Paul Kantner's departure in 1984, none of the founding Jefferson Airplane members were left, and it was time for a change in name.

Studio and Live Discography:
Starship (1984-1990) and the Jefferson Airplane reunions (1989, 1996)
As a result of legal action from Kantner, the remaining members of Jefferson Starship shortened their name to Starship, a straight-ahead pop-rock group that released three somewhat synth-heavy albums in the mid to late 1980s and had three number one singles with "We Built This City", "Sara" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". Though critically reviled, they were quite successful commercially nonetheless. As it turned, this group turned out to have the least staying power. David Freiberg left during the making of their first album (Knee Deep In The Hoopla, 1985), Pete Sears, after realising what the hell he was doing there (literally) left in 1987, and Grace Slick left the following year. With Mickey Thomas as the sole lead singer, they gradually disintegrated until they broke up in 1990. Notably in 1989, Donny Baldwin was sacked after assaulting Thomas to the point where Thomas had to have facial reconstruction surgery and plates implanted into his skull.Meanwhile, in 1989, the classic line-up of Jefferson Airplane reunited for one last album. However, Spencer Dryden was excluded as Kantner still held a grudge against him for his role in firing one of their managers in 1968. The album was not very well-received, but the tour supporting it was a big success. By then at the age of 50, Slick chose to retire from the music industry, saying that 'All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire'. Papa John Creach died from heart failure in 1994, and the Airplane reunited once more in 1996 for the induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This time Dryden participated and Slick was absent. Skip Spence died from lung cancer in 1999, Spencer Dryden died in 2005 from colon cancer, and Joey Covington died in a tragic car accident in 2013.

Studio Discography (* = Jefferson Airplane):
Jefferson Starship - The Next Generation (1992-Present)
Paul Kantner re-formed Jefferson Starship in 1992, and for the first few years they used the name "The Next Generation" next to Jefferson Starship (a reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation). They eventually dropped that, but they remain active today with a revolving-door line-up mainly as a touring act. As Kantner said: 'I'm working on erasing the bad history of Jefferson Starship, in the '80s when it went bad. I had to leave the band, it got so bad. I'm usually the last one at the party, as a general rule'. They've released two studio albums (Winds Of Change in 1998 and Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty in 2008) and several live albums so far.

Studio and Live Discography:
Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas (1992-Present)
Around the same time Paul Kantner reformed Jefferson Starship, Mickey Thomas chose to reform Starship. Briefly known as Mickey Thomas's Starship, they quickly settled on Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas, a clear indication of Thomas being the band. With a revolving-door line-up, Starship continues to tour today. Guitarist Mark Abrahamian tragically died of a heart attack after a concert in 2012, and Starship released their first album in over 20 years with Loveless Fascination the following year, to extremely positive reviews.

His vegetarian uncle was also happy with the french toast & muffin choices.
Yogurt & house made granola…
Fruit salad, whole fruits & assorted muffin (fresh out of the oven!)…
All the hot items keeping warm including house made sausages…

Something we are all really (really) looking forward to around here is the pending production of Christina Zeidler and John Mitchell's queer Romantic Comedy: Portrait of a Serial Monogamist (POASM).
About the project:
Set in Toronto, POASM tells the story of Elsie Neufeld, a 40 something television producer who is charming, successful and a complete mess when it comes to relationships. When Elsie breaks up with her long-standing girlfriend, she is forced to confront herself, the prospect of being single for the first time and the possibility that she broke up with the one she is meant to be with.
This trailer is meant to show off POASM's desired look and feel. Although, it might seem like a finished film, it's just a taste of what Christina and John have in mind. To make the POASM trailer a reel-ality an Indiegogo Campaign has been started in hopes of reaching the goal of $60 000.
We caught up with Christina Zeidler to find out some more about the inspiration, conception and hopeful future of POASM:
Gladstone Hotel (GH): Are there any films that have influenced you for this project?
Christina Zeidler (CZ): Yes, lots! Manhattan, Annie Hall, High Fidelity, John Hughes films, Swingers are some of them.
GH: How important was it for you to have the film set in Toronto?
CZ: Essential. Toronto acts as a character in the film as well as a metaphor for the main character.
GH: Will Ina Unt Ina or Mintz be making any appearances on the soundtrack? (Ina Unt Ina and Mintz are two of Christina's musical projects. Ina Unt Ina is used in the trailer along with a song by Rae Spoon)
CZ: Maybe! I'll have to convince John.
GH: Of all the Toronto-based lesbian romantic comedies, what will set yours apart. (Ha! What Toronto-based lesbian romantic comedies?!?!)
CZ: It's got a really authentic feel. We've got fun characters who will be familiar to viewers regardless of their own communities. We think the scene in Toronto is unique and interesting and we're excited to have the chance to show it off.
To help CZ and the POASM team make this film a feature, please head over to their Indiegogo Campaign and share some love (monogamous or otherwise).
Local food is what we're all about and we're proud of our neighbours at the West End Food Co-op for opening their doors on the weekend!
For only $5 you can become a member and enjoy shopping at a place that is committed to bringing more healthy and culturally appropriate food to Toronto's West End, and creating a hub for food change. Local & organic foods are plentiful, and they're asking for more of what the community wants to see. So if you're there jot down your fave products for them to find.
With a commercial kitchen on the premises they also sell their own sauces, salsa & pickled items. We grabbed a jar of pickled garlic scapes before they're gone! While we were there the kitchen was whipping up a batch of pears in cardamom syrup.
Worried it might be a fancy new organic store that's out of your budget? Check this, a dozen free range eggs is only $4.49 at the co-op, compared to $5.79 around the corner at Freshco. How ya like that?
The store is currently open Thursday & Friday 11-7pm, and Saturday & Sunday 9am-5pm.
If you've been to any event in the Gladstone Ballroom you'll most likely recognize bartender Stephen Eyes. He's been a slinging drinks here since 2004 (!!!) and now can usually be found tucked into the North Ballroom bar at book launches, burlesque shows, DJ nights and recently kicked ass at NXNE.
Once upon a time Stephen had a show called Eyes on Toronto. It regularly packed the Ballroom with guests eager to enjoy a live talk show format with hilarious guests, up-and-coming and established musicians, and plenty of surprises. He capped it off with an all-night marathon version in 2008 for Nuit Blanche.
We're excited to have Stephen back for a new edition called Eyes on Queen West. Get out your calendars and mark it down for Monday Aug 6th. You won't want to miss out!
Stay tuned for more blog post teasers but for now check out the event on Facebook!

Wine dregs shown to improve cows' milk
Cancer-fighting fatty acids were six times high in milk produced by cows fed wine leftovers.
Wed, Dec 07, 2011 at 10:45 PM
Photo: ZUMA Press
MELBOURNE — Feeding dairy cows the stems, seeds and skins from wine grapes boosts milk production and dramatically cuts the animal's methane emissions, Australian researched published Thursday shows.
Scientists found that supplementing the cows' feed with grape marc — the leftover material from wine-making — reduced cow emissions by 20 percent and increased milk production by five percent.
It also led to more healthy fatty acids in their milk, the research by Victoria's Department of Primary Industries found.
Scientist Peter Moate said researchers were stunned by the results, with the cut to methane emissions thought to represent the largest reduction of its kind ever attained through the use of a feed supplement.
"We've managed to utilize what is currently a waste product for the wine industry and turn it into a very valuable feed source," Moate said.
The scientists supplemented the diet of dairy cows with five kilograms of dried grape marc over 37 days and compared the results with other animals fed conventional fodder.
Moate said the research showed that fatty acids in the grape marc milk were six times higher than with standard autumn feed.
"These particular fatty acids are extremely potent in their ability to benefit heart health and are also known to help fight cancer, diabetes and arthritis," he said.
Moate added there were also indications that cows fed grape marc produced milk with higher levels of healthy anti-oxidants and further tests were being conducted to verify this.
The research is part of a wider program looking at the use of feed supplements to reduce methane emissions, including brewers' grains and cold-pressed canola meal.
The dairy industry in Victoria state provides than 85 percent of Australia's dairy exports, producing 5.9 billion liters of raw milk each year from a herd of around one million cows.

We are two weeks away from Christmas and soon Santa Claus will be making his rounds to all of the nice and naughty children around the world.
For many in Albemarle County they still don't know what they want for Christmas, but a few kids have their minds made up.
Owen Taylor wants Imaginex toys and asked Santa for an Imaginex castle and city.
Three-year-old Caitlynn McGraw wants to sing and asked Santa for a microphone.
Some kept their wishes simple, while others had wishes on a more global scale.
"For Christmas I asked for love and peace all over the world," says Kathryn Peyron.
Santa's lap was open to people of all ages at the Fashion Square Mall. He heard all of their wishes and even read their letters.
"It's the dollies, Transformers, Legos, all of the fun stuff," says Santa Claus. "There's Thomas the Train, things like that."
The kids asked for toys, but for adults, they wanted more than an action figure.
"Adults come in they like to talk, but their asking for cars, Beamers, a Cadillac, stuff like that," laughed Mr. Claus. "Santa can't do all of that, but it's fun."
Santa has been making his list and checking it twice, but he's not sure he can get everything people ask for this Christmas.
Madison Renick wants a little sister. Santa doesn't know if he can work his magic and bring her one, but if she's on the nice list I'm sure she will get a surprise this Christmas.

About the ManufacturerIn a dorm room at the University of Oklahoma in 1969, Ahmad Momeni, the oldest son of "Haji" Ali Akbar Momeni, told his father that people often spoke about the beautiful rugs that came from Persia. Two months after that call, two large bales of Persian Rugs were delivered to a bewildered Ahmad at his dormitory. When he called his father to ask why they were sent, Haji Momeni replied, "Because people want them, so sell them", and Ahmad began to sell them to professors, and around campus. He eventually took his show on the road and drove throughout the country selling these rugs. Soon his father joined him and they opened a small retail store in Austin, Texas, selling one-of-a-kind Persian rugs.
In 1975, father and son moved to NY and formed Momeni, Inc., a fine Oriental rug importer. Momeni, Inc. continues to sell beautiful one-of-a-kind product, but has since expanded into a leading manufacturer and importer of rugs worldwide. Momeni presently has over 50 programmed rug lines, encompassing designs from traditional to contemporary, in qualities of hand-tufted, knotted, hooked, loomed and even machine made.
For thirty years the Momeni name has become synonymous with great quality, cutting-edge designs, and warm, friendly service. The rug industry has changed since Momeni first started, but Haji Momeni's philosophy of "make good quality rugs that people like" has remained the cornerstone of the Momeni success story. This philosophy is now carried on by the next generation of Momeni--Reza, Aria, and Ali, Hajji's other three sons.
