In Week #4, your LMQC bloggers Jeni Tackett and Aryn Lloyd, Rock Valley Physical Therapy, remind you that this is not a race, but a new lifestyle. Here's how to handle the negative thoughts, diet temptations and weight plateaus that dog any fitness challenge.
Jeni Tackett: How is your attitude? Are you struggling to believe that you'll reach your goal?
If you're feeling too deprived, you might feel pessimistic.
People with a positive outlook tend to lead healthier lives. You need to believe that you can make changes and eat a healthy diet for the rest of your life!
So, if you're tempted by a food that you've designated off-limits, maybe it's time to reconsider. You're changing your lifestyle, after all, and need to be flexible.
No foods are off limits, but you need to be aware of portions. If you are desperate for chocolate, purchase a small portion rather than a large bag.
Remember that this is for life, so even enjoying a small indulgence is part of life, too.
And think of something positive about your journey.
Aryn Lloyd: Sometimes we see ourselves as a success or failure. We expect perfection, or our plans don't turn out the way we intended.
We might compare ourselves to others, or feel like we should be doing what everyone else is doing. We should be on a diet. The list goes on.
As Jeni points out, your attitude and the way you think affect your lifestyle choices.
The good news is that you have the ability to change your mindset in a positive way by talking back to your negative thoughts!
Try to catch yourself by identifying your negative thoughts. Visualize a big stop sign and say stop! or halt! to yourself.
Try to switch that negative thought to a more positive thought.
Hint: A great time to practice this is during exercise!
We need to allow room for slip-ups and to get back on track, work toward balance, remind ourselves that health isn't a race, learn what is difficult for us.
Ten minutes of exercise is better than none. So give something a try, even if it is hard or the weather isn't nice out.
Jeni: When your weight loss plateaus (which it always does), you need to focus on the other positive aspects of healthy eating.
If you are increasing the fruits and vegetables in your diet, then you are getting more fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C, which are important for your heart, stomach, and intestinal health.
If you have increased the whole grains, beans, and nuts in your diet, then you are getting more magnesium and fiber. Magnesium is important for blood pressure control.
Overall, healthier eating gives you more energy, and reduces that sluggish feeling after a high fat, high sugar meal or snack.
Aryn: Weight plateaus are a normal experience. Most find when they incorporate exercise, they also start gaining muscle. This is a good thing!
Muscle makes you more physically fit, and enables you to do activities better, because you are stronger.
A plateau means it is time to see if you need to change your FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type).
Do you need to increase frequency or number of times per week you are active?
How about your intensity? Could you walk faster, add some hills, or an incline, increase the weight or resistance?
Could you increase the amount of time in your workout to burn more calories? Could you vary time of day?
Last, have you considered changing the type of exercise?
Explore which exercises or lifestyle activities burn the most calories. Fit-o-meter is a great tool.
Focus on all of the other benefits – besides weight loss – of exercise. They include feeling better, improved mood, lowered overall blood sugar, lowered blood pressures, lowered triglycerides, and raised HDL, or good cholesterol.
*Keep a journal of your healthy eating will allow you to see your progress.
*Weigh yourself just weekly, on the same day, and time of day.
*Take measurements weekly, on a different day, for motivation when the scale does not change.
*Keep your goals written down and visible: on your refrigerator, on your desk at work, or by the bed. The list may help you resist chocolate, brought in to work, or the desire to drive to Whitey's in the evening.
*Set a few small goals, and give yourself a non-food reward, like a massage, pedicure, personal training session, weekend trip, or night out at the movies. Having a reward to look forward to can increase your motivation to continue living your healthy lifestyle.
*Record your physical activity minutes, your steps per day, or the calories burned, in your training or food journal. You will become more mindful of what you are doing, and see what activity changes to make for the next week.
*Compare your 200-calorie candy bar to the 40 minutes it took to burn it off. The candy bar might not seem as tempting next time.
*Set your walking shoes by the door, or your bed. If you see them rather than your slippers, you may be more likely to use them.
*Try Google's new goal scheduler on its calendar app. You can assign exercise goals in your phone using the Google app, by clicking the plus sign. Google will find free time in your schedule to input exercise into your calendar. It also integrates with Apple Health and Google Fit.
*Don't forget to reward your progress along the way. Brainstorm some small rewards for accomplishing those smaller weekly tasks, and pick out a larger prize for the end goal. Keep your eye on the prize for motivation, and, remember, the biggest intangible prize is better health!

Colin Grant '17
Colin Grant '17
Since the day he picked up the trumpet in the fourth grade, Colin Grant has traversed a vast musical landscape. Far before questions concerning his higher education and career choice ever entered the conversation, he was living a life filled with musical discovery. Growing up in southern New Jersey, he established music as a priority in his life in both performance and consumption, playing in his high school's orchestra, symphonic band, jazz band, and marching band. Music from all manner of genre, multimedia sound design, video game music—it was all a part of him.
Before coming to SFCM, Grant attended the University of Pittsburgh, double majoring in music and communications. At Pittsburgh, he played in the school's African and Carpathian ensembles, exploring a sea of repertoire and style fit for his curiosity. He even took Western African percussion and dance. But it became clear that there was one component in his education that had not been properly tapped. He needed to get out there in the real world and see how the music industry worked.
In light of his ambition, Grant seeked out internships and side jobs that allowed him a taste of life among music professionals. He edited programs for local classical radio station WQED, he worked with Pro Tools helping out a Pittsburgh-based audio company, and served as an intern for rapper/singer-songwriter Kellee Maize. After all this and more, Grant felt he was on the right track, and that's when he took a look at SFCM's Technology and Applied Composition (TAC) program.
"I felt like I really wanted to hone in on music tech, so I wanted to find an MA or one-year degree or an MFA that would help me with that," says Grant. "One of the criteria that I was looking for was a school that would let me continue my sound design, as well. At first, SFCM was on my radar just because a few years ago at my school Mason Bates actually came and gave a talk. And I thought, 'I want to see what he's doing.'"
Digging deeper into SFCM's courses and curriculum, Grant discovered TAC and took on the one-year professional studies diploma program, recently graduating this past May. And with the pieces falling into place, he landed one of the most sought-after internships in the video game industry just as he was finishing up his degree: a summer internship with Sony Playstation. Working specifically with the music production team, Grant feels this is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who wants to work in the video game industry.
"It's an opportunity to see every facet of what they do in production," he says.

London Bar Serves $23 Whisky Cocktail Alongside a Virtual Reality Headset
Expect VR to play a major role at CES 2016.Bloomberg Bloomberg via Getty Images
A London bar has devised a cocktail with an unusual twist, it allows the drinker to escape the city for the Scottish hills.
The whisky-based "Origin" cocktail comes with a virtual reality headset that transports you to the distillery where the spirit is from.
At 18 pounds ($23) a shot, the drink is made with 12-year-old Dalmore whisky, while the accompanying virtual reality experience aims to show guests at the bar in the One Aldwych hotel the origin of its ingredients.
Drinkers get a tour of sweeping Scottish fields and babbling brooks where the cereal and water used in the whisky is sourced.
"We get a lot of people saying 'oh I have goose bumps' because it is happening in front of you," bar manager Pedro Paulo, who came up with the idea, told Reuters.
"When you take (the headset) off and the drink is actually right in front of you it gives people that sense of uniqueness, they feel unique," he added.

The Best Ways to Fix College Admissions Are Probably Illegal
Cooperation among selective schools would make students' lives easier. It would also likely run afoul of federal antitrust law.
Jeffrey Selingo
Jon Herskovitz / Reuters
Year after year, the admissions process at selective colleges seems to make high-schoolers and their parents only more anxious. The numbers are wild: Harvard admitted just 4.6 percent of its nearly 43,000 applicants for the class that begins this fall. Stanford accepted only 4.29 percent, and Princeton 5.5 percent. Although selective schools—those that accept fewer than half of applicants—enroll only about one-fifth of U.S. undergraduates, they account for more than one-third of applications each year.
Plenty of ideas to fix the system—to make it more bearable for students, parents, and even colleges themselves—have been floated in recent years, including restructuring the whole process to be a somewhat randomized lottery, or implementing a matching system akin to how medical-school graduates are placed in residencies. They are promising, but they have something problematic in common: In all likelihood, they'd be illegal.
That's because, like nearly every other American company and organization, colleges and universities are subject to antitrust law, meaning they are bound to compete with one another in a way the government deems fair. Such antitrust provisions are vital—they are what stop, say, automakers from raising the price of cars in unison—but in the case of higher education, it might turn out that antitrust law stands in the way of making college admissions, as well as the linked and similarly fraught process for divvying out financial aid, fairer and less harrowing for all involved.
Take, for example, the idea of a national clearinghouse or a matching system, similar to the one for medical-residency programs. With a national clearinghouse, students could upload their academic records and accomplishments during their high-school career and then in their senior year simply press a button to apply to colleges. The database would be open to admissions officers at all colleges, so they could see where else students are applying, bringing a level of openness to the process. Under a matching system, students and colleges would each submit rank-order lists of each other and be paired as closely as possible.
Those who follow admissions closely tend to think that such a system would ease the pressures on students, parents, and schools. But, alas, antitrust law prohibits it—it would produce a level of cooperation that the federal government would likely find unacceptable. (The medical-residency match program is legal because Congress granted it an antitrust exemption about 15 years ago.)
Other promising college-admissions fixes that have been proposed run up against some of the same problems. One feature of the shared application designed by an advocacy group called the Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success is a virtual "locker," which is already being tested by more than 130 prestigious schools. It allows students as early as ninth grade to upload their written work, videos, photos, and other materials that show off their potential beyond a transcript. At first, only students can access the locker, but over time they can open it to their parents, counselors, and to colleges through the admissions process. While the virtual locker doesn't have the transparency of a clearinghouse, it too might raise antitrust concerns one day, depending on how colleges want to share access with each other.
Another idea that has been floated is to have admissions to selective colleges determined by a lottery. The names of qualified students would be picked at random until a class is filled. "A strict lottery system for academically qualified applicants would be the most equitable, least costly, and most publicly explainable method of dealing with the ever-growing demand for scarce seats at our most selective institutions," said Barmak Nassirian, the director of federal relations for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. A lottery system would also, in all likelihood, not pass muster with the Department of Justice, which enforces antitrust law, because depending on how it was administered, it likely would require colleges to share information about applicants with each other.
Another option: Put a limit on the number of colleges to which students can apply. The proportion of college freshmen who applied to seven or more colleges reached 35 percent in 2016, up from 18 percent a decade ago, and from just 9 percent in 1990. Some eight in 10 freshmen in 2016 applied to at least three colleges. "If you limited it to, say, five, everyone would get fewer applicants," said Catharine Bond Hill, the former president of Vassar College who now heads the nonprofit research group Ithaka S+R. This is a solution that might not be banned by antitrust provisions, as it might be able to be implemented through, say, the Common Application, rather than through the direct cooperation of colleges.
Even changes that work within the current admissions and financial-aid systems—rather than remaking them entirely—would likely run afoul of federal laws. College leaders, for instance, find themselves in a tricky position when it comes to "merit aid" scholarships that some schools give out. For instance, Grinnell College, a selective liberal-arts school in Iowa, uses merit aid as a tool for recruiting students who might otherwise turn them down—in practice, the scholarships are small discounts for wealthier students who end up paying less than full tuition.
But these scholarships serve another purpose, too: Grinnell, like other selective colleges, is trying to increase the number of low-income students on campus. This year, the college estimates 26 percent of its incoming class will be eligible for Pell Grants, which mostly go to students from families making less than $40,000 annually. But Pell Grants don't come close to covering the cost of tuition, so to make up some of the difference, Grinnell sets aside 10 percent of its financial-aid budget for merit aid to lure students who can afford to pay a lot more.
Many of Grinnell's higher-ranked competitors have sworn off such merit aid—on the grounds that it helps families who can already afford college—but schools right below Grinnell in the rankings offer such discounts. So Grinnell officials maintain that if they abandoned merit aid, they would also likely give up the tuition dollars of those students who would follow the money and attend lower-ranked colleges that offer discounts.
"The way to end this arms race is for institutions to spend less on merit-based aid and amenities and use that money on need-based aid," said Hill, the former Vassar president. If such an approach were widely embraced, Hill believes it could result in greater economic diversity on campuses: There'd be more money to devote to low-income students. And affluent students wouldn't be as tempted by money in making their college choice.
But Grinnell and other institutions that use merit aid as bait for affluent students would only stop if they knew their competitors would too. And that would require them to cooperate in ways prohibited by antitrust laws. "One effect of antitrust laws is that colleges in a weaker market position pursue strategies to generate revenue but that ultimately drive up prices across the board," said Joseph Bagnoli Jr., the vice president for enrollment and dean of admission and financial aid at Grinnell College in Iowa. Those "strategies" he's referring to are things like merit aid, or spending on amenities that competitors have on their campus, such as new dormitories and recreation centers. These amenities tend to siphon away money that could theoretically be put toward financial aid instead.
There is, as well, a subtler, more philosophical argument for exempting colleges from antitrust law. "If universities are getting federal funds, they shouldn't be allowed to shroud in secrecy the process for determining who gets admitted," said Jon Boeckenstedt, the associate vice president for enrollment management and marketing at DePaul University, in Chicago.
Antitrust law exists to protect consumers—in the case of higher education, it's what prevents colleges from colluding on setting tuition costs. But, beyond Major League Baseball, few entities in the United States operate with the kind of freedoms from antitrust laws that higher education would need to truly reform the admissions and financial-aid process.
Recently, the association in Washington, D.C., that represents private colleges requested a five-year exemption from antitrust laws for its member schools. Its reasoning goes that if schools were allowed to cooperate, they could build new tuition pricing models together. They could also share information on applicants they have in common and the financial-aid packages they're offering them, which might end, or at least slow, the arms race of trying to provide more money than a competitor to every student regardless of need. A sense of reasonableness might return to the admissions process and at the same time slow the rapid rise of college tuition.
The Justice Department does not appear interested in granting this request. Instead, the department has for years been bringing more scrutiny to colleges' practices, rather than becoming more permissive. Inside Higher Ed reported earlier this month on a federal investigation of colleges—this one related to the practices of early-decision admissions—and it was the latest of several. The Justice Department in 2017 launched an inquiry into alleged discrimination against high-achieving Asian American college applicants, as well as an antitrust probe of the ethics code of the trade association that represents high-school counselors and college-admissions deans.
An earlier incident, in 2013, presaged this. In January of that year, presidents of several hundred small, private colleges gathered for the Council of Independent Colleges annual winter meeting in Palm Harbor, Florida. Among the sessions was one on how schools should end bidding wars for students and curtail the use of generous merit-aid packages.
The discussion caught the attention of the U.S. Justice Department. Five months later, lawyers for the department wrote a letter to a handful of college presidents who were at the meeting, warning them that agreements to "restrict tuition discounting" might violate antitrust laws and instructed them to preserve information related to the session. (That investigation is now closed.)
The inquiry that was first reported on this month pertains to early decision, an arrangement under which applicants commit to attending a school if accepted and agree not to apply via regular decision elsewhere. The percentage of the incoming class accepted through early decision at selective colleges has risen rapidly in the last decade now accounts for about half the class on some campuses.
Colleges are leaning more on early decision for two reasons. One, as more students apply, colleges have a difficult time predicting how many of them will actually show up. Early decision reduces that uncertainty. Second, students who apply early decision clearly want to enroll, and they often come from higher-income families. As a result, they demand less financial assistance, and that gives colleges the financial security to spend a bit more freely on the much larger pool of applicants in the regular-admissions round.
Some schools share information like this because they want to make certain their early admits are not in admissions pools elsewhere. The Justice Department, as part of its latest inquiry, wants to know if schools make admissions decisions based on what other schools have done with an applicant.
Colleges and universities have been at this crisis point before. Until the 1990s, the Ivy League colleges and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology set financial-aid awards jointly, so students could choose colleges based on factors other than cost. The practice, however, ended after the Justice Department accused the participating schools of price-fixing. College admissions have changed drastically in the intervening years, but the department's thinking on the subject has—probably for the worse—remained the same.

Dianabol is one of the most popular steroids marketed widely all over the world. Dbol as it is commonly known is taken by body builders and boxers for its quality enhancing muscle mass lessening the fat content. This bulking steroid came into market around late 50s. The introduction of the steroid helped numerous fitness seekers to have toned muscles in easier and safe way. They no longer need to depend only upon healthy supplements and spend months doing strenuous physical exercises.
Mostly Dianabol is used while in the starting stage of thesteroid cycle. Thus, it is quite popular among individuals who are just entering in the world of steroids. Seasonal steroid users often combine this anabolic drug with other powerful drug to endure more effectiveness in a short period of time.
The steroid is available in pills, powder and in liquid solution form, the most preferable among the kinds of doses is the solution taken through injections. The reason may be because users of steroids find it more effective compared to rest of the forms and the dosage are easily manageable to be taken in the right proportion.
The active element in Dianabol is Methandrostenolone. It has the ability to increase muscle mass and its strength in just few weeks of inducing in the human body. Mostly it has been observed that Dianabol has both the properties of anabolic and androgenic steroids. Its anabolic quality aids to increase nitrogen retention which is quite essential in enhancing muscle mass.
It even helps in overall health fitness and boosting protein level in the human body. Users of the steroid have reported that they feel focused and fit even after doing vigorous physical work. The retaining protein in the body helps to keep mental strain away and your stress will also be reduced. This happens because of the process of metabolic functions working in proper way while taking the steroid in the right prescribed proportion.
Similar to other steroids Dianabol has its own drawbacks, which may result in failure of health. Research shows that D- bol steroid may cause illness if not used in the prescribed proportion and the dosage is taken for longer period of time. Thus, the need to take it in the right proportion as advised by well experienced medical advisor will be beneficial. Having inferior quality pills of this steroid will surely lead to many negative health issues. If you want to buy real D-bol pills contact reliable sources.

Suzanne Lacy: We Are Here
edited by Rudolf Frieling, Lucia Sanroman, Dominic Willsdon. Prestel. Hardcover, 268 pages. $50
Lauren O'Neill-Butler
"I still believe in the power of words to change culture." That's Lin Farley, a writer and former reporter, who coined the term sexual harassment in 1975. Farley was teaching at Cornell University at the time and, after conducting feminist consciousness-raising sessions with students, discovered that every young woman in the group had been fired or forced out of a job after rejecting the sexual advances of a male boss. Eleanor Holmes Norton, then the head of the New York City Commission on Human Rights, invited Farley to a hearing on women in the workplace. Farley used the phrase, the New York Times printed it, "and thus a concept was born," as she recently wrote in an op-ed. In 1986, the Supreme Court made sexual harassment illegal as a form of discrimination. As we know, the term (and the laws) never quite changed the culture. Nevertheless, she persisted.
Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz, In Mourning and in Rage, 1977. Performance view, City Hall, Los Angeles, December 13, 1977.
Around the same time as Farley's testimony, the art of social engagement—what's now called "social practice"—was emerging. One of its leading lights, the California-based artist Suzanne Lacy, developed her own style of persistence: an art in which people would be the subjects and ephemeral conversation the medium. (She eventually called it "new genre public art.") Along with a rotating team of collaborators, Lacy began to incorporate the inclusive process of collective consciousness-raising directly into events, long before it became commonplace to do so. For one early work, Lacy and co. asked people to talk about their experiences of rape and other kinds of torture; for another, the conversation was all about survival. Lacy hasn't stopped since.
Putting together a retrospective of the artist's abundant output is a daunting task, as the remnants from her numerous pieces—images, text, her own critical writing—often fail to capture the breadth and depth of what transpired. The sweeping catalogue accompanying the two-part show at SFMoMA and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is a complement to that difficult labor. Edited by the curators, it also features their essays and nearly two hundred pages of an illustrated survey with some four hundred archival images from eighty-four works, all broken down into seven categories (Bodies, Personas, Violence Against Women, Networks, Image and Dialogue, Youth, and Work and Class). But my favorite part comes near the end, with a long list of Lacy's consciousness-raising "collaborators, participants, and associates." They too believe in the power of words, and images, to change culture.

Gold prices have been drifting lower after responding to technical resistance last week and while the decline highlights the threat for further near-term losses, the broader outlook remains constructive. These are the updated targets and invalidation levels that matter on the XAU/USD charts.
Technical Outlook: In my latest Gold Weekly Technical Outlook we note that the breakout had reached initial resistance at the 78.6% retracement of the 2018 range at 1322 with the, "immediate advance vulnerable near-term. From a trading standpoint, a good place to reduce long-exposure / raise protective stops and look for the pullback." Note that the February open and channel resistance of the November slope also converge around this threshold and further highlight the technical significance of this range. Price briefly registered a high at 1326 before reversing late-last week and the risk for a deeper pullback remains while below the monthly open.
Notes: A closer look at price action shows gold trading within the confines of a descending channel formation extending off the January high with price testing slope resistance today in New York. The weekly opening-range remains intact and we'll be looking for the break for guidance with the risk lower while below 1322. Initials support rests at 1307 backed by 1302 and the 61.8% retracement at 1295- both levels of interest for possible exhaustion / long-entries IF reached.
Initial resistance stands with the weekly open with a breach above 1322 needed to mark resumption of the broader uptrend targeting subsequent resistance objectives at the upper parallel (currently ~1330s) backed by the 88.6% retracement at 1342 and the 2018 high-day close at 1348.
Bottom line: The immediate gold advance remains vulnerable while below broader slope resistance and keeps the near-term risk lower in price. From a trading standpoint, look for a deeper pullback to offer more favorable long-entries while within the broader November ascending formation - ultimately targeting a breach higher. Keep in mind price is just now setting the February (and weekly) opening-range – stay nimble until we get some further clarity on price.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Gold prices may continue to fall. Traders are more net-long than yesterday but less net-long from last week and the combination of current positioning and recent changes gives us a further mixed Gold trading bias from a sentiment standpoint.

Robert William Flay (Nueva York, 10 de diciembre de 1964) es un chef, dueño de restaurantes y celebridad estadounidense que ha aparecido en muchos reality shows, sobre todo de la cadena Food Network, de la que es una de sus estrellas. También ha aparecido en la serie de televisión Great Chefs.

Es propietario y chef ejecutivo de varios restaurantes en Estados Unidos: Mesa Grill en Las Vegas, Bar Americain en Nueva York y en el casino Mohegan Sun en Connecticut, Bobby Flay Steak en Atlantic City, Gato en Nueva York y de la cadena de restaurantes Bobby's Burger Palace, extendida por la costa este del país.

Primeros años y formación
Desde temprana edad Flay mostró talento para la cocina, llegando a pedir un horno Easy-Bake  como regalo de Navidad a los 8 años, esto con la desaprobación de su padre, quien consideraba que lo que el pequeño Bobby necesitaba era un G.I. Joe. Flay al final obtuvo ambos regalos.

Flay se interesó poco en la escuela y estuvo en varias escuelas parroquiales hasta que abandonó sus estudios a los 17 años. Poco después trabajó en Baskin Robbins y en una pizzería. En 1982 su padre, gerente del famoso restaurante Joe Allen's en el Distrito de Teatros de Nueva York, le mandó a trabajar como ayudante de camarero en remplazo de un empleado enfermo. Su cargo se volvió permanente, y luego pasó a ser asistente de cocina. Su jefe, impresionado por sus habilidades, pagó sus estudios en el Instituto Culinario Francés en Manhattan, al que Flay asistió después de obtener su diploma de equivalencia de secundaria. Flay fue parte de la primera generación de graduados de la institución en 1984.

Luego de un breve tiempo como asistente de corredor de bolsa en Wall Street, Flay trabajó en una serie de restaurantes de Nueva York, entre los más notables aquellos del dueño de restaurantes Jonathan Waxman. Fue este quien introdujo a Flay en la cocina del suroeste de Estados Unidos —región que Flay nunca había visitado—, la cual se volvió más tarde la insignia de Flay. De 1988 a 1990 Flay trabajó como chef ejecutivo en el Miracle Grill, donde ganaron fama sus coloridos sabores sudoccidentales.

Dueño de restaurantes

Su fama en el Miracle Grill, hizo que el dueño de restaurantes Jerome Kretchmer le ofreciera abrir su primer restaurante. El 15 de enero de 1991,  abrieron Mesa Grill, el cual ganó reconocimiento inmediato. El restaurante fue galardonado con el codiciado título de Mejor Restaurante en 1992 por el venerado crítico gastronómico de la revista New York, Gael Greene. En noviembre de 1993 se asoció con Laurence Kretchmer para abrir Bolo Bar and Restaurant, a unas cuantas calles de Mesa Grill, en el distrito Flatiron de Nueva York, que también resultó ser muy popular entre críticos y comensales. Este nuevo restaurante fue galardonado con dos estrellas por The New York Times en 1994. En 2004 abrió un segundo Mesa Grill en el Caesar's Palace de Las Vegas, al cual le siguieron el bistró Bar Americain en 2005, Bobby Flay Steak en Atlantic City en 2006, Mesa Grill Bahamas en 2007 y un segundo Bar Americain en el casino Mohegan Sun de Connecticut en 2009.

En 2008 abrió el primer local de hamburguesas, Bobby's Burger Palace, que se ha convertido en una cadena de restaurantes extendida por la costa este y que cuenta actualmente con 11 ubicaciones en 9 estados.

Celebridad mediática

En 1994 Flay hizo su primera aparición en Food Network y pronto se convirtió en una presencia habitual con el respaldo de los famosos chefs Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse y Rachael Ray. Llegó a convertirse en una de las estrellas de la cadena y así, en uno de los chefs más conocidos de Estados Unidos.

En 2015, se anunció que la pareja se había separado y que Flay había solicitado el divorcio en marzo, el cual concluyó en julio. El 11 de febrero de 2017, Flay y Heléne Yorke anunciaron por Instagram su primer aniversario como novios. En septiembre de 2019 se supo que la pareja ya no salía.

Q: FFMPEG: NOT adding watermark to video I diligently followed
FFMPEG: how to add watermark to video?
FFmpeg watermark
but under linux (ubuntu 13.04 64bit) the command to WATERMARK

*

*video file stream

*a png watermark

seems NOT to work anymore.
Even more strangely, the errors reported from ffmpeg and avconv are different (see codes, vesion and errors below)
But syntax seems correct to me.
Any Idea ?
Please note that the -filter_complex (no more available) has been replaced in snipped with -vf

Any idea on which changes could be happened in ffmpeg overlay commands ?
More strangely, the code that seems to FIX the problem is completely different:
ffmpeg -i ariel.mov   -vf "movie=logostilo7.png [logo]; [in][logo] overlay=10:main_h-overlay_h-10 [out]" out.mov

Does it mean that the "OLD" fashioned way of watermarking is over ?

A: Your ffmpeg is not the "real" one from FFmpeg, but a pretty outdated and misnamed one from the Ubuntu repositories. It has countless unfixed bugs, and does not support as many features as ffmpeg versions 1.0 (perhaps even 0.9) and above do.
So, -filter_complex has not been removed—quite the contrary: your build doesn't have it. You need the filter_complex option for filter graphs with multiple inputs and outputs.
Also, -vf is a shorthand for -filter:v. If your version does not recognize -filter:v, it's also too old.
Download a recent static build, or compile ffmpeg yourself. Then, the examples you saw in the other questions should be working fine. You can find static builds for all major operating systems on the download page and compilation guides here, including specific guides for Ubuntu.

Victoria's Secret CEO Resigns, With L Brands' Chief Taking Reins
Sharen Jester Turney, who has run Victoria's Secret for the past decade, is stepping down from the L Brands Inc. division, leaving chief executive officer Les Wexner directly in charge of his company's biggest business.
NEW YORK, United States — Sharen Jester Turney, who has run Victoria's Secret for the past decade, is stepping down from the L Brands Inc. division, leaving Chief Executive Officer Les Wexner directly in charge of his company's biggest business.
Turney, who became CEO of the lingerie chain in 2006, will remain an adviser to the division while Wexner assumes leadership, L Brands said in a statement Friday. The 59-year-old said she is leaving the Columbus, Ohio-based company "to prioritize my family and my personal life and consider what's next for me professionally."
The shake-up raises questions for L Brands, which gets almost two-thirds of its revenue from Victoria's Secret. As head of the company's largest division, Turney was seen as a possible successor to Wexner, a billionaire who turns 79 this year. L Brands' shares tumbled as much as 5.5 percent to $79.35 after the announcement.
"We have strong confidence in the strength of the brand and our growth opportunities, and I look forward to taking on a more active role and working with the talented leadership team at Victoria's Secret," Wexner said in the statement.

►TAURUS: You like to please yourself and enjoy small illicit passions. When you're in a relationship, you are very dedicated and want a man who is devoted to romance and passion. However, the most important thing is that he is independent and has his own opinion.
►GEMINI: Gemini love to try new things and they are very social. You are always looking for a man who says what he means and doesn't hesitate much. Of course, it won't hurt if he's playful and humorous.
►CANCER: Women Cancers always want what is best for the partner in a relationship, but that does not mean that someone can take advantage of them. You are looking for a man who is just like you. Someone who is honest, open, and can be as good alone just as in a relationship.
►LEO: To Leos, it's all about loyalty and motivation. If a man does not have these qualities, the relationship will quickly fall apart. That's why they need a man who is generous and knows how to flirt.
►VIRGO: You are a very thoughtful and mysterious person and you don't open easily to others. This trait makes it difficult for your to have new relationships and therefore you need a man who will have enough patience, and also support for your choices.

Remember that 9/11 was the most effective military op, ever
By Larry Kummer, Editor / 15 Comments / 11 September 2017 23 September 2017
Summary: Sixteen years later, with thousands of our troops dead in futile wars, few understand what happened on 9/11/01. It was a dagger at our minds, as are all effective 4GW ops. With a single strike al Qaeda changed America, the most powerful nation that the world has ever seen. Never before have so few changed so many with so little effort. We have crippled al Qaeda. But its leaders saw al Qaeda as the vanguard of the jihadist movement, not its body — and hence as expendable. Since 9/11 the jihadist movement has grown across the world, with no end in sight.
In previous eras decisive battles occurred where thousands fought to determine the fate of nations. 9/11 was a decisive battle of fourth generation warfare, as nineteen men with box cutters attacked our minds — exploiting our weakness and cowardliness to change the course of America. The multiple of force to effect is the greatest in history. Far greater than the nuking of Japan. Al Qaeda succeed not because of what they did — planes crash, buildings burn, life goes on — but because of what we did afterwards. As RJH said in the comments: "The purpose of an action is the reaction."
Our foreign adventures helped set the Middle East aflame, as we invaded Afghanistan (because of the big lie) and Iraq (more lies), joined the Saudi's war in Yemen, and helped destabilize other nations (e.g., Libya, Syria). Civil wars still burn in the nations we invaded and occupied and bombed. The more virulent and extreme Islamic State has replaced Al Qaeda. As we destroy that, a new and more virulent Jihadist 3.0 probably will arise somewhere.
At home the cancerous growth of the secret security services eroded away our civil rights (see this ACLU study) and altered our society in ways the Founders would consider abhorrent.
Obama institutionalized Bush Jr.'s policies, foreign and domestic, making them bipartisan policies — and so almost impossible to change. In 2016 Clinton proposed no reforms and continued her cheerleading for the War On Terror. Trump has made no reforms and expanded the war. No amount of national power can overcome failure to learn. We are like France during the Hundred Years War. Despite defeat in three great battles — Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt – the French couldn't adapt to the new era of war. This might end badly for us.
"People, ideas and hardware, in that order!"
— Said by the late John R. Boyd (Colonel, USAF), quoted in Chet Richard's Certain to Win
. Al Qaeda applied this insight on 9/11. People willing to die to accomplish a brilliantly conceived mission — using our own hardware.

Look not at 9-11 but forward, to see what we have become.
"We were attacked on 9/11 by a group of Saudis, Emiratis, and a Lebanese, led by an Egyptian. Which is why we're at war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen."
— From DuffelBlog, one of America's few reliable source of insight.
Ahead of the pack (as usual) in seeing this, in 2008 Tom Engelhardt discussed al Qaeda's triumph in this excerpt from "Kiss American Security Goodbye: 15 Numbers That Add Up to an Age of Insecurity.
"The principle behind Tai Chi stayed with me — that you could multiply the force of an act by giving way before the force of others; that a smaller person could use the strength of a bigger one against him.
"Now, jump to September 11, 2001 and its aftermath — and you know the Tai Chi version of history from there. Think of it as a grim cosmic joke — that the 9/11 attacks, as apocalyptic as they looked, were anything but. The true disasters followed and the wounds were largely self-inflicted, as the most militarily powerful nation on the planet used its own force to disable itself.
"Before that fateful day, the Bush administration had considered terrorism, Osama bin Laden, and al-Qaeda subjects for suckers and wusses. What they were intent on was pouring money into developing an elaborate boondoggle of a missile defense system against future nuclear attacks by rogue states. Those Cold War high frontiersmen (and women) couldn't get enough of the idea of missiling up. That, after all, was where the money and the fun seemed to be. Nuclear was where the big boys — the nation states — played. 'Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S. …,' the CIA told the President that August. Yawn.
"After 9/11, of course, George W. Bush and his top advisors almost instantly launched their crusade against Islam and then their various wars, all under the rubric of the Global War on Terror. (As Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld pungently put the matter that September, 'We have a choice — either to change the way we live, which is unacceptable, or to change the way that they live; and we chose the latter.')
"By then, they were already heading out to "drain the swamp" of evil doers, 60 countries worth of them, if necessary. Meanwhile, they moved quickly to fight the last battle at home, the one just over, by squandering vast sums on an American Maginot Line of security. The porous new Department of Homeland Security, the NSA, the FBI, and other acronymic agencies were to lock down, surveil, and listen in on America. All this to prevent 'the next 9/11.'
"In the process, they would treat bin Laden's scattered al-Qaeda network as if it were the Nazi or Soviet war machine (even comically dubbing his followers "Islamofascists"). In the blinking of an eye, and in the rubble of two enormous buildings in downtown Manhattan, bin Laden and his cronies had morphed from nobodies into supermen, a veritable Legion of Doom.
(There was a curious parallel to this transformation in World War II. Before Pearl Harbor, American experts had considered the Japanese — as historian John Dower so vividly documented in his book War Without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War
— bucktoothed, near-sighted military incompetents whose war planes were barely capable of flight. On December 8, 1941, they suddenly became a race of invincible supermen without, in the American imagination, ever passing through a human incarnation.)
"When, in October 2001, Congress passed the Patriot Act, and an Office of Homeland Security (which, in 2002, became a "department") was established, it was welcome to the era of homeland insecurity. From then on, every major building, landmark, amusement park, petting zoo, flea market, popcorn stand, and toll booth anywhere in the country would be touted as a potential target for terrorists and in need of protection. Every police department from Arkansas to Ohio would be in desperate need of anti-terror funding. And why not, when the terrorists loomed so monstrously large, were so apocalyptically capable, and wanted so very badly to destroy our way of life?"
We bound ourselves on 9/11, but can break free.
9/11 put America on a dark path. None can see its end. But we still control our destiny and can step off this path. We need only open our eyes to see through the propaganda that clouds our eyes. The machinery bequeathed to us by the Founders remains idle but potentially decisive. It requires only our will and effort to empower it.

Bill Occam (@drbilloccam)
Hi FM,
Spot on, of course. I hope you don't get a bunch of hate mail and comments for noticing what should be obvious. The thing that makes me scream is the near universal assertion by the so-called "DC establishment" people like BHO, HRC, wonder-twins Graham and McCain, now POTUS and his merry band of generals who have never won a war (because they're not winnable without terrible butchery we neither could nor should ever stomach) and hundreds of others call Afghanistan "the right war" because they gave safe harbor to "the terrorists". Well, so did Hamburg and South Florida where some of those guys drank, partied, and went to flight school.
The economy and restraint of the operation contributed to its effectiveness. It was targeted and symbolic, not mere mayhem. Although it killed a lot of people, this was not a body count operation. Al Qaeda didn't begin a campaign of terrorist operations in the US not because they couldn't, it's because they knew we would do it to ourselves. They were right. The last time I met someone at the airport gate was 1998. I heard that Pittsburgh airport now allows that, but you have to go through security, etc., as if you're a traveler. But that's less a return to sanity and more of a how can we get our concessions more cash.
It's sad to simply notice that this event completely transformed the US and the wider world irrevocably for the worse in a brilliant masterstroke that cost a few hundred thousand dollars and 19 lives (on their side) which inflicted thousands of deaths, a recalibration of society which includes the collective loss of some element of sanity and emotional resilience, and trillions and trillions of dollars spent toward unproductive ends can get people calling you a traitor among other epithets.
Still, I do share your optimism that there is a core of resilience left in America. I think you wrote somewhere about America's loss of "collective reasoning" maybe after WWII. It aligns well with some ideas that Jonathan Haidt has about individual reasoning is generally very poor, so we need to make collective reasoning systems that do better (e.g., science and scientific institutions, deliberative legislative processes, judicial review, etc.). I guess that's part of the great task before us.
More time refining our flawed, but improvable, society; less time blowing up other societies. When you fight ideas with bullets and bombs, you lose.

Nicely said. 9/11 shows that the most powerful weapon is the human mind. 9/11's strength was in its conception, aimed at our spiritual weakness.

Fabius & Dr. Bill;
Absolutely spot on! I've been corrected and converted.
Beginning with William S. Lind and you, Larry, I've become educated.
Reading the post brought John Boyd's maxim to mind, "People, Ideas and Technology in that order". Al Queda proved it, didn't they?
Islam is a mighty force. That, I have known for a long time. I learned as a Roman Catholic boy of 6 dining as a guest at a banquet hosted by a Sheikh. We were about to eat and I said, "shouldn't we say grace first?". They all stopped and allowed me to do so. How gracious!
Shalom, Salaam, Peace.
Loved your Tai Chi analogy! I pray for that American core of resilience.
Longtrail,
Thank's for the reminder about Boyd's quote. I'll add that to the post.
Also — it's Tom Engelhard's Tai Chi analogy!

Thanks for the excellent article. I would appreciate your thoughts on the below article and/or where to go for followup. "What 9/11 Did To America And the World" by Ian Welsh, 11 Sept 2017.
I wish I could disagree with Welsh's analysis. But he is a smart guy, and his article is little but a list of facts. Unpleasant facts, but facts nonetheless.
The French won the Hundred Years' War. They won all the battles that mattered: the last ones.
Froideterre,
"They won all the battles that mattered: the last ones."
First, that is only sort of true. The French won the Hundred Years war due to a timely disease. By the Treaty of Troyes, Henry V was the heir to the French crown of the sickly King Charles VI of France. But Henry V died in 1422 at age 36 of dysentery, two months before Charles VI. As part of his victory over France, in 1420 Henry V married Catherine of Valois, daughter of Charles VI. But their infant son (Henry VI, born 1422) could rule neither France nor England — allowing a French resurgence amidst disarray in England.
Second, that is a common saying – but quite daft. The French defeats during most of the Hundred Years War caused its people immense suffering for several generations. Blowing that off because of a win in the next century is callous in the extreme. Defeat has ill consequences in the here and now.

I sometimes wonder whether we would not be better off if we had required every adult to purchase and train with firearms and then simply tell the terrorist to attack if you wish rather than handing over so much of our freedoms to a government which will never return them to us without a battle. I have no delusions regarding the deaths among the American citizenry such actions would produce yet I cannot help but wonder whether those of us who survived might cause this nation to be even stronger than anyone could imagine.
crowccane,
"I sometimes wonder whether we would not be better off if we had required every adult to purchase and train with firearms"
That would have been a great social science experiment, using America as guinea pigs! Of course, it risks spiking our already insane levels of homicide mortality. But the deaths would be done by "us", not "them."
And all those gun-toting bold Americans could be as easily blown up as people in well-run nations. So the gain would — at best — be small, and the cost in lives might be large. But the benefit to social science would be historic. Think of the other experiments we could do on America for Science!
I believe that a majority of the increased homicide rate would be composed of criminals and then we would see a marked decline as everyone would learn to be much more polite to each other. But both of our ideas are mere conjecture as there isn't any real world data to base either upon. Any experiment conducted by a city or state has never taken place in relative isolation.
We should have had sufficient tools already in place to prevent other nations from blowing us up shouldn't we? I mean haven't our intelligence agencies already been given all of the freedom to spy on and investigate outside nations and groups and if they found sufficient reasons our courts have been willing to give them permission to investigate people within our borders ? I try to educate myself but I will be the first to admit that there are most likely gaps in both my knowledge and my understanding.
crowcane,
"I believe that a majority of the increased homicide rate would be composed of criminals"
Evidence shows that almost certainly the vast majority of the increased homicides would be suicides, accidents, and murders (of various sorts). The number of terrorists killed would be microscopic. The number of terrorist incidents prevented would be smaller than microscopic.
Evidence? Please tell me which nation which has implemented such a program in the past that allows you to draw upon their experiences for such evidence.
Because that is the majority of gun deaths today. Why would increasing the availability of guns drastically change the nature of the resulting deaths?
