5 Can't-Miss Spots for Korean Food in Denver
Colin Wrenn July 19, 2017 Food + Booze
All Photography by Alden Bonecutter and Colin Wrenn.
Masters of spice and fermentation, Koreans have a rich culinary history that favors the bold and downright funky. Omnipresent kimchi, tantalizing barbecue, soju, fish cakes and steaming cauldrons of stews are but a few of the mainstays of the vibrant and loud tradition. The food has a celebratory feel — much of Korean dining is done in groups. On-table grilling will leave your clothes smelling, plentiful pours of soju will invigorate the night — the flamboyant food mirroring the festive nature of the occasion.
For Western audiences, the spotlight has landed firmly and thus far remained on Korean barbecue. While there is certainly nothing wrong with this, to miss out on the other goods would be a shame. Fortunately, Denver's thriving Korean population has brought with them a wide variety of outstanding bites from across the spectrum. Below are five locations serving Korean dishes both well-loved and unfamiliar. And if you're looking for one more, make sure to read up on our feature of Tofu House.
Dae Gee

Where: Dae Gee has three locations — 827 Colorado Blvd., Denver, 460 Broadway, Denver and 7570 Sheridan Blvd., Arvada.
Hours: Each location is open every day from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
The Lowdown: For unfettered feasting and an easy introduction to the cuisine, Dae Gee is a good place to start. The casual-yet-dapper ambiance, young staff and a menu — complete with thorough descriptions and icons warning of spice and gluten — all cater to a rookie audience. The food is far from simple, though. A thorough list of traditional dishes including bee bim bop (rice bowls), kimchi cheegae (a kimchi soup) and zucchini pancakes can all satisfy seasoned palates — as do the three house-made sauces that line each table.
Most people are here for the barbecue — and rightly so. The all-you-can-eat ($16 for lunch and $22 for dinner) is one of the best in town. Unending brisket, thinly-sliced pork belly, beef, pork and chicken bulgogi and the one-per-meal beef short rib arrive raw with scissors and a set of tongs — diners cook the pile on a ridged grill in the center of the table. An unceasing procession of sides — including kimchi, pickled radish, broccoli, fermented cucumber and fish cakes — bring the debauch to even greater heights.
To wash it all down, Dae Gee has an extensive drink list complete with soju, sake, Korean and American wine, cocktails and beer. Most notable is its collaborative effort with Upslope Brewery. The three aptly named brews — Mr. Pig Shot brown ale, Piggie Smalls IPA ($6) and Notorious P.I.G. imperial IPA ($7) — are apparently the result of some nefarious debt owed to Dae Gee's owner (or so we were told). The beers were clearly designed to pair with the food — unlike many brown ales the Mr. Pig Shot lacks sweetness, making it a perfect accompaniment to the spice and sugar of the barbecue. Eat, drink and be merry — just be careful not to order more than you can eat.
Olleh Korean Restaurant

Where: Olleh Korean Restaurant is located at 2648 S. Parker Rd., Aurora.
Hours: It is open every day except Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
The Lowdown: Unlike most restaurants in Denver, when you type Olleh into Google maps there will be no results. Located in an Aurora strip mall, the restaurant has no English signage, making it easy to confuse with the more clearly labeled Dae Bak Korean Bar and Grill next door. The interior is small and cluttered, Korean On Demand plays on a television behind the counter. The place feels like Seoul.
Olleh is as legitimate as it gets — the kimchi has all the satisfying funk missing from the more westernized joints and the food's spice level is a few notches higher. The menu is only 10 items — four noodle dishes, three snacks and three soups — all around $10, all excellent. The ox head soup ($8.99) is a rich bone-broth prepared for roughly two days with a plentiful helping of noodles and decadent ox head meat. Served with spicy green peppers, smokey red chili paste and an unruly abundance of mild green onions, the impressive dish is worth it even amidst the summer heat. The kim-bap ($6.99) is rice, vegetables, fish cake, crab and egg wrapped in seaweed. Very similar to a sushi roll, the plate is served without soy sauce, allowing the mild flavors to entice in their own right. With no barbecue in sight and a simple, straightforward menu, Olleh is the perfect way to experience the types of bites found on nearly every street corner of the Korean capital.
Funny Plus

Where: Funny Plus is located at 2779 S. Parker Rd., Aurora.
Hours: It is open Monday – Thursday 4 p.m. – 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday 4 p.m. – 2 a.m. and Sunday 4 p.m. – 12 a.m.
The Lowdown: Funny Plus is another strip mall joint within walking distance from Olleh, and if you can't read Hangul (the Korean alphabet) it is equally hard to find. But find it you should. Boasting a wide menu of classics including barbecue, bulgogi and heaping pots of stew designed to serve three, the list of options is formidable indeed. However, it is the fried chicken that steals the show. There are several options, but half and half ($14.99) is the most popular. A tremendous pile of drumsticks and breast-meat arrives half covered in delicious spicy-sweet sauce, the other half is left bare to shine in all its crispy glory. The sauce is magnificent, but experiencing the delicate golden crust on its own is a lesson in luxury. The portion is enormous and can easily be shared on its own or as part of a larger meal.
Seoul BBQ

Where: Seoul BBQ has two locations — 311 W. 104th Ave., Northglenn and 2080 S. Havana St., Aurora.
Hours: It is open every day from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
The Lowdown: Seoul BBQ is an institution. Boasting a truly extensive menu of more than 80 items, this traditional barbecue joint will satisfy whether you choose to grill or not. Several enormous specials serving three ($89.99), four ($109.99) or five ($129.99) supply so much food it can be daunting to tackle. Cold noodles, fried and grilled fish, soups incorporating a variety of animal parts and an endless array of sides join the plethora of grilled meats — all of this just a press on the call-button away. If you're going traditional, you should order a bottle of soju ($10.95) to be shared over the course of the meal.
The dolsut bibim-bap ($12.99) is steamed rice, an assortment of stir-fried vegetables and shredded beef served in a hot vessel. The heat from the bowl continues to cook the rice to crispy perfection over the course of the meal. They also have bibim-bap ($10.99) — same dish as the dolsut, but here served cold. The kimchi fried rice ($9.99) is exactly what it sounds to be, though Seoul's goes surprisingly light on the cabbage — the tanginess an afterthought against the salty flavors of the rice and fried egg.
Last year Seoul's owners opened up Seoul Catering next door. Fridges full of salt-fermented baby octopus, seaweed salad, seasoned cucumber, steamed pigs feet, Korean sausage and an array of other delicacies are joined by tables full of sweets from the nearby Yum Yum Cakes and Pastries. There is even an entire fridge full of various kimchis made from an assortment of vegetables. The food is freshly packaged and magnificent for those who are trying their hand at cooking the cuisine at home.
Yum Yum Cakes & Pastries
Where: Yum Yum Cakes & Pastries is located at 2680 S. Havana St., Aurora.
Hours: It is open Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
The Lowdown: Considering the bounty of Korean cuisine at large, it should come as no surprise that the dessert is fantastic. Yum Yum cakes and pastries is a lovely spot to stock up on pastries, macarons and cakes from the East Asian state. The red bean and Bavarian cream bun ($1.75) combines dessert traditions both East and West for a result that will be comfortingly familiar to local diners while the red bean adds just enough unconventional flavor to differentiate it from an American or European pastry. The ambiance is nice — two giant teddy bears lay claim to seats at one of the tables, making the place a pleasant hangout for kids. To wash it all down ita also serves boba, coffee and tea.

Home GearTennis Racquets Can you use a classical racquet today?
Can you use a classical racquet today?
by TN October 4, 2021
written by TN October 4, 2021
In light of my recent racquets for beginners post and video, I wanted to defend old-school racquets. Can you use a classical racquet today?
I've been a fan of older racquets for a long time. My fascination with how different racquets affects your tennis is one of the reasons I started Tennisnerd many years ago. But tennis is getting faster and faster as a sport and it's becoming increasingly difficult on the higher levels of tennis to use low-powered racquets with small head sizes. You don't have enough power or margin for error to stay competitive. This is true for most players on a higher level, but that doesn't mean old-school racquets won't work on any level below the pro tour. So my answer to the question: "can you use a classical racquet today?" is an overwhelming YES!
I've created a video comparing the type of ball you're hitting with a classical racquet, such as my favorite the HEAD Pro Tour 2.0, the Wilson Blade 98 V8 or the new HEAD prototype tweener style racquet. Just hitting a few shots, will give you a completely different sensation and experience of power/control/spin/feel.
If we compare these three racquets, most players will instantly notice a vast difference in the type of ball each racquet produces and how it affects your swing, your confidence, and how you play tennis.
Starting with the classical racquet, the HEAD Pro Tour 2.0 (still for sale at Tennis Warehouse and still a bestseller, 30 years after its initial release). Playing with the HEAD Pro Tour, you will know exactly where the ball goes at all times. Playing well is all up to you, nothing comes for free, but the feeling of ultimate control is quite addictive. That's why I can't let go of this beautiful racquet.
The Wilson Blade 98 V8 16×19 is still a very controlled racquet compared to most "tweeners", but it does give you a bigger sweet spot, a little more pace and depth at the cost of a little less control compared to the HEAD Pro Tour. It lands in the middle of the three frames and that's a reason it's seen as a versatile frame that many players like.
At the other end of the spectrum (there are more powerful racquets, of course, but this is the most common type of modern racquet on the market) there is the HEAD Prototype tweener that will be HEAD's new "power line" of racquets. I have tested the MP model and it gives me a high launch angle and ball trajectory, good depth despite having to hit the ball particularly hard, but on the other hand, it's a little "wild" and difficult to control.
What racquet will work best for you? It depends on many variables. What's your playing style? Do you have any arm problems? What is your playing level? And most of all, what do you want from your racquet?
If you want help to achieve good depth on your shots as well as height over the net, the tweener style power racquet is the way to go. If you want a little bit of help, but can still produce good power/depth and play tennis on an intermediate to advanced level, the Blade 98 might be a good option for you.
The smallest target group of players is the ones wanting to use a racquet like the HEAD Pro Tour. It requires excellent footwork, a good swing speed, and the ability to create pace and depth with your technique. It's a demanding racquet and most players are probably doing themselves a disservice using such a difficult frame. But on the other hand, maybe you're not playing to maximize your competitive results, maybe you just like hitting the ball, getting good exercise, and prioritize the sensation of hitting a tennis ball, then a racquet like the HEAD Pro Tour might still work for you.
That's why it's good to get a good understanding of who you are as a player and what kind of racquet you enjoy the most. Remember that there are all kinds of racquets in between too.
Where are you on the spectrum of tennis racquets? What kind of racquet do you enjoy and what do you play your best tennis with?

Interesting article. I am glad somebody sticks up for classical racquets.
Personally I love being able to mix it up and choose the type of racquet that fits my energy level (or mood).
I usually start out with the Pro Tour 2.0.
But it's nice to also have a 'back up racquet' with more forgiveness, size and power to make my life easier when I get tired or when I'm a bit off my game.
For this I have a 100sq.in Babolat Pure Drive Plus (27.5 in. ) in my bag.
And when I want to go a little easier on the arm there's the Head Prestige Classic 600. Stting right next to it.
So old school classical and powerful modern together in one tennis bag.
Hans October 5, 2021 - 12:26
That's not a classical racquet! (modified pop cultural reference)
This is a classical racquet… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWzDyhn4MGs
Joking aside – The racquet discussions often revolve around finding the perfect stick. Since they all have pros and cons, the search continues indefinitely.
The solution is pretty obvious, (like Jason does).
It's allowed to own and play with multiple different racquets. (ask a golfer if he would be ok with just one club).
Just switch depending on scenario. You can switch racquets between serve and return games if you want.
Generally, it's easy to switch to and between, control oriented frames because they give you…. control.
Most of them feel good to everyone in some way. It's also unproblematic to switch to spin and power frames for practice because it's just fun launching the ball harder and deeper with less effort. The problems come when switching to power frames for match play. You start doubting yourself when you lose that precision.
Pete October 5, 2021 - 23:05
You should stick to new product announcements. You have a very limited skill as a tennis player. If you don't realize that by this point then I'm glad I'm telling you. Further, you have even less understanding I've had a train gifted tennis players. Stick with what you're good at.
TN October 6, 2021 - 14:52
I'm well aware that I'm not a great tennis player. I've said that in many videos. I'm writing about racquets here, which I'm pretty confident about, however, so not sure what you mean. I don't understand the sentence "Further you have even less understanding I've had a train gifted tennis players"…but I'm sure you needed to get something out of your system.
Brent October 6, 2021 - 02:51
Can classic rackets be used today at the pro level? Probably not, because unless a player can paint the lines like Fed, or hammer the ball like Delpo, it will be hard to compete.
Can classic rackets be used at the rec level? Of course! In fact, I would say my HPS 6.1 18×20, actually gives me an advantage over the sea of Babolat Pure-whatevers that most of my opponents are playing with. Very few of them have the rhs, footwork, or footspeed to actually take advantage of a light, 16×19 spin machine, meanwhile I can neutralize them and push them around the court without expending too much energy.
J October 6, 2021 - 11:24
@ Brent. Can Classic rackets be used at the Pro level?
Djokovic: 95sq inch basically 25 year old Head radical weighed up.
Murray: 95sq inch basically 27 year old Head PT630, with even higher swing weight.
Karatsev: 95sq inch basically 27 year old Head PT57. Popyrin and several others too.
Medvedev: 95sq inch Technifibre rework of his old Wilson 6.1 95.
Evans, Edmund, RBA, several others on a version of 20-30+ year old Wilson 6.1 95.
Nishikori: 20 year old alternative 95 that has received several releases under different paint jobs.
Shapovalov and Wawrinka both use reasonably weighty 95 frames, which are more modern interpretations of these frames.
Berretini: That's not a modern frame as such, that's a repainted Pro stock Microgel Extreme to my knowledge.
In 2023 even Tsitsipas' frame will be 10years old……
I agree with what you say regarding pushing around spin machine light racket folk, that's physics, Agassi commented on this once. However, heavier frames need more focus on timing.
In a recent match, a pretty decent early 20's player turned out for his club and was belting topspin, watching him play the other pair I thought, this will be interesting. And then I noticed, to my amazement that this young guy was using……a Wilson Pro Staff 85 (not known which version).
I don't know of any pro's using 85-90 frames these days. But very many, use heavy 95's.
Very good points J.
When I think "classic" rackets, I'm more thinking 1990s and earlier, since racket companies started pushing the lighter more open 98 sq in and up frames beginning at the turn on the millennium. We all know that racket technology advances are 99% marketing, so it's no surprise that guys have stuck with frames from the early 2000s, but I would still argue the majority of the tour, regardless of whether or not their frame is an old model under a PJ, is using this newer style of racket. I still would say the tour is trending in this direction as well, and smaller heads, closed string patterns and thin beams are starting to phase out.

Jonas from TennisNerd really creates very interesting content. Funny that someone even bothers to leave such a non contributing comment here that Jonas should "stick to what he knows". I know there are thousands of tennis players who really appreciate what TennisNerd is all about. Jonas clearly knows a lot about tennis and whether he plays like a professional or not, does not in any way affect the quality of the content on TennisNerd. The fact that Jonas is not a super high level pro, actually makes the site even more interesting. He is one of the very few who is kind of documenting his tennis journey and for the vast majority of tennis players, it is something we can relate to. Tennis can be enjoyed by virtually everyone, regardless of the playing level. I started playing at 41 years and find it very satisfying to each year make some improvements. I am not at Jonas level yet, but I find TennisNerd very inspirational. Keep up the good work Jonas and thank you for your contribution. Anyone that leaves such a silly negative comments, clearly doesn't understand anything about tennis and can keep their negative thoughts to themselves.
Bret October 7, 2021 - 15:18
This is where I think the Prince Phantom line has been a revelation for this conversation. I can't tell you how many Babolat Pure Aero players I've let borrow my Phantom 100P only for them to ask me if I'd be willing to sell them one. It's been like watching that Wilson Clash commercial – each of them, after taking a few good swings, lets out an audible "wow".
I think the thin, box beam combined with the 16×18 pattern is just such a sweet spot between classic racquets and modern racquets, that there's just not much else on the market with which to compare them. (The Phantom 18×20 is magnificent as well).
Anyway, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. I think there's definitely a way to bridge the gap between classic and modern and I think Prince is the only game in town for that (at the moment anyway).
Sam Smith October 16, 2021 - 23:05
Lots of the current male pros on tour use "classic" frames. Specifically, they are using the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 95 or very close remakes thereof. These world class athletes have bull-like strength and razor sharp technique. they don't need some super sloppy 110 inch head to generate speed and spin. Yes the 85 to 90 inch head size racquets are gone, but the vast majority of the men still use 95 to 98 inch heads with weights that most amateurs couldn't wield. Frankly, the current Pro Staff 97 RF is nothing more than a SLIGHTLY modified and less refined version of the old Pro Staff 6.1 95 which came out in the early 1990s.
John Keller January 1, 2023 - 05:32
Jonas..yes yes..it's not the racket it's the player holding the racket and many older classic frames are quite acceptable for some higher level play.
OR even modifications to a older frame to bring it back to life..Like extending the frame,yes many top players now use XL versions extra long ,standard length is 27 inches but there are top players using 27.5 and 28 or up to 29 even..it's legal to play with 29.
A new product XTP Xtended Tennis Product is a aftermarket butt cap that can easily add half inch to any racket by simply removing the factory butt cap and installing the XTP.
Breath some new life into an old classic frame and can add extra spin power reach.
Thx.j

Lockheed Martin / NASA X-59 LBFD
Subsonic Boom Technology Demonstrator Aircraft
Image from official NASA-Lockheed Martin press release.
Image from official NASA-Lockheed Martin press release; passenger version showcased.
The joint Lockheed-NASA LBFD technology demonstrator is set to launch a whole new era of X-plane development for the American space administration.
NASA has selected Lockheed Martin's "Skunk Works" division to design and develop the experimental "Low Boom Flight Demonstrator" (LBFD) aircraft. This air vehicle will be used to collect data on reduced-level sonic boom performance that currently restrict super-high-speed commercial passenger airliner travel over populated airspaces (this was one of the primary defeats of the European BAC/Aerospatiale "Concorde" supersonic airliner program). The LBFD will also be used to jumpstart a whole new generation of NASA-funded "X-planes", a long-running series of experimentals (some becoming record-setters) driven by the research branch that ultimately played a critical role in advancing American aerospace technologies during the Cold War period (1947-1991). The primary end-goal of the new program is to provide a standard data scheme for civilian airspace aircraft-makers to be referenced when designing their own ultra-efficient subsonic-level products.
When the project was first unveiled by NASA in August of 2017, no fewer than three firms shared interest but it was Lockheed that ended up the only party to submit a formal bid. The company has elected to construct the aircraft utilizing existing "off-the-shelf" systems taken from such types as the Northrop T-38 "Talon" carrierborne advanced jet trainer and the Boeing F/A-18 "Super Hornet" carrier-based fighter-bomber - not only will this accelerate manufacture of the flyable unit but also keep development costs in check.
Going by the presented concept artwork released by NASA, the LBFD will take on a sleek-and-slim overall shape with a finely-pointed, duckbill-like nosecone, delta-style wing mainplanes, and a rather unique tailplane arrangement. The cockpit will be seated at midships with limited forward and rearward viewing for the pilot due to the raised nature of the forward and rearward fuselage spine (this meant to break up the oncoming boom shock at very-high-speeds). To compensate for the restricted view, the aircraft will carry an XVS display system that includes a nose-mounted camera with color imagery relaying situational awareness to the pilot during critical take-off and landing actions. A "triple plane" design is seen for the overall shape of the aircraft - delta-like wing mainplanes are positioned just aft of midships with canards set forward and traditional tailplanes fitted aft. In addition to the traditional horizontal tailplanes there will be a smaller set of horizontal planes seated high atop the single vertical fin (similar to the "Multhopp Tail" adopted by many civilian and military aircraft). A tricycle undercarriage will be used for ground-running with these components taken from a Lockheed F-16 "Fighting Falcon". The T-38 will form much of the LBFD's cockpit section which will house a single pilot. Structurally, the aircraft's overall length will reach 94 feet from nose-to-tail.
The LBFD will have a speed capability approaching Mach 1.4 and fly up to altitudes of 55,000 feet requiring pressurization for the cockpit and life support systems for the pilot. Power is slated to come from a single General Electric GE F414 afterburning turbofan engine (the same as used in the Boeing F/A-18 "Super Hornet" line) and this installation will be aspirated by a diverterless supersonic intake scheme. Placement of the engine is key to the design and involves the unit being positioned well-aft in the fuselage with its edges finely-contoured to the existing airframe to maintain aerodynamic efficiency. The intake will be seen just above the aft-dorsal fuselage spine with a conventional exhaust ring featured at the fuselage's extreme end - as such, little to no ductwork will be required to funnel air through the unit.
With a design review forthcoming before the end of 2019, a first-flight is scheduled for sometime in mid-2021. Flight testing is then to arrive in 2023 and should continue into 2025 during which time public feedback will also be welcomed and assessed as the aircraft is test-flown over select populated areas across the United States.
The LBFD may very well help to introduce a whole new era of commercial flight and add to the already stellar legacy of contributions had by the United States in the aerospace field.
January 2019 - It was announced that Rockwell Collins (under United Technologies) was selected to provide the avionics fit for the upcoming X-59A technology demonstrator aircraft.
February 2019 - Primary assembly of the supersonic X-59A air vehicle is set to begin May 2019. A first-flight is scheduled for sometime in 2021.
June 2019 - It was announced that Lockheed engineers had begun assembly of the X-59 demonstrator.
June 2019 - Lockheed has unveiled concept artwork related to a 40-seat passenger version of its X-59 SuperSonic Transport (SST) aircraft. Dimensionally larger than the X-59 demonstrator, the SST variant relies on a twin (side-by-side) engine configuration (at the tail section) and its fuselage is lined with passenger windows. The cockpit has been moved further ahead in the design.
May 2020 - NASA announced steady progress on its X-59A aircraft. Lockheed Martin has received, from General Electric, the proposed F414-100 turbofan engine to be used in the prototype.
June 2020 - NASA and Lockheed Martin are set to begin active supersonic flight-testing of their X-59A prototype sometime during 2021.

Q: Android add ImageView programmatically I currently add images through xml with the whole R.id.x method with the following function:
public void Image(int ID, int x, int y){
    ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(ID);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams position = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    position.setMargins(x, y, 0, 0);

    iv.setLayoutParams(position);
}

I've written a new function to get these images on screen programmatically instead of parsing them in XML, with help from afore-mentioned topics/questions I searched and came up with this:
public void ImageRAW(int ID, int x, int y){
    ImageView iv = new ImageView(c);
    iv.setImageResource(ID);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams position = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    position.setMargins(x, y, 0, 0);

    iv.setLayoutParams(position);
    rl.addView(iv);
}

But it did not work. I also tried adding the following line, to no avail: iv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
And in regards to the variables rl and c:
private Context c;
private RelativeLayout rl;

public void SetUtilContext(Context context){
    c = context;
    rl = new RelativeLayout(context);
}

The above function is called in every Activity's onCreate() function and sets the UtilLib's current Context and RelativeLayout for drawing accordingly.
The function ImageRAW() is something I would like to use to replace the old Image() function, to make things easier for me. How would/could I get this working?

A: Try add this before your SetUtilContext():
RelativeLayout menu = findViewById(R.layout.menu);

And this at the end of your ImageRAW() method:
menu.addChild(rl);

A: As per Incredible's request, my onCreate function where I'm testing the functions:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.menu);

    SetUtilContext(this);
    Image(R.id.logo, 0, 0);

Allred: Another tape appears to show R. Kelly with girls
A man who said he was cleaning out an old videotape collection found what he thought was a recording of R&B singer R. Kelly in concert, but instead turned out to show a man who appeared to be Kelly sexually abusing girls, he and his attorney said Sunday.
The man then turned the tape over to law enforcement, according to attorney Gloria Allred. She and her client, Gary Dennis, would not discuss the specifics of the tape during a news conference in New York. But Allred said it appears to show a separate incident from the 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse that Kelly faces in Chicago, though she acknowledged she could not be "100 percent certain" that the man in the tape is Kelly.
Kotoko's Dr Amo Sarpong banned for 6 months
Steve Greenberg, an attorney for Kelly, noted that lack of certainty.
"The doubt here is self-evident, with reporting that the man on the tape kinda, sorta looks like R. Kelly," Greenberg said Sunday in an email. "That doesn't make it him. It is not him."
The lawyer also said Kelly "denies that he is on any tape with underaged girls."
"It is obviously now just open season on R. Kelly," Greenberg said.
The lawyer also said that Kelly "denies that he is on any tape with underaged girls."
Dennis, an assistant at a nursing home, said he was cleaning out a box of old VHS tapes in his Pennsylvania home recently when he found the footage, on a tape that was labeled with Kelly's name. Dennis said he has never met Kelly and doesn't know how the tape came to be in his possession. He said that because the tape also has a sports game on it, he believes it may have come from a friend.
"To my shock and surprise, R. Kelly appeared to be on the tape, but not in concert," Dennis said. "Instead he was sexually abusing underaged African-American girls."
"I was disgusted and horrified when I saw that," Dennis said.
Allred said they assume the girls in the video were underage because they didn't appear to have developed.
The charges Kelly faces in Chicago are in connection to three girls and one woman. Prosecutors have said they have video of Kelly sexually abusing one of the girls.
Kelly has been trailed for decades by allegations that he victimized women and girls, and he was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 related to a tape that prosecutors said showed him having sex with a girl as young as 13. He and his attorneys have repeatedly denied allegations of sexual misconduct, and he has pleaded not guilty to the charges filed last month in Chicago. In an interview that aired Wednesday and Thursday on "CBS This Morning," Kelly pleaded with viewers to believe that he never had sex with anyone under age 17 and never held anyone against their will.
Allred, who represents women who say they were abused by Kelly, said the tape from Dennis was turned over to law enforcement in the federal Eastern District of New York. She didn't say why it went to that venue. A representative for the office declined to comment.
Allred encouraged anyone who was in possession of similar tapes to come forward, either to her or to law enforcement.
A Chicago police spokesman referred questions about Allred's news conference to the prosecutors handling the case. That office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Are Viral Foods Like The Sushi Donut Killing The Restaurant Industry? [The Katchup Podcast]

No Comments on Are Viral Foods Like The Sushi Donut Killing The Restaurant Industry? [The Katchup Podcast]
Are sushi donuts killing the restaurant industry?
That's the major topic of the first episode of our BRAND-NEW podcast, "The Katchup." The discussion launches a weekly podcast discussion on the top trends in food. Given the viral success of the Sushi Donut, which generated over 80 million video views between ourselves and other food news outlets in the past week, it had to be the key discussion for this week.
This week, Foodbeast's Editor-In-Chief, Elie Ayrouth, brought in Andy Nguyen, the owner of viral restaurant successes like Project Poké's Sushi Donut and Afters Ice Cream's Milky Buns, and Jason Quinn, owner of the Playground Restaurant in downtown Santa Ana, to discuss how social media virality is affecting customer eating habits at restaurants.
Sneak peek alert!! SUSHI DONUTS are now a thing, and they're freaking delicious! 🍣😍 (YES, this is the ORIGINAL PHOTO that has been published everywhere without proper credit. Thanks to those who have given me credit on the pic! 🙏) – Sushi rice donuts filled with spicy tuna or avocado, topped with salmon, tuna and more. Debuting at Project Poke this Friday!! You're welcome. 😉 #TanayasTable #projectpoke – Snapchat for behind-the-scenes: 👻 MsTanayaG – Tag your friends you want to try this with! 👇🏼
A post shared by Tanaya ~ Tanaya's Table 🍰 (@tanayas.table) on Feb 15, 2017 at 8:42pm PST
Since the Sushi Donut's massive success was borne from Nguyen's poké shop, the group also discusses the future of poké and of the restaurant industry.
The podcast gets extremely real when Elie brought up e-mails he received regarding Foodbeast's coverage of these items:
"I have quotes on two chefs, at least two chefs in my inbox, that have said: 'Fuck you Elie, stop promoting sushi donuts, and stop promoting shit with Flamin' Hot Cheetos on it.' "
Definitely give the podcast a listen, as it provides in-depth commentary as to how items like the Sushi Donut are affecting the future of restaurants and their menu offerings.

How Chefs Feel About Roy Choi's Zero Star Review From The NYT
Post author By Isai Rocha
No Comments on How Chefs Feel About Roy Choi's Zero Star Review From The NYT
Recently, a New York Times food critic made headlines by slapping Roy Choi and Daniel Patterson's Locol restaurant with a zero-star review.
If you're unfamiliar with Locol, the chefs opened the fast food restaurant with the intentions of bringing wholesome, affordable food to economically challenged areas, referred to as "food deserts," such as Oakland and Watts, California.
The Times' Peter Wells was not impressed by the restaurant, at all, and sparked a conversation about whether it was a fair assessment of the restaurant.
From the notion that he was unnecessarily harsh to a "fast food" restaurant, to the defense that the food should be better considering the famous faces behind the restaurant, opinions were flying out left and right.
We reached out to some highly-respected chefs, and also took to social media to get a sense of what the culinary brotherhood had to feel about the review.
Chefs have to deal with critics all the time, from newspapers to Yelp reviews, so they know what it's like to take on harsh criticism. For the most part, the chefs felt the review was a bit of a stunt to bring attention to the newspaper, but there was also an overarching feeling that there is still a lot of value to what the chefs are trying to do with the restaurant.
Check out some chef reactions below and see if you agree:
Andrew Gruel – Slapfish
"I think we are giving way too much attention to this review. Obviously Wells reviewed this place because he knows he needs to create controversy in order to continue to entice readers. He is one step away from creating click-bait at the expense of chefs like Roy Choi.
With that said, I think all fast-food/fast-casual joints are fair game for reviews — negative or positive, they will draw customers to see what all the commotion is all about and that's the real chance to win your guests. People saying he shouldn't have reviewed the restaurant because of Choi's altruistic perspective is bullshit. It's a restaurant and should be treated with all the same standards as any other restaurant.
In our digital world, Yelp is more powerful in the long run, so let Mr. Wells try and keep creating fake food news."
Eddie Huang – BaoHaus
I received a 0 star @nytimes review, I pooped on Red Rooster, it's important to hold people accountable even a saint like @RidingShotgunLA 🙏
— Eddie Huang (@MrEddieHuang) January 5, 2017
Linh Nguyen – Crave 410
"In my opinion the overall tone of the review was a bit harsh. Anyone who employs at-risk teens in a poverty stricken neighborhood deserves at least 4 stars.
As chefs, we are prepared to envision menus based on demographics, cost, availability and other variables. Reading some of the menu items LocoL provides I can see where the chefs were going based on flavor profiles, availability, and especially food cost. At the the end of the day, they humbled themselves with zero egos , bringing a seemingly impossible idea to fruition. They challenged corporate fast food on their own turf with healthier options at the same price point.
If that's not 'punk' as fuck, I don't know what is!
Also, The NY Times brought up good sentiments about the restaurant as well as even recommending items at the end of the article. It almost feels that Pete Wells wanted to give LocoL a couple stars. Maybe zero stars was intended to shock and get the article a little more shine."
Aron Habiger – Cooking on the Lam
"When a reviewer comes in for a chef like Roy Choi or Daniel Patterson, the expectations are set at a certain bar. Any time they open a new restaurant, there's pressure… the limelight is put on you, the pressure's on, and you know you really have to nail it out of the gate. You expect, the minute they open that door, that it's spot-on.
I feel bad when I see a really bad review for chefs. I know it hurts, 'cause I've been in those shoes, too."
David Chang – Momofuku
David Chang with the subtweet here, but we do all know who he was talking about. He also jumped on Instagram and posted a photo of Locol, hashtagging it #welocol.
What a fucking jerk. You know who I'm talking about…
— Dave Chang (@davidchang) January 4, 2017

Jason Quinn – The Playground DTSA
"That's pretty brutal. I feel as if Pete Wells makes a fantastic point, but I think it would have been better not to write the review. These are two great chefs, opening alternatives to the evil of McDonald's, and getting shit on.
Not only have some people "forgotten" about these demographics, no one seems to be concerned about their health.
I always thought it was very bold of Choi and Patterson to take on this venture. Always admired their dedication to feeding the masses, and didn't know how it would end up. I certainly didn't think the New York Times food critic would come out to write about them."

Watch the Trailer for Snack-Off, Rob Dyrdek's New MTV Cooking Competition Show
1 Comment on Watch the Trailer for Snack-Off, Rob Dyrdek's New MTV Cooking Competition Show
If you've ever caught an episode of Food Network's Chopped and wondered how come there wasn't a show like that for the college-aged snack food-inspired generation, then Rob Dyrdek was wondering the same thing. Introducing Snack-Off, a half hour cooking competition show highlighted by a group of amateur chefs battling it out in a host of "snack" inspired challenges.
The show is hosted by Eddie Huang and supported by a panel of judges including supermodel and Foodbeast Chrissy Teigen, chef and entrepreneur Jason Quinn, and what appears to be a rotating/TBA third judge. For fans of the internet, it's fair to note this show isn't the first of its kind, with Epic Meal Time having imagined a season of a snack-based gluttonous cook-off in the form of Epic Chef. No word on whether Dyrdek's show was inspired Epic Meal Time's programming, but the similarities are interesting.
According to the MTV show page, the contestants will all be battling for a cash prize, a golden spork necklace, as well as getting their recipe published in the inevitable Snack-Off cookbook.
Who's excited for this show?

Chef Jason Quinn Talks Playground Restaurant, Daily Menus, and Pissing People Off
No Comments on Chef Jason Quinn Talks Playground Restaurant, Daily Menus, and Pissing People Off
"There's a million restaurants that will cater to you, and we don't really like any of those places," says Jason Quinn, ex-Food Network personality, ex-Lime Truck chef, and current Playground restaurateur.
We've covered Chef Quinn in the past, we've covered his win on Food Network's Great Food Truck Race, we brought to life his fiery responses to opinionated Yelp reviewers, we've even gawked and salivated at his restaurant's delicious and adventurous menu.
So why are people — us included — still talking about him? Because his take on food reminds us of a cross between Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali and…well…that crazy ass 25-year-old Jason Quinn. If you go to his restaurant, he won't change a damn thing, he doesn't serve ketchup, and when you sit down for dinner with him, he'll give you his unfiltered opinion on anyone or anything in the industry, in life, or that diarrhea-inducing hot dog stand across the street.
So today, when he sat down with our friends at Orisue for a quick video feature, he did just that — he spilled his soul, for better or worse, about the uncompromising way he runs his restaurant.
Quinn often jokes about how a select few customers will get upset when he refuses to make a particular dish without its initially designed ingredients. The joking doesn't end there — when customers threaten to go across the street to somewhere else when a dish isn't changed to their specifications, Jason has to hold steadfast to his restaurant's game plan, stating "Well we just do it differently. Are you gonna make me go across the street? Yeah, if that's what you wanna do, yes, you're gonna have to go somewhere else to eat."
The topic of chef driven restaurants remains a hot button issue for the foodie community. While many appreciate the idea of going to a restaurant and enjoying a dish the way the chef intended it, there remains a select few who expect the 'have it your way' experience and will subsequently be met with a brick wall when visiting restaurants like The Playground.
Quinn is still jovial in his pursuit, though. Their restaurant isn't out to nickel and dime the customer, but rather, to win you over. Didn't think lettuce would work with that dish? Try it, if you don't like it, they usually will cover that part of the bill. There's a certain level of respect that can be attributed to an outsider group of chefs who want to make sure that if you don't like their food, it's because the way they designed it had a fault, not because you added ketchup to that sashimi dish.
What's your take on Jason Quinn, chef-driven food, and uncompromising menus?

YELPing Back — 'Burn in hell,' Says Notable Chef to One of His Customers
49 Comments on YELPing Back — 'Burn in hell,' Says Notable Chef to One of His Customers
One of the more recent features YELP has implemented involves the ability for business owners to respond to their reviews, whether positive or negative. Obviously, this is opening the floodgates for extremely boring and politically-correct communication between consumer and producer…am I right? Right…..wrong. Let's jump into this particular case:
Let me setup the battlefield: Negative Nancy Yelp Reviewer vs. Passionate Chef/Restaurateur.
As a prologue, on a recent visit to aggregate-review site Yelp.com, I was drawn to a particular back and forth argument occurring between some displeased customer and the owner of that very restaurant. Why should you care?
Well, the review seemingly reamed the restaurant at length, in fact the 1-star rating was over five paragraphs long, touching on everything from the forced 3% gratuity, refusal to cook Kobe Beef well done, chef's family walking around "trying to be restauranteurs," and soggy french fries, to name a few.
The owner's response? Five paragraphs of his own, rounding out the entire piece with a real bruiser:
"Burn in hell." — Jason Quinn
Popular food truck-chef-turned-restaurateur, Jason Quinn, has accomplished quite a bit in his short 25-years on the planet. His once-chef duties with The Lime Truck helped him secure a $100,000 prize on Food Network's food truck show, and shortly after, he rode the wave of success to open up his own brick-and-mortar restaurant in Southern California — The Playground.
If you're not familiar with Quinn from his appearance on The Great Food Truck Race, you'll likely hear more about him through the reverberating halls of the foodie community. He's a passionate fellow, quick to defend and boast about his craft, his people and the ultimate food art he produces.
A few of his competitors on The Great Food Truck Race were quick to pigeon hole him, and his team, as cocky and young — which frankly, isn't too far fetched. They are young, but they're winning, and the food is speaking for itself. Anyone who's tasted a dish from The Lime Truck, or experienced a night of dining at The Playground can quickly attest to the quality of food they're putting in their mouth.
Quinn is a skilled chef, and explains every dish he makes with the same enthusiasm one would use while describing their newborn baby's first uttering of "momma" or "papa." He's a giddy chef — it's refreshing. Just look at him busting at the seams in the video we shot of him a couple months back at a local food truck gathering [see below]:
Now let's switch gears. We've established Jason Quinn's passion, his built up anxiety for success, and now…we'll explain how he does his darndest to stay active on Yelp. And by active, I mean he responds to a majority of his Yelp reviews, good or bad. To his credit, the majority of feedback he gets about his Santa Ana location is positive. Easy to deal with, for the most part.
With a running total of 84 reviews written of The Playground, the heavy majority of them fall in 5-star range, with the average rating standing at 4.5/5 stars. So what happens when a bad review comes in? Here's a look at the full conversation, starting with the lengthy, negative review:
Full disclosure, I loved my visit to The Playground. Quinn was super hospitable when our friends had dinner, all the food was delicious, and everyone around was having a good time. The review above? Some could view it as narrow, and I definitely wouldn't disagree, but playing devil's advocate, there are far more disgruntled, naive and obscure reviews to be had on Yelp.
Trolls are a plenty on the Internet, and this person just doesn't seem to understand the type of restaurant he/she walked into. Many a gastropub and chef-driven restaurant involves dealing with a certain heir…if you don't like it, you don't dine there. There are plenty of other establishments that will cater to your changing of their menu, your cooking suggestions, and more wallet-friendly dishes.
With that in mind, does that negative Yelper's review warrant this response from chef Quinn? You decide:
One of the most interesting lines in Quinn's response is his self questioning of his restaurant's core drive, to be "chef-driven" or "hospitality-driven." The option of being chef driven, while un-Orthodox, would at least give a semblance of a reason behind his passionate response.
In a chef-driven environment, the policies set forth by The Playground aren't too out-of-bounds.But does that mean Quinn's move to be so passionate and transparent (he openly expresses the $300,000 investment he made to open the restaurant) in his Yelp responses are a good business move?
It's up for debate. Quinn hasn't shied away from his response, he's not chalking it up to a lapse of judgement, he's kept his response up on the review website and even gone a step further, he's opened up a "Dialog" section on his restaurant's website. He discusses the incident at length. It's actually a very interesting read, I've lifted some of their notes in response to the beef:
The artistic license we allow the kitchen touches on a sensitive tension between the chefs in the kitchen and the customers in the seats. The chefs design their dishes in the way they believe will highlight the quality of the ingredients, the culinary art involved and the customer's experience. Every component of every dish is carefully considered and tailored to complement the other elements of the dish. Regardless whether you and I agree that they have created a masterpiece, they do their best to design the perfect dish.
If a customer orders risotto, he would never dream of telling the chefs that they should use a different white wine in its preparation; if the customer could detect and disapprove of the white wine being used, he would either not order the dish or say that it did not suit his taste. In that case, we would take it off his check and offer to substitute something more to his liking. (Much as we did for the infamous one-star reviewer.)
So what's the next move? An open discussion.
Even if a chef can win an argument, should it be had in the first place? In an age of transparency, social media and direct customer interaction, there are indeed new liabilities that should be accounted for.
For many restaurateurs, they fear that one "unhappy" customer may spread those negative sentiments to his immediate network, and subsequently, his network's extended network.
That itching task of trying to please every customer, which undoubtedly led to the phrase "The customer is always right," keeps many chefs/owners up at night wondering if they did all they could do. It's fair to say Quinn has that itch, he's attentive to customers, he's responsive on social networks and Yelp and does all he can to correct inconsistencies in service and quality.
Being an accessible, open and outgoing entrepreneur can have potential drawbacks though.
Possible case #1, telling a customer, publicly, to Burn in Hell.

Winners of a Food Network Show Spend Their $100,000 Prize on Ping Pong?
2 Comments on Winners of a Food Network Show Spend Their $100,000 Prize on Ping Pong?
In a ridiculous story forming out of TMZ, a series of pictures shadily taken from inside the homes of either Daniel Shemtob or Jason Quinn 'have surfaced', insinuating that the two personalities from The Lime Truck blew their winnings on a top of the line ping pong table.
For those that don't follow the premise of the Food Network show these two won (The Great Food Truck Race), their particular food truck edged out seven other trucks from across the country to claim a grand prize of $100,000.
The only thing we can conclude from this TMZ story is that it's a fabulous joke/satire piece. Currently, Jason Quinn is no longer with The Lime Truck, focusing on his own project, a brick-and-mortar restaurant that just opened in Orange County (see: The Playground).
Daniel has also expanded The Lime Truck's presence with a second truck for their LA consumers shortly after the show's conclusion. We're positive they didn't spend their entire loot on a single ping pong table, instead more on the expansion of The Lime Truck operations and for Quinn's new restaurant.
Fun story though, TMZ.

The Playground — A Look at the New Eatery From Ex-Lime Truck Chef
No Comments on The Playground — A Look at the New Eatery From Ex-Lime Truck Chef
Just a few months ago, Jason Quinn led the way as Lime Truck's lead chef, not only making a name for the truck in its hometown of Orange County, but branding the Southern California-based mobile food kitchen as one of the hottest trucks in the country.
After snatching $100,000 and the title of best food truck on the second season of Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race, it looks like part of those winnings went to fulfill his dream of opening up his own brick-and-mortar restaurant concept — The Playground.
The downtown Santa Ana location is flanked by a hodgepodge of art, music, fashion and eating/drinking destinations, an almost perfect compliment to the vibe Quinn hopes to achieve with his location —
I dreamed of taking what I started on the The Lime Truck and expanding it into a restaurant…I envisioned a big, beautiful building filled with character and style, an open kitchen and stunning bar, shiny new equipment and a team of passionate foodies to help me change how food and drink is prepared, served and appreciated. — Jason Quinn
No longer a part of The Lime Truck, Jason is hoping his charisma, passion and skill-set will port over to a brick-and-mortar concept. Early reports from our friends and colleagues spoke highly of the atmosphere and even higher about the food, some calling their staple 'Playground Burger,' one of the best burgers they've ever tasted. Those are huge claims, and you best believe we took a night out to test the waters.
Here's what what we found:

The Lime Truck Set To Open a Brick & Mortar Location
No Comments on The Lime Truck Set To Open a Brick & Mortar Location
While some chefs and talented foodies may take to starting a food truck to avoid the high startup costs associated with a brick-and-mortar restaurant, the fellows behind The Lime Truck have done it a bit differently. Lime was created to fill a void, as their mission statement reminds. They wanted to deliver fresh food to people on the go, people cramped in office cubicles every day, and food to insomniacs during those late nights.
After seeing their truck's success, opening a second roaming truck to meet the demand, and even being featured on the second season of Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race" (airing August 14th), the truck's co-owner and consulting chef, Jason Quinn, told the OC Register his plans for his own restaurant opening.
The information gleaned from the report is minimal; no word on the menu, no exact date, and no word of any The Lime Truck co-branding. All we know thus far is that the restaurant will be in Santa Ana at 4th and Spurgeon, will open in a "few months" and will have both upstairs and downstairs patios.
Notably, this isn't the first piece of news regarding a food truck making the jump into a brick-and-mortar location. It wasn't too long ago Chef Roy Choi of the Kogi BBQ Truck notoriety opened up his LA-based Chego restaurant, following the success of his mini Korean-Mexican food truck empire.
Could we see more trucks make the leap in the future? Are there any in specific you feel would work well as a standalone restaurant?

APOCHROMATIC MACRO Long Normal LENS!
Thinking of the 65mm f/2 APO-Lanthar only as a macro lens is a bit inaccurate and limiting.
This is a super sharp highly corrected apochormatic long normal lens which also happens to close focus to 1:2.
We announce the release of the Voigtländer MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm F2 Aspherical, a Sony E-mount macro lens for full frame sensors. The APO-LANTHAR designation is given to especially high performance lenses in the Voigtländer lens lineup. The legendary APO-LANTHAR lens that continues to enthrall photographers with its outstanding imaging performance and beautiful rendering was born in 1954, but its origins can be traced back around 120 years (see additional info about the APO-LANTHAR below).
A need for apochromatic optical designs that reduce the longitudinal chromatic aberrations of the three primary colors (RGB) of light to practically zero arose with the increasing popularity of color film. Now, with the current range of high-resolution digitals sensors, this need for extremely high-level control of chromatic aberrations is even more pertinent than when film changed from monochrome to color. So rather than just being for already solved old technologies, apochromatic optical designs are indeed a subject requiring serious consideration in the digital age.
The Voigtländer MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm F2 Aspherical, which inherits the designation "APO-LANTHAR", is a high performance manual focus macro lens optimized for the imaging sensors of Sony mirrorless cameras. The optical performance of this lens, which provides an image circle capable of covering a full frame sensor, rates as one of the finest in the history of Voigtländer. Sharp imaging performance is obtained from maximum aperture where you can enjoy blurring the background, and by utilizing a floating mechanism this lens delivers outstanding image quality for subjects from the minimum focusing distance of 31cm (reproduction ratio of 1:2) through to infinity. This lens is a manual focus and manual aperture design, but also features electrical contacts that enable the lens settings at image capture to be included in the Exif information of the image data. Furthermore, the lens is installed with a distance encoder to enable support for 5-axis image stabilization on bodies with this feature, for example by providing distance to subject information used in X,Y shift compensation. Focus peaking while manual focusing is also supported.
The history of the APO-LANTHAR begins with the HELIAR invented by Hans Harting in 1900. Despite its simple optical configuration of five elements in three groups, the HELIAR was a lens with superb depictive performance. As an example of the HELIAR optical formula still being valid in the present day, it is used in the currently available HELIAR 50mm F3.5, a lens known for its superb depictive performance.

The APO-LANTHAR 4.5/100 variation has red, green, and blue (RGB) rings indicating the apochromatic optical design engraved around the front of the lens barrel to differentiate it from the other versions as a special lens. Due to the rarity and high performance of the Bessa II fitted with APO-LANTHAR lens, this camera has become a legendary camera traded on the used market at high prices and the envy of camera collectors.

The 65mm field of view is not new to me. A few years ago my favorite lens was the great 50mm Heliar F/2 on a Leica M8.2 camera. I actually missed that field of view when I changed to Sony E mont full frame camera (A7ii). This field of view is a constrained, or tight normal. For me it emphasizes a "thing that caught my attention" kind of photography perfectly. If this APO-Lanthar had only been "good enough", then I would have been satisfied. But the 65mm APO-Lanthar is way beyond good enough. I have noticed no significant field curvature, so it provides exceptional resolution from corner to corner at f/2. I have not found ANY purple (or any other color) fringing on any high contrast edges either in photographs. I see zero distortion - so its use for landscapes and architecture is powerful. The ability to close focus adds tremendously to the "thing-that-caught-my-ttention" style. Its images have a strong, clean, colorful quality that I really like. I am noticing that I do much less post processing with this lens. It is the best lens I have ever used. The description given at Cameraquest is accurate. The service from Cameraquest is unparalleled. Most lenses are perfectly useful, some lenses are really nice, and a very few are WOW. This one is WOW!

Synagoga w Inowrocławiu – nieistniejąca obecnie synagoga znajdująca się w Inowrocławiu przy ulicy Solankowej.

Synagoga została zbudowana w 1908 roku. W znacznej części została ufundowana przez przedsiębiorcę dr. Leopolda Levy'ego. Podczas II wojny światowej w 1939 roku hitlerowcy zburzyli synagogę, a po wojnie na polecenie władz miejskich usunięto jej ruiny. Obecnie na jej miejscu znajduje się pomnik Jana Kasprowicza.

Murowany budynek synagogi wzniesiono na planie zbliżonym do prostokąta, w stylu neoromańskim. Budynek o konstrukcji żelbetowej krył we wnętrzu bogato złocony wystrój z efektownym żyrandolem.

Viljoen said he is a lot like his character in many ways — from the music to the way he carries himself.
Snyder plays Sherrie, a sweet, young, determined actress who leaves her home in Paola, Kan., to pursue her acting dreams on the Sunset Strip. She is intelligent, optimistic and persistent. She won't let anything stand in the way of her dreams.
"I relate so much to her passion, drive and optimism — and her struggles with love and success are universal," Snyder said.
"Rock of Ages" is truly unique, utilizing 1980s rock for the entire score.
"These songs are all familiar, but you experience them in an entirely new way as they manifest into a beautiful, quirky, hilarious story," Snyder said.
Performing on the Ryan Mainstage at Millbrook provided a uniquely wonderful space that allows the audience to be close to the action, Schneider said.
For "Rock of Ages," it is Schneider's hope that audiences will be taken away from 2016 and can celebrate a time that was filled with endless optimism.
Viljoen believes "Rock of Ages" will take the audience back to the 1980s, as it will have the feel of a rock concert.

Darragh Smith, won the Parts Manager Category at the International Finals of the Škoda Challenge, which sees over 200 Škoda employees from 35 countries compete in the initiative – designed to ensure that Škoda employees, across the world, maintain best-in-class standards, for their ever-growing customer base.
Darragh began his career in Brady's Škoda, Cavan, five years ago, where he trained as an apprentice technician before moving to the Parts Department, in September 2016.
Paul Bruton, who has been a Diagnostic Technician with Noel Deasy Škoda, based in Cork, for 23 years, placed seventh in the Diagnostic Technician category. Robbie Matthews, a Škoda brand manager for Western Motors since 2012, also placed seventh in the Sales Manager category.
A total of seven Škoda employees from across the country competed in the eighth international finals of the Škoda Challenge, which took place in Spain, last week. The Škoda Challenge has become a prestigious benchmark for measuring the qualities of the best employees in the global Škoda service network and includes several different categories, including Best Sales Executive, Best Sales Manager, Best Service Advisor, Best Service Technician, Best Diagnostic Technician, and Best Parts Manager.
Commenting on the results of the International Škoda Challenge, William Lee, Head of Aftersales at Škoda Ireland, said: "I would like to congratulate Darragh on winning the Parts Manager category, as well as Paul and Robbie for securing top-ten finishes, at the International Škoda Challenge.

Ethical Dilemmas Arise from Genetic Testing for Cancer
Beth Fand Incollingo
Conference | FORCE Conference
While genetic testing for cancer has some obvious benefits, it also creates ethical dilemmas in many cases.
When it comes to genetic mutations that can lead to cancer, "Knowledge is power. This information can be used to preserve your health."
That's the bottom line according to Lisa Schlager, vice president of community affairs and public policy for Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE), an organization that advocates for people affected by hereditary breast, ovarian and related cancers.
Still, identifying meaningful mutations and using those findings to promote cancer prevention and treatment — without causing harm along the way — will require the nation's legislative and medical leaders to work through a number of difficult issues, agreed Schlager and two other experts who participated in a recent panel discussion titled "The Intersection of Cancer Genetics, Law and Advocacy." The April 25 talk at the JCC Manhattan was hosted by the Basser Center for BRCA at the University of Pennsylvania, the law firm Kelley Drye and the organization Judges & Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert.
On the heels of that discussion, FORCE will look again at the issue during a session at its annual conference, set for June 8-10 in Orlando, Florida. During that session, titled "Hereditary Cancer, Insurance and Your Legal Rights," patient advocate Brendan Bietry and Lara Cartwright-Smith, J.D., M.P.H., an associate research professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at George Washington University, will discuss the laws that protect against discrimination; the regulations that affect health insurance coverage for preventive services, breast reconstruction and lymphedema; and how to initiate an appeal for insurance coverage.
The FORCE conference will also include sessions on prevention and treatment of breast, ovarian, pancreatic and other cancers; survivorship and previvorship issues; mastectomy and breast reconstruction; communicating about cancer risk with children and extended family members; exercise, diet and hereditary cancer; and using humor to cope.
Genetics on the Job
One concern is what legal protections exist for those who undergo genetic testing and discover that they carry a genetic mutation that predisposes them to one or more cancer types.
The good news is that the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), passed in 2008, prevents health insurers and employers covered by the measure from using genetic data to exclude anyone, Prince pointed out. Not only does the law prohibit discrimination based on genetic information, test results, the use of genetic services or family history, but it states that employers and health insurers are not allowed to collect that data, she said.
Unfortunately, Schlager noted, there are "significant omissions" from that law: namely life, disability and long-term care insurance.
"We have individuals being denied life insurance," she said. "You have to tell (if you've undergone testing and what your results were) or they'll void the policy, and that's a deterrent to some for genetic testing." Some who know they want to be tested may pre-empt the problem by buying their life insurance first, Domchek suggested.
With the introduction of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) came some new gaps in protection, these related to the gathering and use of genetic information by employers, the panelists said.
Under the ACA, they said, employers are encouraged to offer voluntary wellness programs, such as free gym memberships or discounts on health insurance. In conducting enrollment, companies are allowed to request that employees share genetic and other information, and may even sell those facts to outside parties.
Unfortunately, there are no regulations guiding such programs, which means that companies can ask for health information when it isn't needed to carry out the wellness initiative, Schlager said. She added that, even if companies collect information for wellness programs in the aggregate and make enrollment forms anonymous, a problem can arise at small companies, where someone's age and gender might give away who they are.
Panelists expressed particular concern about the federal Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act, H.R.1313, which, if passed, would allow employers instituting wellness programs to request health information from individuals, rather than in the aggregate, exempting the companies from restrictions under GINA and the ACA.
"They still can't fire you (due to the information you provide), but discrimination can be really hard to prove or recognize," Prince noted.
Wellness programs are typically administered by third parties. They are often connected with company health insurance plans and can be focused more on saving money for employers than on getting results, the panelists said. In fact, they stated, there's little evidence that these programs achieve promised outcomes.
"If you get people to stop smoking, that cuts health care costs and is a win-win," Domcheck said. "The challenge is when these programs move from modifiable to non-modifiable risk factors." Schlager agreed, saying that, "If we could define what a good program is and what they can do with your information, that would be better."
"We have to push back," Domcheck said, "because genetics is not destiny, and should not be treated as such."
Who to Test and What to Look For
Of course, knowing about an inherited genetic mutation, such as an error in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes that raises the risk for breast, ovarian and other cancers, can be lifesaving for someone who takes recommended preventive measures from surveillance to medication to surgery.
In fact, geneticist Mary-Claire King, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Washington, has suggested that all women, at the age of 30, be tested for these mutations, regardless of family history.
But does this make sense from a cost/benefit standpoint? Would it be more reasonable for only women of Ashkenazi Jewish descent to be screened across the board for these mutations, since they face a much higher risk than the population at large?
Or should everyone in the population simply be tested for every known mutation, even if it's not yet clear what all these glitches can mean to people's health, or what protective actions can be taken against them?
Domcheck suggested that offering genetic testing for BRCA mutations to people without a family history of breast and ovarian cancers could create problems.
"In families with no history where you find someone with a mutation, their risk may be lower than in families with cancer," she pointed out. "There are genetic modifiers, other genes that don't change risk much, but you could have all the high-risk ones or all the low-risk ones. And we don't know yet how to apply that information to patients."
Yet, by identifying the mutation, she asked, "What does that do psychologically? In the Orthodox Jewish community, it could affect marriageability, and you may have life insurance issues."
Those with a mutated CDH1 gene, associated with both breast and stomach cancers, may face an even more dire dilemma. When this gene is found in people with family histories of stomach cancer, preventive care involves removal of the stomach. Should that strategy be used in those who have the mutation but no family history? It's a decision that might best be avoided until we have a better understanding of genetics, Domcheck said.
"All the doctors at my facility say they wouldn't be tested for it," she said, "and I wouldn't be, either."
Then there are variants of unknown significance, mutations that can show up in a genetic test panel, but whose meaning to health — if any — is not yet understood.
"We favor reporting it so they don't find out years later," when such mutations might be understood and treatable, Domcheck said.
But does that mean that clinicians should share all genetic findings with patients, even when tests are extremely comprehensive? And is that even feasible?
"Do we say, 'We found 10,000 changes, but here are the 100 we're focusing on and here are the three we're going to tell you about?'" Domcheck asked.
She added that it would be time-consuming and possibly without value to "go through 25 genes in detail" in a conversation with a patient. "What we are expecting patients to understand and decide on is tough," she said.
Furthermore, what is a health care facility's responsibility to the extended family members of someone diagnosed with an inherited mutation that can lead to cancer? Should the hospital step in if the patient decides not to share the information? While some other countries allow health care teams to inform relatives, Domcheck said, American hospitals can't share that information due to privacy laws — although Prince noted that there's more leeway if the patient with the mutation has died.
Schlager added one further note of caution, in light of the rising use of genetic testing and its growing direct-to-consumer availability.
Patients who are considering genetic testing, or who have already undergone it and want to fully understand their risks and what to do in response, should absolutely "see a certified genetic counselor," Schlager said. "The value is incredible."

In French, "The Villages" means "holy shit there's a lot of golf." Well, that didn't make any sense at all, and either do the numbers at The Villages. Golf World contacted me about photographing golf there. It's like telling someone to see all of Disney World in one day. It's impossible.
It was great to team up with writer Leigh Montville. Especially since he's a fellow Red Sox fan.
Montville wrote that there are currently 504 holes of golf. 10 Country clubs, seven with 27 holes, three with 18. 29 exucutive, nine hole courses. 2.5 million rounds played last year. 84 miles of fairway. 10,000 golfers per day. Montville and I sat down with Ken Creely, director of country-club operations.
I've never seen so many golf carts in my life. And, they're all personalized. Fire trucks, corvettes, alumni colors, 18 wheelers, sound systems, blinkers, coolers, tassles, wooden interiors and other tricked out carts.

So, when we saw her out at Reagan Airport on Tuesday, we had to ask how she felt about WWE not canceling the "Crown Jewel" event, despite pressure from politicians and other powerful people in the wake of the Jamal Khashoggi murder.
Acting RAW General Manager Baron Corbin stated last night on RAW that he was impressed by the beatdown Lashley laid on Finn Balor and thought he deserved the spot more than Cena, who passed automatically without a qualifying match.
The star performed in WWE's the Greatest Royal Rumble, which took place in Saudi Arabia in April.
Many were confused as to what WWE was going to do with the planned AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan match for WWE Crown Jewel considering Bryan was reportedly refusing to work the show.
Yahoo Sports also noted that WWE wasn't backing away from the event in Saudi Arabia, despite the controversy stemming from its show in Riyadh in the wake of Khashoggi's mysterious death.
Their Instagram account had over 12,000 followers and they also ran a blog called Holidays and Happily Ever Afters . He said he saw Moorthy standing on a lower ledge closer to the edge than he and his girlfriend were standing.
A number of the company's top talents remain on track to wrestle on the card, such as Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins, Jeff Hardy and Dolph Ziggler, the outlet reported.
Cena's growing profile in the entertainment industry could've played a part in his decision to withdraw over recent events. I will be covering the event live as it airs on Friday. There was no announcement on the main page of WWE.com and his name was listed at the bottom of the list of "featured Superstars" for the event. Daniel Bryan was written out of the show as well after reportedly not wanting to be associated with it. Nearly everything on it clicked - from the obligatory in-ring revolving door opener, to the all-star main event - and it set the brand off to "the global pay-per-view event known as Crown Jewel" (h/t: Tom Phillips) in effective fashion, with every major programme enhanced on the controversial road to Riyadh.
No female wrestlers are allowed to participate at the Saudi event. "Full year 2018 guidance is predicated on the staging of the Riyadh event as scheduled". In a mid-October episode of his HBO show, John Oliver accused WWE of giving legitimacy to Saudi Arabia's "wall-to-wall propaganda" and willfully ignoring the kingdom's human rights abuses.
