...follows, according to founder Jonathan Chan, "the new American mantra." That's gastro-speak for an emphasis on fresh and organically grown ingredients, which is, in turn, often a euphemism for dull - though not in Mimolette's case. Excellent and comforting dinners - think pan-roasted quail, or Yorkshire pork rack - are served nightly except Mondays. But Mimolette really comes into its own at Sunday brunch, when its uncluttered dining room is filled with a buttery light. Feast on crepes, soufflés, eggs benedict, cod-brandade omelette, corned-beef hash and all the rest. Naturally, the last thing...
...latest flashpoint in the global financial crisis, Iceland is nursing a familiar sort of economic pain in a typically cool way. Over the past two years, the country's banks enjoyed extraordinary growth by borrowing heavily on international capital markets, leading Iceland to rack up a $2.7 billion current-account deficit, equivalent to 16% of its GDP; the comparable figure even in the notoriously indebted U.S. is only 5%.

See's Candies expected to rack up $100,000 in sales in a single day, while Benjamin Moore paints hawked its promotional teddy bears--the sort of thing that would be free from other companies--for $5. "We don't give things away here," said general manager Frank Strano. "Warren doesn't believe in that...
...Carriers also use underhanded tactics to profit off of text messaging. For example, many carriers promote their text messages heavily but set the default limit for new customers unrealistically low, hoping that many will surpass it and rack up huge additional fees in their first month. What’s especially frustrating is that using text messages is hard to avoid. Even if carriers didn’t make it difficult, if not impossible, to call and disable the feature, friends serve as the biggest exit barrier. People who send a text message expect another back in reply, especially during...
