The twice-a-year list of the Top 500 [5] supercomputers documents the most powerful systems on the planet. Many of these supercomputers are striking not just for their processing power, but for their design and appearance as well. Here's a look at the top finishers in the latest Top 500 list, which was released Monday, June 20, 2011 at the ISC 11 conference in Germany.
K SUPERCOMPUTER, RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS), Japan
The "K" supercomputer, a joint project by Fujitsu and the RIKEN center, has overtaken China's Tianhe-1A system to gain the top spot on the updated list. The K computer system, currently in the configuration stage, features 68,544 Sparc 64 CPUs, each with eight cores, for a total of 548,352 cores—almost twice as many as any other system in the TOP500 [6]. The K Computer is also more powerful than the next five systems on the list combined. The system is deployed across 672 computer racks and has a power consumption of 9.89 megawatts. The K Computer's name draws upon the Japanese word "Kei" for 10^16 (ten quadrillions), representing the system's performance goal of 10 petaflops.
TIANHE-1A, National Supercomputing Center, Tianjin, China
The Chinese Tianhe-1A system at the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin slipped back into second in the latest survey, achieving a performance level of 2.6 petaflop/s (quadrillions of calculations per second). Tianhe-1A is one of the 19 systems in the Top 500 that use NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) to accelerate computation, up from 17 in the November survey.
JAGUAR, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Jaguar [7] was the top performer in the June 2010 survey, but fell back to second in November 2010 and now slips to third overall with a 1.75 petaflop performance speed running the Linpack benchmark. Jaguar is a Cray XT5 system located at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility in Tennessee. While Jaguar fell a few flops short this year, it retains a leadership position in supercomputing style with its striking Jaguar motif.
NEBULAE, China
Nebulae, which is located at the National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen, China, achieved 1.271 PFlop/s to rank fourth overall, down one position from the November survey. Nebulae was built from a Dawning TC3600 Blade system with Intel X5650 processors and NVIDIA Tesla C2050 GPU.
TSUBAME 2.0, GSIC Center, Tokyo Institute of Technology
Like the top-ranked Tianhe system, Tsubame 2.0 is a successor system that builds upon the design of a previously-ranked system. Tsubame 2.0 was developed by the Tokyo Institute of Technology in collaboration with NEC and HP, and is powered by more than 1,400 nodes using both HP Proliant servers and NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. It is Japan's highest-ranked supercomputer. Plans are being developed for Tsubame 3.0.

Joby Taylor, Director Shriver Peaceworker Program The Shriver Center/UMBC 1000 Hilltop Circle Baltimore, MD 21250 410-455-6398 |
Joby Taylor came to Baltimore as a Peaceworker Fellow himself in 1999 and liked the program and the city so much that he has proudly stayed on, becoming program director in 2003. Joby was born and raised in Miami, Oklahoma, a small town that is also home to eight Native American nations. He served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Gabon, Africa (91-93) helping build an elementary school in the village of Seka Seka, and, as all RPCVs soon find, he learned much more than he gave along the way. Joby's involvement in service and service-learning has included other construction projects in the U.S. and the Caribbean, but also much work with youth, particularly at-risk and special needs youth. Academically Joby received his BA in Philosophy, an MA in Religious Studies, and completed his Ph.D. in the Interdisciplinary Language Literacy and Culture program. His dissertation is titled: Metaphors We Serve By: Critical and Constructive Play with the Discourses on Service. Joby lives in Baltimore City with his wife Beth and their two girls, Isabel and Katherine.

Iterate through $has_many items
12 February 2012 at 3:54am Last edited: 12 February 2012 3:55am
Just wanted to confirm,
There isn't (currently?) a way to access every item of a 'normal' SS data type (image, text, etc) I've got in a $has_many in my page? Like I would with a <% control %>?
(I have a bunch of images I want to access but don't really feel like I should have to create a new object just to fill it with a single piece of data...)
I've seen this http://www.silverstripe.org/archive/show/408 but it is quite old, might not be exactly the same as what I want and maybe something's changed!
Just want to find the simplest solution to what I think must be a simple problem!
Re: Iterate through $has_many items
12 February 2012 at 8:29pm Last edited: 29 March 2012 8:30pm
You can use a <% control %> statement (or <% loop %> in SS3.0) to iterate over a has_many. Has_many relationships are ComponentSets.

By Luca CeladaWe all know about the apolitical and paranoid streaks of the American imagination. Another widespread national characteristic is utopianism...Translated By Micaela Bester 13 February 2013Edited by Rachel Smith Italy - Il Manifesto - Original Article (Italian) We all know about the apolitical and paranoid streaks of the American imagination. Another widespread national characteristic is utopianism, which is perhaps all too predictable for a nation born to break with the past and focus on the future, and which is evident in its "intentional communities." Perhaps there is a direct line joining the villages of the Puritan colonies with the agricultural communities of the counterculture. There is certainly a long and rich history between the two. The impulse to find oneself in a local community with people of similar character and converging convictions originates perhaps from the homesteading impulse, or perhaps it is about the famous search for happiness which is constitutionally guaranteed. The fact remains that settlements based on a political, religious or philosophical utopia have never been lacking there. From the Quakers to Arcosanti, the desire to gather together to make a better America within the imperfect America has produced the most varied experiments. They range from Icarians — nineteenth-century proto-socialist followers of Etienne Cabet, arrived from France to found a "communist" city in Texas and in Illinois (in Nauvoo, a small town recently vacated by another group of utopians: the Mormons) — to the eccentric New Age pioneers of Oneida, a community founded in upstate New York in 1848, devoted to free love, eugenics and the manufacture of silverware. Beyond that is an assortment of experimental communities, from creative ones like the utopian city of Paolo Soleri to disturbing religious sects; from Jonestown to Scientology; from the playful, like Burning Man, to the "scientific," like Biosphere 2 in Arizona and the Mars Research Station in the red desert of Utah. It is a varied collection of start-up prophets and priests of the future — including Disney, the "visionary" designer in Florida of the futuristic city of Epcot and the nearby Celebration, a suburban ideal of sound patriotic values. This last place is one in which utopianism combines with slightly leftist diffidence and homogeneity. The latter also pertains to Independence, the perfect city planned by Glenn Beck, columnist for Fox News, from which he was separated when his apocalyptic invectives on Obama's socialist conspiracies became excessive even for Murdoch's reactionary station. Now on his webcast he continues the paranoid drifting and launches his very own apotheosis. It is a plan for the umpteenth perfect city conceived for a select number of virtuous Americans who could build themselves a life based on "the values of freedom, responsibility and truth" on which the world turns — plus, naturally, a theme park, a church in the form of the Alamo and the archives of Beck's TV sermons, preserved for posterity. In sum, a Disney with an abundant splash of Dr. Strangelove. Who knows, maybe this time it will finally be the right utopia.

Itching to try out Passbook already? Here's how to turn upon it.
Apple expelled a second iOS 6 beta to purebred developers yesterday, as well as it enclosed a series of latest changes. The Cupertino company's latest Passbook app stays inactive, however… unless we know about a workaround.
Although zero we can do inside of a Passbook app itself will get it working, there is a small pretence we can perform in mobile Safari. Here's what we need to do.
First, open up Safari upon your iOS 6 device as well as revisit PassSource.com. Here you'll find a series of Passbook templates for all kinds of opposite things, together with boarding passes, coupons, store cards, as well as more.
Tap upon a single of a templates to set up your card, coupon, or ticket. You will afterwards need to come in a applicable report — this will be opposite depending upon what kind of template you've chosen.
Once you've finished a form, strike a 'Create' symbol as well as you'll be presented with a .pkpass file. Tap upon this to open Passbook, where a label we only combined will be combined to your wallet. You right away have a organic Passbook app (almost), yet you'll still need to emanate latest cards in Safari until Apple updates a Passbook app.

In this article, posted on the Globe and Mail website on September 12, KPMG Enterprise partner Sunil Mistry offers advice to an entrepreneur on how to turn his company into a business that not only provides one-off services but also sells a product aimed at a vast market.
At first, Vancouver-based Appnovation took on a wide range of website development projects for clients, but Mr. Leung realized it needed a focus. So he zeroed in on content management systems that allow users to control a website.
Appnovation started to build applications with Drupal, an open-source content management platform popular among large organizations. It then moved into other service areas, such as mobile apps and back-end office tools, all of which it developed with open-source software.
Those decisions paid off. Today, Appnovation has about 55 employees, and Mr. Leung says 2012 revenue will be about $4.5-million, almost triple last year's $1.6-million.

A dubious "sexsomnia" defense
A man escapes rape charges after claiming it was "sleep sex." An expert tells Salon why he's doubtful
A British man was acquitted of raping a 16-year-old this week after mounting a "sexsomnia" defense. Sure, it sounds like a bad joke, but so-called "sleep sex," when someone engages in unconscious, involuntary sexual behavior during slumber, is recognized as a rare but legitimate parasomnia.
However, a leading sleep forensics expert tells Salon that he is highly dubious of the defense in this particular instance, and worries that the case misrepresents a serious condition.
With the caveat that he doesn't know all of the particulars in this case, Michel Cramer Bornemann, co-director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center and lead investigator at Sleep Forensics Associates, says that the broad strokes do not "pass the smell test" for sexsomnia. It was alleged in court that a teenage girl who was staying at Stephen Davies' house became ill and decided to sleep in the 43-year-old's bed since his room was cooler. The accuser claimed that she woke up to find Davies touching her and, as she cried out of terror, he turned her on her side and had sex with her. Afterward, she said he went downstairs to put a kettle on the stove and then returned to the bedroom to sexually assault her again. The next day, Davies texted the girl to ask if anything had happened, and he told police he couldn't remember having sex with her. During the trial, Davies' ex-wife and another former sex partner testified that they had experienced his sexual overtures during sleep.
"The fact that he went downstairs and engaged in behavior that was quite complex and then engaged in sexual intercourse implies higher cortical functioning that is more consistent with a state of consciousness that is not sleep," Cramer Bornemann said. "It implies a goal directed behavior, which completely submarines the defense." More typical "sleep sex" behaviors include inappropriate "vocalizations," "touch" and "masturbation" — despite the misleading name, sexual intercourse is actually very rare.

Intensifying Concerns Over California's Tougher Gun Control Laws
Intensifying Concerns Over California's Tougher Gun Control Laws
Marc Schenker
» Email this item
» Printer Friendly Version
» Recent Articles
California appears to be ground zero for the larger gun-control battle being fought all over the U.S. The legislative developments in that state are a microcosm for what gun owners fear could end up happening federally and all over the country—in due time. Historically, California has always been ferociously anti-gun, and the large proportion of Democrats in the state is the singular cause of this hostility to the 2nd Amendment.
To hear anti-gun liberals in the state put it, the latest round of increasingly tough gun-control bills making its way to Democrat Governor Jerry Brown's desk is just meant to apparently close a bunch of loopholes in the state's existing gun laws. They relentlessly assuage fears that these increasingly tougher gun-control bills are meant as a gun-grab against law-abiding gun owners. That's what they say, anyway. However, Democrats generally don't have a good track record when it comes to being consistent in what they say versus what they're trying to do.
If one glances at what California's Democrat-controlled legislature has already accomplished in terms of tougher gun control, it will provide a clue as to what's in store for the future.
To wit, consider the state's Armed and Prohibited or APP program. The aim of this program, at least on the surface, is to identify and then seize firearms from persons who are not allowed by law to possess them. In fact, the legislature was so impressed with the program that it recently passed a law that gave more resources to this program. It sounds good on the surface, but like so many programs administered by the government, the opportunities for abuse and getting innocent people caught up in them are great.
The APP program draws up a list of all the Californians who aren't supposed to have a firearm in their possession. However, gun-control watchers like Sam Paredes, from the Gun Owners of California, assert that this list is very badly maintained by the state government, meaning that a lot of people shouldn't even be on that list in the first place. In addition, only 33% of those on the list are even convicted criminals. Gun owners are concerned that government agents could invade the residences of law-abiding citizens who are on the list just because firearms they owned recently were banned.
The Californian nightmare for gun owners doesn't stop there, though. A radical environmental bill seeks to stop the use of lead ammo by 2019. Consequently, the bill could actually outlaw hunting since non-lead ammo would violate federal laws against armor-piercing bullets. While an amendment to that environmentalist bill apparently corrected the overreach, it is yet another confirmation that California's Democrats are aggressively taking the state into an anti-gun direction.
The gun-control fight is nowhere near dead, even as President Obama and his Democrats try to get the U.S. involved in a war with Syria. While the national gun-control fight may have stalled, the gun-control fight is still active in many local areas across the U.S.

Before his clothing line folded in 1998, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi starred in Unzipped, the documentary that took his high energy to the screen. Now he has moved it to the stage in a half-sung, half-spoken one-man show off-Broadway. Mizrahi's chief subject is his own glorious past, and he walks a fine line between charm and pathos when he brings out his first sewing machine and warbles about his need for attention His voice won't win any Tony Awards, but the show entertains because of the winning fussiness that made him a fashion legend. --By Benjamin Nugent

Norwich City-Fulham Preview EPL Headlines
(AP) -- LONDON (SE): Chris Hughton will take charge of Norwich City for the first time in a competitive match when the Canaries face Fulham at Craven Cottage on the opening day of the Premier League season. Hughton's success with Birmingham City in the Championship last season earned him a move to the top flight of English football, but the popular manager will have his work cut out if he is to replicate his new club's impressive performance under previous manager Paul Lambert. "I have no point to prove, the challenge is one which we as a club will have in the Premier League," said Hughton ahead of Saturday's game. "I am really looking forward to those challenges. "There will be a group of people who look at the objective as making sure we retain Premier League status, but there will also be some who will expect just what they saw last season. Ultimately we are in a group of clubs who will be fighting to make sure the prime objective is status in this division, then we'll see what happens." With a change of manager and a squad that has been disrupted by the Grant Holt transfer speculation over the summer, many are suggesting that it could be a case of second season syndrome for Norwich, but midfielder Bradley Johnson believes that the team will all be looking to push in the same direction once again this term. "The manager has brought his new staff in and it's the same as before - they want us to work hard and get in people's faces," said Johnson. "The way we play isn't going to change - we're a bunch of hungry lads and we all want to do the best we possibly can. "It has been a long and tough pre-season, but we have been working hard to stay in this league once again, and we've got our heads down, had a break, and we'll try to continue what we did last year. We had a good season last year, finished in 12th, and we want to kick on again, but the main thing is staying in the league." Fulham's top half-finish last season was the only time in the club's history that they have managed consecutive top ten spots in the Premier League, and with Hugo Rodallega and Mladen Petric brought in to add quality to the attack, the signs are promising for the Cottagers. However, much of the attention in pre-season has been focussed on last season's big money signing Bryan Ruiz, and the talented Costa Rican believes he is ready to really make an impact for Fulham. "I'm looking forward to the beginning of the season," said Ruiz in an interview with the club website. "Preparation has been good and I'm feeling strong. I want to avoid any injuries and play as much as possible this season. "My injury is in the past. I haven't thought about it as I have no pain. I'm just focusing on getting ready for the new season and I'm feeling really good." This is the first time that Fulham and Norwich have met in a season opener, and the Canaries haven't won their first match in any of the last nine seasons. The Cottagers are undefeated in the last ten meetings with Norwich - a run that stretches back to 1986 in all competitions. Updated August 16, 2012 |

This is a hard question for me too. I left home at 13 so I basically did not have parents through these years. There was no trouble per se at home but I just needed to live my life .. so I left ... I guess I try to give my kids the freedom to live "their" lives within the comfort of our home. I would like to keep them around a little longer than I stayed

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Ultimate Grand Canyon 4-in-1 Helicopter Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Our tour was everything we expected and more! Our pilot Miguel had a great personality and made the trip extra special.
Had a excellent time with John as our pilot, the weather was great, the scenery was amazing and the people were friendly. Would recommend Sundance helicopters to all my friends
Rosalie T
Pat was our wonderful pilot and gave us an amazing day trip. This tour was great and I definitely recommend it.
It was from the beginning till the end a great experience!! Steve was a great pilot.
Fantastic tour. Helicopter flight was brilliant and pilot was very good. Grand Canyon was amazing to see in the helicopter. Would defiantly do again
Just brilliant would recommend it to anyone!!
I highly recommend seeing Grand Canyon by helicopter. The ride from Las Vegas only 45 minutes, with helicopter pilot Heather, who was professional and competent. Flying over Vegas, Boulder City, Hoover Dam, and surrounding desert areas, before reaching Grand Canyon was beautiful. Flying over Grand Canyon was spectacular, then flying down and landing next to the Colorado river, 20 minute ride on a boat, was also fun. Next, we flew back up to the top to begin our tour of the Hualapai ranch, the skywalk was memorable, and after reading many other reviews about the wait to get onto the skywalk, was pleasantly surprised to be able to walk straight on to it. Lunch was also included, which was very nice with several options. We were also able to walk right up to the edge, which is fantastic, hardly any barriers, so be careful with kids.
We were picked up at our hotel at 0950, returned at approx 1730, so quite a long day, but it was jam-packed with beautiful views and activity. We did the tour on Jan 27, 2014. The weather was beautiful, but got quite cool after 1430, so make sure to take a jacket.
I believe this is the best option to see Grand Canyon, and even though I thought it was expensive when I booked it, you will be blown away, and it is so worth it.
This certainly was the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas. Our pilot Bob, was very knowledgable and fantastic with our three children. The views from the helicopter were fantastic.
Unsure of which company to choose, there are so many options for company's and tour types. So Glad we chose this one. Probably the most expensive, but definitely worth it. The company and all staff were well organised.The Pilot was helpful, gave us some good hints for on ground, which proved very worthwhile. loved every minute !. p.s. go in the morning, its nice n quiet.
Our tour guide was michael, he was fantabulous and we had a steady helicopter ride. We took the 6hr tour which included everything. The boat tour just went out along a straight length of the river, not much to see.The skywalk had to pay 80 to get the photo. The limo was shared with others, total 6.
Perfect X 10 What more can I say. Thanks for helping me cross another item from my bucket list
This was a truly memorable day. Well worth the cost. Pilot was friendly and informative. Lunch was underwhelming but did not spoil the day. Would recommend warm clothing even in November.
We loved it! Picked up by limo early in the morning from our hotel. Efficient and friendly staff at the airport. Helicopter trip was fab. Our pilot, Brad was very careful and considered and we felt very safe with him. He didn't say much, but there was recorded commentary and music along the way. Spectacular views over Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam and the general landscape was amazing to see from the air. Got a very good look at the Canyon, landing at the bottom for a short boat trip on the Colorado. Quite cold first thing in the morning, so take a jumper. As the sun rose over the Canyon, the colours were spectacular and I felt quite emotional (unexpectedly). After the boat trip the helicopter took us to the top of the Canyon where we met a shuttle bus and had a couple of hours between the three points of interest. Had our lunch at Guano point, which we enjoyed. Met the helicopter to travel back to Vegas, and had a great view of the strip as coming in to land. We thought this was expensive when we booked, but it wasn't really, it was a once in a lifetime thing.
It was my first trip to Vegas but the highlight of the entire weekend was the helicopter tour. To be able to experience this trip was a dream come true. From the start of the trip to the end was incredible. I enjoyed the limo ride to and from the airport. To be able to fly over Lake Meade, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon was breathtaking. I also enjoyed flying down into the canyon and taking the boat ride. It was a short ride but well worth seeing God's Creations. Eagle's Point and Guano Point's were both fantastic and great kodak moment opportunities. Oh.. and don't forget the skywalk experience. You can't take any personal belongings with you, including your camera,
but the view is worth seeing. The pilot gets KUDO's too for making it an amazing chance of a life time trip.
This would have to be one of the most memorable days in my life.
The pilot Travis was great, only surpassed by the scenery, which is one of the seven wonders of the world

I remember one time users in Europe were seeing garbled images on Google because a UK ISP had a buggy caching server. It took us a while to figure it out because we couldn't recreate it. Anyway, feel free to post more info and I'll be happy to ask around. Thanks!
Huh, I haven't heard any reports of problems. People who have had intermittent problems connecting: any common ISP being used? Do you have a static or dynamic IP? Any proxies that you know of? Was it prolonged or would a reload fix it? Are you using straight DNS, or have you hardcoded IP addresses for Google in your resolv.conf or hosts file? Gimme some details. :)

Helping hands are better than praying lips.

When you don't know what to do, just continue to trust in GOD, and know that HE is helping you. Persevere even when you feel like you can't.
When you're too religious, you tend to point your finger to judge instead of extending your hand to help.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Updated: 6:23 a.m. Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 | Posted: 8:56 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012
By Jeff Howe
The dust has finally settled on Texas' 2012 recruiting class, and there are some good memories you take from following the recruitment of a 28-man class.
There were terrific on-field performances, great interviews, and too many nuggets, stories and tidbits to possibly share in one sitting. That said, these are some of the special members of the Longhorns' class, and some post-signing day awards:
• Mr. Longhorn: Johnathan Gray. There's really no other way to describe him.
The five-star running back finished with more than 10,000 career rushing yards, set a national record for career touchdowns and broke Ken Hall's longstanding state record for career points. But he also was extremely professional and well-spoken in interviews and never bragged on himself, always putting the team before himself.
Gray's a great running back, but also a great person. In short, he's everything the Longhorns could possibly want in a signee.
• Best personality: Timothy Cole. Cole was a great interview. You also won't find a more outgoing member of the 2012 class.
One of his main goals during International Bowl practices was trying to make teammates laugh during on-camera interviews by dancing behind the camera. He looks like he'll be a tremendous locker room/team chemistry guy.
• Most likely to be an NFL draft choice: Malcom Brown. Defensive tackles are worth their weight in gold. Brown will have some special opportunities after his Texas career is done. He goes into most settings knowing he's the best talent on the field, but he doesn't coast.
• The sleepers: Orlando Thomas, Caleb Bluiett. I've had multiple coaches who coached against Thomas tell me they expect him to be a multiple-year starter at Texas because of his tools and physical talent.
And there might not be a more versatile player in the class than Bluiett, who could be a valuable asset as the team's long snapper as a freshman.
• Social media king: Cayleb Jones. Jones' Twitter account is one of the more active among this year's signees, and he uses social media to his advantage. How so? He broke his own commitment via a post on Facebook.
• Bevo Beast: Curtis Riser. The offensive lineman's nasty attitude is what Longhorns fans should love about him. He plays clean, but there's nothing better for him than being able to put a defender on his back and let him know he'll be back for more on the next snap.
• Most upside: Camrhon Hughes. Mack Brown noted Wednesday that Hughes weighed in earlier this week at 320 pounds.
He's 6-foot-7 with a lean frame, and has his best years of football ahead of him. His coaches at Harker Heights did a great job of molding the converted tight end into a top tackle prospect, but now he's under Stacy Searels' wing.
• Best story to tell: Kendall Sanders. Sanders told us this story about how he was sick during the fall and was expected to miss a game, but came out of the stands to play:
"I was sick and I just couldn't watch the team play that night. They were struggling. The coaches had my stuff in the locker room, so I just suited up at halftime and played. And I had a 90-yard touchdown scramble on my first play."
There's something you don't hear every day.

Cops Fatally Shoot Former FAMU Football Player Seeking Help After Car Accident
With the tragic verdict of Trayvon Martin still very fresh on our minds, you would think that people would try to get answers before "shooting a black man because he appears to be suspicious". Unfortunately, this was not the case when North Carolina police officer Randall Kerrick fatally shot an unarmed 24-year-old named Johnathan Ferrell after his car wrecked.
Ferrell was involved in a serious car accident, which caused his vehicle to be stuck in an embankment around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. He went to seek help at a nearby home and the resident called the police. Officers arrived to the home and it is reported that one cop fired several rounds because he perceived Ferrell to be a robber.
Officer Kendrick has been officially charged with voluntary manslaughter for the incident.

Il Ridotto: The Best Place to Eat in Venice
Just got back from Venice and a trip through other cities in Italy. I will not write much, but I had to write to let everyone know about this amazing place.
Il Ridotto is a small restaurant run by master chef Gianni Bonaccorsi. The restaurant has 4 2 person tables and 2 3 person tables. Gianni himself acts as waiter which makes this small restaurant even more personal. When giving the menu he goes through it to explain the changes because of what he could or couldn't get at the markets that day. His dishes are works of art and created from the freshest of foods. My meal which included an amuse bouche, antipasta, primi, secondi, and dessert totaled 75 euros (without wine (I had wine to and he has an amazing wine list). Now I know that is a lot (actually not a lot in Venice), but I got everything and that is not needed to recognize how special this place is. He brings you each dish and explains everything in it and how it was prepared. An artist explaining his work. I was there from open to close on a Friday night and there was one couple there before me and one tourist couple who came in quickly had some pasta (with coke and spoke on their cell phone (I wanted to kill them)). Shocked at how empty the restaurant was, before ordering dessert I asked him why he was in Venice and not in a food city of Europe or NYC or LA etc. We then had an amazing 20 minute conversation all about food and the nature of his restaurant and his desires for cuisine culture to hit Venice. He explained his love of cuisine and passion that came with his cooking. He said that he is always thinking of different combinations of vegetables, spices, meats, sauces...etc. It is his love. I can't tell you what an experience this was and how memorable it was for this man and amazing chef to speak so easily with an infatuated customer and be so grateful for the praise. I then had dessert and he brought a bottle of 15 year old port to my table and gave me a few glasses for free. He is a great man.
I was so impressed that I returned the next day for lunch. If the dinner is too expensive for you then the lunch is a steal! He has a menu for just 18 euros! You get a primi and a secondi and mineral water. And remember this is not cheap thrown together food these are artisitic amazing dishes. The price for lunch is an unbelievable bargain. I got a Fettuccine Ragu Piemonte style and then Sea Bass. He was again pleased to see me and I was grateful for the perfect cuisine and sanctuary his restaurant is.

I can not stress it enough...go to Il Ridotto.
I went to Il Ridotto tonight, but it was pretty disappointing. Expensive (€91 for one person, including three glasses of wine), pretty pretentious, service mediocre at best, indifferent at worst, and the food was in some cases interesting and subtle, other courses just odd or bland. I had a better experience last night at a nobody place in Dorsoduro, where the black cuttlefish was outstanding. I had the "lumachine di mare" first, which I thought was the best course: chewy whelks and fava beans in their sauce, great texture contrast and subtle flavor; then the spaghetti neri, which is black spaghetti salad, sea-urchins, glasswort and honey candied peppers. I thought it sounded a lot better than it tasted; overall it was bland. The entree was "Triglia al sale aromatico, "saor" e tagliolino croccante al ristretto di triglia" or Red mullets with aromatic salt, "saor" and thin crunchy "tagliolino" with red mullets restrict. The onions in vinegar (saor) are typically Venetian, but I didn't think they went with the mildly flavored red mullet.
Anyway, I could be persuaded on the food, but the service was definitely lacking. There was an older waiter who was warm, informative and attentive, but he had other clients and the junior staff were inattentive at best: I had to fill my own water glass, and went without wine for a course because no one asked. At this price point, I would expect far, far better.
re: ebuehrens
Thanks for the update. I could be mistaken, but the old man who was serving you was likely Gianni (the chef) himself. Not that it would have made a huge difference to your experience, but it is certainly a place where patience is rewarded. When I went, there was only hostess, a sous chef, and Gianni. Have things changed?
re: ebuehrens
"I had to fill my own water glass, and went without wine for a course because no one asked"
I may be making assumptions, but if you are American, then you may have exectations of service that won't be met in Europe. I would never expect waiters to fill my water glass, and very often they will not offer more wine - you will be expected to ask for it. That is the way service is in most of Europe. There are some top-end places which will insist on filling your wine or water glass, but - and this is just a personal thing - I really don't like it when they do.
This looked like a first choice for my wife's 40th birthday dinner at the culmination of a month in Europe, but their web address is expired, and emails bounce back.
Are they closed?
Any suggestions on a perfect romantic dinner for a lovely lady's birthday?
re: sibeats
If you have hotel arrangements, it may be easier to email your hotel to make the dinner reservations for you (I did this for one dinner in Florence). Also, it's not too early to make reservations; I made my March dinner reservations in January (esp since you'll be there during peak holiday season)....
re: NANCY
I would make reservations as far ahead as possible. I emailed to ask when I should reserve for July, and he said NOW! In fact, of my five dates in Venice he only had two available (a Sunday and Monday.) (It might be because we are there during a Festival--Rendentore.) But, now we are set with a Sunday dinner reservation.
re: Tuscanlover
yes I didn't understand that comment either--the whole thread is still relevant as Il Ridotto is still going and still popular (and still excellent, AFAIK) and the thread is only two years old, hardly "very old." Anyway I appreciate the clarified directions and I only commented because the thread was useful to me and it was on my first page.
Just returned from dinner at Il Ridotto and what a disappointment! We booked months ago based on the on-line reviews, however I'm not sure if we encountered a post Easter bad night or what?
Highlight, the waitress who was helpful and professional, and the complimentary appetisers. we shared the fish tartare appetiser, but i would say that, even shared between two, it was too much of a good thing (and there was a piece of bone) - thought it did look pretty.
First courses: GNOCCHI; four large stodgy underseasoned parcels - one or tow too many (even the couple sitting next to us who were sharing this as a course commented that it was too heavy). PRAWN RAVIOLI; again too much and all the edges were hard (as if the pasta had freezer burn and would not cook properly).
Mains: STUFFED CALAMARO; a flavourless stuffing with too much potato and the calamaro chewy. CODA da ROSPO; (the bronzino had sold out) a miserly portions, as much bones as meat with artichokes that were still woody.Having had wonderful meals in Paris: Clos des Gourmard, Atelier Joel Robuchon and Cafe Constant, all based on internet forum recommentaions, and having chanced upon a succulent octopus pasta at Quatro Feri on the Dorsoduro, Il Ridotto was a BIG disappointment. Would be interested to hear how other who have eaten at Il Ridotto more recently have found it?
re: RoseInVenice
So sorry to hear of your disappointment with Il Ridotto. It was our absolutely best meal in Italy last July (& we ate at many great restaurants) - we just loved the flavors and the presentation. We are planning on returning this July - hopefully all will be wonderful again. Would also appreciate hearing from others who have dined there more recently.
re: RoseInVenice
We first visited Violon d'Ingres in 1999 and thought that Catherine Constant was as fine for the front of the room as anyone we have ever met. She made everyone feel that the restaurant was built for them; it is no wonder that she and her husband, Christian, have become as successful as they have. He is superbly talented and responsible for several of the best dinners I have ever had. Honestly, at his best, he is a level (or two) above Il Ridotto. Frankly, as much as I love Alle Testiere also Christian Constant is still a notch above.
We thought that Il Ridotto had the same potential. I look forward to other's comments about their recent experiences.
L'Atalier? I was fortunate to visit it soon after it opened and am not quite as enthusiastic as you are although I am in the distinct minority. Since I wrote this I have been back twice and still have had the same reaction. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/2627...
Still, Il Ridotto is a different kind of experience, truly unique and individual. I hope that your's was an unfortunate and singular one. There are too few restaurants in the world where the chef cooks and serves so few people so well.
I just returned from Venice and put Il Ridotto in the same category as Al Covo and Da Fiori -- chefs who care, who are engaged with their patrons and who know well how to plate their passion. Gianni also owns the restaurant across the way from Il Ridotto, called Acciugheta. it's a much-larger venue serving well-prepared traditional venetian fare, with some dishes from other regions of italy. It's warm and welcoming, and you will find Gianni behind the counter making desserts that will be served at Ridotto that night. (I have a picture of him making the mandorle, which was moist, of tender crumb and packed with almond flavor and fragrance. He then gave us a bonus dessert of gelato made from Concord grapes.) Gianni calls Acciugheta the "mama" that supports his "bambino'' -- Il Ridotto. Mother and child are both splendid.
re: tbwenzlau
Just had a long, boozy, la carte lunch in Il Ridotto and it was simply magnificent. My wife and I were the only diners...HOW COME? The food was simply gorgeous, the attentive staff were friendly and welcoming, all in all a five star experience.
We started with an uncooked timbale of three Adriatic fishes, blended with herbs and citrus, accompanied with salmon roe and a mayonnaise and potato cream. Don't like raw fish? Don't be such a baby. Think of it as sushi, (only MUCH better), with an Italian twist. The best starter I have eaten in living memory...yes, that good.
My wife then had the shrimp ravioli, with a tomato sauce and a nugget of delicious mozzarella in the centre. Tasty shrimp, pasta cooked al dente, sauce was perfect and the mozzarella creamily delicious. I went for the stuffed squid with a vongole verace sauce, accompanied with some cavalo nero. Once again, cooked and seasoned to perfection.
For desert, (not a favourite of ours), my wife had lemon tart, topped with fresh fruit and accompanied by a cherry compote. Light, delicious pastry, creamy yet slightly tart filling. I went with the warm pistachio bake with a delicious semi-freddo side, (I forget the flavouring for the semi-freddo...but it was utterly moreish).
On the booze front, we both had Campari soda aperitif to begin and a bottle of delicious South Tyrolean Gewürztraminer with the meal. The chef/proprietor kindly gave us a complimentary glass of Moscato d'Asti with desert (delicious) and grappa with our coffee. Generous and friendly, it's the little touches such as this that make me happy but I worry about his profit margins. The last thing I want is for this place to go bust! Total cost for a couple of hours of gustatory bliss...€120.
My wife and I visited a well known Italian 'celebrity' chef's Michelin starred restaurant in London for our anniversary in November. I have to say that Il Ridottto beat it hands down on all fronts. There used to be a saying that you couldn't eat well in Venice. Well if this isn't eating well, I don't know what is!
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/354566 It was originally called Maison et Lauent when I made the above post. My wife and I were at Il Ridotto on Friday night as part of a week of binging in Venice. It was the highlight of the trip; in fact we liked it more than Alle Testiere. I'll have a lengthy commentary within a few days but one quick note: in the link I note the menu from '06 with prices. On Friday night all four of the entrees were $25 and most of the first courses were $20. The restaurant is a loss leader (although perhaps not an intentional one) with his real revenue coming from the adjacent wine bar and pizzaria, which had very good pizza by the way).
I should also add this clarifying note from the hotel when I made the reservation for Il Ridotto several weeks ago: "Il Ridotto" (www.ilridotto.com) is run by Gianni Bonaccorsi, who is the owner and the chef (like one yaer ago).
The "Maison de Laurent" was the ancient name of the restaurant when the chef was Lorenzo Bernardini, who doesn't work here anymore."Il Ridotto is in the exact same room but the chef and the menu is different.
Regardless, the sad part is that Gianni has been reviewed by Gambero Rosso (80), L'Espresso (14) and two others from the Italian Press but he is absolutely unknown by the American press. The real problem may not be his exposure to Americans coming to Venice. We were there for a week, our 12th trip in the last 16 years and there was virtually no one from the U. S. Hotels, restaurants, San Marco square-everywhere, countless Vapporetto rides-it was rare when we heard an American. I should also note that restaurants owners-even Alle Testiere which has been the most difficult reservation in Venice for years-told us business was off 25-30%, even for this which is normally a slower time of the year.
Anyway, more about this in several days.
re: Food Good
It's very close to Piazza San Marco. In the Piazza, facing the Basilica San Marco, go to the left of the Basilica and walk straight along the side of the Basilica. Keep going straight. You'll run right into Campo SS Filippo & Giacomo in 30 seconds, and that is where Il Ridotto is.
re: dcmetro
I do not know its hours. I know that I went for dinner on a Friday night and tried to make reservations for 930 and they requested 830. If you are going to have dinner there that is the time they prefer. They do not open before then I am sure as I was early and they werent open until just before 830. For lunch it is by far the best deal in town. I went around 1pm but I think they open at 1230. He is a great guy and he has the presentations of an artist. (If you speak french or italian it is best because his english is not perfect.) I truly can say that it was a great food experience. I live in Paris and Joel Robuchon is my favorite chef. This came pretty darn close if it did not pass it because of the interaction you have with the chef.

I said that Mondays would be personal and "all about me", so here goes.
But I'm afraid that this won't be a cheery post.
my mom died when I was 11. a little girl. I had just started the 6th grade. she died in october 1999. I was told that over the years the loss would get better i.e. I'd be able to cope with it better. but quite frankly, it does NOT feel that way.
What I have realized is that after the initial shock and tears I became numb. some things happened that I didn't like. and I realized even more how unconventional my mom was. and the more I missed her. I was also very angry and just didn't want to deal with my emotions so I buried a lot of the pain.
I miss her so much sometimes that the intensity and sharpness of the grief can sometimes come in sudden outbursts. or it can be as a result of not having good days. those days when all you need is a mom. but I have no one. she isn't here. not physically anyway.
I realize that I am not paying much attention to grammar here, since the emotions are so raw.
this year I've decided that I would face the unpleasantness in my life in order to let the light in. but I realize that once the light comes I get sad. because I really just wish she would be here to experience the good with me.
I wish she could meet the love of my life. I wish she could meet my future children. but that wont happen. and then it makes me realize that as I get older the loss becomes more profound.
how do you cope with losing your hero? the one you had planned to repay and appreciate and love unconditionally for all the sacrifices she made?
most people who haven't lost a parent may not understand. but those of you who have will. especially all the girls/women who lost a mom, especially so young.
I don't know what the point of this really is. but I just wanted you all to know how I am actually feeling AT THIS MOMENT.
and at this moment, I REALLY MISS MY MOM.

Wherever I lay my hat...
I've managed to get a last minute stand at the Bridport Hat Festival on this Saturday 17 September. The Festival runs for the entire weekend with lots of events from hat-making to musical, and promises to be a whole lot of fun. It is organised by the owners of the wonderful retro style Snooks Hatters in Bridport, Dorset. Do check out the websites by clicking on the names. I wanted to attend the inaugural event last year but it clashed with another date and for the usual memory-playing tricks (!) I had totally forgotten to enquire and book for this year. Phew!
My stand will be in St Mary's Church Hall from 10am - 4pm. The hall is at the lower end of South Street, (N.B. not West Street as I wrote originally) where on Saturdays there is a regular open-air antique and bric-a-brac market along the length of the roadside. I shall pile it high with millinery to delight the eye and flatter the visage of every young maid and elegant lady - with the odd titfer for milord. There's also a tea-room for a relaxed cuppa in between all the excitement.
See you there?

I have unlimited budget, unlimited client interest - the one limit I have is *time* and that's where Yahoo needs to help me. Figure out a way to do that (external editor would be a huge help) and it's win-win.
I have been screaming for this stuff for years. Like many of us, I started with Overture advertising before I started with Google. I have easily $75k/mo I could be spending with Yahoo on behalf of clients TOMORROW if I had an EASY way to port the hundreds of campaigns with thousands of keywords in. Probably more.
