London's 'new top tables' are pulling in international A-list crowd
Published: 07 March 2014
Updated: 08:53, 01 April 2014
Traditionally the best restaurant tables in London for celebrity watching were at a handful of paparazzi-besieged West End landmarks such as The Ivy, the Wolseley and Scotts.
But with the explosion in the number of openings in the capital in recent years a new generation of fashionable venues are also pulling in the A-list crowd.
Food writer Richard Vines, UK chairman of the World's 50 Best Restaurant awards, has this week published an invaluable insiders' guide to of London "new top tables", which "the rest of us are unlikely to get just by asking."
Favourite haunt: celebs like Kate Moss are branching out from the likes of The Ivy and Scotts Two of the hot spots are high up the 47 storey Heron Tower on Bishopsgate in the City, where two restaurants, Japanese, Peruvian, and Brazilian fusion venue Sushisamba and British influenced Duck & Waffle are proving "pap heaven."
At Sushisamba recent diners have included Victoria Beckham, Henry Cavill, Cheryl Cole, Hugh Grant, Samuel L. Jackson and Nicole Scherzinger and table 26, a banquette seating four and offering unobstructed panoramic views of London is regarded at the "best in house."
One level up at Duck & Waffle, table 63 — an east facing banquette that can seat six where diners can watch the sun setting over Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf — "may be the best." It has been visited by Will Smith, Ashton Kutcher, Gwyneth Paltrow, Liam Gallagher and Keira Knightley.
One of London's fastest rising culinary stars Jason Atherton is also drawing large number of famous faces to his growing collection of restaurants, according to Mr Vines.
The Berners Tavern in Fitzrovia, where George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Helen Mirren, Uma Thurman and Oprah Winfrey, have eaten, has two sought after corner tables, 8 and 22, at the end of the room near the kitchen.
At West End steak house Hawksmoor Air Street the best seats for people watching the corner banquettes, tables 53 and 56, while tables 34 and 71 by the windows "are also popular." But for privacy ask for private booth at tables 23, 24 and 25 where Mad Men's Jon Hamm was seen eating recently.
In Soho, Vietnamese restaurant House of Ho has attracted the likes of Sheryl Crow and Paloma Faith and table 14 is the one to ask for, according to Mr Vines.
Also in Soho, at Berwick Street's Polpetto table 30 — a round table for four in the window is popular with celebrities such as the actor Jason Statham. Table 12 a booth with good views across the room also "looks like the money table."
At Pont Street at Belgraves Hotel "private cook to the stars" Sophie Michell attracts many celebrities to Belgravia including model Cara Delevingne. Privacy is best guaranteed at the booth that encloses table 5, while tables 6 and 7 "are also good and offer a view of the whole restaurant."
London's current hottest ticket, Nuno Mendes's Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone, is so in demand that "is virtually impossible for non-celebs to get tables."
Mr Vines, who is also chief food critic for news wire Bloomberg, said: "You hope every customer in a restaurant will be treated like a celebrity but we all know that's unlikely to happen. So it helps to know the best places to sit."

Hi friends!
Confession: I have been majorly slacking on my ab workouts lately. I guess it's because they are boring to me. Or because I always plan to do them last in my workout, and at the end of my workout, I'm always too tired so I skip out on it.
I know I need to be more diligent about it again, so I came up with this quick and effective 10 minute ab workout. I can roll right through it, and be done in ten minutes, give or take a few.
Since this requires no equipment, you can also do it at home. If I really am too tired at the end of my workout for even this 10 minute circuit, I can just go home and do it later in the day.
Quick explanations of some of the exercises
I'm only going to go over the less obvious exercises here! If you have any questions on anything else please feel free to leave a comment or contact me!
Knees to Elbows in Plank: In a plank on your hands, bring one knee across your body to the opposite elbow, and repeat on other side.
Double Crunches: Have legs straight out hovering above the ground, and hands lightly resting behind head with elbows out. At the same time, bring knees into chest, and crunch up and hold for 1 second.
Side Plank Dips: In a side plank (on your forearms or on your hands), lower your bottom hip so it's just about to touch the ground and raise it back to a regular side plank.
Try it, and let me know how you like it!
I'm linking up with JillConyers.com and TheFitSwitch.org for The Fit Dish.
By the way I am getting my wisdom teeth out today. Wish me luck!! And stay tuned for a post on staying healthy post-oral surgery! Lol, but seriously, it might happen.

Home-use indoor/outdoor shoe,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Crocs Santa Cruz, Men's Loafers (Shoes)
Ideal for use as a "outdoor" shoe for when you just want to nip out for 5 minutes or for use in the garden. They look a bit cheap though & are not exactly "slip-on" due to their tight fit. I bought them for a purpose (indoor/outdoor shoe for use at home) & they are ideal for that purpose.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears fined veteran Brandon Manumaleuna $22,000 for failing to attend mandatory team meetings Saturday evening in advance of the Bears' season opener against Detroit, according to an NFL source.
Meanwhile, the NFL fined Bears defensive end Julius Peppers $5,000 for a hit to the helmet of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. Brian Urlacher also was fined $5,000 for a late hit on a Lions offensive lineman after Tommie Harris recovered a fumble.
According to a source close to the player, Manumaleuna mistakenly believed the meeting schedule in the regular season would mirror the preseason schedule, which called for the meetings to take place the day of the game.
However, all four preseason matchups occurred at night, but the season opener kicked off at noon.
The Bears moved quickly in free agency to sign Manumaleuna to a five-year, $15 million deal that includes $6.1 million in guarantees.
The 30-year-old Manumaleuna, who played for Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz in St. Louis, underwent a knee operation in the offseason that caused him to sit out OTAs and a portion of training camp.
He is currently listed as the first-team fullback on the Bears' depth chart.
Jeff Dickerson covers the Bears for ESPNChicago.com and ESPN 1000.

Naturally, there's nothing wrong with either approach, but what I'm interested in today is your speed leveling secrets. You know, the things where you head over to another area at a funny time. Do you quest in higher level zones or lower level ones? Which is faster? Because, honestly, I'm not sure. You get more XP in higher level zones, per mob, but you might die more too, so that slows you down. You can probably complete quests faster in lower level zones, but then everything awards less XP... swings and roundabouts, as we say over here.
And what else? Heirlooms are rather an obvious one, as is being in a guild over level six so you benefit from the perks, particularly Fast Track. Do you level characters so much that you even have a pre-set path or plan that you follow? Or even just areas that you seek out or avoid thanks to their fantastic or awful leveling experience? What are the fastest races to level, even? I reckon human has got to be up there among the fastest, of course we're really only talking start zones here, but it seemed super-quick to me. What do you think?

QUESTION:I have small pitcher plants growing in the grass in my backyard. Looks like very dark cobra. Come every summer when very hot. They are about 4 or 5 inches from base to tip of hood. I have a pic. let me know how to send.
This sounds like Aristolochia erecta (Swanflower). It is an intriguing little plant that is usually missed unless it is blooming. It is larval host to Battus philenor (Pipevine swallowtail) butterflies. You might be able to find some of the larvae feeding on the plants if you look closely.
Here are more photos and information from the Image Archive of Central Texas Plants from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Texas and from Tales of the Back Alley Biologist.
If this isn't your plant, please visit our Plant Identification page to find links to several plant identification forums that will accept photos of plants for identification.

David Meerman Scott, a well-known marketing strategist, coined the term "newsjacking," which he describes as "the process by which you inject your ideas or angles into breaking news, in real-time, in order to generate media coverage for yourself or your business." The concept makes sense, and we all know that a great way to gain relevance online is by leveraging hot topics and news items that are beginning to trend-but it's a competitive, and fast-moving, field. How do content marketers stay on top of the relevant trends and news in their industries to ensure they're curating and communicating fresh, engaging content?

You lost
You lost.
I don't agree. I think you upgraded at 2nd, SS and OF, while losing on your 1b/3b combo. But the first time Miggy takes a grounder off of his eyeball, and misses a couple of weeks, you win big.
- 1 Reply to Jeff K.
Tough call that one. You left out 2 crucial pieces of info.
1. Who else do you have at 1B and 3B? We don't know if Cabrera is your 1B or 3B and that makes a difference.
2. Is this a roto or head to head? If it's roto improving your power/speed combo is more of a bigger deal than if it's head to head.
Based on the info you gave - I'd say you lose on reliability and health - with Cabrera being more reliable than Upton and Uggla being less risky healthwise than Weeks. However, you win on power/speed combo - Cabrera/Uggla/Peralta for Upton/Weeks/Cabrera.
If you look at it from the point of view of upgrades and downgrades it looks better for you. 1B/3B you downgrade from elite to a semi-risky player that could be anywhere from terrible to above average. In exchange you upgrade at OF from an overrated guaranteed bad player (Victorino) to an elite player (Upton) and from a risky SS with possible power and no speed to a risky SS with possible power AND possible speed. I would also say that Weeks has more upside but more potential for injury whereas Uggla has more potential to be the kind of player that's too good to drop but bad enough to hurt you all year long (and those are the most damaging kinds of players) but who also has his good years and is always healthy.
Overall, I'd have to say that this deal could go either way. Giving up the reliability of Cabrera hurts. Getting all of those power/speed guys is nice. In the end, there are enough unpredictable players in this deal that it might come down to who has a good year and who has an off year.

You are so proud of this lousy trade that you post it twice on the same board? You made a lousy deal.

For the first time in more than a month, investors are putting more money into junk-bond funds than they're withdrawing as the market recovers from its biggest slump in a year.
Investors deposited $680 million into U.S. high-yield bond funds in the week ended Aug. 13, following a record $7.1 billion withdrawal the prior period, according to Lipper. From July 10 to Aug. 6, they pulled $12.6 billion.
Demand is emerging after the more than $1 trillion market lost 1.92 percent in value from June 23 to Aug. 1 as conflicts escalated in Ukraine and Gaza, prompting investors to dump risky assets. Since then, the debt has gained 1.38 percent, with Citigroup, Barclays and others recommending investors snap up the securities.
"When we saw these big outflows we were looking to buy stuff," said Mark Okada, of Highland Capital Management, which manages $19.5 billion. "You would think the massive outflow would have done more damage to prices, but the market has been handling it pretty well."

Blogs Cliopatria Hitler Souvenir Anyone?May 13, 2004 11:11 pm
Hitler Souvenir Anyone?
From the New Zealand Herald (May 14, 2004):
What's in a name? Quite a lot of cash, if the name is Adolf Hitler.
Neil Duff from the Hibiscus Coast souvenired two items from the German dictator's bomb-shattered Berlin office in 1945. They were auctioned in Auckland yesterday by Dunbar Sloane.
One was a religious text book bearing his own "ex libris" bookplate, the other a typed thank-you card carrying his signature.
A private collector in the South Island bought the book for $8500. Its estimated selling price was $1200.
The book, God's Work and Luther's Teaching, was given to Hitler in 1933 by a Lutheran pastor who wrote a dedication.
The card - its estimated selling price was $3000 - went for $6500.
A printed card probably produced in bulk, it reads: "I express to you my sincere thanks for your greetings on the occasion of my birthday. They have afforded me great happiness."
Dunbar Sloane jnr said the auction house had taken no steps to authenticate the signature and had advertised the lot as "buyer beware".
The buyer, who made his bid by post, will not talk. He apparently has a sizeable
collection of military memorabilia and does not want to publicise the fact.

Dinner for Four did not disappoint.
Reservations accepted, great harbor view table, seafood stew almost perfect, good wine list, excellent service
Great food with awesome service. We had a party of 17 and these people were so amazing! My father who is very picky was even so impressed that he actually tipped over 20% I have never in 41 years seen him do this!
My wife and I stopped in for lunch and got the seafood stew and it was fantastic. Our young waiter was friendly and very helpful. We would highly recommend this restaurant when in Kennebunkport.
I loved this place, the food was amazing from start to finish. The bread was extra good, with the wedge salad and my red and white wine, delish! I tried everyone's meals including my kids and everything was extra tasty! I would go back in a second!
Absolute must stop for lunch or dinner! I had the fish and chips for lunch and the salad was also great! Great views from the dining room of the harbor. Fabulous service from our server, Emily.
Based on the location and the name, I was expecting weathered decking, plastic windows anf plates heaping with fried seafood. This is a really nice restaurant in an old home with an interesting mix of seafood and middle eastern style dishes. The seafood stew was excellent and the view is wonderful.
My two sisters arrived about 10 minutes before our 7 pm reservations. We were greeted in a very friendly manner and asked to have a seat on the sofa while they prepared our table. A minute or so before 7 the hostess came over to let us know our table was ready. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and ordered...
The restaurant offers both table seating and bar seating. When sitting at the bar, you can order from the bar menu which is lighter than the dining menu. The advantage is that you will meet friendly people and listen to background music. I have been going here since it opened and have never been disappointed.
Always a great experience! Dinner with an amazing view. We started with cocktails at the bar, Lemon Drop Martini, and Cosmo- both hand crafted with freshly squeezed juice. Delicious! We were seated by the window with an incredible water view. Beautiful! Start with the onion strings, crisp and hot, accompanied by a nice catsup. Mixed seafood grill delicious, and cooked...
You need to book and parking is tight but this place is worth the visit. We would recommend the seafood mixed grill. Pier 77 has a well earned reputation and a great buzz of activity about it.

Jokes about James Bond on a tractor have done the rounds since Indian farm machinery maker Mahindra and Mahindra emerged as a possible investor in Aston Martin, whose iconic British sports cars are favoured by 007.
But marriages of extremes across the automotive spectrum are not so rare, and tractors have played a vital role before in the history of Aston Martin, as well as of other fast car brands.
Porsche once powered German ploughmen through the 1950s and, from Italy, Ferruccio Lamborghini's name still gleams on thousands of tractors, half a century after he turned a fortune made from agricultural equipment into a passion for road racers.
Should Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd pass to the Mahindras, world No.1 in tractors, it would turn the wheel back to the 1950s and 60s when, owned by Yorkshire tractor magnate David Brown, Astons beat Ferraris to world and Le Mans racing titles and saw the fast but elegant DB5 upstage Sean Connery in early Bond movies.
That series of thoroughbred sports cars - "DB" for David Brown - remains, as the firm says, the "classic model bloodline that sits at the heart of the Aston Martin range", most recently the new DB9, launched ahead of the company centenary next year.
Brown made a fortune for his family's engineering group by designing tractors. Indulging himself in 1947, he paid £20,000 for Aston Martin, whose carmaking was halted by World War Two. He later added another London luxury car brand, Lagonda.
It gave the industrialist access to a glamorous world; in a 1952 picture, he stands proudly by a David Brown tractor - at the wheel sits Formula One champion Juan Manuel Fangio.
Back then, too, there was no lack of sarcasm about what a tractor man really knew about speed. And though Brown saw his Aston Martin cars succeed on the track and in popular culture, the Mahindras may do well to note that motor industry marriages of brawn and breeding have often not been built to last.
Ferdinand Porsche's tractor engines went out of production in 1963; Lamborghini's tractors and supercars are long divorced, the former now part of Italy's Same Deutz-Fahr, the cars part of a stable run by Germany's Volkswagen that also includes Porsche.
As for David Brown, financial crisis obliged him to sell his investment in Aston Martin after 25 years for a token £100 in 1972. At the same time, he sold his tractor business, too.

Pity the Multi-Millionaire Campaign Donor, Ctd.
I'm still out on Fresca leave, but I hereby use a lunch break to point to the latest development in the "pity the megabucks Super PAC donor" trend of a few weeks back. Frank VanderSloot, a national finance co-chair of the Romney campaign, sat down with the Heritage Foundation.

Rushing woman's syndrome
Do you find that you're always in a rush and your to do list seems never ending? You wouldn't be alone.
These days many people are rushing from one thing to the next, barely taking time to stop and smell the roses.
All this rushing can have a serious affect on your health and your waistline.
Meghan spoke to Dr Libby Weaver, author of Rushing Woman's Syndrome, to find out how being busy affects our moods, health and weight.
Tabata training
We're told to do half an hour to an hour of exercise everyday to stay fit and healthy but what if you could get the same results in just a few minutes?
There's a new workout that's fast and effective and it could save you hours of time.
It's called Tabata and it's a bit like interval training on steroids. It's growing in popularity across Australia and the world.
Meghan spoke to Tallon Ames, the Training Manager at the Australian Institute of Fitness, to find out what Tabata training involves.
Winter Salad
Salad and winter don't usually go together but in this month's Feel Good Food segment Louise Fitzroy brings us a salad that's perfect for any season.
It's a pear, cabbage and walnut salad with a delicious and nutritious dressing.
It's filling, tasty and full of amazing flavours and textures.
Louise Fitzroy explains to Meghan how to make this perfect winter salad.

Do you need an image that's already got copyright clearance? Consider the venerable Pictorial Archive series from Dover Publications, a rich source of public domain illustrations, graphics, typefaces, and design of all kinds. Here are the covers of just a few representative Pictorial Archive titles.
Hayward Cirker (1927-2000), the founder of one of the quirkiest publishing houses around, was a connoisseur of graphic design who had deep pockets and a singular vision. (I know. I worked for him in the early 1980s on the production of the Pictorial Archive series. I've included a bit of the firm's history below.) Cirker used to buy rare illustrated books at auction and turn them over to an artist who would select the best imagery and arrange it for faithful reproduction in an inexpensive paperback Pictorial Archive edition.
If you browse the book stacks at the Central Library, chances are you'll spy a "Did you miss this?" bookmark tucked in a title. Staff periodically flag a book that may have fallen off your reading radar. Who knows? You may discover a new, favorite title. Recent titles sporting the bookmark include a few multicultural novels (and one memoir) you may have missed.
An Apartment Called Freedom by Ghazi A. Algosaibi was originally published in Arabic. The story takes place in Egypt during the 1950s, a time of bitter international conflict over the Suez Canal. Within this political climate, four young men from Bahrain arrive in Cairo to complete their education.
Are you the kind of person that likes to settle in to fall with some good nonfiction? History, biography, memoir? Or maybe you're looking for some new recipes or home tips? We've got those too! Check out these coming soon titles!

After doing extensive research for last week's blog, Craft Beer: Good for What Ales You, my thoughts turned to Lucky Jim, the cultish, post-war novel written by Kingsley Amis (pictured) in 1954, and its iconic description of a hangover.
Jim Dixon, aspiring academic in medieval literature, tries to further his career at a weekend faculty party, but instead creates romantic entanglements and drinks far too much: "Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. He lay sprawled, too wicked to move, spewed up like a broken spider-crab on the tarry shingle of the morning.

Good sound
Expand Messages
- Re Roman Z;s remarks:
I suppose I am somewhat worried about the phrase "good sound".
This seems to me a bit of a moving target when one gets
down to details of what happens.
In a sense, we know what bad sound is:bad sound is a big bass boom followed by a big hole in the lower mids, a projection around 2k,
and a rising top end. It is in short what all too many speakers
exhibit, including a great many expensive ones.
Looking at Sphiles in room measurements gives one a somewhat
jaundiced view to say the least of what is actually going on
in audio.
But once these obvious problems are solved in general terms,
then it is somewhat ambiguous what ought to happen. This is the point I have been trying to make a lot recently(and I am afraid
repeatedly , to the point of some tedium).
Now the thing to note, to my mind, about bad sound as I have
described it is that it is both easily measured in the lower frequencies and very easily heard, too. It is not too much of a trick
to figure out what gives. Really the sub 300 area can be done with a SPL meter and some warble tones, pretty well. Certainly it is the case that a great many of the speakers measured in Sphile in room are making errors of this type, that would be easy to detect that way.
Rives did not suggest this for nothing!
And if you measure the speakers close up, the same it true pretty much for higher up. The big errors are easy to determine.
What is confusing is that when you get rid of the big errors,
exactly what to do begins to be ambiguous as noted. I do not
see much objection to getting the speaker anechoic flat by DSP
as a base line and then fine tuning the effects of early reflections and so on. But I would be reluctant to see this done by fiat, the fine tuning part.
I know this is frustrating from the engineering viewpoint. But the situation is very complicated and to model it correctly would
involve an enormous number of measurements at different points
and a lot of processing of the resulting data.
Moreover, it would involve eschewing correcting things with high resolution in the frequency domain that were spatially unstable.
Let me describe an experiment. Take an automated system with high res in the frequency domain that shows you measurents. Insert in the measurement set up also a 1/3 octave EQ device. Adjust the 1/3 octave EQ so that the resulting measurement curve is as close to the target curve as possible. Then do the correction on the resulting system --so that no broadband corrections are actually happening.
One will still hear some change when the DSP correction is applied.
But will it sound better in any reasonable sense?
It might if it does speaker correction alone(like the Essex unit).
In fact it probably will. But if it does one point correction
at the listening position--ummm, I think whether it will be better
is highly debatable. Of course if you KNOW which one is which,
you will probably convince yourself. But if you do not....
Anyway, people should try this. In principle the high res
correction is more accurate--at one point. But one point is all it is.
And you do not hear sound according to a one point measurement.
Moreover, you do tend to hear sound in 1/3 octave bands(this is the critical bandwidth of the ear). The one exception I think is that peaks which happen over areas of space--which almost always arise in the higher frequencies from anechoic errors of the speakers--
benefit from being smoothed out specifically with high resolution.
But this is Essex style correction of the speaker, not room correction. And it is better done using anechoic measurements.
Look at those Soundstage NRC measurements. The on axis errors mostly persist out to 15 or even 30 degrees. Not much is totally unstable.
And it is these persistent errors that one hears.
In short, anechoic measurements over a spatially distributed measurement window(albeit not a super wide one) is what one ought to correct first in the higher frequencies and then one ought to fine tune by ear.
Bass--that works ok most ways one does it, but even that is unstable
to the point that it makes little sense to correct it with high res.
Look at those measurements 6 inches apart in my digital room correction survey! (end of my digital correction survey).
Good sound--I suppose we all want it. But it is an elusive idea.

Remote controlled Chinook inbound
What do you get the remote control helicopter fan that's bored of all the usual remote controlled helicopters?
A remote controlled Chinook of course.
That's the plan from games and toy maker Spin Master who are to release an R/C Chinook later in the summer for helicopter fans looking for something a bit more.
The R/C Cargo Commander, as it will be known, carries cargo in flight and releases on command - have fun hitting the target with your 'behind enemy lines' air drops.
The helicopter includes controller and three pieces of cargo – a container, rescue boat and jeep.
Those looking for something a bit more edgy will want to check out the Sharp Shooter Helicopter that has tail lock technology for easy to control flight and 4 way control for precision indoor flying. It will also be able to launch six plastic missiles independently at the three targets supplied, unfortunately it was too quick for us to snap a picture.
