Saturday morning was very cold and very wet – the perfect morning to stay indoors and whack the heating up, right? Wrong. I was at Pippingford Park in East Sussex battling the elements and ready to support the hordes of runners taking on the Spartan Beast – an epic 25km obstacle race.
As the climactic event on the Spartan Race calendar, this was going to be tough and it seemed as though Mother Nature herself was intent on making it even tougher for the runners. With a muddy and rain-soaked course greeting runners in the very first elite heat at 10 a.m., the non-stop rain made the trails boggy and the mud pits … boggier!
Having completed one of the shorter events, the 5km Spartan Sprint back in September, I couldn't wait to see what the organisers had in store for the 15+ miles of challenging terrain. Oh, and did I mention that, if you fail ANY of the 25+ obstacles, there is a 30 burpee punishment?!
This race was hardest yet, but don't just take my word for it, we have a first-hand account from a Spartan survivor, Darrell Skipper, who crossed the finish line after a gruelling four and a half hours.
Here's what Darrell had to say about the race:
The Spartan Beast was by far the toughest physical and mental challenge of my life. I'd signed up for the 2013 Spartan Race Season Pass this year and had already completed four of the shorter Spartan Sprints (between 5–8km) and one Spartan Super (12km) over the summer, but this was on a different level.
I ran in the 10 a.m. 'elite' heat (I didn't feel too elite by the end!) and we set off just in time for the first of many torrential downpours of the day. It wasn't long into the race before we realised that this was going to be a lot different to those nice warm race days of the summer … It was raining pretty much the whole time and this resulted in people getting stuck in the mud and the freezing bogs being at chest height at times.
The obstacles ranged from fire jumps, 8ft wall climbs, rope climbs and barbed wire crawls to carrying heavy sandbags up and down steep and slippery slopes. Some very ambitious person also decided to put a 25ft rope climb at the end of the race, which apparently only about 10 per cent of finishers managed; the other 90 per cent accepting the 30 burpee punishment instead, which, for me, seemed to take a lifetime to finish!
The obstacles were actually a sweet relief, a brief respite from the horrors of the trails and the hills, oh god the hills! A lot of people struggled with the naturally formed mudslides, but luckily I had learned from previous races that the quickest way down is on your backside. As soon as the other runners see you doing this they all follow your lead – it was definitely the quickest way downhill.
I completed the race with my brother and father, who have been my Spartan training buddies for a few years now. We first signed up as motivation to lose weight and we ended up losing over 250lbs between us! After that, it just became an addiction. We love the whole ethos of the Spartan Race, the spirit and camaraderie between fellow Spartans is amazing. Lots of helping hands and lots of crazy, delirious laughter from the sheer insanity of it all.
I'd highly recommend obstacle racing for people who are looking to get in shape or to kick-start their fitness regime. Nothing motivates you better than cold, dead-eyed fear! Despite the aches, pains and countless hours of training, I'm definitely doing the whole season again next year – who's with me?
If you are interested in joining the Spartans next year, or would like to find out more information about their races, you can subscribe here. Who knows, maybe I will see you at the start line next year…
Happy training!
A huge thank you to Darrell for his guest post and to Epic Action Imagery for allowing us to use their brilliant photos.
This is a guest post written by Sarah Johansson
British boxing has become less exciting for fight fans in recent years, with the retirement of both Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe and the decline of Amir Khan. However, the Olympics brought with it an upsurge of interest for the sport, and 2012 marked the first inclusion of women's boxing in the games. Does this mean that boxing is on the up?
I'll admit I've never been a fan: it's always been too violent for me. Maybe I'm a big old wuss, but I like sports where people are nice to each other. Not only have I not liked it, I've dismissed it with a passion, usually citing words like 'barbaric', 'primitive' or just 'stupid'. So imagine my horror when I was forced to sit through a Prizefighter tournament recently. I say forced, but when you're sharing a small flat with an obsessed boxing fan, it's pretty difficult not to absorb the sweaty aggression emitted from the screen.
Yet I was fascinated, which leads me to preconception no. 1 about boxing: it's all about the aggression. Sure, professional boxing is scored based on the most effective punches, style, aggression and knockdowns. Amateur boxing, however, is judged by landing the most clean punches on the target area (a glorified game of tag, if you will). This, ironically, didn't mean much to me until I had a go at Fight Night on Xbox.
Several hours and two blood blisters later, I came to the realisation that: (a) boxing requires some serious skill and technique, and (b) I was definitely capable of letting out a whole lot of aggression myself. So I've started to view amateur boxing in a different light: rather than focusing on the violence, I've come to admire the amount of dedication and discipline required, which reaches a level that few other sports could hope to equal. Lack of funding usually means having to work normal day jobs too, trying to fit in exercise and fights whenever there is time.
That was the case for Nicola Adams who worked as a builder and Corrie extra before taking home the first female Olympic gold medal in the flyweight class last year. Before 2009, funding wasn't readily available for female boxers, and now, after the five-medal success in London, funding and opportunities are growing exponentially and universities are endorsing the sport to a much greater extent.
This is set to provide a whole new environment for a sport that is becoming more and more popular. Some of Britain's 'flagship' athletes are now amateur boxers, which lights a torch for a bright future in Britain's professional boxing game. This transition is already in motion now with Olympian Anthony Ogogo recently turning pro.
While I admit my previous dismissal of the sport probably involved very loaded words for someone who professes they couldn't care less for it, I guess that's what boxing does to people; it stirs and fascinates, repulses and excites. And even though I'm struggling with some conflicting emotions about boxing, you can't deny the obvious fitness benefits. A boxer at their peak easily ranks among the fittest athletes in the world.
Boxing exercise is guaranteed to take you to the next level in your exercise regime, regardless of whether you train or compete in a different discipline. And if you want to get fit, focused and fighting, put on the gloves and try a boxing-fitness class. They provide non-contact cardiovascular workouts with boxing-style exercise, which perfectly suits those of us who want to get toned and gain physical and mental strength – but who might want to keep the violence at a safe distance.

The Key to Finding Fulfillment, by Tom McDermott
Do you know what makes you unique?
Let me ask you a question: How do so many smart, ambitious, bright people end up in jobs feeling underutilized, unhappy and unfulfilled? To really answer this complicated question, let's start at the beginning. How did you select your job or career? Was it based on your college degree, or did you jump into a job after high school, hoping you'd figure it out from there? Did your parents influence your career choice? Did you go into your family business because they wanted you to? Did you look at the list of "Hot Jobs" to see where the jobs were going to be? Did you select a job/career mainly for the money?
Here are at the facts:
- 66% of college graduates from the college classes of 2006-2011 said they would do something differently if they could do it all over again*.
- 60% of Americans would choose a different career if they had the chance to do it over again**.
- 65% of the U.S. and Canadian workforce are either somewhat or totally unsatisfied with their jobs, and only 19% said they were even "satisfied" with their jobs***.
If 2/3 of the population is unsatisfied with their jobs and would choose a different career, and only 19% of people are only "satisfied" with their job, how many people truly love their job? Maybe 5%? The story the numbers are telling us that there are far too many people in the wrong career. But people are not the problem. It's the current models, methods and beliefs about finding a career – finding the right career—that are severely flawed.
What's the best way to find the right career?
That's the start of the problem, but not the first question to ask. Instead of asking what you "could do," ask yourself: "what could I do better than anything—and anyone — else? What position am I ideally suited for? What role could I kick butt in?"
So the better question is:
What's the best way to find the right role – the best position? It starts by knowing the answers to these questions – it starts by knowing yourself a whole lot better:
- Do you know what makes you unique?
- Do you know what unique value you can provide to a company and to the world?
Do you know how to discover it?

Torment me no more.
This may be short because the Tormentor has to be the shortest boss battle in the history of gaming. Well, I guess there's the crab in Monster Party that literally holds a sign saying, "Sorry, I'm dead!" but that's another story.
Before I go into detail I feel I should explain Dead Space a little bit. The setting is in space. The year is 2508. Isaac Clarke, an engineer, is called to repair the Ishimura. A large vessel used for collecting and transporting ore. When Isaac and his team get there, they quickly learn that the crew was lost to a parasitic alien life-form known as the Necromorphs. Isaac's day job as an engineer soon became a fight for survival.
Necromorphs are different than your typical horror enemies. In a video game, whenever someone sees an enemy they always say "go for the head!" but in the case of the Necros, you need to dismember their limbs. No one really knows why, other than the fact it immobilizes the infected host. They can still be killed by shooting any other part of their body, but their true weak spot is their limbs. The Tormentor is created by a single parasite infecting multiple corpses at once, explaining its size.
The Tormentor is debuted in Dead Space 2 during a cut-scene I wish this was an actual fight but it soon becomes an interact-able cut-scene where you need to shoot the limbs of the Tormentor in order for Isaac to have some chance of escape; one wrong move results in Isaac's death. If all the scenes are done successfully, Isaac breaks free of The Tormentor's grasp and chases Isaac out of a window, crashing into a fuel carrier. The Tormentor soon re-cooperates and tries to go after Isaac once again. The player must shoot nearby fuel canister in hopes to damage The Tormentor with a chain explosion of the canisters. Once you do, the character is pushed by the blast into another window of the ship and begins a new chapter.

August 11, 2009
Project ORBIT (Organizational Reengineering using Banner Information Technology), a multi-year, campus-wide effort to implement a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to replace current systems that are nearing obsolescence, reached its first major milestone last month with the launch of Banner Finance. "In keeping with the university's strategic plan, a major emphasis—while implementing new systems—was to reengineer administrative and academic processes to improve customer and student satisfaction," said Ed Bishof, associate vice president for University Budgeting. "To support this plan, Project ORBIT was initiated last summer. Well-deserved congratulations to the entire finance functional and technical teams for the dedication and perseverance they displayed in meeting their project deadlines," he added. "Our upgrade to Banner replaces a technology platform that has been used at NJIT since 1985," said David Ullman, associate provost for Information Services and Technology. "In making this transition, NJIT joins well over 1,100 institutions across the US and around the world that manage higher education operations and processes with Banner." "We look forward to using Banner to improve the productivity of our recruiting, admissions and enrollment operations," said Kathy Kelly, associate vice president for Enrollment Services.

The things don't trigger on the dot of the speed limit. If they did, though, you'd have got 3 points. If you're a new licence holder they take it off you at 6 points. Not sure about CBT though.
Learn now to keep a sharp eye out for the pesky things.
I normally do I was overtaking a car,when I saw the white lines on the ground,I slowed down,but not sure if I got caught,it's annoying that there's so many on that A road.

If you slowed down to 60 as soon as you passed the first white line you'll be OK as your average speed between the two photos will be 63 which I guess they won't bother with unless the guy checking the photos has had a bad day. Reportedly, most speed cameras don't have any film in them at a given time.

Brantle y Gilbert is pretty much always on the road, but he will soon have a permanent place to go on his off days. Brantley recently purchased some property in his hometown of Maysville, GA, and the house he's building there should be finished early next month. Though he's excited about the new house, there is a lot of work left to be done.
"I haven't picked out a fence yet or a gate, which I'm sure I'm gonna have to do really soon," Brantley says. "None of the landscaping has even been talked about, so I may just be moving in to a dirt spot at first, but we're gonna get it figured out."
Brantley is on the road opening for Toby Keith through September.

Football spring practice update
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –
Half way through the 2010 spring season, the Birmingham-Southern football team is making strides to prepare for another tough season on the gridiron this fall.
"We finished up our seventh practice out of 16 opportunities today," head coach Eddie Garfinkle said. "Division III rules only allow practices in shorts, so it is hard to evaluate the actual progress. Our emphasis has been to install our offense, defense, and kicking game, but really slow down and not only teach our players what to do, but also why we are doing it. We are making a lot of progress in that area."
The team's final practice will take place on Saturday, April 24, at 9:30 a.m., which is BSC's annual Football Family Day.

Mazuma Credit Union Joins Consortium to Unveil Social Campaign to Drive Growth with Millennials
The 'Make Your Money Matter' Initiative illustrates how Credit Unions benefit members and their communities. Mazuma Credit Union and seven other credit unions are joining with PSCU to unveil a message that's right on the money for a new crop of young, local-minded consumers. The "Make Your Money Matter" (www.makeyourmoneymatter.org) campaign is a cooperative, grassroots effort that aims to educate a new generation of consumers about the wealth of benefits credit unions provide over big banks. The campaign comes just ahead of Bank Transfer Day, a consumer movement encouraging a voluntary switch from commercial banks to credit unions on Nov. 5. Partnering with Mazuma to introduce "Make Your Money Matter" is a consortium of seven credit unions from around the country and PSCU, all keen on proclaiming the myriad advantages of credit unions for members, and their local communities.Read More

When a team looks flat, lost and beat up and loses 31-17 to its chief rival — and it really wasn't even that close — generally no player or area is immune to criticism.
Physically, Georgia Tech got hammered Saturday by Georgia. There were mental lapses. Emotionally, the Jackets seemed to lack a pulse on their home field against the only opponent that usually defines their season — which probably is the greatest indictment of all, considering the 364 days of buildup on a campus where the rallying cry is, "To hell with Georgia."
"You have to play with everything you have. We didn't," linebacker Steven Sylvester said.
How does that happen? Were they saving it for the Sun Bowl?
But Tech's biggest problem Saturday against Georgia was no different than what its biggest problem has been for four years under coach Paul Johnson. Their defense stinks. They can't stop anybody or intimidate anybody. Two many games come down to pinball games.
Bad defense got Dave Wommack fired after two seasons. Bad defense under Al Groh should leave his future uncertain at the end of a two-year contract. Groh hasn't said definitively that he wants to come back, but the question Johnson needs to ask himself is: Do I want him back?
This is no minor issue. Johnson has won 34 games in four seasons. The Jackets' 8-4 record this season going into their bowl finale certainly is not worse than most projected at the outset of this season, and it's probably better. But when you have a defense that ranks 43rd in yardage, 56th in points allowed and 89th in third-down conversion, you're not going anywhere.
Georgia is good, very good. The Dogs have better players and are as hot as any team in the country, save LSU (next week's opponent in the SEC championship). But when the Bulldogs accumulated 254 yards on their first four possessions, this game was over. Georgia didn't even punt until its sixth possession. By then, it was 24-10.
Johnson's view of his defense's inability to stop the Dogs: "It's deflating. I think it deflates the whole team."
The option offense isn't built to play from behind. Neither is quarterback Tevin Washington. When the Jackets tried to open it up, Washington was intercepted twice on Tech's first three possessions in the second half.
But remember where the problems started.
Georgia's superiority on the field shouldn't discount that Groh's 3-4 defense got worse late in the season and has failed in the big picture. Tech is no better off on defense today than it was when they fired the last guy. Nationally, under Wommack the Jackets finished 28th (2008) and 54th (2009) in total defense. They were 64th in Groh's first season and went into this week 43rd. Scoring defense in the past four seasons: 20th and 38th, respectively, under Wommack; 37th and 56th (entering the week) under Groh.
Johnson is an offensive-oriented coach. When he goes consecutive series without a touchdown, he goes postal, but even he recognizes the importance of having some semblance of a defense, or he wouldn't have made a change two years ago.
Groh wasn't made available for comment Saturday. Just as well. He might need some time to figure out how to spin this one. There was an expected transition period with the switch to the 3-4 defense last year, but it's not any better now. The Jackets still don't have the players to play it, particularly up front.
Young teams should get better as the year goes on. But Tech has back-slid since a 31-17 upset of Clemson, with mediocre defensive performances against Virginia Tech, Duke and Georgia.
Sylvester on the difference since the Clemson game: "I think it's just playing with emotion. If you turn on the film of the Clemson game you can see how emotional we were. I feel like we came out flat the last couple of games. We didn't have as much energy as we should have, and our attention to detail wasn't [good enough]."
Players should be able to get up for its rival, but that's also on coaches for not having them prepared. Johnson and Groh share that responsibility.
But the head coach isn't going anywhere. Groh, we're not so sure. And when Tech fails, it's usually not because of the offense.

Coach Johnson is not the problem. The key is better athletes. Tech should focus on recruiting athletes that mix well at Tech from all over the country. Coach Johnson has focused on recruiting Georgia; however,great athletes in the north may find a southern school attractive. Tech is a tough school that requires a cerebral athlete.
One thing to consider about the defense that played well against Clemson is that our nose tackle (Anthony Barnes) had his best game. The nose Tackle is a key compnenet in the 3-4. CAG needs a good to great nose guard.

IMO its been a good year for GT considering my low expectations going in. However, I hope we move forward to 2012 with Vad Lee at QB and Al Groh in a retirement home.

1:38 pm
Tech runs a faux 3-4 defense, since it must move a couple of those linebackers up to the line to create a credible run defense or pass rush. That means we are really running a 5-2 defense, which is vulnerable to crossing patterns, evidenced by Georgia on Saturday. Tech needs to go shopping for a couple of 350 pound nose tackles every year at Junior Colleges like Georgia does. They could stick around for one football season before they flunk out, but maybe they could make the 3 in the 3-4 work. Just a thought…
November 28th, 2011

Ya'll have been exposed! Can't get a good Q.B. (since he wants to SURVIVE) with the triple option. Best running backs ain't coming either. Gimmick is over; once its discovered, superior athletes rule. Chop-blockin' linemen ain't coming, either. It was a good run the first year, and Tech is young. But it will take a SUPERIOR defense to cover the faults of the offense, the better athletes ain't comin' to a triple option offense, and UGA just beat ya'll with NO running game at all! We may get DRILLED by LSU, but at least ya'll ain't gotta play 'em or the "triple-options" would be: run, hide, survive!

I said it right here in this paper 4 weeks ago: We do not have, and never will have, the size up front to play a 3-4 defense. Period. End of story. If they're calling for Randy Edsall's head after one season at Maryland (ok, Feinstein made a convincing argument today in the Post), then we cannot afford to waste another season believing that we can actually recruit at a level where the 3-4 will work for us and allow us to get enough pressure up-front to strike fear into anybody, much less hold an opponent under 30 points on a regular basis. Paul Johnson is still the "right choice"; Al Groh is simply not the right fit…

My apologies for an attempt at humor. I am not suffering from intellectual slothfulness. I just had fun with a little broken English "bustin' your chops! Its pretty obvious a nerve has been hit with you; you have no defense (no pun intended) to offer for the poor showing Saturday, so all you can do is try the red herring approach. Face it; the good players are not coming to a system where the Q-Back will be in a wheel chair by the time he is fifty. Also, it is impossible to recruit the top backs, even those who don't get into trouble all the time (like ours!) The gimmick is up; triple option will win a few, lose you more. No ACC championships with it, and definitely only a VERY occasional win over UGA. This is big-boy football!

Sorry guys. I'm a Tech fan, but you need to face reality. Tech will never pass effectively and consistently. Not bashing the system or the players, but the QB and WRs will never get to develop chemistry and get on a roll. QBs will never be able to focus on reading pass defenses and hitting the receivers when they have to learn the option.

We played aggressive defense in one game all year – the Clemson game. Groh/CPJ decided in that game to not give the QB any time to throw the ball. The rest of the games, we gave the QB all day to throw the ball. We should have been rushing as many as it takes to hit Murray early and often. He probably burns us a few times, but you have got to get in a QBs head early. You let him get some confidence and it it all over.
Poor play calling and poor QB development were exposed. Hard to believe this is the best QB CPJ has developed in 4 years.
November 29th, 2011
10:03 pm
Pretty good article.
I can understand CPJ's predicament with Al. No doubt in my mind that we are lucky to have him. He's a defensive guru. Sitting here, I don't know. I think we should extend him 2 more years. Give Vad or Synjin a chance and lets see what we've got. I'd hate to change horses now, but man the D is bad. Give the CAG recruited players a chance and let's man up. Maybe CPJ needs other staff changes this year as well. I'd like to see more emotion from the coaches. Also, I fear CPJ might go too hard and mid season players get sick of football. Hope that's not the case because I don't.
November 29th, 2011

Excellent take, Jeff.
I agree that the defense needs upgrading. I still think this GT team has overachieved this year. They self-destructed in the Hokies' game, otherwise we might be talking about ACC championships (I'm an optimist). If the Jackets win their bowl game and get 9 wins, there is no doubt in my mind that it's a successful season.
The loss to the Bulldogs hurts, but the better team won. I'm not a defensive expert and I don't know how to improve it (aside from better recruiting), but if that ever gets figured out….LOOK OUT!

Defense will not improve until we recruit better linemen. You can't run a 3/4 without them. We should not have made the transition until we had the personel run it.

Schultz, it would be nice if you could write without your
snide little jabs at Tech that are aside from the game, but
since your team won, I guess you're entitled.

Lighten up; 9 out of 10 means there IS no rivalry, so Schultz is good! Ya'll ain't (as has been said before) gonna get a great QB 'coz he wants to be WALKING when he is 45! The offense calls for an athlete, not a QB. Gimmick's up……ya'll will win more than you lose, but you're in the ACC for goodness sake! Great roundball conference!

old dog,
I disagree. There are plenty of great HS athletes who'd more than love to bang around in a TO as QB, especially considering that there aren't many D1 schools for the athlete that fits that mold to go to. And we ought to be able to entice a ton of great RBs. Our problem is that Mr. Charisma can't seem to get the recruiting thing going like your pretty boy can.

Old Dog – if 9 out of 10 means there IS no rivalry, why waste your time posting here?

Tech problems (even the poor D) would diminish quickly if the QB could pass (and not try to run all the time instead of pitching/handoff to the backs!).
VLee…next year should be your time…if you are still in Atlanta.

Robert Marchetti is a chef unbound. After so many years cooking
his take on the One True Cuisine at Icebergs, Giuseppe Arnaldo
& Sons and North Bondi Italian Food, it seems as though the
Greek and Turkish excursions he began taking with Neild Avenue's
menu at the end of last year have given him a taste for broader
horizons. He's certainly running with it. He's never been shy of a
large menu, but his latest gig, overseeing the food at QT Sydney
(former Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne chef Paul Easson is the
one actually in the kitchen day to day), has given Marchetti his
biggest canvas ever.
No fewer than 53 dishes marshalled onto a single large page make up the carte served both at lunch and dinner at Gowings Bar & Grill, the flagship. Add on another 24 or so for breakfast, and that's before you get to the food served at Gilt, the hotel's cocktail lounge (a dozen more snacks), and Parlour Lane Roasters, its ground-floor café (another 16). There are entire nations that don't have this much culinary vigour.
Italy isn't lost entirely in the deluge of ideas, but there's not a scrap of spaghetti on the main menu, and barely any pasta anywhere else. Instead it's mostly classics of the sort you'd picture lantern-jawed, pinstripe-bedecked captains of industry ordering in some fantasy of the late 1950s as ballast for their requisite three Martinis. Oysters, tartare, steaks, Burgundy beef. Nothing you have to think too hard about and definitely not the sort of food that comes with instructions on how you're supposed to eat it.
In recent months, the winds of popular culture have carried with them a strong whiff of nostalgia for times of simpler promise, more naïve understandings of geopolitics and more straightforward economics. And after a hard day trying to decode the nuances of fungible assets, mezzanine debt and the vagaries of the latest upgrade to your mobile operating system, who wouldn't want a little reassurance?
It doesn't get more reassuring than the schnitzel. And the $38 they charge for it assures you that they're not mucking around. Its mere cost equates to a built-in "excellent choice, sir", and buys you a foot-wide golden blanket of crunchy-crumbed veal tenderloin, juicy as the day is long, and topped with an audacious combination of Ortiz anchovies and a fried egg in the Holstein style. You'll need to order the potato, gherkin and dill salad to go with it as a side, so really it's a $47 schnitzel (let's just pause a moment to let that sink in… a $47 schnitzel) but there's no doubting that it's the schnitty to beat in this town right now.
The matzo ball soup is similarly - if less expensively - comforting. Is the hilarity of putting it on the menu in a box under the heading "Soup of the moment" intentional? I don't know. But I can tell you that the broth is limpid and full, and the matzo ball dumplings, sorrel and carrots swimming in it are as they should be. The minute steak is likewise a thoroughly correct affair, especially if you like salt. You're offered a choice of pink or well done, and the former is plenty juicy, the thinly cleaved 180-gram rib-eye crosshatched with grill marks, paired with a salty anchovy butter, a salty salad of watercress and shallots, and a small haystack of salty shoestring chips.
There may be a retro thread to the Gowings menu, but it's not followed slavishly. Wasabi finds its way into the prawn cocktail, and the prawns themselves are steamed over beer. In one of the better salads, baby beetroot, which come with ashed goat's cheese and goat's curd and a thicket of garnet leaf and shallot, have been baked in a salt crust to intensify their flavour and sweetness. Warrigal greens and saltbush are the foil for birds from the rotisserie, while river mint is the accent for a side of mixed mushrooms steamed in a paper bag (a flavour pairing I can't say I care for). I don't really see Don Draper going mad for the other entrée salad - grated carrot, cucumber, tomato, beetroot, chickpeas, lemon balm and mint - when it has both the words "organic" and "detox" in its description, but it's a smart move for a kitchen that has to cater to the whims of both city workers and hotel guests.
The Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce team, though, would find much to like in the stockbroker flat omelette. It's a round of thoroughly cooked egg so crammed with ingredients (bacon, pancetta, garlic chives, tilsit cheese and a half-dozen rock oysters) that it's more like a slim frittata. It's a great dish. (Draper and co would also find plenty of joy in the stiffness of the drinks in the bar upstairs, but more on that later.)
In place of the deco classicism that usually frames this sort of eating (think Manhattan's Four Seasons or our own Rockpool Bar & Grill), team QT has gone a little more out there. The bones of the 1920s buildings - the site was once home to the Gowings department store, and flows into the State Theatre - can be glimpsed here and there, but this is no minimal restoration project. Every niche seethes with detail, every nook has its twist.
By the ground-floor entry, glass costume cases display frocks fashioned from rope or scores of stitched-together pairs of underpants. As you step inside the restaurant you pass an open kitchen that's a stage set with a variety of roaring ovens, flat-capped chefs as players, and a whole tuna hanging from its tail under a spotlight. Fabio Ongarato's graphics are repeated on John Derian-esque plates on the walls, not to mention the ceiling. No opportunity has been missed to scream "hey, this place is funky". Combined with the blare of relentlessly upbeat, high-tempo music, this more-more-more-is-more effect can sometimes start to grate like too many exclamation marks, but for the most part it comes off as endearing.
I'd say assistant manager Jacopo Craboledda, who seems to work as Gowings' ad-hoc sommelier, is about the only person I've met on the floor who left me with the really distinct impression that he has clocked serious time working in a restaurant and should continue to do so. Some members of the staff have experience, others have enthusiasm; once they get a few more people on the team who can manage both, the service will be something diners can count as an asset. Maybe they're all as overwhelmed by it all as I am.
But with so very, very many ideas being flung at you, some of them are bound to stick, and stick they do. Gilt Lounge, the sharp-edged bar above the restaurant, offers not only the sort of impressively brawny, brown spirit-fuelled cocktails that just about every other Sydney hotel drops the ball with, but also some decent eats. The club is, alas, like some of the other sandwiches here, so preposterous in its proportions that it's not a pleasant thing to eat without the aid of a knife, fork and tablecloth. But allow me to recommend Bringing Back the Vol-au-Vent, which makes a winning argument with a pastry case filled with ocean trout gravlax and a quail egg topped with Sterling caviar. The King of Dogs, too, with its pork and beef sausage and fried and raw onions, is another winner. It also graces the room-service menu. Lucky guests.
The buzzy Parlour Lane Roasters on the ground floor is, for my dollar, the most interesting of the spaces, probably because it has the largest part of the old buildings to play with.
It's a coffee bar in the Italian style: just the place for an (okay) caffè latte to start the day, a chocolate milk mid-morning, a plate of gooey four-cheese and spinach lasagne at lunch, and then salumi and your choice of six, count 'em, six different Negronis for aperitivo.
They also do an acceptable line in pastries, but the sweets crown has to go to the doughnuts back up at the Grill. If massive lumps of fried dough aren't your cuppa, I'd still give the pretentious and not particularly successful "apple crumble flavours" a wide berth and steer instead to either the glossy dark chocolate brûlée, topped with last season's marinated cherries, or the take on the affogato, which combines prunes, a shot of coffee and a gelato made with Jersey milk and crunchy chocolate pearls (they like chocolate here). The doughnuts are served German-style - that is, large, and largely unadorned, except for cinnamon, sugar and the doilies that they seem mad for at this place. There's an argument to be made for ordering the other desserts just to give you something to dip them in. More is, after all, more, right?

The smell of pine filling the house. Matching pajamas on Christmas morning. Ornaments passed down from generation to generation.
The biggest thing I miss out on as a non-Christmas celebrating mother isn't any of those things. It's screaming Santa pictures, of course. I just can't get enough of the jolly old man pathetically holding a child screaming bloody murder. That's just the kind of mother I am.
Since I won't be sharing my own Santa pictures with you, I present you with some of my favorite reader submitted photos. The lucky bastards!
sad. Parents shouldn't force kids to pose with Santa.
Love these! The "stoned" santa is creepy looking. I wouldn't want to sit with him either. My favorite Santa photo is my daughter shooting the bird as a 1 year old in Santa's lap. Priceless.
Aww, seeing terrified children crying and screaming is so freakin adorable isn't it? Adults can reason it's not that bad because they know what is going on. Here's a news flash, the child's terror is real, and the tears and screams are just a little hint.
Good lord, you people need to lighten up.
