Fiamma got a fair amount of heat last week, from Grub Street and other food sites, about a reduced menu. But B.R. Guest which did not respond to Grub Street's requests for comments on the menu until yesterday vehemently disagrees. "No one had updated the Website," says owner Steve Hanson. "They just got lazy." We'd hate to be in their shoes now! Fiamma chef Fabio Trabocchi, meanwhile, explains that the confusion also lay in the fact that the Website wasn't showing his daily specials or updating the tasting menu. "If you came in and ordered here, it's the same amount of selections; you can choose from any part of the menu. It's the same amount of dishes, just listed in a different way," Trabocchi says. And those luxe ingredients we thought were missing from the menu? Not so, says Trabocchi. "We are using foie gras, truffles, Wagyu beef, ossabaw pig, and Grimaud Farm duck." (The langoustines, which we also mentioned as having gone missing, are out of season, Trabocchi explains.) Unfortunately for Fiamma, even a full menu can't sate complaining diners like Nick Paumgarten of The New Yorker. Earlier: Fiamma's Menu a Fraction of Its Former SelfREAD MORE »

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The idea behind IKEA
Economic development claims are bogus -- it's all about politics
Over the past couple of months, the energetic people at IKEA Canada have done their best to get Winnipeg excited about the opening of the chain's first Manitoban store.
As far as marketing efforts go, this wasn't exactly a tough task, given how many people in this city seem to care an awful lot about new brand names, franchises and big-box stores.
If you're not an obsessive shopper, the consumerism can seem a bit much. But there are 22 million reasons you should pay attention to the opening of an IKEA store.
Partly due to pandering, a wee bit out of cynicism and largely out of misguided economic-development policy, the city and province plied IKEA Canada and co-developer Fairweather Properties with $22 million worth of infrastructure subsidies to build a new big-box shopping district at what used to known as the Tuxedo Yards.
Back in 2007, when Mayor Sam Katz and former premier Gary Doer giddily announced IKEA was coming to Winnipeg, the deal was sealed with the help of what was originally pegged at $18.5 million worth of public funds.
At the time, the mayor and premier tried to characterize this subsidy as speeding up existing city infrastructure plans. This was an abject lie.
"The widening of Kenaston Boulevard and Sterling Lyon Parkway is already included in the city's Plan Winnipeg, but would be accelerated to accommodate IKEA's development plans," Katz and Doer said in a 2007 press release titled Province, city to accelerate capital plans as part of proposed IKEA site.
Winnipeg's capital plans, however, did not call for the $26.5 million worth of work that was eventually conducted. The specific work conducted by IKEA and Fairweather, which included new traffic signals and turning lanes to accommodate future shoppers, did not appear in the city's capital-budget forecast, the city's long-term transportation plan or even in Plan Winnipeg, the city's old long-term planning framework.
The political claim about speeding up nonexistent plans was made simply to avoid the appearance of looking like both governments were doling out straightforward development subsidies. Katz's office, to its credit, conceded as much when asked to demonstrate which existing city plan called for widening Kenaston to 12 lanes near a future IKEA store.
Doer's staff, however, insisted vague Plan Winnipeg language about economic-development incentives justified the political claim, even though the actual portion of Route 90 listed as the first priority for widening actually lies between Taylor Avenue in River Heights and Ness Avenue in St. James.
To be fair to Katz and Doer, they didn't have to make any ridiculous claim. Given the enthusiasm about an IKEA store in Winnipeg, they could have called a spade and spade and suffered no political fallout for eventually agreeing to pay back $22 million of the $26.5-million infrastructure tab.
By pandering to shoppers, who make up a large component of the electorate, Katz and Doer could do little political wrong. Spending money to bring IKEA to Winnipeg was deemed to be such a popular move, Katz highlighted the IKEA development during the 2010 civic election campaign as his main economic-development achievement and continues to do so. The NDP government, now led by Premier Greg Selinger, gave IKEA prominent play during last week's throne speech.
On Wednesday, city council's executive policy committee will meet 45 minutes later than usual to allow Katz and other officials time to attend the IKEA opening. The city is clearly proud of its role in stimulating the Tuxedo Yards redevelopment, which will include not just an IKEA, but other big-box stores and a mall called Seasons of Tuxedo.
The belief at city hall is the subsidy is a good deal, as the development will generate new property taxes. That opinion is based on the assumption there will be no drop in property-tax revenue or business taxes anywhere else in Winnipeg as a result of the IKEA-led development. That is possible but hardly certain, as it would be foolish to assume consumers will not change any shopping habits after IKEA and other nearby stores open.
As uncertain as IKEA's effects on the retail market may be, a subsidy for a furniture store does not represent a sound economic-development strategy. The next time a developer considers building retail in Winnipeg, will the city and province be just as willing to pony up for the infrastructure costs? Normally, it's up to developers to pay for the new roads, sewers and watermains.
Like it or not, the IKEA subsidy sets a precedent for retail-district development. The political math would assume the public simply does not care. And perhaps we would not, if the city and province had anything that remotely resembles an economic-development strategy.
The province has placed a lot of its eggs in CentrePort, the Winnipeg trade hub that competes with every other trade hub in North America. The city has left the task to the likes of Yes Winnipeg.
But there is nothing resembling real leadership from either Selinger or Katz when it comes to economic innovation. Both leaders, struggling as they are with a shortage of operating revenue, seem too preoccupied with budget headaches to worry about long-term strategies for their respective governments.
IKEA itself is a dubious beneficiary of a government subsidy. IKEA Canada and co-developer Fairweather already are extremely successful entities. And IKEA's parent entities are especially adept at minimizing their exposure to taxation around the world, thanks to a brilliant but byzantine ownership structure investigated over the past decade by The Economist. At the heart of the onion layers lies a charitable entity, the British magazine first reported in 2006.
IKEA nonetheless maintains a positive corporate image, untarnished even by the recent revelations of the use of prison labour by a supplier. To the brand's credit, IKEA accepted responsibility and apologized.
There is no reason to protest the opening of a new retail store at the former Tuxedo Yards. The total value of the overall development could be $400 million by the time it is complete. The location, between existing Tuxedo residential homes and Kenaston commercial buildings, cannot be accused of constituting sprawl.
And there are many, many Winnipeggers who feel a sense of pride when a new brand shows up in town, as shallow as that sentiment may be.
So, celebrate the arrival of IKEA if you like. Or don't shop there. Just don't assume this furniture chain's arrival says anything about Winnipeg's economic status.
Fairweather's brilliant Michael Nozick offered IKEA Canada a development deal the chain would have been foolish to refuse. The city and province sweetened the pot.
Time will tell whether the $22-million subsidy was worth it.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

And now to try and actually turn this into a semi-worthwhile discussion:
I believe there's no such thing as an Asian race. Only a human race.
Printable View
Found him: Asian Guy
Guess he finally figured out how to make a thread on Cosplayers.
So, are you saying this is not your opinion but that of your "buddy"? It's a really poor decision of you to consider someone like that person as a friend. Although I am no one to judge on who you make a friendship with.
But, really...as a person born in Asia and assuming you follow asian traditions. Your two posts put you to shame. Our traditions most publically and avidly emphasizes on being humble, being obedient and pay respect to others. There's a fine line between having pride on your country and ethnicity and then down right being racist.
Aren't you stereotyping the western society a little too much? Just because a few members of the Western world criticizes the things Asians have created doesn't necessarily mean that everyone single living soul thinks that way.
But, even so...what kind of grudge do you hold against westerners? And WHY do you pick such a irrelavent topic such as anime to declare that Asian is the best race? I mean its not like Anime is a solution to a world epidemic or something of that sort. I might as well say that your comparing us almost in the same set of values the Nazis had back in WWII.
And actually anime is influenced on western like characteristics...or else we would be seeing all animes characters in traditonal clothing rather than the western clothing. Neither would we being seeing english words in the anime, as a matter of fact a lot of the Asian languages have adopted english words.
And as Shizuka has said, a lot of anime characters are in fact based off western characteristics. Also, you mention saying that anime characters body type are based off of the Asian body type. I would have to respectfully disagree do to the fact that I have not yet seen any one, even Asians, having that physical kind of body type. It's not possible for the human body to have that kind of physical build to it, not naturally any ways. Now there are people that come close, how ever that is a mixed group of people from all around the world.
The anime body type we see is based off of what the concept of what looks attractive and sexy and cute to the human mind and this is what the artist draws up.
Grumble Grumble Grumble
1. This entire thread is rascist.
2. I'd like to see an Asian cosplay Afro from Afro Samurai.
3. This is just a way to boast about ethnicity, and it's insulting. I'm half Japanese, and I don't go spouting about it.
This is like telling Asians only white people can dress up for Halloween.
If I wasn't HALF WHITE TOO I would've never pulled this off. :deal:
The proof is not that far to look at since you can even see it on youtube, just type Anime Cosplay and you will mostly see Asian cosplayers EXCEPT if the video were made by someone to promote him/his self or his/her cosplay group. Not only that, most comments on there also said how it is Asian who look better cosplaying.

Two weeks ago, I was an emotional mess at a friend, and then things got better with his response because he's magical like that. Then I made plans, and then those plans got discarded, and then I made more plans, and then those, too, fell through. And each time my plans don't work out, it's a little harder. Continue reading

Have you read a book yet? Most of us dont give out recipes unless we know that the person we are talking to is experienced. With this being your first post I would suggest you stop by the introductions thread and say hi.
How much research have you done. Have you made any practice rounds without primer or powder yet? Not trying to be a jerk. It is just that reloading is a very rewarding and satisfying hobby if you know what you are doing. If you over charge a round and blow up a gun...not so much.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Welcome to FTF. Reloading info is component based. There isn't really a standard recipe. We need more info.
Assuming you have purchased a press you will need a reloading manual. Your recipe will be in the manual based off of the brand and type of powder you buy and bullet weight etc.
I don't need No stinking signature.
Thanks mountainman 13. I hope the FTF will help me to reload my .45 and 9 mm shells. And im looking forward to reloading and pistol shooting talk.
I do have a reloader. Its a Lee 1000 progressive reloader. But I only have .45 die's at this time. I also have a frankfort armory tumbler, and the abc's of reloading book.
I am wanting to reload the .45 to be a genral practice and target round. I was thinking like a 230 grain fmj. I will look for the book for the recipes. any suggestions on what book to look for?
I know of one place im my area that sells reloading supplies. The other one is about 1 hr 45 min away from me.
Buler, i can give you the recipe i use. may or may not work as well with your pistols. i use Power Pistol powder and 200 or 230 gr Hornady XTP' bullets. in mine i get very good accuracy. i can't remember the exact powder charge right off the top of my head, but i got it from the LEE load data book.
i order a lot of my components from either MidwayUSA or MidSouth Shooters Supply. i buy my powder and primers from my LGS, so i don't have to pay HazMat fees.
Ok, thanks ax. im looking on the web for bullets and the data book. My LGS has the powder and primers in stock.
I use 230 gr ball sitting on top of 6 gr unique. My 1911 seems to like 'em well enuff.
230 grain & 5grains of bullseye great practice load
200gr LSWC 4.9gr of WST.
You can thank me later.
Ok Buler. I just wanted to be sure you did your research. I use several diferent loads.
185 grain Berry's Plated Bullets with 4.9 grains of Titegroup.
200 grain lead cast flat point with 4.8 grains of Titegroup.
255 grain lead cast flat point with 3.9 grains of Titegroup.
All three loads are very acurate.

I was seeking a runner for my kitchen, which we just refurbished with several European colors. We wanted something that could be washed up readily but looked more "luxurious" than a cotton rug. We've had this down for a week now and it lays flat just fine. I love the non-slip backing, so no need for a separate rug pad. The rug does not have a high pile, and is just right for a high-traffic area. I'm waiting on the delivery of the smaller accent rug in this same pattern, but in the meantime, I'm ordering another runner to put away for sometime down the road when this one may wear out -- for the price and use, the quality is just fine! Wish they had one in this pattern big enough for the dining room.
I bought 2 of these City Heritage Multi Runners and the matching door mat. I love the slip-proof rubber backing that these already have. The colors are vivid without being over-powering. I also bought the Caravan Medallion Multi Rug (5' x 8') and they go so well together, they look like they belong to the same family.
These are comfortable to walk on and lay nicely on the floor without curling.
Colors and designs are great. I wish it had been thicker so the corners wouldn't turn upward.
Good product for the price point. Wish that the patterns showed a bit better but overall it was a good product
Very nice colors looks nice in kitchen
The color and design were exactly what I wanted. The only reason I gave it 3 stars rather than 5 is because it is too short. We all understand that 2x8 means slightly less than that, but this rug is under 7'
The colors are great, as is the quality of rug. It really looks wonderful in my hall. - This is the second one I purchased after getting one for my entry way.
Beatuiful colors, looks like the picture
Excellent price, excellent design, prompt delivery

Ideas Neded
I was given 9 skeins of Mary Maxim, white, Titan yarn and 2 of light green and one of light brown. I'm wondering about crocheting a lapghan - maybe a granny square pattern. Have any of you any other suggestions? I prefer to crochet, something, with it. We have cancer groups needing several pair of slippers but who wants white slippers? Even the pale green is too light to be serviceable.
I'm sure open to advice
Check out some charity sites for items they need..Binky patrol...hats for homeless....warm up America etc
nursing homes..wheel chair and walker totes VA hospitals
It will make you feel GREAT!!!!
Thanks for the sugestions. I have made 10 caps for the cancer clinic and either 30 or 35 for another organization that gives them to chemo patients. It certainly does give a good feeling.
Ironically, I started doing this before I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I'm thinking that a lapghan may be what I will do. This yarn is so heavy that I can't imagine scarves or caps from it. The nursing homes could certainly use lapghans I think.
Thanks for all the suggestions. It is much appreciated.

Slawta has created some of the most unique and ostentatious frame designs under his moniker Land Shark. Every time I see one of his works of art, I'm completely mesmerized, especially when neon paint is involved. Kyle recently shot this unique triple triangle track and I don't wanna give too much of it away, so you'll have to head over to Trackosaurus Rex to see the rest.
A while back, I gave Kyle from Tracko a Forestbound zippered pouch that was made from old M90 camouflage. Kyle and Bobby at Endo Customs made a pattern from that pouch, which was later used in the original Tracko vest.
Each year, Kyle sells a variation of his splinter camo, so this year, I asked if he'd want to do a collaboration. Pure and simple, this Blackened Splinter Camo jersey is just at home in the woods as it is on the road. Mix it with your favorite bibs, or the green Tracko splinter bibs…
Made in the USA by Endo Customs in Downtown LA, these jerseys are $135 plus shipping ($7 US and $15 international) and are in stock now. They will start to ship this week and will come with a replaceable zipper pull for those of you who don't like the metal zipper.
Scoop one up below. Sorry, Sold out!
If you've missed putting in a pre-order for Ramblin Rolls in the past, here's another chance. I have these on all of my bikes and wouldn't use anything else for a flat-fix kit.
Pre-order now at Tracko!
Well, he's not selling it himself and it's not your everyday bike. This one's dripping with Campagnolo Pista. The price is $1,100 complete, as shown on Tracko's Flickr. Head over to Tracko to see more details.
Tracko did a nice photo-comparison of the new Kryptonite Mini Evo Lite u-lock, versus the older Krypto Mini Evo. These locks are now available at your local bike shop, so head over and see for yourself. Don't forget to register your keys too!

… unless it's for fun. Have a great weekend, everyone. Great photo, Ace!
The ever so popular, yet impossible to order Ramblin Rolls are back up for pre-order. That means if you ordered them on the last run, yours is en route.
Head over to Tracko to get on that!
Man, there have been some great videos as of late!
"Tracko is for the children! Starring Andrew, Alberto, and Dermy. Watch Kyle take these kids through his old stomping grounds."
Nice one Ace!
Since everyone always misses out on these Ramblin Rolls, Kyle at Tracko and Yanco are doing a pre-order. Don't slack on this though, because it's limited to 100 spots with a six-week wait time. If all goes smooth, they'll keep doing this, every six weeks.
Head to Tracko now to pre-order a Ramblin Roll!
