All Right Then
W.H. Auden won first prize for mathematics at St. Edmund's School in Hindhead, Surrey, when he was 13. He recalled being asked to learn the following mnemonic around 1919:
Minus times Minus equals Plus;
The reason for this we need not discuss.
Math Notes
1 + 2 = 3
1×2 + 2×3 + 3×4 = 4×5
1×2×3 + 2×3×4 + 3×4×5 + 4×5×6 = 5×6×7
1×2×3×4 + 2×3×4×5 + 3×4×5×6 + 4×5×6×7 + 5×6×7×8 = 6×7×8×9
In general, the sum of the first (n+1) products of consecutive n-tuples of consecutive integers is equal to the product of the next n-tuple.

Montmort's Theorem
Suppose n students are sitting at n desks in a classroom. They're asked to stand, mill around at random, and then sit again. What is the probability that at least one student will find herself in her original seat?
Intuition says that the probability ought to drop as the number of students increases, but in fact it remains about the same:
In fact, Pierre Rémond de Montmort showed in 1708 that it's
… which approaches 1 – 1/e, or about 0.63212. Whether there are 10 students or 10,000, the chance that at least one student returns to her own seat is about 2/3.
Coming to Terms
Antoni Zygmund once asked if the World Series shouldn't be called the World Sequence? And shouldn't a combination lock be called a permutation lock? John Von Neumann once had a dog called Inverse. It would sit when told to stand and go when it was told to come. Von Neumann pronounced the term infinite series as infinite serious.
— Michael Stueben, Twenty Years Before the Blackboard, 1998
Starting in the 1970s, neurobiologist Otto-Joachim Grüsser spent 10 years collating the light sources in 2,124 paintings selected at random from Western art originating between the 14th and 20th centuries. He found that in most paintings considered Western works of art, especially those painted around the time of the Scientific Revolution, the light falls from the left.
"At the beginning of modern Western art during the early Gothic period, a preference for diffuse illumination or light sources distributed around the painted scene was found," Grüsser noted. "In a minority of paintings from the fourteenth century that show a clear light direction, a bias to the left side is present. This left-sided preference increased at the expense of diffuse or middle light sources up to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and declined thereafter. In the twentieth century, the diffuse or middle type of light distribution again became dominant."
It's not clear what to make of this. It seems reasonable that a right-handed artist might favor light falling from the left, but why should this vary with time? Grüsser found that the left-handed Leonardo da Vinci applied light sources from varying angles, and Hans Holbein the Younger, also a dominant left-hander, favored light falling from the right.
"From such observations in the works of these two left-handed painters who painted, drew, and wrote with the left hand, one gains the impression that the distribution of left, middle, and right light direction in left-handed painters deviates significantly from the average distribution of light found in the paintings of other contemporary painters. It would be interesting to study the drawings and paintings of other confirmed left-handed artists, who worked exclusively with the left hand."

Hot and Cold
Suppose you have three identical Dewar flasks labeled A, B, and C. (A Thermos is a Dewar flask.) You also have an empty container labeled D, which has thermally perfect conducting walls and which fits inside a Dewar flask.
Pour 1 liter of 80°C water into flask A and 1 liter of 20°C water into flask B. Now, using all four containers, is it possible to use the hot water to heat the cold water so that the final temperature of the cold water is higher than the final temperature of the hot water? How? (You can't actually mix the hot water with the cold.)
A Dice Puzzle
Timothy and Urban are playing a game with two six-sided dice. The dice are unusual: Rather than bearing a number, each face is painted either red or blue.
The two take turns throwing the dice. Timothy wins if the two top faces are the same color, and Urban wins if they're different. Their chances of winning are equal.
The first die has 5 red faces and 1 blue face. What are the colors on the second die?
Discovered by R.V. Heath in 1950:
Think of two positive integers.
Add them to get a third number.
Add the second number and the third number to get a fourth number.
Continue in this way until you have 10 numbers.
The sum of the 10 numbers is 11 times the seventh number.
Return to Sender
Mathematician Yutaka Nishiyama of the Osaka University of Economics has designed a nifty paper boomerang that you can use indoors. A free PDF template (with instructions in 70 languages!) is here.
Hold it vertically, like a paper airplane, and throw it straight ahead at eye level, snapping your wrist as you release it. The greater the spin, the better the performance. It should travel 3-4 meters in a circle and return in 1-2 seconds. Catch it between your palms.
The Modern Prometheus
By 1958 many of the attributes of living things could be found in our technology: locomotion (cars), metabolism (steam engines), energy storage (batteries), perception of stimuli (iconoscopes), and nervous or cerebral activity (computers). The missing element was reproduction: We hadn't yet created a nonliving artifact that could make copies of itself.
So Brooklyn College chemistry professor Homer Jacobson built one. Using an HO gauge model railroad, he designed an "organism" made of boxcars that could use sensors to select other cars on the track and assemble them on a siding into models of itself. "Head" cars have "brains," and "tail" cars have "muscles" and "eyes"; together, a head and a tail make an organism in which the head directs the tail to watch for available cars elsewhere on the track and shunt them appropriately onto a siding to create a new organism.
"Any new 'organisms' formed continue the propagation in a linear fashion," Jacobson wrote, "until the environment runs out of parts, or there are no more sidings available, or a mistake is made somewhere in the operation of a cycle, i.e., a 'mutation.' Such an effect, like that with living beings, is usually fatal."
(Homer Jacobson, "On Models of Reproduction," American Scientist, September 1958.)
The Vacuum Airship
A conventional balloon rises because its airbag displaces a large volume of air. But the gas that fills the bag has some weight; it, along with the weight of the gondola, reduces the balloon's total lift.
Realizing this, Italian monk Francesco Lana de Terzi in 1670 proposed a "vacuum airship," a balloon whose airbag was filled with nothing at all. Since a vacuum weighs nothing, this should maximize the vehicle's lift — the vacuum could displace a large volume of air without itself adding any weight.
In principle this might work; the problem is that the vacuum would tend to collapse its container, and building a shell sturdy enough to withstand it would leave us with a ship too heavy to lift. It's not clear whether any material or structure could overcome this problem.
Stamps and Math
Lee Sallows tells me that the postal system of Macau is releasing a new series of stamps based on magic squares. The full set will touch on everything from the Roman SATOR square to Dürer's Melencolia. Details are here.
Charmingly, the values of the stamps will be 1, 2, …, 9 Macau patacas, so that the sheet of the nine stamps will itself form a classic Lo Shu magic square. Lee's contribution, above, is a Nasik 2D geomagic square of order 3 — not only are all the rows and columns magic, but so are all six diagonals, including the four "broken" diagonals.
Somewhat related: In 2000 Finland issued seven stamps in classic tangram shapes, featuring images of science and education. (One of the small triangles, barely visible here, is a Sierpinski gasket.) Only three of the seven shapes are denominated postage, but I should think the temptation is overwhelming to arrange all seven on an envelope in the shape of a little man or a fish or something. I wonder what the post office makes of that.
Stretch Goals
Two circles intersect. A line AC is drawn through one of the intersection points, B. AC can pivot around point B — what position will maximize its length?
Cancel That
Howard C. Saar of Albion, Mich., pointed out an innovative solution to this problem in Recreational Mathematics Magazine, April 1962:
log(3x + 2) + log(4x – 1) = 2log11
Divide each side of the equation by the word "log":
(3x + 2) + (4x – 1) = (2)(11)
7x = 21
x = 3
… which is correct.
Catch as Catch Can
Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, took an active interest in juggling. He used to juggle balls while riding a unicycle through the halls of Bell Laboratories, and he built the first juggling robot from an Erector set in the 1970s. (The machine above mimics W.C. Fields, who himself juggled in vaudeville before turning to comedy.)
Noting that juggling seems to appeal to mathematics-minded people, Shannon offered the following theorem:
F is flight time, the time the ball spends in the air
D is "dwell time," the time it spends in the hand
V is vacancy, the time a hand spends empty
B is the number of balls
H is the number of hands
"Theorem 1 allows one to calculate the range of possible periods (time between hand throws) for a given type of uniform juggle and a given time of flight," he wrote. "A juggler can change this period, while keeping the height of his throws fixed, by increasing dwell time (to increase the period) or reducing dwell time to reduce the period. The total mathematical range available for a given flight time can be obtained by setting D = 0 for minimum range and V = 0 for maximum range in Theorem 1. The ratio of these two extremes is independent of the flight time and dependent only on the number of balls and hands."
To measure dwell times, Shannon actually created a "jugglometer" in which a juggler wore copper mesh over his fingers and juggled foil-covered lacrosse balls; catching the ball closed a connection between the fingers and started a clock. "Preliminary results from testing a few jugglers indicate that, with ball juggling, vacant time is normally less than dwell time, V ranging in our measurements from fifty to seventy per cent of D."
Shannon noted that juggling gets dramatically harder as the number of balls increases. He worked out a foolproof solution, at least in theory. A light ray that starts at one focus of an ellipse will be reflected to the other focus. If the ellipse is rotated around its major axis, it will create an egglike shell with two foci. Now if a juggler stands with a hand at each focus, then a ball thrown from either hand, in any direction, will bounce off the shell and arrive at the other hand!
("Scientific Aspects of Juggling," in Claude Elwood Shannon: Collected Papers, 1993.)
Behind Schedule
In 1980 Philip K. Dick was asked to forecast some significant events in the coming years. Among his predictions:
1983: The Soviet Union will develop an operational particle-beam accelerator, making missile attack against that country impossible. At the same time the U.S.S.R. will deploy this weapon as a satellite killer. The U.S. will turn, then, to nerve gas.
1989: The U.S. and the Soviet Union will agree to set up one vast metacomputer as a central source for information available to the entire world; this will be essential due to the huge amount of information coming into existence.
1993: An artificial life form will be created in a lab, probably in the U.S.S.R., thus reducing our interest in locating life forms on other planets.
1997: The first closed-dome colonies will be successfully established on Luna and on Mars. Through DNA modification, quasi-mutant humans will be created who can survive under non-Terran conditions, i.e., alien environments.
1998: The Soviet Union will test a propulsion drive that moves a starship at the velocity of light; a pilot ship will set out for Proxima Centaurus, soon to be followed by an American ship.
2000: An alien virus, brought back by an interplanetary ship, will decimate the population of Earth, but leave the colonies on Luna and Mars intact.
2010: Using tachyons (particles that move backward in time) as a carrier, the Soviet Union will attempt to alter the past with scientific information.
Also: "Computer use by ordinary citizens (already available in 1980) will transform the public from passive viewers of TV into mentally alert, highly trained, information-processing experts."
(From David Wallechinsky, Amy Wallace, and Irving Wallace, The Book of Predictions, 1980.)
Of Thee I Sing
The editors of the Journal of Organic Chemistry received a novel submission in 1970 — Brown University chemists J.F. Bunnett and Francis Kearsley wrote their paper "Comparative Mobility of Halogens in Reactions of Dihalobenzenes With Potassium Amide in Ammonia" in blank verse:
Reactions of potassium amide
With halobenzenes in ammonia
Via benzyne intermediates occur.
Bergstrom and associates did report,
Based on two-component competition runs,
Bromobenzene the fastest to react,
By iodobenzene closely followed,
The chloro compound lagging far behind,
And flurobenzene to be quite inert
At reflux (-33°).
This goes on for three pages. The journal published it with a note: "Although we are open to new styles and formats for scientific publication, we must admit to surprise upon receiving this paper. However, we find the paper to be novel in its chemistry, and readable in its verse. Because of the somewhat increased space requirements and possible difficulty to some of our nonpoetically inclined readers, manuscripts in this format face an uncertain future in this office."
(Thanks, Bob.)
Genaille-Lucas Rulers
French civil engineer Henri Genaille introduced these "rulers" in 1891 as a way to perform simple multiplication problems directly, without mental calculation.
A set consists of 10 numbered rulers and an "index." To multiply 52749 by 4, arrange rulers 5, 2, 7, 4, and 9 side by side next to the index ruler. We're multiplying by 4, so go to the 4th row and start at the top of the rightmost column:
Now just follow the gray triangles from right to left:
The answer is 210996. "[Édouard] Lucas gave these rulers enough publicity that they became quite popular for a number of years," writes Michael R. Williams in William Aspray's Computing Before Computers. "Unfortunately he never lived to see their popularity grow, for he died, aged 49, shortly after Genaille's demonstration."

Ook! is a programming language designed to be understood by orangutans. According to the design specification, the language has only three syntax elements ("Ook." "Ook?" "Ook!"), and it "has no need of comments. The code itself serves perfectly well to describe in detail what it does and how it does it. Provided you are an orang-utan."
This example prints the phrase "Hello world":

Piece Work
Tangrams can demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem. The yellow figure in the diagram above is a right triangle; the seven pieces that make up the square on the hypotenuse can be rearranged to form squares on the other two sides.
The third-century mathematician Liu Hui used to explain the theorem by dissecting and rearranging squares. Proper tangrams did not appear until centuries later, but modern Chinese mathematician Liu Dun writes, "We can hypothesize that the inventor of the Tangram, if not a mathematician, was at least inspired or enlightened by" this practice.
(From Jerry Slocum, The Tangram Book, 2003.)
The Balmis Expedition
Smallpox ravaged the New World for centuries after the Spanish conquest. In 1797 Edward Jenner showed that exposure to the cowpox virus could protect one against the disease, but the problem remained how to transport cowpox across the sea. In 1802 Charles IV of Spain announced a bold plan — 22 orphaned children would be sent by ship; after the first child was inoculated, his skin would exude fluid that could be passed to the next child. By passing the live virus from arm to arm, the children formed a transmission chain that could transport the vaccine in an era before refrigeration and other modern technology was available.
It worked. Over the next 10 years Spain spread the vaccine throughout the New World and to the Philippines, Macao, and China. Oklahoma State University historian Michael M. Smith writes, "These twenty-two innocents formed the most vital element of the most ambitious medical enterprise any government had ever undertaken." Jenner himself wrote, "I don't imagine the annals of history furnish an example of philanthropy so noble, so extensive as this."
A charming little scene from mathematical history — in 1615 Gresham College geometry professor Henry Briggs rode the 300 miles from London to Edinburgh to meet John Napier, the discoverer of logarithms. A contemporary witnessed their meeting:
He brings Mr. Briggs up into My Lord's chamber, where almost one quarter of an hour was spent, each beholding the other with admiration, before one word was spoke: at last Mr. Briggs began. 'My Lord, I have undertaken this long journey purposely to see your person, and to know by what engine of wit or ingenuity you came first to think of this most excellent help unto Astronomy, viz. the Logarithms: but my Lord, being by you found out, I wonder nobody else found it before, when now being known it appears so easy.'
Their friendship was fast but short-lived: The first tables were published in 1614, and Napier died in 1617, perhaps due to overwork. In his last writings he notes that "owing to our bodily weakness we leave the actual computation of the new canon to others skilled in this kind of work, more particularly to that very learned scholar, my dear friend, Henry Briggs, public Professor of Geometry in London."
A Magic Jigsaw
A "self-interlocking" geomagic square by Lee Sallows. The 16 lettered pieces pave a single large square, and smaller squares can be produced by various groups of four pieces — those drawn from each row, column, and long diagonal, and 10 other symmetrically chosen quartets.
"A Rough Justice"
British inventor Sir Robert Watson-Watt pioneered the development of radar, a contribution that helped the Royal Air Force win the Battle of Britain. Ironically, after the war he was pulled over for speeding by a Canadian policeman wielding a radar gun. His wife tried to point out the absurdity of the situation, but the officer wasn't interested, and the couple drove away with a $12.50 fine. Watson-Watt wrote this poem:
Pity Sir Robert Watson-Watt,
strange target of this radar plot
And thus, with others I can mention,
the victim of his own invention.
His magical all-seeing eye
enabled cloud-bound planes to fly
but now by some ironic twist
it spots the speeding motorist
and bites, no doubt with legal wit,
the hand that once created it.
Oh Frankenstein who lost control
of monsters man created whole,
with fondest sympathy regard
one more hoist with his petard.
As for you courageous boffins
who may be nailing up your coffins,
particularly those whose mission
deals in the realm of nuclear fission,
pause and contemplate fate's counter plot
and learn with us what's Watson-Watt.
(Thanks, Chris.)

need Chinese New Year dinner rec Hudson Valley
not sure that you'll find such a place serving Chinese food on the east side of the Hudson north of Poughkeepsie (or even in Poughkeepsie) unless something new has come on the scene since July 2012 . . . . . . . In fact, not sure that you will find "great" Chinese food anywhere in Dutchess County . . . . the Thai scene might be OK, though . . . ,

On Friday, we'll be driving from central New York State to the Dayton, OH area and will be passing nearby Erie (I-90 to I-271) around lunch time. We are looking for non-chain suggestions not too far off the interstate in that area. nothing fancy - just good solid chow served relatively quickly. Thanks

Biscuits and Gravy: SFBA Dish of the Month July 2014
My son had B&G at Calafia Cafe in Palo Alto yesterday (Aug. 23) at lunch. The biscuits somehow were both light and substantial enough to stand up to the mushroom gravy (no sausage), even after sitting there for 15 minutes while he tucked into chicken and waffles. The texture of the biscuits where they were not covered by gravy led me to suggest that they may have been lightly griddled just prior to having the gravy poured over them. The gravy was relatively thin as compared to most B&G we have had in the past, and while it was less salty than most renditions we've tasted all over the country (my wife is a South Carolinian), it still taste a bit too saline to me. If we return, we will ask for the gravy on the side.

Dim Sum Club (Russian Hill, San Francisco)
We had stuffed eggplant this morning at Lai Hong Lounge. Each of the 4 eggplant pieces were as large as I have ever seen, but were stuffed with a disproportionately small amount of filling. The sparse filling was ground something - we could not determine if it was fish or shrimp. Three of the four eggplant pieces were cooked perfectly, being neither too soft nor underdone, with a good amount of sweetness. The fourth piece was underdone a bit but the flavor was sufficiently good that I ate it anyway. The sauce was not traditional black bean and in fact was quite gummy. . . . Overall, this dish has gone downhill since my last LHL visit about a year ago.
On the other hand, LHL still makes the. best. siu. mai. ever.

late dinner between Albany airport and Coxsackie
You won't find much of anything open once you collect your luggage and get on the road, besides the chains (the usual suspects plus a few others) on Wolf Road near the Albany airport. Perhaps the Blu Stone Bistro in the Hotel Indigo on Albany Shaker Road stays open that late.

Trip down Memory Lane: Nom Wah Tea Parlor
Fortune wheel is in Levittown on Hempstead Turnpike just west of Wantagh Avenue.
Aug 05, 2014Mike in Rhinebeck in Manhattan
Trip down Memory Lane: Nom Wah Tea Parlor
My parents were introduced to dim sum in the very early 1960s by a friend who had discovered Nom Wah's, Chinatown's oldest dim sum restaurant (dating from 1920) on narrow Doyers Street. By the mid 1960s, they would make 4-5 pilgrimages per year to Nom Wah from the suburbs, with my 4 brothers and I in tow, to gorge on steamed dumplings, fried delicacies, and almond cookies. By about 1975, however, we shifted our dim sum loyalties, first to the Silver Palace, which could better accommodate our large group and which offered a greater variety of dim sum, then to Flushing, and eventually, after several hit-or-miss (mostly miss) places in Nassau and Suffolk, to Fortune Wheel in Levittown, which also was closer and offered more convenient parking for our Lido Beach-based parents. All this time, however, Nom Wah never left our thoughts, and over the past 40 years, on the very few occasions when I found myself in lower Manhattan, I would find an excuse to walk down Doyers to refresh my memory -without going in (as I was almost always alone and I prefer to have dim sum with a crowd.
Having heard about Nom Wah's temporary closure and it recent resurrection under ownership of the nephew of the previous owner, I was eager to revisit it for a meal, and the opportunity finally came yesterday, August 3. My mother, 26 year old daughter, one brother, and I drove into Manhattan, once again negotiating the narrow streets of Chinatown in car and on foot, to re-kindle our relationship with Nom Wah Tea Parlor.
As might be expected, we found a tea parlor that in some ways was the same (modest appointments, limited number of menu items, cramped rest rooms, and the classic facade outside) and others different (booths instead of tables, much better lighting, a younger staff that is more fluent in English, and - most significantly - ordering off a menu instead of choosing from among dishes piled on carts). We ordered quite a few different dishes - many of them the standards we order at any dim sum place: har gow; pork siu mai; char siu bao (steamed roast pork buns); stuffed eggplant; steamed rice rolls with shrimp and with beef; chicken feet; chive and shrimp dumplings; sesame coated lotus balls; turnip cake; taro dumplings; and steamed spare ribs in black bean sauce. We compared these to the analogous dishes at Fortune Wheel, where we have had our most recent experiences.
First conclusion: ordering from a menu means that the dishes are hotter when you get them; my single biggest criticism of Fortune Wheel is getting lukewarm food. Second: none of these dishes surpassed in taste their analogues at Fortune Wheel; in fact most (all except the gar gow, chicken feet, and char siu bao) were inferior to Fortune Wheel in that the flavors were more muted (blander), though still somewhat tasty. Third: we really enjoyed two dishes that we cannot get at Fortune Wheel: the fried crab claw (minced shrimp wrapped around a crab claw (like a lollipop) with the claw shell as a stick) and the "original egg roll" - chicken and mixed vegetables wrapped in an egg crepe and deep fried. And finally, the almond cookies we so enjoyed as kids had morphed into a still tasty, but different textured cookie.
As we sat there, we wondered how reliable our memories are of how these items tasted 40-50 years ago, and the effect on those memories of all the other dim sum we have eaten through the years in places as different as Flushing, Washington, DC, Albany NY, San Francisco, Kansas City, MO, Toronto, and other NYC Chinatown restaurants. Of course, the cooks and recipes also have changed over the years, so who is to say that the dishes we recall from the olden days did NOT taste as good as we recall?
So, will we go back to Nom Wah Tea Parlor? My mother thinks she won't, as she disliked the schlep into Manhattan and knows the Fortune Wheel staff quite well. I might, but I also see so many enticing dim sum places within just a few hundred feet of Nom Wah that are beckoning. If I can get my other three brothers to agree to stroll down memory lane with he again, however, I will give it another try!

Here is my report on Annapolis dining. Got to town mid-afternoon Sunday and, after checking into the hotel, met my daughter who drove over from the DC area where she lives. We both wanted crabs, so we did dinner at Cantler's, which is across the Severn River from the main peninsula on which Annapolis sits, down a narrow, winding residential road that leads to a creek side complex of buildings that constitute the restaurant. While it was crowded and noisy, we were immediately seated (without having had a reservation) outside under a canopy at one of many long, communal-style wooden tables. We couldn't help noticing the piles of bright red (from Old Bay seasoning) crabs on plain brown paper in front of most diners, as well as the distinct sound of small wooden hammers crashing down on crustacean bodies. We ordered a dozen large crabs ($55), side salads, a basket of hush puppies, and beers. Neither the salad nor hush puppies (small, overly sweet, and without much textural heterogeneity) were noteworthy. The crabs, however, were quite tasty, despite the work it took to extract meat from the shell. This was my first experience with steamed crabs, and while I could fairly easily break open the large claws to get a hunk of flesh, it was much more gratifying to slowly pull out the tender, sweet meat from the carapace. As a novice, it took me nearly 90 minutes (and two beers) to work my way through my 6 crabs. I would recommend Cantler's to anyone who seeks the "real" (as opposed to tourist-fied) crab experience.
The next morning, I had a late breakfast at Miss Shirley's Diner on West Street. This is a relatively upscale "diner" with an interesting, Southern-influenced menu of breakfast and lunch items, as well as a full bar. I debated among three different choices and settled on a breakfast sandwich of fried green tomatoes, smashed avocado, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg on thick slices of pumpernickel, with a side of stone ground grits. The sandwich was delectable, the crunch of the bacon balancing the tangy tomatoes and creamy avocado. The grits were not as distinctively "stone ground" as those I am used to (e.g., from the Hominy Grill and other restaurants in Charleston, SC). Nevertheless this was a satisfying meal that stayed with me through dinner that night.
Most of my remaining meals (2 dinners, 4 breakfasts and 4 lunches) were at Loew's Hotel, where the restaurant West is located, and where 20 of us were staying and attending a workshop). The dinners (lump crab cakes on fried green tomato one night, and a perfectly medium rare beef tenderloin the other) were outstanding, the lunch buffets were sumptuous in quality and quantity, and the breakfasts so-so (due to the merely ordinary quality of the croissants, muffins, and Danish). Dinner at The Metropolitan (rockfish, a delicious vegetable medley, and jasmine rice) was very good, as was my meal at Pusser's, in the Annapolis Marriott on the waterfront. My entree was Halibut Annapolitan, a generous piece of perfectly cooked halibut topped with just the right amount of lump crabmeat and a bechamel (?) sauce. Interesting ambience - we sat outside right along the water but adjacent to a relatively rowdy bar full of 20-somethings. Descriptions of this place that you can read on Yelp reviews are spot on regarding the noise level, but all 8 of us 50- and 60-somethings really enjoyed our meals!
I would have liked to have tried Vin 909, but with 8-10 of us wanting to find together, we chose to walk at her than split up to drive. I will just have to put it on the itinerary for my next Annapolis visit.

Upstate NY hound will be in Annapolis for a workshop which leaves us free each of 5 nights for dinner. What are some "should not miss" chow-worthy spots? Will have a car; while cost is not an issue, would also like to sample some down-to-earth, local joints as well.

Please Critique My San Francisco Itinerary
Both Dottie's and Brenda's are superb choices for breakfast, but Dottie's offers a more varied menu than Brenda's, so if it were me, I would go to Dottie's twice (not necessarily on consecutive mornings) and Brenda's once (be careful -the beignets are so good they are addictive). Also, you may encounter a wait in line at both spots so you may need to budget a bit more time than you have indicated in your schedule.

Breakfast more or less near the Ferry Building [San Francisco]
Dottie's True Blue Cafe, near the corner of 6th and Market, will have a large-ish (and high quality breakfast) and endless coffee in an interesting environment. At 1.5 miles from the Ferry Bldg., Dotties may be just at ( or outside) the 15-20 minute walk preferred by the OP . . . Who perhaps could opt for a cab?

Wow - what a nice long list (and so quickly) for us to start with! I had heard about Tacolicious and Pizzeria Delfina when we were in SF last summer, and was aware if these branches on the peninsula. I thank you all for these suggestions, and certainly will report back after our trip, which I am sure will be just the first of several visits per year over the next few years.
May 06, 2014Mike in Rhinebeck in San Francisco Bay Area
We will be bringing my daughter to start at Stanford Law School at end of August, and will stay 4 nights near Palo Alto. Would like to sample a range of cuisines (Mexican; Thai, Pizza, great burgers/sandwiches; seafood; Italian) as long as the food is GOOD with cost not really a barrier (although we prefer NOT to have to get too dressy). I am starting this search early so I can check out restaurant web sites ahead of time and get reservations if need be. For reference sake, last summer we loved our meals at Isa in SF; Passion Fish in Pacific Grove; The Crown & Anchor in Monterey; and breakfasts at Dottie's and at Brenda's Soul Food in SF. Thanks!

What are some "shouldn't miss" dishes at Proof?
Report on Proof
Thanks to all who responded with recommendations. Dinner at Proof turned out to be sublime. While everything -including cocktails, wines, and desserts - we ate was excellent, we agreed that the most outstanding dishes were the tuna tartare, the potato gnocchi (with autumn squash, sage brown butter, and Brussels sprouts, among other items, and the lamb chops with farro. While we have enjoyed dining at other DC favorites (e.g., Brasserie Beck; Oyamel; Central Michel Richard) and have yet to sample other restaurants which frequently are discussed by 'hounds, I see a return trip to Proof in the very near future.

Hotels and restaurants to visit in Paris, France
We visited Paris in April 2009. For a truly non-touristy lunch, we very much enjoyed Chez Janou (chezjanou.com) on two occasions; not terribly expensive and (at the time) reservations not necessary. It is in the 3rd Arr. and a short walk from Place de Vosges.
we also did a lunch at Chez L'Ami Jean (http://www.lamijean.fr/3en.aspx) in the 7th Arr. (about halfway between the Eiffel Tower and the Musee d'Orsay); the three course lunch was expensive (now about $42 Euros) and required advanced reservations (about 2 months ahead of time). We will never forget the old-fashioned rice pudding dessert with salted butter caramel.
we also rented a studio apartment where we ate most breakfasts and one dinner; hard to recall most of the other restaurants as they were not unique . . .

OK - here they are; sorry for the delay and the length:
Saturday night dinner at Hank's Seafood:
Sunday night dinner at Monza Pizza on King Street:
For dessert, we stopped on the walk back to the hotel at Paolo's Gelato Shop on John Street; while we enjoyed all 4 flavors we tried, the pistachio was outstanding!
Monday night at Fat Hen on John's Island
Tuesday night (Xmas Eve) dinner at Slightly North of Broad (S.N.O.B.)
All three of us felt that the overall experience (food, ambience, service) was clearly the best at SNOB, where we would go back in a heartbeat. While we enjoyed the dinners at Hank's, Monza, and Fat Hen, we would first like to try other Charleston restaurants for dinner before returning.

Four Breakfasts in/Around Charleston (long)
My wife, 22-year old son, and I just returned home from a trip to South Carolina, during which we spent 4 nights/3 days in Charleston. Here is a report on the 4 breakfasts we enjoyed.
Sunday brunch at the Lost Dog Cafe in Folly Beach: Sunday, Dec. 22 was a warm and sunny day (temps eventually hit about 80 in downtown Charleston) and we drove the 15-20 minutes out to Folly Beach for brunch. Arriving shortly after 10 AM, we were surprised to have no wait to get an indoor table; the outdoor seating areas looked inviting and were full of dog-lovers with their pooches as well as a bevy of smokers. We each ordered specialty coffee drinks and started off by sharing an "awesome Cinnamon Roll" which was good but not awesome. Son had biscuits and sausage gravy (in fact, he had this as breakfast all 4 days in a row) and a side of grits, wife had a HUGE breakfast burrito (meat, eggs, beans, tomatoes, cheese, etc.) which was accompanied by grits, and I had Eggs Benedict modified with a fried green tomato between the egg and Canadian bacon. We were served very quickly despite the crowd, portions were huge, and the food quite tasty (except that he fried green tomatoes were quite acidic - more so than those I ate elsewhere in Charleston). Service was a bit rushed, as might be expected given how busy they were. Walls were decorated with many photos of dogs.
Monday breakfast at Hominy Grill: set in a residential neighborhood in an old barbershop, we again had no wait to get a table inside, whereas those seeking to sit outside on the patio had to wait. Extremely nice and personable service from our waitress, who took time to explain not only the breakfast options but also items (T shirts, coffee cups, etc.) that were available for sale. Son had B&G again, wife had sausage, eggs, grits, and toast, and I had a Hangtown Fry (eggs scrambled with oysters and bacon) with grits. As opposed to the relatively creamy grits at the Lost Dog, these were stone ground grits with a distinctive "crunch" that we all very much enjoyed. We finished up by sharing a piece of sublime buttermilk pie, which we enjoyed in a relatively leisurely way in the relaxing ambience of the restaurant.
Tuesday breakfast at the Dixie Supply Bakery and Cafe: a very small storefront about two blocks from the historic Charleston Market, patrons line up, place an order at the counter (which strongly prefers cash), and then find a table either inside the crowded room or at patio furniture just outside. The long line appeared to include both tourists and locals, Not too many fancy dishes on this menu; son again had biscuits and sausage gravy, while wife and I each had scrambled eggs, grits, and biscuits. Apparently, this place is famous for tomato pie, but it was not listed on the menu posted on the wall above the counter, otherwise I would have ordered it. Grits were like those at Hominy Grill, biscuits were better than Hominy Grill!
Christmas morning breakfast at Toast: this restaurant is attached to the Days Inn on Meeting Street about a block or so from the Historic Market, and was one of the very few places open on Xmas Day. No wait at all upon our arrival at 8:45. Son had his usual B&G, wife ate scrambled eggs, meat, and grits, while I had shrimp and grits covered by a "lobster" sauce with very small pieces of pork sausage. Grits were very creamy and a bit runny but otherwise this was a good dish. Fairly simple interior of the restaurant. All the staff, however, were attired in "Santa gear" and were amazingly cheerful and inviting given that they were working on Christmas morning!
We enjoyed all 4 breakfasts and would return to all 4 places. Son felt that the biscuits and gravy were best at Lost Dog Cafe, and my wife enjoyed her breakfast at Lost Dog the most (she might not want to return to Dixie Supply because of the tight quarters and lack of wait staff).. My favorite was Hominy Grill for the combination of food and ambience, with Lost Dog a close second.

Last minute trip to Bay Area and have no idea where to eat.
My family of 4 New Yorkers recently returned from Bay Area visit, and offer the following suggestions. The food quality of our dim sum meal at Lai Hong Lounge in SF Chinatown far surpassed our most recent Manhattan, Flushing, and other NY dim sum experiences, despite the oddity (for us) of ordering off the menu as opposed to choosing from a cart. And the cost ($52) for a very large brunch for 4 also beat NY prices!
For the Monterey peninsula, we second the Passionfish recommendation, and also suggest the Crown and Anchor in downtown Monterey if you like a fairly authentic English pub atmosphere and food. In addition to about 2 dozen different British beers, they offer tasty food (my pan-fried sand dabs were great) and wonderful sticky toffe pudding for dessert. If you go a little way off the beaten path, Cafe Rustica in Carmel Valley is a delightful spot for lunch (sit outside on the beautiful shaded deck if possible); my thin crust mushroom pizza was outstanding, as were the salad and sandwiches my family had.

As of Tuesday, May 15, 2012

ROSWELL -- Centennial showed Tuesday night why it is the top-ranked team in Class AAAAA boys soccer as the Knights rolled to an impressive 5-1 win over No.4 Parkview in the semifinals of the state playoffs at The Fortress.
Centennial, seeking its first state title, will move on to the championship match on Friday when it plays at Collins Hill. Centennial (20-1-1) also won for the 13th straight time after a 2-2 tie with Habersham Central on March 20. The Knights haven't lost since a 1-0 decision to Lassiter on March 3.
For Centennial, it was a matter of executing across the board as the Knights were solid on set plays offensively and steady on defense when needed.
"We go over concepts," said Centennial head coach Phil Thomas, a 1996 Parkview graduate. "But what these kids need to learn is to create opportunities in front of the goal. So we go over that and work on set pieces. There are some rules and ideas that we work on, but then I sort of let them do their thing. We definitely want to challenge other teams and I was a (goal) keeper when I played, so I see things a little differently than maybe others."
Parkview, seeking its first state title since 2005, watched its season come to a close at 16-4-2.
The Panthers had won 15 of their last 16, the lone defeat during that stretch coming on April 20 at Brookwood by a 1-0 score.
"(Centennial) is a team that we've known all along and no team has really stopped them, especially in the playoffs," said Parkview head coach Michael Tolmich. "We worked hard in practice, but they beat us on the set pieces -- the throw-ins and corner kicks.
"We didn't follow through with what we worked on. We gave up too many goals early to be effective and give ourselves a chance. Then we started pushing and doing things that hurt us."
Centennial wasted no time taking a lead it would never relinquish.
Fischer Olliff scored from close range after Cameron Bean set him up with a terrific pass on a header to make it 1-0 Knights with 34:46 to go in the first half.
Centennial came right back and scored at 29:48 when Kane Davis headed in a goal to increase the lead to 2-0. Davis' goal came on another impressive header pass from Connor Davis.
Centennial completed the three-goal rush in the first half with a goal from Bean on a header at 20:33.
Bean's goal came on a throw-in from Ryan Spence, who repeatedly set up Centennial players on scoring chances with long and accurate tosses from the sideline.
Centennial continued the scoring frenzy in the second half when a pair of North Georgia signees paired up to give the Knights a 4-0 lead.
Amin El-Shami fed Connor Davis from the right corner and Davis connected on a header to give the Knights a 4-0 lead with 31:25 remaining.
Parkview finally got on the scoreboard when Jonathon Jarrett connected on a penalty kick at 28:22 following a foul by Centennial.
Centennial put the finishing touches on its five-goal outburst when Sebastian Guzman picked up a loose ball in front of the Parkview net and scored to make it 5-1 with 8:50 left.
Centennial has now scored 81 goals on the season against just 15 allowed.
For Parkview, it was a season that produced a great run all the way to the state semifinals, but ends one win shy of playing for a title.
"I'm still proud of the boys for the season we had," said Tolmich. "It's hard to realize that now, because our guys want to be playing on Friday night, too. But Centennial's a good team and they deserve to be there."

Opening and Closing Tabs
To browse with tabs, you must first let Mozilla know that this is what you'd like to do.
Don't panic if you don't see the tab bar when you first open Mozilla. By default, the tab bar doesn't appear at all until you open your first tab. Here's how:
Opening a New Tab from the File Menu
This will open your tab bar for the first time, as well as a new blank page in your browser window.
Notice that Mozilla has instantly set aside two new tabs: one for the page you started from, and one Untitled tab. This is your cue to direct your browser to a new page of your choice. Just enter a web address in the top Location Bar.
Now your new tab marks the spot--and re-labels itself.
Opening a New Tab with the Tab Bar
Once you've opened your Tab Bar, you can open new tabs by directing your mouse to the Tab Icon at the far left side of the Tab Bar. Every click loads a new Untitled tab:
Now you can open as many separate tabs as you like. Click around and get used to a more freeform, non-linear form of browsing.
Closing Tabs
As your search progresses, you'll change your mind about which tabs you still want open, and which sites you're done with.
There are several quick ways to close your tabs:

Style: Muay Thai, Judo, BJJ--Originally Posted by pl4zM4
Gikan Ryu is similar to Koto but when cross-stepping instead of being toally laterial it is slightly forward. Gyokushin is 45% forward.
During the Koppojutsu theme (2002 I think) Hatsumi Sensei covered some Gikan and Gyokushin Ryu stuff.
Kumogakure ryu is designed for women and as traditionally they wore tight fitting kimono there is a lot of hopping forward and backward to generate power, from the one class I have done in it.
i as a bujinkan guy do mostly Takagi Yoshin Ryu, Shinden Fudo, And Koto Ryu which is Nagato Sensei's speciality.

Don't know if you saw it Oni but there was a big thread recently about bujinkan historical legitmacy, and the issue has been discussed in the past. The result of these is that bujinkan linege claims, especially ninjutsu are suspect and are yet to be validated. So while bujinkan does certianly have the most convincing ninja setup so far, it seems that any sods out there looking for ninjutsu have a choice between fake and probably fake. Just letting you know that we don't automaticly assume Hatsumi has the t3h r3al ninj3r. Just thought I'd brief you on that as you're new.

Fishin Like A ProRead MoreFishing can be a relaxing way to spend an afternoon—even if you never catch anything—but it can be positively thrilling if you approach it armed with the gear and techniques of a pro angler. Especially from a specially designed fishing kayak. Aaron Kerchner, the titular pro of Fishin Like a Pro, has been fishing competitively for the past five years. Before founding his current endeavor, he spent a decade and a half tracking down bass for fun—and for revenge against the one that spit water at him one time as it swam away. On trips to local reservoirs where walleye, wiper, and bass swim, he inducts amateurs into his secrets, which may include selecting the right bait for extra-large specimens or working with weather conditions. For total newbies, he also leads fishing lessons from the shoreline.LittletonLittleton, CO US
5280 AnglerRead MoreHaving plumbed the waters of New York, Michigan, Minnesota, and Colorado during their respective childhoods, the guides of 5280 Angler know that fly-fishing is a sport of personal preferences. They practice catch-and-release, and they don't schedule cookie-cutter trips?instead, they consult with their clients to gauge their skills, ambitions, and ability to hold something slimy without making a face. They then organize fly-fishing excursions that would best challenge and entertain their charges, scouting through public waters for choice wading locales such as South Platte River Valley, which accommodates fishers of all experience levels with prime casting spots. Full-day trips also include an onsite lunch, often prepared picnic-style along burbling banks and scenic mountains.UnknownCastle Rock, CO US

Supplied with rods, reels, and waders, piscatores and guide will leisurely wander the watercourse among the tranquil and remote small town surroundings of Deckers, fighting the mellow rapids for its rainbow trout and many hidden secrets, such as how many jellybeans are in the jar.34375 U.S. 285Pine, CO US
The Denver Fly ShopRead MoreAt The Denver Fly Shop, masters of fly-fishing's elusive art lead classroom instruction, field sessions, and guided trips with a proficient grasp on the sport's intricate ins and outs. Through classroom sessions, the crew teaches students how to tie essential knots and how to mimic the movement of insects. They also offer in-depth knowledge on locations where fish have been known to hangout and mingle with delinquent trout-school dropouts. Their casting lessons familiarize anglers with their gear during two-hour sessions that take place indoors during winter months and on the banks of Smith Lake in Washington Park when spring sets in. Once their intro lessons are complete, students can put their newfound proficiencies to the test during guided fishing trips to some of Colorado's most abundant waterways. There is also a comprehensive fly-fishing shop with over 3000 different fly patterns to complement fly fishers' ventures beyond their intro lessons. Guided tours are also offered to explore the area.1699 S Colorado BlvdDenver, CO US

In addition to guided trips, the staff also leads classes for all experience levels, including courses designed for women and families, on the South Platte River.4161 Benton StreetDenver, CO US
Minturn AnglersRead MoreHead guide Erin Hale has been fly fishing since he was 14-years old.

Together, he and a team of professional guides lead all-inclusive guided float and wade trips, teaching their clients how to catch more fish along the way. They also lead fly-tying classes and fly-fishing schools, and welcome all students and clients to return and use their store and website as a resource for learning and staying current on new techniques.11020 S Pikes Peak Dr.Parker, CO US

This video highlights many fabric of life examples using ArcelorMittal steel.
ArcelorMittal rebars reinforce Poland's new landmark bridge
Ferrari builds state-of-the-art Formula 1 centre with ArcelorMittal Steel
ArcelorMittal publishes 2014 annual review and fact book
ArcelorMittal releases 2014 sustainability report
An iconic new bridge being constructed across the river Wislok in Rzeszow, Poland, features 900 tonnes of rebars produced at ArcelorMittal Warszawa.
Standing at 108.5m-tall, 400m-long and 29m-wide, the €44m bridge – which will be Poland's second-highest – is being built with ArcelorMittal rebars to reinforce the structure's concrete components.
Produced at ArcelorMittal Europe's long products facility in Warsaw, the steel was tailored to German customer Bilfinger Infrastructure's specific requirements at ArcelorMittal's distribution solution facilities for cutting and bending in Katowice, Poland.
Rebars were supplied in B 500 SP steel grade in diameters ranging from 10 to 32mm. Formed from mild steel, with ribs for frictional adhesion to the concrete, the ArcelorMittal rebars are EPSTAL-certified, meeting all the specifications required for a construction project of this nature.
The bridge is set to offer many advantages to Rzeszow citizens, including improved access to Jasionka airport, an extension of existing cycle lanes, and improved traffic flow through the city centre.
"We're delighted to once again see ArcelorMittal steel used in a project to help modernise infrastructure in Poland", said Marek Kempa, CEO of ArcelorMittal Warszawa: "Our steel at Warszawa has been used for several key infrastructure investments including the new Warsaw underground stations and the Lodz railway station, which will be completed by the end of the year".
Construction of the bridge began last summer and is expected to be completed in September.

Ferrari is set to complete its new headquarters this month – a next-generation office, which will feature 1,200 tonnes of ArcelorMittal steel.
Scuderia Ferrari – the motorsport division of the famous Italian sports car manufacturer – is constructing a new home for its F1 management, engineering and administrative departments in Maranello, Italy, with the aid of 1,000 tonnes of heavy "H" profiles supplied by ArcelorMittal Europe—Long Products, and an additional 200 tonnes of cellular beams from ArcelorMittal's production and finishing operations in Luxembourg.
The new corporate headquarters will span 21,000 square meters and will feature two floors of F1 workshops and laboratories, while a third level will house technical staff, a showroom and other offices.
The 200 tonnes of ACB® cellular beams were supplied by ArcelorMittal's beam finishing subsidiary, Eurostructures, and were produced at ArcelorMittal Differdange, Luxembourg, using a patented method from ArcelorMittal's research and development team.
The patented process uses hot-rolled sections and specialised software to produce light and cost-effective beams, which offer lean, robust and safe structures.
The 1,000 tonnes of ArcelorMittal "H" profiles were supplied to customer Gruppo Manni.
Speaking of the partnership, Mauro Sommavilla, a structural engineer at ArcelorMittal, said: "We are proud to have contributed to this exceptional project. We have been working with Gruppo Manni since 2000.
"They are very satisfied with our heavy-range products and with the technical consulting we provided during the entire delivery phase".

$79 billion direct economic contribution made in 2014
ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel and mining company, today publishes its 2014 sustainability report, 'Steel: the sustainability challenge'. The report launches the company's 10 new sustainable development outcomes which outlines what the company needs to achieve in order for its steel to be recognised as one of the world's most sustainable materials. It also details the company's sustainability highlights, including how ArcelorMittal made an economic contribution to society of $79 billion in 2014.
Chairman and CEO, Lakshmi Mittal, commented: "While we have made good progress on the sustainability agenda over the eight years since the creation of ArcelorMittal, that agenda continues to evolve. We must respond to evolving social and environmental trends, and must do it while also facing lower iron ore prices and increased competition from imported steel. To address this, we have developed a new approach, based on 10 sustainable development outcomes.
"While this format is new, we are not starting from scratch. Some of these ambitions – like health and safety – are well established. Others are more ambitious and will not be achieved overnight.
"We are confident that our 10 sustainable development outcomes provide the right framework to address our material issues and improve performance across the group."
The 10 sustainable development outcomes, announced in the report, which sit at the core of ArcelorMittal's sustainable development framework are:
