At about 4 p.m. owner Alain Passard sat at a table in his restaurant, Arpege, smoking a Rafael Gonzalez Lonsdale and sipping a 100-year-old Malvasia Madeira. The lunch service was over-except for a handful of people also puffing away on cigars and drinking espressos--and Passard was taking his daily ritual of savoring a good cigar after each service and reflecting on how it all went at his two-star restaurant.
There wasn't much to think about. Passard does most of the cooking himself, leaving very little to chance. After studying 17 years under the extremely talented Alain Senderens, another chef/cigar aficionado, now at Lucas Carton, Passard has the same light touch for spices and a pinpoint accuracy in focusing on the ingredients in his cuisine. In fact, he bought Arpege from his mentor in 1984 when Senderens left in search of three-stars at Lucas Carton.
"I don't want my food to be marred by these chi-chi sauces or anything else," Passard explains, taking a drag off his cigar and then a tiny sip of the Madeira. "What I want in my cooking is to emphasize the food itself. It should be light and flavorful." The starters, of a soft-boiled egg with a light cream sauce served in its own shell and a delicate spicy soup of freshwater crab, were exquisite; however, the moussaka of lamb with Asian spices highlighted Passard's feather-light style. Moussaka is notoriously heavy and bland, but Passard's rendition was intensely flavored, and the spices, minced lamb and eggplant worked together in perfect harmony. My lunch companion's pan-seared salmon in a light spicy sauce with celeriac crepes was equally flavorful.
The wine list at Arpege is top flight and extremely well priced. There are plenty of great bottles of Champagne, Bordeaux and Burgundy with a vast range of vintages from key producers. Red Burgundies are particularly well selected, with excellent wines from Faiveley, Jacques Seysses's Domaine Dujac and Domaine de la Romanée Conti. However, what makes this list special is the selection of extremely interesting wines from the Midi and southwest France, which represented incredibly good bargains. We started with a dry white from Jurancon, a 1989 Domaine Bellegarde. Rich and round with perfumed fruit flavors, it was a perfect aperitif and went well with the appetizers. For the moussaka and salmon, the sommelier recommended a 1987 Madiran from Alain Brumont's Château Montus. A lighter vintage, the rich yet elegant red, was an excellent accompaniment to our main courses. Combined, the wines came to only 220 francs ($40)--unheard of in a Guide Michelin two-star restaurant.
It's all par for the course for Passard, however. He doesn't seem too concerned about what people think. The interior of his restaurant is very simple with walls lined in pear wood and the remainder of the restaurant painted in light, warm earth tones, giving the interior an almost Southwest American feel. The only thing on the walls is a single photograph of a woman in one corner of the restaurant. It's a portrait from the '30s or '40s of Passard's grandmother, who was also a chef and after whom he named his special duck dish: canard Louise Passard.
Passard insists on keeping his decor to a minimum, which is understandable since there's only space for a couple dozen customers each service. "You have to have space in restaurant," he says. "The last thing you want is to feel confined in a restaurant where you'll be sitting at a table for three or four hours."
The open space also makes Arpege a cigar smoker's paradise since it assures good ventilation. The selection of cigars is good (all Cuban), kept in a humidified cabinet near the entrance. The restaurant has a slightly irritating policy of offering customers a few cigars from a small silver platter instead of a humidor. I would prefer to look at the whole selection of cigars myself and then choose. But it didn't matter the day I was there. My friend had brought some seven-year-old H. Upmann Sir Winston Churchills, and after lighting up and smoking for awhile, both Passard and his maître d'hôtel, Dany Vidie, came over to ask what we were smoking. When told, they went away and came back with similar cigars, and we had an impromptu cigar tasting. A large cloud of smoke quickly surrounded our table, and the cigar conversation continued for some time. You get the impression that Passard is often smoking cigars with clients after lunch or dinner--making Arpege one of the most cigar friendly restaurants in Paris.

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The film follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who—along with the Wizard Gandalf and 13 Dwarves, led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield—is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome Dragon Smaug. Along the path, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of a "precious" ring tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways he cannot begin to know.
The screenplay for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson & Guillermo del Toro. Jackson is also producing the film, together with Carolynne Cunningham, Zane Weiner and Fran Walsh. The executive producers are Alan Horn, Toby Emmerich, Ken Kamins and Carolyn Blackwood, with Boyens and Eileen Moran serving as co-producers. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and the second and third films of the trilogy are productions of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM), with New Line managing production. Warner Bros. Pictures is handling worldwide theatrical distribution, with select international territories as well as all international television distribution being handled by MGM.
The IMAX release will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of An IMAX 3D Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

Animal, Vegetable, Two Kids? Unpredictable
Y'all, this book is gonna change my life
Barbara Kingsolver is awesome, and if you haven't read her before, read The Bean Trees: A Novel and The Poisonwood Bible, too, but first read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Sure, the premise is cool--she and her family eat locally for a year, growing a huge garden, befriending local farmers, raising chickens and turkeys for eggs and meat, learning to make cheese, etc.--but it is all integrated within a larger discussion of the ethics of food production, food transportation, food pricing, in just a clear-headed, evocative, plain-spoken manner.
If anything can inspire me to cook at all, much less locally, this book can.
Of course, I obviously ran right out to Bloomingfood's with the girls to buy some wholesome, locally grown produce, and of course the prices nearly knocked the food ethic right out of me. I mean yeah, we try to eat healthfully and organically, but we're also totally dirt poor--we buy organic milk just for the girls because I don't want them to go through puberty at age seven, and I was thanking god that the College Mall Kroger's put in a big, swanky natural foods section so that I could buy bulk nutritional yeast and rolled oats without having to save up. The smack end of the growing season, and Bloomingfood's, was possibly not the best place for a dirt-poor family of four to begin their locavore adventure: I ended up with two locally grown tomatoes, four apples, some milk, and some cheese.
And, um, a sprouting jar? Don't even ask, cause I. Don't. Know.
Anyway, at least when we got home it was a fine afternoon for a change, so I got a chance to rake what used to be here----over the tops of my brand-new lasagna garden beds (although the prospect of the leaf vacuuming team driving by and sucking up all my lasagna beds, which are near the road, is DESTROYING me!), and the girls got to goof around outside a little:
Then, in honor of Barbara Kingsolver, I did not turn to the girls and say, "Peanut butter or cheese? Name two fruits or vegetables," which is how, um, I usually feed them. Instead, we made a whole wheat pizza crust from scratch and, praise be (or perhaps it was the salt and soda I snuck in), the mess actually rose this time, and we all got our own quadrant of deliciousness to decorate: Yummy looking, right? Things like that don't usually come out of our kitchen. Syd did up her lower left quadrant in mozzarella, grape tomatoes, brussels sprouts, and one artichoke; Will did hers in brussels sprouts, one tomato, and one artichoke, Matt had all tomato, and I had pepperjack (local, thank you very much) and artichoke.
And oranges are for making faces with: P.S. I've got tutorials for these here and here, but I also have some new handmade blank books and a set of bigger Christmas-colored crayons up on my etsy shop.

i bought that book for my dad last xmas, and he LOVED it.
scott doesn't like for me to do the grocery shopping, because i spend like 200 bucks - and then we still have nothing to make for dinner. thank god for him.
sprouting jars! scott sprouts lentils and makes a kick ass sprouted lentil salad. he used to run a raw + vegan cafe in atlanta, so he knows all kinds of healthy raw recipes. so fresh and tasty. you'll have to ask him for some tips, cause you know, i have no idea. i just eat here, most the time. :)

Ok, I must have a dirty mind because when I read "his wee little George Foreman", I about had a laughing fit. Sorry...hope no kids are reading this! ;D
Dh read the book, and I listed to most of it on books-on-CD (I love MCPL). I adore her writing! I also saw her do a reading of this book, complete with a slideshow presenation, on C-Span or some such channel that I wouldn't otherwise be watching if I weren't stuck in DE a couple of yrs ago when we went to visit dh's dad. She's a wonderful presenter/reader too!
I'm like Abby...send me into a grocery store, and I'll buy stuff that dh doesn't cook with and would still have blown a bunch of money. It never ceases to amaze me because we do grow a lot of our own food, and we still spend more than I think we ought to be.

i read her book a couple of months ago, and was so inspired, we went on a canning binge in the late summer. her mozzarella recipe is as easy as she makes it sound, too (and yummy).
i'll be interested to find out how the sprouting goes.

It's so funny, because Kingsolver's whole point was how she did not break the bank at all to eat locally and organically for a year, but whenever I've tried, I've just found it absurdly expensive. And mind you, I don't think that food should be super-cheap (Matt does, but I don't). My philosophy about organic meat and milk, for instance, is that it should be expensive because that's one way we know they're giving quality treatment to the cows, and we just shouldn't abuse the foods by eating them all the time. But veggies and fruits? We should eat them all the time!
The key to Kingsolver's position, I suppose, is to preserve a year's worth of whatever is in season in the time in which it is in season. I'll look forward to trying this next year.
Yeah, her mozzarella sounds awesome! And learning to sprout is high on my next to-do list--I'll obviously report on it ad nauseum.

It's a common--and accurate--complaint.
California is too often seen as a state that doesn't do enough to encourage and protect the growth of business and jobs. And when it comes to small businesses, a prime example comes to mind.
Imagine you're a cafe owner who gets hit with an attorney's "demand-for-money" letter. That attorney is seeking a quick cash settlement in exchange for not filing a lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Do you fight the lawsuit, which will allege deficiencies in providing access to the disabled? Or do you fork over the cash, even if it feels every bit like extortion? There are numerous instances of predatory attorneys engaging in this type of behavior, surveying businesses in order to compile a list of targets.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was meant to protect civil rights, not to line the pockets of certain shady attorneys. Now, there's an effort at the Capitol to crack down on this kind of abuse.
And it's not coming from where you might think.
One of the Capitol's top Democrats, Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, is pushing legislation to address this kind of quick-buck scheming.
His bill, SB1186, is co-authored by Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Inland Empire. It doesn't go as far as some Republicans would like, but it would ban so-called "demand" letters meant to shake money from business owners.
It would also require a notice letter to be sent, alleging construction-related accessibility violations.
The owner would have 30 days to fix the problem before a lawsuit could be filed.
"I have always been a champion of providing full access for those who are disabled but their civil rights are actually undermined when people abuse the law," Steinberg said in a statement.
The Steinberg/Dutton bill passed the Senate this week and heads to the Assembly.
It might seem like a small step toward reversing California's reputation as business-unfriendly. But if you're that small business owner, it's not a small step at all.
Author Kevin Riggs, an Emmy-winning former TV reporter in Sacramento, is Senior Vice President at Randle Communications.

Case 1: two people wake up in spaceships accelerating at 1g. They can measure or observe anything inside the room but not outside. They couldn't determine if they were on a spaceship or on earth. If they ever communicated in the future they would be the same age. Is this correct?
Case 2: one person wakes up in a room on earth, another on a spaceship accelerating 1g. Same measuring restrictions. Again neither could determine if they were on a spaceship or earth. However now if they communicated in the future they would find they are different ages. Is this correct?
I've heard acceleration from a rocket or gravity are the same (e.g. time slows down near a black hole). But case 2 above seems there is a difference?

Kmattini brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 190 Designs von 57 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Metro New Orleans Sourcelink
I work for a governmental entity that is developing an information clearinghouse for entrepreneurs in the Greater New Orleans area. While I work for a governmental agency, I do not like things that often have the dull look associated with government.
The target audience includes entrepreneurs within the Greater New Orleans area. This varies from savvy techie startups to existing mom and pop retail shops.
I need a logo that brands the web portal that we are developing for entrepreneurs. The site will have a shared calendar where entrepreneurs can view all scheduled classes and events throughout the region as well as a filtered database, which creates tailored reports that connect entrepreneurs with the most appropriate resource providers based upon their specific needs. In addition, the site will feature a range of information pertinent to entrepreneurs including both start up and growing businesses.
We currently our working to fill out the shell of the website (http://www.sourcelinknola.org). I like the background colors currently used and would like for the logo to compliment or integrate with the present color scheme. However, I DO NOT LIKE many things about the present web design and will be working to modify things such as text and icons currently used on the home page. I do like the look and feel of the following website: semichiganstartup.com
I would like a logo that can go at the top of the website and be used to brand this initiative. In addition to being used on the website, the branding will likely be used in PPTs and other materials.

Described by Lily Dudoit, Director of Culture at The Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, as "a place where time and space meet, generating a new current, and a new beginning," Keauhou was once a thriving fishing village and home to Hawaii's royalty.
Located just a few miles south of Kailua Village, the Keauhou resort community is unique among the Kona-Kohala resort areas in that it seamlessly blends with surrounding neighborhoods and commercial areas rather than being separated by expanses of lava fields or undeveloped land. Proximity to shopping, entertainment venues and widely varied dining options infuses Keauhou with an energetic, urban feel, while the raw beauty of the Kona coastline, mana of protected archaeological sites and accessibility to the agricultural abundance of Holualoa and South Kona allows modern day development to exist in balance with the rugged natural character of the area.
For water enthusiasts, nearby Kahalu'u Bay, Keauhou Bay, White Sands Beach and other surf and bodyboarding spots along Ali'i Drive offer a myriad of options for swimming, snorkeling or paddling out for a session at your favorite break. Keauhou is also one of the world's top destinations for big game sportfishing.
Golfers can schedule a tee time at nearby Makalei Golf Course, Big Island Country Club, or venture further up the Kohala Coast to courses at Waikoloa, Mauna Lani or Mauna Kea. Cyclists, hikers, runners or those looking for a short stroll through a coffee farm will also find many options for a day on a trail or on the road.
Today in Keauhou and Kahalu'u, even as residential development continues, many cultural sites, including heiau (temples) and fishponds, are also being restored to preserve the area's rich heritage. "As the times change, so do the people. As the land changes, so do the people. As people change, so do the stories. This reminds us of the importance of passing down the history to our families so the stories can live on for generations," says Dudoit.
If you are considering a move to the west side of the Big Island or investment in a vacation home in Hawaii, this is a place where you and your family can create your own stories, interwoven with the story of Keauhou, to share for generations to come.
For more information about on-going restoration work at Kaukulaelae Point at Keauhou Bay, please read Kaukulaelae, We Honor You, from the January-February 2015 edition of Ke Ola Magazine.

One thing I love about winter weddings is the chance for pretty snow in photos and how everything inside feels all comfy and cozy. So romantic to snuggle up with your honey and watch the snow fall outside. And this winter inspiration shoot is all about that. :) Snuggling up with your honey and even bringing the feeling of snowfall indoors! The talented duo at Wednesday brought the snow indoors by creating an installation with 180 strands of marshmallows! So magical and super budget friendly. It also serves as a backdrop for photos and a ceremony. I love the interesting texture of the snow and the fluffiness is both playful and romantic.
The stationery here is a sneak peak suite from the ever growing wedding stationery collection by Wednesday. Brides can customize this suite and others with their info for their big day!
Rebecca's Silver Rose designed all of the gorgeous floral arrangements. I love the richness of the colors, unexpected texture of the cotton and her creative use of dried gourds to hold the small arrangements.
I love that they added softness and contrast through textures in everything from the gorgeous gown designed by the ever-talented Meg Guess, the diy yarn garland, powdered sugar and the rustic and completely charming venue, White Dog Hill.
For their "snowed in theme," what is more perfect than some delicious breakfast treats!? I love that they replaced the traditional cake table and dessert bar with mountains of pancakes, crepes, doughnut holes and other brunchy sweets. I'm such a fan of this idea since I love breakfast at any time of the day – and what guest wouldn't love to eat breakfast at a wedding! :)
And isn't the yarn garland beautiful?! We are sharing a DIY on how to create them yourself later today, so be sure to check back. :)
Guests were all sent home with diy tea bags with delicious homemade tea.
Thanks so much to all these creative + talented Oklahoma wedding vendors that made this such a lovely event!

Inspired by the reunion of shoegaze greats Slowdive, Amoeblogger Brad Schelden and I have compiled our list of favorite shoegaze albums.
For any who don't know, shoegaze is a style of music rooted in the noise pop of The Jesus & Mary Chain and dream pop of Cocteau Twins from the early '80s. In the late '80s and early '90s, bands took elements put forth by those bands—loud, distorted guitars, heavily reverbed vocals and emphasis on atmosphere over discernable lyrics—and came up with a new sound, first truly realized by My Bloody Valentine on their classic 1988 album, Isn't Anything. Shoegaze (or shoegazing) was a term NME and Melody Maker in the U.K. used to describe the visual representation of the sound from bands who rose in My Bloody Valentine's wake, depicting bands' apparent lack of movement onstage and propensity to stare down at their numerous effects pedals. The genre hit its heyday in the early '90s but persists today, with bands like My Bloody Valentine and Swervedriver reuniting and artists like M83 and Diiv using elements of their sound (so-called nu-gaze, but I'll avoid that terrible term). So with that lengthy explanation, here we go.
1. My Bloody Valentine – Loveless (1991)

PRO Development for ANCA Associated Vasculitis
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

|Condition or disease
|Wegener Granulomatosis Microscopic Polyangiitis Churg-Strauss Syndrome
Patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) have inflammation in the small blood vessels leading to involvement in different body areas, e.g., the kidneys, lungs and skin. Untreated, the risk of death is over 80%; with current treatment, patients often suffer from ongoing disease activity, damage or treatment side effects which have a negative impact on quality of life. Because patients with AAV can have a wide range of disease features, the investigators hypothesise that general patient reported outcome (PROs) measurements, may not be specific enough to describe the full impact on quality of life.
The main objective of this project is to start from patients' experiences to develop a disease specific PRO for patients with AAV. Patients diagnosed with AAV will be recruited through clinics or inpatients at the Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) National Health Service (NHS) Trust, or, if the patients have previously consented to be contacted about future studies, through the Diagnostic and Classification of Vasculitis (DCVAS) or The Characterisation and Determinants of Quality of Life in ANCA Associated Vasculitis (VasQoL) study databases. After informed consent is obtained, individual patient interviews will be conducted; these will last for approximately one hour and will be recorded and transcribed. Themes will be independently extracted and amalgamated by the researchers. Approximately 25 patients with different types of ANCAassociated vasculitis and varying disease duration will be interviewed until saturation, i.e., no new substantive themes emerge. These themes will then evolve into individual candidate questionnaire items. Candidate items will be piloted on approximately 25 different patients with AAV using questionnaires and interviews, until no further comments arise, to produce a final set of candidate questionnaire items. The duration of the study 1.5 years.

|Estimated Enrollment :

|Official Title:
|A Qualitative Study Using Interviews With Patients Who Have Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasm Antibody (ANCA) Associated Vasculitis, to Develop a Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Measure
|Study Start Date :
|September 2012
|Estimated Primary Completion Date :
|August 2015
|Estimated Study Completion Date :
|August 2015
- This is a qualitative research study based on semi-quantitive exploratory patient interviews and therefore it is not appropriate to define only one outcome measure. [ Time Frame: No formal outcome measure therefore not applicable ]
The principle research objective: The investigators are going to interview patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody associated vasculitis, to develop and pilot questionnaire items for a patient reported outcome measure specifically for their disease.
The secondary research objective is to describe the impact of ANCA-associated vasculitis on the quality of life of patients attending the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, based on individual anonymised interviews.

Billposting, billboards and roadside adverts have great visibility and are seen by people driving, walking or when stuck in traffic. They are one of the oldest and most proven forms of outdoor advertising in the country.
These types of roadside adverts and billboards are offered all over the country; in locations ranging from roads into and out of small villages through to main roads into cities, as well motorways and major A-roads.

Advertising in shopping centres, retail parks and their locale (eg. carparks, roundabouts etc) is particularly popular with clients directly promoting products that are being sold in that shopping centre (e.g. fashion, beauty and sportswear) but this form of marketing also favours local businesses and regional services, promoting goods and events nearby, such as restaurants, gyms, leisure facilities and healthcare services such as dentists and doctors.
Adverts in shopping centres, shopping malls and retail parks is a great form of outdoor advertising in Tortington as it hits people who are out and about, wanting to spend money and in a relaxed mood.

Buses are an excellent form of media to get your company, brand, business or product seen in lots of different areas in a particular locale by your target audience.
In many ways bus adverts are like moving billboards meaning their impact can have a wide reach into particular areas and communities – you can even select particular routes.
As buses come in different shapes and sizes, bus advertising options are varied and include:
As buses drive across, villages towns and cities from early morning till late or night (or all through the night in the case of London Red Bus Advertising) they offer brilliant value for money and constant coverage.
Bus adverts are therefore popular with many companies and businesses as this type of marketing achieves wide reach and diverse coverage, whilst offering value for money via an excellent return on investment.
For more specific information on bus adverts check out this page - here - or simply contact us today.
Suggested Minimum Spend - £2k
As well as options to brand buses, static bus stop adverts or bus shelter ads as they are sometimes known, are highly effective and one of the most popular forms of media with our clients.
With buses a hugely popular form of transport for many people on a daily basis, passengers spend a lot of time stood at bus stops (often in the rain it seems!) waiting for a bus to turn up. For advertisers, this is great chance to get a message over to potential customers and their target market; bus stops ads, therefore, offer a brilliant "opportunity to see" and chance to engage with people who are often looking around and in a receptive mood.
And of course, it's not just bus passengers who see the adverts but people both walking and driving past.
Bus stop ads share many of the benefits of BOTH standard bus advertising and billboard adverts, to summarise; they are seen by a cross-section of communities and people, including commuters, workers, families, people walking, driving or those stuck in traffic.
These factors, therefore, make bus stop adverts in popular with lots of different companies with London bus stop adverts (red bus advertising) very popular for both national outdoor advertising (those wishing to raise their profile beyond the capital) as well as London specific campaigns.
Specific options for bus stop ads include posters of various sizes at the bus stops (4 sheets and 6 sheets are the most common) - these can be static, scrolling and even backlit for greater standout.
Sometimes, standard bus stop advertising is referred to as Adshel ads whilst electronic bus shelter posters are often known as Adshel Live.
At PromoMedia we secure great rates for national, local and London bus ads and bus shelter campaigns.
Contact us today - don't miss the bus with your marketing (sorry we couldn't resist!)
Suggested Minimum Spend - £15k
The London Tube network – which covers over 402km, serving 270 stations - is used by 4.8 million passengers a day. London outdoor advertising is therefore NOT just for companies from London but very popular with companies from all over the UK who are looking to expand their reach and get their profile raised.
As you can imagine there are multiple London advertising options to consider, all of which can work on a variety of budgets.
Advertising on the London Underground (or Tube Advertising) is hugely popular and used by a variety of companies and industry sectors because London not only has lots of residents but many business people visiting - as well as those on holidays or short breaks, this makes tube advertising key for many businesses. Many national and international companies believe if you can "crack" London, you can go global!
With London Underground ads you can target certain stations and areas (Central Stations or more Commuter Belt stations) where your target audience may socialise, work or live.
London Tube adverts (part of TFL advertising) are very popular and get booked up months in advance by major international companies including car companies, supermarkets, clothes and fashion brands, West End Shows - as well as small local companies appealing to people in their neighbourhood (local hairdressers, bars, restaurants etc.)
The cost of London Underground adverts varies depending on the time of year and also which stations you want to advertise in, some stations are more premium as a higher number of people use them every day.
LEPs are the posters that you see at the side of these escalators (when you go up and down) entering and exiting tube stations and are the most popular form of tube adverts.
For more in-depth information on Tube Advertising visit our page here.
Check out the video above to see the various media options for tube adverts working in real life.
Contact us today to get started!
High-impact adverts on the side of escalators as people enter tube platforms or train stations are seen by a massive amount of commuters and tourists using local train stations, shopping centres, the London tube network and other similar underground UK transport systems every day.
They are printed but now (at certain stations) digital tube poster options are available, with electronic and LED backlit billboard to choose from.
If escalator panel ads are of interest get in contact today.
Suggested Minimum Spend - £2k
Taxi Advertising in Tortington is a form of out-of-home advertising which is developing and gets stronger and stronger every year.
Options include "in taxi ads", branding a taxi cab or digital taxi advertising (adverts on internal screens). Taxi advertising, in general, is becoming more popular with advertisers as they offer value for money and a decent return on investment.
Taxi adverts are particularly popular in London who have a very large fleet of black cabs but many local, regional and independent firms are now starting to brand their cars at great rates.
It is accurate to say that taxi adverts share similar benefits to those of buses - as they drive into lots of areas and hit a good cross-section of society. Taxi ads are therefore a great form of mobile and vehicle marketing, getting your brand in the public eye across a wide-ranging area.
If taxi marketing or black cab adverts are of interest to you contact us today for more info or visit this page.
Suggested Minimum Spend - £2k
Phones boxes may not be popular for their initial usage anymore - as everyone has mobiles - but phone box advertising is now more popular than ever.
In fact, the last few years have witnessed a resurgence in this form of marketing - their positioning naturally in high-density areas and visibility meaning they have a great visible impact! At PromoMEDIA we believe that phone box advertising is a great and different way to advertise a company, business or product and a brilliant way to reach people in pedestrianised and shopping areas all over the country.
Phone boxes in town shopping centres are popular with advertisers who often develop fun and quirky artwork and ideas to stand out from the crowd.
Options include branding the sides of a phone box or phone kiosk in full.

Books from the traditional city of knowledge
Bookshops are Salamanca's most abundant establishments, as you are sure to notice. This is not only on account of the university, but also because Salamanca is one of Spain's top destinations for foreigners doing Spanish courses. Would you like to practise your Spanish with a little reading? If so, then visit one of these bookshops and take a few books home with you: the most traditional ones are located around Plaza Mayor Square and the University. Furthermore, make the most of the months of May and September, when you can enjoy two fairs - the Book Fair and the Old and Second Hand Book Fair, respectively. On these days you can discover all these bookshops have to offer in the stalls they put up in Plaza Mayor and Plaza de los Bandos Squares.
