South America
Do you ever feel as if you're in a movie? We had a Life of Pi moment the other day. Like its hero, we were off the coast of Mexico, in a little boat (all right, minus the tiger). A humpback appears, and swims around just beneath us like some enormous black, liquid airliner. It's a silent scene, as none of us dares breathe.
From underwater, you'd see the three of us, peering down into the Sea of Cortez. Our daughter, Lucy, has her mouth wide open. It was to become a familiar expression over the next fortnight, that mixture of delight, astonishment and just a hint of panic.
These shores have been tempting fantasy for hundreds of years. Over in the west, there's Baja California. Twice the size of Belgium, this peninsula is stretched out over 1400 arid kilometres. Historically, anything living in the southern half -where we began - had to survive on dew, and, every summer, the landscape turns a roasted red, with a delicate fringe of pale-blue volcanoes.
From1535 on, everyone (including Cortez) thought they could tame it, only to be beaten back by heat, thirst and American Indians.
We were based in La Paz (the oldest town in the south, though it's no older than 1811). Although it has a few swish hotels and a promenade, it still feels like an outpost. Pelicans patrol the waterfront, and occasionally commandos (although no one's ever seen a drug war, they don't want one here). Life otherwise seems to be treated as a party, and New Year's Eve went on for days.
Beyond the streets, the desert begins. To a child like Lucy, it seems, at first, as if there's nothing here but cardons (think of armoured cucumbers, nine metres tall, with their arms in the air). But, with the right guide - like Orloff - a secret world appears. We found the footprints of a raccoon, and a coyote with pups. Even the plants seemed to be fighting it out; ''wolf's milk'' poisons everything, and the ''governess'' sends out roots to kill off its neighbours. We also came across a heap of old clam shells, left by the Pericu Indians several centuries before. ''They all died out,'' said Orloff (who had been an anthropologist), ''once smallpox appeared.'' The reward for all this desiccation was the beaches.
These were vast expanses of ridiculous turquoise. We often had the sand to ourselves, except for the frigate birds, looking for gulls to rob. You couldn't have designed these places better. One, Balandra, had nine little coves scalloped out of the mountains. In the mouth was a colony of sea lions, all drunk, it seemed, on fish.
It was the same out on Espiritu Santo, but wilder. Although it's twice the size of Manhattan, no one has ever settled this island except some short-lived Jesuits and a Japanese whaling fleet (whose members, in 1858,were all expelled or killed within three weeks).
Nature, therefore, has this place to itself: bone-strewn beaches, and an exquisite pink mountain rising 600 metres out of the sea.
Best of all were the whales. For the humpbacks, we drove south to Cabo San Lucas. Even before we got there, we could see their spouts, rising off the ocean. Cabo, meanwhile, services cruise ships with everything they need (Viagra, mostly, and peep-shows). It's brassy and flash, and I can't say I liked it, but John Travolta and Madonna do - and so do the humpbacks. That day, we saw half a dozen, grazing the depths. Back in La Paz, there was an even greater treat: the whale sharks.
These fish, 12 metres long (the biggest in the world), hang around offshore sucking up the plankton, and - this time -we were encouraged to disembark and swim alongside. John Steinbeck, writing in 1940, thought this coast was fabulously unreal, and I sometimes wonder if this was an unreal moment; swimming shoulder to shoulder with a vast biological vacuum-cleaner, the size of a bus, and covered in polka dots.
Happily, photographs suggest not.
Every year, 24,000 grey whales also visit Baja California. Starting in the Bering Strait, they'll swim more than 8000 kilometres in two to three months.
For our last few days, we flew across to the other side of the Sea of Cortez, and everything changed.
This time, the mountains rose in a wall of green, 3000 metres high, with mangoes at the bottom and snow at the top. This rampart - the Sierra Madre Occidental - defends an enormous habitat of outlandish creatures ( such as bears and giant toads) and a way of life broadly unchanged in 2000 years. What's more, through it all runs a system of fissures, 2000 metres deep.
Collectively, they're called Copper Canyon, and are deeper and more extensive than their grand American neighbour. Oddly, the way through this vast tectonic obstruction is by train. We boarded in El Fuerte, the conquistadors' gateway, a pretty town with an ominous fort. At first, all seemed well; plush seats, fancy restaurant, and a posse of soldiers.
It was only when it began to climb that I realised this was the maddest railway in the world. Soon we were diving into tunnels (86 in all), and then we corkscrewed up through a cathedral-like chasm. In 250 kilometres we climbed 760 metres. Small wonder that the Chihuahua-Pacifico (or ''Chepe'') was 100 years in the making, finished in 1961.
Higher up, another magnificent movie unrolled. This time it was cowboy country, with log cabins, horsemen, Apache pines, and huge, brown, well-muscled rivers. We stayed two nights up here; one in Creel, where the shops sell things such as cougar skins and biscuits by the sack; the other we spent on the canyon's rim, at Divisadero.
For some, there are zip wires and cable-cars. For others, it's enough just to stare down into this enormous purple hole in our planet's crust.
Like all good westerns, this one has its Indians. We spent our last day visiting the Tarahumaras in their caves.
Everything about their world was slightly surreal; huge rock formations shaped like mushrooms and frogs; urns made of pine needles; moon worship, and a ritualistic football, played across the mountainside (for more than 40 hours). Orloff said they never speak to white people, believing we're unfinished goods (''unfired clay'').
Before leavingwe stopped at the San Ignacio Mission (built 1744).
High in the wall is a motif to the sun god. I like that; the idea that - here in Mexico - little has changed, and that we outsiders, for all our fancy innovations, are merely grateful spectators.
The writer travelled as a guest of Audley Travel.
Down Mexico City way
For many of us, Mexico City is often only a stopover.
But, in just two days, you can get a tantalising glimpse of a civilisation that was grand, imaginative, and fabulously bloody: the Aztecs.
In some ways, this is still an Aztec city. Everyone has Aztec genes. But more than DNA, there's a blend of exuberance and iniquity. Mexicans are among the fattest, happiest people on the planet.
There's a touch of Aztec everywhere: in the beggars dressed as dwarfs, and the fire eaters waiting at the lights.
In every other sense, the ancient city of Tenochtitlan has all but disappeared.
The lake on which it stood is now covered in suburbs.
Its vast main plaza (the Zocalo) looks defiantly Hispanic these days, and the Templo Mayor-once 39 metres high - is now a stump (having only emerged from the concrete in 1979).
A few places would still be recognisable to ancient Aztecs.
One is the city that predated them, Teotihuacan (circa AD350-650), an avenue of pyramids dedicated to human sacrifice. Another is more serene: Xochimilco's floating gardens - the place to come punting while chewing your way through a leg of lamb.
Finish with the Anthropological Museum. Here are the Aztecs in flamboyant detail: jewelled skulls, a pregnant monkey carved from obsidian and a vast urn for human hearts.
FOUR SEASONS HOTEL, MEXICO CITY A 240-room Parisian-style hotel, with a calm topiary filled courtyard, fourseasons.com, doubles from about A$630 (NZ$672) a night.
SEVEN CROWN CENTRO, LA PAZ A simple modern hotel with a pool (but no dining room), well placed for the seafront, sevencrownhotels.com, doubles from about A$200 ($213).
POSADA DEL HIDALGO, EL FUERTE A mansion of stone-flagged courtyards, guns and paintings. Zorro was born here in about 1795, hotelposadadelhidalgo.com; doubles from about A$180 ($192).
HOTEL DIVISADERO, DIVISADERO On the rim of the Urique Canyon, the views are unforgettable. The food may be institutional, but this is a very cosy eyrie; hoteldivisadero.com; doubles from about A$250($267)).
THE LODGE AT CREEL Unusually for a Best Western, there are big cat skins on the walls, and the cabins have very welcome iron stoves; thelodgeatcreel.com; doubles from about A$190($203)).
TOURING THERE Audley Travel offers a 12-day tailor made tour of Baja California and Copper Canyon. See audleytravel.com.
WHEN TO GO Baja California is in bloom from January to March, and whales are prevalent. Avoid July and August when temperatures reach 40 degrees. December is fresh, and good for whale sharks.
SEE+DO To swim with whale sharks, operators on the La Paz seafront charge about A$100 ($107) (three hours). Creel's museum has a section dedicated to the Tarahumaras (entrance A$1 ($1.07)). Live like a cowboy and eat a workers' lunch (comida corrida), for A$6 ($6.40), at Veronica's in Creel.

Each of these packages is fairly small, and each sheet of seaweed is, say 3 inches by 4 inches. The whole package is about hand-sized (How's that for a vague measurement) and they'll fit in the purses of people who actually use purses to carry stuff around. They're not full-sized seaweed wraps, they're little mini snack sizes. It's also really easy to eat a whole package, so I'm limiting myself to one a day/every other day. It's difficult though! I feel like I could eat all 12 packages!
They pair well with anything and work super great as a replacement "chip" or a "cracker" for people who are low-carb or gluten free.
If you have any seaweed questions let me know!
Two stars are for the product being organic and fresh, however I won't be purchasing this flavor again.

Anecdotally, the link between cities, stress and mental health makes sense. Psychiatrists know that stress can trigger mental disorders — and modern city life is widely perceived as stressful. City dwellers typically face more noise, more crime, more slums and more people jostling on the streets than do those outside urban areas. Those who have jobs complain of growing demands on them in the workplace, where they are expected to do much more in less time.
But the idea has not been widely tested. It is difficult to study whether something as complex as a 'city environment' has an impact on the brain. To complicate matters, many growing cities include immigrant populations, which already have an increased risk of psychiatric disease associated with social isolation.

The holiday season can be 'taxing' for homeowners
As we look forward to the festivities of the holiday season, the real estate market slides into a winter slow down.
Buyers and sellers ask if waiting until spring wouldn't be advantageous. As always, it depends upon each individual's circumstances.
Unless there is legislative action to repeal it, this New Year could ring in the new 3.8 percent capital gains tax on the sale profits of certain properties.
One of my sellers was facing this tax, so we aggressively marketed and sold her property potentially saving her thousands of dollars.
I have buyers in the market still looking for the perfect fit. The holiday season with all of the decorative delights can be a fun time to shop for that house. Sellers can show off the best assets of their warm and cozy home in winter. Every season has its advantages and opportunities.
On Nov. 1, the first property tax installment is due and becomes delinquent Dec. 10 at 5 p.m. There is a 10 percent penalty if you are late.
If you have a property in escrow they will prorate your taxes. Buyers, be sure to read your escrow papers and title report to determine what was paid by the seller. The buyer is responsible for any unpaid taxes at the close.
If any taxes remain unpaid, call the tax collector and request a bill. Failure to receive a bill does not permit the tax collector to excuse penalties on late payments.
Buyers may be responsible for paying a supplemental property tax as well. This tax is the difference owed between the newly assessed value and the old. The supplemental property tax bill is sent to the owner only.
If your taxes are paid through an impound account, you may want to consider sending a copy to your lender.

Grammy Award winner and player of the slide guitar, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, brought magic in the air of Kundan International School, Sector 46-B, during his performance to mark the celebration of the 150th birth centenary of Swami Vivekanda and as a homage to Pandit Ravi Shanker.
Pandit Bhatt, who was accompanied by Mithilesh Jha on the tabla for the first time, also demonstrated the Madhuwanti Raga at the music concert with his genius creation, the Mohan Veena, and expressed his joy to see young children from standards 2 to 9 who were mesmerized by his performance.
"I perform at around 25- 26 concerts every month, many of them are in countries like America, Canada and Europe. But it is overwhelming to see small chidren sitting so patiently in a classical music concert. Our heritage of Classical Music needs to be preserved," said Bhatt.
"Music is intoxication," he added. Pandit Bhatt, who now has plans to create a new electronic instrument, explained, "There is a lack of maturity in the common Indian audience which is one reason it is isolating classical music, but with demonstrations like these, people can understand what they are listening to and appreciate its beauty. Also, there is a need for the classical music artistes to reach out to youth through the popular social media platforms."
He also admitted that there should be more effort by the government towards the promotion of Indian classical music and suggested that businessmen like the Ambanis should invest in it and start a television show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan that is dedicated to the cause.

Apple iPhone 5 Review And 4G Speed Test: The Best And Worst iPhone Ever
The Case Of The Exploding Samsung Galaxy S III Has Been Solved
Smartphones rarely, if ever, combust or melt of their own accord, so when a Samsung Galaxy S III owner stepped forward last month, claiming his shiny new device had met a fiery end, his experience came under heavy scrutiny. As expected, Samsung tracked down the phone and had the damage assessed, with the resulting report leaving the owner with little choice by to fess up and declare the accident "a stupid mistake".
Samsung Galaxy S III: Australian Outright Purchase Prices
I've never been a big fan of buying my phone as part of a contract. It's probably an archaic way of doing things, but a part of me enjoys purchasing the hardware straight up, without tying myself down to a single operator. If this is the approach you've decided to take with Samsung's recently released Galaxy S III, you might want to take a peek at the chart below.
The Galaxy S III? Yeah, That's Rooted Already
You would think a necessary component for rooting the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III would be the actual handset. Unless you're exceptionally pro, in which case you can just do it remotely using a leaked kernel. Before you ask, yes, this exact feat has been accomplished already, so the day you do purchase your shiny new S III, it's almost guaranteed you'll be able to root it immediately.
Did The Samsung Galaxy SIII Just Show Up In Vietnam?
Samsung's Galaxy SIII is due to launch officially on May 3rd. We've already seen some blurry images of what might be the phone — but now an even more convincing example has surfaced in Vietnam.
Is A Samsung Galaxy S III Already On The Way?
The Galaxy S II came out pretty recently, but Samsung doesn't care — at least if this blurry, "leaked" slide's correct. Phandroid says what we've got here is a bona fide internal image of the next best Android for 2012.

Bulk Carrier Ship
COSCO China Shipyards Diminish Group Q1 2013 Profits
The Group achieved $9.7 million net profit on turnover of $733.0 million in Q1 2013, but shipyard & drybulk operations contributions down. In Q1 2013, turnover from shipyard operations decreased by 25.5% to $719.2 million from $965.9 million in Q1 2012, owing to lower revenue contribution from the ship repair and ship building segment. The Group delivered 7 bulk carriers in Q1 2013. Of these, COSCO Zhousan and COSCO Guangdong shipyard delivered 2 bulk carriers each while COSCO Dalian shipyard delivered 3 bulk carriers. Turnover from dry bulk shipping and other businesses increased 7.8% from $12.8 million in Q1 2012 to $13.8 million in Q1 2013. Outlook As the Group continues construction in 2013 on new ship building contracts that were secured in 2010 to 2012 at low contract values due to the slumping bulk carrier shipping market then, the Group expects operating margins on these new shipbuilding projects to continue to be under great pressure notwithstanding improving gains in efficiency and productivity. In offshore marine engineering operations, the Group aims to enhance its offerings. It is currently one of the largest marine engineering groups in the People's Republic of China. Offshore marine projects in its order book as at 31 March 2013 include 1 deep-water drillship, 1 FPSO, 1 semi-submersible accommodation rig, 1 semi-submersible accommodation vessel, 1 jack-up barge, 1 semi submersible, 1 wind turbine installation vessels, 2 pipelay vessels

Do you think taxpayers should fork out more to keep The Hobbit in NZ?
Relevant offers
The Hobbit will be made in New Zealand, Prime Minister John Key has announced.
LATEST: He said at a press conference this evening that new labour laws would be introduced to Parliament tomorrow to support this. It will apply only to the film industry.
Mr Key also announced The Hobbit will get a $20million ($15m US) tax rebate - US$7.5m per film - and said he would be surprised if the films were the last to be made by Warners in New Zealand.
The Government will also offset U$10m of Warner Brothers' marketing costs. In exchange Warner Brothers will work with the government to promote New Zealand as a film production and tourism destination.
Marketing from the movies will be worth ''tens of millions'' to New Zealand, Mr Key said.
The future of the $670 million production hung in the balance after an actors union issued a no-work order on the films last month.
Talks were held overnight with studio executives from Warner Brothers to resolve concerns about industrial laws in New Zealand.
But the studio was also holding out for a bigger tax subsidy from the Government.
The film's executive producer Sir Peter Jackson would "be a very happy camper" Mr Key said at the announcement.
The movie will premiere in New Zealand and the Government would plan a major campaign promoting the country to coincide with its launch, Mr Key said.
"It's good to have the uncertainty over, and to have everyone now full steam ahead on this project."
He said he thought the Government had got the package right. A memorandum of understanding with Warner Brothers was signed at around 7pm tonight.
It was "unacceptable" to the New Zealand public to have the film go offshore, he said.
He believed the new legislation would not take rights off workers.
Without those changes to the law it was a no go, Mr Key said.
"I am delighted we have achieved this result," Mr key said.
It will safeguard work for thousands and "put New Zealand on the world stage".
National already have the backing of the ACT party and United Future for the legislation and are talking to the Maori party. They will also discuss the changes with Labour, he said.
Mr Key was returning to his office to call Sir Peter Jackson. He had not spoken to him since yesterday morning.
Mr Key earlier said overnight talks with executives from the US studio had gone a long way towards resolving concerns about industrial laws in New Zealand.
Negotiation came down to how much the Government was prepared to subsidise the producers.
But Mr Key said there was still a huge gulf between Warner Bros' demands for a bigger taxpayer subsidy and what the Government was willing to pay.
"I think it's fair to say on the financial side there's a fair bit of hardball being played on both sides.
"We have the capacity to move a little bit, but we don't have the capacity to write out cheques that we can't afford to cash."
He said if it was "just a matter of dollars and cents" the Government was not prepared to bridge the gap between what other countries offered and the 15 per cent tax breaks available here.
He said Warner Bros was asking for "lots" and the Government was offering "not lots".
However, things were looking more promising on the industrial law front.
"We got some good advice overnight and I think that's an area which is looking increasingly more likely that we can reach agreement. There's a greater degree of confidence. That's looking more optimistic, but on the financial side of things at the moment, it's looking pretty difficult."
He said the difference over financial incentives meant he was still only 50-50 confident the films would be made here.
He signalled that the Government was almost sure to change the law to clarify when someone was a contractor and when they were an employee, but would not say whether it would apply just to the two Hobbit films, the film sector in general or all workers.
He rejected claims from Council of Trade Unions president Helen Kelly that the Government was using Warner Bros' threat to move the movies offshore to change the law.
Ms Kelly said the Government appeared poised to change the law for all workers and doing so at Warner Bros' request would be a serious challenge to New Zealand's ''concept of sovereignty''.
She also questioned whether Warner Bros had actually demanded the change, and suggested the Government was using the threat of the films being moved to drive it through.
''This is another attack on fairness at work. It's another attack on working people. It can be added to the pile of things going through the Parliament,'' she told Radio New Zealand.
''It's unjustified. It's opportunistic of the Government to chuck this in as a result of this dispute.
''I want to know whether this is Warners genuinely calling for this law change or ... whether there are other people behind it or whether this is simply the Government over-egging the custard on this and saying 'while we're here, we'll get some more law changes through'. We know they're keen to reduce worker rights - they've shown that. Either way it's unacceptable. It's an unfair law change.''
She said the industrial dispute that saw a union boycott of the films - since lifted - related to actors wanting to bargain collectively, not them challenging their status as contractors.
Mr Key said Warners concerns centred on a Supreme Court ruling that found a model maker at company Three Foot Six Ltd was an employee, despite his employment agreement referring to him repeatedly as being a contractor.
Employment law changes made by Labour in 2000 changed the test for determining someone's employment status so that courts focused on the nature of the relationship rather than the wording in the agreement.
Contractors cannot take claims for unjustified dismissal and do not have many of the other employment rights granted to employees.
Meanwhile, Sir Peter Jackson today released a letter which he said proved the actors' unions had already decided to blacklist The Hobbit before requesting a conversation with him.
The letter, from The International Federation of Actors, was sent to the US directors of production company 3 Foot 7 Ltd on August 17, warning that the federation had instructed its members no to act in the film until the producers had entered into bargaining with the union.
Sir Peter said that letter was the first time he had been made aware of the issue.
"It was the first time a meeting was ever requested and it was clear from the letter they had already voted to blacklist us, before even asking for one conversation with me," he said.
"I am sick and tired of hearing [union NZ Actors] Equity say 'All we ever wanted was a meeting', because it's disingenuous. They fail to add that from the outset, they had a gun to our head."
"It just made me incredibly angry, I wondered how can a union behave like this? How could Simon Whipp [Australian union representative from the Media, Entertainment & Artists' Alliance, or MEAA] initiate an international strike action against our film with no prior vote from the Kiwi membership?"
Sir Peter said he decided to release the letter after NZ Actors Equity circulated an email to its members yesterday saying all it sought was to "meet with the production and discuss the conditions under which performers would be engaged".
"It amazes me that the executive officer of NZ Actor's Equity can walk roughshod over our industry and the union itself fails to adhere to the most basic principles of democratic process," he said.
"NZ Equity has given Simon Whipp absolute power and no one seems to care if he abuses it. He can threaten the livelihoods of thousands of Kiwis, jeopardise a huge financial investment to this country and he's not held accountable. It's unbelievable."

Park Avenue Summer Ratings and Reviews

We came for restaurant week so I have no idea how exorbitant it gets otherwise - my friend comes every year. I love the revolving theme based on season and the attention to detail. When I inquired about the froze (frozen rose wine), the hostess sent samples to our table - delicious. Everything we had was outstanding!
Restaurant week was the perfect opportun ...
Restaurant week was the perfect opportunity to try out this more expensive restaurant. The limited menu offered ($42) was amazing. Started out with the corn gnocchi for appetizer. I had the Pork Loin and my guest had the salmon as entrees. We went off the prix fixe menu to get a side of charred asparagus. The Peach Sorbet and a passionfruit tart finished up the meal. I would go back here again and not on restaurant week, but it is definitely in the special occasion category. Can't wait for "Autumn".

Since this was restaurant week, we hit a home run. Everything about the restaurant itself...including staff, food, ambience was top notch and a bargain to boot. This was a first time visit for us, but it will certainly not be the last!!
Park Avenue Summer is a worthy successor ...
Park Avenue Summer is a worthy successor to Park Avenue Spring, which was also a winner. Each season brings a breathtaking new decor, and exciting seasonal cuisine. The Viking Village scallops with creamed corn and pickled peppers were a perfect summer treat and the Bases Loaded desert was not only delicious but so visually humorous that it sent us out the door chuckling.
Whatever the season, the cuisine produced by chef Zene Flinn, is remarkable for its quality, consistency, and creativity, making every meal a culinary voyage, and the restaurant a perfect place to celebrate special events.

Very disappointed in our dinner. The food was average not what we have had in the past which was outstanding!! Perhaps something has changed in the kitchen. In the past we have recommended your restaurant to our friends but after our last dinner
we cannot.

We were looking for a restaurant off the beaten path and we were in Kate spade the sells person there Recommended Park Ave., South summer very high. We're very grateful that she did the food was great the atmosphere was great and the service was great!

No matter the season, Park Avenue does it right! The summer menu is light, refreshing and delicious, with caviar and vodka martinis or gimlets the perfect way to begin. Whatever you order, rest assured the ambience is sublime, the service, just perfect, and the food is incomparable!

This was my third visit to the restaurant and, while I'm giving it a high rating, it was a bit disappointing, unlike when I'd been there before. It was Wine Week and, unlike the last Wine Week I attended, all the wines were put on the table before the food arrived and without the explanation that came with each course previously. It wasn't the kind of wine pairing I expected, based on my earlier visit. Our server was fine but the person who served the wine, didn't do her job. It was also noisier than on previous visits which made it more difficult to have a business meeting. I had requested a quiet area and was told I could be accommodated. This is such a lovely restaurant and offers so much that I'll probably return, but with some trepidation.

We were seated right next to an ice cream machine and the air coming out from the machine directly hit us. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I think they must remove that machine to somewhere else. Food was great! We loved it!!! Very fresh~ love the interior too.

It was our 30th Wedding Anniversary . We told our waiter who brought us 2 beautiful glasses of champagne with our dessert which was decorated.
They paced the meal very nicely but forgot our side which came out cold. They were very apologetic and brought us out 2 more sides all complementary by the manager .
All in all they made our experience very special!

Beautiful setup, charming service, mouth-watering food (including the lovely cornbread) (the summer gazpacho and 'beats and bobs' were divine, as was the summer corn sundae!) - we wonder why we missed it all this while! We'll definitely be back.

Park Avenue has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. The ambiance, service and quality of the food are all in the top rung of New York City restaurants. Whether enjoying a special occasion, as we were, or simply enjoying the dining experience, it doesn't get much better. The food is presented beautifully and the tastes are layers upon layers of culinary adventure. Their flexible Prix Fixe choices (allowing 2 entrees of half portions) really allows you to explore this amazing menu. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. It is a New York City treasure!

As a frequent patron of many NYC restaurants, I must admit that I was excited to try Park Avenue. It is a beautiful space with lovely décor. We ordered the tasting menu to allow us the opportunity to try different things on the menu. The soft shell crab appetizer was the only item on the menu I would order again. The crab was good. The crudo was just average. As for the entrees: The halibut was somewhat dry and bit over-done. Good sized offering but the squash and sauce accompanying it were awful. The sauce was terrible and too "heavy" for such a light fish. The squash was "thrown" on top and didn't make sense or taste very good. The short rib was tough - I needed a knife to get through it and the vinegar-type sauce was awful and over-powered the dish. The desserts were mediocre. The berry crostata was ok (very tart) but the verbena ice cream tasted like lemon soap. The chocolate cube was the better of the two desserts and was tasty. We are glad we tried the restaurant but would not go back or recommend it. There are too many other restaurants that are better.

I have eaten here in the winter but it was my first time dining in the summer. At first the summer menu seemed somewhat limited but it wound up being just right. The tasting menu for $79 was an excellent value and every dish was really good. We enjoyed several excellent things like the melon and tomato appetizer, the Hamachi appetizer, the short ribs entree and the lobster entree. The berry tart with ice scream for desert was delicious and some of the chocolate deserts we saw at other tables looked amazing. Will go more often and highly recommend.

Everything about Park Avenue Summer is excellent! From the bartenders to the service to the food. All amazing. Our favorites were the latkes and caviar, salmon and lobster. But no complaints about anything. Can't wait to try the other seasons!!

If you are in the mood to actually dine, this elegant, sophisticated restaurant hits all the high notes. From the warm greeting upon entry, to knowedgeable, efficient, service, and sublime delicacies to pique any palate, Park Avenue embodies both gracious hospitality and fine dining at their best!

This is a special place. The seasonal decor and food/drink offerings are imaginative and tasteful. From the seasonally selected amuse bouche, to the seasonal cocktails and main menu items, the food is delicate and excellent. The servers are professional but not overly solicitous or stiff. Ever-changing, always lovely.

The food was delicious & plated beautifully. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was attentive & very knowledgeable about the food & chefs. His nickname is "X" and he made us feel comfortable. Tara helped us select some incredible desserts. "Bases Loaded" is perfect blend of chocolate and snacks (will not say the rest of ingredients), it is a must have! I will highly recommend. I will go back for the Fall menu.

Omarion ft. Usher & Fabolous - Icebox (Remix)
Posted 9 years ago
Tags: Omarion
After numerous remixes surfaced on the Internet of Omarion's hit single, Icebox, the official release is upon us. Joined by the premiere R&B singer of the past decade, Usher dazzles us with a second verse duet that puts most R&B boys and girls to shame. In fact, the verse is so good; it outshines the song's original artist. For a beginning and opening appeal to Hip-Hop fans, Fabolous jumps on the record, in what seems a promotional move to hype his existence on planet earth after a mercifully long vacation from the game.

AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 12/07/12 -- Accruent, LLC, a provider of software used by many of the world's leading corporations and institutions to manage their real estate and facilities, today announced that it has acquired Evoco, Inc. The acquisition will result in an expanded suite of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for customers of both companies.
Evoco, based in Calgary, Canada, provides retail chains, including Luxottica (a leader in premium fashion, luxury and sports eyewear), with SaaS solutions to improve the time to revenue associated with complex store construction programs. Retailers use Evoco to control project expenditures and manage the many document exchanges that occur between external stakeholders, such as contractors, vendors, architects and engineers, and internal stakeholders, including project managers, finance, procurement and facilities management. Using Evoco, customers compress the time taken to plan, design and construct new locations, store expansions and remodels. Evoco's largest customer is using Evoco to manage a $32 billion construction program, involving 2,500 stores in more than a dozen countries worldwide.
"The Evoco team and customers are a strategic addition to Accruent," said Mark Friedman, chief executive officer of Accruent. "The acquisition illustrates our commitment to consolidate the best products, people and customers in the markets we serve. Evoco is the best-in-class solution for one of the most critical challenges faced by retailers, whose success turns on their ability to deploy capital as efficiently and effectively as possible to drive revenue. This is a primary focus of Accruent's retail suite, and Evoco perfectly complements and extends our existing project management capability deep into the design and construction process."
Evoco Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Alice Reimer said, "We've grown our business through an amazing customer base with world-class products and a strong emphasis on service and support. By joining forces with Accruent, we can accelerate and expand the capabilities we offer Evoco customers and introduce new products to the existing Accruent customers." Reimer expressed her excitement about the future of the company, stating, "We are now part of the largest independent provider of real estate and facilities solutions. This is an exciting new chapter for the Evoco team where the boundaries of what is possible are dramatically redefined."
The integration of Evoco operations into Accruent is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2013, with key Evoco executives assuming leadership positions in the combined company. Support for Evoco and Accruent products continues without interruption. Accruent will make Evoco's construction project management solution an integrated offering within its SaaS suite for the retail industry.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Ernesto Catena Selections Siesta Malbec 2007
Malbec from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
A wonderful red tone with violet reflections, clean and very bright. In the nose there is an explosion of cherry fruit, fresh raspberry and plum. Toasty scents and subtle hints of vanilla are indications of the wine's passage through small oak barrique. The entry in the mouth is juicy, filling up the sense of taste with an invasion of fruits, honey, a touch of caramel, and gentle notes of minerals and mint; further adding to the interesting character of this wine. I truly find myself in front of an exceptional Malbec, where the hands of the viticulturist and enologist are clearly expressed. There is no need to wait for this wine, as it is drinking so nicely at the moment. I love this wine and thank the gorgeous soils of Mendoza for giving it to us!
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Rich but very well-focused, with Kenya AA coffee framing the roasted fig, hoisin sauce and plum pudding notes, which glide through the graphite-supported finish. Muscular, but defined and fresh. Impressive. Drink now through 2011. 1,200 cases imported. "
Ernesto Catena Selections Winery
Ernesto Catena Selections are an expression of Ernesto Catena's intense passion for wine, Argentina, art, and life. A Mendoza native, Ernesto personally selects the fruit from the prestigious sites of Tupungato, La Consulta, Vistalflores, Altamira, Tunuyan in the Valle de Uco that is carefully crafted into wines of distinct character and typicity. Tahuan wines highlight Argentina's premier grape varieties, expressing seamless varietal character, enhanced by the microclimate of Mendoza. Structured and intense, Siesta wines capture the depth and complexity produced by the distinct combination of altitude, climate, and soil that define this exciting region which has been a great inspiration to international winemaking.

About Argentina(ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Everything that we do in our lives, be it our education, our career, our choice of partner and the decision to raise a family, stems from one desire. The desire to live a life that matters.Some people sit and think about a different life, and then there are some like Rob Bialostocki who go out and actually do it. The result? A Life That Matters, which is a blog chronicling Rob's travels and the things he gleaned from them. Rob visited the BlogAdda office during his time in India, and very kindly agreed to share his experiences and views in an interview.

Being an adult is hard work, what with all the responsibilities you have to take care of, but it also gives you amazing returns and benefits. Just like filing taxes! Did we just hear a collective groan on hearing the term taxes? That's exactly what we need to change with the #TaxPledge activity in association with H&R Block!
Blog about how to take the message of #ShareTheLoad to the next generation! Tell us ways in which you can raise the next generation with the right values of gender equality in the household, and no scope of gender stereotypes.
All of us are in an invisible race today, running towards money, fame, stability and trying to check off items in our 'must want' list. But as they say, when you look back at your life, you will remember the time you spent with your loved ones, and not the figure you've accumulated in your bank account. Memories that you make with your loved ones are the true treasure that you accumulate through your life. And we want you to share these #MemoriesForLife with us through a blog post!
Image speak - A lot of bloggers tend to ignore this, but the images on your blog speak a lot for what you write. Use good quality images and make sure they express your written stuff in utmost simplicity yet precision.
Audience quest: Pay attention to what your audience is asking and give them what they are looking for in your blog. Whether it is content or questions, make it interesting.
Formatting - Your post need not be a circus. If you are not good with formatting, then stick to a theme that is light and descent in colors and the post layout. If you are good with trying new stuff then use that skill to better express through colors, fonts and layouts. Avoid colors that are dark and fonts that are overtly bright.
However, as it always happens, things get in the way. Dreams always need to be put on hold in order to fulfill our responsibilities. Such is life. We all have dreams that were left unfulfilled. What if that need not be the case anymore? What if you were given the chance to fulfill your one true desire, the one you always wanted to but never got the chance to?
Take your dream and multiply it by a hundred. Don�t just travel the world, take a tour of a distant galaxy. Don�t just dream of being a CEO, become a superhero. Give us your wildest unfulfilled dreams and imagine a world where you could finally fulfill them. Open up your hearts and let your unbridled dreams ride into the imaginary unknown. There�s no longing too childish and no wish too unattainable. The only important thing is what you want to do.
In the movie 'Superman Returns, Lois Lane writes an article - 'Why the world needs Superman'. She couldn't be more right. Be it our desi Shaktimaan or Batman, Iron Man or Thor, superheroes are the ones that take on the mantle of keeping the world together through their actions and lessons. Their superhuman powers exceed all evils, their extraordinary gifts fight crimes and protect the public. It is time to bring these superheroes out of the comic books and movies into the real world.
The festive season that started with Ramzaan was marred by news of terrorist attacks, hate crimes and police oppression. Airwaves are chock full of endless stories of killing and atrocities everywhere, leaving no place for a ray of hope to tell us that all is not lost. With custodians of different Gods in an infinite debate, protectors turning predators, racism keeping a constant eye on mankind, environmental damage and more, the world need not wait for a real apocalypse to happen, for destruction is already around the corner. This is the time to ensure that positivity also finds its way to people and gives us hope in these dark times.

Mercedes 'Self-Driven' Advertisement Doesn't Feature A Self-Driving Car (Update)
A Mercedes print ad that is featured in multiple magazines advertising a "self-driving car from a very self-driven company" doesn't actually feature a self-driving car.
A Mercedes print ad that is featured in multiple magazines advertising a "self-driving car from a very self-driven company" doesn't actually feature a self-driving car.
Last month, Google focused on teaching its self-driving cars to honk appropriately. Now, it's taking safety into its own hands and learning how to deal with all those cyclists on the road.
Microsoft won't build its own self-driving car, but wants to make the operating system that runs in one and lead the move to turn the car into an office.
The news that Google's next self-driving car will be a modified Chrysler Pacifica hybrid has quickly elevated "minivan" from the punchlines of dad jokes to a totally serious solution for our transportation troubles. It's not surprising at all. Zipping a bunch of people and their stuff around a city safely is exactly…
Google's self-driving car might be intentionally designed to look cute and innocent, but as we all know, puppy-dog eyes are not enough to escape the police.
Bosch has announced that it's been working on a system that can detect and help avoid pedestrians that step out in front of cars, and it hopes to fit it to production vehicles as soon as 2018.
This Dodge Caravan snapped in Orlando this morning certainly looks like one of Apple's supposedly pre-autonomous minivans that are currently swarming the country. Have you seen one of these things? Help us figure out what's happening here.
Earlier this week, we heard billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk describe his vision for the future of self-driving vehicles. Turns out, when Musk said "we'll be there in a few years," what he actually meant was, his company, Tesla, will be there this summer.
Google is a front runner in the autonomous auto future. Back in May, Google showed off an early prototype, a hack together little car with an exposed roof sensor and non-functioning headlight stickers. Today, in a short blog post, the team revealed the first fully functioning model.
We've moved beyond the geewhizOMG phase of autonomous cars and into the dirty, nasty, contentious world of legislation and regulation. The California DMV has issued its rules that Google (and others) have to abide by, and with that fight over, now we know what the crew from Mountain View wanted to hide.
Google's biggest day of the year is here: Google I/O! And along with fancy developer seminars with enticing names like "open-source technologies from the Hadoop ecosystem as part of your Cloud toolkit," we're also going to get some Fun Announcements. Here's what we're expecting, what we're hoping for, and what'll have…
Why exactly does the melting of the West Antarctica ice sheet matter? (Hint: look at that image.) What's the secret to seamless driving in Google's automated car? Why are we racing slime molds? Catch up in this week's Landscape Reads!
Some lucky attendees of this week's TED conference were given rides in Google's self-driving car. And one in particular was kind enough to take a video of what it's like to ride shotgun. Plenty of NSFW language, because THE CAR IS DRIVING ITSELF. [YouTube via Scobleizer]
Click to viewThat driverless car Google's been working on? Good Morning America spent some time behind the wheel. They even played chicken with it.
This is not a Google Street View truck. It's actually a self-driving car. The car is part of a new research initiative that Google's been road resting: Artificially intelligent cars that drive themselves.
In Your Flying Car Awaits, author Paul Milo discusses "robot butlers, lunar vacations and other dead-wrong predictions of the 20th Century." Here are 10 calamitous tech failures. Even the ones that did make it aren't anything like their original visions.

A Michel Gondry-directed, Seth Rogen-written action comedy at first seems like a pretty random collaboration. Is it random enough to work? Well, the trailer does not seem to give an aye or nay. It has all the staples of a big budget superhero film, with a tragic origin story, city corruption, car-mounted machine guns, a generous dose of comedy, and Cameron Diaz as a sexy secretary. Rogen certainly brings his signature lovable loser style of humor, but there's not a bong to be found here. Rogen stars as an heir to a media empire, who finally makes something of himself when he crosses paths with Kato (Jay Chou), who brings all the gadget-savvy know-how to their vigilante operation. It's unclear how good the film will be, since the trailer is really just showcasing what's expected of an action comedy (Christoph Waltz as villain—check!). Still, it's hard to believe this is the same director who made The Science of Sleep and Be Kind Rewind.
