A Dream Start for Scoot
Its delivery was delayed a couple of months, but Scoot's first Dreamliner (Boeing 787-9) aircraft – appropriately named Dream Start - was well worth the wait, says features editor John Newton, who was onboard the inaugural Perth-Singapore flight, along with the carrier's chief executive officer, Campbell Wilson.
The Singapore Airlines low-cost offshoot operated its first commercial Dreamliner flight on the Singapore-Perth-Singapore route this month, with heavy bookings on the advanced fuel-efficient aircraft that boasts wider and higher cabin space, less engine noise, funky mood cabin lighting, larger, electronically dimmable windows, bigger overhead luggage bins and four times the cabin moisture which, according to Scoot, means you'll arrive fresh and hydrated.

Vitamin D and Sun Protection
Most people spend their daylight hours indoors or in cars, and are therefore shielded from vitamin D forming light. We generally produce vitamin D when we enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, beach going, bike riding or sporting events.
Unfortunately for vitamin D production, these activities coincide with the use of sunscreens because they screen out up to 98% of these UVB rays.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'd love to add timelines to the wiki, but don't want them to be incomplete or incorrect. I also realize that something like an history about something like posteres can be subjective as you first must answer the question, "What is a Poster?" But, I thought this would make a fun exercise. A test if you will.
This timeline was created in 2000 for an essay I was writing about that very question mentioned previously. Let's see how this goes.
- - - - - - -
The History of the Printed Poster up to 1900.
Before Gutenberg
10,000 B.C. -- The Birth of Visual Communication can be traced to the cave paintings done during the Paleolithic age in Lascaux, France
105 A.D. -- Paper was discovered in China by Ts'ai Lun
79 A.D. -- The "advertisements" over the baths at Pompeii.
15th Century
1439 -- Johannes Gutenberg's creates the hand-operated press in Mainz, Germany.
1461 -- Mainz, Germany. Leaflets and Posters were printed for both sides during a feud between bishops. Supposedly the beginning of political posters and leaflets.
1470 -- First Publisher's catalogue printed as a poster by Peter Schöffer in Mainz.
1477 -- First advertisement printed by William Caxton. It announces an edition of Pyes of Salisbury.
1482 -- In Paris for Notre Dame in Rheims a message is posted promising that the faithful would all be forgiven their sins if they were to make an offering of money in church on the day of Pope Pius's visit. This poster was a Gothic woodcut with the Madonna as the patron of the church, the papal insignia and the coat of arms of the town of Rheims–possibly the first specimen of a text supported by illustration.
16th Century
1505 -- Etching was invented in Ausburg.
1517 -- Martin Luther posts his ninety-five theses for debate on the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg. Subsequently, his friends passed on copies to the printers to be reproduced, by December the whole of the continent knew of Luther's beliefs.
1518 -- The first wood engraving poster was printed in Rostock
1518 -- The archibishop of Mainz set up the first board of censors to supervise printing.
1520 -- The first playbill from a wood engraving also printed in Rostock
1539 -- Frances I of France found it necessary to issue an order on putting up posters.
17th Century
1653 -- A decree is sent out by the goverment in Paris forbidding, on pain of death, the printing and exhibition, or bill-posting, of posters without an official permit
18th Century
1722 -- In Paris the goverment tries yet again to control the posters.
1742 -- A new edict is issued which requires two copies of every bill or poster to be delivered up to the Royal Library.
1760 -- The Industrial Revolution begins in England.
1780 -- James Watt introduces the ability of steam power.
1798 -- Lithography is discovered by Alois Senefelder.
19th Century
1810 -- Frederick Koenig invents the powered printing machine thus enabling the truest form of mass production for man yet.
1838 -- Charles Dickens uses the word 'poster' in his book Nicholas Nickleby. Shortly thereafter it is accepted in the the English dictionary.
1845 -- Paul Gavarni produces the black and white lithographic poster Les Français. Together with Honoré Daumier, they attempt to produce posters with artistic merit.
1850 -- The power-operated press has been advanced enough to produce up to 10,000 sheets per hour
1867 -- Jules Chéret produces the color lithographic poster for the play La Biche au Bois starring Sarah Bernhardt
1868 -- Edouard Manet's black on white lithographic poster for the book Les Chats by Champfleury.
1871 -- Fred Walker prints the first British pictorial poster for Wilkie Collins' play and novel Woman in White. This is what is considered to be the first British poster with any artistic merit.
1895 -- Alphons Mucha prints his first poster for Sardou's play Gismonda.
These are probably dumb questions, but was paper invented or discovered? Also for a poster you wouldn't need movable type, so is there any evidence for 'block-book' style 'printed' posters pre movable metal type?
first specimen of a text supported by illustration
Unless you count the graffiti used for advertising in Rome BC, some of which were drawn on paper.
Si -- Good questions. Maybe from they discovered the final invention? Or they invented paper from the discoveries found? My research didn't include anything in Eastern Europe beyond Paper. So, there is a gap obviously.
Tim -- Where can we find more information about that? Sounds like an honest addition.
I have seen this before. I think it is in the book from the exhibit done in 1998 at the V&A on the History of the Poster.
Perhaps in addition to, or instead of, we could create good bibliographies on topics. This is my bibliography from the aforementioned essay.

Tim -- One thing to consider in regards to the grafitti. How does one define 'poster'? If by poster it has to be posted, or on a substrate of some sort before it is posted, does the grafitti count?
I think hand drawn posters qualify. Otherwise all of Toulouse-Lautrec's posters would not count.
Toulouse-Lautrec's qualify because of multiple production as well.
True, those litho stones are a bear though :-)
I would be willing to bet that there was grafiti in ancient Greeceand Rome--knowing how argumentative we Greeks can be, I'll bet there were political posters too.
"Vote for Nick Papas, for Uzo and Polytonic in each glass!" :-)
But by "poster" you mean a piece of paper that was posted, right? I think that is one thing that has to be in place before it can be counted as a "poster".
i borrowed a book from my school's library earlier this year called "The Modern American Poster" (released by MoMA in 1983), but i think it only covered the 20th century (and obviously just American works), so maybe that's not what you're looking for. nice book though.

Your point about at what time does a grafitto become a poster is a tricky one, much of the advertising in Rome was hand drawn in chalk directly onto walls, slaves might be sent out to write up a message on various prominent walls, rubbing out rival messages, to draw attention to the message they included borders and sometimes an image, the advertisements were for political campaigns (including games, circuses and bread), products (olives, olive oil, garum etc), more personal services (to use a euphemism) and so on plus ça change; also wooden boards would be used for more permanence, however, for quality control, some campaigns were copied onto paper (papyrus, I imagine vellum or parchment would be prohibitively expensive) by a scriptorium and then posted. I suppose all of these would in some way be posters, in that they serve the same purpose and have the longevity as a more modern poster, I suggest that the medium is less important than the message on the wall in the definition of poster, especially to the patron.
Good analysis TimD! I think you are right.
On a lighter note--Maybe those "more personal services" you spoke of is what started the movie rating system we now use. Three Roman Numeral Xs might have begun as the asking price for such a personal service :-)
> 1505 — Etching was invented in Ausburg
Tiffany -- is that Ausburg or Augsburg?
I am less familiar with Ausburg but have visited Augsburg several times.
A wonderful book that adds quite a bit to the history of 'posters' is Public Lettering: Script, Power, and Culture by Amando Petrucci, Univ. of Chicago Press, 1993. Petrucci uses the city of Rome as a case in point for the history of publically displayed script. The primary period discussed is late medievael through the mid-20th century, but with frequent reference to ancient practice. Chapter 7—Ephemeral Monumental and Paper Monumental—is particularly pertinent.
I recently got that book Charles. I like the inscriptionary history aspect.
According to Creative Type, this poster from 1894 made such an impact that Art Nouveau is sometimes referred to as Salad Oil Style in Holland.
That is an interesting site Tim. I had to bookmark your link.
Just my random inconsequential question:
Meggs (Third Edition) shows Senefelder inventing lithography in 1796 instead of 1798. Anyone know which is the correct date? Perhaps the idea came to him in '96 and he made it happen two years later? Sorry, I won't claim to be a history buff, I should probably know this stuff!
I quickly checked a few sources and both dates are given. What everyone agrees on is that Senefelder did not publish his results until 1818 after he had obtained protection for ownership of the process.
Another thought about the history of posters. Both papermaking and printing were invented in China. Printing of decrees, laws, etc. permitted wide distribution across China's vast administrative reaches, and with less possibility for scribal error.
Rubbings were the first form of printing on paper. Since c. 175 CE, important decrees, texts, scriptures, poems, and pictures were inscribed on wood, bronze, and stone. Then copies, made by rubbings and ink transfer, were distributed on paper. Some of these transfers were certainly meant for posting in public.
One of the principal subject matters of Ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints was actors and scenes from Kabuki theatre.
Were those prints ever posted in public?
I hope someone has a concrete answer for that—I'm curious myself. With the amount of work people like Hokusai were producing, I'd have to imagine some of it was posted in public. I'm going to add a tangent to your question—hopefully someone has an answer to both!
Much of the woodblock prints were used for book illustration. How many people would have actually had access to these books? It seems like a waste if all of this great work was unknown to the public.
I just remembered another very good book.
Sherraden, Jim, Elek, Horvath, and Paul Kingsbury. Hatch Show Print, Nashville, Tenn. : the history of the great American poster shop. San Francisco : Chronicle Books, c2001. Details the history of Nashville's Hatch Letterpress shop that has been producing posters since 1879. Not a lot of high style here but tons of hand cut wood and lino lettering and both wood and metal type.
Chris, if you liked that check out these
Great links Tim! THANKS!
Ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints
Five or six years ago I saw a Japanese film, a drama, about an artist who made such prints (Hokusai had a bit part). It was brilliant, one of the best films about art, but I can't remember the name. It was set towards the end of the Edo era, c. 1830s, I believe.
Anyway, it recreated the theatre district, and showed the print shops as stores which had their wares hung outside to attract passers-by.
@ Norbert: That is probably a typo. How embarassing.
@ Charles: The "Public Lettering" book is an excellent addition. Same with the "Hatch Show".
@ All: So you think that as long as it was on another substrate, not directly on the wall, it should be considered a poster? I think I agree with that.
Well, there's also enamelled tin signs.
And advertising billboards, which may be either painted or printed.
And back-lit adverts.
BTW, check out Michele Bogart's "Artists, Advertising, and the Borders of Art".
I think your definition is, on the whole, good enough, (grafitti timeline will have to wait Pre-history to Banksy?). I am interested to know why you stopped at Mucha, although I would class his work as the acme of the 19th century. I would also be interested to know when the poster became a cheap artwork for the public, did it start with people stealing posters from the walls?
Tim, fin-de-siecle printers did multiple editions of eg Mucha posters, at smaller sizes.
But that fit into the tradition of fine art prints (often engravings of paintings) that were kept in "portfolios", not books.
It would have been hard to steal posters if they were glued to walls.
Bogart's book is good on the poster-or-art issue c.1900.
Calendars were a related art form.
Maxfield Parrish's paintings (1920s) were beautifully printed in special colors, distributed via calendars, but subsequently framed and mounted in homes. These same images had started life in adverts and posters (with product ID), but he kept the copyright.
Good information thanks,
It would have been hard to steal posters if they were glued to walls.
But not impossible, I treasured the Ramones one that I took off a wall very slowly in the rain one night (yes, it did rip in the last 6 inches) :)
I wanted to add a couple of books to the list
@ Tim: Nice additions. The first is already in the list--which I can't edit for some reason--but that second isn't and I love his work!
Bit of a bump

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Publishers Weekly02/25/2013
All the women want him and all the men fear him. The murder by arson of hunky Daryl Graham shatters his Queens, NY, community, including the suspects: Krystal, an ex-flame and schoolteacher whose passion for Daryl can't match her insatiable desire for drugs; her cocaine-dealing fiancé; Connie, a sex-starved house frau who's let herself go to pot; her husband Avery who kicks her out to set off on a life of crime; and 21-year-old brainiac Benny whose womanizing firefighter dad wonders what kind of influence Daryl wielded over his son. Weber (The Choir Director) packs his latest urban soap opera with all seven deadly sins in a bawdy mystery that doesn't take its flawed characters too seriously. The villains and heroes, each given their own, rotating perspectives, are a hot mess—alternately coldly selfish and admirably selfless. Though an unlikely twist gives everyone exactly who and what they deserve, fans will likely suspend belief for the tidy bow on this flashy little package. After all, to err is not only human, but a whole lot more fun to read. (Feb.)

See the light
Thank you for your article on fluorescent/incandescent light bulbs. (See: "Unwilling to make the switch, shoppers stockpile old bulbs," Jan. 2) The new lights put out a light that is as irritating as the halogen lights on automobiles.
I have 32 can lights in my home which are 18 years old, and have replaced only one can light and three 30-, 70-, 100-watt light bulbs. I don't see the problem with the old bulbs, and the new ones are dangerous if they break.
I only bought one of the new ones and it lasted six months. What's wrong with our government?

16 Nov 2011 22:49 GMT | Europe, Bosnia, Serbia
A UN war crimes court has ordered Bosnian Serb ex-army chief Ratko Mladic to undergo a full medical examination following his failure to appear at a hearing last week.Presiding judge Alphons Orie on Wednesday ordered a detailed report to be submitted to the Hague-based court by December 6, two days ahead of the ex-general's next scheduled appearance."The chamber orders the registry to have a complete medical examination of the accused conducted," Orie said in a statement.A full report will help pre-trial judges to "better assess whether and to what extent his health condition could affect preparation for the upcoming trial," he said.Also, it will help judges understand Mladic's "actual current condition" when they have to evaluate and decide on future motions or requests made on this topic, the judge said.Orie ordered that doctors probe Mladic's overall health, look at any specific health conditions, their severity and length and the treatment he has received since arriving at a UN detention unit in The Hague at the end of May.The man dubbed "The Butcher of Bosnia" last week failed to appear for a hearing before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), where he faces 11 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for his role in the Balkans country's 1992-95 war.
Masterminding murderMladic, 69, who was supposed to plead to an additional charge relating to the murder of 30 Muslims in Bosina in eastern Bosnia in 1995, told judges he was "too ill to appear".He has complained of illness since his first appearance before the tribunal in early June, following his arrest in northeastern Serbia after spending 16 years on the run.Accused in particular of masterminding the murder of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995, Mladi repeatedly asked to be examined by Serbian doctors, with ICTY chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz saying last month that his health was "an area of concern."The court's spokeswoman declined to give further information Wednesday after announcing on November 9 that Serbian doctors would examine Mladic this week.His Belgrade-based lawyer Milos Salic said he was hospitalised in October with pneumonia.Mladic's former mentor, former Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic, died in his cell at the ICTY detention centre in March 2006 as his trial was nearing its end.Mladic's own trial is expected to start next year.

Traveling with frozen foods to beach vacation
If your food is firmly frozen, you should not have any problems. The ice block of beef will act as a cooling agent for the frozen chicken/lasagna/etc. Yearly we drive 1000 miles from Arizona to Northern California for a month at the beach. Our drive is hot. Every single time we arrive and unpack, the food in a cooler filled with frozen food is still rock-hard. Frozen solid.
Edit: great point, Raffles and wekick, about pre-chilling the cooler. I use milk jugs filled with water that live in the extra freezer. Overnight with 4-6 of these will yield a cold cooler for your trip.

Creme de Lys VS Belcreme de Lys, info please
Ddysert, Second favorite chard, name please? As I stated earlier, I am disappointed by the "unanswer" I received from corporate. Telling me that wine tastes different from vintage to vintage is talking down to someone who has been a wine drinker for many years. This patronizing communication style is a poor way to keep a heretofore loyal customer base.
Creme de Lys VS Belcreme de Lys, info please
ddysert, finally, I did receive an answer, a standard corporate answer. To paraphrase, "we simply like the new name better, it reflects our wine more precisely ... "
I am disappointed. My question passed through three different people and I feel like it was shuffled off to the Standard Answer department.
Creme de Lys VS Belcreme de Lys, info please
Almost two weeks have passed after the initial "someone will get back to you" answer from my request. I sent a follow up today and hope to hear something.
Meanwhile, I have tried the Belcreme de Lys and do not like it as much as my old friend. There is a harsh first taste ... Wish that someone had followed the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" dictum.
I will post when I have an answer.
ISO Reference Cookbook(s) - Good and Bad?
TWELVE RECIPES by Cal Peternell.
A chef at Chez Panisse for more than twenty years, Peternell wrote this book for his son when he left home for college. Dad realized that, although they often cooked together, he had never taught his sons HOW to cook. They could accomplish kitchen chores but did not have the basic knowledge necessary to really cook.
Thebook is relatively new so hasn't received a lot of attention. Suffice it to say that I will be buying copies for my sons. I have found it to be a wealth of information. Peternell gives a basic recipe and many variations including changing main ingredient, cooking method and flavorings.
In a chatty fashion, Peternell walks you through the steps of constructing a dish, suggests accompaniments and is never condescending or preachy. I love the photos of him in his home kitchen because it shows his battered, well-used batterie de cuisine instead of staged perfection. This is real-life cooking chock full of ideas, hints and accomplished wisdom.
Edit: re-reading all the comments, I noticed that I missed the request for step-by-step photos of the process. 12Recipes, while it does have photos, does not have the requested step-by-step photos. If this is a deal-breaker, I fear you will have to skip this extraordinary book. That would be the sole down side to 12 Recipes. All in all, I still recommend it very highly.

Seeking durable kitchen pot holders, the kind you can use for really hot pots and pans
OP here. I ordered both the Ritz and San Jamar potholders. Ritz have not yet arrived but the Crew Ware (the San Jamar label) did. Nothing would do but that I cook an oven dinner. 450 degree oven, roasted a couple of chickens and am very pleased to report that these pot holders are great! A tag attached to the P H states " protection up to 500 F, intermittent heat resistance".
I called the Webstruant live chat line to inquire about the meaning of "intermittent heat resistance" since it raised flags for me. Explanation = up to 30 seconds of heat resistance, may be longer.
I carried the hot chicken roasting pan for over two minutes as test and am very happy that I never felt even 'warm'. A friend was here cooking with me and we agreed that these are a keeper. Next test includes a pizza steel that normally heats for an hour at 550 degrees. I am hopeful.
Meanwhile, my thanks to all for your productive advice. I appreciate that you took the time to respond.
Edit: I should state that these P Hs come in brown, no other color available. If a color-coordinated kitchen is important, you will have to make another choice. Chocolate brown is it.
Seeking durable kitchen pot holders, the kind you can use for really hot pots and pans
I had never heard of webrestaurant store and am delighted to have this resource. I ordered the 12 pack because they state 500 degrees VS the usual 200-300 degree level. The shipping is $$$ but it still works out well. Thanks for the info and new shop.
Seeking durable kitchen pot holders, the kind you can use for really hot pots and pans
I ordered four of these and will see how it goes. I also ordered a dozen (see post below) that will go to 500 degrees and will do a comparison. Thanks for the answer. You are usually right on target.

Seeking durable kitchen pot holders, the kind you can use for really hot pots and pans
I will start by admitting that I rarely use pot holders, preferring towels, a holdover from restaurant days. But I have lots of friends and family who cook in my kitchen and expect pot holders. My latest purchase - SLT - do not block heat well. Although they are double thickness, it is impossible to hold anything very hot for any length of time.
Some old pot holders were much more efficient, alas they have holes and are destined for the rag bag. Who has great experience buying pot holders that really work? I would appreciate hearing the 'who what, where, when & how' of your successes. Color is not important to me, efficiency is foremost.
does silence on an rsvp mean they aren't coming ?
You have been given some very valuable information about these family members who did not respond. Tuck it away. Always believe what people tell you about themselves - whether they use words or actions matters not.
The "why" they have not responded does not matter much, at this point. You will learn more as time passes and sometimes the family dynamics are complicated. Meanwhile, do what many have suggested, spend an hour on the telephone politely inquiring about their plans to attend. Do not be put off with vague "we're not sure ..." Since you need a head count but it is not necessary to explain that, simply say "I'm sorry, we'll miss you" and move on to the next call. Since this is your family, and you know the players, I would be especially firm with those you know to be pushy. Never forget the power of "It's not possible" when met with resistance or shilly-shally answers that always include "well, maybe ..."
I hope that you have a wonderful party. When it is over, take a breather. You've got a lot to deal with right now.

Experience puts me solidly in the olive wood camp. I bought some flat-bottom "spoons" in France close to fifty years ago and still use them daily. No brand name, just great quality.
What To Make With Leftover Prime Rib?
You could make a pseudo boeuf bourguignon, cooking the veg and making sauce in advance of adding the beef and cook only until the meat is warmed through. Taste as you go, before adding the meat.
Thinly sliced beef, sauteed mushrooms + sour cream = a sort-of Stroganoff
Beefy pot pie, use the bourguignon idea of cooking all the veg and adding beef just before popping in the oven to brown top crust.
Any juice/drippings/gravy? That's a goldmine of flavor. Bits of beef, some juice tossed w/caramelized onions and pasta for a very quick supper. Top w/grated cheese and a fresh herb of choice.
If you have any of the rib bones, please make devilled bones! Brush with a garlicky Dijon mixture (splash of red wine vinegar too). Roll in buttered bread crumbs, broil until golden. These absolutely must be eaten with your hands!
Thin slices of beef could be made into spring rolls along with cucumber, scallions, carrots and cilantro. Ginger soy dipping sauce.
Shredded beef mixed with a good red sauce and stuffed for cannelloni, top w/bechamel.
Let me know if you want more. This ought to get you started.

Creme de Lys VS Belcreme de Lys, info please
Thank you for such a complete, concise and helpful answer. I remain puzzled about the name change and have not yet opened a bottle of the 'new, improved' belcreme de lys. Tomorrow will be test night. Again, I am very appreciative of your response.
Creme de Lys VS Belcreme de Lys, info please
We have enjoyed Creme de Lys as our sunset happy hour Chardonnay for several years. It's one of our favorite 'everyday' inexpensive Chards. When I went to Total Wine for another case I was told there is no such wine.
No one seemed to know why there had been a name change nor did they have any in stock. I've tried googling both names and only come up with retail sites, never the winery. Even the website www.belcremedelys.com directs me to an e-store that does not have information other than ordering. Does anyone know anything about this wine? Winery? Reason for the name change?
Looking for a magazine for my 80+ dad, not too adventurous
Don't know why I didn't think of this sooner ...
Smitten Kitchen is basic but not boring
The writings of Michael Ruhlman and David Lebovitz are another possibility. Each offers recipes, Ruhlman with scientific explanations and Lebovitz is in Paris so the accent is decidedly French.
I also thought that you could send him ideas/recipes and an ingredient that he might not have in his kitchen. EX: a jar of dried dill to accompany sour cream-dill meatballs, or tumeric for a yellow rice recipe.
It is marvelous that an 80+ year old is interested in expanding his kitchen repetoire. Good on him!

Your post reminded me of a wonderful gift I received as a bride, first apt together, etc. a wise friend gave me rags saying "New brides never have rags; sterling flatware but no rags!" She was so right! She also gifted us with supper in completely disposable containers so no returns were necessary -- fried chicken in a shoe box and potato salad in a coffee can.

Yearly, we are invited to a Christmas Open House hosted by a husband-wife local business team. Hours are stated on the invitation. Since it is an Open House, we are usually at least an hour later than the first time stated. Last year, for any number of reasons, we arrived just a bit after the stated hour and the entire facility was full! I was astounded that about four hundred people could arrive simultaneously and have already homesteaded tables and chairs.
Nope. Our hosts explained that the 'early birds' began arriving about 1.5 hours before the invitation time. Since it is a business party, they grinned and did the best they could while caterers maneouvred around milling guests who rudely began piling plates from the incomplete buffet.
This coming year, the hosts will keep the doors closed (locked) and include some wording on the mailed invitations to indicate that entry will not be before the stated hour.
To me, this early arrival behavior is the height of rudeness and I cannot comprehend it. As host, I would have thrown in the towel long ago, deciding that these free-loaders deserve neither my time, nor my food and drink, nor my continued hospitality.
I commend you on your patience and goodwill. Definately, you are a kinder person than I am, grrrrr. Makes my teeth grind just thinking about your situation.
Edit: Can you possibly change the location? Hire a 'bouncer' to keep the gate secure? Mention that invitations must be shown to verify the guest list? Having a non-family member, i.e. hired person, be the bad guy is the best solution while setting up, you and your family need to be out of sight.

Never have I been so baffled: Mama's House of Horrors
Kater, I am also in the 'whatthehell' camp re: Mama's Fish House as you can see from the above-referenced post. I have another one that predates this 2006 post but cannot access it on CH, likely it is too old. Neither is at all complimentary. I was roundly trounced, called a cheapskate and other names indicating that I must have grown up without indoor plumbing and wouldn't know a decent meal if it bit me. I simply do not understand the love. Will leave Mama's to all her fans and they are legion.
Edit: We also experienced 'overcooked fish' among other banal items. Much ado about nothing (excepting a very pretty beach location). I had honestly hoped that someone at Mama's was reading the reviews and might have done something about the negatives. From your post, that does not sound like it happened.

Language Intelligence: Lessons on Persuasion from Jesus, Shakespeare, Lincoln, and Lady Gaga
CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Jul 1, 2012 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 230 pages
Joseph Romm, one of Rolling Stone magazine's top "100 Agents of Change," has focused his talents on helping us all to increase our Language Intelligence and to better understand the art of persuasion. Romm demonstrates that you don't have to be an expert to vastly improve your ability to communicate. He has pulled together the secrets of the greatest communicators in history to show how you can apply these tools to your writing, speaking, blogging - even your Tweeting. The book also looks at the language intelligence of President Obama and Governor Romney.Nothing could be more relevant in 2012 as Americans prepare to make vital choices in the upcoming elections. Language Intelligence not only will prepare you to be a much more memorable and persuasive communicator, it will also help you to understand the tricks of the trade used -- and misused -- by candidates on the stump.With a few easily digestible and memorable concepts, Language Intelligence also offers readers an indispensible roadmap for today's political and pop culture landscape. "For anyone who seeks to understand why Lady Gaga's music has become a global phenomena or how to avoid 'Etch-a-Sketch' moments, this book is for you," said Romm.

The aim of the project was to create a print set who would advertise textile company Grund. We have created a set that includes 5 various cases for that are different color and different hole. In each case there is a catalog of products and a two-side poster. For each one of the five collections I have created a typography that presents the character of the whole collection. And all those mentioned media prints are kept in one big package that is divided into 5 parts where each part has its own distinctive typography for collection. This way, all the collections combined into one name. The project was created in cooperation with the Czech studio Pixl-e (http://pixl-e.cz/).
