To most of us, fashion trends seem to simply come and go. It is hard to know
where and when these trends emerge and what, if anything, gave them life. But it
is not a matter of what as much as who decides when and why the jeans you bought
last year are no longer in style. You must go to the source – the
ever-mysterious, secretive and somewhat frightening world of the elite fashion
designers.Last year on Channel 8, Israel aired the first season of
French filmmaker Loic Prigent's unscripted reality program The Day Before, which
documents top fashion houses in the hours and moments leading up to their big
runway shows.Prigent captures designers in their most passionate,
frenetic and vulnerable moments. In conjunction with Fabric Stories, a series of
exhibitions and presentations at the Mediatheque and Design Museum Holon,
Prigent was invited to screen the premiere of the second season of The Day
Before here in Israel.This new season features designers such as
Donatella Versace and Diane Von Furstenberg and is presented in a shorter, more
television-friendly format. I sat down with Prigent at the Cinema Hotel in Tel
Aviv the day of the premiere to discuss the project, his own background and
fashion in general.Can you tell me a bit about the series? It's a series
that was started because I filmed fashion houses extensively, and at some point
I had hundreds and hundreds of hours of footage. Knowing someone like Sonia
Rykiel – one of last season's featured designers – I knew I could choose any one
hour [of footage] and it would be an interesting hour.Have you always
been interested in fashion? Yes, it's a virus. I got it quite young.It
seems like you may be even more interested in the process than the designers
themselves. Is that the case? It's both. It's really what they say, how they
talk, how they do it. I know my colleagues are obsessed with the inspiration,
the collection as part of a trend, and the process. But the persona, what the
designers say and how hysterical it can be – that is what interests
me.How did you manage to get insider access to these designers? It's
very organic and simple, but it takes time. At some point they [designers] are
interested because they saw what I did with another colleague that they
respect.Sometimes you have to do diplomacy. I have been in a courtship
with Albert Albaz [Moroccan-born Israeli fashion designer] for years now. He
gave me access last season for a TV show in France like he never did before. I'm
super happy about that.I was really surprised by how vulnerable these
designers seemed. Was that the message you were trying to convey? It's really
interesting. Like with Donatella Versace – you usually only see her filmed with
a logo behind her or in a seated interview. I don't know what happened, but she
gave [us] really great access. She had a guy doing her hair behind her, and we
could film moments when she was really in a fragile position, when she was
asking herself questions, when she was questioning the whole process and the
inspiration. I want people to feel the fans, the passion, and that it's done by
human beings, not machines, and that it is not marketed stuff.Do you
have a funny or profound moment from the upcoming season that you'd like to
share with us? I think the moment when Donatella Versace showed me the apartment
of her late brother Gianni Versace on the day of the show was really
moving.The team said to me, "Oh my. you saw that?" It's really great
because it's the first time she showed it to someone in this way. I asked her,
"Did you choose to become Gianni?" [Gianni Versace, the original designer of the
line, was murdered in 1997] and her answer was very powerful to me: "I did not
choose to become him. I would rather have him alive and at the same time be
doing it my way."It's quite a subtle thing. The funniest moment was
seeing Diane Von Furstenberg doing a fitting while doing yoga. Her head was down
and her feet were up, and she was fitting a girl like that. I really like a job
where everyone is a perfectionist but you can still do it heels over

Named Valley Advocate's Best Steakhouse for five years in a row, Opa Opa Steakhouse and Brewery grills an array of steak cuts—ranging from sirloin tips to prime rib—to a juicy and house-recommended medium rare. Beyond its steaks, the eatery's grub follows the same Southwestern theme as its dining room's decorative touches, which includes a wagon wheels and a cattle skull. The kitchen's carefully roasted baby-back ribs, barbecued chicken, and pulled pork complements homestyle favorites such as meatloaf, lasagna, and fish and chips. All of the hearty entrees pair with sides that run the gamut from fries to cowboy beans. An array of beers, encompassing award-winning pours such as Red Rock Amber Ale and King Oak Milk Stout, wash meals down more effectively than a good, long yawn in front of water slide.

Will everything change while we're away?
Hamish McRae
One of the country's most respected financial journalists and commentators Hamish McRae is an associate editor of The Independent. He was named Business and Finance Journalist of the Year 2006 at the British Press Awards.
Sunday 09 August 1998
There are, of course, perfectly rational reasons for such unease. The economic situation in East Asia deteriorates by the day; in Japan things are clearly going to get worse before they get better; something eventually is going to end the long boom in the US; and here there has been a slump in confidence among our manufacturers under pressure from interest rates and sterling.
But then there always are rational reasons for being concerned about the world economy. At almost any moment in time there are several problems bubbling away, any one of which might suddenly erupt and cause a lot of collateral damage. World inflation, Latin American debts, commodity prices, the oil price - all these at various times have threatened the world economy, and all of these were overcome eventually.
In terms of the "danger factor", the present identifiable threats may incline toward the top end of the scale, but they are at the top by any means.
So why the worry? I was struck by the comments last week by Bernd Pischetsrieder, the normally supremely confident chairman of BMW. A couple of weeks ago he was purring with pleasure at the purchase of the Rolls-Royce name, snatched from under the nose of VW. On Thursday, he issued a warning that the German car market had peaked.
Commenting on the speculation about more mergers in the motor industry, he said that the best time to buy was when the market was in "crisis". And when, he was asked, would that be? "Within the next two years, first in the USA," he replied. "If we are lucky, it will not hit Europe before 2000."
His comments were industry-specific, for the motor industry world-wide is suffering from serious over-capacity. Nevertheless, they struck a chord because his assumption that there would be a crisis in the industry, that it would come first in the US and then hit Europe, too, squares with what many other people in the business community feel.
It represents well the "sensible sceptic" view of the world, which many of us feel has been a touch under-represented in the financial markets of late. How then should the sensible sceptic view the medium-term outlook as he or she heads off on hols?
I don't think anything radical is going to happen in the next month (famous last words), but I do think that when people come back in September, they will begin to take action ahead of what seems likely to be a more difficult period.
The idea of a rolling recession, implicit in Mr Pischetsrieder's remarks, seems the single most plausible outcome. Japan is already down, and the US will turn down within the next two years. There is still quite a lot of fizz in the US, as anyone who goes there this summer will notice. Growth in the second quarter managed to stay positive in spite of the General Motors strike and a fall-off in exports.
In the months ahead, fixing the Millennium Bug will add a measurable amount to global GNP. Within continental Europe, preparing for the euro will add to economic activity. And in Britain, the economy overall is still growing now and that momentum will also take time to wear off.
Then comes the flop. I have no evidence to support this and the parallel may seem a bit absurd, but I think the experience of Hong Kong up to and immediately after its return to Chinese rule may be a model for Western economies pre and post-Millennium.
The idea of the transfer of power stimulated the economy in the run-up; far from losing momentum because of fear of the future (which many had predicted), the prospect of the changeover actually stimulated it. People went to Hong Kong to catch a glimpse of something that would be gone for ever. So travel and tourism boomed. That stimulated the economy. Mainland money flooded in. That gave it a further boost.
Then, quite suddenly, it was all over. The tourists departed, partly because they felt that they had been overcharged because Hong Kong had become just another bit of China. Then a combination of bad luck and bad management made a difficult situation much worse. Last Friday was the anniversary of the Hang Seng index hitting its peak. Since then it has lost more than half its value.
Now look at the parallel. There are several non-recurring things stimulating the world economy. The Millennium Bug could add about half a percentage point to world GNP in 1999, and the euro about the same for continental Europe. Buoyant markets have themselves stimulated consumption, and that will take some months to wear off, even if markets move downward this autumn.
The Millennium will surely stimulate some additional consumption (most of us will have to have some sort of party, won't we?). All this makes me think that the problem year is not 1999 but 2000, and beyond. If this is right, how might this smallish and unusually open economy be affected? A snapshot of the mood of the moment is shown in the graphs, drawn from the latest AMN-AMRO chart book.
First, earnings. We are paying ourselves more, with a sudden surge in the year-on-year earnings starting at the beginning of this year. This is entirely a private-sector phenomenon. As you can see, public-sector earnings are completely flat.
The sharpest rise of all is in the private-sector services, the top line. So this rise in not a cost-push form of wage inflation, driven by public sector unions, nor an industrial one, driven by private-sector unions. It is happening in the area where unions are weakest, which suggests that it is the product of a willing trade between buyers and sellers of labour.
Why are companies paying people more? Because they want to get good people and feel they can afford to do so. That is somewhat confirmed in the middle graph, showing confidence in profits. Manufacturers are becoming much more glum and service industry confidence has deteriorated, too. But look at the levels as well as the direction. Confidence in profitability is vastly higher than in the early 1990s recession, and for services at least is still pretty much the same level as it has been in the subsequent boom.
The reason is that services are largely unaffected by the level of sterling (right-hand graph). Here the interesting thing is that the surge in sterling is largely a European phenomenon in the sense that against non-EU currencies it has not risen very much. If confidence returns to European currencies and sterling ceases to be such a safe haven - a perfectly reasonable expectation - then much of the present pressure on manufacturing exporters would recede. Our manufactured exports are particularly dependent on European markets.
If this line of argument is right, we go into the run-up to the Millennium with continuing growth; maybe not as strong growth as in the last four or five years, but some growth, say, a bit over 2 per cent this year and something close to 2 per cent next.
And then? Well, the sensible sceptic would say that we have a few months to prepare. Companies are able to take the practical steps to make sure they are strong enough to weather more difficult times. They do not over- hire; they do not over-invest; they build up their financial strength; and they diversify.
There is no magic wand, just common sense - and a little of Mr Pischetsrieder's scepticism, too.

1,000 hp V8 Engine Launched in New Orleans
Building on Scania's new global engine platform is the 16-liter marine V8, delivering up to 1,000 hp and 2,460 Ib./ft. for patrol craft applications, a compact power source that leverages technology and architecture with Scania's truck and bus engines.
"The new 16 liter engine has gone up in horsepower for each duty cycle we offer, which means that we can approach larger vessels," said Mikael Lindner, President, Scania U.S.A. Inc. "It also means is that this engine is now able to compete with a 18-24 liter engines, which is a huge benefit because you can get a smaller engine, that is lighter with great power, and better fuel consumption."
Central to the Scania line and this powerplant in particular is adherence to high power-to-weight ratio, a critical factor in the marine market for easy installation, refit and performance. "One of the criteria's when developing the new 16 was that it should be easily interchangeable with the current 16," said Lindner. "When you re-power the predecessor, it's plug and play."
The official North American launch was in New Orleans early last month, where the company showcased its new 16 and 13-liter engines, as well as the enhanced instrumentation.
Besides the new 16-liter V8, Scania's marine engine range includes a 13-liter inline six-cylinder unit launched in 2011, an engine intended for propulsion and auxiliary use.
Each engine in the new range is designed for higher strength and durability, and many components are shared across the range, significantly reducing the number of unique parts per engine and assisting in the repair and maintenance of the unit.
"We use a modular design on the 13 liter and 16 liter engines, which have the same cylinder head, the same combustion chamber and the same liners. Scania develops a single cylinder engine with one combustion chamber, and then adds cylinders as needed"
Scania has a history of conducting basic engine development and manufacturing, as well as the development of engine management, fuel injection and emission control systems in-house, a strategy it sees as central to its goals in fuel economy, environmental performance and robustness.
16-liter V8s from 550 to 1,000 hp
The output of the new 16-liter marine engines spans from 550 hp for continuous use to 1,000 hp for patrol craft use. The ratings have been uprated for planing and displacement vessels, and the company's engines are competitive with engines above the 16-liter threshold. Of particular note is the torque rating of up to 2,463.5 lb./ft., a high number for this output class. Engine rooms, particularly on smaller vessels, are generally 'space challenged,' and Scania sees to it that its engines produce high power from compact packages, enabling quick refit and easy servicing while maintaining a robust structure needed in the maritime market. Each cylinder has its own head, and together with wet cylinder liners, it makes for easy overhauls in confined spaces. Additionally, the camshaft is located high in the block and the timing gears are rear-mounted. For these reasons, most repairs and servicing can be carried out by a single service technician. The Scania Saver ring, placed at the top of each cylinder liner, reduces carbon deposits on the edge of the piston crown and reduces cylinder liner wear.
"We try to keep the engine clean and simple. We try to minimize piping and filters, to promote serviceability and the one man service concept" said Lindner.
The 13-liter marine engines range from 400 hp for continuous use up to 750 hp for patrol craft use, and the Scania 13-liter marine engine is the first in a new line of engines for propulsion and auxiliary use. Torque ratings have been increased on the new range, making it easier to maintain favorable operating speeds in high sea or with a heavy load. Single-circuit keel cooling is used to simplify installation and reduce cost.
For marine auxiliary use, the Scania 13-liter engine is designed to handle large step- load variations with short recovery time. The top version achieves its top output of 426 kW at 1,800 rpm. The engine also features Scania EMS, an in-house developed engine management system that is designed to be flexible when it comes to tailoring engine performance to individual customer applications.
The new 13-liter marine engines complies with emission standards IMO II, EU Stage IIIA and US Tier 2.
"What you're seeing here is the engine platform that will be used for Tier III," said Lindner. "The 13 liter engine was introduced earlier this year and it replacing the 12 liter engine. The new 16-liter engine is being introduced at this show.
Scania also launched a new type-approved instrumentation according to the standards of classification societies such as RINA, DNV, Germanischer Lloyd, American Bureau of Shipping and Lloyd's Register. The new instrumentation is designed to be easy to install and via a user-friendly and flexible web interface, the marine operator can adapt the information on the panels and choose any required data. The panels have prepared layouts for water temperature, engine speed, oil pressure and fuel consumption. The operator can also connect and configure a gauge indicator for transmission monitoring and for fuel or fresh-water levels.
The master panel is equipped with a flexible input/output (I/O) with ten digital inputs, two 4-20 mA inputs, two PT100 inputs and seven digital outputs. The system is expandable with an unlimited number of slave panels via standard Ethernet. The flexible I/O makes it easy to install surveillance and alerts of seawater flow or fuel consumption. Increased idling makes the maneuvering of a hydraulic pump for powering winches, or cranes, uncomplicated. Connection for throttle availability via all standardized interfaces (0-5 V, 4-20 mA and CAN).

Obama's Neverending Campaign To Continue In Order To Take On NRA
If there is one thing nice we can say about (NMP) Obama, it's that he runs an excellent campaign apparatus. Governance? Respect for Americans who disagree with him? Foreign relations? Adherence to the Constitution? Not so much. Campaigning and ginning up crazies to get out there? Yes. And lying liar Stephanie Cutter tells us about it in video at Real Clear Politics
STEPHANIE CUTTER: President Obama provides the leadership here, and he said the American people have to speak up and make their voices heard in this debate. Just like the NRA is doing with there membership. And President Obama's network across this country, grassroots individuals, who organize, volunteered with their time to get the president reelected are much more powerful than the NRA lobby.
And I think that you can expect to see that network activated, very soon. And for good reason. We need to pass commonsense legislation to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who shouldn't be carrying guns. That's the commonsense nature of this.
So instead of a national discussion, we'll see a typical Obama campaign of fear and demonization, of abusing and smearing the NRA and Americans who support that pesky 2nd Amendment, not to mention the 4th, 5th, and 9th.
In fact, Obama looks to continue the neverending campaign for everything
In an unprecedented move, President Barack Obama's vaunted political organization is being turned into a nonprofit group — funded in part by corporate money — to mobilize support behind the president's second-term agenda.
Democratic officials familiar with the plan said Thursday the tax-exempt organization will be called Organizing for Action and seek to harness the energy of the president's re-election campaign for future legislative fights. Officials said the group will be separate from the Democratic National Committee and advocate on key policy issues such as gun control and immigration, train future leaders and devote attention to local issues around the nation.
Perhaps Ted Cruz is correct that Obama is "drunk on power." It'd be nice if he got his facts straight, such as his mule fritters assertion about 40% not obtaining a background check to purchase a handgun, but facts matter little when Obama is reaching for an issue and Americans to abuse.

NHL, KHL extend memorandum of understanding
Aug 7, 2014, 11:16 AM EDT
From ITAR-TASS News Agency in Russia:
The extension of the Memorandum of Understanding between the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) is particularly important in view of the current global political situation, KHL President Alexander Medvedev said on Thursday.
An agreement to extend for one more year the Memorandum of Understanding, which stipulates respect for contracts of professional players from the both Leagues, was signed on Thursday prolonging it until June 30, 2015. The memorandum is primarily aimed at resolution of disputable situations in case of players' transfer from the one league to the other.
Basically, the memorandum of understanding requires each league to honor its respective contracts with players. For example, when Ilya Kovalchuk went to the KHL, his NHL contract with the Devils first had to be voided.
Only time will tell, given the current state of relations between Russia and much of the rest of the world, if these memorandums will be forthcoming in the future.
"The signing of the document is particularly important against the background of the current global political situation. It keeps the sport out of politics," Medvedev told an ITAR-TASS correspondent. "I only want to express hope that our foreign partners, who manage ice hockey in the United States, Canada and Europe, will maintain such approach in the future."

A 44-year-old Milwaukee man who led officers on vehicle and foot chases and broke a Wauwatosa police officer's hand in a struggle - all to get away with deodorant he had taken from a Walgreens store - has been charged with a felony count of eluding an officer and misdemeanor counts of retail theft and resisting an officer.
After Darin Lee Lloyd was arrested April 10, he said he planned to sell the hygiene products and use the money to buy cocaine. He had concealed 18 deodorant items in his pockets and walked out of the store on Mayfair Road.
If convicted, he faces up to $30,000 in fines and five years in prison. Because he has been convicted of prior felonies, the penalties could be increased.
He is scheduled to appear in Milwaukee County Court for a preliminary hearing Friday.

WWE is currently developing a new series for the WWE Network that will feature cruiserweight style wrestlers. Months ago WWE started compiling a list of cruiserweight style wrestlers that they could bring in, which was the beginning of the development of the series.
In recent weeks, WWE has started to reach out to a number of independent talents for the show. It is believed that the company is looking for talents in the 200-pound range.
At this time the details of how the show will be shot have not been disclosed, but WWE is interested in using the Sunlife University's gym facility in Florida. They used the facility to shoot several test pilots and WWE officials reportedly loved the state ff the art look the building had.
The WWE Network is still planning a fall debut.

Israel, swept up in the maelstrom of Middle Eastern turmoil, faces an increasingly insecure future. The conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinians' new non-member observer status at the UN have put Israel on the defensive. All around the Middle East, Arab regimes have fallen and it is still not certain what kinds of governments will replace them. Iran is seen as a menace due to its opaque nuclear program and, to make matters more complicated, with elections approaching, the Israelis themselves are divided on the direction their country should take.
DW takes a look at some of the latest developments.
Israel has announced plans to build some new 3,000 homes in the West Bank. The controversial settlement policy may hamper peace talks - and has drawn harsh international condemnation. (04.12.2012)
A news magazine has provided new insight into the secret committee, chaired by Angela Merkel, that approves Germany's weapons exports. Germany is selling more arms to the Middle East - especially Israel and Saudi Arabia. (04.12.2012)
The United Nations General Assembly has voted to recognize Palestine as a "non-member observer state." For one German politician, Europe's lack of unity on the issue is a serious problem. (29.11.2012)
Studying the conflict during the war: International students in Tel Aviv tell of their fear and fascination with the region. (18.11.2012)
Rivals Fatah and Hamas are putting their hostilities aside. The battle with Israel is improving Hamas' standing in Gaza – and the West Bank. (17.11.2012)
Attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities would kill tens of thousands of people in densely populated areas around the sites, a new study says. An attack at one site could have Chernobyl-like consequences. (17.11.2012)
Fears are mounting that the crisis in the Middle East will escalate. The Israeli election campaign, the struggle between the Palestinian Hamas and Fatah parties, and Egypt's role are all grounds for uncertainty. (16.11.2012)
The West Bank barrier is blocking animal migration between Israel and the Palestinian territories. But now, the Israeli Defence Force is seeking ways to allow animals to get over - or even through - the wall. (02.11.2012)
A controversial survey implies widespread support among Israeli Jews for an apartheid-style regime if Israel were to annex the occupied territories. But it adds such an annexation is unpopular. (01.11.2012)
A history of conflict along Israel's northern border with Lebanon colors life for residents there, be they Jewish, Arab or Druze. Hezbollah and the Israeli Army are two of the major players. (31.10.2012)
The economic situation in the Palestinian territories is devastating, the Authority relies mostly on foreign aid. The EU is heavily involved in the region, but despite considerable aid, its influence remains limited. (26.10.2012)
The United Nations General Assembly has recognized Palestine as a non-member observer state, a status shared with the Vatican. It is a wise move that will boost peace and stability in the region, says DW's Kersten Knipp. (30.11.2012)
Germany abstained from the UN General Assembly vote on whether or not to grant the Palestinians observer status. Stephen Szabo, an expert on US-European relations, says Berlin walks a fine diplomatic line. (29.11.2012)
The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is once again on everyone's lips. But according to Israeli author Assaf Gavron, his countrymen normally do not like talking about the dispute. (26.11.2012)
The new cease-fire between Israel and Hamas is mainly down to a dogged commitment to mediation from Egypt and the US. But no one knows how long it will hold, says Deutsche Welle's Rainer Sollich. (22.11.2012)
A Cairo court is set to issue a verdict on three Al-Jazeera journalists accused of being part of a terrorist group and broadcasting false information. The ruling comes as authorities crack down on independent reporting.
On a trip to Tunis, Ursula von der Leyen assured Tunisia of German support in fighting terrorism. She promised fresh funds and military equipment before meeting President Beji Caid Essebsi.
Peruvian authorities have rescued 26 children and 13 women from captivity under 'Shining Path' Maoist rebels. Peru's deputy defense minister said the women were raped to create future rebels.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has said the migrant crisis in the northern French town of Calas is "very concerning." Cameron's statement follows an additional 1,500 attempts to enter the Eurotunnel.

Serbia shrugged off a second half wobble against Latvia at the U20 European Championship Men 2010 in Crikvenica to take the honours 70-57 - although the performance was far from slick.
Point guard Nemanja Nedovic led his team with his best score to date in the competition of sixteen points while center Dejan Musli missed out on a double-double by one rebound after recording 14 points.
After a slow start, Serbia dominated for long periods and powered their way to a 29-16 advantage and still led by double figures at 35-25 when the interval arrived.
Having stretched the deficit out to 16 points at 43-27 early in the third they fell asleep and allowed a determined Latvia to work their way back into the game.
Eight straight points without reply cut the gap and then early in the fourth, the powerful Lauris Blaus who finished with a game-high 19 points completed an 'And-1' play to get Latvia to within four points at 53-49.
As hard as they tried, they failed to keep up the momentum and Serbia pulled away down the stretch.
Kristers Zeidaks had another big game for the Latvian team with 16 points and 9 rebounds (watch Kristers Zeidaks and Nemanja Nedovic postgame reaction here)

Opinions are being voiced on the US Treasury's new plan to help limit subprime defaults
WASHINGTON, DC – Regulatory and industry bodies are starting to react to the new US Treasury plan to rescue about a million US homeowners from the subprime crisis and avert growing fears of a US recession.
The plan is to freeze interest rates for five years for those subprime borrowers most at risk of defaulting on their mortgages, and involves analysing each individual case to make judgments.
The plan could lead to some abuse of the system, because income evaluations will determine whether people are eligible for the freeze. It could also leave homeowners vulnerable again, as US house prices fall from the level at which many took out their mortgages.
"The approach announced today is not a silver bullet. We face a difficult problem for which there is no perfect solution," said Treasury secretary Henry Paulson.
While participation in the scheme – developed between the US Treasury and the mortgage industry – is voluntary for lenders, the plan could have repercussions for bondholders if it is seen as a veiled government bailout for America's debtors, affecting the risk assessment for future mortgages.
But Paulson's plan might be the lesser of the evils. "The plan appropriately focuses on those who are current in their financial obligations but will be unable to meet reset-rate payments," says Edward Yingling, president of the American Bankers Association. "This will not only reduce foreclosure risks and help families in need, but it will also add substantial stability to a portion of the mortgage market that has been in disarray."
Industry involvement rather than government cash could benefit the scheme most. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation chairman Sheila Bair says: "I applaud secretary Paulson's vision in recognizing that we are in a virtually unprecedented credit environment and that difficult choices have to be made. In particular, I want to thank the President for his personal interest and support for this initiative."

Sesame-Sake Salmon
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Less is more. This recipe is extremely simple using minimal ingredients. The sake creates an aromatic sauce that you can't get enough of when poured over your perfectly seared salmon. Serve this with cilantro-white rice for a great side.
I actually won a contest on Epicurious.com (15th anniv Home Cook Contest) for this recipe. They flew my wife and I out to NYC for me to do a cooking demo during an event with two other finalists!
