Tactile Sensations Affect Perception, Not Reality
By Rita Woods, LMT
Did you know that holding a warm cup of coffee can foster a sense of trust in another person? Touching is an important part of interacting with our environment and people. Research suggests that touch, including temperature sensations can subconsciously affect our impressions of others, the decisions we make and even our behavior.
New scientific evidence now suggests that what we think and perceive can result from associating concepts we garnered from touch experiences. A recent study,1 supported by the National Institutes of Health, set out to discover whether or not tactile impressions affect what we think and believe. Researchers, Dr. John Bargh (Yale), Dr. Joshua Ackerman (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Christopher Nocera (Harvard), designed a series of experiments to test whether the characteristics of an object can affect our judgment about unrelated things.
Weight, texture and hardness are often used as metaphors. Weight is associated with concepts of seriousness and importance (e.g. a "weighty matter" or "light reading"). And roughness and smoothness are associated with difficulty and harshness (e.g. a "rough day" or "smooth sailing"). Hardness and softness are associated with stability, rigidity and strictness (e.g. "hard-hearted" or "soft on someone"). To test these sensible concepts, the researchers conducted four experiments:
What they found suggests that information acquired through touch creates imperceivable influence over what we think and believe. "Our minds are deeply and organically linked to our bodies," said Bargh. They also found that these tactile experiences can create beliefs that may differ from reality.
The multi-sensory interactions we experience are a natural process that takes place in certain regions of the brain. We unknowingly use several of our senses to discern and learn. For instance, when someone shows you an object that you are not familiar with, you instinctively reach out your hand to grasp it and say, "Can I see that?" This response suggests that investigation involves more than vision, it is rather the sum of seeing, touching, feeling and even manipulating the unfamiliar object.
The Concept of Warmth
New evidence shows that one region of our brain is involved in both our physical and psychological ideas of warmth; warmth, in terms of personality traits, translates to "trust" and "generosity". In a study2 also supported by the National Institutes of Health, researchers looked at the concept of warmth.
The researchers placed each of the 41 participants in a building lobby. The participant was then met by a woman carrying a cup of coffee, a clipboard and two textbooks. During the elevator ride up, the woman casually asked the participants to hold her cup of coffee while she recorded information on her clipboard. Half of the participants were given a cup of hot coffee and the other half iced coffee.
Once they reached their meeting room, the participants were given a questionnaire about someone who was described as intelligent, skillful, industrious, determined, practical and cautious. They were then asked to rate the person on personality traits related to warm/cold ideas. Those participants holding a warm cup of coffee in their elevator ride perceived the person as "more loving, friendly and having positive characteristics". Those asked to hold the iced coffee were more likely to perceive the same person as "less generous, less sociable and less caring".
So holding something warm did affect the impressions about an individual, but the researchers now wondered if it could affect their behavior as well. So they devised the following experiment:
They asked another group of volunteers to briefly hold either a hot or cold therapeutic pad, telling them it was for a product evaluation. After the participants rated the effectiveness of the pad, they were given a choice of reward for participating. They could choose either a Snapple beverage or an ice cream certificate for themselves or for a friend. Regardless of whether the gift was a Snapple or an ice cream certificate, the participants who held the cold pad were more likely to choose the gift for themselves. Those who held the warm pad, in contrast, were more likely to choose the gift for a friend.
It's interesting to note that holding a cup of hot coffee not only affected the participants' judgement but also made the same participants more likely to buy a gift for someone than if they held iced coffee!
Making Our Impression
As massage therapists, our livelihood comes from touching others. These experiments demonstrate the importance of the quality of our touch. This affects not only the quality of care but the impressions we give our clients about ourselves. By the way, another experiment using poor personal hygiene equates to the belief that the person with poor hygiene habits was lacking in moral integrity.
If you want to be successful in life, it would be wise to consider the unconscious brain. First impressions are likely to be influenced by the tactile environment. In other words, keep your environment, office and home filled with soft chairs that are tranquil in nature. Maintain a comfortable room temperature. Keep warm things and drinks available, especially in the winter. Involve a heavy item when you want someone to take it seriously. And maintain impeccable personal hygiene. This will help them view you as warm, trustworthy, qualified and of high moral character. All of which are important to a successful business.

Be Strong Lariat
Roll over image to zoom in
A great reminder for all women, our Be Strong Lariat was designed exclusively for Global Girlfriend by Denver jewelry designer Amy Kahn. Amy hand-forges the silver circle and pull-through, which are then cast in sterling silver by artisans in a women's cooperative in Nepal, who also hand-bead the length of the necklace. Amy's design -- combined with the talent of Nepali artisans and jewelry craftspeople -- bring this unique piece a quiet beauty that speaks volumes. We suggest wrapping the pull twice through the circle for a more secure hold.
Necklace measures 18" L (45.7 cm). Designed and handmade in both Nepal and the U.S.A.
Created to help women worldwide gain economic security for themselves and their families by earning fair wages for their handiwork, Global Girlfriend sources women-made, fair-trade imported, eco-friendly products. By supporting long-term partnerships with the artisans, it fosters equal employment opportunities, healthy and safe working conditions, technical assistance, and development strategies to help reduce poverty, one community at a time. Become a "Global Girlfriend" and help build a brighter future for girlfriends around the globe!

Even in the face of the global economic crisis, China's economy still managed to grow by a surprising 8.7 percent last year, according to the bean-counters in Beijing, putting the country on track to overtake Japan as the world's second-biggest economy.
With the U.S. economic slump and the seemingly never-ending boom in Chinese manufacturing, it comes as no surprise that China has become the world's biggest car market, with 13.5 million vehicles sold in 2009—or 2.1 million more than the U.S.

Garlic Potatoes with Fresh Herbs
Made by: Amanda Figge, Springfield Clinic
1 pound boiling or baking potatoes, with or without skins
3 large garlic cloves, peeled but left whole
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper (white preferred)
1. Fill a large saucepan with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut the boiling potatoes in half or the baking potatoes in quarters. Add the potatoes and garlic to the boiling water and return to a boil. Boil for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft all the way through when tested with a knife. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a medium bowl and the garlic to a small plate, reserving the potato water.
2. Mash the garlic cloves. Add to the potatoes, combining lightly with a potato masher or large fork until coarse-textured. (Do not sure a food processor.) Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding a little hot potato water if needed for the desired consistency. The texture should remain coarse.
Cook's Tip - For a taste change, substitute other fresh herbs for the rosemary and/or oregano. Parsley and sage are just two possibilities. This recipe doubles well.

He spent seven years in Turkey, during his civil servant father's posting to Ankara. In 1956 the family settled in Karachi.Entering the Pakistan Military Academy in 1961, the keen sportsman first saw action in the 1965 war against India and was decorated for gallantry. He had to endure the army's humiliating defeat by India in the 1971 war and served for seven years in Pakistan's special service commando group.
Promoted to the rank of general and named army chief in October 1998, Musharraf overthrew then prime minister Nawaz Sharif in 1999 in a bloodless coup. He first led the country as chief executive and then won a five-year presidential term in a 2002 referendum which critics say was rigged.

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then remove from the water and run under cold water - this prevents them from continuing to cook and from the yolks from turning grey. When they are cool, peel them and add them to a small bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, salt and pepper and carefully mash the eggs with the back of a fork. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Fold together until all is combined.
Spread egg mix onto one slice of the bread, top with lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion and cress.

The rig is listed in the Transocean Fleet Update Report dated August 5, 2008, along with nine other announced ultra-deepwater newbuild units, as the "HHI Drillship TBN (to be named)."
The five-year drilling contract is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2010, following shipyard construction. The contract commencement date is contingent on vendor performance and other factors. Contracted revenues related to the five-year contract term are approximately $1.17b to $1.19b, depending on countries of operation during the contract term. Estimated contract revenues represent the maximum amount of revenues that may be earned, excluding revenues for cost escalations, customer reimbursed equipment and miscellaneous adjustments.
Construction of the unnamed dynamically positioned, double-hull drillship is scheduled to take place at the Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in , with the first steel cutting scheduled in January 2009. The estimated total capital expenditure for the drillship, is approximately $740m, excluding customer reimbursed equipment and capitalized interest. The rig design is an enhanced version of Transocean's C.R. Luigs and Jack Ryan-class drill ship designs. It will feature Transocean's patented dual-activity drilling technology, allowing for parallel drilling operations designed to save time and money in deepwater well construction, compared with conventional rigs. It will also feature a third load path through a 165-metric-ton Active Heave Compensating Crane for subsea construction activity. The rig will also have expanded completion capabilities and a variable load of 20,000 metric tons.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were rebounding sharply Monday from a near-meltdown last week, boosted by a weekend plan offering a lifeline of fresh credit from the US Federal Reserve and Treasury.
In pre-opening trade, Freddie Mac's shares surged 38 percent and Fannie Mae 37 percent following a plunge last week in the face of widening fears about the solvency of the mortgage finance titans.
A bold plan announced Sunday gives the struggling giants that underpin trillions of dollars in home loans access to central bank lending facilities and a temporary increase, pending congressional approval, of their lines of credit from Treasury.
A Fed statement said its Board of Governors had granted the Federal Reserve Bank of New York authority to lend to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "should such lending prove necessary."
The loans would be at the primary credit rate offered to investment firms and would be backed by US government and federal agency securities.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson meanwhile said he was proposing temporary authority for Treasury to purchase equity in either of the two firms "if needed."
The two firms, chartered by Congress but owned by shareholders own or guarantee almost half of all US home loans, or about five trillion dollars of debt, and have been in crisis amid the worst housing downturn in the United States in decades.
Paulson said Sunday that the "central role" the two play in real estate financing meant they should continue to respond to shareholders and should not be taken over by the federal government.
"We are grateful for the leadership of Secretary Paulson and (Fed) Chairman (Ben) Bernanke," Fannie Mae chief executive and president Daniel Mudd said.
He urged Congress to ensure "swift passage of the new legislative proposals, as well as the important initiatives underway to assist homeowners and help restore stability to the housing market."
"We continue to hold more than adequate capital reserves and maintain access to liquidity from the capital markets," Mudd said.
"Given the market turmoil, having options to access provisional sources of liquidity if needed will help to strengthen overall confidence in the market. "We will continue to do our part to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the housing market now and in the future."
White House press secretary Dana Perino said Sunday that "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play an important role in our housing finance system, and they should continue to play this role in their current forms as shareholder-owned companies."
Richard Syron, chairman and CEO of Freddie Mac, said the company was "heartened" by the plan and called it an "affirmation of the important role of" the two firms.
Freddie Mac was scheduled to sell three billion dollars in short-term notes on Monday, and the market reaction will be crucial for the future of the two companies.
David Kotok, economist at Cumberland Advisors, said the plan is "a partial fulfillment of the implied federal guarantee" of the two government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs).
"It reassures markets and improves the liquidity necessary for the functioning of markets in Fannie and Freddie mortgage related debt ... A rally in their prices and decline in their yields is expected."
Ed Yardeni at Yardeni Research said meanwhile: "The taxpayers have become the losers of last resort of the US financial system. If mortgage losses mount at the two GSEs, then the Treasury will issue more debt and use the proceeds to inject more capital into them. The American public now gets a direct stake in the world's two largest hedge funds."

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 --
Editors Note: There is a video associated with this press release.
Corel today announced Painter® Freestyle(TM) Beta, the world's first motion-enabled digital art app for Leap Motion Controllers, to be showcased at South by Southwest (SXSW). Using a motion sensor, Painter Freestyle lets you paint with your fingers and control basic tasks such as selecting brushes, media and key commands, simply through gestures (no mouse or keyboard required!). Painter Freestyle is powered by the Corel® Painter® engine and includes several familiar brushes for artists of all levels to easily get started.
Pushing the Boundaries of Digital Art
"As pioneers in the digital art world, we're always looking for ways to push the boundaries of digital art and to bring new forms of expression into the digital art experience. By integrating the Leap Motion technology into Painter Freestyle, we've built a completely new, but very natural and expressive way to paint digitally," said Andy Church, Senior Product Manager for Corel Painter. "We're eager to see how this new technology will evolve the digital and performance art worlds. By introducing a beta version of Painter Freestyle, we're able to listen to hobbyists, professionals and new artists, which will help us create an optimal user experience for our full line of art software."
"Leap Motion is excited by the application Corel is developing-tools that help people create digital art are a natural fit with our vision for using motion-control technology," said Andrew Miller, President and COO of Leap Motion. "As Leap Motion works to evolve the future of human/computer interaction and provide a fundamentally better computing experience, Corel's Painter Freestyle offers new possibilities for general consumers as well as artists by developing new brush capabilities, digital canvas interaction and forms of artistic expression."
Creating New Artistic Expression Capabilities
Motion control digital painting provides a more expressive and natural way to paint or draw with the computer. Whether art is a passion, career or hobby, Painter Freestyle expands your creative possibilities and is an entertaining way to experiment with digital art.
"The seamless Painter Freestyle experience with Leap Motion makes the process of digital painting all the more attractive and accessible to people-it's simply so much fun!" said Jeremy Sutton, Corel Painter Master. "As a professional artist, I can make marks in Painter Freestyle that simply wouldn't exist otherwise with any other tools or media. For instance, the use of multi-strokes, essentially paint coming out of our fingertips, is something that could only have been dreamt of previously. This is not just an incremental improvement in a paint medium or art tool. This is truly a dramatic paradigm shift that will revolutionize the way we create and interact with the computer."
Painter Freestyle Feature Highlights
-- Select from several brushes including graffiti, airbrush, sargent, oil, chalk, ink or fractal -- Add multiple paper textures including wood grain, pebble board or fine dots -- Create multiple strokes using up to 10 fingers -- Control brush and color selection and brush resizing with motion gestures -- Use non-reflective objects such as chopsticks to provide more granular control
Demo Painter Freestyle at the Leap Motion Experience During SXSW
The public will have its first chance to try Painter Freestyle and other applications in development for the Leap Motion Controller during South by Southwest (SXSW) 2013 in Austin, Texas at the fun and immersive Leap Motion Experience. Join Corel Painter Jeremy Sutton who will be painting live and demonstrating the expressive capabilities of Painter Freestyle. Visitors can let their hands and fingers explore what makes Leap Motion one of the most exciting technologies today. The Leap Motion Experience will be open at 515 Cesar Chavez (the Old Iron Works parking lot) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Central time, March 9-11.
Availability and Pricing
Corel Painter Freestyle Beta will be available as a free download for Mac and Windows users from Airspace, the Leap Motion application store on May 13, 2013.

Take the Long View with Digital Transformation By @IoT2040 | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #Microservices #InternetOfThings
Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

BOSTON — Despite losing part of her left leg in the Boston Marathon bombing last year, a professional dancer is back on stage.
Adrianne Haslet-Davis, 33, from Boston, performed for first time since the being injured on Wednesday at the 2014 TED Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Wearing a white, sparkling short dress, Haslet-Davis showed off her new high-tech prosthetic leg as she twirled across the floor with dance partner Christian Lightner to a shortened version of "Ring My Bells" by Enrique Iglesias.
"I'm thrilled to have danced again," Haslet-Davis said statement released after her performance. "I was always determined to dance again, and I knew that I had to, that I would, and here I am," she said.
Haslet-Davis and her husband, Air Force Maj. Adam Davis, are among the more than 260 people who were injured at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.
Hugh Herr, director of biomechatronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said at the online conference he started designing the bionic leg specifically for dancing after visiting Haslet-Davis in the hospital. Herr, himself a double amputee, said he wanted the dancer to be able to get back to what she loved doing.
"A human being can never be broken," Herr said at the conference.
Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident in 1982, and climbs today with his own personally designed legs.
Herr said he spent hours in the lab studying dance to see what movements and forces were needed to create the prosthetic for Haslet-Davis.
Haslet-Davis said she hopes to dance publicly again soon on "Dancing with the Stars."
After finishing her performance, Haslet-Davis sported a huge smile, wiped a tear from her eye and took a bow.

It's summer, and it's traditionally the busy season for weddings. No matter whether you're getting married, planning your life with a partner or celebrating decades of bliss together, successfully handling money is an important part of successfully managing any long-term relationship.
Personal finances are a big part of our lives. When we commit to sharing our lives with another, we also commit to sharing financial decisions, at least at some level. Here are some important money tips that I recommend all couples heed. They apply equally well to couples at any stage of a committed relationship, including those who have been together for quite some time.
Talk about money. Discussing finances can be uncomfortable. But couples that tackle the issue head-on have a better chance of avoiding even more uncomfortable surprises that can become series obstacles in a relationship.
Understand your partner's financial goals and spending habits. While you may have different long-term plans for how you want to use money, as well as different day-to-day approaches for handling money, this conversation will help you be aware of each other's needs and desires—and ultimately help develop an approach that works for both of you.
Set a budget. If this sounds like familiar advice from the banker, it is. But for good reason. After assessing your finances together, figure out how you'll spend your money every month. Should you cut back on certain expenses to create a pool of money you can save? Is a big-ticket expense, such as a house or a car, in your immediate future or a little further down the road?
Setting a budget will put both of you on the same page when it comes to how much you can spend and how much you should save. A budget is the next logical step after you have had the money conversation. It should exist as a mutually agreed-upon plan that both of you respect at all times.
Manage your accounts. Whether this involves merging finances into joint accounts, keeping them separate or some combination of the two, you need to have a plan for how you will handle your accounts, including checking, savings, retirement and credit cards. There is no "right" way to do this. Every couple needs to decide for themselves. But talk about it and determine your approach.
Plan for emergencies. Life is full of surprises, from a washer or dryer conking out to a major medical expense. Have a plan, and a fund, ready for when emergencies and their bills hit. This not only will prepare you financially but it also will give you and your partner relationship-enhancing peace of mind. A traditional savings account or money market account at your local community bank is a great way to get started.
Spend respectfully. Establish guidelines with your partner for when big spending requires a big conversation. It's simply a matter of respect, and it can avoid a hurtful situation that can damage your relationship.
Update your beneficiaries. Now that you've officially become a pair, and especially if you have been together for a while, make sure you have updated your wills, life insurance policies, retirement savings plans and bank accounts to reflect your relationship. Do you want your partner to be the beneficiary of all of your finances? Now is the time to make that change, rather than waiting to do so in an emergency.
Our relationships involve money, and money can dramatically affect our relationships—positively and negatively. Talking about money issues with your partner and figuring out your money matters together not only is the right thing to do financially but it also can strengthen your bond.

"We loved our stay!! We were out there with 4 other couples for a celebration and it couldn't have been a more perfect set up. We loved the outdoor area and the outside table fit all of us for a nice bbq dinner! Loved the pool table for some added fun. Kitchen well equipped, lots of privacy, and everyone raved about how comfortable the beds were! Karen, her husband and their staff were so great to work with. Walked us through the house to make sure we knew how to use everything including Apple TV and had the house ready and pool warmed up upon our arrival. A great time!"Guest: The 50's Club Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 1, 2014View listing
"We stayed here for Stagecoach 2015. A great trip starts with a great place to stay! I cannot even begin to tell you how impressed we were with this home. The photos don't correctly display how BIG it is. All of the rooms were way bigger that we were expecting. The owners did a great job communicating with me and same goes for their friend who lives in the area. The walking distance to festivals was just about as close as we could get……but don't let that fool you, it is still about a 40 minute walk!!— Thats just the way it is with such large venues I suppose. Home was equipped with everything needed for a successful weekend. Lots of linens, coffee maker, hair dryers, a completely functional home. Overall, I couldn't recommend this home more, we loved it and hope to be back next year!"Guest: Meghan B. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 30, 2015View listing
"WE are so thrilled that we can back in 2016. The condo is extra large and so well appointed it has everything you need even a washer and dryer! The kitchen has even a wine chiller! The patio is wonderful for coffee in the morning overlooking the golf course and the BBQ was so much fun to entertain our friends. But the orange tree supplying freshly squeezed orange juice was a treat. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a place in Palm Desert it is in Woodhaven and centrally located to everything. The condo is on the golf course, has four swimming pools, club house and lots of friendly people and the owners are so easy to work with."Guest: Mariann Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 16, 2015View listing

Restaurant Reviews
11 Holland St
Ph: 385 2520
No licence as yet
Open for lunch and dinner, 7 days
Food: 4.5/5
Service: 3.5/5
Ambience: 4/5
Wine list: N/A
Price range of mains: $10.50 to $26.50
Cost: $60 for two.
Despite its central location, many Wellingtonians have never heard of Holland St, a quiet cul-de-sac of apartments and warehouses.
Hidden down the far end is Tiger, a brand new, deliciously esoteric Sichuan restaurant you would be unlikely to stumble across by accident.
You have to press a button before the front door slides open, giving the place the air of a secret society.
The clientele, owner Guodong Sun tells me, is 85 per cent Chinese; offal being the house specialty, vegetarians need not apply.
The main room is tastefully furnished with traditional Chinese chairs, red lanterns and parasols, but down a side passage is a series of ever more garish inner sanctums, all padded with sound-proofing and lined with imitation cobra skins.
Ostensibly these are karaoke rooms, though I could also imagine the top dons of the Flying Dragons holing up there to enjoy Sichuan Twice-cooked Pork (hui gou rou), a dish formerly eaten with ritualistic regularity at meetings of Sichuan's notorious secret societies.
Thin slices of pork are steamed and then stir-fried until they curl up like old-fashioned Chinese lamp cups. Zouzzed up with chilli-bean paste, soy, sugar, cloud ear fungus and fermented black beans, it's an authentic delight.
Another Sichuan classic, also not seen previously in Wellington, is Minced Meat Fried Beans (rou mou jiang dou) in which round green beans are partially fermented for a few days in a spicy brine before being wok-tossed with just a little pork mince.
As for the nasty bits, take your pick between tripe, heart, trotters, chicken gristle and Stir Fried Chopped Entrails of Sheep.
I passed on the last (entrails being too far down the wrong end of the body for my taste), but Sichuan Spicy Tripes was most delectable - about the mildest tripe I've ever tasted. It was springy in texture, certainly, but not at all barnyardy in flavour and, despite the name, not so much fiery hot as redolent of sesame oil. (I did have to correct my guest, however, who thought they were strips of savoy cabbage.)
Tea Scented Chicken Gristle is less outlandish than it sounds: the chef commandeers all chickens entering the kitchen and slices through the connective tissue between each leg and the torso, including a little chicken meat with each cut. These are deep-fried, along with green tea leaves, until crisp, the point of the dish being that gelatinous crunch so beloved of the Chinese palate. There's a spicy zing to the coating, given extra sparkle, I'm almost certain, with a good pinch of chef's cocaine - monosodium glutamate - that magic white powder which so offends the puritanical sensibilities of health nazis in the West.
If you have a penchant for pigs' trotters, the Spicy Pork Feet in Bamboo Tube will come as a revelation. Although traditionally cooked in bamboo, short lengths of trotter are here steamed for three hours in a pressure cooker until they puff into a soft, squidgy mass - the perfect carrier for the copious chillies, spices and aromatics cooked with them.
This being Wellington, not Chengdu, Tiger's menu has ample sops to the squeamish.
Thai Prawns will offend nobody, being fried and served over sweet chilli sauce, while the Orange Beef here is rather more subtly flavoured than other versions around town.
There's also Sweet and Sour Pork (which happens to be Sichuanese in origin) and, for the truly meek at heart, deep-fried spring rolls and chicken and cream corn soup.
As the night wore on, the wisdom of locking away the karaoke singers in padded cells became apparent. For despite the sound-proofing, we could still hear the droning of one singer, so hopelessly flat that even the waiting staff joined in with our laughter.
Beef Brisket with Chili Pot
Between the offal specialties and the boring old standards are dishes like Beef Brisket with Chili Pot, which should appeal to all palates. Slow-cooked with potatoes and served with its braising juices over thick, squidgy noodles, it has that deeply-rounded beefy flavour only found in a secondary cut. Despite the many whole chillies sprinkled over the top, it's not scarily hot.

Reuse containers
You can buy a variety of prepared foods in glass jars instead of plastic ones, including spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, salsa and applesauce, just to name a few. Instead of throwing these away or recycling them, reuse the jars to store food or take them with you when you're buying bulk foods. If you have plastic containers leftover from yogurt, butter or other food, don't throw them out. Simply wash them and use them to store food.

Big Star's Alex Chilton Dies at 59
His band-mate, Jody Stephens, confirmed the sad news to Memphis's The Commercial Appeal only a couple of hours after Chilton's death.
"Alex passed away a couple of hours ago," said Stephens. "I don't have a lot of particulars, but they kind of suspect that it was a heart attack."
Chilton, born in Memphis, first fronted the popular group Box Tops when he was 16 years old, scoring a handful of hits with the band. After they broke up in 1970, Chilton formed Big Star, who released several albums over the years, inspiring the likes of Paul Westerberg and R.E.M. with their gruff-vocaled, power pop sound.
Big Star were set to play the annual SXSW festival to support the release of the band's box set released last year on Rhino Records, entitled Keep an Eye on the Sky.
According to The Commercial Appeal, Chilton had been complaining of his health earlier in the day, was taken to the emergency room of a hospital in his hometown of New Orleans, LA, and was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Exclaim! sends our condolences to Chilton's family and friends.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].
