Club Helsinki restaurant opens today
"The Restaurant at Helsinki Hudson" opens today with Executive Chef Hugh Horner at the helm.

Helsinki's restaurant is open every day except Wednesday, at 405 Columbia St. in Hudson.

[/caption]Yes Men target Apple
Fast Company reports The Yes Men, based just north of our area, targeted Apple's iPhone for their latest prank. "On Tuesday, they launched a website that was a spitting image for Apple's, and professed to be announcing a new product: the iPhone4CF. "CF" stood for conflict-free, and the site promised that the new phone was exactly like the normal iPhone 4, only it didn't source its minerals from conflict-ridden regions like the Democratic Republic of Congo, thereby fueling atrocities there," David Zax wrote. Apple quickly got the group's website host to take down the site. Mother Jones points out the group was not really targeting Apple, as their press releases says, "Although Apple does have plans to certify its materials as conflict-free, this will by no means be any sort of solution to the situation of conflict in the Congo, nor in any way help bring an end to that conflict. Rather, the solution must be based in diplomacy."
Birthdays
Nov. 22 birthdays include Charles de Gaulle, Terry Gilliam, and Sandy Alderson.
