For this fifty-unit housing project sited in Los Angeles, California, I designed a massing dictated by ninety degree angles. Upon my analysis of the site, which is located at Wilshire Blvd. and South Virgil Ave., I noted that the area is home to families of all types, so I created a building which lends itself to many unique unit arrangements while maintaining a monolithic aesthetic. Meanwhile, the foldng of the overall exterior form provides every unit with its own adjacent outdoor green space.

Bentham-Moxon Trust
The mission of the Bentham-Moxon Trust is to provide financial support for botanical collections and research that further the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The Bentham-Moxon Trust was founded in 1984 by bringing together a number of charitable trusts, all of which had the objective of supporting the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The first of these trusts was set up in 1884 with a bequest of George Bentham. Further gifts were made over the years. Since 1989 and establishment of the Foundation and Friends RBG, Kew, the Bentham-Moxon Trust no longer actively seeks new funds. The Trust retains its investments, currently in excess of £5 million, and makes grants out of its annual income.
The majority of the Bentham-Moxon Trust's funds are restricted by the wish of the donor. The largest are The Sainsbury Orchid Fund, that supports the Sainsbury Orchid Fellow, and the Krukoff Fund, that supports the Curator of African Botany. However, there are funds that generate annual income in the region of £60,000 from which the Trustees may make 30 to 40 grants.
In 2012 the Trustees made 25 grants totaling £55,000, ranging in value from £780 to £3,500, with an award to Jodrell Laboratories and HLAA of £8,000 for staff to attend the International Legume Conference (Johannesburg) and the Monocot Conference (New York). 16 grants were made for expedition and field research, 8 grants to overseas botanists to come to work at Kew, and one award for work in Kew Gardens.
These pages explain the activities the Trust supports and how RBG, Kew staff and other botanists/horticulturists can apply for grants.

So it's almost ironic that in "The Bourne Legacy," Gilroy (Academy-Award-nominated director of "Michael Clayton") pulls back the series' own curtain to reveal the deeper and wider machinations in a much larger conspiracy. And the director's job was not an easy one. "The Bourne Legacy," moves forward without its lead Jason Bourne and instead has to perform some akimbo side-step moves to introduce new antagonists and heroes. Starring Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton and Rachel Weisz, "The Bourne Legacy" is a multi-layered and fascinating expansion of the franchise's world and mythology.
The Playlist had the opportunity to talk to Gilroy at length several times over the summer. What follows is an abridged version of those conversations where Gilroy discussed the charged history of the old series, the challenge of mounting a new 'Bourne' series without Jason Bourne, his thoughts on the semi-controversial "enhancements" in the film, the death of the Oscar drama and much much more. For a feature article overview of from these conversations, you can read more of our earlier interview with Gilroy here.
I wrote on a lot of movies that I didn't direct. It was cumulative. I started working on "Michael Clayton" while I was writing on "Proof of Life" [circa 2000] and and then I came to 'Bourne Identity.' So I think 'Bourne' when it came along, interrupted the work on 'Clayton.' I was always doing 'Clayton' for myself. I had a script, several years earlier, this big paparazzi movie that I wanted to direct that didn't get off the ground, I didn't quite have the balls to put it together, I kind of wimped out on that.
So I had my eye on the door, but it wasn't... My fantasy after 'Clayton,' was I can write for dough on big movies and then every year and a half I can go make a really make a 'Clayton'-type small-ish drama. Who knew that that movie business would disappear. It disappeared instantaneously. By the time we finished "Duplicity" that middle ground of dramatic filmmaking -- that movie business was over. I don't kid myself at all, I think that movie business is gone and not coming back. It's like complaining about the weather, it's a fact. There will be festival films, there will be a way to live, where a movie like 'Clayton' gets made if you get a movie star like [George] Clooney to waive his fee, there will be exceptions for decades. But as a rule the middle class drama, ambitious drama, it's on TV. Everybody knows that, it's why TV is so great right now, they've got it.
Do you feel obligated to the previous Bourne films? Do you go in thinking about the pressure from three successes?
I really don't at all. For me, there were lots of different things for me to do. "Michael Clayton" changed my life [ed. it was his feature-length debut as a director/writer and it earned 7 Oscar nominations], I really lucked out to do the things that I did when I did them. The first blush of these first [new 'Bourne'] meetings were both exploratory and mercenary in some sense, you know? But all of a sudden we stumbled across the one thing we haven't touched on yet in this series.
So what's the basic difference between Jason Bourne and Aaron Cross?
There is something very fundamental and soulful and really emotionally powerful that's driving Aaron Cross, that was such a potent piece of character motivation, and such a fresh idea, it's like you go "Wow, this is a really big meal, this is something that actually interests me, and could hold my interest through the pain threshold of making the movie." You try to find something that will interest you and interest the audience. If you don't have a choice, you know, you, you need the paycheck or you just got divorced there's all kinds of reasons not to do it. But if you don't, if you're in a happy place, for me it was really, "Oh my god, there's a fire inside this that's really cool, and I think we can attract really amazing actors."
And to keep it fresh?
Well, everybody's doing Bourne. There's five things on TV exactly like that. That is an old party. It's time to leave the party, you don't want to be the last people out the door, so let's go first. Because if you try to just redo it, that's the "Super Bowl" thinking of cynical things. If we fail let's fail for doing something, really taking it out. So if you were looking at it as a dynastic thing we probably would have recreated what we had before.
What was the thing that made you cast Jeremy, why him?
We knew how complicated the part was. You really needed to have someone who could be completely socially nimble in one moment, and completely private the next. We knew it would be an emotional odyssey we were going to put him on. We also knew we were going to introduce story in a really unusual way, which is to sort of let it sneak up on you rather than announcing it at the top. So we needed an amazing actor, obviously. We also needed somebody who could just physically handle it and from all of the reports back on "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" [which 'Legacy' DOP Robert Elswit also shot], I was terribly impressed with how physical he was. I think he also got a close hand deal watching Tom Cruise work, and I think it was sort of a graduate program. So he's physically just good. We needed somebody that we could form, that was just sort of slightly unformed, that we could identify. So that was the venn diagram on what we were looking for.
That's true, he's just getting to that point, and you guys have the benefit of him being in 'Mission Impossible,' 'The Avengers' and this. That's a good sweet spot to be in. He did a lot of his own stunts, right?
Yeah, he's amazing. Almost to the point of having to take stuff away. He's very, very good. There are a couple of people out there that are like that, just really gifted actors, and movie athletes. It's really amazing. Let's put it this way, he didn't have to be that good to make it work. I'd never been that intimately involved with what it takes, it just makes it so much easier when a guy can learn his shit faster than the stunt guys can learn it. When he knows how to take care of himself and not get hurt and simplifying and improving and acting all the way through it, so that every step becomes a performance, in a way. We're very lucky to have him do that, there's only a couple of people that can do it.
concernedcitizenkane | August 11, 2012 10:38 PM
yeah, gotta say, none of what gilroy says about renner's character comes across in this movie...the idea that the whole movie is driven by the fact he needs pills, it's kind of dull, and hardly "greek". Damon's character, the amnesiac who doesn't know or wants to forget what he's done - that was compelling. Legacy felt to me exactly like a ghostwritten book of a ludlum or clancey novel - same basic universe/atmosphere, but none of the moral complexity or character development. And the ethics in this thing? totally out of wack. He kills like six manilan cops for no reason other than they get in his way. Couldn't root for that character. The only truly great scene in this movie was the lab scene - chilling the wake of colorado/wisconsin shootings, and wonderfully shot/staged.
molly | August 9, 2012 4:39 PM
"something very fundamental ... and powerful that's driving Aaron Cross" Yeah, he's a happy hit man and drug addict searching for his high. This movie is remarkable for the lead character's complete lack of moral center, especially when seen in contrast to Bourne. Yuck.

A.S. King won the L.A. Times book prize for young adult literature with "Ask the Passengers" on Friday night. Wearing the same high green boots Saturday morning, she stopped by our video booth at the L.A. Times Festival of Books to talk with features editor Alice Short about the inspiration for her young adult novel.
"As the Passengers" was the first book King had sold to a publisher before completing the manuscript, which added pressure to the creative process. "I guess it took me longer than I wanted, because I was on deadline," she admits. Interestingly, she has found that of her many books, this potentially controversial one has not provoked any ire.

Kicking the Meat Habit Has 10 Men and 10 Women Sizzling With Passion and Compassion
For Immediate Release:5 November 2012
Contact:Benazir Suraiya +91 9004547382; firstname.lastname@example.com Gupta 022 40727382; firstname.lastname@example.com
Engandiyur, Thrissur – The competition to be named People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India's Hottest Vegetarian Next Door is heating up, and 24-year-old Engandiyur, Thrissur, resident Vimal Das may just take home the prize. That's because Vimal has beaten out hundreds of other entrants from across India to become one of 10 male contestants to advance to the final round. Two winners (one male and one female) will be crowned PETA's hottest vegetarians, and both will be featured on PETA's website and receive a sash and a trophy.
"On average, vegetarians are slimmer and healthier than meat-eaters are – and they save more than 100 animals a year from factory farms, slaughterhouses and fishing nets", says PETA India nutritionist Bhuvaneshwari Gupta. "One look at our radiant finalists proves that there's nothing sexier than compassion."
"It takes around 9 Kilograms of soybeans to make just half a kilograms of beef", says Vimal. "Those same soybeans could help feed all the starving people in the world."
In addition to causing animal suffering on a massive scale, eating meat and dairy products has been conclusively linked to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer and obesity. Also, a UN report concluded that the meat industry is "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global".
The deadline for voting is 5:30 pm on 16th November . The winners will be named on 26th November.
PETA will select the winners based on several factors, including vote count. The full contest details are available on the group's website, PETAIndia.com
All visitors to PETA's website can vote for their favourite finalists to help PETA decide who should be crowned the winners.


text: Earlier this month, the US Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California [official website] ruled [JURIST report] that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) [text; JURIST news archive], a federal law barring same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional. The same-sex couple had tried to file for Chapter 13 joint bankruptcy for married couples. The court applied a "heightened scrutiny" standard but found it did not even meet rational basis review. Same-sex marriage continues to be a controversial issue among states. Also this month, a federal judge in California refused to vacate [JURIST report] an earlier ruling finding that Proposition 8 [JURIST news archive], California's ban on same-sex marriage, was unconstitutional. In April, the Delaware House of Representatives voted in favor of same-sex civil unions while the Indiana [JURIST reports] Senate approved an amendment to its state constitution banning same-sex marriage.

Medicine storage
Many people store their medications in the bathroom. But this popular spot is actually one of the worst places to keep medicine. Bathroom cabinets tend to be warm and humid, an environment that speeds up a drug's breakdown process.
This is especially true for tablets and capsules. Being exposed to heat and moisture can make medicines less potent before their expiration date. For example, a warm, muggy environment can cause aspirin tablets to break down into acetic acid (vinegar) and salicylic acid, both of which can irritate the stomach.
Instead, keep medicines in a cool, dry, secure place out of a child's reach. You may need to use a locked cabinet or box. If you must keep your medicines in the bathroom, keep the containers tightly closed. If you store medicines in a kitchen, keep them away from the stove, sink, and any hot appliances.
Consider refilling your prescriptions each month, instead of every 3 months to make sure they are still potent.
In rare cases, medicine that is improperly stored can become toxic. To prevent danger, follow these tips:
Be aware that children or adolescents can get hold of their parents' unused sedative or painkiller prescriptions and abuse them or accidentally poison themselves.
Throw out unused medicine safely and promptly by using the procedures recommended by the Food and Drug Administration. This includes placing medicines in a sealed bag in your trash, mixed with coffee grounds, kitty litter, or other inedible substances. You can also ask the pharmacist for advice on how to throw out old medicines. Use community "drug give back" programs if they are available.
Travelers need to follow these tips for safely storing their medications:

EDITOR'S NOTE: Life Behind the Pine Curtain is a series of anecdotes collected and edited by Herald-Press Publisher Gary Connor.
The Pentagon announced today the formation of a new 5000-man elite fighting unit called the East Texas Redneck Special Forces (ETRSF). These East Texas boys will be dropped in Afghanistan knowing only these five facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no bag limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
The Pentagon expects the problem in Afghanistan to be resolved by the end of the week.

A world traveler/gourmand convinced a friend of mine that Shula's is the best steakhouse in town. Now, there's a challenge a food editor can't ignore. So I dutifully agreed to meet my friend last night at the restaurant, which is in the Sheraton City Center Hotel on West Fayette St. I made reservations and spoke to a polite woman who took my information. The visit went downhill from there.
I should have known when I couldn't find the hotel's garage that the evening was not getting off to a great start. At this point, I should warn you not to go there in the next couple of days. I'll tell you why in a minute.
I circled the downtown blocks in frustrating rush-hour traffic and finally found the garage entrance on Baltimore Street. Miraculously, my friend pulled into the underground parking right behind me. It's not the most welcoming place. Eerily empty with low ceilings and pipes, I expected to see Scrooge's ghosts while trying to find the door to the hotel lobby.
After being innocently misdirected by a staff member to the 11th floor, we backtracked to the lobby and found the swanky steakhouse, which is next to Shula's 2 (its sports-bar counterpart). The casual spot was lively and bright. So you can imagine my surprise when we realized the upscale restaurant next door was dark and shuttered. What? On Shula's behalf, a pleasant manager explained that the main restaurant is closed till Tuesday. Hotel occupancy is low, another employee explained. OK, I just wish someone had told me before I made the trip there.
But that isn't the end of the story. After getting our parking tickets validated (thank you, Andrew), we headed back to the garage, only to find that there was no attendant on duty and you needed coin tokens to exit. We were trapped. We called a mysterious person on a garage phone, explaining our dilemma. The man who later came to our rescue was skeptical of our validated tickets (Hey, we're talking free parking versus $10!). He later relented and parted with some tokens so we could escape. I'll go back to the restaurant—but next time, I think I'll take a cab.
Of course, by now, we were starving. So where'd we end up? We opted for Pazo in the Harbor East-Fells Point area. I've never been so glad to see complimentary valet parking in my life. There is a Santa Claus.

9th trip to Hong Kong - Need something special and different
Hi Freinds,
I'm making my 9th trip to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks (I'm an engineer at a baby products company near Boston, USA and will be staying at Marco Polo Gateway) and looking for something I may have missed. Not something fancy and expensive as I have had most of those meals, just some recommendations of must-eats. I usually stick to small places with little english and bbq meats in the windows or outisde places in Mon Kok and Temple Street. What am I missing?
Vendros love top take me out to the fancy places, but I would loive to say "How about here" and surprise them as well? I'll be up in Guangzhou for a few days maybe and always eat like a king up there, but eating in HK always leaves me wanting the more authentic stuff and not the stuff just to impress your vendors.
not sure if this makes any sense, but best dumplings? best homemade noodles? best hot pot? Best goose or duck? Best street food...Best fresh seafood...
Thanks for any and all help
Mark Adamowicz
Hi Friends,
I'm heading back to Hong Kong on March 10.
Any advice on:
1. Eating at private kitchens
2. Yardbird or Ronin?Thanks,
Mark Adamowicz
Totally agree with klyeoh's recommendation on Tapas.
Ref: Ship22. I have no problem getting a seat if wait for them to open around noon.
Here are reviews plus pics of Ship22 by PhilD and myself.
re: Charles Yu
Hi Friends,
Not sure I am looking for tapas and my colleague literally just returned from 10 days in Barcelona and Madrid! She may have had her full of tapas.
I've never eaten anywhere in wan chai area and ill be spending most of Saturday roaming around art galleries in Central.
Thank you always for the help.
re: markadamowicz
What would you and your colleague look for: some place pretty hip/trendy (e.g. Bo Innovation's fusion-Chinese molecular gastronomy), or gritty and local like Under the Bridge's "typhoon shelter" crabs (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/821445)?
My fave eatery in all of Wanchai is Fu Sing:
re: klyeoh
Most folks go to Fu Sing for their "char-siu" (Cantonese caramelised, BBQ pork), one of the best in HK. At lunch, many will order its famous "char-siu po lo bao", a baked bun with crumbly-butter crust on top, filled with caramelised pork.
But I never fail to order these two dishes whenever I'm lunching or dining at Fu Sing:
- Braised pomelo skin with shrimp sauce (pomelo's a large grapefruit-like citrus fruit with almost inch-thick skin. Preparing and cooking the pomelo skin correctly is a rare art but a *very* traditional HK-Cantonese culinary skill). I personally prefer Fu Sing's version over those I'd had in HK's Michelin-starred/award-winning Cantonese spots like Tim's Kitchen, etc.
- Crabmeat noodles. This was singularly the *best* noodle dish I'd ever had in my life, irregardless of cuisine. The egg noodles would be served blanketed by a rich, thick, delicious custard-coloured "white sauce" with liberal amounts of fresh crabmeat. The "smallest" portion of the dish here was supposed to be enough to serve 4 persons (so I'm told each time by the waiters) but I always managed to finish *everything* on the plate myself. It's *that* food :-)
re: markadamowicz
強記美食 (Keung Kee) - this is a afternoon/evening eatery on 382 Lockhart Road, and has a very small menu. Steamed glutinous rice with soy sauce and Chinese sausage (like a non spicy salty chorizo) is great. Pan fried cheung fun with sauces is another wicked carb choice. They also have pork bone congee, pork rind and turnip (braised). As well as a pretty decent version of a SE Asian themed dessert (Zha Ja 喳咋) which is like a red bean soup. Keung Kee keeps irregular hours and if they feel like it they can close without notice. But it's one of the last neighborhood vibe no frills nitty gritty eateries.
Quemo is a pretty new Spanish restaurant on the 5th floor of QRE Plaza. One of the head chefs Quim, came from El Quim in Barcelona, and the 2nd chef worked at a Spanish restaurant in Beijing, Migas, and has previously worked for Ferran Adria.
Jardine de Jade (蘇浙匯) - looks really swank for a Shanghainese and environs regional Chinese restaurant.
信得過 Trusty Gourmet - 307 Jaffe Road. If you love pork innards, this is a specialist restaurant. "Yellow sand" liver, "butterfly brisket", and even almond pork lung soup (personal size).
陳勤記鹵鵝飯店 Chan Kan Kee braised/simmered goose - the flagship from Sheung Wan opened up a branch on Jaffe Road (past the spicy crab restaurants). Clean interior with menu in both English and Chinese. Very nice place.
Under Bridge may be the most well known spicy crab restaurant on Jaffe Road, but there is also 財記辣蟹 Choi Kee. Here's a video in Cantonese showcasing the two restaurants (Choi Kee and Under Bridge)
OK, heading back over for a week starting on March 1.
Any new places to check out. I may also be wandering around the Wan Chai area next Saturday. I am not familliar with this area at all. Would be interested in some recommendations.
Going to head up to see the Bug Buddha next Sunday (March 3) as well. Not sure what the food situation is in that immediate area either.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Adamowicz
Sutton, MA-
re: markadamowicz
For the Big Buddha, the only eatery maybe worth mentioning is the Buddhist restaurant directly under the statue. All the other food places there are more or less "one time only" establishments.
You can also go down to the fishing village, some old restaurants there, but cant really tell you about their quality.
re: markadamowicz
Seems that Spanish tapas is the in-thing these days. Catalunya (ex-El Bulli via Singapore) is currently the go-to place for such.
re: klyeoh
Catalunya is awesome!!!! Though it's getting difficult to get a reservation....another option for Spanish (no reservations taken though) is Ship 22 in Wanchai. There's usually still seats if you arrive around 6ish, but they only seat you if your whole party is there. Make sure to check out their daily specials!
re: markadamowicz
Oh, almost forgot! If you haven't been to Kowloon City yet, you should try to make it there. There are a lot of hole-in-the-wall places selling snacks (some Chiu Chow, Thai, and others). My favorite is the Muslim beef pancake at the Islam Food. (Good for takeout - it's like a large round juicy beef version of panfried gyoza/potstickers) http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr...
re: markadamowicz
You might also want to check out https://www.facebook.com/HomeDiningHk , it's a new group that offers homestyle dining hosted by local families. (Sorry about the multiple posts; I get too excited when it comes to thinking and sharing about food!)
re: markadamowicz
You can give 'Guo Fu Lou' in TST's iSquare a try! Serving some of the best Cantonese food in town. Great view if you can get a window seat!
Jun Yakitori has amazing yaki-onigiri (grilled yakitori) and other yakitori options (grilled meats and veg on skewers).
It is on Hillwood Road in TST. (Check for it on Openrice.com, which recently launched an English version.)
re: vorspeise
OK, heading back over....staying at the Royal Garden is East TST area....I've been staying off Canton Rd for the last decade and don't know much about East TST for good eats....any help appreciated.....or any new places in Kowloon/TST etc appreciated as well.
Mark Adamowicz
re: markadamowicz
Have you tried eating in the restaurants / cooked food markets on top of the indoor wet markets (aka Municipal Service Buildings)? The ones on Des Voeux Rd (Sheung Wan/Queen St Cooked Food Market) and the Java Road have some good restaurants.
If you like dai pai dong you can try the ones in Fo Tan, near the bus depot at Shan Mei Street . Chun Chun is popular for roast/BBQ pigeon. It's a bit far to travel from HK island but has a real New Territories/old school HK feel.
re: markadamowicz
Nothing new on the Chinese food front. However, a couple of world class western cuisine restaurant with Michelin star potential have opened up recently. One is 'Cepage' in WanChai, a creation of Singapore's Les Amis group. The other is 'Cafe Gray Delux' inside 'Upper House' the new hotel above Pacific Place in Admiralty. This is the creation of Gray Kunz of ex-Lespinasse and Michelin 1* Cafe Gray, NYC's fame. Both have been receiving rave reviews from foodies.
re: Charles Yu
Hey Charles, can you point me in the direction for the Cafe Gray reviews? I've been there twice now but both time only for drinks and not for food. The view there is SPECTACULAR. Reviews on Openrice seem positive but not necessarily rave reviews. Want to give the place a go but want to do a little more research beforehand. Thanks!
re: markadamowicz
markadamowicz, on your next trip to HK (12th or 13th trip?), try Lei Yuen Noodle & Congee Restaurant on 539 Lockhart Road. In Causeway Bay, it's situated right behind the Sogo Dept Store: "hole in the wall" - check; "best noodles" - check. I've been going back again & again for more than 20 years. Nice to know that some things never change. Read more here:
markadamowicz, I guess after numerous trips, you'd be familiar with Cantonese food by now, and may want to delve deeper into sub-regional Cantonese cuisine. For this, try Lok Sau Sun restaurant in Tsimshatsui near Jordan MTR) which specializes in Cantonese food from the "Shun Tak" district. They do a great claypot fish-head dish which is carried sizzling to the table, where you peel off the aluminium foil cover to release an aromatic cloud of deliciousness!
If you're not into fish-head (I loved fish-eyes, lips & other gelatinous bits), you can go for the pork-ribs with sweet-sour sauce, which is also very good.
Other dishes to try there:
- fish balls coated with noodles, served with a clam dip;
- various stuffed vegetables: capsicums, lotus root, etc;
- steamed catfish with salted black beans.And don't miss those famous Shun Tak desserts like flower-herbal jellies and double-boiled milk puddings.
Lok Sau Sun
1-5 Tak Shing Street Hong Kong-
re: Charles Yu
Not really, Charles - it's just that I have a bunch of HK foodie friends who know how much I sometimes liked to chowhound for lesser-known, hidden gems, away from the beaten path. The challenge is to find really authentic places, with their jealous bunch of loyal regular customers, keeping their precious gem of an eating place close to their chest, way from the greedy hordes. Shun Tak is such a place - located in a little alley, but perpetually full - you'll need to book ahead.
re: markadamowicz
Hi friends,
I'm heading over to Hong Kong next Monday. Any last minute suggestions. I realize I spend many nights roaming around Mon Kok and Temple St. night markets....any suggestions around there....how over in Central and (I know, I know) LKF area....
Thanks and will report back when I am back....and some dispatches as well during my trip
Mark Adamowicz
re: markadamowicz
Try Fu Sing in Wanchai:
The restaurant's located equidistance from either Wanchai or Causeway Bay MTR stations, or else a HKD50 taxi ride from Tsimshatsui.
Fu Sing
353 Lockhart Road Hong Kong -
re: markadamowicz
For some authentic 'home style wok-hey' Cantonese cooking, try ' Cho Choi Koon' at the SE corner of Nathan Road and Jordan Road on Kowloon side. ( next to a Malaysian restaurant ). Rave reviews including tons from celebrities! The stirred fry pigs liver and innards with ginger and spring onions is to die for! Very reasonable prices too. The aforementioned dish for example costs only HK$48.
Have a nice trip!-
re: Charles Yu
I'd forgotten all about the Malaysian Chinese Restaurant on 12 Jordan St till you mentioned it, Charles.
That place itself is worth checking out because it offers very unique HK-style Malaysian-Chinese food, i.e. nothing you taste there can be found in Malaysia itself! The curries are mild, cooked HK-Cantonese style. They also have a shaved ice dessert with red-beans & evaporated milk, a local interpretation of Malaysia's ice-kachang.
The restaurant's got a very retro-70s feel though.
re: markadamowicz
Or 'Cho Choi Koon' (cnr Nathan & Jordan Rds) which is oft-repeated by Charles Yu ;-)
re: klyeoh
Another Chowhound found this place (without knowing what it was called initially):
Tso Choi Koon
10 Jordan Road, Hong Kong , HK-
re: klyeoh
Inspired by this thread, I went to Tso Choi Koon last week and had Charles Yu's recommended dish: Stir-fried mixed pig's innards...
Wonderful wok-y flavor, light, not-at-all greasy sauce, spring onions with nice seared spots on them, and then this amazing trio of textures: corkscrewy stomach lining (?), earthy pig's liver, delicate tubing of some sort ;-)
Here are a few photos:
re: markadamowicz
OK, the Malaysian place was closed and the place next to it was not names Cho Choi Moon.....?
Also, I looked for Lok Sau Sun and found two places, no english whatsoveer, so didn;t know which was right. One was a one room restaurant and the other looked a little fancier (I was wearing shorts so didn;t head in). Either one could have been the address "1-5"....any advice....
Ended up eating outside at Temple Street (at Spicy crab0 and had scallops in the shell with black bean sauce and some fried noodles and pork. Alos had some apple/celery/carrot/bitter melon juice, some octupus on a stick and just bought a few branches of what I think is lychee. As always, can't go wrong here with food.
re: Charles Yu
Right - now I know why I was looking for the wrong name.
Went to Haiphiong Road today and ate in the temporary market. My friend found a cockroackh in his beef brisket soup....he got a new bowl and lunch continued without incident. VERY good. Bugs aside. Goit some vegetable with bean curd as well....a new taste for me.
Here's a few pictures
Mark Adamowicz
re: markadamowicz
markadamowicz, Lok Sau Sun has this HUGE sign (but in Chinese only, I think) which extends horizontally across Tak Shing St. I nearly snapped a photo of the restaurant front when I passed by it a couple of weeks ago (during a short visit to HK) & post the photo on CH - thought it might help non-Chinese readers. Will do that next time!
BTW, if you take Exit E coming out from Jordan MTR station and walk along Tak Shing St, the restaurant is on the right-side of the street. It's 3 minutes' walk from the station.
Thanks for all of the recommendations. I appreciate it very much.
I've seen every episode of every Anthony Bourdain show/series, so the HK show was great to watch. Never did figure out where to get those homemade noodles though.
Thanks agian and the private dinner idea sounds awesome. May have to get a vendor to look into that.
re: markadamowicz
Where to get the homemade noodles from the Bore-dain episode? At Mr Ping's noodle stall:
Ping Kee, 2/F Tai Po district market, Heung Sze Wui St, Tai Po, Tel 2658-4567Tai Po is a long way to go to noodle stall. If you're staying at the Gateway, here are a few not-fancy but tasty options within a couple minutes walking distance.
Din Tai Fung, excellent dumplings (especially the crab xiu long bau) and other simple fare in a very well-run branch of a famous Taiwanese restaurant. Come very early, or line up. 3/f Silvercord, across the street from your hotel.
In the basement of Silvercord Mall, there's a good Asian food court.
Just up Canton road in the China Ferry Terminal building (aka China HK City) there's a weird little food court called 'Gourmet Express'. The good thing is it has a branch of Mak's Noodle, arguably the most famous (and tiny) wonton in HK. I prefer their brisket noodles. There's also a a good Thai-style chicken rice place there.
Down Haiphong Rd in the Temporary Market (ask your hotel for directions, it's close but not obvious) there's the most famous beef ball noodle stall in HK, called Tak Fat. No air-con, no English sign, but it's the place with the orange bowls.
For HK-style BBQ, Guangdong BBQ (43 Hankow Rd) is famous, close by, and their meat is excellent. But they can be staggeringly rude to westerners, and to anyone else, for that matter. A better and closer bet is Hing Fat, 8 Ashley Rd, which has a very extensive menu.
re: HKDave
Din Tai Fung is an over-priced chain (39 branches at last count) that can be found anywhere in Asia (as well as Los Angeles and Sydney), so it's not exactly an experience that speaks "Hong Kong."
I haven't worked in HK since 1997, so I am not in touch with what represents the best in local products these days, but if the OP wants to eat xiaolong bao I would suggest Wu Kong; the cuisine may be Shanghainese, but it's been around long enough to have become a Hong Kong institution.
re: markadamowicz
During Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation Hong Kong show, he visited a Chinese B-B-Q place in Tai Po, New Territories for roast goose and suckling pig. Well, at the other end of the street is one of HK's best place ( Kwun Kee ) for ' Braised beef Brisket and Tendons'. However, if you are really adventurous, they also offer ' cow's penis'. Unique enough for you?
Next to this 'beef specialty' store is a small outfit that serves one of HK's best Tofu dessert. A nice refreshing bowl for only HK$5.
Both places were visited by myself and Singapore Chowhound Fourseasos during our mini-chowmeet a couple of months ago. That was after our lunch at Tai Wai's Fung Lum where we gobbled down a roasted pigeon each as well as some incredibly delicious 'Fried live sea prawns with peppered salt'!
Have a nice trip!-
re: Charles Yu
Cow penis - I am up for that. Most of my HK vendors think I am crazy. Most of my mainland China vendors thing I am adventurous....
I've had pigeon at the HK Macau restuarant chain (owned by one of Stanley Ho's wives, forget the name, near Guangdong BBQ in TST) the last 5 times I've been over....tasty stuff
I had silkworms, water beetles and bee larvae from forest bee's nest in Guangzhou on my last trip....that was some cool stuff.
Funny that I still get offers of KFC and McDonald's over there and haven't been one in the US in over 10 years.....
re: Charles Yu
I am going to pass on that. One time I was in the Shunde area and came back froma meeting and to my horror the conference table was filled with McDonald's.They thought they were doing me a favor.I ate it to be polite and then explained afterwards I would prefer to eat at the canteen for all future in-house lunches!
re: Xiao Yang
Agreed that Din Tai Fung (DTF) is not a true Hong Kong experience, but the branch is a lot better than the ones in LA and Sydney. It's not as good as the original in Taipei, but it's still very good (skin is firm but paper thin, meat is tasty, soup is plentiful) and unbelievably consistent. That said, I've tried the ones in Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore as well and they're comparable to the one in Hong Kong, so if you visit those locations, you might want to skip the one in Hong Kong.
Wu Kong on the other hand has gone considerably downhill in the past 10 years. The times we've been there the service staff has been incredibly rude, food has come out cold and disappointing, vegetables were extremely oily, and desserts we ordered were clearly not fresh. In fact, the only thing redeeming about this place is the restrooms which are quite nice.
re: HKDave
I better withdraw my recommendation for Hing Fat. I went there tonight and was charged a rather astonishing HK$48 for tea! I'm a local and they've never charged me this before (I live nearby and have eaten there often; this wasn't even my first time there this week), but it turns out they do have this absurd price at the bottom of the menu cards on the table. So unless you want to fight, you have to pay. Yet another good old-fashioned HK rip-off, aimed at tourists, but this time it caught me as well.
have you been to the private kitchens yet? it is a very HK thing, dont think you get that anywhere else - basically privately owned restaurants, quite often literally set up in a flat. you can bring your own wine etc - some no corkage, but some do charge - check before you go. One of the best is Da Ping Hou
It is sichuan food, very good, very spicy. Very reasonable for something like 13-15 small courses. And at the end the chef comes out and sings chinese opera - 2 sittings 7.30 and 9. Enjoy!
http:///www.winglaiyuen.com.hk/ They say the Wong Tai Sin location is the better of the two, but I did go to the Whampoa location and it is very decent. Try their dan dan noodles, limit one per person per visit. I used to eat at the old Diamond Hill location in the 80s as a kid. While you are there, get a side of the steamed pork leg bacon with sichuan chili oil (yunan bacon). It's damn good. Or find 3 buddies and get the Sa Wor won ton chicken soup (minimum 4 in your party to order one).
If you're a fan of Anthony Bourdain's show No Reservations, this blogger took him on many eating trips, who is a local food and gourmand in his own right (of local stuff that's simple and not tablecloth fancy high end). Tons of listings to choose from off the beaten path.
A couple of places with 'wow' Chinese dishes that imbedded in my mind include a place with no English name - ' Heung Kong Shui Yuet' ( Cantonese pronounciation ) situated on the east side of Nathan road between Austin Road and Hillwood Road. Their 'fried ho-fun aka rice noodle with frog legs and black bean sauce' is simply awesome! Never knew black bean sauce can taste THAT good! Another great place, own by the famed HK food critic ' Choi Lan ' is ' Cho Choi Koon ' at the corner of Tak Hing Street (SE corner of Jordan Road and Nathan road). Its next to a Malaysian restaurant. Their 'Stirred fry mixed pig's innards with scallions and ginger' is one of the most delicious dish I have ever tasted. The pig's liver was simply out of this world! After having eaten great food in numerous Michelin stars restaurants all over Europe, Japan and America, that speaks a lot!!! BTW, both restaurants are in the Jordan disrict of Kowloon. Happy chowing!
re: Charles Yu
i remember reading this post back last august. I never did figure out the first place you were talking about.
Do you by any chance know the address or the chinese characters for the name?
i'm trying to deduct on openrice, and nothing seems to match.... except some fancy 300+ place, but the name seems really off. I'd like to try those frogs legs before i leave in 9 days.

Decent camera before July (budget: £500)
I'm in the market for a decent camera - at least, from the perspective of someone totally new to photography. It can be purchased any day before the second week of July and will be used for travelling and family events. I figured, the longer I wait, the more chance of a bargain on this season's cameras or the chance to buy a better/newer camera released sometime between now and July.
I plan on budgeting around £500 or so for it. I don't really mind what kind of camera it is, so long as it doesn't take a proper photographer to snap decent pictures with it. Of course, I'd like to humour myself by playing with some of the advanced features that are probably well over my head and I'm willing to learn. I currently use a Panasonic compact camera which is good. But with the purchase of an iPhone 5, it's practically redundant now (except the zoom which I never really use). I just want to take good pictures with real colours and clarity (whatever that means). Could you please provide some insight on suitable cameras for my needs: one that offers a balance between ease of use and advanced features to tickle my geeky side, one that won't advertise me as a paparazzi and isn't too ghastly looking. |

I too am more of a dabbler in photography, and after research, felt that the Sony NEX series was up my alley. Why don't you check that out?

It will - it's a decent camera. BTW, what lens do you plan to purchase? If you often take self-portraits together with your wife, 28mm (equiv.; that of the 18-55mm kit zoom) may not be sufficiently wide (and the 16mm prime isn't particularly good). Then, you might want to consider the NEX-6 and its 16-50mm zoom. The kit is somehwhat more expensive than the NEX5R (even if you purchase both the 16mm and the 18-55 for the latter) and has basically the same IQ; however, it's significantly better-featured (e.g., EVF) and, assuming you use the 16-50, more compact and you can avoid having to swap lens when you need 24mm equiv. (The 16-50mm is far smaller than the 18-55.) |

You might want to consider any of the Olympus PEN or OM-D cameras. These are the newest trend, mirrorless so-called "four-thirds" format. Many pros are using these as second or personal cameras, as alternatives to the larger, heavier dSLRs. Compared to dSLRs, they are lightweight, compact, much less expensive, and take pictures every bit as good as the SLRs. They also use interchangeable lenses, so you can have some variety and creativity in your shots. From a business standpoint, these cameras outsell dSLRs in Asia, if that means anything.

Speaking of lens, probably the biggest problem with m43 is the lack of a decently-priced but still high quality (ultra-)wideangle (24mm) lens. All traditional kits (those of both Oly and Pana) start at 28mm equiv. (Not really the best for self-portraits.) Pana's 12-35 absolutely excellent (starting at equiv 24mm) costs around $1000. (It's a MUCH better lens than anything wideangle zoom existing for the NEX system.) Oly's 12-50 kit isn't expensive (around $300) but its IQ is considerably worse than even NEX's lens - and it's pretty slow even when wide open. If the somewhat larger size isn't a problem and I needed to pick a m43 model, I would also take a look at the Pana GH2. It has considerably better IQ than any Oly m43 cameras (except for the OM-D, of course) and can be had for relatively cheap now with the GH3 out. |

Unless you plan on getting more lenses the Sony RX100 is one of the best P&S cameras out there, also very portable.
That said, I have a NEX-5N and it's fantastic and flexible but on a recent trip to England I swapped lenses and got some stubborn pollen on the lens (photos in my blog). The NEX are small and the newest powered zoom kit lens is very compact, the NEX 3N has this new lens, the 5R has the old kit lens. |

If you're not prepared to figure out how to take a decent photo, there's no point getting anything more than a decent point and shoot.

There are questions you need to ask yourself first. What type of photos do you intend to take? Are interchangeable lenses a requirement or will a reasonable zoom work ok? Do you need excellent image quality for making large prints or will they only be used on-line? Do you want full creative control over the image or are you willing to let the camera do the work?
Use the time to think about it and it will give you a better idea of what models to consider.

Also, one piece of advice: get your camera early enough before your trip so you can play with it, learn how to use it.
Don't wait too long for a "good deal" or the next new thing to be released. There are always deals, and always something new just over the horizon. Get something that will work for you, and give yourself time to learn with it.

A new DPReview NEX-3N preview: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/474...nds-on-preview
The IQ of the camera is great and the size, with the 16-50 kit lens, is really small - MUCH smaller than, say, the Oly E-PL3 with its kit lens. |

if you don't need a DSLR then I would buy another Panasonic.
Amazon USA has alot of deals for the Panasonic GX1, GF3 and GF5s (GX2 and GF7 is coming), maybe Amazon UK is going to follow, check it out. I think these Panasonics are also easier for video then a DSLR. http://www.43rumors.com/ |

The directory is a source of information, not a prized pagerank giving oracle as some view it. I think they should follow wikipedias lead in this case. Take that with a grain of salt because I also believe that websites using google maps should nofollow the link of the map itself. Those maps show up on your site but they are "retrieved" via a normal links which passes pagerank to google, yeah, like they need it. To paraphrase Matt Cutts, if your site isn't about maps, nofollow that Google map because its off topic!
nofollow belongs in many places, dmoz included imho.

Why leave out eDirectory?
2003-06-03 07:27:53 anonymous2 [View]
There's a problem with this:
"Novell's DirXML product will synchronize eDirectory data stored on a Linux server with [AD] data *stored on a Windows server...*"
We want Linux/UNIX and legacy Windows desktops to connect to UNIX/Linux servers, so what's the point in giving companies an incentive to buy another Micro$oft server? Any Linux/UNIX directory service, if it is to be compatible with AD, needs to be able to run AD *itself*.

QlikTech Announces First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures under the heading "Business Outlook". These non-GAAP financial measures were determined by excluding stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assuming an estimated long-term tax rate of 32%. We are unable to reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of these adjustments. In addition, these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures assume that foreign currency exchange rates for the second quarter and full year 2012 will approximate current foreign currency exchange rates.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in QlikTech's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of QlikTech presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our historic non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided below.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
It has been years. Years of thinking, accumulating, mailing, writing, and drafting. But I have finally made some clear decisions about "my writing project," as I've been calling it. I have had a novel and a chapbook published in the traditional way: submission, acceptance, editing, promotion. But I've been wanting to do…

Our research focus is the advancement of flow cytometry and related biophotonics techniques. We have a particular interest in the excited-state dynamics of fluorophores, proteins, and particles when combined with cellular analyses. Our laboratory conducts transiently measured fluorescence decay experiments, and we are continuoulsy exploring the following general areas:
- Flow-cytometry: analysis, sorting, applications thereof
- Time-dependent photonics: fluorescence decay kinetics, phase-filtering
- Biomaterials: reporters for Raman, Raleigh scatter, and fluorescence
- Cytometric molecular imaging: in vivo diagnostic systems
- Image and digital signal processing: DAQ and computational methods
Through combinations of the technologies listed above, we ask questions related to issues with in vitro cellular systems such as (i) can intrinsic transition state kinetics provide new ways to characterize, spearate, sort, and analyze populations of cells; (ii) how can one best tailor time-dependent assays to better exploit or suppress autofluorescence, extrinsic fluorescence, or Raman signals, and (iii) will rare events and new fluorescence decay phenomena be revealed with such high-throughput techniques?
Thank you for visiting our website!
If you have any further questions about our research, please contact Dr. Houston at (575) 646-5563 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
