text: Thermal-Aware Task Allocation and Scheduling for Embedded Systems W-L. Hung, Y. Xie, N. Vijaykrishnan, M. Kandemir, and M. J. Irwin The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA {whung,yuanxie,vijay,kandemir,email@example.com} Abstract are both guided by ASP. Our task allocation and scheduling procedure is similar to the one proposed by Xie and Wolf [1]. Temperature affects not only the reliability but also the The ASP takes the task graph and architecture (either pre- performance, power, and cost of the embedded system. This defined platform architecture or a customized architecture paper proposes a thermal-aware task allocation and scheduling generated via co-synthesis) and a target library as input, and algorithm for embedded systems. The algorithm is used as a generates the task mapping and scheduling on the target sub-routine for hardware/software co-synthesis to reduce the architecture. The target library stores the worst case power peak temperature and achieve a thermally even distribution consumptions (WCPC) and worst case execution times (WCET) while meeting real time constraints. The paper investigates for a task executed on different PEs. both power-aware and thermal-aware approaches to task The static criticality (SC) for each task is calculated as the allocation and scheduling. The experimental results show that maximum distance from current task to the end task in a task the thermal-aware approach outperforms the power-aware graph. This is similar to the priority ordering in some list schemes in terms of maximal and average temperature schedulers. The dynamic criticality (DC) calculation is based on reductions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first task four different factors and will be defined in section 2.1. allocation and scheduling algorithm that takes temperature into The traditional allocation and scheduling algorithm is consideration. effective on finding the task mapping and scheduling that satisfy the deadline requirement. However, it neglects the temperature 1. Introduction impacts during the process. To account for this problem, we introduce power/energy aware ASP and thermal-aware ASP. Traditional allocation and scheduling routines use performance or power as the design metric in 2.1 Power-aware allocation and scheduling Hardware/software co-synthesis [1]. As technology scales, Since temperature is closely related to the power density, in temperature in modern high-performance VLSI circuits has power-aware allocation and scheduling, the power/energy factor moved up dramatically due to smaller feature sizes, higher is involved in the process of calculating dynamic criticality. packing densities and rising power consumptions. Temperature Therefore, the DC equation is defined as follows: affects not only the reliability but also the performance, power, DC (task i , PE j ) = SC (task i ) − WCET (task i , PE j ) − and cost of the embedded system. At sufficiently high temperatures, many failure mechanisms (such as max ( avl. _ PE j , ready _ task i ) − Pow electromigration and stress migration) are significantly The first term stands for the static criticality of the taski; the accelerated, resulting in reduced system reliability; interconnect second term retrieves the WCET of this taski executed on PEj delay increases and MOS current drive capability decreases as from the technology library, and the third term takes the chip temperature increases. The leakage power increases maximum of PEj's available time and taski's ready time.

Therefore, even though it is related to the power-aware design area, thermal-aware design itself is a distinct and important research area.

The distribution of local blocking temperatures (TBi) in an exchange-coupled half-metallic-Fe3O4–antiferromagnetic-Cr45.5Mn45.5Pt9 system (in atomic %) was investigated, with the aim of confirming thermal stability of unidirectional anisotropy induced in Fe3O4 film, which has hard magnetic properties. The distribution of TBi was mostly at or around 265 °C. This distribution in the Fe3O4–CrMnPt system was equivalent or superior to that found in a previously studied soft magnetic-Ni81Fe19–antiferromagnetic-Pt50Mn50 system, where PtMn had been used in a giant magnetoresistance device as the standard antiferromagnetic material for the exchange-biased layer. These results make it reasonable to conclude that the exchange coupled Fe3O4–CrMnPt system has excellent thermal stability.

One of my all-time favorite books is Georges Perec's Life: A User's Manual, and for
months years, I've been meaning to reread it.
Well, starting sometime soon, Conversational Reading will be hosting a Big Read of Perec's classic novel.
No real info up there yet, but as soon as the schedule is announced, I'll post it here. It's been ages since I participated in an online book club, and I'm a bit psyched . . . Mostly just to reread Life, but also because Scott does such a great job of getting interesting content about the title under discussion. (I'm not-so-secretly hoping to contribute something myself.)
If you're interested in joining in, be sure and get a copy of Godine's revised edition of the book. This version contains some corrections, etc.
For more info about the new edition, and Perec in general, be sure to check out this interview Scott conducted with Godine editor Susan Barba.

Question & Answers
Answer from: Kungsfutom556
Use sidewinders
Answer from: Nipper
There is no sure fire way of beating him, it will take some skill. you're best off using a quite slow car (not too slow or it won't be accepted). add the sidewinders or the mining scoops (the stig cannot use those) the rest is up to you. you do not have to beat the stig you just have to get close to his time. good luck!
Answer from: Lord Stigington
I managed to beat him in a regular apc with no modifications, i did finish behind him but still got gold, and with the tank he kinda screws up at hammerhead, so i would recommend using the apc but not modifying it. i got the f1 car with it on my first race against him with the apc so give it a go :)
Answer from: Phatdoctor
You use modifications that go on the side of the car I.e sidewinders as the stig will use things on the top or on the rear so if you have things on top/rear the stig will you it at the start so use the sidewinders some where it is straight e.g follow-through
Answer from: Tom
No matter by how far you beat him .. I have personally beat him twice once with an suv and once with the race car .. The time recorded always says that he beat you .. With the racecar i eat him by a good second and then the timer said : stig ; 1:05.49 and my sime said 1:05.50 evene though i beat him in actual fact
Answer from: matt 4904
Firstly you need to be good and secondly use truck with super v8 engine he screws up hammerhead really bad
Answer from: Olly 1999
The mini car with the mining scoops do good but change the wheels to a strong one . there is the side rockets but be careful not to blow yourself up. The super v8 is a good one to beat him at hammerhead (make sure the mining scoops r on aswell, use at the hammerhead to stablise). With those u should be good. GOOD LUCK :0)

Pretty Little Liars Photo Preview: FIGHT!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
When Pretty Little Liars returns for the back half of its second season, all will not be well between these young women.
No, we're not just saying this because the official ABC Family synopsis says the gals will be "at each others' throats." We're saying it due to the following photographic evidence, as the network has released a slew of pictures from "Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares."

text: Hans- Mirror, Machine and Method ActingHans.This name has created highly polarized views among those who have watched "Frozen". Some express sympathy with his character and background, some decry him of being an unforgivable and manipulative person, others view the writing of his character as one of the biggest flaws in the movie. While there is still a huge debate going on regarding Hans' character and what people should feel about him, one thing is certain: Hans is a very unusual Disney character. He is neither a typical Disney prince nor a typical Disney antagonist.So what kind of person is Hans in truth? To begin with, here is the official biography of Hans:"Hans is a handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom who comes to Arendelle for Elsa's coronation. With 12 older brothers, Hans grew up feeling practically invisible—and Anna can relate. Hans is smart, observant and chivalrous. Unlike Elsa, Hans promises he'll never shut Anna out; he just might be the connection she's been waiting

After feeding raw for several years, one would think I had my routine in order. I feed my dogs twice daily, and am guilty of forgetting to set food out to thaw for breakfast at least once a week.
I hate mornings when that happens. I have a few options:
- Try the quick thaw method, which involves submerging the bag of frozen food in a sink full of tepid water. Time consuming, and sometimes messy if the bag leaks,
- Putting a bunch of treats in a bowl, and serving it as breakfast,
- Feeding a couple of individually frozen organ portions for breakfast; or
- Dehydrated or freeze-dried raw food, like Bravo! Homestyle Complete.
Bravo Homestyle Complete is raw meat and organ based, and includes vegetables and cranberries. It is easily prepared by mixing equal parts Bravo with equal parts warm water, and allowing it to sit for 15 minutes. This product is perfect for those busy mornings when I forget to thaw out breakfast for the dogs. Rehydrate the Bravo, get in the shower, feed dogs after I get out of the shower.
|I love that I can tell what I am looking at here. Meat and organs, sweet potatoes, green beans and cranberries.
Find Bravo! on Facebook and Twitter. Follow My Rotten Dogs on Facebook for more raw feeding info, fun facts, and giveaways!
The Giveaway
Bravo is giving away 10 bags of of their Homestyle Complete to one reader. Each bag makes one pound of fresh, raw, REAL food! Giveaway open to US residents. Enter using Rafflecopter below.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My fiance and I both have very long names, so fitting our full names on our wedding invitations was a concern. WeddingPaperDivas were so helpful and kind when I called to make sure they could make this happen for us. We are also only having a 3 month long engagement, so there was a time crunch for sure! We were able to get our beautiful invitations quickly and WeddingPaperDivas was a pleasure to work with. The ettiquitte tips were very helpful! The proof process was fast and easy and very helpful! I will definately refer friends here. The invitations look beautiful and they are a good quality paper. We didn't even realize we could put our pictures on the back until after we had already decided on these invitations, talk about a pleasent surprise! No additional charge for the pictures being printed either."
"Incredible product. Added the pearl shimmer detail, and it came out beautifully. We ordered these for our Halloween Wedding this year, and are thrilled to send out this high quality product to our friends and family!"
"These cards fit perfectly into out Vintage theme. I loved the light purple color on the back side with the cute little saying. It is a great addition to all our other wedding decorations."
"Loved the way this product looked online. Loved the color of the sample I received. I was disappointed with my final product though. The color of my invitations and RSVP cards was off. When I got the sample the color was a rich plum (which is exactly what I wanted), when the order came the color was washed out to a red wine color. It was too late to call, complain and re-order so the invitations went out as is. They are still beautiful but I am very disappointed that the color was faded."
"We made our invitations black and white with an amethyst band to match our wedding colors and the cards turned out perfect! The quality of the print and thickness of the card were exactly what we were hoping for. I'm quite a perfectionist so this means a lot. :) We've received so many compliments and would highly recommend this style to anyone who is thinking about it."


text:
"I loved the way I could customize the border, my card looked like a cookie :) Great weight of the paper, I was scared it'd be to thin, but it's perfect! The people I've heard so far think it's a beautiful and original card :) I think this is our new card-site :)"
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"This card came out so cute/ i changed around the font and some of the colors a little but that was just my preference. I have gotten a ton of compliments!"
"This card was so cute! I really liked that I could add my sons picture and it was really easy to create the card. The picture makes it a nice keepsake for family. I received many compliments. The order arrived much earlier than the estimated arrival date so that made it even better!"
"I chose tiny prints to purchase birthday invitations for my son's first birthday. I was amazed as I was browsing through the products. Even more amazed when my purchase arrived at my door! Great quality in every possible way! Very impressed!"

Men admire him, women adore him, he's a modern towering inferno of a leading man who tears up the screen with every performance.
And with his latest film role, Canadian Ryan Gosling proves again, he is the most dynamic film star working in cinema today.
Thirty-two-year old Gosling first caught my eye ten years ago as a fresh faced college killer opposite Sandra Bullock in Murder By Numbers. Then came The Notebook, a wonderful weepy which few women can resist, in which Gosling breaks hearts in the ultimate forget me not.
Oscar recognition followed as a troubled teacher in Half Nelson, and then came the powerhouse performances of Drive, Blue Valentine and The Ides Of March; Gosling was no longer an up and coming actor but a fully fledged film star.
His latest film, The Place Beyond The Pines is an epic crime thriller told in three parts, exploring the fractured bond between fathers and sons. The sweeping drama unfolds over 15 years as the sins of the past haunt the present.
In the film's first part, Gosling plays Luke, a blonde danger man who lives his life in the transient limelight of a travelling show. In one fantastic tracking shot, we see this tattooed fairground attraction in his trailer throwing shapes with a knife. Then, over his muscled torso, he slips on a blood red leather jacket and heads out through the carnival crowd.
With a cigarette burning from his bottom lip, Luke is welcomed as a sideshow superstar, who then revs the wheels of his bike and rides the 'globe of death'.
But suffering from motorcycle emptiness in yet another small town, Luke decides to refuel his relationship with former lover, Romina, (Eva Mendes) who recently and secretly gave birth to the stunt rider's son. "Anything you want to tell me?" Luke asks Romina, "Before I leave here and never come back."
In an attempt to provide for his new family, Luke quits the carnival life and takes to the wrong side of the tracks as 'the Moto Bandit' committing a series of high octane bank robberies.
These daring crimes sets him on a collision course with an ambitious local police officer, Avery Cross, (played by Bradley Cooper). As hero and villain collide, The Place Beyond The Pines, takes an unexpected left turn into its second and third parts.
Uneasy rider Gosling is electric in every scene as the broody, blonde bank-robber. He has singlehandedly invented a new film genre; the ultra violent, super cool; characters so tough they will bust your nose and break your heart at the same time.
A famous French director once said "All you need for a movie is a girl and gun" but all you really need is Ryan Gosling on a motorbike.
The Place Beyond The Pines (Cert 15) is now on general release.
Brian Henry Martin is an accomplished documentary filmmaker and UTV's resident film critic, appearing regularly on UTV Live Tonight.
No matter what the film, there's a good chance Brian has seen it.

UK commissioner creates `pensions' for police dogsNovember 5, 2013 @ 3:31 am
LONDON (AP) - They work hard, sniffing out crime with only the occasional pat on the nose in gratitude.
But police dogs deserve better, according to the police and crime commissioner in the English county of Nottinghamshire, who wants to reward them with "pensions" on retirement.
Paddy Tipping says the idea for a canine pension fund came about because officers were picking up the costs for retired police dogs. Handlers normally take dogs home upon retirement. Tipping, however, says he doesn't "think it's fair that they have to pay all the bills."
The plans announced Monday will be rolled out next month. Up to 500 pounds ($800) annually will be given to handlers for three years to cover veterinary bills for work-related injuries or illness.

ST. PAUL, MN. – This is a homecoming of sorts for some Sharks. Justin Braun was born in Minneapolis and Alex Stalock grew up in St. Paul. Joe Pavelski's hometown of Plover, Wisconsin, isn't all that far away across the state line.
Beyond that, two Sharks started their careers with the Wild, Brent Burns and James Sheppard.
So, Todd McLellan was asked this morning, is there ever a danger some players get too amped up for games here?
"If you got to pick five or six games where you really wanted to be on the top of your game and play well, usually it's against your former teammates or your former team ," McLellan said, citing some of the above examples. "That can work for or against you because you can be over-excited and make mistakes and try to do too much, but I think they'll be fine."
Stalock isn't likely to get a chance to find out, by the way. He hasn't played a game at Xcel and won't get the start tonight as McLellan is riding the relatively hot hand of Antti Niemi. Coaches aren't usually sentimentalists when it comes to the lineup.
***This place has been pretty inhospitable to the Sharks in recent years as San Jose is on a six-game losing streak at the Xcel Energy Center.
That plus the fact the Wild are 3-0 at home and coming off a come-from-behind victory over the Boston Bruins on the road give credibility to Todd McLellan's declaration that the Wild will provide a good test for San Jose.
***It was an optional skate and McLellan left open the possibility of a lineup change or two for tonight's game. One could be on defense, where Scott Hannan sat out against the Colorado Avalanche. The other could be the NHL debut of Barclay Goodrow, but don't count on it.
Goodrow would seem to be destined to play on the third line, probably alongside Chris Tierney. But right now Tierney, James Sheppard and Matt Nieto are playing well and McLellan indicated yesterday he didn't want to dismantle something that was working to accommodate an individual.
Nieto began the season on the second line with Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau, but McLellan did what he could Thursday to make it clear that his current role shouldn't be seen as a demotion in the quest to find four successful lines.

Officers said a 13-month old and his father were playing in their home on Trojan Street when the family's pit bull started to growl, bit the toddler in the head and dragged him along the floor.
The boy is in stable but critical condition at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.
The dog was turned over the Sarasota County Animal Control officers.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (1997)
by Miguel Ruiz
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I could listen to Peter Coyote read the phone book, No, REALLY! This book dare one to make four "easy" Toltec agreements with yourself that are anything but and have the power to significantly affect your life view.
An inspiring read. This can speak to anyone, regardless of religion (or lack thereof).
To me, this book started out with some mystical sounding things that I didn't always understand. However, it quickly settled into some very clear writing that outlined for me basic ways I can control my behavior that will lead to greater happiness in my life.
I admit I was skeptical about this book, because I am not a spiritual person. However, it was recommended to me by someone I respect, and I need all the help I can get when it comes to self-improvement. Plus, it's flipping famous, and I was curious: the cover is burned into my memory from the years when I worked at Barnes & Noble.
Although, as expected, I did struggle a bit with the mentions of god and spirituality, I was able to look past those references to the techniques being suggested in the book for ways to live an authentic and meaningful life.
The "four agreements" referenced in the title are:
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.
I created the acronym "IPAD" in order to remember them (impeccable, personally, assumptions, do your best).
I did memorize the agreements and I repeat them to myself as I go through my day as part of my attempt to be a better person. I won't go so far as to say this book changed my life, but it was worth reading, and I'd like to work harder to implement its tenets. I think I could get more out of them.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 187842484X, Hardcover)At the heart of the Toltec teachings are the "Four Agreements (Los Cuatro Acuerdos)." According to don Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec nagual, or shaman, everything we do is based on agreements we have made -- agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth. In Los Cuatro Acuerdos, don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. When we are ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt as guiding principles. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

Dear Amelia,
I do hope that you are well and that you have had a wonderful summer in your garden this year. Thank you for your visit and comment which always bring me personal joy. Though I am not very regular on Pano nowadays, I am going to miss the opportunity to engage with one another through comments when they migrate us to their proposed new platform.

This HTC One M8 Max concept proposes a 6.1-inch display, no logo on the front
Said One M8 Max concept was made by Hasan Kaymak, and, as its name suggests, it tries to envision what HTC's next-generation phablet could look like. Specs-wise, the concept proposes a 6.1-inch Super LCD3 display of unspecified resolution, a diamond-cut metal chassis, "Boom Sound Limited Edition HD Speakers", a fingerprint sensor inside the power button (which, by the way, is placed on the handset's right side), and a MicroUSB 3.0 port.
Like the real One M8, this One M8 Max concept offers two cameras on the back. However, the main one has a 21MP sensor, while the second one is the classic 4MP UltraPixel HTC camera. There is yet another 4MP UltraPixel camera on the front.
Of course, we have to mention that HTC may want to call its next phablet One M8 Ace, not One M8 Max. Anyhow, check out the M8 Max concept in the gallery below, and let us know if you'd like HTC to manufacture something similar to it.

HTC One M8 Max concept design if happens that too with 21 MP camera and no front logo then I think HTC would be having a huge success with this.

This how the M8 should have look (with a 4.8" screen)
I like the idea of the fingerprint reader on the side of the phone, so you can easily use it one hand and not needing to have fat bezel for the reader

Yes, I really do think this is how the M8 should have looked.

even with the empty black bar, the M8 is the best looking handset in the market, and the best built one as well. Obviously they needed that space, and probably because of the thin curved sides, but my only wish is that they added capacitive buttons.

Without a doubt. Can't wait to see what the actual M8 max version looks like. Even with the logo bar at bottom will still be best option.

I agree that the M8 is the best looking phone
But I don't think they actually need that space, if you look at the teardown there is only a display connector, they should designed a smaller display connector and removed to bezel

Apart from the logo, HTC should also ditch the gimmicky secondary cam and go with one 8-13 Ultrapixel cam instead.
8. maherk (Posts: 1112; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I didn't find it gimmicky, one of the reason I am going to ditch my note 3 for the m8 is the effects the new camera brings, I have a 16 months old daughter and I would love something like the M8's camera help me be creative with her pictures with ease. But I agree, it would have been much better if they used 8/13 ultrapixel sensors instead of the 4.

But you can do those effects on other phones, and with apps. Galaxy S5 can do the same things, but with better results. Not buying the S5 myself, but not sure that is the best reason for the M8. Better style, 32 gb for sure
17. maherk (Posts: 1112; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
again, 1 of the reasons. My number one reason is the way it looks and feels in the palm of the hand. 2 weeks ago I wouldn't have thought of ditching my Note 3, and surely not for the htc M8, but when I saw in the tmobile store I couldn't resist the temptation of own one. Then came the camera, and the stereo speakers.

yes but you have to also realize the focus switching doesnt work right all the time.

HTC always screw their perfect device with some dumb decision...like 4 ultra pixel camera...and htc logo in front.
I'd be really willing to buy m8 max...if htc correct these 2 issues.

No where to put a logo on the front???.... That thing will never pass Verizon Certification

Awesome concept. Im in
21. Diezparda (Posts: 212; Member since: 23 Oct 2013)
Wow soon after i see this concept i kinda forget to consider the original M8. I hope it will have a pen feature like G-Note series because it's nice to have it especially for productivity and sketching.
All that packaged into this phone and this will be my next phone...

I like the microusb 3.0 type c, aka 3.1 reversible, like the lightning cable
23. hmd74 (Posts: 377; Member since: 31 Jan 2013)
G PRO 2? is that you?
24. ultradragon (Posts: 6; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
I think this could not be true..same 16 mp and 4up rumor was there before htc m8 launched..plz htc give atleast a 13 mp sensor on the m8 ace and I will be sold :/

The Note series is still laughing
28. newbey123 (Posts: 449; Member since: 19 Mar 2012)
Then it should probably stop looking in the mirror.
30. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1640; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Why? Is it scared? No...then who cares, it's laughing for no reason.
29. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1640; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I would buy this for sure. I'll take 5
31. trollz (Posts: 32; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
Just watch Verizon slap on 3 or more logos right on the front of the device.
32. Alpha-Sam_23 (Posts: 1; Member since: 27 Apr 2014)
Definitely gonna cop it! But much agreed 4ultra mp's
BAD!! 8ultra or 13or higher mp's GOOD! & 4 the record
Samsung sucks! Cheap plastic handsets, annoying software & artificial producing pics! HTC better nail this phablet Dangit! The only thing good from the note series is the s pen.. hey HTC how bout a friggin stylus hah!

I currently own the HTC One Max phablet and I love it. New placement of the fingerprint scanner is the perfect location (on power button); that would avoid smearing/smudging the camera lense when using the print sensor because its current location on the One Max sits annoyingly close, just below camera glass. --Unless I'm missing the point, but what is the use of 3 cameras? I'm all for adding extras but why not just 2 great cameras front and back? --I definitely love the idea of adding inches to the display size, weather the logo is on it or not. Capactive home & back buttons are a must for me (backlit as well). --A barometer would be great for us weather junkies out there. --And throwing in a well secured stylus would be useful too. Awesome product as is, but theres always room for improvement; also considering how much we pay, use, and need them... It would be nice to see this new phablet on tje shelves, I'm a sure bet of a buyer...

46th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues is known as Restaurant Row, and it's where most of the tourists in Hell's Kitchen find their grub before going to the theater. Locals will tell you, though, that Restaurant Row isn't the place to go for dinner in Hell's Kitchen. New Yorkers prefer the eclectic collection of ethnic restaurants on Ninth and Tenth Avenues. Try Gazala Place for delicious Middle Eastern food, or Anejo Tequileria for the ideal Mexican menu to go with your margaritas. You don't have to look hard for great Asian restaurants in New York City, but Hell's Kitchen has the greatest concentration of Thai food in Manhattan.
