Petitioning village head allegedly held down by 5 people and crushed
December 25-26th, on many discussion forums and microblogs throughout the country appeared a piece of news regarding the traffic accident death of former village head Qian Yunhui of Zhaiqiao Village in Puqi Town of Yueqing City that incited many netizens' speculation and discussion.
December 25th night, the Yueqing City *** Department issued an announcement that a traffic accident occurred along the Zhaiqiao Village section of the Yueqing City Hongnan public road. A construction truck with the license plate number K5B323 (delivering materials for the Yueqing Lingang Industrial Zone reclamation project) hit Zhaiqiao Village villager Qian Yunhui. When the police rushed to the scene, Qian Yunhui had already passed away. However, some netizens posted completely different information on various well-known discussion forums and microblogs throughout the country claiming that, on the morning of December 25th, Qian Yunhui was held and pressed down to the ground by 5 people along the Zhaiqiao Village section of the Hongnan public road. Then, he was run over by a construction truck, which was driving in the wrong direction. Photographs that were posted afterward showed that there was indeed a construction truck with the license plate K5B323, crushing a man over his neck, the man's body lay underneath the truck's tire, a scene too horrifying to look at.
December 26th, this Wenzhou Net reporter contacted the Yueqing City Puqi Town party office by telephone. A staff member surnamed Zhang told this reporter that he has already taken note of the information on the internet. "This is just a traffic accident, but there are people with ulterior motives who are trying to link it with previous petitioning." He said that Qian Yunhui previously served as the "village head" of Zhaiqiao Village in 2005. Afterward, this reporter then telephoned the Yueqing City Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and Yueqing *** Department. Both departments stated that new information concerning this accident will be announced this afternoon. At 17:18, this reporter once again contacted the Yueqing City Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, but the staff memory stated that there no further news yet at present.
As of press time, speculation concerning Qian Yunhui's death on the internet is still spreading. One netizen has posted a comment saying that "on the day of the crime, the surveillance cameras along that section of the road were dismantled"; Another netizen posted saying: "Qian Yunhui, in order to prosecute government officials for misappropriating 146 hectares of their village's land, has been running around petitioning higher authorities [for redress] for six years, and has suffered imprisonment many times [as a result]." Even more netizens expressed that they hope the relevant departments will announce the results of the investigation as soon as possible.
The following photo was originally posted on this KDS post (Baidu cache) which has since been deleted:

Comments from KDS:
Looking at the photos and how the truck ran over [the body], it looks a little odd.
Sigh…there is nowhere left in this society to argue/discuss…may the entire family of the monkeys deleting posts all die…
This is the fate for the public servants who really work for the people.
A voice shouts: This is the fate for those who don't listen/obey!
How can this be a traffic accident? If he had been hit, he would've been sent flying.
Seeing this makes me sad, a good person passing away like this.
The good and honest officials to be squeezed out are squeezed out, the ones to be crushed are crushed, and what's left over everyone understands. So, don't say that public opinion against public officials is a group beating to death one person, [because] preferring to wrongly kill a thousand rather than letting one go is the policy of TG [the government] against the rabble.
I'd find it strange if this kind of thing did not happen in the Heavenly Kingdom.
So horrific, [but] the result of the investigation for this will definitely be a "normal traffic accident". There cannot be any other result.
Petitioning results in imprisonment? Which law stipulates that? Great, [are we] now immediately silencing people? White terror?
December 28 UPDATE: More translated information available at EastSouthWestNorth and Global Voices Online.
2011 January 7 UPDATE: A lot of discussion and additional information has resulted from this case. If you have not followed some of the developments from the above update, here is a small update regarding the question of whether Qian Yunhui was really murdered by people holding him down for a truck to run over, or if it was just an unfortunate traffic accident…
From NetEase:
December 28th, Wenzhou police officials release investigation photographs from the scene of the Qian Yunhui case, and analyzed that after victim collided with the truck's front bumper on his left side, his body fell onto the ground on its right side and was dragged and crushed to death by the vehicle.

An emotional and unusual repossession case has surfaced in Council Bluffs. It involves the living, breathing property of a family with a diabetic child.
Chewy protects five-year-old diabetic Evan Spizzirri with her nose.
"She watches my blood sugars," Evan explained.
But after two years living with Evan and his family, Chewy has been repossessed by the service dog company. Mom Jeana said a sheriff's deputy seized the Labrador on Tuesday.
She said, "She is basically another lifeline for our son and they took that away from us. The way we see it is, yes you can sue us for the money, take us to court, that's fine. We can fight it all we can but don't take my son's dog away from him."
Chewy cost $19,000 and the Spizzirris still owe about $12,000 but stopped making payments to Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers based in Virginia.
Jeana said, "He stopped sending trainers. He stopped communication with us."
But in the repossession filing, the trainer claims he's been denied access to Chewy for a year and that puts the dog in danger. They are allegations mom denies saying it's her son who could be harmed without the dog to sniff blood sugar levels.
The family plans to post a bond next week so Chewy can be returned until the payment dispute goes to trial in July. Five-year-old Evan hopes his friend and lifeline comes home soon.
"I want my Chewy back," he said.
The attorney for Service Dogs by Warren declined to comment on a pending case. Whether the service dog should return to the family or permanently stay with the trainer goes to trial in Council Bluffs on July 22nd.

Crangle will listen to District 27 needs
On July 15, Tommy Crangle met with the Kiwanis Club of Hixson as he continues his bid for Tennessee state representative. Tommy was glad to spend time with and discuss issues with the group. Topics ranged from taxation to energy resources to education and Common Core. The Kiwanis Club focuses on serving the local community, and Tommy was excited to hear members' opinions as he does his best to represent the needs of District 27, which includes Red Bank, Signal Mountain, Lookout Valley, and parts of Hixson, Soddy-Daisy and Lookout Mountain. Residents of this district can vote for Tommy in the primary on Aug. 7.
Tidwell has earned re-election vote
For 20 years, Gwen Tidwell has been the Criminal Court clerk. In this time, she has computerized the office where before records were kept in 4-foot-long ledgers. She did this not by asking the County Commission for money but by tightening her belt and making it happen with the resources she had. In fact, Mrs. Tidwell's system was up and running way before the city or county police departments came close to going paperless. Mrs. Tidwell has to network with a variety of people and institutions to keep the office up to date and efficient. These people and agencies include judges, district attorneys, victims, police, investigators, victim advocacy groups, mental health professionals and the list goes on. The Criminal Court clerk is not in a position to sit back and let her subordinates carry on day-to-day duties. Gwen Tidwell is a woman of character, honesty, and is a hard worker. She approaches her job with a freshness you would expect from a junior elected official, not a veteran of 20 years. Please vote and keep a true professional where she belongs, in the office of the Criminal Court clerk.

City, don't kowtow to me generation
Many self-appointed city do-gooders have advocated the noise-level ordinance be modified to allow even louder noise downtown. I have even heard like-minded radio commentators say if Chattanooga is to grow, then our nightspots must be allowed to produce concert-like audio. It appears Riverbend has whetted the appetites of those who think fun is only equated with high decibel levels! It is sad to see our city government all but agree with the sentiments above. Every summer I dread being around cars that enjoy blasting passersby with their loud music, but for those who have chosen to live in the confines of downtown -- thus being unable to find relief from any blaring noise -- my sympathy to you. Apparently, the Me Generation has no conscience when it comes to entertainment. However, I suspect I'm not the only person who is appalled by the thoughtlessness of others. Thankfully, at the place I live, when I turn out the lights, sleep is never an afterthought.

Vote for benefits extension on Aug. 7
As a Christian and a minister of the gospel, I believe in following the teaching of Jesus, "Love your neighbor as yourself." The parable of the Good Samaritan tells us we are called to love those who are different from us or who differ in their beliefs. This is why I am concerned that hard-working city employees, right here in Chattanooga, can be fired simply because they are gay or transgender. This simply does not match up with the teachings of Jesus to love our neighbors. Our city is facing a critical vote on Aug. 7 that will determine the atmosphere of Chattanooga. Do we want to send a message that we, as a city value all people, or do we want to send a message that Chattanooga is a city of exclusion, discrimination, and disregard for our hard-working city employees? I, for one, will be voting for the preservation of our City Council's Nondiscrimination and Domestic Partnership ordinance on Aug. 7. I urge my fellow Chattanoogans to prayerfully do the same, fulfilling Jesus' commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Sell's energy, passion call for re-election
I have known Judge Christie Sell for over 30 years. She is one of the most impressive people I know. You don't have to know her well to know she works hard and gives of her time in the community. Her energy and passion for people is truly inspirational. She has a smile and positive attitude that is contagious, and I am so impressed with her hard work as a judge. As a judge, she is fair with each person, diligent about the truth and committed to honor. Most of all, she is gracious for the trust the people have put in her to be a great judge. Your vote will make a difference. Re-elect Christie Sell.

More warning needed for speed cameras
I just finished reading the article regarding the speed "trap" on Germantown Road. Sounds like the city is real proud of itself for nabbing 17,549 (un)suspecting speeders, netting an average of 145 per day! Great for tourism! I was one of those unsuspecting victims. I say that because there was no previous warning to my knowledge of a pending "trap" to be set. I drive that route only on Monday nights, volunteering at a local animal shelter, and was totally blindsided when I got the $50 ticket in the mail. Of course, I assumed it was my husband's, but later inspection revealed it was without a doubt mine! Perhaps the money acquired can be used for the driver's education program that was proposed and shot down by the County Commission just a few months ago or even used toward education of some caliber. That would be the right thing to do! If education is a priority for our city's mayor, then maybe this is a starting point. Therefore, if this is a way to bump up revenue for education, please install more cameras! But please at least give us some prior warning.

Hazlewood helpful for businesses
I am writing in support of Patsy Hazlewood for the Tennessee House of Representatives in District 27. I have known Patsy for many years starting with her tenure at BellSouth and AT&T and as regional coordinator for the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development's Southeast Tennessee office. I have worked on many job-creation projects with her. Several years ago, we worked to recruit an Italian ink manufacturer to this region. This project was very hands-on because the company had no operation in the United States and was quite unfamiliar with starting a manufacturing operation in the country. Patsy was instrumental in her efforts to convince KIIAN to locate in an existing industrial building in the Soddy-Daisy Industrial Park. Patsy has also been a critical team player when working with existing business and industry. She has assisted the existing business community with permit expedition, business-to-business introductions and incentive negotiations. Patsy was this community's liaison to state economic development officials and always represented Southeast Tennessee with an efficient and effective voice. Vote for Patsy Hazlewood in the District 27 Republican primary for state representative.

Bedtime for Bonzo in 3rd District?
It amuses me to read all the letters bemoaning the lack of experience of Weston Wamp. I mean, how hard could it be to vote "no" on everything the other side of the aisle presents? A chimp could be trained to represent the 3rd District. I think maybe it's bedtime for Bonzo.
Ms. Horn, join the rest of we mere mortals who have been forced to suffer such indignities when pulled over by a traffic cop and can't drop the name of a friend or relative on the force to avoid being ticketed, or flirt our way out of a ticket. Oh! The horrors! At least the cameras are more fair, balanced and don't discriminate....for now.

In Which the Cheese Almost Totally Slips Off My Cracker
I take Celexa so you don't have to. At least that was the purpose of this blog, going back to the first real entry so many years ago. Since that date, I have never actually run out of pills, an event that finally happened somewhere in rural Virginia two days ago. Unable to reach my psychotherapist for a refill, I decided not to worry about it and wait until I got back to Brooklyn.
That's almost three days, cold turkey, off the anti-depressant, and I am here to tell you IT AIN'T A GOOD IDEA. Apparently Celexa is water-soluble, meaning it starts its inevitable journey out of your body the second you swallow. Fully 25% of the medication is gone by the next day, meaning that you can have it flushed out of your system pretty quickly. Your brain, however, is not so quick to forget.
The second night off the drug, I woke up in a cold sweat because I had dreamed that Tessa and I had turned into al dente pasta. I could not move my arms or legs because they had the floppy consistency of wet durham wheat. I tried to keep the conversation afloat at breakfast with Maud Casey, but I kept getting distracted by the Wang Chung songs on the ambient speakers, and lost entire five-minute stretches of time while Maud and Tessa wondered why I was fidgeting like a 3-year-old on Almond Joys.
By the time we got back to our apartment in Brooklyn yesterday, I felt like my brain case had been stuffed with wool socks. I laughed, I cried, I explained things to the dog. When I would turn my head to answer a question, my brain's perception was stuck where my head had just been, making the whole world off-sync like one of those shitty educational movies we had to watch in science class.
I just took my regular dose again, and normality has still not called my body home.
I just drifted off while writing that sentence and wiggled my foot for ten minutes.
I am off to sleep, perchance to dream, of fountains that spurt mustard, hats made of meat, and Wink Martindale.
Oh dear. Poor Ian. Lexapro is the magic pill that gets me through the day, and I understand that Lexapro is the isomer of Celexa. I have learned the hard way that missing one day's dose of Lexapro is not quite like missing your daily vitamin pill . . . your body/brain has to essentially start from the beginning. Miss one day and it's just like you never had the benefit of months of therapy and anti-depressants in the first place! How lovely!
Hang in there! Your photo made me laugh. . . my beagle Jack has been by my side through thick and thin. At times, I am convinced that Jack and Jack alone truly understands why I am the way I am. Your dog seems to have that knowing look as well!
Oh, and I wanted to mention one other thing. My doctor warned me to take Lexapro at the same time each day. Apparently, taking two doses too close together made lead to seizures. Yet another reassuring thought in the battle to be normal. Take care and have a good day!
HI LAURIE. HOW LONG DID THE LEXAPRO TAKE TO "KICK IN'? When I STARTED TAKING INITIALLY IT SEEM TO HELP. NOW, AFTER TAKING IT ABOUT FOUR WEEKS, IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE DEPRESSED. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON THE MEDICATION BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND IT COULD TAKE UP TO TO 6 WEEKS TO HELP. MY DOCTOR THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR ME TO JUST TAKE 5MG BECAUSE I FEEL PRETTY SENSITIVE TO THE LEXAPRO. I WENT FROM 10 MG FOR 2 WEEKS, THEN UP TO 20 MG FOR 2 WEEKS NOW BACK TO 10.
I'm not Laurie, but it's almost my first anniversary of being on it. It took about three weeks for it to kick in for me. But everyone is different. It mostly took away the hole in my stomach that I felt when I woke up in the mornings. It doesn't necessarily make me "happy", but I don't feel full of dread before I get up. It felt odd to wake up without that pit-o'-dread in my stomach every morning, but it was a great relief. I've been on 10 mg, which isn't a lot. There are other pills out there, so if it isn't working, I'm sure your dr. will look into others. But give it a chance. Also, read Ian's blog every day - it helps.
I'm not revealing my name because I'm a writer and people will think I'm just trying to fit into the cliche by being on antidepressants. Truthfully, I avoided them as long as I could. ;)

I'm confused. Didn't Tannenbaum always say personnel decisions were made on a consensus basis with him and the HC. If this is the case why can't Cowher bring in a Personnel guy of his own choosing and Tanny, Cowher and Cowher's guy could make the decisions together. Plus, Tanny never struck me as the kind of GM who forces players on a coach (like the GM in SD). I though he was the kind of GM who sought to get players his coach wants.
There is no reason Cowher should not be the next HC of the NYJ. This is not a deal breaker, a compromise is clearly available. I think this is posturing on Cowher's part to get a few more dollars and some more control.

This is an interesting theory. I, for one, think impeachment needs to happen, if for no other reason than to make the sheeple aware of Obama´s law breaking. If something isn´t done, future presidents may take things further than Obama. Who knows with Boehner´s lawsuit and impeachment both, he might go ballistic and quit. One can hope!

Very interesting article. One could say: A unique take on the current incompetent-in-chief. But the thing that still gets me is this Palin talk. The media, even the conservative media, is treating this as a "Palin spouting off´ moment. While the real issue should be Obama. Why is it whenever anyone goes on the offensive against poor little Barry, the focus is always on the attacker. While if a democrat, its always in support of the charges?If this is in fact the case, given the current political situation in the country, then Boehner´s lawsuit makes some sense, I guess. Since impeachment appears to be a no-go, what other options of reigning in this tyrant do we have?

After the Otard leaves, you still need to remove all the libtard ticks that have been planted in the bureaucracy from top to bottom, and in the military. One fast way to do that is to eliminate entire departments if the constitution doesn´t authorize it, such as the EPA, DOE, DOE, HHS, FDA, DHS, BATF, USDA, etc. You get the idea.

Impeaching Obama would be political suicide. Savvy Democrats would silently cheer, as the moron would go from fool to saint in a nanosecond. The lofos would be wailing and weeping. Do not give them the satisfaction. Let the farce go on until the end, until everyone is embarrassed and looking away from the pitiful spectacle.

Mr. Fernandez presents us with a brilliant analogy – Sarah Palin calls for impeachment – a fast, clean, relatively bloodless lion-like kill. Mr. Boehner suggests a wolf-like strategy – a circling of the target, warily watching, alternating running in for bites here and there, and then retreating to continue watching and circling.Mr. Fernandez lists many reasons why not only Mr. Boehner and his pack but other multiple packs, of both deceived and embittered quarry and foes, are watching and circling closer.An excellent, evocative article.

A good angle, I hope he´s right.It did my heart good to read about how black people in California and Texas are beginning to get angry, realizing that this influx of people from south of the border will impact their chances of getting jobs. It´s about time they realized they are not on this man´s list of concerns.

need recco for someplace "new" to try in CT/westchester with new friends
Ok all,
put your thinking hats on - we are going out to dinner Saturday eve with some new friends and wanted to try someplace new (well, new to us anyway). I know it is last minute so it will be hard to get ressies at a good time - I already went for our favorites but wanted somethng new an different to try. anything you can suggest? I know it is rather late to get a good time slot but even if I have something for the next go around that would be great.
JFood, Adamclyde - I KNOW you have some great ideas - any new places on your radars????
Karen, have you been to Zitoune in Mamaroneck?
They don't show on opentable.com but they might have a reservation available.
The only other place that is on the list that looks good is Espana, the new tapas place in Larchmont.
New and different strikes jfood as Duo in stamford. He was there two weeks ago and posted his review. Food is both beautifully presented and very well prepared. Service is very attentive but difficult to understand (language barrier). The other place that jfood has become enamored with recently is Thali in New Canaan, and with new friends it gives an opportunity to eat "family" style (no double dipping please) and taste lots of great dishes. More downscale in price point but a lot of fun with new friends is Barcelona (jfood likes the SONO location). Ask for a table in the back room with the wine fridge, very energetic and good food. Seafood, you may want to give Rowayton Seafood a shout. Jfood thinks they only reserve a percentage of the tables, leaving others for walk-ins. Another one on Jfood's current Gotta Try List is Wasabi Chi in SONO. Definitely think you can get a ressie there. Someone posted that the manager and chef at Emily Shaws (formerly Inn at Pound Ridge) changed a few weeks ago and that is went for DNR to gotta try. Can't give any input since jfood thought the previous owner/chef were outstanding and it hurts every time he drives by one of his old faithfuls and remembers the good times.
Hope this helps and good luck, jfood off the resto circuit this weekend for some private get-togethers.
We recently ate for the first time at Stoneleigh Creek in Armonk. It's not exactly new, has been around for a while in Croton Falls, then moved some months ago to Armonk (and has already been reviewed in the Times,) but it was new to us. Food was good, service decent, noise level allowed conversation -- have no idea how difficult a Sat. nite reservation would be.
re: Westjanie
thanks for the tips so far- I had a ressie at Duo already and am now thinking that might be a good one as I doubt the other couple wants to head to SONO or beyond but I am now want to try some of the above - yum, yum......
You might try Peniche, a (relatively) new tapas place in downtown White Plains near the new Ritz Carlton. It's a lot of fun-- lively atmosphere, sophisticated decor and good food. Google it.
There's a great "sleeper" in Norwalk, never seems to be TOO busy, and almost NEVER gets mentioned on this board, perhaps overshadowed by some other favorite Italian places (Columbus Park, Pasta Nostra, etc.).
It's called Pasquale's Osteria. The food and service are really great. It can be a bit pricey, but you get your $'s worth.
Pasquale's Osteria
186 Main St, Norwalk, CT 06851
re: Fairfield.Foody
Jfood passes thisplace all the time and always wondered about it. Have you tried it and what are some of the good dishes?
Another "sleeper" is Mikes. If you continue on main towards route 1 and go past route 1 it is on the left, across from Ryans. The address is 50 Main St. in Norwalk. A little place with a mom/pop ownership. Also a little pricey, but jfood went for lunch a few months ago and felt it was a nice old fashioned red sauce.
re: jfood
It's been a year or so...great calamari app., Chicken Francese and Veal Marsala. Their specials can be excellent too, I seem to remember my wife ordering a stuffed veal chop. Really good red sauce...I believe all entrees come with a side of pasta. You can ask your server what he would recommend. Save room for the tiramisu.
The service is outstanding, very old-school with PROS who take pride in their work.

Duck Confit With Gigantes BeansDec 9th, 2013 | By Peter Minakis | Category: Beans, Bistro, Duck, Featured, French, Game, Garlic, Greek Wine, Herbs, Legume, Main, Recipes
Duck is a an underappreciated meat, at least here in North America. People often think it's hard to cook or it has too much fat or both. If you want to try cooking some duck, I suggest starting with duck legs, now found packaged apart from the rest of the duck. If you're good at butchering, buy a whole duck and cut up pieces and used accordingly.
Ducks have fat but so do many other animals and it's a pity to trim/cut and throw away duck fat. In the case of duck legs, you're using it to cook and break down the meat. The fat melts away and the meat gently poaches in the fat. This cooking method is called "confit", it comes from the Gascony region of France and surely all of Gaulle loves duck confit and gourmands around the world love it.
What could be better than succulent, flavourful duck meat that falls off the bone? Today, I offer you a short cut method that works and even though it still takes a couple of hours, it's still quicker than the traditional method.
The flavours here are orange zest, garlic, olive oil, thyme and rosemary and obviously salt and pepper. The accompanying side to the duck confit are Gigantes, Greek elephant beans that are simmered until tender then baked in the oven with aromatics, tomato sauce and herbs.
The winter evening arrives quick and the nipping cold makes it an easy case for staying indoors. The kitchen beckons, the soul wants some comfort food and I'm serving up Duck Confit with Gigantes Beans.
Duck Confit With Gigantes Beans
(serves 4)
4 duck legs (thighs attached)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
zest of 1 orange
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
10-12 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 tsp. of fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
Pre-heated 300F oven
- Place your duck legs in a deep baking dish that will snugly fit them all in. Drizzle with oil and the garlic, zest, allspice, thyme and rosemary leaves and rub into the duck until evenly covered over the meat.
- Now season both sides of the duck with salt and pepper and arrange in your baking dish. Pour about 2 Tbsp. of water into the corner of the dish and cover with foil. Place in your pre-heated oven and bake for 90 minutes. Take out of the oven and check to see if the meat bone is exposed from the leg (if not place in the oven for another 20 minutes).
- In the meantime (after you have place the duck in the oven), prepare your gigantes beans as instructed here.
- Once you see the bone is exposed on the leg, remove the foil, turn the heat up to 350F and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the skins is golden and crisp. Take out of the oven and allow to cool in the duck fat for five minutes (if serving immediately) or allow to cool completely in the fat.
- If serving the duck confit later, store in a container with the duck fat covering it. When you want to reheat the duck, simply return the duck to room temperature and pre-heat your oven to 400F. Cover the duck legs with some duck fat (or olive oil) and bake for 15 minutes or until crisp. For stove-top, add a little duck fat to your pan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes/side.
- Serve on a bed of warm gigantes beans and pair with Kir Yianni Two Olives.

Kluane Lake is located in the southwest area of the Yukon. At approximately 400 km2 (150 sq mi), and 70 km (43 mi) long, it is the largest lake contained entirely within the territorial border.
Kluane Lake is fed by the A'ay Chu, which is composed of meltwater from the Kaskawulsh Glacier, located within Kluane National Park. It drains into the Kluane River, whose waters flow into the Donjek River, White River, Yukon River, and eventually the Bering Sea.
The Alaska Highway follows most of Kluane Lake's southern border, and the drive offers many spectacular views of the lake. The Yukon communities of Burwash Landing and Destruction Bay are located on the southern shore of the lake. The lake is also known for its whitefish and lake trout fishing.

In September, we will be back to DC, and it looks like some of my favs, like Citronelle, are no more.
We are staying at the Mandrin Oriental, so a bit farther south, than we are used to.
Looking for 2 - 3 fine-dining restaurants, whether new, or old.
In years past, we have done Vidalia's, Citronelle, La Peradou, Bis, Acadiana,1789, Occidental Grill, Charlie Palmer's, Marcel's, Galileo's and a few more. Some are gone, and some are still around. We are not "steakhouse fans," as I can normally do better than most at home, and have a 9K btl. wine cellar, to draw from.
We are looking for some new locations, and a walk, or a short cab-ride would be ideal.
The exact cuisine is not that important, but a good wine list is. The price-points are not an issue, but quality of the food, and the service are.
Thank you,
re: Zevonista
We have not tried that one yet.
Thank you,
The hotel is in an isolated location for walking.
Since you've enjoyed Citronelle, I recommend Central Michel Richard. More casual, but same ethos and still a bit swank.
While CZ is an obvious choice, not everyone (including myself) is thrilled with it, but it seems right up your alley.
Speaking of alleys, if you are feeling more adventurous, then Rogue 24 is not comparable to any of those; it does its own thing, admirably. Highly recommended.
Fiola has great service, food, and Italian wine list. If you liked Charlie Palmer then I would consider Bourbon Steak. I think their non-steak items are superior. Lastly, you should consider Blue Duck Tavern. I think they meet your service and quality of food criteria.
re: ipsedixit
Thank you.
Not familiar with the latter two, but if you place them in the same list with Marcel's, that sounds good.
It has been several trips, since we have done Marcel's, so they should be up near the top of our list.
Lots of good spots to work with.
re: Bill Hunt
Estadio offers a very interesting and eclectic Spanish-centric list.
Plume is just the opposite, with a very extensive and wide-ranging selection. Some find the list a little off-putting by highlighting the supposed "hidden gems" but just ignore that little quibble and you should very happy.
re: ipsedixit
Thank you.
I will definitely check each out. Each sounds lovely, and worth the time and calories.
I have never heard of either - but now I know.
If they ARE "hidden gems," I swear that I will not divulge the secret, or we will never be able to secure a table... [Grin]
Greatly appreciated,
re: ipsedixit
ditto these three as a tasting swoop.
re: 0225eiluj
Aloha Julie,
So it was YOU, wanting to know about what would be missing, upon moving to Hawai`i.
While I could not make note of everything, we left New Orleans many years ago, and missed much. Also, we have been in Hawai`i about 2x per year, for the last 25, so know some of the cuisine (mostly fine-dining), and where many of the chefs are heading. We also know some things that are just missing, due to the location and isolation.
Your question is a great one!
I am not familiar with Teddy's, or Lincoln, but will check them out. I often get into a bit of a rut, so long as my favorite restaurants do not disappoint me. When we lost Le Paradue and then Citronelle, I knew that it was time to branch out. Next, my wife has her meetings at the Occidental, which will be new to us, and in a slightly different location, so I want to try some new spots. Normally, when she meets with Congress, we are at the Hay Adams, or the DC Hilton, and with some of her medical meetings, we are up at the Marriott at Woodley Park. I know plenty of places near each, but not down at the Occidental, so I greatly appreciate the recs.
I will check out their wines, as neither of us is really into cocktails, though both are from New Orleans, home of several.
Mahalo, and enjoy the move to Hawai`i. I think that you will fall in love.
I'm curious to know what your best experience has been in DC so far. Your Oahu recs served me well when I lived there :)
re: elhuevogrande
Hm-m, that is a toughie. We are in DC about 2 - 3x per year, but do often have dinners with my wife's events, or dinners with ____, who she needs to meet with, near their hotel.
While we have had great meals at Vidalia, and Citronelle, I will give the nod to Le Paradou, down on Indiana. They were always excellent, and to the max. How I miss them.
Marcel's has been good, over the years, and we have enjoyed a few tiny bistros up by Woodley Park (names have blurred now, but one was so good - right across from the Marriott - that we did three dinners, and two lunches.) It was cool, that when we first dined there, our luggage had been lost between PHX - SFO and IAD, and when we came in the next day, the staff noted, "We see that your luggage has not arrived yet." Keen observation. When we went back, the luggage HAD arrived. The server commented, "either your luggage arrived, or you went shopping." On our last visit, the owner came to the table with his new wine list, and asked me to comment on each proposed bottle. I was honored, and flattered. Wish I could recall the name, but it was up a half-flight of stairs, with an al fresco area, right at street level - isn't that Constitution? Great folk, and very, very good food.
We have dined at many other locations, but most have not impressed us. 1789 has been great, but also mediocre. Kincead's has been good, but also not so good. Others, like Bistro Bis, Acadiana, and several more, never made the first cut. Same for Charlie Palmer's, which we did enjoy in Sonoma, but not in DC.
We have enjoyed Capital Grille, but have one in PHX, so it's down our list. While they have never disappointed us, we'd rather head to a more local, chef-driven place.
As we are most often in town, we have NOT ventured out much, so cannot comment on near-by locations, other than to say that out by Dulles, the Hilton's bistro is as good as it gets - tried many others, and they all disappointed. Pains me to say that the Hilton in Herndon is better than all the rest out there.
Yes, Le Paradou was the best.
re: Bill Hunt
Bill -- the Hilton on 28??? We've lived out here for 20 years and I have never heard a single thing -- good bad or indifferent -- about the restaurant at the Hilton.
I am going to check this out!
re: Bob W
I am talking about the Hilton Dulles, http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/virg...
We stay there most often, when we have late meetings in DC, but then an early flight to PHX, SFO, or LHR.
For many years, we tried restaurants in the area, and cabbed it. They were all horrible. After about 10 years, we decided that we had exhausted all near-by restaurants, either free-standing, or in other hotels. We dined at that Hilton, and were surprised. While not on par with the restaurants in DC, it was better than anything that we had encountered out around Dulles - within about a 25 mi. radius.
We finally gave up on trying to find a good restaurant, out by Dulles, and just do the Hilton's little bistro.
re: Bill Hunt
There are great places to eat near Dulles in Sterling and Chantilly, but maybe not the kind of food you are looking for:
re: Steve
Maybe we need to try to "venture out" again, but with monumental failures, I had given up.
One, Russia House, needed to get Gordon Ramsay, to do a "Kitchen Nightmares" episode. Great little couple, but totally lost in many respects.
We did two Italian restaurants, where one was OK but the other bad, then a half-dozen touted seafood restaurants. They were all dismal, at the very best.
Obviously, with one night, 4x per year, one cannot hit them all, but we were batting 0.000, so I just caved in.
I was spending US4 80 for cabs, and then finding weak, to horrible food, so not worth my $'s.
re: Bill Hunt
There's also Mokomandy, which I greatly enjoyed recently thanks to recommendations from this board:
re: dracisk
I second MoKoMandy (Modern Korean by Mandy). It's completely unique to this or most areas. Cajun and Korean, but not a fusion of both. Incredible beer selection too.
re: Bill Hunt
Funny, but true.
Have you ever eaten at Nora?
re: law_doc89
Had to check, as I was not sure if Nora was in DC, or out by the airport (IAD). The menu looks very interesting, and like something that we would both enjoy.
Will need to check out the address on Florida, but looks very, very promising.
Thank you,
re: Bill Hunt
DC is all about what team you are on, not actually knowing anything. Nora has been a remarkable gem for 30 years, establishing, rather than following. Another interesting place is Le Zinc that has successfully fought off a terrible attack for not fitting in with the establishment newthink. It is across from the ever trendy 2 Amys and does a reasonable facsimile of a French bistro.
Unfortunately your hotel isn't walking distance to much. As some have mentioned CItyZen is in your hotel. I haven't tried it before so I can't really speak to it's quality but many people like it.
In terms of higher end (and easy to cab to) I would recommend Komi (if you can get a reservation), the Source, J & G Steakhouse or Equinox.
Since you seem to like some Southern/Cajun food (Vidalia/Acadiana) you might want to check out a much more casual spot called Pearl Dive on 14th Street. 14th is a newer neighborhood and you likely haven't been there before. Lots of great restaurants (including Le Diplomat, Birch and Barley and Estadio). Any of those choices would give you a great, more casual meal out.
Finally you might want to check out Central since you liked Citronelle so much. Or you could go to Mintwood (personally one of my favorite restaurants in DC) which was opened by the former Central chef. Wonderful french influenced bistro cusine.
re: Elyssa
Komi and Equinox will be investigated. We have a J&G Steakhouse at the Phoenician, which replaced Mary Elaine's (a very good to great formal restaurant), so I can get that here. I think that Phoenix now has more "absentee celebrity chef steakhouses" per capita (4.1M), than any other city in the US. We seldom do such here, and would not think of doing so elsewhere (Capital Grille, DC is an exception).
Mintwood is also new to me, and looks interesting.
Cabs are not an issue, it's just that I like to walk, when I can.
Thank you,
- City Zen is the most obvious choice, given it's reputation and location for you
- Fiola for fine Italian, though the atmosphere is more casual than you might expect given the food and prices. At its best Fiola is phenomenal
- if you've never been to Rasika, go (either location) and order anything you haven't seen on another Indian menu before (in other words, no reason to try Chicken Tikka Masala there)
- Izakaya Seki -- no it's not "fine dining" and they don't take reservations for parties less than 5. But if you're open, sit at the bar in front of the chef and tell him to make you what's best today and enjoy.

Germany, 2008 (MIFF 2009, Next Gen)
Director: Marco Kreuzpaintner
Based on a bestselling German children's book, Krabat is a 17th-century tale of magic, love and the battle between good and evil.
Lured by dreams of ravens to a mysterious stone mill, 14-year-old orphan Krabat is initiated into a secret brotherhood of apprentice sorcerers. This education in the magical arts comes straight out of the kingdom of mythology - secret spells, black cloaks, shape shifting and leaps between dimensions.
But is becoming a sorcerer all is cracked up to be? David Kross (The Reader) and Daniel Brühl (The Edukators), who star in this phantastical fable, take a reality check as they uncover the secrets of their dark master.
MIFF Recommends: Age 14+. Some frightening scenes.

As blues drama goes, Buddy Guy may be feeling old this week, but at least he doesn't feel superfluous. Jon Spencer, the mutton-chopped leader of the blues-exploding outfit that bears his name, has seen the garage-rock/dirty-blues resurrection he's been leading nearly singlehandedly for a decade swing into vogue in the past year, with pipsqueaks like the White Stripes and the Strokes earning the critical accolades Spencer used to get and the mainstream sales he's never managed. Meanwhile, Plastic Fang, Spencer's new album, provides a dependably rowdy trip through the usual terrain--chickenscratch guitars, stomping drums, Spencer's lusty yowl--but continues down the same gentle incline the Blues Explosion has been on since 1994's Orange, when the riffs and the jokes and the sex last combined in equal measure.
What's sort of sad about it is that Spencer seems like he's doing the best he can: He brags about chewing a big wad of Bazooka on "Hold On," but can't produce a groove chewy enough to back it up; he appropriates '50s B-movie rebel-as-werewolf shtick on "Killer Wolf" (and in the album's packaging) but sounds like your dad reliving old glories; "She Said" actually arranges itself into a melody but then just sort of hangs there. Compare that with Jack White's ability to tell a young man's story that sounds 80 years old, or Julian Casablancas' maddeningly casual way with a mike stand, and Spencer starts to look like the bluesman that time forgot. Not quite fair for someone who's paid his dues and made the water safe for the next generation, to be sure. But don't forget that Spencer's the same guy who once covered Exile on Main Street and made it sound like a black hole wired to a demolished Marshall half-stack--even originators occasionally feel the sting of poetic justice.

Simple Webcam Capture 1.3
Clean looks
The interface is pretty straightforward and, to guide users through the whole screenshot capturing process, it even comes with four numbered steps and intuitive features.
Pick the device
First of all, the user has to choose an image capture device which should actually be the webcam currently connected to their computer. If you have more than one capture installed on your PC, choose the one you intend to use and skip to the next step.
Take snapshots and set up file naming rules
If you wish to save the captured photos in a given folder, you must enable the 'Capture to File' feature that also gives you the power to place a suffix in the filename and adjust JPEG quality.
Automatic capturing mode and hotkeys
The third step is actually an option because Simple Capture also supports timed snipping, which means it can take a new screenshot at a given interval.
Last but not least, there's the option to choose a hotkey that will enable you to take screenshots on the go, without the need of opening the app every time. The application runs on low computer resources, which means your system should be able to handle it without glitches.
Bottom line
All in all, Simple Webcam Capture is probably one of the easiest ways to take screenshots using your webcam as a source. The feature pack is sufficient but not very impressive, so overall, it does what it's supposed to and nothing more.

Kyle Maynard Inspired Boys and Girls Club Supporters To Give
Updated On: Mar 14 2014 12:13:15 PM CDT
Kyle Maynard didn't need a wheelchair ramp to get on stage to give his latest inspirational speech. Maynard crawled up and onto a leather chair where he proceeded to tell the story of how he crawled to the top of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
Maynard, 27, was born without his his lower limbs. His family never talked about what he couldn't do. His grandmother showed him how a simple handshake would put people at ease and remind them of how much they have in common.
Maynard was the keynote speaker at the 12th Annual Great Future For Kids Breakfast at the Residence Inn By Marriott River Ridge in Oxnard. The free breakfast serves a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme.
Maynard captured the crowd's attention by sharing the importance of having supportive people around him as he accomplished his dream. He believes the Boys and Girls Clubs offers young people a place where they can overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
Maynard signed copied of his book "No Excuses," after the program.
His inspirational speaking tour heads to Las Vegas next.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Business suffers while waiting for license
Updated On: Jun 17 2014 08:37:00 PM CDT
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - Jonny Formby is a local businessman unable to open his business. Formby owns Everwood Manor, a five-bedroom senior care facility. The property has been cleared by the fire marshal, the clients are waiting to take their rooms, but getting a license has been the hardest part of all. "Everyone has said to me that licensing a facility, six bedders or eight bedders, is taking way too long," said Formby.
According to Formby, the Department of Social Services in Riverside County is understaffed and has far more applications to go over than the workers to process them. Formby said, "There are probably 198 what we've been told, applications in front of us, since the beginning of the application process, which is fine." But he added, "if you don't have enough admin to clear those then you're going to backlog blacklog backlog because every month you're going to get another 50 and another 50 and you're not going to be able to keep up."
Formby said his most recent application was made in January of 2014, but according to a state official, they say his application was received on March 17th. The process should still only take 90 days, but Formby hasn't gotten approved. The bills continue to pile up and the bank will soon take action. "They're calling in the loan. Period. So there is no two ways about it, they're calling in the loan, and in american's language they're asking you to give back the keys and you lose the business."
Formby said he's not the only one going through the tedious process, citing at least over 100 other small business owners in his same situation. The state official responded, stating there is no backlog and the state is committed to working with their current applicants in the most timely way possible.

Risk, not security
Tuesday, 1 May 2007, 1:00 AM EST
Dealing with security piecemeal is like putting out a thousand fires. Now, are you a fireman or a CIO?
We have to shift the emphasis on IT security to larger discussion about business risk. Why? Because we associate IT security with things that have become a very small subset of a much larger and continually growing circle of information technology risk.

Cheapskate National Express asks passengers to snoop
I moan a lot about Southeastern trains, but I found yesterday a train firm that's worse than them by a long shot. I went to visit a pal in Waltham Cross yesterday, taking a train from scruffy and horrible Hackney Downs station through more scruffy and horrible stations up to the bleak corner that is Waltham Cross station. The train itself had a garish carpet and was heated to a near-suffocating level on a sunny day, a bit like being in an old lady's living room on wheels. Oyster card? Not on your nelly, for although the Hertfordshire town is the terminus for a clutch of London buses, the rail station sits defiantly outside the zones, without even a destination board to tell you if your train's going to be late. If you don't drive, places like this feel like the edge of the civilised world as London's well-planned transport network peters out.
All this is down to National Express trains, which pocketed £3.10 from me for the journey, but without the courtesy of even checking my ticket. I may as well have not bothered. It's the typical high fares-easy to avoid paying policy which is helping these firms get into a pickle – the opposite of the low fares-hard to avoid policy on London Overground, on which I'd travelled to Hackney. The trains are dirty and infrequent, the stations are gloomy and lack staff or helpful information, and the whole experience is just grim. At least Southeastern knows how to use mops and brooms.
In fact, National Express seems to be such a bunch of cheapskates, it even has a notice in each carriage telling you to text "dodger" to 60006 "if you believe a fellow customer is deliberately evading payment of their fare". Yup, they've even got the brass neck to ask customers to do their job for them. Ironically, National Express is trying to avoid its own responsiblities, and is trying to get out of paying the socking great sums they're supposed to pay the government to run the east coast mainline, having mistaken a public service for a licence to print money.
I did think about texting the names of National Express's management to 60006, suggesting that they should cough up or hand their franchises back – but instead, peered out of the dirty windows and willed on the end of the journey. Liverpool Street couldn't come soon enough.
3 Responses
Leaving the many many many evils of National Express aside – that line has ever been pretty dreadful. There was a booklet written about it by a some campaign group – I forget who and when (1980s??) – called 'The Clandestine Railway' which drew attention to the state of the trains and the difficulty of identifying the stations, and if trains actually stopped at them.
My experiences of National Express are varied… I've never had my ticket checked between Stratford and Liverpool Street (which owing to the fact the London Overground runs that way is half of my £2.20 journey from North Greenwich) however I've made several journeys into East Anglia changing trains at Norwich… and had my ticket checked on each of the four trains involved in the return journey. I did notice those signs for reporting fare dodgers too… and my first thought was "yeah, right".
I wonder if you could report yourself for fare dodging?
Hackney Downs is a pretty grim station – it rarely seems to be staffed too. However, you can use Oyster PAYG there, as far north as Seven Sisters, Tottenham Hale and Walthamstow Central. It's quite handy when transferring from the tube at Liverpool Street, as it counts as one journey.
