Cosmopolitan is an international magazine for women. It was first published in 1886 in the United States as a family magazine, was later transformed into a literary magazine and eventually became a women's magazine in the late 1960s. Also known as Cosmo, its content as of 2011 included articles on women's issues, relationships, sex, health, careers, self-improvement, celebrities, fashion and beauty. Published by Hearst Magazines, Cosmopolitan has 64 international editions, is printed in 35 languages and is distributed in more than 100 countries.[3]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2013) |
Cosmopolitan began as a family magazine, launched in 1886 by Schlicht & Field of New York as The Cosmopolitan.[4]
Paul Schlicht told his first-issue readers that his publication was a "first-class family magazine", adding, "There will be a department devoted exclusively to the concerns of women, with articles on fashions, on household decoration, on cooking, and the care and management of children, etc.There was also a department for the younger members of the family."
Cosmopolitan's circulation reached 25,000 that year, but by November 1888, Schlicht & Field were no longer in business. John Brisben Walker acquired the magazine in 1889. That same year, he dispatched Elizabeth Bisland on a race around the world against Nellie Bly to draw attention to his magazine.[5]
Under John Brisben Walker's ownership, E. D. Walker, formerly with Harper's Monthly, took over as the new editor, introducing colour illustrations, serials and book reviews. It became a leading market for fiction, featuring such authors as Annie Besant, Ambrose Bierce, Theodore Dreiser, Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, Willa Cather, and Edith Wharton.[6] The magazine's circulation climbed to 75,000 by 1892.
In 1897, Cosmopolitan announced plans for a free correspondence school: "No charge of any kind will be made to the student. All expenses for the present will be borne by the Cosmopolitan. No conditions, except a pledge of a given number of hours of study." When 20,000 immediately signed up, Walker could not fund the school and students were then asked to contribute 20 dollars a year. Also in 1897, H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds was serialized, as was his The First Men in the Moon (1900). Olive Schreiner contributed a lengthy article about the Boer War.
In 1905, William Randolph Hearst purchased the magazine for US$400,000 (approximately $11,000,000 in 2007 prices) and brought in journalist Charles Edward Russell, who contributed a series of investigative articles, including "The Growth of Caste in America" (March 1907), "At the Throat of the Republic" (December 1907 - March 1908) and "What Are You Going to Do About It?" (July 1910 - January 1911) and "Colorado - New Tricks in an Old Game" (December 1910).
Other contributors during this period included Alfred Henry Lewis, Sinclair Lewis, A. J. Cronin, David Graham Phillips, George Bernard Shaw, Upton Sinclair, and Ida Tarbell. A constant presence from 1910-18 was Arthur B. Reeve, with 82 stories featuring Craig Kennedy, the "scientific detective." Magazine illustrators included Francis Attwood, Dean Cornwell, James Montgomery Flagg, and Harrison Fisher.
With a circulation of 1,700,000 in the 1930s, Cosmopolitan had an advertising income of $5,000,000. Emphasizing fiction in the 1940s, it was subtitled The Four-Book Magazine since the first section had one novelette, six or eight short stories, two serials, six to eight articles and eight or nine special features, while the other three sections featured two novels and a digest of current non-fiction books. During World War II, sales peaked at 2,000,000.
Hearst formed Cosmopolitan Productions or Cosmopolitan Pictures a film company based in New York City from 1918 to 1923 then Hollywood until 1938 for the purpose of making films out of stories published in the magazine.
The magazine began to run less fiction during the 1950s. Circulation dropped to slightly over a million by 1955, a time when magazines were overshadowed during the rise of paperbacks and television. The Golden Age of magazines came to an end as mass market, general interest publications gave way to special interest magazines targeting specialized audiences.
Helen Gurley Brown arrives[edit]
Cosmopolitan's circulation continued to decline for another decade until Helen Gurley Brown became chief editor in 1965 and remodeled the magazine as New Cosmopolitan. After countless denials by other publications, Brown finally landed an opportunity to put her perspective on a magazine.[7] The magazine was renamed again Cosmopolitan in 1967, and it was refocused as a magazine for women. The magazine eventually adopted a cover format consisting of a usually young female model typically in a low cut dress or bikini. The magazine focused on young women and published articles that openly talked about sexual issues.
This was not her first publication dealing with sexually liberating women. Her 1962 advice book, Sex and the Single Girl, had been a best seller. Fan mail begging for Brown's advice on many subjects concerning women's behavior, sexual encounters, health, and beauty flooded her after the book was released. Brown sent the message that a woman should have men complement her life, not take it over. Enjoying sex without shame was also a message she incorporated in both publications.[8]
In Brown's early years as editor, the magazine received heavy criticism. The magazine ran a near-nude centerfold of actor Burt Reynolds in April 1972, causing great controversy and attracting much attention.[9]
In April 1978, a single edition of Cosmopolitan Man was published as a trial, targeted to appeal to men. Its cover featured Jack Nicholson and Aurore Clément. It was published twice in 1989 as a supplement to Cosmopolitan.[10] Hearst abandoned this project after the company purchased Esquire.
Cosmopolitan today[edit]
The magazine, and in particular its cover stories, have become increasingly sexually explicit in tone, and covers have models wearing revealing clothes. Kroger, America's largest grocery chain, used to cover up Cosmopolitan at checkout stands because of complaints about sexually inappropriate headlines.[11] The UK edition of Cosmopolitan, which began in 1972, was well known for sexual explicitness, with strong sexual language, male nudity and coverage of such subjects as rape. In 1999 CosmoGIRL!, a spinoff magazine targeting a teenage female audience, was created for international readership. It shut down in December 2008.
The magazine currently features topics including sex, relationships, beauty, fashion and health. The advice and feature articles in the US edition are written to a presumed audience of white women.[12]
Cosmopolitan has 64 international editions worldwide published in 35 languages with distribution in more than 100 countries making Cosmopolitan the largest-selling young women's magazine in the world.[3] Some international editions are published in partnerships, such as licenses or joint ventures, with established publishing houses in each local market.
International editions are published in Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Bulgaria, Central America, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Netherlands, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, U.S. en Español, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Vietnam. Editions that had been ceased are: Denmark, Georgia, Israel, Kenya, Norway and Sweden.
Cosmopolitan has since the sixties been a women's magazine discussing such topics as sex, health, fitness and fashion. Cosmopolitan also has a section called "Ask Him Anything" where a male writer answers readers' questions about men and dating.
Awards by Cosmopolitan, and features[edit]
Fun, Fearless Male and Female of the Year: For more than a decade, the February issue has featured this award. In 2011 Russell Brand received the magazine's Fun Fearless Male of the Year Award, joining Kellan Lutz and Paul Wesley (2010), John Mayer (2008), Nick Lachey (2007), Patrick Dempsey (2006), Josh Duhamel (2005), Matthew Perry (2004), and Jon Bon Jovi (2003). In 2012, Nicole Scherzinger won the award. Mila Kunis received the 2011 Fun, Fearless Female of the Year honor, a title that had been previously awarded to Anna Faris (2010), Ali Larter (2009), Katherine Heigl (2008), Eva Mendes (2007), Beyoncé (2006), Ashlee Simpson (2005), Alicia Silverstone (2004), Sandra Bullock (2003), Britney Spears (2002), Debra Messing (2001), Jennifer Love Hewitt (2000), Shania Twain (1999) and Ashley Judd (1998)
Bachelor of the Year: Cosmopolitan's November issue features the hottest bachelors from all 50 states. Pictures and profiles of all the Bachelors are posted on www.cosmopolitan.com, where readers view and vote for their favorite, narrowing it down to six finalists. A team of Cosmopolitan editors then selects the Bachelor of the Year, who is announced at an annual party and media event in New York. The 50 bachelors generally appear on programs such as The Today Show.[13]

Practice Safe Sun: In the May 2006 issue of Cosmopolitan, the magazine launched the Practice Safe Sun campaign, an initiative aimed at fighting skin cancer by asking readers to stop all forms of tanning other than tanning from a bottle.[16] In conjunction with the campaign, Cosmo's editor-in-chief, Kate White, approached Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), known for her support of women's health issues, with concerns that women weren't fully aware of the dangers of indoor tanning and the effectiveness of the current warning labels.[17] After careful review, the Congresswoman agreed that it was necessary to recommend that the FDA take a closer look. She and Representative Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL) introduced the Tanning Accountability and Notification Act (TAN Act - H.R. 4767) on February 16, 2006.[16] President Bush signed the act in September 2007, and the new federal law requires the FDA to scrutinize the warning labels on tanning beds and issue a report by September 2008.[18]
Cosmo Blog Awards: Cosmopolitan UK launched the Cosmo Blog Awards [19] in 2010. The Awards attracted more than 15,000 entries and winning and highly commended blogs were voted for in several categories including beauty, fashion, lifestyle and celebrity. The 2011 Awards launched in August 2011 and nominations are open until 31 August 2011. All UK-based bloggers and blogs written by British blogges abroad with a British perspective can be entered.
In its January 1988 issue, Cosmopolitan ran a feature claiming that women had almost no reason to worry about contracting HIV long after the best available medical science indicated otherwise. The piece claimed that unprotected sex with an HIV-positive man did not put women at risk of infection, and went on to state that "most heterosexuals are not at risk" and that it was impossible to transmit HIV in the missionary position.[20] This article angered many knowledgeable people including AIDS and gay rights activists. In 2005 Cosmopolitan ran a promotional giveaway of free condoms in the Netherlands.
Whilst considered a magazine for adult women, Cosmopolitan has been accused of subtly targeting children.[21] These accusations stem from various factors, including the design of the magazine covers, which use extra large fonts and minimum words and the use of bright colors. Former model Nicole Weider accused the magazine of using slang "which is used by young people not adults" and using (then) underage celebrities such as Dakota Fanning and Selena Gomez as well as other celebrities popular with teens such as Ashley Greene and Demi Lovato, in an attempt to gain the attention of underage girls.[21]
Victoria Hearst, a model and granddaughter of Cosmopolitan-founder William Randolph Hearst, has lend her support to a campaign which seeks to have Cosmopolitan classified as under the guidelines of "Material Harmful to Minors" laws. Hearst states that "the magazine promotes a lifestyle that can be dangerous to women's emotional and physical well being. It should never be sold to anyone under 18".[22] Donald Clark, the secretary of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), has also shown interest in the matter.[23]

DLC Wishlist:
[ ] More Disturbed
[ ] More Coheed & Cambria
[X] More Breaking Benjamin - Nov. 1st 2011
It's been a couple of weeks since I offered up my last top ten picks, so here you go:
Anarchy Club - "Riddle Me This"
Anarchy Club - "Built to Grind"
The Haunted - "No Ghost"
The Haunted - "Trenches"
Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives - "I Don't Want to Hear About Your Crappy Boyfriend"
An Endless Sporadic - "Impulse"
Graveyard BBQ - "By the Grace of the Grill"
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - "Reap (Radio Edit)"
Amberian Dawn - "War In Heaven"
Amberian Dawn - "Field of Serpents"
On a side note, I would like to extend my support for user jhondrago's picks as well. He has been asking patiently for the two Morbid Angel tracks, as well as the Septicflesh track, for quite a while now. I'm actually pretty surprised that no one else is asking at least for the Morbid Angel ones. Morbid Angel is certainly one of the pioneers of the death metal scene, and are responsible for the best selling death metal album of all time. Honestly, I'm a little surprised that they aren't popular enough to be official DLC, let alone be an ignored RBN artist. I'm not suggesting that they're for everybody, but for the metal fans in this thread, give 'em a listen, and let's see if we can throw some support behind them, and maybe Septicflesh as well. Thanks for listening!

I reallyappreciateyour support my friend, and thanks for summon the metalheads \\m// ^-^ \\m// in our quest for bring Morbid Angel and Septicflesh to PS3 RBN. REALLY THANK YOU MY FRIEND
Many thanks for "No Holy Man." The only song right now I can think of that I'd like to see brought over is "Impulse." Oh, and I guess "Goodbye Mr. Personality," but I'm pretty sure that one will be brought over as fast as "Younger Lungs" was no matter what (being that it's a pretty big name band)

Foamy wrote:Thank you very much for the response but what does the Y move exactly do? What rearrangement does it make to three balls instead of the three we're focusing on that moment? Can't figure it out from the example...
Foamy wrote:OK.. So from what I see the algorithm should look like this:
Look for a triple containing 1 by using specific X's. When found, move it to the left using Y's until row[0]=1.
Set a "safe zone" on row[0] meaning the algorithm can't include 1 in any of its searches since it's already set properly.
Repeat until all is sorted or it's proven that it can't be.
Is it OK or I didn't get sth?
As safe zone is set to "protect" row[0], we make our see[0]=row[1], see[1]=row[2], see[2]=row[3]. Check if see[0], [1], [2]==0. Here, however, it's not so let's move:
To move, we must have made see[0]=row[2], see[1]=row[3], see[1]=row[4]
And so on...
1 is in the safe zone so we start from 3.
and so on till:
Then, we check that we're on the index 5 so we moved t times and therefore made some X's. Then, we can highliht two previous numbers:
And go like you did.
Foamy wrote:jaap - Hmm.. I came across a problem. How should I make my algorithm "see" a triplet? I mean: saving three elements to some array and then (if the next number we're looking for, say 2) if 2's not there, changing all these variables to the next triplet is extremely time consuming.
// array = array containing the current order of the balls.
mypos = 0; // array index of first of 3 balls in front of us.
for( ballnumber = 0 to array.length-2 )
//todo swap last two balls if necessary and possible
function solveBall( ballnumber ){
ballpos = array.indexOf(ballnumber) // find ball in array
while( ballpos > ballnumber ){ // ball is not yet solved
// move so that ball is the middle one in front of us
printmove( mypos-(ballpos-1), "X")
mypos = ballpos-1
// do 2Y to move ball left one step
array[mypos+1] = array[mypos+2]
array[mypos+2] = array[mypos]
array[mypos] = ballnumber
ballpos = ballpos - 1
printmove( 1, "Y")
jaap wrote:I really don't understand why you would ever want to do it that way.
Foamy wrote:jaap wrote:I really don't understand why you would ever want to do it that way.
Honestly - neither do I but couldn't think of a better algorithm.
In your code you stated that we should move so that the ball we're looking for is in the middle of our sight. But isn't looking for it to be in the third place better? Then, we move it to the beggining by just one Y.
Foamy wrote:Yakk - I don't think merge sort is a good idea here. How do we know how many Ys we should do if we simply merge sort a triple?
jaap wrote:The problem doesn't require you to use a short way to solve it
jaap wrote:I couldn't be bothered to describe code that does that because it would be twice as long
jaap wrote:(a loop with steps of 2, followed by almost the same code for a possible final step of 1).
jaap wrote:Yakk mentioned bubble sort, not merge sort which is something entirely different and inapplicable to this situation.
Foamy wrote:jaap wrote:The problem doesn't require you to use a short way to solve it
And what about time? I mean: would this looking for the ball on the third place instead of the middle make the code faster or just the results shorter?
Foamy wrote:jaap wrote:(a loop with steps of 2, followed by almost the same code for a possible final step of 1).
Hmm.. I thought of another way of implementing it. Namely: we look for our ball, then we check what (its_index-safe_zone)%3 would give us and, depending on the result, we know which position in the triple it holds.
Yakk wrote:The parity problem is interesting. The fix (rotating an element from front to back) is also interesting.
I wonder if there is an easy way to detect the parity problem? And efficiently change the parity of the proggy.
Goplat wrote:Swapping any two elements inverts the parity, as I understand it, so it should be possible to
- scan through the permutation and build a table that gives the position of each item (this is just an "indexof[permutation[i]] = i" loop)
- do a selection-sort, using the table so each element can be found in constant time rather than the usual linear time
- return whether it took an even or odd number of swaps to sort
Foamy wrote:Erm.. But what parity are you talking about and how it should help me solve the problem?
Foamy wrote:BTW: Was the algorithm I wrote above bad?
Foamy wrote:Hmm.. but would calculating the parity in the beggining make the algorithm noticeably slower? It's sure it'd make the algorithm faster for the -1 cases but what about the "normal" ones?

Although GameMaker:Studio is a jolly good piece of software, it looks very unprofessional and depressing. The old GameMaker 8(.1) layout was a lot better in my opinion – cleaner, simpler, brighter, more in the same style as other programs you would use along with it.
Half a year ago I made a blog post called GameMaker:Studio settings you should change to make it even better. This post contained the exact kind of info you'd expect, including a way to revert the style of GM:Studio.
The post generated quite a bit of traffic, even though it was actually just a post I made to try out some CSS styles on my blog.
For those that are here just to change the style, I've compiled all the steps necessary in one list – here it is:
Steps necessary to revert GM:Studio's style back to the GM8(.1) style:
Open Files > Preferences, and go to General.
- Change the skin: In the right column you'll find a list of skins. Select "GM8″.
- YoYoGames Logo: if unchecked, check the box "Do not show YoYoGames Logo on main form".
- Go to the tab Scripts and Code
- Bold keywords: Check the box "Enable BOLD on script keywords"
- Download this file and save it, and remember its location. Click the "Import" button and import the color settings.
That's all, hopefully this helped you a bit!

Tony's Off Third is a wine and pastry shop – and more – in the historic Third Street South village of Old Naples. At Tony's, owners Tony Ridgway, executive chef of the adjacent Ridgway Bar & Grill, and Sukie Honeycutt, wine expert and operations manager, offer specialty foods and wines to retail customers who expect the best.
The shop has been open for more than 20 years, and has earned kudos by many critics as well as being called "one of the best, if not the best wine shop in the country," according to Florida Trend.
The wine collection is managed by Sukie, known for her impeccable palate and connections with winemakers. She counsels customers whose cellars are among the country's finest, yet is equally delighted to introduce the infrequent wine drinker to a special vintage for evening's dinner. Sukie's specialty is small-production California wines that in some cases are found only in Tony's Off Third. She and her wine manager are on site to help guide wine lovers in their choices.
Pastry is an equally important facet of Tony's Off Third. The shop has won numerous awards for its desserts and cakes, and is one of Naples' leading bakeries. Under the personal direction of Tony, whose first passion is baking (he made his first apple pie at eight!), the bakery continues to deliver the optimum flavor in every baked treat.
The store also serves several non-alcoholic drinks including freshly brewed, hot and cold coffee and tea creations.

The bathroom remodel took at least three times as long as it should have.
Possibly four. Possibly nine.
My decision-making process was gruesomely slow and drove Paul to the brink of madness.
I mean that. Not in an exaggerated way. But in a very accurate way. It made him crazy that he could not force me to pick a tile, a grout, lights, faucets, a sink, towel bars, a shower dial thing…
But? In my quest for the perfect bathroom / making my husband crazy? I win.

Report: Ex-MSU guard Brandan Kearney transferring to ASU
During ASU's 14-3 start, Herb Sendek has received terrific contributions from his guards (Jahii Carson, Evan Gordon and Chris Colvin) but with an eye towards the future, the Sun Devils head coach has already added to the team's depth for next season.
Joe Rexrode of the Detroit Free Press reported Sunday night that former Michigan State sophomore guard Brandan Kearney will be transferring to ASU and is eligible to play in the second half of the 2013-14 season.
Kearney, who averaged 2.3 points and 1.5 rebounds per game this season, announced he was leaving Tom Izzo and Michigan State shortly after the conclusion of Christmas break.
During the Spartans' run to the Elite 8 in 2011-12, the former standout from Detroit Southeastern High School averaged a little less than 10 minutes per game.

Jean Georges Steakhouse - Aria - MGM Resorts
Online Reservations
This was my family's second trip. The first time we did not enjoy steaks because they were heavily charred. We enjoyed the steak more this time when we requested no charring. This opinion is not offered unless you ask.
My second visit,still very good.I chose the complete menu with wine pairing,the steak is out of this world,also the asparagus.All the wines are honest . The only thing that I don't like very much was the dessert but no problem,I ate too much! The service was outstanding,all plates and wines are described perfectly. Wait for me next year.
Consistantly--the best meal Ive ever had. 6th visit.
pretty much all you need to know. pricey but excellent
I didn't think the food here would be that great. Especially for the prices. Overall it was the best Filet and Rib-eye we had in awhile. The only thing that would have been nice to know is that the Rib-eye was bone-in be because that changes the actual ounces of meat you get in the end. Besides that, the side creamed corn was alright. Had Jalépenos in it so a little spicy kick would've been nice. Their black truffle mashed potatoes were to die for...even my BF loved it. And we ended the night with crème bruleé which also came with 2 cookies, 2 brownies and sorbet. Delicious! Great dinner we spent together.
Overall a great experience, awesome food, and a re-hit next time I'm in town! We had a wide selection (Scallops, Crispy Sushi, Chilean Sea Bass, Blue Cheese Crusted Fillet, Ribeye, Truffle Mac and Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus). Surprisingly for a steakhouse the Ribeye was just "good" (nothing spectacular) but everything else was a smashing hit!! We also got a few of their specialty cocktails but nothing memorable. Next time I'd go for wine or a standard off-the-shelf type cocktail. The molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was the perfect size dessert When I go again the must haves would be: Crispy Sushi Appetizer Chilean Sea Bass Scallops Truffle Mac N Cheese
The main difference between steak places to me is the sides. They all have great steak and the porterhouse for 2 and the Tomahawk were awesome. What sets this place apart is the appetizers, which were really good, especially the burrata with tomatoes- it was creamy and the balsamic was almost sweet and not tart at all. The sides are not typical steak house portions; they're actually individual sized, so sharing is a little difficult. They were nice enough the take the jalepenos out of the corn for the kids. BRING BACK THE Foi Gras. Us Cali people need Foi as often as possible when we're out there.
Perfect experience! Our server team was absolutely wonderful!
I booked a reservation here for myself and my new husband on the recommendation of some dear friends who are well versed in the Las Vegas restaurant scene. Jean Georges did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were treated fabulously, congratulated on our wedding, offered champagne, etc. Every bite of food we tasted was wonderful, which is not something we EVER say. My husband is quite the foodie, and I find it near impossible to knock his socks off, but Jean Georges delivered. He had the Wagyu 6oz filet, black and blue, I the 10 oz aged Australian strip. Black truffle mashed potatoes as a side. My honey said the beef was the best steak he's eaten, and the potatoes the best dish EVER. We're coming back.
Awesome food, great customer service. Waitor and managers were very nice. Would recommend to anyone.
Service was very good thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.
We would recommend this to anyone but our poor friends.
Our waiter gave us great recommendations as well as being very aware of my food allergies.
With so many excellent restaurants to choose from in Las Vegas, picking one can be daunting. Jean Georges Steakhouse at the Aria won't disappoint. The Aria is my favorite casino/hotel on the strip, so it's fitting that they would also be home to one of my favorite restaurants. This was actually my second time dining there on two successive trips. Be prepared to spend approximately $200/pp when all is said and done, but don't let that scare you away. I highly recommend starting with the Chilled Seafood Platter (amazing!), followed by the Wagyu filet mignon.
The restaurant was very good, the ambience was romantic, the food was very good but very pricey. I really enjoyed the grilled peach salad, but my New York strip wasn't good enough for the price! Although I enjoyed the dinner, I have gone to better restaurants in the same price category that were better! The vegetables were bland that I actually had to ask for a salt shaker!
We had dinner at Jean George as part of Restaurant Week. My wife and I each ordered a different main, her the steak and I had the short ribs. Both were great - particularly the short ribs, falling apart with a great sauce. The starter soup and salad were tremendous, very different and flavorful. Dessert was equally good Highly recommended (but not cheap)
Food was great, service was so so. I thought the sea bass was a home run, the passion fruit desert was probably the best desert I've had in my life. Great tasting food just a little pricey, but hey your in Vegas!!
300 day aged NY Strip......might be the best steak I've ever had.
Of course, the steaks are very delicious. I, especially, want to say that the wine we drank is the great wine. It is "Switchback". However, it is reasonable. We were satisfied with the steak, wine, and services.
Ambience is just right, wait staff is constantly checking on your every desire, food is excellent and drinks are great.
Best steak we've ever had! Truffle Mac and cheese to die for. Will definitely head back next time.
A wonderful place for a special evening. The service is outstanding. Try the chef's tasting menu. It's a must. And don't forget a wine pairing. The selections perfectly compliment each course.
Jean Georges is an amazing restaurant with amazing food & service.
Was recommended this restuarant by a friend and decided to try it after a hectic few days in Vegas celebrating our daughters wedding! It was just what my husband and I needed to wind down and spend some time together. John our waiter was excellent as was our waitress who were both knowledgeable and attentive. The food particularly the steaks were to die for and the best we've had in the US. The wine list was world class and our sommelier was on hand to help us out when needed. The ambience and setting were great, all in all a 10/10 all around. Do yourself a favour and try this restuarant out when you are next in Vegas you will not regret it! Mary and Neil Sydney Australia
日本から旅行で来ました。 価格も分かりやすく、料理も美味しかった。 ワインコースのシェアを頼んだが快く了解もらえた。 次もまた行きたい。
The food was excellent as was the service. Acouple of my fellow diners were louder than I would have liked but other than that it was great.
I am from the Midwest so buying a good steak is sometimes difficult being I get great steaks at home. The steak I had here was perfect! Perfectly cooked great flavor, and the service was beyond excellent!
Second time we have dined at Jean Georges, The Ribeye steak was cooked to perfection and the flavour of the caesar salad was delicious. Although it felt the service was inattentive at times, the food was delicious. Will be included on our next trip to Vegas
We went to Jean Georges pre-Zarkana. Would have liked a private table, but the tables for two are set up as booths on one side, so you sit right next to your neighbor. Decor is really nice. Had to ask for the early evening menu, which was exactly what we would have ordered anyway. The heirloom tomato salad is fantastic. Steak was cooked perfectly also. Loved the macaroni and mushrooms as sides. Dessert was also fabulous. The sauces they bring for your steak are what make this place super special. Overall, a great dinner. Would highly recommend.
I can't stress enough how AMAZING the Mac & Cheese with truffles was!!
This is a high level, 5 star restaurant with excellent food and outstanding service. Be prepared to spend a lot of money, especially if you choose a bottle from their wine list.
I took a group of 8 for dinner...The service was impeccable and the food matched... I had the bacon wrapped shrimp...wow..and followed it with eht short ribs...fab...a really great restaurant experience... and noise level was ok for conversstion,,bravo!
I am a Sales Director for a large international company. I entertain customers often. This was the best restaurant I have taken clients to....EVER!!!
We went for dinner with 2 other couples and we really liked the place and the food. We all agreed we would go back but on this occasion we were unlucky with the waiter who served us. We had to ask for everything twice. He really did not seem to into his job, serving! Never were we offered desserts snd coffee or after dinner drinks, we had to request the menus after a long wait. At the end of the meal we had run up a sizeable tab and someone in our party asked him for some cookies, he said they did not have any. We found that hard to believe, he could have scrounged up something and made a little effort. All in all the food was delicious and the place really cool, I would go back but request another server.
My girls friends and I have been coming for about 4 years, twice a year, and always have the most amazing meal and service. Thank you. Dena Channell
This place makes you feel like you are royalty. From the greeters, to the waiters, to the asst. waiters to the bus boys - it's all the same. They want to make you feel important and they succeed.
The food was excellent as was the service. However portions are extremely small for the price. What a shame. Restaurant should learn that having a name does not fill a plate or get customers to return.
My wife and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. We have been to several steakhouses in Vegas before. This is compeer able to some of the others like Gordon Ramsay's Steak and better than most. This steakhouse has a variety of steak sauces to accompany their meat selection. I enjoyed the habanero sauce. The side items were tasty as well, especially the Brussel sprouts, and mushrooms. The wait staff was attentive all evening. The only slight negative is the tables are too close together. You can easily hear everyone near you...and they can hear you which makes for awkward intimate conversations.
Hello, I especially loved the food and ambiance here. Our server(s) were a little pushy with picking our wine selection, as well as removing our plates. When my party and I are picking a $200+ bottle of wine, guests should have free range of looking over the selections at their leisure. Overall, the food was perfect and I will definitely be back.
We dined here to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary and asked for a quiet table, however I doubt there was a quiet area in the restaurant, the noise was unbelievable, why do restaurants think it necessary always to have music playing, it adds absolutely nothing to the ambience. Having said that the food and service could not be faulted
Excellent in all regards. Food, service and atmosphere..
We heard about Jean George and thought we give it a try. Very nice staff very helpful and quick which we appreciate. The food was just incredible, everything tasted so good. Perfectly seasoned and very tender. This is a place I would absolutely go back t and recommend to anyone who wants a great steak. Considering the quality of the food I don't think it's over priced. It's absolutely worth the money.
Loved it. Frank and Joseph (server/waiter) were fantastic.
Excellent but pricey. Service was great and staff was friendly.
An excellent restaurant in the same tradition as his New York hot spot. All four of us had steak and in each instance it was cooked perfectly as ordered. The appetizers also were perfect portion size and incredibly tasty. Amazing wine list. However - this restaurant can be a "wallet buster" - as with many of the same genre' in Vegas - so be prepared for a big bill at the end of the meal. That being said, if you don't mind spending the money - it will be a memorable and delicious meal with first class service.
The food and the service was outstanding. Make sure to try the truffle mac and cheese! We took a client with a group of 6 and experienced the best 5 star service we have had in years. We went to another steak house the following night that was very good, but could not match Jean Georges.
My husband and I truly enjoyed our dinner at Jean Gorges Steakhouse. We loved the decor (we're an architect / interior designer couple) and the food was incredible! I ordered the 8 oz filet and my husband got the short ribs. The mashed potatoes were a great side as well. I also talked the waiter into adding (2) scallops (for an extra cost of course) onto my filet. They were OUTSTANDING, cooked absolutely perfect and melted in my mouth. It's pricey - but worth it.
The best salmon I ever had. Dining selections were innovative and interesting. All dishes very well prepared and presented.beautiful
We had a wonderful dinner at Jean Georges. We went with the tastings menu along with the wine pairings and it was incredible. We will definitely return.
This restaurant has a very friendly and inviting atmosphere. It is quiet and the lighting for each table is just right. The food and service was very good. I would definitely go back again.

- It is soothing to the stomach and helps prevent stomach ulcers.
- It has anti-inflammatory effects.
- It is also known to be an anti-aging super food.
So, eat up those sweet potatoes, friends!

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 vegetable bouillon cube (mix with 1/4 cup of hot water so it dissolves)

NetJets Falcon 7X by Lord Norman Foster
Filed under: Wings
When NetJets Europe placed the largest order in business aviation history with manufacturer Dassault, for 33 Falcon 7X aircraft, they decided that the $1.5 billion worth of jets needed a little something special. The company commissioned British architect Lord Norman Foster (above) to design the interior and exterior of the high-tech planes, the fastest Falcon ever made. Foster drew on his experience both as a pilot and a NetJets client for the project, the result of which was just unveiled. The 33 7X's are being integrated into the NetJets fleet over the next eight years.
Foster's 7X is "thematically zoned into a well-being space for customers and a work space for crew." The passenger cabin is "light and tranquil" featuring leather seating, a cream and tan color scheme and Fiddleback Sycamore wood fittings. Foster designed the seating arrangements to accommodate both business meetings and an "enhanced sleeping and dining experience." The work area is markedly different with an industrial vibe featuring a grey and black color scheme, employing carbon fiber and steel for the galley and crew areas.

Posted: Jan 24, 2013 2:29 PM by The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District says a principal failed on two occasions to let officials know about sexual abuse claims against a veteran teacher who was arrested this week on similar allegations.
Superintendent John Deasy said Thursday the former principal at George De La Torre Jr. Elementary School didn't notify district officials of claims against 57-year-old Robert Pimentel. Deasy says the first report was four years ago at the school and the other was eight years ago at another elementary school where both the principal and Pimentel had worked.
Deasy sought to have both the principal and Pimentel fired, but both retired after the allegations surfaced last March.
Pimentel faces 15 felony counts and is expected to appear Thursday in a Long Beach courtroom. He's being held on $12 million bail.

Chernobyl – 25 years later - what have we learned?
CHERNOBYL, Ukraine – 26 April, 2011 – On 26 April, 1986 a massive chemical explosion, estimated to be more than 100 times powerful than the atomic weapons used in World War II, released more than 500 dangerous radionuclides into the atmosphere. See: our photo essay on Chernobyl in Ukraine Watch: video of UN Secretary-General in Ukraine, honouring those who helped to "save the world" in the aftermath of the accident Watch: UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Maria Sharapova's video message of hope on Chernobyl anniversary
As a result of the accident, more than 200,000 square kilometres in Europe were exposed to high levels ofCaesium-37 radioactive contamination. Over 70 percent of this area was in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
According to official reports, thirty-one people died during the first year after the accident and 600,000 people involved in fire fighting and clean-up operations were exposed to the high doses of radiation.
"We stand in solidarity with those affected by the tragedy," says Ms. Sharapova, whose family was displaced from Gomel, one of the affected areas in Belarus, in the wake of the 1986 disaster. "Today, while the anniversary is filled with sadness, we also acknowledge that this is a time for hope, as we move forward in building a better future for all those whose lives have been changed by this tragedy." Sharapova has been a Goodwill Ambassador for UNDP since 2007. >> Tennis star Maria Sharapova gives $250,000 for UNDP Chernobyl projects |
Based on official reports, near 8,400,000 people in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia were exposed to radiation. About 155,000 square kilometres in the three countries were contaminated.
Agricultural areas covering nearly 52,000 square kilometres were contaminated with cesium-137 and strontium-90, with 30-year and 28-year half-lives respectively.
Approximately 220,000 people were resettled but millions continued to live in an environment where continued residual exposure created a range of adverse effects. >> Learn more about the history of Chernobyl
It was, without a doubt, the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, classified at level seven on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale.
As of 2011, the former "exclusion zone" is now open for tourists, albeit for limited periods of time.
Today, most of the Chernobyl-affected areas are safe for living, but investors are wary of anything associated with the disaster.
As a result, affected areas suffer from high unemployment and poverty, while residents suffer from victim syndrome, a dependency culture, a high level of mistrust of experts and authorities and lack the information they need to lead healthy, productive lives.
While significant progress has been achieved in giving these communities the lives they had before the Chernobyl disaster, there is still work to be done to realize full social and economic recovery, and the restoration of livelihoods," said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark during her visit to Chernobyl in December 2010.
UNDP support to communities affected by the Chernobyl accident
In 2004, United Nations support to Chernobyl shifted from humanitarian assistance to development aid, with UNDP assuming a coordination role of Chernobyl issues.

UNDP in Belarus, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation works with Chernobyl affected communities on issues related to:
- economic development and investment that will promote growth and new jobs;
- education;
- reproductive health;
- the environment;
- community development; and
- promoting healthy lifestyles.
UNDP places particular significance on communicating objective, scientifically sound information about the effects of Chernobyl.
A new Information and Computer Technology (ICT) centre was just opened in Druzhnya village in Ukraine to help local residents access practical information on how to deal with health risks and maintain healthy lifestyles in the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident.
The centre was established as part of the International Chernobyl Research and Information Network, a United Nations initiative which establishes internet information centres in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.
Detailed information on radiological safety for people living in Chernobyl-affected areas is available on chernobyl.info.
Chernobyl, Japan and the future
United Nations Secretary-General in Ukraine to mark the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl |
Ukraine hosted several international events this April, including the Summit on the Safe and Innovative use of Nuclear Energy, and a conference, Chernobyl, 25 Years On: Safety for the Future.
"It was one thing to hear and to read about the Chernobyl disaster. It is another totally different experience to see it," said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on 20 April when he visited the site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
The recent power plant accident in Japan, like the Chernobyl disaster 25 years ago, calls for "deep reflection" on the future of nuclear energy, said Mr. Ban, as he outlined a five-step plan to enhance nuclear safety at the Summit on the Safe and Innovative Use of Nuclear Energy.
"As we are painfully learning once again, nuclear accidents respect no borders," he said.
Mr. Ban said that both the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine in 1986 and the accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant last month raise popular fears and disturbing questions, while offering lessons for the global community.
"This is a moment for deep reflection: How do we ensure both the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and maximum safety? We need a global rethink on this fundamental question," he said.
"The population of Ukraine has unique experience in dealing with the consequences of global catastrophe," said Elena Panova, Deputy Country Director of UNDP in Ukraine.
"We empathize with the tragedy that the Japanese people are going through," said Victoria Naumenko, a resident of Druzhnia. "We have experienced this and we know what people in Japan feel."
"The Ukrainian people, perhaps like no other, understand deeply the tragic events in Japan and realizes the complexity of tasks facing the Japanese people after the earthquake, tsunami, and resulting nuclear accident," said President Viktor Yanukovych at the Kyiv Summit on Safe and Innovative Use of Nuclear Energy.
"Chernobyl and Fukushima showed that nuclear accident management requires mobilization of scientific, technical and resource potential of the entire international community."
