Oct 31, 2014, 2:44 PM EST
Dirks missed the entire season following back surgery and then a hamstring injury.
Andy Dirks shut down with pain in surgically-repaired back
Jul 16, 2014, 9:35 PM EST
Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks had back surgery at the beginning of spring training and has yet to appear in a major league game this season. He's not getting any closer either.
2014 Preview: Detroit Tigers
Mar 28, 2014, 10:21 PM EST
Between now and Opening Day, HardballTalk will take a look at each of baseball's 30 teams, asking the key questions, the not-so-key questions, and generally breaking down their chances for the 2014 season.

Tigers sign J.D. Martinez
Mar 24, 2014, 2:14 PM EST
J.D. Martinez, who was released by the Astros over the weekend, has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers. Martinez was a semi-regular for Houston during the past three seasons, logging 975 plate appearances, but he hit just .251 with 24 homers and a .687 OPS as a corner outfielder. He's still just 26…
The Tigers discussed a possible comeback for 46-year-old Omar Vizquel
Mar 22, 2014, 5:07 PM EST
When it was announced that defensive whiz Jose Iglesias would miss most (or all) of the season with stress fractures in both of his legs, the Tigers said they were content with considering internal replacements at shortstop. That search apparently included the coaching staff, as Tigers manager Brad Ausmus acknowledged to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com…
Could the Tigers make a play for Stephen Drew?
Mar 15, 2014, 2:10 PM EST
The Mets and Red Sox have been mentioned most often as possible landing spots for free agent shortstop Stephen Drew, but as these situations often go, he might end up in an unexpected place. Peter Gammons brought up an interesting possibility earlier today: I would not bet against rumor sending Stephen Drew to Tigers —…
Andy Dirks needs back surgery, out three months
Mar 4, 2014, 4:46 PM EST
Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks is expected to miss at least 12 weeks following back surgery, the team announced. Dirks had been slated to platoon with free agent signing Rajai Davis in left field, taking most of the playing time as the left-handed-hitting option, so his injury opens the door for Davis to take on a bigger…
Tigers downplay interest in Nelson Cruz
Jan 25, 2014, 1:05 PM EST
Nelson Cruz is still looking for a home in free agency and the Tigers have surprised us with some late offseason additions before, so some have speculated that they could make sense as a possible match, but general manager Dave Dombrowski downplayed the possibility when asked by reporters at the team's annual TigerFest today: Dombrowski…
UPDATE: Rajai Davis agrees to a two-year deal with the Tigers
Dec 10, 2013, 9:00 AM EST
UPDATE: Looks like the deal is done: two years with the Tigers, reports Ben Nicholson-Smith. The details are unknown. 9AM: Ben Nicholson-Smith reports that the Tigers are the frontrunners for Rajai Davis. Since, according to Smith, Davis is expected to sign quickly, it would appear that he's crossing the Ambassador Bridge and heading for Motown. Davis…
Tigers will be hard-pressed to make big signing this winter
Nov 3, 2013, 7:10 PM EST
The Tigers have made a habit of big splashes in the offseasons. Three years ago, it was Victor Martinez. Then Prince Fielder. Last winter, the Tigers signed both Anibal Sanchez and Torii Hunter. Those deals have helped them reach the postseason each year, but the ultimate prize has remained out of reach. As the Tigers…

Jhonny Peralta open to returning to Tigers as left fielder
Oct 20, 2013, 4:37 PM EST
John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press has the story from Boston: Jhonny Peralta is a free agent, and the Tigers have filled his position with Jose Iglesias. So early this morning, in a corner of the cramped clubhouse after the season ended, Peralta was asked, "Have you thought about telling the Tigers you would…

Henderson Alvarez completes wild walkoff no-hitter
Sep 29, 2013, 2:41 PM EST
Here's something we definitely didn't see coming. Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez has no-hit the American League Central-champion Tigers through seven innings Sunday in Miami. It's not a fully-loaded Detroit lineup for Game 162, but Prince Fielder is in there along with Jhonny Peralta, Omar Infante and a couple other regulars. Miguel Cabrera, Austin Jackson, Victor…
Jhonny Peralta is starting in left field for the Tigers tonight
Sep 27, 2013, 5:40 PM EST
Jhonny Peralta's Biogenesis suspension is over. The Tigers have clinched the division. So it's experiment time: Jhonny Peralta will start in LF tonight. He'll play LF part of all three games in Miami. — Jason Beck (@beckjason) September 27, 2013 And it's a pretty smart experiment. Jose Iglesias is a great gloveman at short and…
Trailing by six runs in ninth, Tigers score six, win in 12
Sep 21, 2013, 11:30 PM EST
Trailing 6-0 in the bottom of the ninth, the Tigers rallied for six runs against the White Sox bullpen to send the game into extra innings. They pushed across a bases-loaded run for the walk-off win in the 12th inning, reducing their magic number over the Indians in the AL Central to two. Tigers starter…
Tigers will have Jhonny Peralta play left field to prep for return from suspension
Sep 16, 2013, 3:55 PM EST
Last week the Tigers announced that Jhonny Peralta would start working out with the team again in preparation for potentially coming back from his 50-game suspension for the playoffs, but if he does rejoin the team apparently it won't be at shortstop. Peralta has been the Tigers' starting shortstop for the past three seasons, starting…
Miguel Cabrera exits after two innings with abdominal irritation
Aug 30, 2013, 8:05 PM EST
Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera left Thursday's game with "abdominal discomfort" but felt good enough tonight to make the start at the hot corner against the Indians. Unfortunately, he was only able to go two innings tonight due to abdominal irritation, striking out in his only plate appearance. Andy Dirks took over at third base.…
Torii Hunter hits a three-run walkoff homer to steal a win from the A's

The A's had smacked the Tigers around for three days and then sprung out to a 6-1 lead after five innings in their series wrapup against the Tigers today. All this with Miguel Cabrera sidelined after leaving the game with an abdominal injury. Max Scherzer looked destined for only his second loss of the year…

Posted Friday, May 24, 2013 --- 7: 40 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- An elementary school principal has inspired the University of Wisconsin-Madison to create a new wheelchair lift that could help make more places wheelchair accessible.
The invention process began three years ago when the principal at Emerson Elementary School in Madison, Karen Kepler, told a school donor her biggest wish was for her building to become accessible to everyone. All four entrances had stairs.
The donor went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for help.
Engineering professor Jay Martin, his students and others came up with the Funicular. It's a platform that uses rollers and a modified chain hoist. It allows users to move up the stairway by turning their wheels on the rollers.
Martin says it's still in the prototype phase but several companies have expressed interest in producing it.

The Past in the Present deals with the complexities in the operation and management of living heritage sites. It presents a new interpretation of such sites based on the concept of continuity, and its evolution to the present. It is demonstrated that the current theoretical framework and practice of conservation, as best epitomised in a values-based approach and the World Heritageconcept, is based on discontinuity created between the monuments(considered to belong to the past) and the people of the present, thus seemingly unable to embrace living heritage sites. From this position, the study suggests an innovative approach that views communities and sites as an inseparable entity: a Living Heritage Approach. This approach brings a new insight into key concepts such as authenticity and sustainable development. Through the use of the monastic site of Meteora, Greece, as a case study, the discussion generated aims to shift the focus of conservation from 'preservation' towards a continual process of 'creation' in an ongoing present, attempting to change the way heritage is perceived, protected and, more importantly, further created.Book Details Read This Book
Writing as Material Practice grapples with the issue of writing as a form of material culture in its ancient and more recent manifestations, and in the contexts of production and consumption. Fifteen case studies explore the artefactual nature of writing — the ways in which materials, techniques, colour, scale, orientation and visibility inform the creation of inscribed objects and spaces, as well as structure subsequent engagement, perception and meaning making. Covering a temporal span of some 5000 years, from c.3200 BCE to the present day, and ranging in spatial context from the Americas to the Near East, the chapters in this volume bring a variety of perspectives which contribute to both specific and broader questions of writing materialities. The authors also aim to place past graphical systems in their social contexts so they can be understood in relation to the people who created and attributed meaning to writing and associated symbolic modes through a diverse array of individual and wider social practices.Book Details Read This Book
Untangling the various approaches to language teaching and their history, Gerdi Quist maps recent thinking in language studies at university. Using an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, drawn from educational philosophy, cultural studies, intercultural studies and language pedagogy, the author discusses the many tensions and currents in contemporary language teaching.The author puts forward an alternative pedagogy, that of a cultuurtekst-perspective, which engages learners at complex linguistic and cultural levels. In discussing the case study in which this approach is tested, the author develops her argument for embracing various critical perspectives through the personal engagement of students. From the start the author acknowledges her own engaged position as a language teacher in a liberal humanistic educational environment. She adopts a self -critical perspective through which her engagement with adverse student reaction leads to deepening insights both for the author and her students as part of the non-linear process of learning. Gerdi Quist teaches Dutch language and lectures on multiculturalism and intercultural communication. Recent publications included a book chapter and journal articles on language pedagogy and intercultural communication.Book Details Read This Book
London is one of the world's leading cities. It is home to an extraordinary concentration and diversity of people, industries, politics, religions and ideas, and plays an important role in our highly globalised and tightly networked modern world.What does the future hold for London? Investigating any aspect of the city's future reveals a complex picture of interrelations and dependencies. The London 2062 Programme from University College London brings a new, cross-disciplinary and highly collaborative approach to investigating this complexity. The programme crosses departmental boundaries within the university, and promotes active collaboration between leading academics and those who shape London through policy and practice.This book approaches the question of London's future by considering the city in terms of Connections, Things, Power and Dreams.Book Details Read This Book
Nel pomeriggio dell'8 maggio 2006, a conclusione della prima edizione del workshop "Open source, free software e open format nei processi di ricerca archeologici", proponemmo di ripetere la fruttuosa esperienza appena conclusa a Grosseto. Come gruppo IOSA, facente capo all'Istituto Internazionale di Studi Liguri, avevamo preliminarmente ottenuto la disponibilità da parte della sezione di Genova (di cui era allora presidente il prof. Tiziano Mannoni) a ospitare una seconda edizione dell'incontro. Il workshop del 2007 doveva costituire (e ha costituito) una prosecuzione delle discussioni avviate nel 2006 sull'uso e sviluppo di software libero e open source in tutti gli ambiti dell'archeologia, a cui sono dedicati la maggior parte degli interventi qui pubblicati. A Genova, inoltre, per la prima volta nella storia di questi incontri, fu avviato un dibattito sulle modalità di accesso e disseminazione dei dati archeologici all'interno della comunità scientifica, che si è rivelato centrale negli anni successivi.Book Details Read This Book
This is a book about Strindberg and about the nature of autobiographical writing. In this sensitive and discerning study, Michael Robinson has turned aside from the more traditional biographical approach to Strindberg. Instead he sets out to explore the highly idiosyncratic way in which Strindberg projected himself in language, looking at the problems which this brought in its trail, and laying bare the subterfuges it engendered. He has not limited himself to those works explicitly designated by Strindberg as autobiographical, but ranges widely over the dramas, the narratives and other prose works.Book Details Read This Book
In a celebratory moment of the Paradiso, Dante has Thomas go round the circle of sage spirits identifying each in turn in point of proper calling and confirming how it is that self is everywhere present to the other-than-self as a co-efficient of being in the endless and endlessly varied instantiation of that being. The image, at once perfectly Dantean and perfectly resplendent, underlies and informs these conversations of mine with Kenelm; for if in reading and rereading the cherished text, I have from time to time felt the need to enter a qualification, it is a matter here, as in the high consistory of paradise, of otherness as both contained and as authorized by sameness, as conditioned and set free by it for a life of its own. Never, in other words, is it a question in what follows of the stark alternativism of the sed contra, but instead a matter of formed friendship, of the kind of friendship which, conceived in love, makes for a sweet choreography of the spirit.Book Details Read This Book
Christopher Ryan's study of Dante and Aquinas, touching on issues of nature and grace, of explicit and implicit faith, and of desire and destiny, is intended to mark the difference between them in key areas of theological sensibility. Re-shaped and revised by John Took on the basis of papers made available to him from Christopher Ryan's estate, it seeks to deepen our understanding of one of the great cultural encounters in European letters.Book Details Read This Book
In this volume Strindberg's accomplishments as a dramatist are set against his achievements in other fields, as an autobiographer, painter, letter writer and theatre director.There are studies of individual plays, in which Strindberg's theatre is related both to naturalism and the theatre of the absurd, and of the role played by his life-long interest in historical drama. Other essays range from studies of the problems posed by Strindberg's preoccupation with converting his own life into literature to a consideration of the importance he placed on letterwriting as a model for writing of all kinds. His letters are also used to explore his ideas about the theatre. A recurring concern is with the period of turmoil known as the Inferno Crisis, in which Strindberg refashioned himself as a writer. Robinson examines the importance of Strindberg's painting for his renewal as a writer and situates the achievement of his later works in relation to Symbolism and to Musical Expressionism.Book Details Read This Book

Disney building Frozen movie attraction
16 September 2014 09:43:25 timesofmalta.com
Walt Disney Co. is adding a new attraction based on the movie Frozen to its Epcot theme park in Orlando, Florida, the media company's latest move to capitalise on the popularity of the blockbuster animated film. The attraction in the Norway Pavilion will bring to life the world of Arendelle, the Scandinavian setting for the icy kingdom inhabitedby two princesses, Anna and Elsa. It will replace a boat ride called Maelstrom. The attraction "will take our guests to Arendelle and immerse them in many of their favourite moments and music from the film," Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said. The Frozen presence will grow elsewhere at Disney parks. At the Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando, Cinderella's Castle will be transformed into an ice palace each night starting in early November, Staggs said. Frozen is the highest-grossing animated movie of all time with global ticket sales of $1.3 billion, according to Box Office Mojo.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A woman accused of abducting her newborn nephew in Wisconsin and abandoning him outside a gas station in Iowa has pleaded not guilty to a federal kidnapping charge.
Prosecutors say Kristen Smith of Aurora, Colo., kidnapped four-day-old Kayden Powell from the Town of Beloit home where the boy's parents were staying earlier this month.
Police arrested her at an Iowa gas station hours later and discovered the baby in a crate outside another nearby gas station the next morning. The child was alive and well despite being left in frigid temperatures for more than 24 hours.
A federal grand jury indicted her on a kidnapping count last week. She pleaded not guilty to the charge on Wednesday.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Crocker scheduled her trial to begin on June 23.

Calgary Dinner Theatres Wind Down for the Summer
I was walking through Prince's Island park last week on the first of our chilly mornings and came across a couple of pre-schoolers with their Mom on the way to the Y. They were having fun chasing gulls in the park ("you don't chase geese, because they bite"). One of them turned to me and said "My nose is cold." I suggested that maybe it was because she wasn't dressed for the suddenly cool weather. She responded matter-of-factly, "It's still summer, you know". I assured her that indeed it still was.
So, while theatre companies are in the throes of getting their Fall seasons ready and parents are in the throes of getting their children ready for school, several musicals are winding up for the summer. With the exception of Les Miserables at Storybook (school edition), which opened this week – the Calgary Musicals+ Meetup group is going closing night Sept 6 if you'd care to join us - the rest are dinner theatre shows that have been on all summer.
Closing this week are Chickens at Rosebud Theatre and Avenue Q at Stage West. Jubilations Dinner Theatre 's The Big Boom Theory 2: Time Travelling Geeks closes next weekend.
I haven't seen Chickens – like a lot of people, I was probably put off by the title, but I'm told by people who've seen it that this story of a bankrupt farmer who has one last chance to save the farm by investing in exotic chickens, is hilarious. If the idea of singing, dancing chickens appeals to you, you might want to give it a try. For more information, tickets and a sample of the music, go to www.rosebudtheatre.com
I can recommend both of the other two, however, particularly Avenue Q, which I saw last week. I first saw the show when Storybook Theatre did it a couple of years ago and was blown away by it. I wouldn't have thought a musical with people walking around on stage holding Muppet-like characters and singing songs like "It Sucks to Be Me" and "The Internet is for Porn" would appeal to me, but I was really impressed. I'm sure that the secret of its success has to do with the dichotomy of having childlike puppets saying (and doing) "dirty" things. Certainly there are things puppets can get away with, that conventional actors can't, which is some of the charm and fun of the show. Stage West's version, directed by Calgary favourite Mark Bellamy is top-notch - and includes many well-known and emerging Calgary actors (Katherine Fadum, Christian Goutsis, Madeleine Suddaby and Selina Wong). I particularly enjoyed the "Bad Idea Bears" modelled on the Care Bears, who would suggest to the protagonist, Princeton (played by Jeremy Crittenden) that since he was depressed, unemployed and broke he should use his rent money to buy beer – "it's cheaper by the case" -and then cheer whenever he did whatever they suggested (and he usually did, to his detriment). I love it when Stage West does "real" musicals, rather than revues, and I have to admit I was surprised they put this R rated show in their programme, as it's more risqué than their usual fare. I know there was pretty much a full house when I went, so hopefully we'll see more of that kind of offering there in future. For information and tickets go to www.stagewestcalgary.com (Did you know Thursday is Ladies night and they have discounts for tables of 4? I didn't).
Big Boom Theory 2: Time Travelling Geeks (written by Matt Falk, directed by Randy Apostle) at Jubilations Dinner Theatre, is a sequel to last year's successful Big Boom Theory, both of which are jukebox musical spoofs of the popular TV series (Jubilations' bread and butter as it were). I've only seen Big Bang Theory a few times, and although I like it, I'm not a big follower, so I'm sure some of the humour was lost on me. This was not the best offering I've seen at Jubilations (my personal favourite in recent years is still Ghostbusted) – but I expect this would appeal very much to fans of the TV show, and there are plenty of them. I was particularly impressed with the dancing talents of Jeff Rivet (Howard) and Aimee Beaudoin (Penny) and Andrea Bailey (Amy) 's geeky strip-tease. For information and tickets go to www.jubilations.ca
If that's not enough, Cornerstone Theatre's annual Oh Canada Eh? show runs through to October. For more information and tickets, go to http://atthecorner.ca
I'll be posting the Fall musical theatre schedule shortly so check back soon to see what's coming up in September. As usual, lots to choose from.

CTIA Wireless: ShowStoppers highlights some of the latest cutting edge gadgets
Summary: CTIA Wireless 2011 has commenced in Orlando, Florida. Here's a look at some of the latest gadgets that were shown off at ShowStoppers on Monday.
12 of 19Image
Otterbox brought many protective cases for mobile gadgets to CTIA. The premier series is the Defender line, which incorporates three layers of protection: a silicone exterior, a polycarbonite inside and a built-in screen protector. There are also some other touches, such as the felt interior addition to protect the glass casing of the iPhone 4. That case is available now for $49.
OtterBox is also gearing up accessories for the iPad 2, including one very similar to an existing product for the Motorola Xoom. The casings for tablets are similar to those for smartphones with the three layers of protection. Expect the new case to hover around $89.95.
OtterBox rounds out its collection of protective cases with the Reflex series, which is based on the crumple zone of a car. Intended for making devices easier to dock when wearing cases, the Reflex design slides apart simply. The iPhone 4 model will retail for $49.95 and will be available for purchase "very soon."

I was wondering and simply throwing this out there to see what you guys, fellow tanks, think about it. What potions should a tank use? The choice is between health pots and armor ones. Nevertheless, as a Prot Pala I have selfheals other than lock cookies (WoG is out of the GCD and can save your life very easily), but what would be the most optimal in regards to the raid team? Pots for those "omg" moments and heal yourself a bit in emergencies or the armor ones which are basically one more cd to use? (Those make sense for prepotting too).
Thank you for your answers (:

Simple to Elegant
My husband and I hired Simple to elegant because we recently moved due to his career in the military and we wanted to get married back home, I read reviews on other pages and I thought I was making the right decision, sadly I learned quickly after we paid that what they advertise and promise you is just to get you to sign there contract. Jeanette was my consultant and she is the owner, she was wonderful the first time I met her but then she changed. It was like she had to many weddings to do and she couldn't keep track of which one she was doing. I wanted simple decor for the pews in the church and she tried to talk me into doing them myself even after we paid the extra money for them to decorate the church. She would tell you she would contact the DJ or banquet hall but never do it and you may hear from her in an email ever once in awhile if your lucky but don't expect a fast response. Once the big day came it really was surprising that even though she was the planner that worked with me through the entire process she did not show up to the ceremony or to the reception. When I got to the banquet hall non of the correct linens were on the table and when I asked the "stand in wedding planner" she said there was never anything written down how we had planned the banquet. All in all for the price and the lack of professionalism there are many more talented and professorial wedding planners out there. Don't hire Simple to Elegant you will be very unsatisfied.

Play 2048 in the Terminal with Bash 2048
Productivity Sauce
The 2048 game is as addictive as it is simple. Use the arrow keys to move tiles. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a tile with the total value of the two collided tiles. For example, when two 32 tiles collide, they merge into a 64 tile. The purpose of the game is to reach the 2048 tile. It might sound simple, but it's far from it. Depending on your skills, a typical game takes 5-10 minutes to play, which makes it a perfect diversion for short breaks during the day.
To play the original game, you need a browser and an Internet connection. But if you want to play 2048 offline from the convenience of the command line, you'll appreciate the Bash shell implementation of the game. Clone the project's GitHub repository with the git clone https://github.com/mydzor/bash2048.git command, switch to the bash2048 directory in the terminal, and run the bash2048.sh script.comments powered by Disqus

Cape Town: My Current Favourites
- Gooseberry Aug 12, 2009 10:44 AM
I feel really bad as a Capetonian that there's rarely responses to Cape Town based questions on this board, so here are my current favourites. Please note this is based on where I, as a local, choose to eat, which is rarely the expensive nouvelle cuisine places in the Winelands or the centre of town, which I frankly find all sort of the same and boring.
A seaside institution. Still has great atmosphere, view of the fishing boats in Kalkbay Harbour, and I think a really fresh menu, which changes daily. They get the fish straight off the boats. No reservations, so come early or wait in line. Otherwise you could try Live Bait on the harbour wall, or Kalkies, also on the harbour, for fried fish and chips like the locals enjoy.
The cheapest sit-down Indian food in Cape Town. Very popular with Muslim families from the Bo-Kaap, or after Mosque. Darling Street, opposite the post office. There's no sign, just an open archway. No frills, but cheerful atmosphere. Grab a falooda (Cape Malay pink milkshake) and choose from curry of the day, dosas, tandoor, etc. Potato pakoras rock. Mainly Indian, with a little bit of confused (don't get the chinese food or shwarma!) and Malay thrown in for good measure.
Affected nightclubby atmosphere, but the best Chinese food in Cape Town, bar none.
Bar salon on Bree Street. Trendy, fun decor and umbrellas outside on the square. Menu is very meat-centric (sausage, anyone?) but a good place to get a traditional boerewors roll and a beer.
A strictly daytime kiosk overlooking the street with benches for those so inclined, the bakery attached to the restaurant of the same name makes seriously good bread, and seriously good sandwiches. Grab some on the way to Campsbay or Clifton or the Table Mountain cable car for a picnic. Bloem Street, off Long.
Get yr hotel to organise transport to this one, a mainly open air braai joint in the townships. very good meat, township vibe, and everyone's friendly. Leave the vegetarians at home.
Saturdays, 9-2pm. Food market. Can get quite crowded, but has the greatest concentration of seriously good food in one area in all of Cape Town. People say it's expensive and precious, and it is that, but on a food level, it offers a wonderful selection of local and international foods, and lots of new and quirky food ideas. There's a sister design and clothing market next door, for those inclined to see some local design (Heartworks store in the complex also offers great locallymade gifts and mementos).
Massimo's Pizza Club (pizzaclub.co.za)
Only open Wednesday through Saturday nights, on the main road into Hout Bay, offers the best pizzas in Cape Town with unique concept - all the pizzas are passed around and shared by all diners.
If you're going to the Winelands (and please don't - it's so full of tourists during high season that I avoid it!), French Connection does genuinely good, simple food (so if you're looking for gastrique this and garnished that, you'll be disappointed) on the Franschhoek main drag. My parents were at Solms Delta yesterday, and said lunch was unaffected and charming (and there's a great slavery and apartheid mini-museum there, for history buffs). Reubens has great service and the food's good. Le Quartier's tasting menu is legendary, but it takes about four hours and is a bit fiddly (I've done it once, enjoyed it, but prob wouldn't do it again). Bread and Wine at Moreson is probably my favourite, with food that's sophisticated and simple, for all tastes (you don't need a reservation to sit at the charcuterie bar in the deli and have things like bacon-and-butter sandwiches, which is as good as it sounds).
re: Brandy Taylor
Brandy, I did muse on whether to add Bukhara to the list. It is certainly a superb restaurant, or was when I was last there about five years ago. The truth is, it's just too expensive. I know that price is a subjective thing, but when I think that I can get take outs from Bibi's Indian Kitchen in Wynberg (round the corner from me) for half the price, it makes it hard for me to justify bukhara. Is Bibi's as good as Bukhara? Difficult question. I'd say Bibi's is to homey Indian what Bukhara's is to restaurant fine dining.
I justify the cost of Haiku (owned by the same group as Bukhara), and the downright irritating decor and lighting, because there is no Bibi's equivalent in Cape Town's Chinese food firmament, in my opinion (most CT chinese food is greasy and a subtle as a chopstick in your eye).
Not a terribly convincing argument, but there you have it.
We check this board periodically to vicariously relive our visit to Cape Town last year, and I wish we had had this list - it appears to list the sort of down-to-earth places we gravitate to. I had printed out lots of ideas for high end places that we didn't get even close to; after each full and wonderful day of exploring, we returned to eat in the Observatory suburb, where our son was living while he studied at UCT. Every evening we met him at Obz Cafe, then, after a drink,we either ate there or elsewhere. So for you academics out there who may be on a budget, the meals we had in this part of town were very reasonable in price, ranged from ok to very good, and vibe was diverse, artsy, and studenty. The highlight was our meal at Cafe Ganesh.
re: Ms.M
I'm glad you had a great time.
I find it useful to read people's destination restaurants on this board: it reminds me that when I go to other countries' boards and ask for recommendations, to ask specifically for down to earth, simple places. Because if I was a visitor to Cape Town and only went to the high end places, it wouldn't be an accurate experience, or in my opinion as delicious an experience as it could be.
Obs has a great little cafe, on the corner of lower main road and Trill Rds, called something like Mango Ginger. Simple daily menu of sandwiches and soups. And a coffee milkshake which is truly marvellous. So I certainly won't turn my nose up at Obs!
I hope you come back for more down to earth food!
Hi, I'm also a Capetonian and would like to add a couple of restaurants that I really dig to Gooseberry's list:
Caveau in Newlands is in my opinion the most consistent restaurant without exorbitant prices. They have a small menu that changes daily. They focus on tapas which I actually tend to avoid since it comes out slowly. I've eaten there around 20 times and have always been impressed by the mains, both fish and meat. The wine list is comprehensive and is great if you're a foreigner since many of the wines can be ordered by the glass. The service is average, but its in a lovely environment (old mill next to a canal) and the food rocks!
Olympia is a must - but a warning to tourists: its quite loud and you often have to wait for a table. Very much a local hangout and lots of fun.
A great new Italian lunch place is Mezzeluna on Long street. The owner is from Roma and the food is cheap, simple Italian with great ingredients - refreshing since I would not recommend the majority of the Cape Town "Italian" restaurants.
For a splurge, I like Myoga at the Vineyard hotel - the prawn starter is probably the best prawn dish I've ever had. The sommelier is also excellent - please take his advice.
Probably the best restaurant at the upper-end of the price range is Bizerca in the CBD. Its in a stark, industrial space which I don't like, but the food is very put together with a great deal of talent.
I would recommend checking out http://www.rossouwsrestaurants.com/ for an uptodate blog by one of our better local restaurant critics.
Oh yes, and for the best cup of coffee in Cape Town check out Origin in Hudson Street, Greenpoint.
re: ElizabethS
You may find this link of interest:
What you're saying about Winelands is like telling visitors to France to avoid Burgundy or Bordeaux because of the high number of tourists... I find this odd (having been there twice, and returning next year to SA) as a major reason for visiting the Cape Province is to taste wines. But maybe I missed something there?
re: monchique
Hi Monchique
My tongue was firmly placed in my cheek - I was trying to say, don't go to the winelands, leave the winelands for me! Certainly visitors to the Cape should visit the Winelands. But I must say that as someone who spends a lot of time around Franschhoek, I would totally avoid the main drag; it's fun to drive around the streets and see the pretty houses, but if you're there for wine, I would generally stick to visiting and eating at wine farms. I find Franshhoek-proper to be crowded and overpriced during high season (since it's when most of the businesses make money!).
If you wanted to see a winelands town, Stellenbosch is far prettier with its oaks and cape dutch architecture, and I really think Paarl, which is for some reason avoided by tourists, is lovely too, and very authentic.
re: Gooseberry
Hi Goosberry,
I appreciate your posts very much, and am already drooling over our program next year in the Cape with the Algarve Wine Society! Strangely enough, I have stayed in both Stellenbosch and Paarl over the years, but never in Franshoek (although I have eaten there at Le Quartier Français). I agree with you, it looks too touristy for comfort!
I'll keep reading your posts!
re: lambretta76
Ignore my Le Quartier Francais issue - must've been a javascript issue the other day that prevented me from seeing the menus. Anyways, I do have a question regarding it, though - iCi? Tasting Room? 5-course? 8-course? Too many choices!
Also, I'll be a solo diner, so is there bar seating at Jardine or LQF?
re: lambretta76
You would not want to drive back to Cape Town from The Tasting Room after dinner, its about a 80 min drive.
There is not bar eating option at Jardine, but I have eaten solo there and it is fine at a table. There is actually bar seating for food at Bizerca Bistro which is a very good restaurant in the CBD. Lots of other bgreat restaurants too!
re: lambretta76
I haven't been at Jardine's in months, but the food and the service has always been awesome in the past.
Updates to my original post, since I eat out more over the festive season than I do in the entire year.
If you need to pick up some gifts and the Waterfront leaves you cold, the new Cape Quarter, across the road from the Old Cape Quarter up the road in de Waterkant is really lovely. It has great local fashion and design. Pick up high quality curios and gifts at Heartworks and Africa Nova. Voila! in their restaurant area serves very good food. Best zucchini fries in town...
Miss K further down the road in Greenpoint serves I feel the best eggs benedict in town (my husband is big into eggs benedict!).
I still hold that the Biscuit Mill is an important destination for chowhound tourists. But if you have kids, I think the Porter Estate Market on Saturdays in Tokai is more fun, since it's set in a baboon-laden pine forest and there's more space to run around and less crowds. This is off the beaten track (i.e. the centre of town) but it is a good place to stop as part of a day heading down the peninsula.
If you find yourselves in the Southern Suburbs (you might if you visit Kirstenbosch, which you SHOULD do) the Gardener's Cottage at the Montebello Design Centre in NEwlands is a great place to experience classic Cape cafe/bistro fare (not bistro as in french, I mean more relaxed lunch venue with outdoor seating). It's a beautiful old cottage, with tables under the camphor trees, and after lunch you can buy good local curios at the Montebello shop, browse wooden sculptures, beadwork, metalwork and other things at the various design studios situated there. Do pop by the plant nursery - it's delightful to wander through. The other eating option at Montebello is Kwalapa, which specialises in organic raw food.
As Brandy suggested, Bukhara should be on this list, for those wanting very good Indian cuisine in Cape Town. I do find it a rather noisy venue, though.
I don't recommend French Connection any more - we had a really mediocre meal there a couple months ago. And while I do believe that you cannot judge a restaurant by one meal, really, with all this choice in Franschhoek, I don't feel any desire to go back.
I adore Solms Delta, with its Cape flavours and lovely restaurant, not to mention great wine tasting under the oaks, picnic baskets you can order to explore the vineyards with, and their excellent small museum examining archeological finds, slavery and Apartheid in the area.
I haven't been to Reuben's in ages, but I hear all is still well there, and I still go to Bread and Wine whenever I can. This place is very underrated,and I don't know why it isn't mentioned in the same category as all of the heavyweight restaurants in the valley.
And see my comments about Franschhoek vs Paarl vs Stellenbosch.
re: Gooseberry
We're in Simon's Town now for 3 weeks - thanks for posting this. I really want to go to the Neighbour Goods market but have read a few comments that parking is really difficult and the area is a bit dodgy - could you comment on that? Thks
re: ElizabethS
Parking is difficult to find and the place is rather dodgy. To get around the problem, just arrive early (around 9am)! DO NOT PARK IN LOADING ZONES! Sometimes, the cops will drop in and issue plenty of fines. Also, an additional tip: keep away from the quiches (they ALL have soggy crusts) and stay away from the stand selling cookies in the back. They look great, but taste terrible.
re: ElizabethS
Elizabeth, it can get pretty crowded, but I think you still should go if you are into markets. Parking is actually really easy for those in the know - directly across from the market is a technical college where for R10 you can park and walk a mere fifty metres to the market! I cannot remember the name of the street, but it is parallel to Albert street where the market is, just one block up (i.e. towards the market). It is accessed by turning left at the Salt River traffic circle and then right immediately. As for dodgy, it is perfectly fine during the day.
re: Gooseberry
These lists are great! Thanks everyone. I'm a New Yorker coming to Cape Town for the first time in two weeks. Staying for 2 weeks. I'm wondering if anyone can give advice on wineries that are WIETA certified? I would prefer to only visit these wineries. My husband is not a wine drinker, and both of us prefer low-key, rustic environments to the snooty expensive tastings. We are also interested in organic wineries. Any recommendations?

|A Remediation Program for Children at High-Risk of Schizophrenia: 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
|Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to collect preliminary data on the efficacy of a cognitive remediation program in improving the neurocognitive deficits in children with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). This study involves a two part approaching including a computerized cognitive remediation program (CCRP, Posit Science, CA) in combination with a Social Cognitive Training (SCT) program. The computer-based training program has shown encouraging results in improving learning deficits in individuals with schizophrenia and we now seek to adapt them to children with 22q11DS, who have unique needs due to their lower IQ and high risk of psychosis in late adolescence and adulthood. The SCT is a small-group intervention program based on cognitive enhancement therapy, which has been shown to improve social cognition and functionality in adults with schizophrenia. A preliminary study will be performed using this two-pronged approach, to establish the feasibility and gather preliminary data on neurocognition before and after the intervention in these children; these data would enable a larger randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of this approach.

Technical Advancement allows for 50% replacement
of petroleum based polyol. Up to four times more
renewable content than current products.
NCFI Polyurethanes (a division of Barnhardt Manufacturing) announced today the introduction of Bio-Lux™ Max. The expansion of the Bio-Lux™ line to include high renewable content cushioning gives NCFI's customers a broad range of options in renewable content products. Previously, NCFI offered Bio-Lux™ and Bio-Lux™ HR and this
introduction is another chapter in NCFI's long history of environmentally friendly initiatives.
"We have been working on this introduction for some time," says Chris Bradley, NCFI's Director of Sales for Consumer products. "Our customers have been asking us for a product that contained significantly higher amounts of renewable content than current products in the market. With the Bio-Lux™ MAX product, we have crossed a major barrier by replacing 50% of the petroleum based polyol with materials made with renewable resources." This breakthrough means that NCFI is also the first manufacturer to pass the 30% mark in terms of renewable material content. Bio-Lux™ Max foams will contain as much as 33% overall renewable content. "We fully expect to be at a 75% replacement level by the end of this year which will bring us beyond the 50% overall content level."
NCFI has long had a reputation of innovation and quality. Manufacturing high quality cushioning products has been a
tradition that they have taken seriously. "When we first introduced Bio-Lux™ three years ago," continued Bradley, "we stated our goal was to continually strive to maximize the renewable content of our products. This technological breakthrough allows us to offer a flexible foam product that contains the highest amount of renewable content in the market." Bio-Lux™ Max foams will contain up to four times more renewable raw materials than current offerings.
NCFI's source for their soy based polyol continues to be Cargill's BiOH® product line, which has proven to be a solid component throughout the history of NCFI's Bio-Lux™ project. "Cargill has been a key partner in the evolution of our Bio-Lux™ line of products," commented Bradley. "The quality and consistency of the BioH® material has been a vital part of this groundbreaking project."
"We are excited to partner with NCFI on this industry breakthrough in replacing 50% of the petroleum-based polyol with BiOH® materials," said Yusuf Wazirzada, Business Unit Leader of Cargill Biobased Polyurethanes. "This is a major milestone in our journey of creating ingredients for foam products with increasingly higher levels of renewable content."
NCFI Polyurethanes, a division of Barnhardt Manufacturing Company, is a North Carolina based manufacturer of polyurethane
products. Founded in 1964, NCFI Polyurethanes has a reputation for their innovation, quality and environmental stewardship.
Today, NCFI serves a multitude of markets including furniture, bedding, athletics, aviation, construction, insulation, roofing, medical, marine and automotive. More information can be found at www.ncfi.com.

text: Well said To be honest it's not something i've thought a lot about but it gives me food for thought, i'm the MT, raid leader and GM of our guild and so my absences are usually as few as possible, for that reason I tend to hog the lions share of the tanking. We raid with a second prot warrior who is equally as dedicated to raiding as me and yet he very rarely tanks bosses. We talk a lot about gear, encounters etc but in the end I still end up hogging the lead role while he gets best supporting actor in a tanking role. I shall endeavour to push him onto centre stage more often
