Wil Anderson - Host
Wil Anderson is a renowned stand-up comedian who brings his inimitable talents to hosting The Gruen Transfer. Those of you with longer memories might know him as "the bloke who sat in the middle" on the ABC's The Glass House for five years or "the one who didn't know anything about maths" on the much-loved Triple J Breakfast show or even "that bloke who hosts Spicks And Specks". (That last one is actually Adam Hills, but he does get mistaken for Adam a lot.)
His first book, 'Survival Of The Dumbest' [Random House] spent, like, forever on the bestseller list. His latest show, Man Vs Wil, has been selling out comedy venues around the country in 2011.
Even though he has spent the majority of his adult life working at the ABC he has watched heaps of ads, and even appeared in a couple. Whore.

Langtang Valley
The whole trek was fabulous!Catherine Bernsley
Trek was absolutely incredible. Amazing experience which I shall never forget!
Thank YouGebrille Stenek
Langtang Trekking in April
We found our guide sitaram to be flexible and had a good feeling for people and their differing needs. He was not pushy but when required he let us know what was needed. His local knowledge was good and we had no problem with his English.
The porters Indra, Ram and Dhan were extremely helpful and were also great with children. We had a great time and were looked after in a fantastic manner. We will recommend you all to our friends.
Frances Stanek
Langtang Trekking
Excellent trek my first in Nepal. Sitaram the guide was very helpful, pleasant and answered all questions with informed answers. Very good English. He had a nice sense of humor and was patent with our slow pace. The porters did excellent job. Again they were helpful. Dhan was also very friendly and hard working. Ram was also helpful, young and shyer.
I would suggest that we are given an itinerary with distances, rough times and where we are going to stay. This would have been helpful. Also advice about what is available in nuts – eg ability to change.
It was a wonderful experience! We will be back with the rest of my family.
Tamsin Travers
Langtang Valley Trek
This was an awesome trip. We had been once before in the lower region of Annapurna but this trip was special. Puru was very quick in emailing and answering my many questions. The trip was well organized. Our guide Sitaram was very flexible and very patient.
He was very knowledgeable about the area and was happy to answer questions. The children were also happy, relaxed which may be he would have told us more in more detail what would be happening the next day. He did when we asked that was good. The porters were always polite, seemed happy and relaxed.
All in all an excellent trek, we would back in the "Above the Himalaya" again.Peter Stanek
Ghorepani Poon Hill - April
It was a very beautiful trek. Very happy with our tour guide
and porter. They both were very professional and friendly. I would definitely
recommended your company to family and friends.
Anna Tkaczyk
Everest Base Camp Trek - April
The services of guide and porter were good. They were above my expectations. They were responsible, helpful, friendly, and punctual. Thank you very much for the services. The agency is well organized with fast replies. I would definitely recommend its services. We felt very safe all the time. I also liked the food recommendations for best health during the trekking.
The schedule was perfect, well organized. I would like to thank all for the amazing experience.
Thank you so much Puru, Purna and porter.
Fernanda Ribeiro Silva
Everest Base Camp
I was very impressed by the professionalism. Our guide Purna provides us a great service, always very helpful and ready to answer all our questions. I felt very safe during the trekking; Purna was very attentive all the time, especially in tricky mountains. I am very happy about having chosen "Above the Himalaya", I am 100% satisfied. Our porter was lovely, very friendly and helpful too.
Thank you for providing us an amazing holiday!! Thank you for Puru for replying too many doubts so quickly via email before the trek. Your arrangements were perfect; we did not worry about thinking.
Thank You
Andre Barbosa De Arauso
EBC Trek
Loved our Himalayan Adventure. Our guide Basu was very knowledgeable, friendly helpful and really looked after us. We were able to trust him why he is very important. He also has a great sense of humor and he had quite a few laughs together. His English was also very good and we had no trouble communicating.
Our porter Bikram was also very good, polite and hard working. He looked after me when Basu had to look after my sick husband and did a very good job. His English was also good.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday.
Clare Cox
Everest Base Camp Trek March-April
Very impressed and happy with email communication prior to coming to Nepal. Puru always answered emails quickly and very helpful. Basu was fantastic guide- he was always looking after us especially when we got sick. He has good trust and confidence in him.
Impressed that we seemed to get some of the better rooms in the better tea houses/lodges. Happy that Basu tried to get toilet/bathroom in our room.
Very good tour and "best" guide. Bikram was also good porter-very polite.
A big thank youPeter Cox
Annapurna Circuit Trek - Nepal
We enjoyed our trek immensely. Phurba is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was also very flexible with our requests and questions. Ram and sunil our porters were very hard working and friendly. I will recommend this trek and company to my friends. Many thanks
Roger Phillips
Annapurna Circuit
Phurba Sherpa was an excellent guide and Ram and Sunil did a great job as our porters. Phurba was extremely attentive for the entire trip and took very good care of us both on the trail and each stop for the night. He always took our orders at the hotel and helped communicate to the hotel staff. We really enjoyed in the trail and hope to trekagain with him in the future. Thanks Phurba
Alen Bernstein
Annapurna Circuit Trek
The Annapurna circuit trek with Phurba, Ram and Sunil was excellent! Phurba is an excellent, patient and knowledgeable guide. He was a great leader throughout the 8 days. He gave us lots of options on the trail and picked the best accommodation for us. I highly recommend Phurba and team to others.
Tiernan Mennen
Annapurna Circuit Trek in March
Annapurna Circuit March 18 to April 3 , 2014I started my web based trekking inquiries with another Katmandu trekking company. Because communication with this company was sporadic and unclear I switched to Above the Himalaya. Puru answered each email inquiry promptly and clearly. Skype was also used. I explained to Puru my idea of doing the Annapurna circuit on a solo basis. It was a risky journey for me. I'm am 65 years old, with post cancer and post heart attack. So why would I choose this challenging trip?......Because I needed this challenge?
Puru matched me with guide/porter Suresh. We travelled together for 15 days. I was free as a bird to listen and watch all around me because Suresh took care of all the details that might stress a foreign trekker. He carried my backpack, knew the quiet and clean lodges,expedited the meal orders, ensured tea stops and took care of all the paperwork at police checkpoints. These things were not my concern. He was my mentor in the ways of Nepali custom. I have the feeling that travelling in large groups takes away from connection with the local environment. Travelling by myself I was more inclined to hear and see all the subtleties around me. I remember the language and moods of Nepali village people, the smells of the pine forest, the spring flowering trees, the aromas of incense and simmering curries, the roar of wind and rivers.
Yes I took away more than I expected from this journey. It was a challenging trek. but the satisfaction and educations I received was priceless! Without the support of AHT the journey would not have worked for me. Always, I felt safe and cared for. THANK-YOU AHT
The upper Pisang to Manang was a favourite section, Stops in Kalopani and Sikha would make a more leisurely pace
Extra night in Pokara was an interesting addition, I travelled the same route with like minded solo Trekkers for several days. We shared daily experiences over evening meal
Annapurna Base Camp Trek
More than the trekking I enjoyed the company of Mr. Phurba, Nima, Sunil, Krishna and Pralhad and their excellent service. They made sure our trip goes well and took care of each and everything. The best people I have met in Nepal. I will remember this trip forever. I am sure I couldn't have completed this trek without their help. I can't forget their ever smiling face. Thanks to Mr. Puru for making all bookings and arrangements for us. Hope to travel with this team again. Thanks a lot and goodluck to aal of you.
Thanks and best Regards

Tour guide, Phurba along with our porters Krishna, Neema, Pralhad and Sunil, took great care of us. All of them are hospitable and very nice people. For 5 days they took very good care of us. Right from the beginning to end they were with us helping us with our needs and guiding us when required. They never ate till all of us were full and finished. They introduced us Nepal culture and made sure we are very well taken care off.
Mr. Phurba, amazing person is all I can say. On so many occasions felt or some of us felt we can't joit, he took our bags and motivated us to complete the whole trek.
Mr. Puru please specifies the equipment required for the trek as we were not, prepared for -5 and our friend struggled with shoes which you approved.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

The Sundance Channel had planned to start an all-documentary network, but thanks to the soured economy, they've put that scheme on ice. Instead they've assembled a new weekly programming block called "DocDay," which kicks off next month with a one-hour special recapping the year in documentaries. Sundance will then run docs from noon to midnight every Monday, anchored by a number of impressive TV debuts, including Alex Gibney and Eugene Jarecki's persuasive The Trials of Henry Kissinger (March 3), which played at Film Forum last year, and Ra'anan Alexandrowicz's The Inner Tour (March 31), about a group of Palestinians touring Israel, which tied for No. 7 in this year's Voice film poll.
Meanwhile, fledgling arts channel Trio has chosen documentaries as a way to aggressively define themselves in the ever more cramped cable-TV landscape. Their nightly prime-time series 9 Sharp features U.S. TV debuts of docs with a pop-culture twist, such as the entertaining five-part conspiracy-theory documentary made by journalist Jon Ronson, The Secret Rulers of the World, broadcast this week (February 17-21), and Easy Riders, Raging Bulls (March 9), a film about '70s filmmakers that just premiered at Slamdance. Trio president Lauren Zalaznick, who spent many years at VH1 developing shows like Pop-Up Video, believes these programs are cool enough to be the linchpin of her channel.
So how did documentaries trade their dowdy reputation for mainstream chic? Many people credit HBO's generous budget, marketing savvy, and eclectic mix of sexy (Taxicab Confessions) and somber (The Carpet Slaves: Stolen Children of India) with making the notion of a "hot documentary" more than an oxymoron. Over the last decade, almost every other cable channelfrom Bravo and IFC to Court TV and Oxygenjumped on the bandwagon as digital technology made reality filmmaking cheaper than ever before. But nonfiction television runs the gamut from infotainment to cinema verité, and most of the stuff you see on cable doesn't bear much resemblance to classic documentary work à la Frederick Wiseman. As the Sundance Channel's Paola Freccero points out, "A lot of channels use it as a brand-defining platform for themselves. There's a formula that people come to recognize on Discovery or A&E's Biography, and that formula works for themit's a comforting place for viewers to go to get the information and entertainment they want. There really isn't anywhere in the U.S. television landscape that gives you totally formula-free nonfiction filmmaking."
Unless, of course, you invoke those three ominous letters: PBS. Back in the Mesozoic era, before Hoop Dreams and The Real World and J.Lo at Sundance, PBS was pretty much alone in its commitment to screening serious documentaries on television. "We like to say PBS was the original Independent Film Channel," Lois Vossen of ITVS chuckles. Her organization has been producing documentaries for PBS series like P.O.V. and Frontline for 13 years, and now they've been given their own series on public television. Independent Lens will alternate seasons with P.O.V., airing on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. for 29 weeks of the year.
Since ITVS will continue to produce content for other PBS shows, Vossen says they'll have to squash the temptation to keep all the best stuff for Independent Lens. "There's definitely a tendency to want to do that, but certain films really are better for P.O.V. or American Experience, and the more films that get on other shows, the more slots we have for other ITVS projects." Somehow they'll have to hold back enough sensational documentaries to make Independent Lens more than just a B-list version of P.O.V.
Judging by the starting lineup, Independent Lens looks quirky, uneven, and entertaining. Chic Angela Bassett introduces each show, as if to reinforce the series' pleasurable intentions. Jamie Meltzer's Off the Charts, which ran last week, balanced amusement and empathy as it burrowed into the eccentric world of the song-poem industryamateur poets send their scribblings and money to a distant post office box, then hack musicians make bizarre songs out of them. One of the highlights: Caglar Singeltary, a young man from Elmira who worships Annie Oakley, showing off his kung fu moves to the tune of his oddball masterpiece, "NonViolent Tae Kwon Do Troopers."
In coming weeks, the series will screen an eclectic mix of personal and social commentary. On the light side, Nancy Kelly's Downside Up (February 25) offers a somewhat flaky view of North Adams, Massachusetts, the post-industrial town where she grew up, which has been gradually gentrified by the arrival of Mass MOCA, the new art museum. Heather Courtney's Los Trabajadores is much strongera quietly wrenching story about migrant workers trapped in Austin's booming economy who take control of their day-labor center to prove their good intentions (March 25). Best of all is Strange Fruit, Joel Katz's stellar film about Billie Holiday, the iconic song, and its historical context (April 8).

Are you ready to read a refreshingly honest interview with an interior decorator? I encourage you to read this interview that I had yesterday with interior decorator Jan Eleni Lemonedes from Jan Eleni Inc. in New York City. She speaks boldly and from an authentic place and I really value the time that I shared with her to develop this feature for you. I hope that you like it, too.
First, a bit of history about this talented lady. Jan once had a little shop in the 90's in New York City's east village also under her name. About her store she told me, "It was quaint with unique decorative pieces for the home and garden and became a creative outlet for me." She offered an eclectic mix of early primitive with industrial pieces, along with garden and architectural elements. A lady who loves to "hunt", she filled her shop with anything and everything that caught her eye and her husband also maintained a loft for her to keep her ever-rotating stock. She calls this period in her life, "A fun time." But then she was approached by ABC Carpet + Home and went to work there. "It was a different ball game then I was used to. A sort of crazy arena – but where anything was possible – we had to fight for our ideas, it was wonderful to be part of a creative team," Jan told me. She eventually left the company to spend more time with her little girl, "It was a hard decision – but one that I don't think twice about."
So now that you have some history, let's talk to Jan about her work.
Holly: Why did you decide to decorate for a living?
Jan: I am a self taught designer and at a young age I always loved and appreciated beautiful things. I became obsessed with children's spaces here in the U.S. because I felt like their were all these cookie cutter rooms that lacked any nourishment for an imagination – and so I started a business based around just that – creating spaces and really listening to what can nurture children in an everyday way.
Holly: I also noticed that in addition to decorating, you are also an artist. Can you tell us more?
Jan: While I was working on children's spaces – I wanted to time capsule their moment in art – and I started making these beautiful art frames – a way to archive your child's art in a modern way. It is a labor of love – a time consuming process – the end result is a grid of hand cut miniature images – a gathering of your child's artwork. It is amazing if you think of how we can influence the next generation of artists and creative types.
Holly: You mentioned earlier that you do not have a formal design education but are self-taught. How do you think self-taught differs from someone with a degree when it comes to decorating and creativity?
Jan: We are born with visual senses – just like someone who excels in math – one can excel in the visual area and I have that gift. My daughter also has this. I also have an eye for products – I adore looking, finding and choosing. Not having a degree allows one to break the rules – and to come up with ideas off the book. One who holds a specialized degree is not necessary more creative – passion and creativity can not be taught. A piece of paper does not state that I have an A+ in creative ideas – although it probably should! Also when I was young, education was different – I am a product of NYC Public School, having grown up in upper Manhattan. Options back then weren't available – the sky was not the limit – today children have so many choices and so many opportunities. My teachers did not encourage me – if you were not the smartest in the class then sadly you were not important. Our schools were over crowded though I did join a program in high school that instead of going to school – I worked at The Soho News for an entire semester. This was an amazing experience for me, to see the art world up close was a very special unique experience. Soho in the 70's…
Holly: From a professional standpoint, what do you think needs to change about the interior design profession as a whole?
Jan: At the moment I think we are experiencing design overload – every where you turn – there is an ultra-designed home or a product more outrageous than the last. I think so much of it is silly. Too contrived. You can start to lose perspective on what is good design.
Holly: I'm delighted by how open you are, I feel so energized by your words. I think many feel these ways and appreciate hearing a professional with clearly so much talent, expressing them. Okay, so this leads me to my next question, living in such a highly competitive city such as New York, how do you manage to stay positive and on top in your field?
Jan: In all creative fields, everyone has a ego bigger then the next. I hate to play that game. I am a collaborator. I recently worked on a home – with architect Peter Himmelstein and it was a wonderful experience. The project was a brownstone – the home of a celebrity actor, his wife and their family. We all worked as a united team – there was a mutual respect across the board.
Holly: Can you share some of your thoughts on what works best when dealing with clients, any tips to share?
Jan: I love to work with my clients and get an understanding of what they like. There needs to be a mutual respect between the client and designer. Listening is key, as is confidence. My advice is to remain as honest and sincere if you truly don't think something will work.
Holly: What is often a challenge in your profession?
Jan: What I realize in my experience is that many people are not educated in understanding the value of what we do. Often others take for granted and don't understand the simple fact that ideas cost money. Time costs money. The value of a good eye – having a vision – it's hard to put a price on.
Holly: Who has influenced your work?
Jan: A big influence was my grandmother – from Greece. When she was a young girl she would make raw silk from the cocoon – and make silk lace. Pillowcases, bedspreads, tablecloths – it is an incredible lost art. My love for textiles started early.
Holly: And what about your current inspirations, can you tell us a little about what inspires your creativity?
Jan: Much of my inspiration comes from my travels – I love Asia, I spend most of my summers abroad. In Bali there is a carefree feeling of the homes. They are inside out. I love the wood found in Indonesia. Europe holds me – having a Dutch husband we have spent much time traveling about. Absorbing an environment is the best learning tool. I am also an avid fan of the internet – picking up inspiration from all the excellent blogs out there as well as online magazines. Of course nothing beats picking up your favorite magazines – and letting your mind wander – watching your own ideas gain momentum. Pure inspiration is really all around us.
Jan thank you so much for spending time with us here today on decor8, it's been a pleasure and honor to have you!

I've talked about Danish home brand Bloomingville by TrendKompagniet before, but it's been awhile and with Spring and gardening on my mind a lot lately I've been looking for some inspiring products that bring a breath of fresh air into the home. Bloomingville is a brand that you can find in Germany, and it is gaining in popularity like many other Danish and Swedish labels that are starting to find many loyal customers here.
This is the time of the year that I enjoy because Winter melts into clear, warm days and slowly you begin to find clothes and home accessories that fill you with the promise of flirty sundresses and brightly-colored wellies. Over the weekend I bought the cutest pale gray shoes and visited Noa Noa where you can find some of the loveliest Spring fashion ever. My white narcissus also bloomed on my windowsill after waiting several weeks though the transformation from bulb to bloom is always a pleasure to watch… I think it is because of being a gentle reminder of the patience we need to have in order to grow and blossom – beauty does not come overnight!
Don't you enjoy the product shots from Bloomingville above? I do, though they are a bit too country for my taste I see many that I can mix and match into a more modern home with clean lines and that is what I live about Bloomingville, there is something for everyone. Did you notice the dresser in the top left photo? It looks like it was painted with light grey chalkboard paint. I love the idea of pale gray chalkboard paint, many tend to go with black chalkboard paint on the walls which is lovely but upon seeing this I think gray appeals to me a bit more right now I think. What about you?
I need to run off to teach a class for a few hours, so I'll be back a little later…

I love the Dutch brand Nooosugar! Have you heard of them? They wrote to me just yesterday to introduce themselves and the second I clicked over to their website it was insta-love because I find comfort in simplicity and balance these days and enjoy clean, modern design with a dash of bohemian ethnic style more and more. It's very peaceful I think, it feels special — even a little luxurious and resort-like don't you think? Nooosugar has all of that in one impressive shop. I was surprised to learn that they are decor8 readers, which came as a pleasant surprise because it's really such a small world online, you know?
Anja Bas Backer told me about her company that she runs alongside partner Susanne Houx — they have had an online shop for only a year but they are growing and doing quite well. I learned that 90% of what you see on their site is their own designs and handmade by artisans in Morocco and all unique as there's only a few of each product available in stock. These ladies are so talented with such a great eye for style. The cushions are handwoven striped cloth and one-of-a-kind for example. I love the striped curtains, I imagine them as a canopy over a bed or perhaps on the patio slung casually over a bamboo rod above a table for a laid-back lunch. So pretty!
If you are interested in ordering from them and you do not speak Dutch you can write to Anja via email in English and she'll answer you – she is very nice and helpful (info AT nooosugar.nl).

Let's dive into the week with the inspiring work of photographer Anitta Behrendt who lives in Copenhagen whom I found back in September 2008 in German decorating magazine Living & More (blogged here).
I recently saw her on someone's tumblr site and now I cannot remember who… but anyway if you read design magazines in this part of the world chances are you may be quite familiar with her work already. And if not, perhaps seeing these photos today will be a fresh glimpse into some very lovely interiors shot by a talented lady who makes beautiful rooms even more radiant. While peeking through the photos shown please be on the look out for buttons hand sewn onto a sofa. You'll want to run home and duplicate the look!
With turquoise being the "it" trend color for 2010, some of these rooms may even give you a few ideas on ways to introduce it into your home if you don't already have this breezy blue… one of my favorite colors. Especially since you will likely find it readily available in most stores so if you're out shopping it should be easy to find.
How can you bring turquoise into the home? You can paint an accent piece, like a cabinet, bookcase or table in turquoise, even something smaller like a picture frame or a stool. Or if you'd like to be subtle, paint the inside of a cabinet with glass doors and inside, place all of your china and/or white porcelain so that the white really jumps out from the turquoise background. You can add a print from Etsy to your walls which lots of turquoise in it, or look for solid or patterned throw pillows to toss on the sofa or bed. Even glass bottles and vases, or pots, turquoise is nice as a bold statement or as a simple accent. You can even use clothes, jewelry and handbags as decorative accessories so pull out those turquoise beads and place them on a hook over your dresser. It goes with so many other colors from red to black, yellow to green, and looks especially nice with chocolate brown though I tend to prefer it with white and black and a touch of lilac and pale lime. In my home, I use turquoise in all of my rooms as an accent, for instance my taper candles are a light shade and my candle holders are white and silver.
Aren't these rooms beautiful? I hope that you'll take a moment today to look at Anitta's online portfolio where you can be exposed to more of her lush interiors. Some days I just want to move to Copenhagen because I've not been and for a small city it certainly seems to have a lot of talent living there… Perhaps I'll drive up this Spring or take the ICE. I need a mini break and I just have to see this city to believe all the hype for myself. Since moving to northern Germany I'm exposed to Danish life + culture so much more, time to get up there and shake a tail feather! Ha ha! Does anyone even say that anymore? I feel so behind with American slang it isn't even funny!
Anyway, enjoy Anitta and I'll be back with more goodies in a few…

ZaZa: Asian-Fusion
Great Thai-fusion seafood. The restaurant is on a corner just one block down from the beach and has patio dining on a veranda that wraps around the building as well as an upstairs area.
We chose to eat outside because it was so hot, plus we got to watch the world go by. The staff speak good English and are very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. The total price was about $100 USD for both of us.
Favorite Dish: We had Thai shrimp and Seared Tuna. The shrimp were large and spicy and came with rice. The tuna was seared perfect and came with a great tasting sweet/sour source and a few al-dente veggies. We also tried a local red wine, recommended by the waiter, which was really nice.

Zazá Bistro Tropical: Zazá Bistro Tropical
This food is described as a contemporary combination of Asian, European, and Latin-American influences.
Favorite Dish: This is my favorite restaurant. I like to sit outside. My favorite menu item is the special on Thursday. It includes salad, steak, potatoes, and dessert (I got pistachio ice cream) for only 12R. I remember looking at the menu and thinking that the other daily specials on the other days sound good too. Their menu has Portuguese on one side and English on the other.

Zaza: Zaza bistro tropical
This is a funky and cozy bistro with delicious and creative South American cuisine with an oriental touch. At the candleslight we had delicious seafood salads and fish. The namorado fish served with puree of banana and palm heart was excellent.

Zaza Bistro: No chairs required
The restaraunt is located on the corner of one of the main streets in Ipanema. Decorated in a mix of arab and eastern styles to match the food its a beautiful place. The upstairs has low tables and cushions scattered on the floor for seats in an arab style. Not so good for the elderly or those wearing short skirts.
The food is an exquisite blend of asian, north african and local flavours. Sweet and spicy curries and cous cous.
I originally rated this place very highly but recently the standard has dropped a little both in terms of service and food. However it is still a nice place to go.

zaza bistro tropical: a great place to eat
A definate asian influence. A fusion of a couple types of cuisine. The ambience is tropical as the name suggests. The hostess Patricia speaks english and is extremely helpful. We had our wedding dinner on the outside veranda. There is an upstairs where you sit on pillows on the floor and the room is lit by numerous candles. Start with a caprainha in which you get to choose the brand/style of cachaca. They also carry Devassa beer (a micro brew made by the owner) which is the best beer I tasted in Rio. Try anything that you think fits your taste and you will not be disappointed. Save room for some dessert...maybe try the sampler if it is still available. Our favorite restaurant in Rio.
Favorite Dish: As I said above. Everything I have ever tried has been great. Our friends loved it too.
Za-Za: International but different
Cosy, great staff. It is on 2 floors. downstairs there is a choice of an outdoor area or indoor with air conditioning. Upstairs there are no chairs, the customers lounge around on soft cushions and eat off low tables. Very exotic and great fun.
Favorite Dish: Thai chicken curry, cooked as spicy as you like.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been directed by the Supreme Court to file a status report on advocate Prashant Bhushan's plea for a thorough probe into the role of M/s Tatas in the 2G spectrum allocation scam following the report of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) against it.
A bench headed by justices H L Dattu directed the premier investigating agency to file the status report by August 12 on Bhushan's submission that "the SFIO investigation, under ministry of corporate affairs, also confirms that M/s Unitech was fronting for M/s Tatas and had obtained 2G spectrum allocated by the DoT in 2008 by cheating and fraud."
Bhushan has filed a PIL before the Supreme Court in 2G scam involving two former union ministers A Raja, (a DMK MP and former telecom minister), Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi and some telecom companies.
Contending that the CBI has chargesheeted other companies like Swan (fronting for Reliance), Loop (fronting for Essar) for their alleged role in the 2G spectrum allocation case but the agency failed to take any action against Tata group.
In his application before the court, the lawyer said "The SFIO probing the Radia tape cases reveals that M/s Unitech was nothing but a front for Tata. The money was not paid directly to Unitech Ltd. The companies of Tata Group were put into service to route funds to the group companies of Unitech and these companies finally passed on the funds aggregating 1,700 crore to Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Pvt Ltd during March 2007 to March 008...."
He alleged that the money received from Tata Realty was utilised by Unitech to pay the license fees to the government for acquisition of licences.
Referring to the SFIO report, Bhushan said It said Unitech had entered into agreements with the telecommunications arms of Tata Teleservices for procuring infrastructure in 2007-08 after it had received funds from TRIL. Unitech, therefore, acted as the front for Tatas which not only funded for the license but also ensured its towers by way of signing agreements.
Claiming that there are evidence that a huge property worth hundreds of crores was transferred by the Tata group company 'Voltas' to the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's family.
He also referred to the Radia Tapes in which the conversation between corporate lobbyist Nira Radia and Rajathi Ammal (wife of Karunanidhi) and said the said conversation had also mentioned about the transfer of the property.
Bhushan also sough for a CBI probe into the alleged role of Jaffer Sait, a 1986 batch IPS officer of Tamil Nadu cadre, who was the chief of Intelligence during the DMK regime in the state from 2007 to 2011 for alleged attempt to derail the CBI probe into the whole 2G scam to save Kanimozhi.
He claimed that there is evidence that the police officer had conversation with Kanimozhi and also her personal assistant.

Fast food workers and activists demonstrate outside a McDonald's in Chicago, on Thursday. A ruling by the National Labor Relations Board that McDonald's can be considered a joint employer at its franchised restaurants, could affect how the chain deals with organized labor disputes.
A ruling by the legal arm of the National Labor Relations Board against McDonald's will change how the restaurant chain deals with labor disputes and could lead to some industries becoming more unionized, a labor expert says.
"I think it will embolden the labor movement, especially among fast food workers," said Jason Bent, a professor of employment law at Stetson University College of Law in Florida. "Industries that use franchises or that use contract labor will have to worry about this when it comes to organized labor targeting their workers."
Although the ruling was not related to the issue of wages, fast-food companies such as McDonald's have been the targets of recent protests by unions and workers around the country pushing for a minimum hourly wage.
NLRB general counsel Richard Griffin Jr. wrote in a letter on Tuesday that 43 of 181 worker complaints filed against McDonald's have merit and that the fast food chain would be named as a joint employer. That means McDonald's could be liable for unfair labor practices, like low pay, at the franchise locations.
Franchises are purchased by an individual or group to sell a company's goods within a certain area or location.
"The NLRB letter means that not only is the franchise owner responsible for making sure there's fair working conditions, but also a firm like McDonald's is responsible," said Kathy Ruckelshaus, general counsel for the National Employment Law Project, a pro-workers organization.
She added, however, that it's too soon to tell whether the ruling will prove a boon to organized labor.
"They weren't seeking a union, but trying to make their jobs better when it comes to pay," Ruckelshaus said. "We have to wait to see how this plays out."
McDonald's is determined to fight the decision. In an email to CNBC, the company said: "McDonald's will contest this allegation in the appropriate forum. McDonald's also believes that this decision changes the rules for thousands of small businesses, and goes against decades of established law regarding the franchise model in the United States."
McDonald's also said it "does not direct or co-determine the hiring, termination, wages or any other conditions of employment of our franchises."
But despite claims that this ruling violated current laws, it didn't, said Stetson's Bent. He said there are no set rules on whether a franchiser, like McDonald's, is a joint employer with its franchisees. That type of decision is usually decided on a case-by-case basis by the NLRB.
Also, the NLRB as a whole did not rule on whether McDonald's was a joint employer. What Griffin's letter did, Bent explained, was signal a more aggressive approach on worker rights issues by the NLRB.
But the approach has upset leaders in the franchise industry, generating fears that the decision will hurt what they say is a sector for job growth.
"Franchises are seeing twice the rate of jobs as other areas" said Matt Haller, spokesman for the trade group, International Franchise Association. "There's no question it would have a negative impact on franchise expansion."
Haller argued that people buying into a franchise would have to face a host of legal challenges stemming from the NLRB's decision—and that might make them think twice about going into business.
Haller also said the ruling would put a firm like McDonald's in more control of a franchise location—more than a franchise owner would like. But that's a good thing, according to Ruckelshaus of NELP.
"Franchisers shouldn't be able to avoid their responsibility when it comes to worker issues," she said.

Herschel Family Papers Now Open for Research at The Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin
With generous support from the AIP Center for History of Physics, the Harry Ransom Center recently completed a year-long project to rehouse, rearrange, and describe its holdings of papers of the Herschel Family in accordance with current archival practices and descriptive cataloging standards. The resulting finding aid describing the papers is now available online at http://research.hrc.utexas.edu:8080/hrcxtf/view?docId=ead/00568.xml.
The Herschel Family Papers at the Ransom Center largely represent the life and work of Sir John F. W. Herschel (1792–1871), the noted English mathematician, astronomer, chemist, and experimental photographer. Also present are manuscripts and correspondence by and about John's father, Sir William Herschel (1738–1822), discoverer of the planet Uranus and stellar astronomy pioneer; John's aunt, the noted astronomer Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750–1848); and many other Herschel family members, scientific colleagues, and friends.
Sir John Herschel's own papers span 1809–1871 and chiefly document his scientific activities and tenure at the Royal Mint, but also depict his personal life as well as his relationships with colleagues, friends, and family. His manuscripts include writings on actinometry, astronomy, botany, chemistry, geology, mathematics, meteorology and barometry, music, photography, physical optics, physics, and other subjects. Also present are his mathematical notebooks from his student years, his diaries spanning 1820–1871, and his travel journals with observations from tours in Italy, France, Germany, and England, 1809–1850.
His observations at the Cape of Good Hope (1834–1838) are documented by reports, notes, star charts, financial accounts, and diaries. Sir John's correspondence is extensive and includes exchanges with colleagues such as George Biddle Airy, Charles Babbage, Francis Baily, Charles Darwin, William Rutter Dawes, Michael Faraday, John Russell Hind, John William Lubbock, Charles Lyell, Thomas Maclear, George Peacock, Edward Sabine, Richard Sheepshanks, William Henry Smyth, George Gabriel Stokes, William Henry Fox Talbot, William Whewell, Thomas Young, and many others.
Materials representing Sir William Herschel date from 1753 to 1822 and include correspondence, manuscripts of essays, notes, and tables. Within his correspondence are letters from his father and other relatives in Germany. A list of the telescopes Sir William constructed and documents relating to his early musical career are also present.
Holdings for Caroline Lucretia Herschel span 1783–1849 and consist of correspondence, biographical memoranda, documents, tables, and diaries. In her correspondence are letters from Carl Friedrich Gauss, John Haygarth, Alexander von Humboldt, and Joseph Lalande. Among her manuscripts are diaries for 1833–1845, drafts of her autobiography, and a commonplace book of astronomical memoranda that records her education as an astronomer.
The remainder of the collection contains papers of other Herschel Family members—including Sir John's mother Mary Pitt Herschel, his wife Lady Margaret Herschel, and several of his children—as well as papers by or correspondence between Herschel colleagues, such as George Biddell Airy, James Russell Hind, Thomas Maclear, Edward Sabine, William Samuel Stratford, and others.
The Herschel Family Papers are supplemented by other holdings at the Ransom Center, including books and scientific offprints formerly owned by the Herschels, photographs taken by Sir John; additional printed documents and pamphlets; and a few personal objects.Submitted by:

Dr Smith is simply wonderful. I went to see him for a revision rhinoplasty after I had lost trust in my previous Dr who totally messed up my nose and I couldn't be happier with the results from Dr Smith.

I went in for a opinion and consult with Dr smith and I from the bottom of my heart and soul would like to say thank you to Dr smith for such a wonderful Professionalism knowledge and care you have for a patient . Very professional asking questions and answering my questions so clear and with care so I understand . I have hard time to trust a Dr as I have had extremely bad experience and I went in with fear and reserved but his "honesty" which it was impossible not feel made me so happy and comfortable . Absolutely he is worth the wait time I rather wait for a Dr like Dr smith and pay double the price but atleast you get honest opinion and honest answers and outstanding service . I truly belive that Dr smith is the best surgeon that Canada has to offer . I have a complication to my face and his compassion towards me and willing to help me means the world to me . His secretary is absolutely amazing friendly helpful and kind . Beena she is the best . Thank you Dr smith and stuff .

From the bottom and the top and the middle of my heart I want to say THANK YOU Sir for my new nose! I'm very happy with the result. My nose looks exactly the same as on the mock-up pictures he sent me a year ago. The best surgeon ever!
Someone said here that he provides very poor patient care after surgery..... I would disagree with that.... At least never happened to me. Today was my one year follow-up, and he was extremely nice, honest and kind....same as during my first consultation.
Are you still looking for a good surgeon? Trust me, guys, he is best of the best! I'm so happy I chose him!
Sir, I want to thank you for your extraordinary care, for you skills and talent! God bless you!

I did a consult with Dr. Smith early 2015 and found him calm, knowledgeable, and patient. I asked him some follow up questions by email and went to see him at his office after to clarify some of my questions as he needed to see my nose again. I paid for one consultation fee, received digital imaging, and found Dr. Smith to be kind, honest, and realistic. Unfortunately, however, the email exchange between us stopped as he communicated to me that he feels that I may not be completely content with the improvements that he can make to my nose. He prefers to not operate on a patient who may not be happy at the end rather than have an unhappy patient. I really appreciated his honesty and wrote to him with a final question with respect to a suggested change to my nose and did not hear back from him. I felt that he lost interest in my case given my many questions. I think I even called Beena to ask her to forward my email to him again but didn't hear back. The only recommendation I would have for him is to be open to patients having anxiety about the procedure (especially if it's their first time) and consider and explain different scenarios to patients like me who may over-think a decision as big as rhino. I would've been happy to go with him as my surgeon but it's hard for a patient to do that when they feel that their PS has lost interest in helping them. I did want to write this review. however, as I have consulted with 5 surgeons in Toronto so far, and I've found Dr. Smith's honesty and calm demeanor outstanding.

With all the respect to very few negative experiences I see here I honestly think he is the best rhinoplasty surgeon out there . His work speaks for itself . Some other surgeons I have seen promoting on tvs and magazines that is pattern I would worry a lot . He was the best for and I'm happy I chose Dr smith absolutely amazing . He is very honest and very highly skilled surgeon . I will recommend him with all my heart to anyone who will need a nose job .

I had a second revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Smith in August 2014. I was not happy with my first revision performed by another doctor in Toronto 6 years ago, which had left me with a crooked looking nose and pinched tip. I was scared and very hesitant to go through the process again… I'm so glad I found Dr. Smith. He is amazing and his expertise was obvious from the first consultation. He made me feel comfortable and was confident he could make my nose look better even though I know it was going to be a difficult procedure.
Today I am 7 months post operation and my nose no longer looks "done". Can't believe how natural it looks. Very happy with my entire experience. I would recommend him to my friends and family. Merci Dr. Smith!

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Smith about a year and a half ago. The initial consultation went great; he took his time, answered all my questions and seemed very honest and trustworthy so I was very happy I found him. I searched a lot for the best surgeons in Toronto and really felt like he was the best for me. However, I unfortunately had a few issues after my surgery. First of all, during the first follow-up (which was 2 or 3 days after surgery) I asked him how everything went, if the bump was gone and if he achieved the curve and results I was hoping for. His answer was simply ''very good questions'' as he laughed almost a bit nervously. He seemed lost and I could tell he didn't really have the answers. It was almost as if he forgot everything about my case even if the surgery took place only 3 days before. I was surprised by his lack of professionalism, especially coming from a doctor with such a good reputation.
For the one week follow-up and the removal of the cast he wasn't even present, instead, it was with another doctor he was mentoring from the hospital. Because of that, I e-mailed him a list of questions I had and I did not get an answer from him. I had to call his secretary who told me to forward her the e-mail and she had to remind him to answer me. Also, during every follow-up I had with him, he took pictures and promised to send them to me, but he never did.
The results were overall good but during the one month and the 6 months follow-up I brought up a small bump that was still present. He acknowledged it and was surprised it had happened. I then asked him about the possibility of a revision rhinoplasty and he told me to think about it and wait for the one year follow-up when my nose would be fully healed, which I did.
During the one year follow-up I told him I was still interested in a revision mainly because of the small bump, but also because I am unfortunately pretty dissatisfied with the appearance of my nose from a 45 degree angle. He told me he would not charge me full price for the revision, but it would also not be free since he did achieve some results which I completely agreed with. I was willing to pay partial fees because he did improve the overall appearance of my nose even if I'm not fully satisfied. He told me he would review my before and after pictures and e-mail me the price. Once again, I did not get an answer from him. I e-mailed him again a few weeks later and till this day, I have not heard back from him.
He is a skilled surgeon, but unfortunately he provides very poor patient care after surgery. It really feels like once he got my money and now that he can no longer make any profit with me, he doesn't care anymore…

Dr. Smith is a wonderful and skilled rhinoplasty surgeon. Let's get right to the most important part of any nose job undertaking; the result. I am very happy with my new nose, it now looks just the way I always wanted. I can also breath much better since surgery.
My original nose had a hump, and the tip pointed downwards with a droopy columella. In addition I always seemed to have issues breathing. I had a primary surgery with Dr. Smith in 2010. He corrected my deviated septum and I was breathing clearly for the first time in years. He also did a wonderful job with removing the hump, improving the profile, and making the overall nose narrower. The improvements were many.
By 2012 and a full 24 months after surgery (had a baby girl one year after surgery), there were still a few things that I was not 100% satisfied with. I shared my concerns with Dr. Smith and he agreed that my tip could be refined a bit more, and additional general improvements could be made one of which was to do a small graft to make my nose perfectly straight. It was a big decision for me to contemplate revisional, but I felt that the reward would outweigh the risk.
So I made the big decision to go for rhinoplasty round two in October 2014, six months after my second baby was born. The end result was that all the refinements that I discussed with Dr. Smith were executed to perfection. My recovery was relatively quick, and I am just so happy now.
A few general comments for those of you contemplating which surgeon to choose, these are some pointers that I have and I speak from a patient perspective that has had two surgeries. I also did have consultations with other surgeons before my first surgery in 2010.
-Dr Smith is a surgeon with extensive training in ENT and plastics, decades of experience, likely thousands upon thousands of rhinoplasties completed because this is all he does…….. but… he is also an artist. And this comes into play when you are entrusting someone to resculpt your nose. Point being, if you choose to go with him, you are likely giving yourself the highest chance of being happy with the result.
-Dr Smith is a realist. He provides fair percentages of success rates. If he feels something isn't worth the risk, he will tell you. He doesn't seem to be interested in providing false hope. He is very "to the point" about what he feels he can do with your nose. His listening skills also come into play here. He really absorbs what you say and want with your nose, you will notice this.
-He has a kind and compassionate demeanor about him. This in and of itself does not make a difference on the end result of the procedure, but at the end of the day you better like the surgeon that's going to be operating on you. He's just a darn nice guy.
-He has a beautiful and comforting new office. His old office was indeed a bit behind the times, but the new one is fabulous. Once again a nice office wont get you a great nose job result, but just wanted to share that it is a great atmosphere when you are there.
-And of course there is Bina. Such a nice person, always smiling, and so so helpful. She runs the office.
-Toronto East General hospital where both my surgeries were, the staff is very good. Everyone goes out of their way to help.
Really my overall experience with Dr. Smith was excellent. Obviously, I would have preferred not to have needed revisional, but at the end of the day, I judge my new nose on the end result and I couldn't be happier. The journey was just a bit longer than originally planned.
I would have done nothing different throughout this whole process, Dr. Smith is the choice I recommend for all future rhinoplasty patients. Probably the most difficult thing for me was that he is based on the east side of Toronto and I am in the west end of the GTA. So going to see him for consultations pre and post opp made for a lot of driving, but so worth it. My husband also enjoyed chatting with Dr. Smith on our visits. Dealing with Dr Smith, has been a wonderful experience and my nose is now what I always wanted, you're first class all the way!!

Since I found Dr. Smith via this website, I though it would only be appropriate that I also left a review for others to read. I had a fairly large hump on my nose with a drooping tip, as well as a deviated septum for as long as I can remember which was impairing my breathing. I went to another doctor before seeing him but after doing some more research and reading many doctors' reviews I realized that Dr. Smith would be the best man for the job. I needed someone that not only could help me achieve my aesthetic goals but also correct my breathing, with minimal complications (he gave me the probabilities of success at 80-90% on all of the things he would would do).
I had my surgery back in December 2014 and I really have nothing but positive things to say. As with most surgeries, you won't really feel anything till you wake up :) The pain I felt afterwards was uncomfortable for maybe the first few days but quickly subsided. Dr. Smith was very responsive after surgery. I emailed him a question on Christmas eve and he still got back to me within the hour. That just shows his professionalism and compassion for his patients. The swelling is still visible but has come down a lot since I first had my bandages removed and I am very pleased with the results thus far. My nose looks better and most importantly I can breathe better!
Suffice to say I would recommend Dr. Smith to anyone who is looking to get a rhinoplasty and/or septoplasty done.

Norway's rape problem will only continue to worsen as long as the country ignores its multi-culti Muslim problem.
Even the NY Slimes has reported that "one in ten Norwegian women over the age of 15 has been raped." The Slimes, however, doesn't want to mention who is behind most all of them.
See below for previous stories and video detailing this disturbing, and ever-increasing violence. Again, where are the feminists?
Thelocal – Two teenage girls emerging from downtown Oslo's train station were attacked on Saturday evening by five young men in yet another escalation of the capital's burgeoning rape problem.
The arrest of five Afghan and Pakistani men immediately stoked calls for the creation of a national police sex-crimes unit. Oslo mayor Fabian Stang also called for discussions on a possible curtailment on freedoms for asylum seekers.
The mass attack on the 16-year-old girls braving the station area after dark was reported just hours after hundreds took part in a torchlight protest to "take back the night", a rally by women's groups and ordinary citizens for action against sexual assault.
In all, newspaper VG chronicled five rapes over the weekend, including one in which assailants were described as "Scandinavian in appearance".
Whatever the count of foreigners involved, Mayor Stang weighed in with a call for "dramatic action" after a record year of 48 "after hours" rapes. While he singled out non-western foreigners, he also made it clear that asylum seekers should not be kept confined from the rest of society. (more >>>)

On the Move with Betty Rutherford
It's never too late to learn new things
After working for a local utility company for nearly 30 years, Betty Rutherford was laid off, giving her the golden opportunity to fulfill her lifelong dream of getting her degree and becoming a nurse. A little more than three years ago, she was the oldest in her classes at Del Mar College and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Now 56 years old, Rutherford works as a registered nurse at Christus Spohn Hospital Shoreline and volunteers at Holy Family School, where her grandson attends.
Family: Sons Robert Buhidar, 33, and twins Ryan and Jonathan Buhidar, 23; daughter Jessica Buhidar, 27; grandson, Romeo, 6.
Hometown: Born in Victoria, raised in Tivoli, moved to Corpus Christi in 1963.
Outside Interests: I love to spend time with my grandson. I want to be the best influence for him, so I take him to do a lot of things with me.
Shopping haunts: I love shopping at Dillards for bargains and the Dollar Tree for knick-knacks. I can never go into the dollar store without spending at least $20.
Best way to relax: Sitting with my sisters, drinking margaritas and chit-chatting.
The perfect indulgence: A manicure and pedicure.
Favorite snack: H-E-B Creamy Creations Rocky Road Ice Cream.
What drives me crazy: Thunder and lightning. I refuse to go outside during a lightning storm. I am scared to death and it drives me crazy when it's a really bad storm.
The title of my biography would be: "You're Never Too Old to Fulfill Your Dreams!" I would want for women to know that you are never too old to get an education and you can't give up even when you have obstacles that come into your life.
Biggest regret: That I didn't pursue a nursing career when I was younger.
Toughest experience I have ever had: Going through the rigors of nursing school. I've gone through marriages, divorces (two), raising four children and financial obstacles, but none of these were as tough as going through nursing school. I had practically no income, could only work one day a week because of studies and went through my pension money like water to pay bills.
If I didn't have to work, I'd: Volunteer somewhere probably at a hospital rocking little babies in the pediatric ICU.
Best advice and who gave it to me: "Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability even if your job is scrubbing a commode." - My biological father

2014 BEST Men's Clothing, Fine
Originally established as a fine menswear store, this Boston institution is now run by fourth-generation purveyor Debi Greenberg, who continues the family tradition by offering made-to-measure suits, ties, and shoes from Kiton, Belvest, Massimo Bizzocchi, and Valentini. (Designers from these iconic brands and others previewed their fall collections at a two-day Louis event in May.)
