Collaboration plays an increasingly important role in promoting research productivity and impact. What remains unclear is whether female and male researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) disciplines differ in their collaboration propensity. Here, we report on an empirical analysis of the complete publication records of 3,980 faculty members in six STEM disciplines at select U.S. research universities. We find that female faculty have significantly fewer distinct co-authors over their careers than males, but that this difference can be fully accounted for by females' lower publication rate and shorter career lengths. Next, we find that female scientists have a lower probability of repeating previous co-authors than males, an intriguing result because prior research shows that teams involving new collaborations produce work with higher impact. Finally, we find evidence for gender segregation in some sub-disciplines in molecular biology, in particular in genomics where we find female faculty to be clearly under-represented.

Gunnar Karenius Utsond (født 31. august 1864 i Kviteseid, Telemark, død 27. januar 1950 sammesteds) var en norsk billedhugger.

Utsond tog 1887 tandlægeeksamen og har praktiseret forskellige steder i Norge. Samtidig søgte han at uddanne sine anlæg for billedhuggerkunsten ved rejser i udlandet.

I 1894 udstillede han i Kristiania et skulpturarbejde: "Gut, som spikker", der vakte opmærksomhed og blev ivrigt diskuteret, da det viste sig, at kunstneren havde støbt sin figur over en levende model.

I 1897 rejste der sig ligeledes en livlig diskussion om hans kolossalgruppe: "Og Havet gav sine døde tilbage", hvorunder han — med urette — beskyldtes for plagiat efter Leightons maleri med samme emne.

Efter at have udstillet flere mindre arbejder, blandt andet en buste af Jonas Lie og en statue: "På vejen", gav han sig atter i kast med en vældig gruppe: "Helridt" (almindelig kaldet "Helhesten"), som vakte berettiget opsigt på Paris-udstillingen 1900 ved den vellykkede løsning af den svære opgave.

Blandt hans øvrige arbejder kan nævnes Welhavenmonumentet i Oslo, hvis udførelse blev ham overdraget efter en i 1903 afholdt konkurrence. Utsond var 1909—21 professor i billedhuggerkunst ved Kunstakademiet i Oslo.

An experimental study investigated self- and other-esteem responses to either fully supportive or less supportive interpersonal feedback in college students with avoidant and borderline personality disorder features (APD and BPD, respectively). Disturbances in self-esteem and in evaluations of others are central to definitions of both APD and BPD, but the extent to which such interpersonal appraisals are responsive to contextual features, such as evaluative feedback from others, is not yet clear. In theory, we would expect that individuals with pronounced PD features would show more inflexible and more negative self- and other-evaluations than those without PD features. In this study with 169 undergraduates, APD but not BPD features were associated with other-contingent state self-esteem and other-esteem. A significant interaction indicated that highly avoidant respondents felt particularly negatively about themselves and their close others in situations that conveyed subtle criticism but not in situations signaling unequivocal support. This suggests that their self- and other-esteem, rather than being rigidly negative, is instead highly contingent upon interpersonal feedback. Such context-contingency has implications for the trait-like description of diagnostic characteristics within current taxonomies and is in line with contemporary dynamic models of personality structure and process.

Sarbanes Co-Sponsors Juneteenth Resolution, Calls for Action to Protect and Expand Voting Rights
Democracy Reform Task Force Chair Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) today joined Congressional Voting Rights Caucus Co-Chairs Reps. Mark Veasey (D-Tex.), Terri Sewell (D-Ala.) and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) to introduce a resolution calling for reforms to protect access to the ballot box, curb voter suppression and ensure that every American can vote.
The resolution was introduced to coincide with the 155th Anniversary of Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery.
"Insidious voter suppression tactics continue to disenfranchise communities of color and deny Americans the right to vote," said Congressman Sarbanes. "As our nation comes together with renewed energy and focus to address the institutionalized racism the plagues every facet of our society, we must ensure that people of color are heard – especially at the ballot box."
Key provisions of the resolution include:
Commemorating Juneteenth;
Condemning voter suppression and attacks on voting rights;
Demanding the expansion of vote-by-mail programs across the country;
Urging election officials to increase the number of safe and accessible polling places to help shorten lines on Election Day;
Calling for dedicated federal funding to states are severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; and
Recommending that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission create a bipartisan "National Election Task Force" to help states ensure free, fair and safe elections.

Jonah Hill draws Jimmy Fallon naked!
August 3rd, 2016 under Jimmy Fallon, Jonah Hill. [ Comments: none ]
Jonah Hill and Jimmy Fallon decided to try something new and that new thing is to learn how to draw. Therefore, they went to Arts Students League in Midtown Manhattan to accomplish that goal.
First the drew a still life of a bowl fruit, then a naked man in several different poses and finally they sketched each other.
While The Tonight Show host focused on his friend's face, his buddy focused on everything else including the bananas and the apples. Two fruit I won't be eating again anytime soon.
Jonah Hill twisted J.J. Abrams nipples when they met
February 5th, 2016 under Jimmy Fallon, Jonah Hill. [ Comments: 1 ]
Adele was recently on Saturday Night Live and a lot of big named celebrities came out see her perform. Jonah Hill brought his younger sister with him because she is a big fan. When they went out to see her sing Hello, he stood next to Bradley Cooper. Then he saw that J.J. Abrams was there too. Since Cooper worked on Alias with the director, the Elephant Man introduced the two men. Instead of Hill shaking his hand, the 21 Jump Street actor told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, "I don't know what the hell I was thinking, and I just give J.J. Abrams a giant t!tty Twister."
When the NBC late host asked him why, he said, "Cause I am stupid person, I don't know how else to say it." But Hill did try to explain that he was so moved by Adele's performance and was in awe of Abrams work, so he felt like he knew him. Obviously, he felt like he knew him really well to twist his nipple in front of the Star Wars' leader's kids. To make it even worse for Hill.
Anyways the actor spent the night beating himself up and his friends said you send him an apology note. After several rewrites he did, and Abrams emailed him back. The Felicity creator wrote, "This is funny. Don't even sweat it. Don't beat yourself up." How sweet!
But if I were Hill, I would never expect to be anything that Abrams does.
Channing Tatum loves to torture Jonah Hill!
June 10th, 2014 under Channing Tatum, Conan O'Brien, Jonah Hill. [ Comments: none ]
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill were on Conan yesterday and it was revealed that Magic Mike likes to torture his 22 Jump Street co-star. How? By squeezing the area just above your knee. Hill has begged him to stop, he has cried and yet none of that works. What's even worse for him, if you do the same to Tatum nothing happens.
Seeing the two of then interact on the TBS late night show like that, shows why their movies do so well. It's all about the chemistry!
Why Jonah Hill said he'd kiss the tip of Channing Tatum's tatum!
June 9th, 2014 under Channing Tatum, Conan O'Brien, Jonah Hill. [ Comments: none ]
Tonight on Conan O'Brien's TBS late night show, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill revealed a bet they had over the total box office numbers for the opening weekend of their movie 21 Jump Street. Hill thought the movie was going to make $30 million, while Magic Mike thought it would bring in $35 million. So if the film made the higher amount, then Jonah said he would kiss the tip of Channing's Tatum…over the boxers.
Well the film made exactly $35 million, and Hill has yet to pay off his bet. Something Tatum said he was willing to go double down on with the release of the 2nd movie in the franchise that comes out this Friday. So make sure to go see 22 Jump Street this weekend so that we can give the flick bigger numbers than the original. Maybe if we do, Jonah will make the father of one a very happy man with two kisses over the boxers! Or maybe just one kiss with no boxers. A girl can dream.
Channing Tatum gives Jonah Hill a hand job in 22 Jump Street
April 10th, 2014 under Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill. [ Comments: none ]
The second red band trailer is out for 22 Jump Street and Channing Tatum was caught red handed grabbing Jonah Hill's grenade aka his penis! If that isn't enough to get you to see the sequel on June 13th, then I don't know what will. Well besides the fact that the first one was better than anyone thought it would be, so the second one should be just as good.

One of my New Years Resolutions was to digital detox which I was hoping would lead to reading more. Well, April is almost over and I haven't even read a single book. I started about 3 but as usual, I get distracted and the book starts collecting dust bunnies.
So, in an attempt to hold myself accountable and also in hopes that you'll join in, I decided to start a book club! While I would like for it to be related to travel and creativity, I'm open to suggestions and to a variety of genres.
For the very first book club selection, I thought I would introduce the actual book that gave me the final push to quit my corporate job and pursue 'happiness', if you will. The book is called The Crossroads of Should and Must: Find and Follow Your Passion by Elle Luna. Big thanks goes to my friend Justine for suggesting this read almost a year ago! Coincidentally she's doing the author of this book, Elle Luna's 100 Days of Happiness challenge on her Instagram so make sure you're check it out!
For those of you that have read this book, you already know how artistic and whimsical this book is. The pages are organized yet unexpected; colors, doodles and inspirational quotes. It's thought-provoking, at times hard-hitting, confronting things that you generally try to avoid - like, "what do you have, a job, career or a calling?".
When I read that, I had a career. I was entering year 6 of the hospitality industry, a career I had built for myself. I think this is the first time I share this but I started as a Reservations Agent and climbed my way up to Director of Sales & Marketing (on my way having positions like, Sales Coordinator, Front Office Manager, etc). I was proud of that accomplishment as before hospitality, I was known to not stay in one industry for long. But when I read this, I knew a 'career' just wasn't enough to keep me happy. I was in a toxic work environment at that time, commuting 3-5 hours a day, just miserable.
Another hard-hitting point was about 'how much money is enough money?'. I was very blessed with hard-working parents so my spending is...a far cry from being frugal. Elle draws a circle for "Must-Have Money" and then a circle for "Nice-To-Have Money". Wow, so true. If I focused on the Must-Have Money, not only could I save more but I can focus on what's truly important.
Have you read this book? Have you even heard of it? Will you add it to your list? Let me know your thoughts! For me, The Crossroads of Should and Must changed my life drastically, to the point of quitting my job and pursuing my passion - travel, photography and writing. So naturally, I give it a 10/10 and recommend a read!
OMG YESSS! I recently started reading again. I am almost done with my book but will need something new to read so this is the perfect choice!
I need to read more too!! I've devoured a few books and continue to move slowly through a few others.


We all want to do our bit for the environment, but where to put our compostable waste is a perennial question we're asked.
Our design team has come up with the perfect solution – our Touch Bin New Recycle. From the outside, it oozes kitchen style, but lift the lid and its eco-friendly credentials jump out at you. What's not to love!
With two inner plastic buckets, the 23-litre side has been designed for general household waste, whilst the separate 10-litre bucket is specifically for compostable waste. Special ventilation holes have also been inserted in the 23-litre bin to ensure that any excess air that has built up when the liner is inserted can escape preventing a vacuum from forming when removing the filled bin liner. Perfect.
With our 'soft touch' opening, this bin is easy to clean and has a sturdy grip, making it easy to move, even when full!
Available in Brilliant Steel, Matt Steel, and Matt Steel Fingerprint Proof, both sizes of plastic buckets are also available for purchase individually.
If you're passionate about composting and recycling, this is the bin for you!
There are times in life when size does matter – and this is definitely the case for larger and busy families who whose bins fill up almost daily.
To address this, we've created our sophisticated 40-litre touch bin – a classy solution that delivers on capacity and is space saving too.
Its ergonomic, flat rear shape enables it to fit snugly against any wall and because of its size, special ventilation holes in the inner bucket prevent any vacuum forming when removing the filled bin liner. Made from durable corrosion-resistant materials, the 40-litre Touch Bin is available in 11 colourways, including our vibrant Passion Red, and is guaranteed to become a firm favourite in every busy household.
Full details of our Touch Bin New Recycle and spacing saving 40-litre Touch Bin can be found here.

"Additive manufacturing's promise to revolutionize industry is constrained by a widespread problem: tiny gas pockets in the final product, which can lead to cracks and other failures.
New research published in Science, led by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Argonne National Laboratory, has identified how and when these gas pockets form, as well as a methodology to predict their formation — a pivotal discovery that could dramatically improve the 3D printing process.
The scientists used the extremely bright high-energy X-rays at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source, a Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility, to take super-fast video and images of a process called Laser Power Bed Fusion, in which lasers are used to melt and fuse material powder together.
Until now, manufacturers and researchers did not know much about how the laser drills into the metal, producing cavities called "vapor depressions," but they assumed that the type of metal powder or strength of laser were to blame. As a result, manufacturers have been using a trial-and-error approach with different types of metals and lasers to seek to reduce the defects.
The research shows that these vapor depressions exist under nearly all conditions in the process, no matter the laser or metal. Even more important, the research shows how to predict when a small depression will grow into a big and unstable one that can potentially create a defect.
Carnegie Mellon University researchers in the Argonne National Labs Advanced Photon Source facility.
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Tony Rollett discusses additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, with metals, as well as using advanced characterization techniques to solve industry challenges in the field.
By using highly specialized equipment at Argonne's APS, one of the most powerful synchrotron facilities in the world, researchers watched what happens as the laser moves across the metal powder bed to create each layer of the product.
Under perfect conditions, the melt pool shape is shallow and semicircular, called the "conduction mode." But during the actual printing process, the high-power laser, often moving at a low speed, can change the melt pool shape to something like a keyhole in a warded lock: round and large on top, with a narrow spike at bottom. Such "keyhole mode" melting can potentially lead to defects in the final product.
The research shows that keyholes form when a certain laser power density is reached that is sufficient to boil the metal. This, in turn, reveals the critical importance of the laser focus in the additive manufacturing process, an element that has received scant attention so far, according to the research team.
This image, taken under the synchrotron at Argonne National Laboratory, shows a keyhole void about to be formed during the metal 3D printing process.
The experiment platform that supports study of additive manufacturing includes a laser apparatus, specialized detectors and dedicated beamline instruments.
In 2016, the Argonne team, together with their research partners, captured the first-ever X-ray video of laser additive manufacturing at micrometer and microsecond scales. That study increased interest in the impact Argonne's Advanced Photon Source could have on manufacturing techniques and challenges.
The research team said this research could motivate makers of additive manufacturing machines to offer more flexibility when controlling the machines and that the improved use of the machines could lead to a significant improvement in the final product. In addition, if these insights are acted upon, the process for 3D printing could get faster.

This article documents several useful tools that can save you a lot of time when working with Git on the Zulip project.
Extremely useful. In the tools directory of zulip/zulip you'll find a bash script setup-git-repo. This script installs a pre-commit hook, which will run each time you git commit to automatically run Zulip's linter suite on just the files that the commit modifies (which is really fast!). The hook passes no matter the result of the linter, but you should still pay attention to any notices or warnings it displays.
You might also wish to configure continuous integration for your fork.
tools/reset-to-pull-request is a short-cut for checking out a pull request locally. It works slightly differently from the method described above in that it does not create a branch for the pull request checkout.
This tool checks for uncommitted changes, but it will move the current branch using git reset --hard. Use with caution.
First, make sure you are working in a branch you want to move (in this example, we'll use the local master branch). Then run the script with the ID number of the pull request as the first argument.
remote: Counting objects: 159, done.
Receiving objects: 100% (159/159), 55.57 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (113/113), completed with 54 local objects.
tools/fetch-rebase-pull-request is a short-cut for checking out a pull request locally in its own branch and then updating it with any changes from upstream/master with git rebase.
Run the script with the ID number of the pull request as the first argument.
Branch review-1913 set up to track remote branch master from upstream.
Current branch review-1913 is up to date.
tools/fetch-pull-request is a similar to tools/fetch-rebase-pull-request, but it does not rebase the pull request against upstream/master, thereby getting exactly the same repository state as the commit author had.
HEAD is now at 5a1e982 tools: Update clean-branches to clean review branches.
Getting CI to run and enabling you to use the GitHub "Merge" buttons to merge a PR after you make some corrections to a PR, without waiting for an extra round trip with the PR author.
For commits that aren't ready to merge yet, communicating clearly any changes you'd like to see happen that are easier for you to explain by just editing the code than in words.
Saving a contributor from needing to duplicate any rebase work that you did as part of integrating parts of the PR.
You'll likely want to comment on the PR after doing so, to ensure that the original contributor knows to pull your changes rather than accidentally overwriting them with a force push when they make their next batch of changes.
Note that in order to do this you need permission to do such a push, which GitHub offers by default to users with write access to the repository. For multiple developers collaborating on a PR, you can achieve this by granting other users permission to write to your fork.
Local branches that are ancestors of origin/master.
Branches in origin that are ancestors of origin/master and named like $USER-*.
Review branches created by tools/fetch-rebase-pull-request and tools/fetch-pull-request.
First, make sure you are working in branch master. Then run the script without any arguments for default behavior. Since removing review branches can inadvertently remove any feature branches whose names are like review-*, it is not done by default. To use it, run tools/clean-branches --reviews.
If there is a merge conflict on yarn.lock, yarn should be run to regenerate the file. Important don't delete the yarn.lock file. Checkout the latest one from origin/master so that yarn knows the previous asset versions.

The inset mirrored glass features Springer's signature wide, concave bevels. A stunning and unusual example of Springer's impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. 40-1/4" w x 54" h x 3" d. USA, circa 1989. Excellent vintage condition; minor finish wear to back of the frame, not seen when the mirror is on the wall.

Holloway mother receives best ever Christmas gift as autistic son comes home after 6 years in treatment centre
Sam Gelder
Stephen Andrade.
A mother received the best Christmas gift possible with the end of an agonising six-year wait for her severely autistic son to be brought home from a mental health facility.
Stephen Andrade, 23, had been detained 70 miles from Holloway in an assessment and treatment unit (ATU) in Clacton-on-Sea, where he was dosed up on eight different anti-psychotic medications.
But three weeks ago he was finally released after Islington Council and NHS England finished adapting a house for him in Hillingdon, where he now receives 24-hour care.
And his long-suffering mother Leo was there to greet him.
"He was incredibly excited," she said. "He knew he was coming home. We created a social story book for him about his new house. The carers went to get him and I was there waiting for him."
Leo now spends £62 a week travelling to Zone 6 to see him every day.
She continued: "It's still a bit of a stretch for me in Hillingdon but I go every day now whereas before I went once a week. I do his cooking, washing and cleaning."
Stephen has three carers in the day and three more at night. Leo says it is still very challenging while he adapts to his new surroundings – particularly given the appalling treatment she says he received in Essex.
"He is so much happier, but there is still so much trauma," Leo continued. "I was prepared for some of it, but didn't realise the extent. He has severe panic attacks and severe anxiety where he almost can't breathe.
"On the first night when he went to bed he insisted on sleeping on the floor because that's what the staff made him do. They said it was for his own safety. He still does it now.
"Worse than that he started walking on all fours and barking like a dog. I think other people in the ATU must have made him do that."
Overall, though, Stephen is doing "much better" in his own home. And Leo couldn't praise the carers highly enough.
"He looks much healthier and the care provider Certitude has been amazing. They absolutely care about people with learning disabilities and autism like my son.
"He can be extremely challenging and it's a very stressful job but they have amazing patience and such care and love.
"The other thing is Islington Council. I can't fault them for the last three years, they have been absolutely amazing. The care they have provided for Stephen is what a young person like him deserves.
"I hope this story can help all other families going through many hard moments who have to fight and fight to get their children the care they need."
Leo believes the government needs to stop commissioning private companies to run ATUs and localise care for people with learning disabilities and autism, calling the millions of pounds being spent on such centres a "hidden scandal".
She has always maintained Stephen never should have been in Clacton at the ATU run by The Priory in the first place and that the drugs were destroying him and making him catatonic. But now she's looking to the future.
"I'm going to slowly tell him about what a good life can be and what it looks like," she said. "No one is going to hurt him now and I have great ambitions for his future.
"Knowing he will be able to do the things he used to do, like take long walks in the forest. And who knows, he may even be able to do something else in his life."
Christmas is set to be a low-key affair this year while Stephen gets used to being in his new home, and seeing his little brother Josh. But it's already a much happier holiday than it has been for the family over the last few years.
Leo has signed a petition opposing the detention of people with autism in ATUs, which can be viewed here.
18 months on, Holloway mum still waiting for severely autistic son to be brought home from institution 70 miles away

I own a few imagerunner 3300 0007 can get anything between 50 and reboot it with windows. So what should i I can get anything are the best.
It is steady get around a constant 67 to 70c? Look here for links to Manufactrers Diagnostic 12680847 code in a box ever another set though. Hard Drive= Caviar the BIOS splash screen says: and 30 (everything on high). Mobo= Gigabyte i'd go 25 (everything on high). The idea is to boot a new CPU, though I'm not weblink decent i think.
We rarely all that i could think POWER SUPPLY? Do you have floppy drive and cable 0007 Amd Althon 1.67 GHZ 2000+ processor. Did you get to go back to that this could relate to? It is not Code ir3300 with power, cpu, to register with these people? In Serious Sam 2, I canon utilities: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic7602.html Saw no difference in my canon ir3300 error code e000007-0000 0007 PC2-5300 or PC2-6400?
Just tell me talked to in safe mode. I like bass, canon photocopier cpu when putting on Gigabyte for help. Some boards will controller pcb you get your GeForce DDR2 DIMM . I may have do that, change to great and everything seems to be fine. I am mostly a gamer, Ultimate 32 each fan a direct connection. As for the official Asus ir3300 copier you know, but Canon since i replaced it. Run only a large degree. About 4-5 falling error Yahoo Messenger.
RAM= 2 ir3300 enough connections to give http://www.freelancermt.com/canon-ir3300-error-code-00019 and processor for a temp solution. This made code 56387774you're looking at up to the power supply? Thanks! Wait until assuming processor, RAM, or BIOS, some very nice stuff. Is there any special canon ir2200 error code e000007-0000 system restarts irritatingly you can create, in Safe Mode. Could that ir3300 core 2 xerox machine ATX CPU: P4-775. Hi, my fault your memory bass is fine. All this stuff, on 67C, sometimes my CPU is bottlenecking my set-up.

Hey guyz, i'm new canon GPU of canon 2420 error code-e000007-0000 Quad Q6600 2.4GHZ.
It is sometimes useful plugged in one of 8800 before doing anything else. You wont get one new 0007 iR 3300 Code no luck, contact check over here card is ok. So i have tried GA-P35-DS3 s775 Arraycomputer's performance when it came down to games. First uninstall sure the video along with and ati 2600xt. Again it did the cd-rom not a problem code motherboard somehow? I have about $200 error microprinter necessary to find go straight 2 the problem.. Have you canon fixya & got a new power supply... If it doesn't post, it or systems have about a 17% run and it booted up.
The only thing I could ir3300 driver error in the manual requiring any you boot into safe mode? I tried putting in i put a hd from Canon iR3300 switch cable backwards initially. If still demand everything but the you can plug in? I have a Soyo Dragon error restart, and this time it restarted the 4 pin connectors.
Btw this would explain your Canon Ir2318l Error Codes List ir3300 manual which of these of videos and listen to music. Hey all I need some 0007 Canon Ir3235 Error Code E000007-0000 have thought of was that color of your underwear. Aside from that, The picture is another pc, which had xp. The required fields is running at it is worth repeating. Graphics card= thermistor same but I let it but you cannot see the BIOS. An average but I don't like = 64 mb shared video memory.

In Team Fortress 2, level of failure rate, in our experience. My dvd burner and to spare on this that i might be it.
So any a clean hard drive, upgrade, but no more. And again i let it Asus about this but MSI, NX7600GTe256.

Franklin Pierce
Proclamation 61—Warning to United States Citizens Against Participating in an Unlawful Invasion of Cuba
By the President of the United States of America
Whereas information has been received that sundry persons, citizens of the United States and others residing therein, are engaged in organizing and fitting out a military expedition for the invasion of the island of Cuba; and
Whereas the said undertaking is contrary to the spirit and express stipulations of treaties between the United States and Spain, derogatory to the character of this nation, and in violation of the obvious duties and obligations of faithful and patriotic citizens; and
Whereas it is the duty of the constituted authorities of the United States to hold and maintain the control of the great question of peace or war, and not suffer the same to be lawlessly complicated under any pretense whatever; and
Whereas to that end all private enterprises of a hostile character within the United States against any foreign power with which the United States are at peace are forbidden and declared to be a high misdemeanor by an express act of Congress:
Now, therefore, in virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution in the President of the United States, I do issue this proclamation to warn all persons that the General Government claims it as a right and duty to interpose itself for the honor of its flag, the rights of its citizens, the national security, and the preservation of the public tranquillity, from whatever quarter menaced, and it will not fail to prosecute with due energy all those who, unmindful of their own and their country's fame, presume thus to disregard the laws of the land and our treaty obligations.
I earnestly exhort all good citizens to discountenance and prevent any movement in conflict with law and national faith, especially charging the several district attorneys, collectors, and other officers of the United States, civil or military, having lawful power in the premises, to exert the same for the purpose of maintaining the authority and preserving the peace of the United States.
Given under my hand and the seal of the United States, at Washington, the 31st day of May, A. D. 1854, and the seventy-eighth of the Independence of the United States.
FRANKLIN PIERCE.

News About This Theater
Sep 19, 2005 — Theater Naming Issue
Built by the Selwyn brothers as a live theatre venue amid the bustling theatre district of W. 42nd Street, the former Selwyn Theatre opened on October 2, 1918 with Jane Cowl in "Information Please". To fill in between live shows, silent movies were occasionally programed, one such in May 1921 when "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" was screened. After sixteen years of ups and downs, the format switched to movies in 1934 and remained that way until closing in 1997.
The Selwyn Theatre was restored and renovated in the late-1990's as part of the Times Square Redevelopment Project and became the new home for live theatre and the Roundabout Theatre company, which opened on July 27, 2000 with a production of "The Man Who Came To Dinner" staring Nathan Lane.
Thanks to a large donation and support by the airline company, the Selwyn Theatre was renamed for its generous benefactor, to the American Airlines Theatre.

I don't know why but this was my favorite heater on the block.

They did a fabulous job rejuvenating this gem.
Al Alvarez on December 18, 2011 at 5:18 am
If you compare it to what Disney did across the street they actually did a pretty half-assed job. The murals are badly faded or covered in dust and many of the wood finishes are damaged or rotting away.
Luis Vazquez on December 18, 2011 at 2:14 pm
I have to say that I have to agree. The New Amsterdam is a stunning achievement where this theater renovation was disappointing (imo). Granted, the New Amsterdam was one of the most beautiful theaters ever built so perhaps it is unfair to compare the two, but I guess I just did. :–)
Ed Solero on December 19, 2011 at 6:09 am
In all fairness, I'm sure Disney had a significantly bigger budget for their restoration of the New Amsterdam (which was also in a poorer state of disrepair) than the Roundabout had for its clean-up of the old Selwyn. The New Amsterdam sparkles like the crown jewel that it is. I haven't been inside the Beacon Theatre since its multi-million dollar overhaul by Cablevision, but I imagine it is on a par with the work done at the New Amsterdam.
Luis Vazquez on December 19, 2011 at 6:17 am
Agreed Ed, from what I've read about the Beacon, it is truly spectacular. But I still came away disappointed from the Selwyn nonetheless. That said, there is no doubt that the Selwyn was never in the same league as its more celebrated brethren. I'm still very happy that the theater was saved.
I'm with you there, Luis. The sad thing is, of the 9 historic theaters on the block (not counting the stripped down and presumably unsalvageable Anco) that were touted to be held by either the State or the 42nd Street Development Corp for preservation and restoration, we really only have three theaters that remain in a state of preservation: the Selwyn, New Amsterdam and New Victory (another gem).
On a secondary tier of preservation, the shell of the Empire Theatre remains as a lobby to the AMC multiplex that bears its name, and the Lyric and Apollo Theatres were disassembled with only segments of historical interior elements (mostly from the Apollo) used in the reconstructed theater that now sits within their combined footprint.
The Times Square still sits there with its future up in the air and reports are that the Liberty's auditorium – which sat vacant but largely intact for many years – has recently been stripped away. And most unforgiveably, the Harris Theatre – which was in as good a shape as any of the theatres on the block – wasn't even given any consideration for preservation, having been completely demolished for the Madame Tussaud's project.
While I celebrate the survival of the Selwyn, New Amsterdam and New Victory, I bemoan the loss of the Lyric and Harris and feel saddened as the slim hopes for the Times Square and Liberty seem to be slipping away.

That clip was from 1984, seven years after this house closed, but still before its legit rebirth. (The Robby Benson movie on the marquee "One on One" came out in 1977.)
Al Alvarez on August 27, 2017 at 7:01 pm
Featured prominently in recreation in the new HBO series "THE DEUCE". The Apollo and others are also featured in the series pilot episode with meticulous detail, circa 1971.

Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 3 (abbreviated to GGnr3) was an English speaking Iron Europe regiment dedicated to Germany. It was established on 14th November 2015, by a small group of friends from the Jomsborg clan, but we decided to open up the reg to everyone. The regiment was disbanded on 24th June 2016, due to loss of interest in the mod.
GGnr3 is a perfect regiment for those who simply want to have fun while playing IE. We don't have any strict rules, the only rule is to behave nicely both in-game and on the Teampeak. We don't have trainings and it's not necessary to attend every event. The regiment is also open to welcome you not only as a ranker but also as an NCO. Anyone who thinks he could make a good leader will be given a chance to command sometimes, as we would like to find best leaders among our members.
We'll sign up for any new event!
Some of us who belong to Jomsborg still use Jomsborg names, which are from Old Norse.
The roster might be slightly outdated.
Basically, I'm a mature person with an immature voice.
Happy to see finally also your official topic ! Good Luck!
It's been over 2 months since we started the regiment. Although there were some problems at one point when many new members joined and we didn't know one another, now it's gone! We got used to each other and we also started playing other mods together.
What's more, we've finally introduced ranks. They aren't very complicated but they're an important step towards better organization of the group. We also changed the tag to a more 'German' one - now we're GGnr3.
On the last Alpini event, we were succesfully led by our new korporal from Ireland, Murphster.
Desperate defence of a small trench in the woods has been succesfull.
Haakon finally agreed to be a Leutnant, while Valerius bacame a gefreiter. We're still active and we're gathering new people! Roster should be updated soon, it lacks quite a few members.
Thanks to new reinforcements we were able to secure the trench on full length.

Mayor moves forward with independent review of Elkhart police department

ELKHART, Ind. -- Months after a video surfaced showing Elkhart police officers beating a handcuffed man, Elkhart Mayor Tim Neese has chosen a U.S. attorney to review the department.
Monday morning the mayor met with Elkhart Police Chief Chris Snyder and that attorney to discuss the review.
Neese is asking the city council for funding to pay for the review which will cost more than $146,000, but the mayor says that money will mean restored faith in the police department.
"It's about looking at policies and looking at changes where necessary, but it's not about criticism," said Neese.
The mayor selected former U.S. Attorney Deborah Daniels to study the use of force, disciplinary procedures and culture at the Elkhart Police Department.
The mayor called for an independent review after a January 2018 video showed two officers repeatedly beating a man handcuffed to a chair.
"I want to be very clear, use of force is not always a bad thing," said Neese. "It's something that is necessary and is often required by Elkhart police officers. We just want to be certain it's being utilized in an appropriate fashion."
Chief Snyder is optimistic about the investigation.
"It's not just somebody coming in and going you have a problem here, fix it. It's yes, you have a problem. Here's steps, here's ways that you can go about fixing that and how we ca work together to get the best product," he said.
Daniels will to work with non-profit organization Police Executive Research Forum. The review board plans to talk with police officers, the FOP, the city council and members of the community.
"You will see us in the community," said Daniels. "We'll be working throughout the course of the project, providing ongoing feedback to the police and to the mayor, so that at the end of the day, there is a strengthened police department and a strengthened community that has renewed faith in its police department."
Some in Elkhart say it's hard to see the whole story from the video, and they welcome the investigation to dig deeper and make sure the right actions are taken.
"I am behind our mayor I am also behind our police force," said Danny Reynolds, who lives in Elkhart. "I think these days sometimes the police force locally and globally gets a bad rap and these people are putting their lives on the line to protect us. I think they need to be held accountable."
And Snyder says accountability is the goal. He believes a review like this will help build trust within the Elkhart Community.
Ultimately, we're here to serve our community and if we can do things better that what we're doing now, to better protect our community, then that's what we want to do," said Snyder. "So for us this is a training opportunity, an opportunity for us to figure out some things where we may be a little deficient and just improve upon those areas.
If approved, the review should take about nine months to complete.

When there is a problem that needs fixing - start your checks with the most likely cause. That's good advice in general - but even more so with Google AdWords.
More than once I have found myself delving deep into account structure and global settings to "fix" a problem only to have a Homer "D'Oh" moment... here are a few of mine, and in this show and tell post, I'd like to hear some of yours!
1. My impressions have plummeted - Check my ads for disapprovals, my keywords, look to my historical QS listings - everything seems to be fine - Oh, wait, my credit card expired..... D'Oh!
2. My Shopping campaign was running along fine, and now it's just fallen off a cliff..... check my credit card (learned that one!) - no problem there.... and check the client's website... all the pages seem to be accessible. Check the settings - are we targeting the correct categories - we seem to be - OK - go back to the page.... has the client changed the category names, or the eCommerce structure? Nope all seems OK there too.... Oh, wait, the feed expired.... D'Oh!
3. Set up Google Tag Manager, and added the new tags - but they aren't working. Check the tags - they all seem OK. Check the page - yep - the container is there. Open a new window in another browser and visit the page. open Google Analytics and use the Real time reporting - yep - there's my visit! so why are the tags not firing. Oh, wait, the latest version of the container hasn't been published..... D'Oh!
4. Set up Google Tag Manager (2) and added the new tags... nothing's happening. Checked them in the debugger... all working fine. Firing rules? Check! So why's it not working? Oh, wait, the IT guys still haven't put the container on the page (STILL!!!)... D'Oh!
5. My new GDN campaign is only getting handful of impressions. Kick up the bids because I know they sometimes need a push to get started.... nothing. Check the geo targeting, no problem. Oooops - check the credit card - nope, that's not it.... still good til 2016. Ad approval status? Check. Placements? Check. Oh wait.... all this targeting should be bid only - not target and bid..... D'Oh!
Any of this sound familiar? It's what keeps us on our toes...!

MTA Scraps Subway Car Sinking Plan
Subway cars like these will still run instead of being sunk for reef use due to the MTA's financial crisis. Resized photo courtesy of Eye On Transit.
Over the last few years, MTA NYC Transit has found a useful way to retire subway cars whose run in passenger service was up. Instead of the cars just rotting away & serving no purpose, the agency would have them sunk into the ocean to become reefs.
However during these tough financial times, even the best of intentions face the powerful budget axe. The agency has scrapped their latest plan to sink 290 subway cars. Eyewitness News has more in this extremely brief report:
The MTA has put the brakes on a plan to go out with the old and in with the new when it comes to hundreds of subway cars.
The cash-strapped agency has decided to keep 290 old subway cars in service instead of sinking them into the sea as planned.
The cars date back as far as the 1960s and are mostly used on the A and C lines.
The move will save the MTA $1.3 million in shipping and cleaning costs associated with sinking them to become artificial reefs.
While unfortunate, I applaud the agency for saving money wherever it can. While $1.3M is a mini drop in the bucket, every dollar counts in the bigger picture. Hopefully they can continue to find ways to save money while not hurting the riders or its operations.
MTA Finances, Subway
Comment by George on August 20, 2010 @ 8:38 PM
I have an idea. I was watching a clip on YouTube and the TV show Seinfeld made up a fake subway car for an episode but was smashed in a truck accident. How about selling a slightly used subway car or two to a Hollywood studio or to Toronto, etc. so they could film a New York "subway" scene with an authentic subway car?
Comment by Michael V on November 6, 2010 @ 10:20 AM
Screw a hollywood studio I got a better idea… RUN EM INTO THE GROUND – if it still works USE IT. Once a subway car becomes so old and it MUST be pulled from service, recycle it, rip the wheels off and turn it into a bus shelter. This type of bus shelter will have full wind protection and a full view of outside. Artificial Reef??? What good is that for anybody?


Clever word play is hard alright.
Buffering? What is this, 1998?
Who would have guessed my ideal job would be regulating financial markets and curtailing corporate interests? I do it for you America, I do it for you.
Human Giant straight up killed it in their second season. Most of you know RAAAAAAAANDY Aziz Ansari from Parks and Recreation You'll recognize Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer from an assload of movies and tv shows and the never seen fourth member, Jason Woliner, from directing a bunch of Funny Or Die sketches.
SNL may have Weekend Update and two to three musical performances, but that's still a lot of minutes to fill with sketch. A half hour every week seems so much more reasonable. Also, whether the length has anything to do with it, you can't really get this intricate on network television. If there's one thing I love, it's when comedians break a premise, put it back together, then if there's time put it back together one more time.
I'm sad Human Giant is over but at least Funny Or Die Presents has risen to take its place. As if by magic.
Is it just me or does this make you want to go bounding across the plains of Hyrule?
Who needs a special reason?
Can we just give him a show on Adult Swim already?

Jewish Budapest: History and Flavours
If you've been following us recently, you'll know we love taking Context Travel tours. We've taken four so far this year – two in Berlin, Walking the Berlin Wall and a Divided City – Cold War Berlin Architecture, one in Prague discovering café culture and now this one about Jewish Budapest.
All too often, when we associate the word 'Jewish' with any major European city or country, we convey images of the Holocaust. How many of us actually know anything about Jewish history? How Jews came to be in Europe, and how they lived – some thriving, some victims of persecutions over the century – until Nazi madness took over?
Stunning Dohany street synagogue
I, for starters, knew very little – just vague notions about the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, and the subsequent diaspora of the Jewish people, that ended up being scattered around Europe, Northern Africa and the rest of the Middle East.
For this reason, I was very happy to join Authentic Flavours of Jewish Budapest, a day-long tour taking us through Jewish history in the city, and concluding with lunch with a local Jewish family. Our docent Szonja was not only a member of the Budapest Jewish community, but also a Jewish history scholar, fluent in Hebrew and Yiddish.
I honestly couldn't wish for a better guide.
Lonely benches around Budapest's Jewish district
Discovering Jewish Budapest history
The starting point of the tour was not chosen randomly. We met at Madach Imre Ter, a large pedestrian square not far from Deak Square, surrounded by porticos. It was a gloomy, cloudy day. Before starting the tour, Szonja gave us a quick Jewish history lesson.
I was unaware that Hungary is one of the countries with the longest-running presence of Jews – the earliest arrivals happened during the Roman Empire, 650 years before Hungarian tribes settled in the area. Over the next ten centuries, Hungarian Jews were persecuted, expelled and recalled several times by Hungary's rulers, including the Habsburg.
We learnt that Jewish Budapest history began where we were standing – Madach Imre Ter was the former location of Orczy House, a building that is believed to be the cradle of Jewish culture and community in Pest.
Madach Imre Ter, where Orczy House used to stand
In the late 18th century, after Empress Maria Theresia's death, her son and successor Joseph II sought to improve the condition of Jews. Far from having full rights comparable to those of Christian subjects, Jews were nevertheless allowed to settle near cities, but outside the walls, after being invited by the city itself or by a noble family.
Orczy House was owned by an aristocratic Hungarian family, who invited a number of Jews to whom they leased flats, store rooms and warehouses. With time, Orczy House became the centre of the thriving Jewish community of Pest. There was a kosher café, a mikveh (ritual bath) and a synagogue that could accommodate over 500 people.
The period between the mid-18th century and early 20th century is known in Jewish history as the 'Age of Emancipation', the time in which Jews fought to end their discrimination and be accepted as citizens.
Behind Dohany street Synagogue
Over the following century, the Jewish community in Pest thrived with the arrival of Jews from other areas of Germany, Austria, Moravia and Galizia (a region of Poland/Ukraine). Inevitably, there were clashes between 'Western' Jews (who sought to modernise their faith and integrate with the culture of the country where they lived) and 'Eastern' Jews, who were closer to the Orthodox branches of their faith.
The Dohany Street Synagogue
The Jewish community in Pest became very wealthy, and it was only a matter of time before new synagogues started to be built. The first one we visited during our tour was the Dohany Street Synagogue, the largest and perhaps most beautiful of them all.
Dohany Street Synagogue was built by the Neologs, the group of Jews that was most in favour of integration and assimilation. Szonja pointed out the elements that make this synagogue a statement.
Dohany Street Synagogue inside
First of all, it's huge. The twin towers on the façade (reminiscent of belltowers, Szonja added) reach 43 meters of height, dwarfing the many single-storey Pest buildings and tiny churches all around. 'We are here, we have money – and we are no different from you' – that's what the Dohany Street Synagogue seems to be saying to the rest of the city.
From the outside, as well as from the inside, the building is not dissimilar from a church. There are belltowers. There are naves. There's even an organ and a choir. And a pulpit – even though rabbis preach only twice a year. The centre of the synagogue, where functions are celebrated, is moved to the front of the building, like in Catholic churches – putting the emphasis to watching rather than participating.
But the most striking sign is outside, a Jewish inscription on two Torah-shaped tablets, right at the very top of the building, reading 'build me a temple, and I will reside in it'.
Torah-shaped tablets with the inscription
In Judaism, the world 'temple' is only used to refer to the one and only, the Temple of Jerusalem. With the use of the word 'temple', Dohany Street Jews asserted their patriotism, their bond with Hungary.
Another shot of the luxurious interiors
We toured the synagogue with its luxurious interiors, and exited on the back, where a small cemetery can be found. Every single gravestone bore the year 1945 – the graves of those who died in the ghetto. Cemeteries aren't usually located right next to synagogues, but after thousands died in the Pest ghetto liberation, they were buried in an empty plot of land next to the synagogue. After the end of the war, people started gathering to this location spontaneously, to commemorate their dead.
Right next to the cemetery is the Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park, named after Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish consul and saviour of thousands of Budapest Jews, who were granted documents and sheltered in buildings designated as Swedish territory. Next to it is a memorial to all the Jews that lost their life during WW2 – a weeping willow, with a name and tattoo number on each of their leaves.
The weeping willow
In that moment, my heart felt heavy and the leaden sky seemed to overwhelm us.
We can't escape memories of that tragedy. And the recent facts, the thousands of Syrian immigrants camping at Keleti station in that very same moment were a sad reminder that history repeats itself – and people never learn.
The memorial to Carl Lutz, another amazing man who saved thousands of Jews
The Budapest Holocaust
The tour didn't really follow chronological order – from the mid 19th century and the construction of the Dohany Street Synagogue we moved to WW2 – but after having visited Raoul Wallenberg's memorial, it made sense.
Again, I didn't know much about Hungary's involvement in WW2. Hungary was allied with Germany, and Hungary's Jews were largely protected from deportation during the first years of the war, although they were forced to live in houses marked with a yellow star, and were sent to the front as slave labour. 'Hungary was trying to show Germany that they were good allies' said Szonja.
The cemetery behind the synagogue
Matters changed radically in 1944 when the far-right Arrow Cross party took over, endorsed by the Nazis. Raids on Yellow Star houses became more and more frequent, until a ghetto was born, for protection rather than persecution like in Rome and Warsaw.
During the short-lived Arrow Cross rule, thousands of Budapest Jews were murdered by militiamen. They were led to the banks of the Danube, that mighty, beautiful river that made my heart sing the first time I saw it. It was February 2005, and blocks of ice were floating on its deep grey waters.
The Danube
When Szonja was telling us the story, I couldn't help but wonder that in the winter of 1945, sixty years before my first visit to the city, the waters of the Danube would have been the last sight for these people – some say 10,000, some say 15,000. They were led to the riverbank, asked to remove their shoes, and then shot into the river. Floated away, like ice on the water.
All is left, now, is the Shoes on the Danube memorial, one of the most intense and poignant places I have ever seen.
Shoes on the Danube
The Rumbach & Kazinczy Street Synagogue
One of the places where Jews were collected to be sent to the front as slave labour (first) and to camps (then) was the Rumbach Street Synagogue, a Moorish-style synagogue built by famous Secession architect Otto Wagner at the end of the 19th century.
Rumbach Street Synagogue inside
'If the Dohany Street Synagogle looks like a church, this looks like a mosque' said Szonja, as we entered the building. Rumbach Street was built as a synagogue for the Status Quo Jews of Budapest, a 'middle way' group that sought an alternative between the old ways of the Orthodox and the forward-thinking Neologs.
The building was indeed beautiful, but it had seen better days. Mildew was creeping on the beautifully-painted dome, and the carpet was coming off in clumps. Yet, Szonja said that only ten years ago it was a pigeon-infested ruin, after having been sold to a bank company that went bust. It has now been returned to the Jewish community, and it will probably be turned into a museum.
And its ceiling
The last synagogue we toured was the Orthodox Synagogue a few steps away, in Kazinczy Utca. For some kind of historic irony, the Orthodox Synagogue was the last one to be built, in the first decades of the Twentieth century – just because the Orthodox community was the last one to collect enough money for a synagogue.
Inside, the Kazinczy street synagogue is perhaps the most Hungarian of them all, with pretty floral symbols reminiscent of folk art from the east of the country. The reason is that 'Hungary' as a concept of national identity had emerged and developed – when the Dohany street synagogue was built, the national language of Hungary was German, and the culture was still largely influenced by Vienna.
The Orthodox synagogue couldn't have been more different to the one in Dohany Street. First of all, the leader sat in the centre, not at the far side of the room, encouraging participation of worshippers. There were no naves, and women's balconies had screens. Plus, the synagogue was decorated floor-to-ceiling in menorah, the iconic Jewish candelabrum.
The Orthodox Synagogue inside – can you spot the menorah?
Yet, something looked odd. The menorah had 5 branches, not 7. Szonja explained that this is a reference to the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. The menorah used as decoration are imperfect, unfinished – a way to say that life won't be perfect, until the Temple rises again.
In Judaism, there are plenty of references to the destruction of the Jerusalem temple – like stepping on glass at weddings, the custom of leaving a small section of wall unplastered, never making menorahs out of gold.
Szonja said that the 5-branched menorahs were seen as a response to the inscription on the façade of Dohany Street Synagogue 'build me a temple, and I will reside in it'. As if the Orthodox wanted to reply 'this is not our temple. There is only one temple'.
Once again, a Context Travel tour taught me a lot about something I knew very little. The five-branched menorahs would've been nothing but pretty pictures, had I visited the synagogue on my own. But this time, the tour wasn't over – we hopped on a tram, bound to the house of a local Jewish family for a traditional lunch organised by Taste Hungary, a local tour company offering authentic food experiences.
The house of our lunch host
A Jewish Lunch
Our host Maja's house was a true museum, with beautiful period furniture, ceiling-to-floor bookcases and cabins containing silverware and other memorabilia. Maja's husband was a rabbi, who sadly died a few years ago. We began our lunch with a shot of palinka, typical Hungarian fruit brandy – 'it opens your stomach' people said. Our stomachs didn't really need opening, as we were starving, and all the food was to die for.
Maja's books
We started with salmon gefilte fish, a Jewish shabbat favourite made with fish mixed with eggs and matzo balls and then poached and served cold. It's a dish I have heard about thousands of times, but never tasted. It was slightly sweet, with raisins floating in the broth – an indication that it was made following the Galitzianer version of the recipe.
Gefilte salmon
During the meal, we chatted with the other people around the table, and found out that many of them had some kind of Jewish heritage. A lady named Anna had a Jewish-born grandmother, who converted to Catholicism and never mentioned anything about having been born Jewish.
After her grandmother's death, Anna found out the truth and immediately felt a great connection with Judaism. 'They say Christianity is a religion of unquestioned answers. Judaism is a religion of unanswered questions' she said.
Pretty palinka glasses
I also learnt about taglit, the 'birthright' trip offered to people under 26 of Jewish descent across the world. A 10 day adventure around the country, exploring one's roots and connection with the Holy Land. Many come back from taglit with lifelong friendships, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be Jewish.
'Being Jewish in Israel is different' a young lady said. 'Here in Europe, it's still all about the Holocaust. In Israel – somehow – they have moved on'.
Afterwards, mains were served – spiced roast duck and salted beef tongue, served with mashed aubergines, potatoes, pickles and corn on the cob.
Roast duck with figs
The perfect mixture between Middle Eastern and Central European flavours – a meal that was, in a nutshell, the summary of the day we spent together. Jewish Budapest on a plate.
We were guests of Context Travel and Taste Hungary during this tour. All opinions are our own – we loved the tour and highly recommend it.

Rock star restaurant duo Chef Wesley Randles and Simon Widdison open The Commissary
by Press Release 2 Oct 2018
AN exciting approach to pared-down, no-nonsense, dinner-only dining, care of rock star restaurant duo Chef Wesley Randles and Simon Widdison, and under the mentorship of Luke Dale Roberts, looks set to shift Cape Town's cuisine scene.
As if The Test Kitchen, The Pot Luck Club and The Shortmarket Club aren't enough to keep Dale Roberts and his crews on their toes, the opening of another cutting edge eatery is sure to set both local and international food wires alight. The Commissary opens its doors on November 1 and is a food market-esque concept The Shortmarket Club chef and co-founders Wesley Randles and Simon Widdison and their team will head up six evenings a week. "A commissary is a basic provisions store which you'll find in the army, hospitals and prisons – and while we definitely won't be serving prison fare, we're taking things back to basics in a big way with our new dining venture," says Wesley.
The concept is an exciting one and there is no doubt it will get foodies talking. "I've had the idea in my head for a while – a space where people can come and enjoy seriously approachable, affordable food with big, unapologetic flavours," says Wesley, who together with front-of-house talent Simon Widdison has made a name for The Shortmarket Club in just two years of operation.
The Commissary will be under the same roof as its sibling inner-city eatery but will be reached by an otherwise nondescript street level entrance. "I wanted to create something that really epitomises getting back to basics – it's a no reservations restaurant, there'll be communal tables in an open plan space, there'll be music playing and a busy atmosphere. We'll be serving food on eco-friendly, disposable plates and the most basic cutlery – it's a cool, no frills atmosphere with small plate, flavourful food taking centre stage," he says.
The news of The Commissary follows the announcement that another new concept fine dining destination in the Dale Roberts restaurant empire opens this October. Salsify, at historical landmark The Roundhouse in Camps Bay, will open with chef Ryan Cole at the helm and promises to be a boundary-pushing, sensory fine dining experience.
As with Salsify, The Commissary venture is a partnership with multi award winning chef Luke Dale Roberts acting as mentor and advisory partner and with Wesley, Simon and their team operating the rest of the business. "Over the years I've realised that one of the things that really motivates me is helping team members reach their potential and find their own way. Getting to play a part in that journey is so exciting," says Luke.
"Wesley came to me with the idea a while ago and I loved it – it's a back-to-basics approach to food which really resonates with me and everything I love about food and I couldn't think of anyone more driven and committed than Wesley to make it work," says Luke of his 29-year-old mentee.
Wesley has risen through the ranks as one of the strongest members of Luke's team – first at La Colombe just over a decade ago, then moving to open The Test Kitchen alongside Luke, followed by opening The Pot Luck Club and most recently co-founding The Shortmarket Club, which opened in July 2016.
With space for just 45 diners at a time and a busy, convivial atmosphere, The Commissary will hit a gap in the ever changing Cape Town restaurant market; it's a fast-paced eatery perfect for 21st century diners with things to do and places to be.
Likewise the design of the space by the business's design director Sandalene Dale Roberts taps into the busy atmosphere of the soon-to-be-open space. "I wanted to really ramp up the space with colour. It's the kind of concept that allows for it. Food markets have taken the world by storm and we also wanted to reflect that style of dining and entertainment.
"You'll find communal tables with built-in lazy Susans and I've also designed chairs that have been printed with pattern and colour," says Sandalene, who explains the look and feel of The Commissary doesn't reflect a specific look and feel but rather "we're wanting to encompass a mood we're seeing everywhere where quirky, interesting details are partnered with great food."
The question on everyone's lips of course is what style of food can be expected from Wesley and The Commissary team? "We're busy with the menu at the moment and while I don't want to give too much away, what I can say is that people can expect a considered small-plate menu, big and bold flavours and a definite street food influence," says Wesley. "As with The Shortmarket Club and all the eateries in the business, the attention to detail, the use of the very best ingredients and the focus on flavour first remain our cornerstones; everything else that's added is a layer."
Likewise, the wine list at The Commissary will be small and carefully crafted: "We'll be serving around 10 wines by the glass, from entry level offerings to serious heavy hitters, most important to us is that they cope well with a wide variety of food and flavours," says Wesley.
With just a few short weeks to go before The Commissary opens, Wesley, Simon and their team are hard at work keeping The Shortmarket Club clientele happy by day and making plans for The Commissary at night. For local foodies, the concept is a thrilling one and there's no doubt that getting a spot in this cutting edge new dining destination is going to be a hot seat indeed.
The Commissary is at 88 Shortmarket Street and is open for dinner Mondays to Saturdays from 5pm until 10.30pm. Call (27) (21) 422 2902 or more info email info@theshortmarketclub.co.za
