Honoré Daumier
French, about 1870
Oil on canvas
16 x 12 1/2 in.
Known for his satirical, touching portrayals of contemporary life, Honoré Daumier changed direction temporarily after seeing a newly hung collection of paintings by Jean-Honoré Fragonard in the Musée du Louvre in 1869.
Struck by the expressive power of Fragonard's rapid brushstroke, Daumier paid homage to his predecessor in a series of paintings that included The Studio. Daumier, who almost never portrayed beautiful women as objects of attraction, succumbed to Fragonard's sensuality and endowed this model with the upswept hair and casual off-the-shoulder costume of Fragonard's females. Emulating Fragonard's manner of sketching on canvas, Daumier made her dress shimmer, drawing with his brush to build the lights cascading from her blouse onto her full skirt.
Aside from touches of gestural brushwork on the man's sleeve, the model's hair, and the woman's brilliantly illuminated skin and dress, this painting's darker palette and largely subdued brushwork are consistent with Daumier's usual style. The artist hunched over his easel in the background also resembles his frequent depictions of painters or connoisseurs profoundly isolated by involvement with a work of art.

Grey's Anatomy Review: Oh, What a Nightby Christina Tran at . Comments
Grey's Anatomy celebrated its 200th episode with Grey Sloan Memorial throwing a seriously amazing gala. Was it the event of the season? I'm going with yes (even though we've technically only just begun).
"Puttin' on the Ritz" featured our favorite doctors charming Seattle's rich and famous in hopes of raising money for repairs for the hospital. Donned in elegant gowns and dashing tuxes, the physicians were at their finest and I absolutely loved every bit of their competitiveness.
I almost found myself forgetting about the scalpels and scrubs, as it was honestly just nice to see them out and about being fancy and all. Perhaps the most dramatic part at the big party was when an aerialist crashed to the ground and horrifically broke her leg. My jaw dropped, and I kind of wanted to high-five Callie for totally calling it when the girl plummeted to the floor.
Back at the hospital, things were crazy as usual. With the grownups gone, Shane and Stephanie took the opportunity to step it up and rock the ER. Then, there was Leah, who was stuck babysitting in pediatrics and even both April and Arizona.
I found Arizona and April's bonding scene in the supply closet very interesting. Right now, these two characters are my least favorite but seeing them together and just laughing and drinking away their sorrows was kind of entertaining. I was a little surprised, but it just worked. Also, who could really forget that awkward moment when April asked to try on Arizona's leg?! That was just strange but oddly hilarious.
Meanwhile, Bailey struggled to help a dying patient who didn't want to give up. While Meredith believed that Webber simply needed to hit rock bottom, Bailey tried to do everything she could to get him back on his feet. I was stunned when he pushed her so hard that she fell down. What a jerk! He didn't even apologize.
Anyway, Bailey's plan worked and the former chief seems to finally be fighting for his life. However, it has to only be a matter of time when Meredith confronts him for the awful things that he said to her.
Elsewhere: last week Crowen decided that they would try to start seeing other people. Owen is apparently doing just that. From the looks of things, Cristina is going to let it happen, but something tells me that she'll soon be eating her words sooner than later.
Lastly, Alex's dad checked into the hospital high and drunk. Alex spent a majority of the time simply wondering if it was really him, and was completely pissed off when he found out the truth. I really liked how supportive Jo was, whether it was talking up her boyfriend at the gala or even helping him back at the hospital. We know that Alex has a complicated past with his family and I am glad we are finally learning more about it. More importantly, he's got Jo to help him through it. He's found his dad now. What's next? Will he be willing to try and have a relationship with him?
Other thoughts:
- I loved every single MerDer scene. These two steal the show every time! Maybe it's because of their whole sparkly eye thing. Also, when Derek was juggling impressively, I started to wonder if there's anything McDreamy can't do.
- I know Jackson and Stephanie have been an item for awhile now, but I've been indifferent to their relationship status. I was a bit caught off guard when Shane suddenly kissed Stephanie, and I liked that Stephanie immediately went to talk to Jackson about what happened. Nonetheless, I still feel like April is going to come between these two.
- Don't forget to check out the Grey's Anatomy quotes.
- Be sure to return early next week to chime in on our Grey's Anatomy Round Table.
Overall, I thought this was a fun installment that was jam-packed with so much going on and introduced us to a slew of storylines. I appreciated the couple of nods to Grey's Anatomy history and even the glitz and glam of the gala, but I think more could have been done seeing as this was the 200th episode.
I mean, that's a really big deal! What did you think? What will happen next with Alex finding his dad? How will the rest of Webber's recovery go?
I think Callie means that she lost Arizona on the crash, not literally but metaphorically.
New alliances needed so Kepner and Arizona become friends.
Loved the MerDer theme music and reference to the Prom episode.
LOL the Muppets got a plug
While Kelly Torres was speaking with the guy how approached her at the party, he said that his wife died in a plane crash, Kellie then said that her wife died too? Did I miss anything? Or was she just trying to be nice and consoling?
Oh and then Alex and his dad! That will be a interesting.
This was a pretty good episode!
For me the best part was Bailey trying all she could to get Richard better and he kept fighting it and then she gave one last attempt bringing that dying patient to Richard's room and it worked! I was so happy, even though I have been very mad at Richard the last two episodes.
I also liked the end when Jackson took the donors to watch Callie perform her surgery and the one guy asked "How much do you need".
Seeing Patrick Dempsey juggle was a treat.
How cute were Meredith and Derek throughout the episode.
I like Christina but she has no right to be jealous! She was the one that said they should date other people.
Did anybody else pick up on Meredith's closing dialog being the lyrics to the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour from the 60s-70s?
April and Jackson..NO NO NO! I am so so on Stephanie and Jackson just don't put him back with April. I agree Jennifer April is so Whiny. Can't stand April or Arizonia. I will miss Owen and Christina.
I actually like Jackson and Stephanie together. April is so a whiny person! She was very funny being drunk with Arizona but that's it, really...

I have a new obsession. Quilted leather jackets. When recently reviewing my closet inventory (yes, I do that, don't pretend like you don't) I realized that I have not purchased a leather jacket in over 5 years.

On a budget after New York Fashion Week I choose one by ASOS (pictured top left), however just because I went with an Iconic Price choice, doesn't mean you can't explore one of the Iconic Styles! Below are your picks for quilted leather jackets whether you're on a budget (like me) or ready to splurge!

Christopher Priest: The Glamour
Christopher Priest landed in the literary spotlight recently when he had a go at the judges of this year's Arthur C. Clarke Award, and some of the shortlisted books, including those by China Miéville ("he does not work hard enough"), Charles Stross ("[an] appalling and incapable piece of juvenile work") and Greg Bear ("The important words are in italics. Have we lived and fought in vain?"). In the event, the award was won by Jane Rogers for The Testament of Jessie Lamb, which for Priest was "the only [book on the shortlist] that I think is something we can be proud of." (It was also longlisted for last year's Booker Prize. Is this the first time this has happened?) But what interested me most in Priest's essay was his assessment of his own work, which has since been removed from the piece as it sat alongside much-criticised remarks about a thriller writer. Priest said that this writer is "firmly embedded in [his] genre and digging deeper with every passing day, while I have spent the last forty years or so trying to understand and make sense of the orthodoxies that clearly define a genre but also dangerously undermine it." This made me hungry to revisit him, after I was so pleased and impressed by his novel The Affirmation.
The Glamour (1984) is the novel Priest published after The Affirmation, and it is a development of some of the ideas and themes in that book. It has narrative switches and stories within stories; like The Affirmation it is a work of slipstream fiction, where two worlds – two genres – rub shoulders and even merge. It is also – and here is where Priest's assertion of genre exploration makes sense – a book which tests and teases the reader of mainstream fiction. It would not be surprising if it was inspired in part by Anna Kavan's Ice (to which Priest has written a foreword).
Like Ice – like The Affirmation – The Glamour begins with a cool, affectless narrative, a symptom of the iron grip of control which Priest exerts over the reader. It is so pleasing to submit to that control that it would be unfair to reveal what happens for most of the book. (I speak as someone who is appalled that the midway revelation in Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go is now routinely disclosed in summary introductions to the book, even though the book isn't really about that subject matter.) So, what can I reasonably tell you that The Glamour is about?
It is about a man, Richard Grey, who is recovering from injuries sustained in a car bomb, and has lost his memory. That old chestnut! But this is framed within an opening chapter where a first person narrator wonders "if anything might have happened to make me become what I am." It might be a question asked commonly by amnesiacs (Heller's Bob Slocum wanted to know too), but even here on the first page – in the first sentence – Priest is laying traps for the presumptuous reader. Grey can remember his childhood – "but then there was a gap." At the hospital where he is recovering from his trauma, he is introduced to a woman, Susan, who claims to be his girlfriend. Grey is confused but interested – "I don't remember you, but nevertheless feel I know you. It's the first real feeling I've had since I've been here." Interest turns to excitement as he realises that "she was a witness to the fact of himself. She remembered him when he did not." These are ideal ingredients for Grey to allow his memory to fill in the gaps – but is the filler real or invented?
The narrative curves off into what appear to be Grey's memories of how he first met Susan (whom he now calls Sue), and takes several further switchbacks. The gaps are where the reader does the work – just like Grey, we fill in what might make sense, only to find ourselves questioning it as more appears to be revealed. Priest maintains a degree of ambiguity almost to the end of the story, which is where the tests and teases come in. The reader who is happy chained to largely mainstream fiction – that's me – may rebel at the slipstream elements as they appear. But Priest – a seductive teller, a respectful host – never takes the reader too far too soon. In fact it is the very realist and recognisable setting – England, early 1980s – which has drawn the reader in, that makes the shifts and turns so powerful and unsettling. They would not have the same force arising in one of those other-world novels in this year's Clarke shortlist.
The title is worth mentioning at this point. Glamour has an odd ring to it, not helped by the cover of my edition, which resembles a mid-range fragrance advert, but presumably almost thirty years ago, when the book was published, glamour was a less debased word, not redolent as it is now of the vapidity of celebrity culture. Halfway through the book, we learn that the meaning even then was corrupted, and that it is an old Scottish word: "in the original sense a 'glammer' was a spell, an enchantment." But I am in danger of giving too much away.
When Grey is relating his past with Sue, it has an air of double fantasy, both of male desires fulfilled easily (she enters into a sexual relationship with him quickly and willingly) and of the consolations of misery (as he wallows in the fear of losing her to her other lover, the mysterious Niall). The setting reflects his inner turmoil, and there are more odd gaps, highlighting the insistent questions the narrative poses: how real is all this? Whose story is it? And is it one story, two, or more? The Glamour starts as a story about a man losing his memory, and becomes a story of a woman trapped in, or addicted to, an abusive relationship. Priest, for the most part, permits the reader to view the slipstream elements literally or allegorically, so they enhance the human story. The role that Grey, and Susan, and Niall, occupy is of varying degrees of divergence from society: they represent the disenfranchised, the vulnerable, those living between two worlds, simultaneously freed and trapped.
The two worlds are not only in the novel but form the structure of the novel. The experience of being in one narrative world is so immersive that the reader tends to forget about the other one: primacy shifts as the story proceeds. It is intensely atmospheric and frankly gripping in the air of expectation it creates: the tension between the stories means that reader has to work to simultaneously retain hold of what has happened and move on through the turns of the story. All this is apt since, as one character observes, "the urge to rewrite ourselves as real-seeming fictions is present in us all. In the glamour of our wishes we hope that our real selves will not be visible." The characters' real selves are in flux through the story, and Priest's control seems to slip a little until the reader gets to the end; when you realise that he was several steps ahead all along.

as he wallows in the fear of losing her to her other lover, the mysterious Niall
That must be one of the very few books with a character who shares my name.
re: the Clarke and the Booker, it's not the first overlap. The Handmaid's Tale was shortlisted for the Booker and won the first Clarke; Cloud Atlas and Never Let Me Go were shortlisted for both; and there are other authors who have been shortlisted for both awards at different times (notably Amitav Ghosh and Sarah Hall).
I discovered Priest 20 years ago, after a publisher's rep gave me a copy of The Quiet Woman, which I think is one of the most underrated novels of the last three decades. I read The Glamour next and found it increasingly frustrating, but utterly compelling.
Both novels went in and out of print and I seized every opportunity I could to promote them in the bookshops I managed, but the sales were always disappointing. They seemed to be too 'out there' for most mainstream fiction readers (I remember experiencing similar problems with Rupert Thomson) whilst the jackets tended to put off the sci-fi fans.
The current jacket for The Glamour is pretty awful, but at least the novel's back in print.
Thank you for reminding me of the pleasure I had from this novel which I read many years ago. I hadn't heard of Christopher Priest and thus had no expectations. I remember being amazed at his audacity. I was completely wrongfooted by his narrative expecting one kind of novel and then discovering I was reading something completely different. Since then I've read other novels by him and The Prestige is, I think his best. The film was good but the quite exceptionally creepy ending to the novel is even better.
I don't think I've ever been as disappointed and frustrated by a novel as I was by The Glamour.
I bought it after it appeared on the Guardian's all-time top 1,000 best ever books you absolutely must read before you ever die.
While I enjoyed the craft of the writing in the opening chapters – the bit set exclusively in the hospital – as soon we got to what 'glamour' actually was, the whole thing collapsed for me. I just couldn't buy into any of it: the characters, the narrative. And, come the final reveal, I switched from disappointment to outright anger.
I felt so cheated, I remember actually shouting 'you've got to be f*cking kidding me!' and throwing the book to the floor.
Other than The End of Mr Y – which is just the worse-written and stupidest book I've ever read – I can't think of any novel that has provoked such a strong negative and lasting reaction in me as The Glamour.
Without wanting give anything away, can anyone who liked it explain to me their reaction to how things played out?
Did you not struggle with what you were asked to believe throughout the book?
Ned Barry, you have my sympathy, though slightly reversed. I found the opening chapters unbelievable, and slightly irritating, but didn't mind the 'glamour' sections. I was something of a sucker to see how this old sf chestnut would be handled.
I probably read it at quite a superficial level though and didn't try to engage particularly with ideas around how one can become submerged within one's life. If indeed the author was trying to draw us to that.
The ending seemed very forced.

The Department of Homeland Security Would Like to Talk to Your Hacker Teens
It's hard being the Department of Homeland Security. Foreign agents are constantly trying to slip inside the D.H.S.'s computer systems. But America's hotshot hackers either go for the private sector ($$$) or somewhere you can go on the offensive, like the N.S.A. (which, let's face it, sounds super-badass).
So, according to the New York Times, the agency, desperate for recruits, is now making like a college football program and hunting for recruits at high school hacking competitions. Read More

A Chic, Modern Apartment That's Not Chilly
With rich tones and sophisticated fabrics, this lofty New York City pad becomes a cozy family home by architect David Mann. Click through to see the interior design and photos!
By Jennifer Bush
Bold Color in Modern Living Room
A multipart photograph by Ugo Rondinone creates a focal point at one end of the great room. The family relaxes on Barcelona chairs and a Mann-designed sofa to watch TV, which is tucked behind the wall panels. Custom ottomans are covered in hair on hide from Spinneybeck. Walls are painted Picket Fence White by Ralph Lauren.
Mirrored Snake Tables
Two mirrored Meritalia Snake tables from Moss add a touch of glamorous luster to the living room. Silk rug from Beauvais Carpets.
Modern Library
Concealed Kitchen Appliances
"The kitchen is designed to be an extension of the living and dining areas," Mann says. To give it a "seamless flow and dressed-up" look, he concealed countertop appliances behind bifold walnut paneled doors. Mann designed the island, made of crystallized glass. Philippe Starck's Hudson aluminum counter stools are from Emeco. Sub-Zero refrigerator; Wolf range; Broan range hood.
Shimmery Silver For A Sexy Bedroom
The master bedroom is a cocoon of shimmery silver. Wall paint, silk carpet, and velvet bedspread are custom. Great Plains curtain fabric, Holly Hunt. Nouvelle Vague black chaise by Porro. Harnaz cashmere throw.

A David Weeks Torroja Cross chandelier illuminates the e15 Isaac dining table. Both ends of the lacquered-oak table fold out: "It's expandable for larger gatherings, yet intimate the rest of the time for just the family." The transparent Kiss Me Goodbye armchairs are by Driade.
A Sleek Entryway
"When you enter the apartment, it's both vertical and spread out in front of you," Mann says. Oak floors were darkened with a mix of Jacobean and ebony stains.
Spa-Inspired Bathroom
The master bath is "generous with space and light." A wall of mirror hangs above a walnut double vanity. A floating Agape tub sits atop pale limestone floors.
A Library To Curl Up In

When first considering the differences between thick and thin pizza crust, they might seem pretty obvious. One is thick, while the other is not. And while that may sum up what's different between the two, they do each have their own intended purposes; and your own preference may all depend on what you want to eat on your pizza.
Pizza that has a thick crust is considered to be the most traditional form of pizza. The pizza dough on this style isn't really much of a dough at all but rather, a bread that forms the bottom and side layers of what could very well be labeled a casserole rather than pizza. The advantage to this type of pizza is that you can load it up with as many toppings as you'd like and fit it all comfortably in. Just make sure that you offer your customers knives and forks when they order it! Because of the thickness of these pizzas, they do take longer to cook in the oven so they can cook evenly and completely.
Thin crust pizza, such as New York style pizza dough, is much thinner, and usually the same width from the crust to the very edge of the pizza slices. This crust can be fired off very quickly; but because of the delicateness of the dough, they are also usually limited to one or two toppings. Some customers prefer this type of crust because of its crispy and crunchy texture.
Offering your customers both thin and thick pizza crust opens up their choices, and opens up the doors to your business to more people. When you need either type, get it from us here at DeIorios!

What's the Difference between Montreal Bagels and New York Bagels?
The two most distinctive types of bagels in the world are undoubtedly Montreal bagels and New York bagels. But, what exactly is the difference between the two? In fact, there are a few.
Bagels from the Big Apple are boiled instead of being steamed, as most other bagels are. This allows them to have a crisp, dark crust while still maintaining a chewy, doughy interior. New York style bagels are also made using malt and salt without any sugar. That's quite different from Montreal bagels. Bagels from Montreal don't use any salt in them although they do use sugar, something that is excluded from New York style bagels.
Montreal bagels are also boiled before being baked, just like New York style bagels. However, Montreal bagels are boiled in honey water, giving them a slightly sweeter taste than bagels that are made in New York.
One more big difference between New York style bagels and Montreal bagels is that the New York style is much more popular than that of Montreal's. Because of this, you can find bagels from New York just about anywhere, wherever you are in the world. And when you need the best bagels from NYC, you need to order them from DeIorios.
At DeIorios we have New York style bagels, New York style pizza dough, and all kinds of pizza garnishes too. Offer your customers the very best from NYC, wherever your restaurant is located. And when they ask what makes New York style bagels so special, you'll be able to tell them!
Offer Your Customers the Best New York Pizza with the Best New York Pizza Dough
Classic New York-style pizza is world-renowned, and no one can visit the Big Apple without getting an authentic taste of the stuff for themselves. But whether your business is located in the middle of Manhattan, the heart of Texas, or online, you can now offer your customers the best New York pizza by using the best New York pizza dough.
New York style pizza dough is characterized by having a wide crust that while somewhat thick, also puffs up nicely, leaving it light and airy inside. This wide puff of crust becomes thinner the closer you get to the center, giving New York pizza its reputation of having a thin, crispy crust.
This delicate balance of a crust that slowly tapers off is necessary so that the outer edges of the crust can become especially crispy so that when the pizza is finished cooking, the outer crust looks almost charred.
Getting the dough just right for New York style pizza can be a challenge, as it needs to be able to withstand just the right amount of heat and take on that extra crispy look and feel without overcooking. Frozen dough products are now available and come in many different styles including New York style. Cooking the dough in a commercial pizza oven is ideal and if you plan on selling a lot of New York style pizza and don't have one, the investment is one that's well worth considering.
When you need the right dough, and even more tips on how to cook it to perfection, come see us at DeIorio's. We make dough for you, so you can create the perfect pizza for your customers!

Poets Who Inspired Presidents
The Poetry Foundation has published "Poetic Presidents," a study of 12 Presidents and "the poets that inspired them."
Just in time for the election, the match-ups include George Washington and Phyllis Wheatley (the first African-American female to publish a book of poetry), John F. Kennedy and Robert Frost (the first poet to perform a reading at a presidential swearing in event) and Barack Obama and Elizabeth Alexander.
Here's more from the article: "Politicians campaign in poetry and govern in prose, former New York governor Mario Cuomo once said. While it's debatable whether this epically long and tumultuous election cycle has inspired much verse, we at the Poetry Foundation would like to think that poetry has its place at the White House regardless of who emerges as the victor on November 6."

The likes of Harrison Ford, Chris Farley, and Troy Aikman have perched on Deep Sushi's seashell-shaped chairs, marveling at the extravagant rolls of sushi while sipping warm sake. Founded by a band of sushi devotees, the Japanese eatery folds ultrafresh fish into ornamental rolls described in a 1997 D Magazine review as both the "beautifully simple sea-fresh classics we've come to know and love" (think a crunchy california roll with cucumber) and "maverick inventions that smack of attitude." One such eccentric invention, the Pearl roll, surrounds its crawfish stuffing with cream cheese, avocado, and toppings of scallops and fried carrots. Decorative slices of jalapeño, swirls of sriracha, and bright circles of smelt egg have been known to top other sushi creations.
As the expert chefs lord over the sushi bar, teppanyaki masters bustle about the kitchen, sizzling up beef, chicken, and salmon on fiery teppan grills. Behind the bar, mixologists whip up drinks, favoring inventive drinks with names such as Geisha's Laugh and Tokyo Sunrise over old-fashioned cocktails with names such as Walter. In the dining room, guests savor final bites of plum-wine ice cream beneath the soft red light of lanterns hanging from the industrial ceiling. A vivid mural sweeps across the back wall, depicting fierce Japanese warriors and a graceful geisha and infusing a sense of tradition into the otherwise modern decor.
Russell Hayward, the mastermind behind the Thomas Avenue Beverage Company (TABC), thought his days of creating spicy tuna rolls were behind him. But when his guests clamored to see the skills he honed as the owner of Tom Tom, he listened. He hired a team of skilled sushi chefs and expanded the tiny kitchen to create a sushi station—supplementing the already diverse menu of gastro-pub fare, including pastas with house-made sauces and meatballs, with fresh sushi rolls. Tucked into the historic State Thomas district, the neighborhood eatery beckons diners to nosh on the outdoor patio as they absorb the warm vibes of the Texas sun, one of 50 suns America has produced through acutely conspicuous NASA programs. A dog-friendly policy allows canine companions to dog-watch while their owners sip on craft brews or feast on sweet and savory brunch fare.
The menu at Gui Korean Japanese Bistro & Bar shows off the time-honored culinary traditions of the restaurant's namesake nations. Miso soup, edamame dusted with sea salt, and seafood-topped rice bowls represent the eatery's Japanese roots. The Korean side of the menu tends toward hot and hearty dishes such as the spicy kimchi jji gae, flavored with scallions, pork, and, naturally, a liberal dose of kimchi.
The bistro's modern dining room contrasts sharply with the old-school cooking. Strands of lighted crystal beads dangle from the ceiling, dividing the space's two main seating areas. Track lights and conical pendant lamps cast a soft glow across the simple banquettes and gleaming sushi bar. Outside, stout wooden tables populate the bistro's patio seating area, which rests in the shade of a tall tree.
A dim red glow reflects off dark walls at The Fish, and a vibrant, lush interior sets the stage for its succulent sushi. The varied menu offers a multitude of inventive seaweed cylinders. Devastate your face's coast with a Hurricane—crawfish tails, masago, avocado, tempura flakes, spicy mayo, and eel sauce traveling at level-four wind speeds of taste ($10). Decorated seafood veterans can drop the hammer on a Big 3 Roll without a second thought (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, wasabi tobiko, avocado, and soy paper, $10). Aside from raw rolls, the grilled beef rib-eye roll features juicy cuts wrapped around avocado and dashes of cilantro and teriyaki ($10). Replenish your tongue's spice rations with the pan-seared jalapeño scallops ($12), or bedeck it in pan-roasted sea bass with grilled zucchini and a garlic-soy reduction ($19), the sea's authorized currency.
Most of the time, culinary veteran Michelle Carpenter works as a sushi chef, injecting Southwestern spice into her signature rolls at Zen Sushi. On the last Wednesday of every month, however, she's the leader of a secret society. She gathers her acolytes for a meal built from exotic ingredients not usually found at a standard sushi bar, such as fresh lotus root, live abalone, and uni mousse, a dish previously known only as a mermaid hair product. The meeting lasts for up to 10 courses—then, the society disperses, feeling both enlightened and full. The Secret Sushi Society is the most freeform display of Michelle's knack for delicious experimentation. Still, the menu at Zen Sushi showcases several of her original works. Her popular xalapa roll contains cilantro, avocado, jalapeno, tuna, and thin slices of lime, whereas the sakura roll cocoons clam, shrimp, and crab in wraps of pink soy paper, clustered to resemble its namesake flower petals. These creations have won Zen Sushi multiple awards for their surprising fusions of flavor. Never a one-trick pony, Michelle also cooks modern Japanese entrees, from Tokyo ramen with pork and vegetables to a brandy- and soy-glazed duck breast.
Nobuyuki Matsuhisa discovered his passion for food while growing up in his native Japan. His older brother took him to his first sushi restaurant, and the young Nobu was hooked. That enthusiasm never waned, and as an adult, he began his culinary career, traveling the globe cooking in kitchens from South America to Alaska. These experiences?particularly his time spent in Peru?contributed to Nobu's distinctive culinary style, which melds international flavors and techniques with traditional Japanese cuisine. He opened the original Nobu restaurant in New York City in 1994 to great acclaim, and in the decades since, has built up a dining empire that encompasses 25 restaurants spread across 21 cities, five continents, and two parallel universes.
The Dallas location remains true to Nobu's signature vision while still allowing a bit of southern flair to influence the Zagat-praised dishes. Although traditional maki and sashimi are readily available, the chefs also embrace Nobu's willingness to expand upon the traditional flavors of Japanese cooking. Rare grilled tuna might be served with jalape?o salsa, blue crab could turn up in a spicy hot dish, and tiramisu might receive an herbal accent of green tea. This elegant fusion informs the decor as well?a traditional sushi bar is updated with illuminated onyx, while back-lit cherry blossom-cutouts gleam from tall columns.

Taste Test: Beef Burgers
Clockwise from top left: Burgers from Indigo Deli, Fenix, Hard Rock Cafe, and Salt Water Cafe.
Given our country's aversion to beef, burgers are, sadly, a rare, almost artisanal product. Meant to be a fast-food commodity, beef burgers are mostly available in high-end delicatessens and cafes. Frankly, that saves us some time since McDonald's would rarely ever feature as a contender for the best burger in town. We ordered all four the only way burgers should be—succulently medium-rare. The results:
Bombay Dyeing Mill Compound, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, near Deepak Talkies, Worli. Tel: 2438 2888
Price: Rs375
Ingredients: 10 ounce beef patty, cheese, bacon, onion rings and sauteed onions.
Verdict: The menu calls it a legendary burger, perhaps in the same way New Yorker serves legendary Mexican food. This burger's redeeming features are its slivers of bacon and the agreeable fries on the side. It is large enough to be a whole meal—but what a wasted meal it is. The problem lies in the basics: the 10 ounce patty is thin, dry and only a tiny cross-section qualifies as medium-rare. As a result, we lost interest in the burger after just a couple of bites. The onion rings were an interesting addition, but it requires condiments to make up for the dryness. We left it half-way through. ★★☆☆☆
The Oberoi Hotel, Nariman Point. Tel: 6632 6210
Price: Rs900
Ingredients: A heart-attack inducing 200 grams of Black Angus, cheese, bacon, egg, and some layers of tomatoes and lettuce.
Verdict: The "World's Absolute Best Burger" as it's called on the menu is both a visual and gastronomic feast. Dauntingly large, it is served with finger-sized potato…well, wedge-fries (thick enough to be wedges, shaped like fries) and dips, including guacamole. The burger itself is delightful: the meat perfectly done so as to be juicy yet not dripping. The individual layers are perfectly done, and collectively provide a symphony of flavours and textures. Alas, the problem lies in its size—the beast requires a complex plan of attack. Also, it really isn't comfortable gorging a burger like that in such a stuffy setting. ★★★★☆
Rose Minar Annexe, 87 Chapel Road, next to Mount Carmel Church, Bandra (W). Tel: 2643 4441
Price: Rs380
Ingredients: Beef patty (size not specified), tomato and raisin chutney, cheese and egg.
Verdict: This compact sandwich has an extraordinary bun that is light but still holds the burger together well. While the chutney isn't prominent, the egg and beef complement each other beautifully, and the cheese a nice addition. The only flaw this burger has is the accompanying fries—too starchy, they could be thinner and crisper. The burger is light and easy to eat, but it leaves one wanting more. It comes a close second-best purely because it isn't substantial enough. ★★★★☆
5, Ground Floor, Pheroze Building, Chattrapati Shivaji Maharishi Marg, Apollo Bunder, Colaba. Tel: 6655 1010
Price: Rs445
Ingredients: 200 grams of flame-grilled tenderloin, mayonnaise.
Verdict: This no-fuss burger gets straight to the point—it is about the beef and nothing else. Which is why it is our pick for the best burger in town. Meat enthusiasts love nothing more than just well made animal parts, without any distractions or healthy additions. The patty itself is perfectly done, brown on the outside, warm and red on the inside. The mayonnaise is just the right amount, and serves as a lubricant when the bread gets too dry. The Deli burger loses half a point for the sesame bun: it holds well but it could be lighter and slightly thinner. Have it with fries and coleslaw. ★★★★1/2

the best beef to be had is Raspy's in Munnar Kerala, why it is the best is because in KERALA since all communities eat beef including most of the Hindus, the meat used is not old beef like we get in the rest of the country. even a simple chilly fry is as tender as lamb or mutton
@Sukanta…..What's offensive is that you try to impose your fairy tales on me in a democracy.
Holy Cow!
Sukanta, self-righteousness is not attractive. Even in a Bong. Give it up. Life as a sanctimonious a** is hard.
Prakash Manur, I like you =)
Based on the review, I tried the grilled beef steak burger at Indigo Deli today.
It was simply Perfect..
Well cooked
perfect bread: meat ratio
good texture
amazzing taste…
Its a MUST HAVE
This is by-the-way! Years ago, at the old Excelsior Cinema cafe, if I remember well, one could obtain excellent "Wimpy-style" burgers at a reasonable price. Nowadays, the nearest outlet for both reasonably priced and good tasting burgers seems to be MacDonalds in Colombo!
Sukanta, you sound absolutely delicious! I'm going to open a pure veg restaurant in the Khetwadi area and I hope you will patronize it. It will be called THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
I'm a Bong too and most of us don't eat beef/pork. Moreover, eating cow meat in India is deeply offensive because of religious sentiments – I don't mind if you gorge on this sinful meat in another country.
Even many Muslims in India don't eat beef out of respect for their Hindu neighbours. I don't have a problem with the ones that do as long as they keep it to themselves and don't brag about it like the author of this blog.
Seriously, I have observed some Bong Hindus tend to over-do it when it comes to showing how secular, liberal they are. Where's the difficulty sticking to chicken, mutton or fish? There's a huge variety of food available in India – why do you have a need to consume beef and affect your Karma negatively?
A most helpful information. My hubby is a die hard beef fan. Especially Beef burgers!. It is so difficult to get good beef in town these days. We are not too concerned with buff or not. We are going to try the Salt Water Cafe today. I have eaten there before and the food was amazing. Truly Fine Dining! Haven't tried the burgers there though and it is my son's b'day today and he like his dad is a beef burger fan. Thank you
Try the hickory bacon cheeseburger at Hard Rock, and order it medium.
What about the burgers at Just Around The Corner? They used to be really good
That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.- Mahatma Gandhi
Just what I was looking for! Thanks a tonne!
Wonderful to "discover" these burgers in Mumbai -BUT, the fundamental question remains: Is it truly beef? (or just buffalo – which is osmething entirely different!) -
i am very suspicious…..
Beeing a 100% beef eater – i miss my steak!
The Indigo Deli burger is indeed fantastic and I'm sure it's really beef. However most joints that claim to serve beef, I've heard, actually serve buffalo or buff as it's (honestly) known in Delhi. Not that buff isn't tasty.
I personally love the Indigo Deli burger (especially when ordered with Mozzarella cheese) and totally agree with the review (minus the coleslaw comment). The photo however does not do the burger justice!
@Neysa: Frankly, we could have considered a couple of other places too, but we had to filter it down to four. Woodside Inn does good food, but it isn't known for its burgers *particularly*. Their beef medallion is pretty good; better than the burger. You should watch out for Woodside's annual beer and burger festival
@Bill: Fair enough – we appreciate creativity too. However, we live in a city where burgers are scarce so simply getting it done properly in a comfortable setting at a reasonable price is a better overall package.
I have actualy had the Fenix burger in the new Oberoi, Mumbai and I too was blown away by its size. But that said, "size is not everything" and I still conclude it was delicious and the best burger in town.
Sorry, Indigo Deli loses on plainess and no creativity while Fenix is a "wow"!
Great reading. I've heard a lot about Indigo Delhi's beef burger, but have never tried it out. Love their Sangria though…You could've also added Woodside Inn to the list, and I've had one incredible burger there, but I've found them to be inconsistent.
-ghly recommended by another bong, Arkadyuti Basu, the giant beef burger from Bombay Kitchen. Used to be his reason to come in to work on Saturdays.

If you look at the products page, you'll see they are planning a double-sized screen for Q2.
That makes me think. I want to build a GPS. Once I get the double-sized screen, adding the GPS on the back will make it uneven. Anyone know if they are planning to produce "empty" modules to plug in place?

Topic: BUGmodules / Double Size Screen / Hard Drive
Of all the technical modules I have seen posted, I haven't seen a Double Sized Screen. A screen (which is touch sensitive) takes up two ports on the bug base to display vivid video at twice the size of the current screen.
Another mod would be an increase in storage capacity for the bug module. I realize there are micro slots for memory cards, but how about a good ole' fashioned 100bg (or more!) hdd serving as storage through a module.
Just my two cents as a video/web enthusiast.

NJ Divorce Mediation Lawyer
Mediation is growing in popularity for resolving all sorts of business and personal disputes in an out-of-court setting. When a divorcing couple realizes just how expensive a court battle will be, many opt to work out their differences at the mediation table rather than have a judge impose a solution on them. At Adinolfi & Lieberman, P.A., we are pleased to have retired Judge Joseph Testa, J.S.C. (Ret) on staff to assist our clients who chose to use mediation to resolved their divorce matter. Judge Testa (Ret) has more than 40 years of Family Law experience including more than a decade of experience sitting on the bench in Family Court in New Jersey.
Mediation is a method of alternative dispute resolution whereby a neutral third party facilitates a mutually acceptable resolution between the parties. The mediator does not make any decisions, but rather serves only to facilitate the parties to arrive at their own agreement in a non-adversarial environment. The parties decide the terms and fairness of their own agreement with or without independent advice from their attorneys. Both parties typically share the cost of the New Jersey divorce mediator.
The benefits of New Jersey divorce mediation
Rather than paying divorce lawyers to stand around at the courthouse waiting for your hearing to begin, mediation offers couples the flexibility to schedule meetings at convenient times and places with or without the input of lawyers. Also, instead of a public court battle that leaves only bitterness and resentment in its wake, mediation moves the dispute to a far less contentious atmosphere. This preserves a healthy relationship between ex-spouses beyond the divorce so they can coparent their children and share in their special milestones and life events.
To successfully reach mutual agreement, couples using mediation must be able to make compromises, share information willingly, and fully cooperate with each other. If one or both spouses are unwilling to yield on one or more key issues, their dispute may need to start over in divorce court.
Also, if either party must seek a court-enforced order of protection against abuse or to ensure financial disclosures through discovery, then traditional divorce court may be their better course of action. Adinolfi & Lieberman, P.A. has lawyers who are well-experienced regarding the issues of domestic violence that come up in the course of contentious divorce and family law litigation. The firm is uniquely positioned to handle matters in which domestic violence becomes an issue.
Contact our divorce law firm in New Jersey
At Adinolfi & Lieberman, P.A., our attorneys leverage their extensive experience to give you valuable insight into the challenges and strengths of your case. We can advise you if divorce mediation in New Jersey is an effective, productive solution for your particular case.
If you are looking for a highly credentialed, well-respected New Jersey divorce law firm, please call Cheryl Betten, the Firm Administrator for the Haddonfield, NJ offices of Adinolfi & Lieberman, P.A., at 856-428-8334 ext. 258, or use our online contact form to schedule your initial consultation to discuss your immediate legal needs in a personal and confidential setting.

Preventable medical errors are the nation's third leading cause of death, killing up to 440,000 Americans every year. You can make a difference on Election Day by voting YES on Prop 46. It will save lives by:
• Drug and alcohol testing doctors just like airline pilots, bus drivers, and other public safety professions.
• Requiring doctors to check an existing state database to crack down on prescription drug abuse.
• Providing access to justice for medical negligence by adjusting the cap on pain and suffering to account for four decades of inflation.
The insurance industry has vowed to spend over $60 million to defeat Prop 46. We are on the side of the patients, not the insurance companies.

Zephy added a post in a topic: Total Members countWoot - thanks!! Was out of town and this was nice present to come back to!
Zephy added a post in a topic: Total Members countof course right after I post I found a thread that asked similar question :tongue:
looks like I cant without writing a custom hook.
So ask a different question - where is that code to delete or alter it?
Zephy added a post in a topic: Total Members countSo have an odd question.
On the bottom of the forum where it has the total posts, total members etc. I would like to have the total members count exclude a group. We inactivate old profiles and I would like to give a more accurate count of who is active on the site.
Is there anyway to edit that? Want the posts counted just the member count altered.
Zephy added a post in a topic: Server Moveno was hoping would get the answer here :) but doing that now because I have exhausted my knowledge of things to do to fix... everything else works fine, the blogs, the galleries, the nexus..... but not the actual content of pages.
Zephy added a post in a topic: Server MoveI believe so - its marked IPS Content in my ACP... where all the pages and articles are.
Driving me nuts... tried to even reimport a template to see if I could get it to work. Still getting same error.
Zephy added a post in a topic: Server Moveunfortunately that did not do it :/
Zephy added a post in a topic: Server Moveso - moved it on my own and logins and posts etc all working. Even the blogs and galleries.
Only thing that is not is the content - am getting this error:
Error: Could not load template 'template_basicsintro' from group ''
the template it is referencing is there - and all the pages are loaded as well... but not a single page is showing... every grouping gives the above error with a different template referenced.
Zephy added a post in a topic: Server Moveooooo Thank you Rhett! - that was what I was looking for :)
Thanks everyone for your info. Gonna see if I can get this beast moved :P
Zephy added a post in a topic: Server MoveHelp!
So we have been on a real lousy server and just got a dedicated one on a new host. But now comes the fun part... moving a 40k+ post site. :/
Looking for advice on the best way to approach this, to move the databases etc. Possibly even looking for a wee bit of help so I keep my sanity :P
Been trying to export the database but the file keeps failing - so yaaaa.... any tips are much appreciated!
Zephy added a post in a topic: Message on Board Indextotally missed this follow up - thanks though - that worked like a charm
Zephy added a post in a topic: Message on Board Indexany idea why when you put a linked image in here it will open the link but also opens a new window with just the image??
Zephy added a post in a topic: Locked Profiles allowing some modifications?Going to put this out there again to see if anyone since has an idea how I can handle this.
Our members once they are "approved" get moved into a member group that does not allow profile edits. We would however like to allow these groups to still be able to edit at a minimum their avatar but really both their avatar and signature. In the member group settings there is a place to mark allow them to edit avatar/sig but these feature seems to be overwritten by the setting to not allow profile edits.
Would really love to allow some changes here.
Ideally what I would love to see is that fields can be set individually - ie - you can pick and choose what things lock and what things remain open for editing.
Zephy added a post in a topic: Relationship StatusAlso curious if this allows for multiple relations - have an rp forum that this would be a neat way to show relationships to other characters (even just list family) can you have more than one type of relationship so like:
Married: Maria
Family: Tom
And/or can it just do multiple names for one relationship like:
Family: Tom, Jane, Jill
Zephy added a post in a topic: (DP34) Account Switchsince the most recent update to IPS the Account Switch Profiles Linked on the bottom of the profiles does not show all the accounts linked - any idea why?

There was some much needed good news for the Buffalo Bills on the injury front today, according to head coach Chan Gailey.
Gailey just met with reporters moments ago and confirmed that defensive end Mario Williams did have a surgical procedure today to relieve discomfort in his left wrist. However, Gailey said that Williams is not expected to be able to return to practice next week and will be able to play when the Bills come off their bye next Sunday against the Houston Texans.
It was first reported by Tim Graham of the Buffalo News last night that Williams was contemplating surgery. Obviously that sent fans into a panicked worry that the result would keep him out several weeks—if not the entire season. Clearly that won't be the case and Williams should be back next week to face his former team.
There's more positive developments on the health of Buffalo players. Defensive end Mark Anderson (knee) and offensive tackle Cordy Glenn (ankle) could both also be back for the Houston game. Anderson has missed the last two games after hurting his knee near the end of a 45-3 blowout loss in San Francisco. Glenn has missed three games following the ankle injury in the New England loss.
The Bills practiced today, their long practice during the bye week and among the participants were starting right guard Kraig Urbik, who injured his ankle in the New England game. His return is important especially after Chad Reinhart's leg injury last week that could soon land him on Injured Reserve.
Six players missed practice today; Williams, Anderson, Glenn, Reinhart, Terrence McGee and Andy Levitre. Gailey revealed that Levitre was having a procedure done today but would be back at practice next week.
The Bills are now off for four straight days.

About Emanny
Emanny Was Born Emanny Salgado in New York, 1983. He's Known for Singing with Joe Budden, Jadakiss & Ghostwridah.
It's not often the world gets to meet a triple threatwith the immense, unadulterated talent at the magnitude possessed by Emanny. The dapper, young new singer, songwriter, and producer is getting ready to take the world by storm with his melodic singing voice and witty but mature lyrics.
his family made sure he was introduced to music at an early age. With several relatives who rapped, sung, and recorded music, it was only a matter of time before little Emanny followed in his relatives' footsteps. At 14, he joined the world renowned Boys Choir of Harlem. It was in the Boys Choir where he met members of a group he would be a part of called DyNaste, and began pursuing music seriously. While in DyNaste, Emanny gathered much performing experience and was critical in the success of DyNaste as a lead vocalist, but he also was known for his talents as a gifted young songwriter.
In 2000, DyNaste was forced to break up, which left Emanny to go on and use all he had learned while in the group to make himself a successful Singer/Songwriter. Since then, He has written, recorded and co-produced over 100 songs and in 2008, Emanny released a single entitled "All I Can Do" and it has since recieved National and International notice while also getting spinned on major radio stations such as Hot 97 in New York.
Now in 2010, Emanny has a single entitled "Time Is Up" featuring Jadakiss, which he hopes to have the same success and more that his first release "All I Can Do" recieved. With 10 years of performing, songwriting, producing and recording listed in his book of experience, Emanny has performed and recorded with Patti Labelle, Gerald Levert, Billy Killman, James Taylor, Carl Thomas, Ginuwine, Joe Buddenand many more. Emanny says " I would love to be remembered as a person who always gave people music they can relate to and love at the same time. Most of all, I would want to be known not just as a singer, producer, or songwriter, but as a true musician.
