Chicago >Food & Dining > Noodles In The Pot
3257 N Broadway, Chicago, IL | Directions 6065741.941784 -87.644331
Neighborhoods: Lakeview, North Side
I just had the most bizare experience – I just had the strangest experience... I have eaten lots of times at Joy Noodles and have always had a great experience... and paid with a credit card. Tonight I brought friends in for a bite, told them how great it was... and it was, everything we ordered was good, service was the best... TO A POINT!!!! WTF???? We came with only a credit card, I have never paid with anything other than a credit card, because we sat at one table and not one more to the south we had to pay with cash. The waiter did not let us know that, (there is a sign inside). After much discussion and a rude altercation with the owner we did come up with enough for the ticket however only after the owner called the police because we were stealing from him. ABSOLUTELY horrible experience. I can not believe I was treated this way by a restaurant that I frequent, that is in my neighborhood and that I brought people into to introduce them to it.
Joy Noodles... F@*k You!!!!!!
Amazing Thai food – Great atmosphere, Great food, Great service, and i Love Thai Ice Tea. ^_^. Best Thai food in all Chicago
Fun and Reliable – A great place to go with friends on a weeknight. Take a couple bottles of wine and enjoy the consistently good, although basic dishes. The food is standard Thai fare, but is well done with generous portions - a great value. Service is friendly and there are certainly sure to be some characters to enjoy in this Boystown favorite. A fun place for friends, but I wouldn?t recommend it for a date or a romantic experience.
Yummy Food – The food and service here is great. Joy's can get busy at peak meal times. Great people watching too.
best thai in chicago – joy's is probably the best thai place north of downtown. Their food is outstanding---flavorful and very generous portions. Their noodles are fantastic as are their curry dishes. Their prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Their delivery service is prompt and friendly (and you can order online!) I can't say anything negative about this place.
excellent food! – excellent food, was seated promptly, comfortable atmosphere, highly recommended, need to say more?
Great food. Great prices. – I loved this restaurant so much ... my waistline grew to match. Food is great and is affordable for any budget.
Great Beef Salad – Love the Beef Salad! But the bubble teas are not that great, the tapiocas are clumped together.
We always order delivery to work and we all smell like onions and garlic...yummm-o!
Great all around – Discovered this place when I was new to the neighborhood & it has remained a favorite. Cheap, great portion size, delicious. Even if you don't "know" Thai food, you're likely to find something you like on the menu. The free appetizers with lunches during the week are always fresh & delicious. I love the Pad Thai, Phuket Noodles, the curries... I could go on & on. The service is always speedy & the waiters never balk if you ask that something be left out or added to your dish.
What can't I say? – Joy's is a place that will leave a lasting impression and leave you wanting to come back time and time again. Their food is always fresh, flavorful, inexpensive and you will almost always go home with leftovers! I can honestly say that my friends and I count down the days until we go to Joy's next and know that we are getting some of, if not the best Thai food in town. We are huge fans of the newly redone menu, which now features appetizers such as crab rangoon(the best I've ever had) and old favorites like Pad Thai and Fried Rice. Kudos to the staff who are professional and by far the best around. Take out is fast and is always the same quality as when you dine in. Joy's had made it's staple in Lakeview that we hope never disappears.

The guys in my local telechoice store know the optus pre-paid products better than the guys in the optus retail outlet...they will need to focus on employee product training if they want good customer retention.
Come to think of it, it wasn't hard to know more; as the guys in the Optus store told me everything wrong about the $2 days prepaid, I had to show them the brochure to convince them that they were wrong on several fronts (everything they said). They pretty much made up everything they told me, good thing I went in their knowing what I wanted.
ps I only went to the Optus store after discovering that the Telechoice store had no stock.....

Neighborhoods: East Oak Hill, Oak Hill
Well things have taken a turn for the better at this location. I have been a loyal customer of Lambs for 11 years, but in the last 2 years my service at this location has changed and not for the better. Now I have met the new manager ,it turns out I was referred to him when he worked for another company dued to his great reviews ,but being a lambs customer I stuck it out here, It is nice to have a manager that truly cares about his customers more than just making a buck, he explained what was needed,what needs to be adressed within 6months and never pressure me to buy it all today.I took the time to read this mans reviews at the other shop they were dead on as to how it carries himself and treats his customers. He stated they were very busy and it would be 2-3 hours to complete my vehicle and asked if a ride was needed, I recieved a call 2.5 hours later stating my vehicle was complete. I really enjoyed sitting in his waiting room and listening as to how he spoke to other customers and his employees, very professional, but definitly in charge of what was happening at all times. Lambs should take great pride in having Colton running this location, Now I am telling my friends that were referring me to his former employer, That I understand what they were talking about and rubbing it in that he is now part of the Lambs team.
Keep up the great job!
Top Notch – Lambs is by far the only shop left that feels like service is not just a standard but a matter of pride. No pun intended! Sunday night found me with an ugly flat tire; by noon Monday, all was well, after they managed to squeeze me in over lunch. Yay for the speedy, kind and always accommodating service.
I had to buy a battery – I have been here several times, this time it was to buy a battery. The next day, a warning light was on pointing toward an alternator problem. I took the car in again and it did not need a new alternator. They repaired it and it didn't cost much at all. They could have gotten me for a new alternator, and they did not. It is this kind of honesty that keeps me as a loyal Lamb's customer.
Wasn't Pleased – Charged me for a full inspection when all I needed was to figure out why my car wasn't starting. I felt like I was being scammed.
this place is a scam!! Avoid it like your mother-in-law! – This place is a scam!! I took it in for a regular oil change and this guy puts in synthetic oil which I never asked for. But that's no big deal because next time I'll go somewhere else and just have them put in the regular oil. Here's the scam part: for "your convenience" they do a check up on your car.
Coincidentally they come back with a bunch of defects and showed it to me. They must think I'm ignorant or something because the defects are not even visible!! Not to mention I just had a huge check up a the dealer's for which I still have warranty; if the defects were genuine I would have to take back to the dealer under the warranty. I told the guy that but he dismissed the dealer's mechanic as an amateur whose license should be revoked!...Yeah right.
Then he points out how the dealer's mechanic missed the 'defective' tires on my car. Funny, neither the dealer's mechanic nor the guys at discount tires whom I bought 2 tires from and frequent alot over the years mentioned anything about defective tires. I guess their licenses should be revoked too!!
This place is just a scam. Beware people!!! Know your car and don't let them rip you off; they will play into your sense of insecurity and fear of having an unsafe car!!! Don't feel pressured.
If you really want a piece of mind, take your car to a different shop or dealer for a second opinion.
Lies lies lies – We recently bought 4 minivan tires with road hazard warranty through Lamb's thinking it would cover us if something happened to one of the tires...wrong. My wife had a gash in one of the tires so she took it to good ole Lambs where they told her "Everything will be fine! Ill bet you're glad you got the road hazard warranty?" The guy went on to tell her not to worry and everything will be taken care of. When I went to pick up the MINIVAN with stock rims (nothing special) the guy again said how fortunate I was to have the "Road Hazard Warranty". Then he proceeded to check me out saying there were some "small fees". At that point he charged me $64 which included another charge for Road Hazard. WOW! I sure was glad to have the "Warranty"!
"Best in Austin for customer satisfaction" - Here is a lie from the Lambs website. Everyone i've told this story to has laughed at me for even trying Lambs! Still waiting to hear something positive. I hope you are reading this BEFORE going to Lambs.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Donna55 Disappointed I bought three, twenty piece sets just before Thanksgiving. They looked very nice, were a good weight, and all stainless steel. The set I had, was great! I had it for over THIRTY YEARS! Never had a problem, and STILL in great shape. The only thing is, many pieces were lost, or thrown away over the years. The new ones get all RUSTY in the grooves on the handles!! Also, the tines on the forks are all bent!! Never again. I thought the name Pfaltzgraph stood for more. March 19, 2014

Don't Bother- Service Has Gone Downhill – If you make a reservation for dinner at Teak Thai, don't expect them to honor it. We made reservations an hour in advance on Open Table and when we arrived, we were told that Teak didn't have our table because they hadn't seen the reservation. The hostess offered some convoluted explanation about how they honor phone reservations first and don't check the web reservations often. Despite the fact that the restaurant was only half full, we were told we'd have to wait 10 to 15 minutes for a table. If Teak isn't willing to honor the terms of Open Table, they have no business using the service. Teak's been going downhill for a while, but this experience was the final straw. There are too many good Thai restaurants in Cincinnati to bother with the poor service at Teak. After we left, we went to another Thai restaurant with food of the same quality, lower prices, and infinitely better service.
Excellent Asian food – The food and the service at Teak are great. I have never orded a bad dish. I would recomend everything.
Great food, great service – My boyfriend and I went to Teak on a wednesday night thinking that they had half off sushi. When we arrived, we realized that it was half off appetizers and drinks only if you sit at the bar. The place was relatively quiet so we decided to give it a go and ordered a few tap beers and the mussel appetizer.
My boyfriend thought his beer was a little on the warm side, but mine was cold and delicious. Also, I have no doubt that if we would have nicely asked the waiter for a different, more chilled beer, he would have obliged. The mussels were pretty good and the spicy sauce it came with was surprising. How often do you get a spicy sauce that is actually spicy?!?! :) We then ordered a sushi roll; I can't remember the name of it, but it was something to do with "Spicy Spider" and had crab in it.
Holy cow.
Pretty phenomenal looking and tasting. In addition to a generous portion of rolls, there was a MOUND of spicy deliciousness on top. When I asked what it was, it didn't seem like any of the staff knew FOR SURE, but they did know the basics of the dish.
The bartender working was friendly and played a lot of Radiohead, which was much appreciated. We were impressed with the staff in general, who seemed eager to make conversation and give suggestions. We will definitely go back to Teak!
Nasty Food, WORST POSSIBLE Service, RUDE Management – I have been to Teak several times with OK experiences but my recent visit will definitely be my last! After being quoted 20 minutes for a table, a friend and myself pushed through the bar crowd to order a beer which ended up taking 20 minutes to get do to the bartender sticking to one end of the bar where he obviously knew the crowd. We didn't bother ordering another while we ended up waiting an hour and a half for a table (for 2!!!). The host AND hostess were beyond rude and repeatedly gave me glares when I would ask about the table. Our waitress took her good old time and we ended up waiting another 20 minutes just to order a drink. I received my sushi (not so good!) about 15 minutes before my friend received hers and don't even get me started on the disgusting restrooms! When trying to comment to the Manager, he just looked at me and walked away while I was still talking!! We planned on heading out for a bit after dinner but we had no time after our 3 hour meal and NO patience left! By far, the worst dining experience I have ever had in Cincinnati! Trust me, anyone who has given this place a good review has obviously not branched out to other restaurants in the area! You couldn't pay me to eat here again!
worst service EVER – ok, we had a reservation for 16 people, at 7:45. the reservation was made nearly a week in advance, and they had even rescheduled us, per their request. we get there on a saturday nite, it's completely packed, and there we are, stuck in the bar waiting. keep in mine, we had my 3yr old son w/us.
between the waiters being completely rude, making comments about everyone being in the way, and the manager continuing to tell us it'd only be 15 more minutes before our table was ready.... we should have just left then. finally at 9:15 we were seated.
they tried to sit us at two totally separate tables!! trying to speak with the manager was like trying to teach a fish how to walk. he simply could NOT understand why we were not ok with having two tables, across the room from each other! HELLO? if it didn't matter, we wouldn't have made a RESERVATION!
the food was so-so, nothing to really write home about, but the remaining service we received was just as horrible. no one got their food even remotely at the same time, in fact, one of our friends finally received her sushi, as the rest of us were getting our checks.
it was the WORST dining experience of my life, i would NEVER EVER go back there, and a few of our friend who used to be frequent diners there, will also never be going back. at the end of our meal, we asked to speak w/the manager about all the issues, and his words were "We don't need your money, we have plenty"
so there you go folks.
Awful Food/Dirty Establishment – First thing- Step into the bathroom- the lack of cleanliness is overwhelming- ie:roaches walking across the floor in and around the bathroom, also on the terrace. If you can't keep the bathroom clean, what do you think is the kitchen looks like...?
As for the food - definetly not authentic and not even tasty. The dishes use low quality ingredients overall- inlcuding fatty cuts of meat,etc. WEehad the curries - very dissapointing.. We didn't try the sushi b/c i figured if the cooked food wasn't good, why would I risk eating the raw fish from them.
I have had a many good dining experiences in my 6 months living in Cincinnati -and this falls way short. My explanation for the variations of reviews is the bad palate of the reviewers, in other words if they have never had good Thai food then they don't know what to compare it too which is why this food may taste fine to them but not to those that have had tat least decent and/or authentic Thai food.
So far this is my worst dining experience in the area by far. It's dirty, bad prices, bad food and bad service.
Only postive is the look of this place and cool outdoor area which is what drew us in-but after having experienced it, it is not worth my or your time or money.
Sushi was pretty good – My friends and I ate at Teak last night and had mixed feelings about the dining experience. We made reservations 4 days before for 7. ****Make reservations for an even number, one person will sit at the end of the table.
When asked to add another table to not be cramped, the host replied "your reservation was for 7". Even TGI Fridays will accommodate a simple request. Not to make a scene we sat at the table given. Next we sat next to the dish drop off and main aisle of the floor. I threw most of my trash away before the waitress did.
Food was pretty good. Order from the sushi menu.
Better ambiance at pf changs. It reminded me of eating at a chineese buffet in a strip mall.
My review may be more bias to the experience, but when you go out you want to be pampered. If not, stay at home and eat smart ones.
All in all, worth going once for the sushi.
Overpriced Doodo atop Mt. Adams – MnM Cincinnati Authentic Thai tasting food search. Our reviews of Cincinnati area Thai resturants or places that advertise Thai cusine is focused only on the taste of the food. Our credentials: Mark lived in Thailand for 10 years, 4 in the US Peace Corps. Mai is from Thailand & cooks amazing Thai food.
In terms of taste, Teak Thai House was very disappointing despite the excitement of seeing & speaking w/ Thai's, which does not guarentee quality Thai tasing food. It all really depends on ownership. We ordered steamed muscles w/ nam jim (a lime, chili sauce) which was delicious & tasted Thai. (This dish is easy if U get the sauce correct.) It was more than a $1 per muscle which was expesive for such a simple dish. Next was the stir fried pork & gren beans. The taste was correct but at $15 bucks- OUTRAGEOUS! Better to go to Thai Express, as this is a simple Thai street food dish. Next up, drum roll please... Pla Neung Manow (Wallyeye fish in spciy sour soup). We were excited to see this basic but classic Thai dish. Had not seen it anywhere else in Cincinnati yet. This entre is supposed to be spicy and sour, never sweet! It was a bit sweet. The broth which appeaed to have most of the ingredents tasted canned, not fresh. (Meaning we could taste metal.) This dish is supposed to be a WHOLE FISH resting in a long soup dish, perched above flame. THERE WAS ONLY HALF A FISH! That's right. They cut the fish down the middle & served only one side! Never is this entree served like that. And at $35 bucks- a total rip off of the customer. WE were shocked. Not very good and shorted on the meal. Total BS & Crapy taste! They also mixed the fresh cut chilies with oil, instead of vinegar, lime or fish sauce. That is European, not Thai. We suspect the good reviews you have read are from people who do not have experience eating real Thai food. If you are interested, try Green Papapya in Hyde Park for a more authentic meal. More reviews in the works.
Goodluck MnM
DISAGREE with negative reviews – I STRONGLY disagree with the negative reviews concerning this restaurant. My wife and I eat at Teak at least once a month and have done so over a year. EVERY time we have done so it has been a positive experience. We have always had prompt, good service and the food has been consistently well above par. In reading thru the other reviws I see a great variation in ratings. Hard to figure this out unless it is the result of changing employees. I would suggest that if you had a bad experience there give it one more try. You may be pleasantly surprised.
We loved it! – Great food, Pad Thai, sushi, crab wontons, spring rolls. We were impressed with everything. We went on a Friday night, usually crowded and were told we would wait around 30 minutes. I don't think it was more than 15 and while service could have been a little faster we didn't mind since we were there with friends and having good conversation.

Penton, 43, was born and reared in the Roy Webb and Pleasant Valley communities.. During the summers, while he was attending Pleasant Valley School, he helped build houses. When he graduated from Pleasant Valley, he went to work in the spinning department at Standard-Coosa-Thatcher Mill in Piedmont. He worked there from 1989-92.
He left SCT to work with his father in the insurance business for the next two years. He thought he'd like to go back to building houses, so for the next three years, that's what he did.
He wasn't satisfied though. He felt he wasn't where he needed or wanted to be.
"I was looking for a career change," he said. "My sister-in-law, Sandy Parker, gave me a name to call about selling insurance. It was J. C. Ralph, area manager of Alfa. It just took off from there."
Ralph interviewed Penton, had him take a test and hired him.
That was in August 1997. Penton said it seems to be the perfect fit. He sells a multi-line of insurance, including auto, home and life.
"The Lord really blessed me when He put me in this position with Alfa," he said. "They've really taken good care of me and my family."
Penton has been a member of Liberty Baptist Church for the past 15 years.
As a Sunday school teacher at Liberty, he did a lot of deep thinking and felt as if something was pulling him to go in a certain direction. He just didn't know what direction that was.
"I asked the Lord if there was something else He wanted me to do, to please let me know," said Penton. "I had it on my heart that He wanted me to preach. I asked my pastor about it and he said he was just waiting for me to announce it."
Penton's first sermon was at Liberty's homecoming August 2012.
Since January, he's pastored Goshen Valley Baptist Church.
"We have a great congregation," Penton said. "We're a small country church in a country setting. My church and Alfa have made my life and my job so easy."
Penton and the former Tammi Holland will be married 24 years in December. They have two sons.
Will, 18, is a graduate of Spring Garden and is a freshman at Gadsden State. He assists with football coaching at Spring Garden. Hayden, 15, is in ninth grade at Spring Garden.
Penton likes to hunt and fish, but he said whatever he does, most of the time it's with his family.
"Ever since we've been married, our lives have revolved around our children and church," he said. "We vacation together and do just about everything together."

Driver cites dad's help in dirt track win
Local Modified racer Steve Bowers Jr. counts last year's victory in the Steve Bowers Sr. Memorial race at Heartland Park Topeka as one of the biggest wins of his dirt track career.
But Bowers isn't sure how much he had to do with the win.
"I started out fifth or sixth row, around there, and worked up to the top five," Bowers said. "With about 10 to 12 laps to go I started to reel in (Cody) Agler.
"He had led that whole race and with about three to go I worked him on the high side and finally got around him. All I've got to say is that wasn't me driving. It was my dad."
Bowers' father died after a July 4th, 2009, racing accident at Thunderhill Speedway, and Steve Jr.'s win came in HPT's first race honoring the memory of Steve Sr.
"It was kind of amazing because he kind of took over the steering wheel and put me in victory lane," said Bowers, who will be shooting for a repeat in the second annual memorial race Saturday night at HPT. "It was a good night and a blessing from the sky that we ended up winning the race.
"That was probably the best one I ever won right there."
Bowers was also humbled by the car count and fan attendance for the 2010 event.
"We had a B Feature last year in the A Modifieds and also in the B Mods," he said. "All the fans were going wild, and that's what I like to see there. That's all my dad would have liked to have seen is the support of him. It was pretty cool for me to be there."
Saturday's race will feature a $1,000 prize to win in the Modified class, $400 in B Mods, $350 in Factory Stock and $225 in Pure Stock. Spectator gates will open at 6 p.m. with hot laps at 6:45 and racing at 7:30.
Steve Jr. would have to be on the short list of top Modified contenders Saturday after dominating the division and winning the HPT track championship last season.
Bowers, who debuted a new car at the start of the season, is currently fifth in points, but happy with the way he's running.
"Our car's working a little bit," he said. "We had some bad luck at the beginning of the season, but we worked it out and have picked up some wins. We're going pretty good."
Bowers also operates a chassis-building business and is pleased with how those cars are performing.
"My other SB cars are going in the right direction — they've got some wins, too," Bowers said. "All the SB cars that race here all have a win this year.
"It kind of makes it cool when you see your own car win out there. If I run second behind my car, that's like a win for me. We all go celebrate."

A natural pink with blue sheen.
Great for a natural look for afternoon/evenings.
Quite drying on the lips.
Packaging could be revised. Twisting the case when closed moves the lipstick too.

The best color ever. It goes well with any makeup, any outfit, and any occasion. It is not too pale, not too boring, not too loud, not too bright, not too light, and not to dark. It is just right.
Although I like this color, I would like to pay less for this. I think it would be hard to find this color anywhere else because it shines differently than other lipsticks.

This is my go-to lipstick. I love it for everyday and it is the one I reach for most often. I love that it is pink but not too bright or too brown. It does have a blue undertone but it is not what I would call a bluish pink - the blue is subtle. It is just fresh and pretty. I also like the formulation in that it is not sticky or thick. Sometimes I put gloss over it and sometimes I don't but it looks great with everything. I will buy it as long as they keep making it.

This is my HG MLBB shade. It has beat out my other love, MAC Syrup. I agree with others' descriptions of this shade as being a mauvey-rose with blue iridescence. This lippie really brightens up my face and gives it a look of health. I really like wearing it to work. The formulation is nice; very moisturizing and comfortable to apply. Overall I love it and will be on the hunt for a dupe because I'm less-than-trilled at spending $22 on a lipstick.

From the moment I tried it on at the Lancome counter, the blue/purple tint in this color made my eyes pop and the mauvy/rose shade made my face glow. Now these are the things I look for when purchasing a lipstick!

Amazing color.
I have medium skin, brown eyes, dark hair. Love this under Nars Turkish Delight, or on its own, or under any Juicy Tubes Gloss.
The blue/purple undertones are so flattering, teeth look white, blush and eyes pop.
Only thing i can pick on is packaging, mine squished a little in the tube, maybe the heat? I used to have Lancome lispticks with magnets in the tops, this made use a breeze, anyway color and formula is fantastic and I will reorder this one when I run out.

I was lucky enough to receive this in a swap. Immediately fell in love with this color & am seriously considering putting all my other glosses, lipsticks, up for trade as this is the perfect color for me. Well for everyone really. It is sheer, moist, creamy, a rose/pink/mauve/berry all combined into one color - if that's even possible. I really have no use for any other lipstick after this one, seriously.

Got this in a Lancome GWP at Sears a couple of weeks ago. At first, I thought that the colour was too dark and red for me. I usually opt for a natural pink lipped look. My lips are already super pigmented so I thought the lippy would look weird on me. Little did I know, I put this on my lips and it looked amazing!~ like my lips but better :) It's also really hydrating and matches really well with light pink blush and blue eyeshadow.
this is usually something I'd never pick up, but I'm glad it was in my GWP. I would definitely buy this even at full price when I'm done with this lipstick (but only when they have a GWP promo :P haha, I am a poor student afterall! Have to get the best value for my money)

Who's Your Granddaddy? Becks has impactful debut, even in cameo
A 'Classique' in name only, Paris Saint-Germain edged bitter rival Marseille 2-0 Sunday to once again take a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 -- and yes, David Beckham did make his debut at the Parc des Princes. Carlo Ancelotti's men were flattered by their two-goal scoreline as a second choice centre-back pairing kept a clean sheet thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu (seven saves).
However, it will be impossible to ignore Beckham's 15-minute cameo in the win after he played a part in the capital club's crucial second strike in stoppage time.
-- PSG retain three-point lead
Starting with Beckham -- he was good. With so much hype resting on his shoulders pre-match and as the game stretched on after Lucas Moura's heavily deflected opener, he entered the field at a pivotal moment. With 16 minutes left, PSG were holding a slender 1-0 lead and looked vulnerable as OM poured forward but continued to waste their domination of possession.
What followed in the next 14 minutes was not extraordinary, nor was it embarrassing for Beckham. Simply put, a good football player made his debut and proved that he still has the legs, the hunger and most importantly the ability, to cut it in top-flight European football. He was not out of his depth, and there were glimpses of vintage Goldenballs as he pinged a few passes around and got stuck into the midfield battle.
Then, in the first minute of injury time, he produced an impudent dink into the path of substitute Jeremy Menez, who laid on goal no. 22 of the season for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Job done. A good performance from a good player who looked assured in taking his first steps for the club despite compatriot Joey Barton winning the midfield battle for OM on the night.
Moura was once again the key though, and underlined his importance to the side. It was his early goal that was vital for PSG in getting the victory. Early goals have been the hallmark of the best showings from Ancelotti's side this season, but the performance that followed was deeply Italian and barely succeeded in stifling the game. Had the Brazilian not scored, les Parisiens would arguably have lost.
Make no mistake; while Beckham grabs the headlines on and off the pitch, this is now Moura's side. Not Beckham's, not Ibrahimovic's and certainly not Javier Pastore's. The 20-year old was PSG's best player bar Sirigu, and although fading after his lack of full fitness became evident, his enthusiasm and commitment put him head and shoulders above his teammates. It was a deserved first PSG goal for Lucas, even if it was in dubious circumstances.
Whilst Moura got the crucial goal, Sirigu was Ancelotti's undoubted match winner. It was arguably the Italian's best performance since arriving at the club and a goalkeeping clinic. A string of superb, acrobatic blocks were all that stood between the portly Andre-Pierre Gignac, the smallish Mathieu Valbuena and OM sharing the spoils if not taking more from the match. A superb reflex save from Gignac's goal-bound second half effort was the highlight, but every block was vital.
Sylvain Armand also deserves special mention. Although a relative pensioner in this PSG side along with Beckham at 32, he helped preserve an unlikely clean sheet for the hosts. There was no sign of his Zimmer frame as he put in a determined performance, making few errors and looking calm and composed in Mamadou Sakho's absence. Brazilian centre-back partner Alex was also solid alongside, but Armand's dogged display personified some of the determination older members of this PSG side possess to win the club's first title in 19 years.
Menez was also vital, albeit in a more compact role. The solidarity from fans over his recent situation with the club was telling and something for management to consider. Thankfully, he didn't reserve all of his talking for off the pitch, and underlined his first-team credentials with a superb six-minute cameo worthy of David Beckham fanfare. He made his point by serving up a timely reminder of his extravagant and mercurial talent by linking up with the Englishman to provide a brilliant assist for Ibra's goal.
That brings me to the Swede. Ibrahimovic lately has been a Jekyll-and-Hyde character in the side, and Sunday night that was truer than ever. Little else of note followed a sublime pass for Ezequiel Lavezzi's glorious chance in second minute. He looked off-colour for the best part of 87 minutes, but then scored the vital second goal in an enigmatic performance that drew criticism from fans and media. People are quick to forget his other 21 goals and where they have put PSG . Ibra had an off day, bit it is not like he has had too many this season. Even if it has followed two other disappointing showings, he now has three goals in two games against les Phoceens.
Finally, the continued selection of Marco Verratti is beginning to appear unjustified. The 20-year-old looked like a headless chicken at times against OM, devoid of the same confidence and swagger that saw him prosper at the start of the season. While he is an undoubted potential star, the diminutive Italian's progress needs to be given time. A loan move next season does not seem such a bad idea. Beckham's early form shows that he at least can equal Verratti's presence on the pitch for now -- if not outweigh it -- and in this case experience should win out over youth for now.
OM enjoyed a lot of success down the flanks too, begging the question of whether the fullback positions remain a weakness for Ancelotti. Reinstated captain Christophe Jallet was disappointing and only some fantastic defensive blocks and interceptions just saved an at-times sloppy display from Maxwell from being exposed. Barton was unlucky for Elie Baup's side; he did well and looked disciplined and totally dominated the midfield battle despite an all-action performance from PSG counterpart Blaise Matuidi. Tragically miscast as a pantomime villain, the Englishman was a candidate for man-of-the-match over the 90 minutes.
But the headlines will focus on Beckham. Whatever you think of the move and its motives, separate the man from the hype for one moment and take his debut for what it was. A good player was making his debut and proving that despite his age, he still has it in him to play at the top level. The desire is still there and crucially, so is the ability.
Now he and PSG need to do it all again on Wednesday night in the Coupe de France in a rematch.

The Islamic militant group Hamas that rules Gaza said in a text message to reporters that one of the men was a member of its military wing. Another Palestinian group, the Popular Resistance Committees, said in an email that the second man was from its ranks. Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said a third man later died of wounds sustained in the airstrike. He did not know if he was a militant or not.
The Israeli military said aircraft attacked rocket squads following mortar fire on military patrols. Also, several rockets were fired at communities in southern Israel, causing no casualties, the army said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with military protocol.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the rocket fire from Gaza would not go unpunished.
"We're not going to let anyone arm themselves and fire rockets on us and think that they can do this with impunity," Netanyahu said following a meeting with international Mideast envoy Tony Blair. "We attacked them before, we attacked them after and we're going to prevent them from arming themselves. "
Hamas' military wing vowed that "the enemy will not be able to twist our arm" and promised retribution.

I've read about ray tracing a few times in the past, but this assignment gave me a dramatically new perspective on the topic. Two things really struck me about ray tracing. First, what I understood to be ray tracing was actually just ray casting. I didn't know this while I was implementing the diffuse shaders (pure Lambertian, Blinn-Phong, and Blinn-Phong with Ambience), and so I was rather impressed with the results. However, as soon as I implemented specular reflection via recursion, I started to realize that ray tracing is indeed a much more significant step over ray casting in terms of realism.
My second dramatic realization was just how expensive ray tracing is. Every feature that I added would drive my render times up. And this was compounded by framebuffer resolution, sampling grid size, number of lights, and number of scene primitives. I found myself switching between implementing new features and then going back and implementing various optimizations just to make the render times tolerable.
For part one of this ray tracer program, I used the COMP 575 assignment as a guideline on features to add beyond the minimum in the COMP 770 assignment. I kept going, adding feature after feature, unaware of whether or not these "extra features" would actually be required for the second part of the assignment or not.

- Multiple, Colored Light Support
- Configurable Background Color
- Output to PNG
- Supports both Ray Casting and Ray Tracing
- Specular Reflection
- Dielectric Reflection and Transmission w/ Refraction
- Lambertian
- Blinn-Phong
- Blinn-Phong with Ambient
Super Sampling
- Configurable Sample Count for Regular, Jittered, and Adaptive
- Basic
- Regular

- Multi-Processing Support with OpenMP
- Simplified Scene Intersection Calculations with Normalized Direction Vectors
- Tracks recursive contribution of color calculations for early recursion termination
- Adaptive [Jittered] Sampling
- Timing Instrumentation
- Can build without OpenGL, OpenMP, and libpng for benchmarking on embedded systems
Building and Usage
I've provided a Makefile with the following targets. It has been tested on Mac OSX, Linux (Ubuntu) and Android for ARM.
NOTICE: By default, I build on a system with OpenGL, OpenMP (libgomp), and libpng. If you don't have those on your system, then use the
NO_OMP=1, and
NO_PNG=1 settings when running make.
Build Targets/Options
make– Builds release.
make debug– Builds debug.
make clean– Cleans src directory and removes objdir directories.
make NO_OMP=1– Won't attempt to compile using OpenMP. Handy if the system doesn't have support. Can be used with other NO_*.
make NO_PNG=1– Won't attempt to compile using libpng. Handy if the system doesn't have support. Can be used with other NO_*.
make NO_GL=1– Won't attempt to compile using OpenGL. Handy if the system doesn't have support. Can be used with other NO_*.
Usage: raytracer [-shader
] [-sampling ] [-samples ] [-background <0xRRGGBBAA>] [-window ] [-timing] [-noparallel] [-norecursion] [-nodisplay] [-output ] -shader Sets the shader used. Each one builds upon the previous shader. Default = reflective -sampling Chooses which sampling method to use. Default = adaptive -samples Specifies n x n grid of samples to collect. Ignored for basic sampling. Default = 5 -background <0xRRGGBBAA> Sets the background color. Default = 0x000000ff -window Sets the window size to the specified width and height. Default = 500 x 500 -timing This switch turns on timing output on the console. Default = off -noparallel This switch turns off multiprocessing. Default = on -norecursion This switch turns off recursive ray tracing resulting in simple ray casting. Default = on -nodisplay This switch turns the output to the display. Default = on -output This switch causes the ray tracer to output a png image of the renderer scene.
Image Results
Once I started working on support for dielectrics, I wanted to create a reasonably familiar scene so that I could interpret the results better. I placed a large, mostly transparent, smoke-gray sphere in front of the camera. The ground sphere is still somewhat reflective, but the two colored spheres in the background are non-reflective. When viewing this scene, it's best to use a white background (
-background 0xffffffff) in order to see the distortion at the perimeter of the sphere.
<scene> <!-- camera at (0,2,-12) pointed towards the origin --> <camera x="0.0" y="2.0" z="-8.0" fov="90.0" lookAtX="0.0" lookAtY="2.0" lookAtZ="0.0" upX="0.0" upY="1.0" upZ="0.0"/> <!-- smoked sphere --> <sphere radius="2.0" x="0.0" y="1.75" z="-3.0"> <color r="0.3" g="0.3" b="0.3" a="0.3"/> <material reflectance="0.0" refraction="1.5" phongExponent="0.0"/> </sphere> <!-- blue sphere --> <sphere radius="1.25" x="-4.0" y="2.0" z="2.0"> <color r="0.0" g="0.0" b="1.0" a="1.0"/> <material reflectance="0.0" refraction="1.0" phongExponent="16.0"/> </sphere> <!-- green sphere --> <sphere radius="1.25" x="4.0" y="2.0" z="2.0"> <color r="0.0" g="1.0" b="0.0" a="1.0"/> <material reflectance="0.0" refraction="1.0" phongExponent="16.0"/> </sphere> <!-- white overhead light --> <light x="0.0" y="5.0" z="0.0" ambient="0.25"> <color r="1.0" g="1.0" b="1.0" a="1.0"/> </light> <!-- "ground" sphere --> <sphere radius="50.0" x="0.0" y="-50.0" z="0.0"> <color r="0.75" g="0.75" b="0.75" a="1.0"/> <material reflectance="0.3" refraction="1.5" phongExponent="32.0"/> </sphere> </scene>
Of the various optimizations that I implemented, none provided the immediate results that the parallelism through OpenMP. I was definitely embarrassed that I didn't think of it before the COMP 575 professor mentioned it. I fully anticipated that I would have to refactor my code to be multi-threaded. I was pleasantly surprised to find OpenMP. I had used a similar compiler extension on some Cell Processor development years ago, but OpenMP is much further along in terms of ease-of-use and compiler support. I was so thrilled when I discovered it, that I blogged about it here. With one line in my Makefile and two lines of code, I gained a nearly 75% increase.
Development Challenges
- Viewing Rect
- Floating Point Error When Intersecting Light Ray
- Transparency + Ray Casting = Does Not Compute
- Floating Point Error Part Deux
Overall, development went really smooth on this project. I was definitely making a lot of hand-gestures while trying to visualize where my cross products would be aiming as I was trying to generate the viewing rect. I didn't know how to correlate the
up vector of the camera with the vector from the camera position to the
lookAt point, especially when they weren't perpendicular. Finally I decided to use the up vector and assume that the camera was looking straight forward, along it's z axis. Without this assumption, I felt like I would have to be dealing with an oblique projection, which I wasn't ready for.
I struggled a little when I was trying to calculate intersections with the scene for the light vector from the visible point back to the light source. Initially I tried to throw out intersections with the primitive that the visible point was on. Of course, that didn't yield results, so I finally settled on throwing out all intersections that were closer to the visible point than a particular threshold, lambda. The next lecture, the same strategy was mentioned as a solution to that problem.
The next significant problem that I phased was how to deal with transparency. Again, I was unlucky enough to be a little early to implement this feature. Two lectures later, we discussed ray tracing vs. ray casting. Recursive ray tracing, makes reflection and transmission with refraction nearly trivial. For a while, I was a little confused between specular reflection and dielectric reflection, but I finally differentiated the two and accepted the fact that an object can be a dielectric and also have specular reflective material properties. The last part of ray tracing that was really challenging, was the calculation of the "a" constant when determining the filtering of light when it is transmitted through a dielectric. The textbook described how the Beer-Lambert Law determined how much light is transmitted, but they said that a constant for each color channel is chosen and that the natural logs from the formula are rolled into that. Furthermore, they mentioned that developer's often tune this parameter by eye. I settled on a calculation for "a" that took each color channel of the intersected primitive and multiplied it with (1 – alpha) for that color. Visually, I found the results to be satisfactory.
The last hurdle that I faced was again related to detecting intersections that are too close to the visible point. This time, the rays in question were the transmitted/refracted rays. I was still using the threshold from before to eliminate intersections that were too close to the ray origin. However, the threshold value that I was using was very small. I found that several of the refraction calculations involved a lot of floating point math errors that had built up through the multiple calculations and amplified by the recursion. I just relaxed the threshold and the noise was eliminated.

This past Saturday, Lawrenceville was referenced on NBC's Saturday Night Live.
In the last story "Weekend Update--" the show's fake newscast featuring funny spins on the latest headlines-- cast member Seth Meyers read a story about the mother who found a nose ring in food she bought at the Clayton Street McDonald's last month.
"A woman in Georgia is claiming that she found a nose ring in her four-year-old daughter's breakfast burrito," read Meyers before delivering the punchline. "Which I believe means she won a visit with white trash Willy Wonka."
Next to Meyers the graphic changed from the McDonald's logo, a nose ring and a map of the state of Georgia to one of Willy Wonka with a protruding belly with a white tank top and a confederate flag on it, holding a beer.

RiftSaw SVN Reorg/CleanupGary Brown Jun 7, 2010 4:30 AM
Now that 2.1.0.CR1 has been released, Jeff and I have been discussing the 'branches' folder in svn and think that it is looking a bit overloaded.
At the moment it contains temporary work streams, either related to individuals (bbrodt,gbrown,hbraun) or specific features (DBIssue, IntegrationTests, riftsaw-jpa). The problem is that these work areas don't tend to be cleaned up after they are no longer required, and therefore could become cluttered and unmanageable in the future.
Therefore we would like to propose that 'branches' is just used for actual release branches.
The one exception to this is the ODE specific branches, including the 'ODE-1.x-fixes' (which is essentially the trunk for our ODE code + fixes), will be under the 'branches/ODE' folder. However the stable releases of this ODE code +fixes, will equally appear in the 'branches' folder.
So as the result of the recent release, we now have RiftSaw-2.1.x and RiftSaw-ODE-2.1.x in the branches folder.
The other folders currently in branches should be moved to a new top level folder called 'workspace'. In general, unless the workspace branch is to be shared amongst a number of developers, it is probably better to place it under another folder associated with the developer. That way, the workspace area should also remain relatively tidy
We will probably make this change in a week or two, so if there are any comments or objections, then please let us know.
1. Re: RiftSaw SVN Reorg/CleanupJeff Yu Jun 7, 2010 9:36 AM (in response to Gary Brown)
+1 for this move, we now have too many top-level branches, need to clean them up.
2. Re: RiftSaw SVN Reorg/CleanupJeff Yu Jun 16, 2010 2:44 AM (in response to Jeff Yu)
This changes has been made on the subversion.
3. Re: RiftSaw SVN Reorg/CleanupGary Brown Jun 16, 2010 9:48 AM (in response to Jeff Yu)
Thanks for doing the change Jeff.
I would also like to propose changing branches/ODE/ODE-1.x-fixes to branches/ODE/RiftSaw-ODE-trunk?
4. Re: RiftSaw SVN Reorg/CleanupJeff Yu Jun 17, 2010 7:38 AM (in response to Gary Brown)
renaming Done.

Approximately 2.3 million units of children's Triaminic cough syrups and Theraflu Warming Relief Syrups are being recalled because the child-resistance caps can "fail to function properly and enable the cap to be removed by a child with the tamper-evident seal in place, posing a risk of unintentional ingestion and poisoning," according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall.
There are 24 types of the two products included in the recall. A complete list can be found here: www.novartisOTC.com.
There have been 12 reports of children unscrewing the caps and four reports of children ingesting the product. According to the CPSC, one child required medical attention.
The cough medications were sold at food, drug, mass merchandise and club stores nationwide between May 2010 and December 2011.
Consumers with these products should stop using the products immediately and contact Novartis for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.

hi there
congrats on your last posts
i remember that last eye you did (forgot where) it's good anyway
for the background, i definitly prefer non-white (even a bit of gray)
i always laydown some paper texture now.
i watched promotheus recently , it was quite good ( i like sci fi)

Hey! Just wanna say your form has been improving a lot and the last few faces are looking pretty damn good.
Be sure to keep in mind anatomy and proportion a bit more even when you're sketching for shits and giggles. You've come a long way!
My observational skills may be great but i said nothing about my drawing skills
My Blog/Tumblr

My Sketchbook - High School
Please comment on my deviant art I need friends T-T
BUY MY SHIRTS PLEASE - They're awesome.
Yo Edward , great man, you keep up, you becoming better everytime.
Now on your question here [+the one in my sb].
Drawing or maybe toning, on grey background will give you the ability to use white for highlihts etc. Lately i use a lot of "colored or B&W" background because it will unite the values better with a background, it will not trick the eye with extra contrast (that you get from having a blank canvas)
Sometimes then i pick a supadupa hard black brush and i draw sillouete and shadows quick and rough. In that case blank canvas gives me the fast highlight i need[that is created simply by the spaces i leave unpainted].
In the end you should always be concerned about the fundamentals, so for example, you have to keep the values under the same range. I mean, dont use white for light areas[ i am saying light areas, not highlight] and then go to and place a grey shadow[unless there is a strong reason like strong reflected light] Everything should be unified, seen as a whole.
This changes according to the needs of what you have to create. How you love to make your thumbs [ you may want to have white as a dominant so it will be back there ready ]
In general i think for illustration works its good to have the canvas filled with some grey or color.
Actually, experiment with it and start questioning yourself what you find better for you.
To stop the long tiring text, for me personally, it depends, and i use both approaches.
lets keep up
You improved a lot since i last stopped by. nice eyes btw!
as for your question, i work mainly in photoshop with a few extra touches in artrage. haven't tried painter yet.
Hey! =) Im supposed to be writing stuff for university atm, some stupid synopsis shit they want, but Id rather be drawing =) Here is some shitty photostudy and even shittier imagination stuff =( Need to improve on drawing, and value, also Im noticing that Im not sure where to place the colour on faces sometimes. Kinda sucks but Im gonna make a better effort once I finish my synopsis stuff for handin.
Also damaged my arm (not just the hand now) but my whole shoulder is strained, specifically its the levator scapula muscle =( It's damn painful every time I move my head =(
Anyway, see you guys soon =)
zou - Yip was thinking the same thing, I prefer a toned background myself as well. Thx's for the compliment man =) Tbh I wasn't that keen on Prometheus, the story was kinda bit wishy washy imho, Michael Fassbender was awesome though, that was the best part for me =)
Myst - Thx's man, will work more carefully in my imagi stuff, it needs loads of work for sure, cheers man =)
Kingkostas - Thx's man, I will try your suggestions =) Atm I mostly start from a light or a dark grey value but think I need to just mix it up as you suggested and experiment more with the start. Thx's a lot for your advice, I will get practicing!
Lumens - Ah cool, I wondered how you got those interesting marks in, thx's for the tip man =) I tried Painter today but for some reason it lags quite a bit on just simple Oil bristle brushes. I'll play around with Artrage tomoz, Cheers man =)
Thx's guys, cover your eyes! =(
the eye in #1551 looks really great, maybe it could be more sharpened... (just a bit)
those last 3 works looks like you were quite distracted ... ? why is the first one so cut ?

Hey =) Okay my neck/shoulder pain is getting worse, starting to think something is seriously wrong atm.. =( Handed in synopsis stuff, so thoroughly boring =) Volunteering at a museum tomorrow, so got to get to bed already! Studies + bad imagination
jablar - Cool man =) Didn't soften the edges on it, and then ran out of time on the study.
Nights =)
Nice updates, you have a unique way of handling skin which I enjoy, very soft and natural looking. With that said, I think you can benefit more from studying the planes of the face for an even more believable look. Keep practicing, very inspiring work all around.

Okay hey! =) Neck/arm pain pretty bad, have to take regular breaks now otherwise my neck freezes up! =(
Halloween shit, got bored of rendering, didn't finish
studies, managed to make Noomi Rapace look like Charlize Theron wtf =)
Life drawing, the theme was Candlelight, it was hard to see the paper at times but cool =) Cheers =)
nice updates! still really digging your sketches! colors are coming along too!
Update, did more work on portrait. imagi, study, life. Watched the new Total Recall, really enjoyed it
Cheers =)
Haven't been here for a while. You've improved your sense of color, but anatomy still lacks solid base. It seems that you rush into details, shades and lights too soon. I suggest Gnomon Dynamic Figure drawing with Dave Finch. Stuff helped me some to improve my proportions, and from time to time I still go back to the videos.
This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

hey mate !
i see you're posting much these days, sorry for being absent
the last two head are very nice very delicate rendering, sometimes the end of your strokes are crisp, you should make their beginning and end soft and fading to make them blend (unless you wanted them like that)
there is an interesting deformation and proportion play with those ones, keep up

Yo edward!!! Lovely experiments with the shapes up there. the edges are doing their work. Keep up improving your drawing, actually i also have to do that, so lets keep up !!!
Hey man! I see some nice evolution! Keep up study from photo, im sure its going to help you!
Heey =) Feeling very tired atm, not sleeping much, I dont really care, tho I find it hard to stay awake in lectures.. =) Coffee coffee coffee! =)
Life drawing (5 min poses) + imagi/studies (Sargent)
Working on a painting atm, in the interim I been playing around with this comp of sketches =)
Hi matey
Just swung by to see what you have been up to and I realised that its been longer than I thought since I was here last sorry about that mate!
Whilst looking at the last lot of images I have to say the planes of the face are going adrift again as you render them up you need to go back to the loomis and bridgeman and comper them to what you have. The only reason I noticed is that I have the same problem and its burning me up something awful.
all the best mate.

There are some nice improvements in your sketchbook. I do agree that anatomy is still lacking a bit at times and sometimes your proportions are really off. I'm liking how the image in #1573 is coming out. I'm curious to see where you go with it.
Experimenting yeah!!!! great spirit!!! keep it up edward

The only positive about Hunter going down is that James actually has a chance. May not be a lot, but I want to see what he can do. If Hunter stays healthy throughout the year, we most likely never see James at all. At least, what I was thinking. Somewhat interesting.

So WhiteSox dbag...lets say you start berating one of Tim Tebow's teammates, and then ask him for an autograph....what do you think he would do? Better yet...why in the **** are you hounding people for autographs? And if you think Dixon sucks so much, why in the **** are you so ****ing butt hurt he didn't give you one? You're such a ****ing fool
