No one plans a caper better than Dortmunder. His friend Kelp picks him up in a stolen Cadillac and drives him away from Sing-Sing, telling a story of a $500,000 emerald that they just have to steal. Dortmunder doesn't hesitate to agree. The emerald is the crown jewel of a former British colony, lately granted independence and split into two nations: one for the Talabwo people, one for the Akinzi. The Akinzi have the stone, the Talabwo want it back, and their UN representative offers a fine payday to the men who can get it. It's not a simple heist, but after a few years in stir, Dortmunder could use the challenge.
Jimmy the Kidby Donald E. Westlake
Taking cues from a pulp novel, Dortmunder arranges a kidnappingKelp has a plan, and John Dortmunder knows that means trouble. His friend Kelp is a jinx, and his schemes, no matter how well intentioned, tend to spiral quickly out of control. But this one, Kelp swears, is airtight. He read it in a book. In county lock-up for a traffic charge, Kelp came across a library of trashy novels by an author named Richard Stark. The hero is a thief named Parker whose plans, unlike Kelp and Dortmunder's, always work out. In one, Parker orchestrates a kidnapping so brilliant that, Kelp thinks, it would have to work in real life. Though offended that his usual role as planner has been usurped, Dortmunder agrees to try using the novel as a blueprint. Unfortunately, what's simple on the page turns complex in real life, and there is no book to guide him through the madness he's signed on for.

The Mercenariesby Donald E. Westlake
Money For Nothingby Donald E. Westlake
Once a month they came in the mail. As regular as clockwork. Addressed to Josh Redmont. Issued by something called "United States Agent." Each check for the exact same amount: $1000. At first, Josh tried to find out if some mistake had been made. After a while, he simply accepted that for unknowable reasons some obscure, untraceable branch of the U.S. government was paying him $1000 a month. A poor temp when the checks first appeared seven years ago, Josh has now become successful in his field, with a wife and child, a nice Upper West Side apartment, a summer rental on Fire Island - so the checks don't mean that much anymore. That is, until a smiling stranger approaches Josh with words that chill him to the spine: "I'm from United States Agent. You are now active." Josh has been paid for a job that he now must do... a job that will turn out to be a growing horror for him, for his family, and possibly for all of us.
Nobody's Perfectby Donald E. Westlake
An art collector hires Dortmunder to steal one of his own paintingsIt would take a miracle to keep Dortmunder out of jail. Though he cased the electronics store perfectly, the cops surprised him, turning up in the alley just as he was walking out the back door, a television in each hand. Already a two-time loser, without divine intervention he faces a long stretch inside. Then God sends J. Radcliffe Stonewiler, a celebrity lawyer who gets Dortmunder off with hardly any effort at all. Stonewiler was sent by Arnold Chauncey, an art lover with a cash flow problem. He asks the thief to break into his house and make off with a valuable painting in exchange for a quarter of the insurance money. Chauncey has pulled the stunt twice before, so it must look real. He'll give Dortmunder no inside help--a shame since, when this caper spins out of control, he'll need all the help he can get.
Put a Lid on Itby Donald E. Westlake
Francis Xavier Meehan (Meehan to his friends, "Halt!" to the cops) has ten thousand rules to live by, but only one way to make a living: stealing. Then a man in a checked jacket from Washington comes to meet Meehan in the Manhattan Correctional Center with an offer Meehan cannot refuse. For somewhere out there is an October Surprise that may dethrone the sitting president of the United States. The Washington man wants Meehan to steal the incriminating evidence and keep the president's secret in the dark. What Meehan gets out of the deal is his freedom - and maybe a little something on the side. What the president gets is another term in the White House - instead of one in jail. Yet on the plane ride down to meet more guys from Washington (but with better suits), the well-thought-out plan begins to unravel. The problem Meehan faces is that no one in Washington can keep a lip buttoned - and a bunch of politicos, spies, and thugs are leaking trouble his way. Suddenly it seems that Meehan's mission is about to go the way of Watergate. There's only one difference: This time they chose the right guy for the job. Hail to the thief!
The Road to Ruinby Donald E. Westlake
An infamous gang of wayward thieves, led by the unlucky and unflagging John Dortmunder, has hatched another perfect plan. They'll dress up as a personal secretary, a driver, and a butler, and go to work for a very rich-and very crooked-man, and rob him blind. The con is on! The mark is Monroe Hall, a very corrupt CEO. The loot? A fleet of vintage automobiles that would leave the Sultan of Brunei blushing. The catch? Trying to outsmart a collection of angry union men who've been taken for a ride and blue-blooded suckers who've been taken for their family fortunes.
Smokeby Donald E. Westlake
Due to a foiled burglary in a high-tech lab doing research for cigarette manufacturers, Freddie Noon, the thief, is now invisible. This condition has clear-cut advantages for a man in Freddie's profession, but now everybody wants a glimpse of Freddie. But Freddie doesn't dare show his face, his shadow, anything. Because Freddie Noon has gotten a taste of invisibility--and he can't quit now.
Somebody Owes Me Moneyby Donald E. Westlake
SOMETIMES WINNING FEELS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE LOSING.Cab driver Chet Conway was hoping for a good tip from his latest fare, the sort he could spend. But what he got was a tip on a horse race. Which might have turned out okay, except that when he went to collect his winnings Chet found his bookie lying dead on the living room floor. Chet knows he had nothing to do with it - but just try explaining that to the cops, to the two rival criminal gangs who each think Chet's working for the other, and to the dead man's beautiful sister, who has flown in from Las Vegas to avenge her brother's murder...
Thieves' Dozenby Donald E. Westlake
On a literary landscape filled with cunning criminal masterminds, Donald E. Westlake's John Dortmunder is in a league of his own. With no scam too outrageous to contemplate, and no plan too simple to go wrong, this quirky career thief has stolen everything from money buried under a reservoir to a bank-the whole bank. Now the ultimate repeat offender returns in a first-time collection of short stories that prove that just like bagels and donuts, with Dortmunder it's always better by the dozen ... Thieves' Dozen
Watch Your Back!by Donald E. Westlake
Dortmunder's old friend and trusted fence Arnie Albright is onto the score of a lifetime: easy access to one of the most lavish apartments in New York. The owner had to skip town, leaving behind a horde of valuables. But when John, Arnie, and the gang round up to plan the heist, they find their beloved gin joint-the OJ-in the mob's clutches. The Mafia plan to use it as a "bustout joint," before closing up shop, courtesy some arson. For tactical reasons, the fate of the OJ is even more important to the crew than the enormous score. Dortmunder and crew are determined to split time, fighting the mob and robbing the rich simultaneously.
What's So Funny?by Donald E. Westlake
In his classic caper novels, Donald E. Westlake turns the world of crime and criminals upside down. The bad get better, the good slide a bit, and Lord help anyone caught between a thief named John Dortmunder and the current object of his intentions. Now Westlake's seasoned but often scoreless crook must take on an impossible crime, one he doesn't want and doesn't believe in. But a little blackmail goes a long way in... WHAT'S SO FUNNY? All it takes is a few underhanded moves by a tough ex-cop named Eppick to pull Dortmunder into a game he never wanted to play. With no choice, he musters his always-game gang and they set out on a perilous treasure hunt for a long-lost gold and jewel-studded chess set once intended as a birthday gift for the last Romanov czar, which unfortunately reached Russia after that party was over. From the moment Dortmunder reaches for his first pawn, he faces insurmountable odds. The purloined past of this precious set is destined to confound any strategy he finds on the board. Success is not inevitable with John Dortmunder leading the attack, but he's nothing if not persistent, and some gambit or other might just stumble into a winning move.
What's the Worst That Could Happen?by Donald E. Westlake
It started with a ring. A cheap ring. The yellow metal said brass, not gold, and the sparkly bits were certainly not diamonds. But the ring belonged to May's horseplaying uncle, who swore it brought good luck. Dortmunder, who wouldn't kick a little good luck out of bed, puts it to the test when he goes to burglarize Long Island billionaire Max Fairbanks. As luck would have it, Dortmunder is greeted by Fairbanks himself - and a loaded gun - as soon as he strolls through the door. When the cops arrive, the mogul adds insult to injury by claiming that Dortmunder's lucky ring is actually his. Big mistake, big guy. As soon as Dortmunder can give the cops the slip, the world's most single-minded burglar goes after the fat cat with a vengeance and a team of crooks that only he can assemble. And from the get go everything will go Dortmunder's way - everything, that is, except the ring.

Calzaghe Backs Cleverly To Make Things Right at Cruiser
By Edward Chaykovsky
UK legend Joe Calzaghe feels Nathan Cleverly will get right back in the mix when he moves up to the cruiserweight division against Australia's Daniel Ammann on November 30 in a challenge for the vacant Commonwealth cruiserweight title. Cleverly is looking to bounce back after suffering the first loss of his career, a TKO defeat to Sergey Kovalev in August. Calzaghe is confident that Cleverly will learn from the loss to Kovalev and look better when he moves up the much heavier weight, a 25-pound leap. Cleverly will have to put on the pounds to compete with fighters who will come in at over 200-pounds on fight night.
'He's a big lad,' said Calzaghe to Daily Mail. 'He did say he felt quite weak making the weight and didn't know how long he'd be at that weight for. But there's a big gap (25lbs) between the weights so he'll have to fill out. I was at the (Kovalev) fight. It was disappointing. Maybe in hindsight he shouldn't have took the fight, you know, but he's young, he's still learning. It's harsh, he's frustrated, he knows he didn't turn up on the night and fight the way he should have boxed. That's boxing, I suppose.'
'The sign of a champion is how you get back in the game and learn from your mistakes and go from there, you know. Of course he should carry on, he had one loss, he was a world champion at a young age, is an exciting fighter and is still improving. It's one loss. He's going to be despondent, he just lost but he's obviously got heart. He wants to come back and improve from that, and be champion again. I think he'll improve and learn what he should be doing to improve his game.'

My research interests are primarily in the areas of strategic narratives, German, European and global security issues and European integration.
I've published a number of books including, Strategic Narratives: Communication Power and the New World Order, New York: Routledge, 2013 (with Ben O'Loughlin and Laura Roselle) which was awarded the 2016 Best Book Award by the International Communication Section of the International Studies Association; The Politics of the New Germany 2nd Edition, London, Routledge (2011) (with Simon Green and Dan Hough); The Gathering Crisis: Germany and the Grand Coalition since 2005, Palgrave, Basingstoke (2008) (with William E Paterson and James Sloam) and Germany and the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, Basingstoke, Palgrave, Basingstoke (2007). I am also co-editing a volume with Ben O'Loughlin and Laura Roselle Forging the World: Strategic Narratives in International Relations, which will appear with the University of Michigan Press in 2016.
Within PIR I serve as Co-Director, alongside Dr James Sloam, of the department's Centre for European Politics. Between 2002-2010 I was Director of European Studies and I served as Director of Graduate Studies from 2010-2012.
I serve on the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study of German Politics (2014-).
I am External Examiner at the University of Edinburgh. I have held external examining positions at Birkbeck, the British University in Egypt, Kings College London, Loughborough University and Surrey.
I currently supervise one PhD student, Luuk Molthof working on German European Policy.

Somebody has remixed the Game Of Thrones theme to include goats, because that's just what the internet does. That somebody is Marca Blanca who has now given us something possibly even more disturbing than last season's "Red Wedding" episode, which I didn't even think that was possible.
I'm done for today, internet. You win.

And just in case goats aren't your thing, there's also the far more adorable version with kittens by Pet Collective. Damn, that Kitten Khaleesi is the cutest.

Re: Nicoleta-Catalina Dascalu
So close to a big win here Even in the second set she had BP in the last game to force another TB. Playing some good tennis but again so much energy spend on tantrums, screaming and cursing when the ball bounces funny or shouting to her coach... at one point she even screamed "LAS-O" (yes, in romanian!) to Martincova who wanted to clear a ball from her side after an out first serve

She really needs to get better at serving out sets and matches. Never stopped fighting until the bitter the end here, but that third set should not have gone to a TB

About Us
|DirectAthletics was founded in 2000 by three members of the Tufts track & field team. Since then our mission has been to streamline sports event registration, automate the collection and management of sports data, and build a comprehensive database of rankings and athlete performances.
|Jason Kronstat Cofounder | President and CTO
|Jason is originally from Guilford, Connecticut, where he was his high school cross country team's captain and webmaster. At Tufts he and Adam Buggia won the Montle Prize for Entrepreneurial Achievement for the business plan of what would become DirectAthletics. In his spare time Jason enjoys running, biking and eating in Brooklyn, NY. He has a B.S. from Tufts University in Computer Science.
|Dave Stelnik Cofounder | Chief Executive Officer
|Dave grew up in South Florida, where he fell in love with running in middle school. After a stint working on Wall Street, he followed his passion and joined Tufts teammate Jason in founding DirectAthletics. If he's not talking to coaches and meet directors, he can probably be found running, kayaking, travelling, or rooting for his doomed Miami Dolphins. He has a B.A. from Tufts University and MBA from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
|Dustin Rommel Account Manager
|Dustin is originally from Denver, Co. When he is not providing outstanding customer service to DirectAthletics customers he enjoys pastimes like running, biking, and alpine skiing. Dustin comes to DirectAthletics after spending the last 4 years coaching at the various NCAA levels. Dustin has a B.A. from Western State College of Colorado and a M.S. in Sport Administration from the University of Northern Colorado.
|Dylan Karten Software Engineer
|Dylan grew up in Millbrook, NY before moving to New York City to attend NYU. After catching the running bug halfway through high school, he went on to enjoy a successful running career at NYU, serving as team captain and earning All-America honors in cross country. A lifelong interest in technology and a passion for the sport have led him to develop software at DirectAthletics. When he is not busy writing cool new features for MeetPro, he's usually running or cooking up a tasty post-workout meal. Dylan holds a B.A. in Economics & Mathematics and a M.S. in Mathematics, both from NYU.
Software Engineer DirectAthletics is a leader in endurance sports technology, with over a decade of experience working with customers like the NCAA, ESPN Wide World of Sports, and most major college sports conferences. We streamline meet registration for over 5,000 events a year, and provide data management solutions for some of the biggest sports organizations in North America.
We're seeking an experienced software engineer looking to play an integral role in our growing web development team.
Our engineers create websites and apps that facilitate data collection and event management for timed sports (track & field, cross country, swimming & diving, road racing). Our products include the official results database for college track & field and cross country (TFRRS.org), the leading online entry platform for track & field, swimming & diving, and cross country (DirectAthletics.com) and a state of the art meet management application (tfmeetpro.com).
Familiarity with what we do is a big plus! This is a great opportunity for an athlete (current or former) who loves their sport. All are welcome to apply.
This is a full-time position in New York City. Email inquiries to email@example.com.

LOUISVILLE - There was no doubt in the mind of Devyn Noe.
CAMPBELLSVILLE - The North Bullitt Eagles may have waited an extra day to get the football season started but it was well worth it.
CRESTWOOD - A bevy of early mistakes were more than the Bullitt Central Cougars could overcome on Friday as the maroon and gray dropped a 32-15 decision to fellow Class 5-A rival South Oldham.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 5 reports the following roadwork scheduled for the week of August 22:
Bullitt County:
HUNTERS HOLLOW - The individuals involved in a recent ditchwork dispute will trickle down to Becknell Hall Tuesday evening for a special meeting.
The discussion will center around recent work on a blue line stream that flows through the cities of Hillview, Hunters Hollow, Pioneer Village and Fox Chase.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Wine and bourbon probably sounds like an odd combination to most, but if you ask those in Bullitt County's wine and spirit industry they'll tell you it's a perfect partnership.
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the world famous Jim Beam Distillery, Brooks Hill winery, Forest Edge winery, MillaNova winery and Wight Meyer vineyard and winery, Bullitt County presents its newest tourist attraction: The Wine and Bourbon Tour of Bullitt County.
PIONEER VILLAGE - It's one thing to make enough people happy to win an election; Making everyone happy after that is entirely different.

Employment in large counties, March 2010–March 2011
October 04, 2011
From March 2010 to March 2011, employment increased in all of the 10 largest U.S. counties. Harris, Texas (part of the Houston metropolitan area), experienced the largest percentage gain in employment (2.3 percent) over the 1-year period, and Los Angeles, California, and Cook, Illinois (part of the Chicago metropolitan area), had the two smallest percentage gains in employment.
The five counties with the largest increases in employment level were Harris, Texas; New York, New York; Los Angeles, California; Orange, California; and Dallas, Texas. These counties had a combined over-the-year gain of 178,700, or 11.0 percent of the employment increase for the United States.
These data are from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. The data are preliminary and subject to revision; they are for all workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance programs.

An increase in water rates set to take effect this summer in Puerto Rico could be as much 40 percent, the president of state-owned utility AAA said Monday.
The average AAA household customer, who consumes 15,000 liters (4,000 gallons) of water monthly, could see his or her bill increase from $29 to $50, Alberto Lazaro told WQAQ radio.
He said a process is underway to provide the public with better information about the rate hike and give notice that the increase will probably take effect next July.
He explained that the measure is necessary to deal with the AAA's $350 million deficit and because of the inability of the island's cash-strapped government to help.
Lazaro also said that Puerto Rican lawmakers should review the fixed rate applied to customers in public housing, which he blamed for encouraging waste.
The announcement of the possible escalation of water rates has set off a controversy, coming as it does on the heels of a 13 percent hike in electric rates for the next three months.
PNP opposition legislator Antonio Soto asked Monday in a communique to lawmakers of the ruling PPD to call off the water-rate increase.
He called it incomprehensible that with just one month in office, Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla wants to boost utility rates.
Garcia Padilla has said he will do everything possible to lower the price of water and described as irresponsible the measures taken over the past few years by the boards of directors of the AAA and state electric company AEE.
The governor says the AAA and AEE lowered rates artificially before the Nov. 6 election to favor the image of then-Gov. Luis Fortuño of PNP. EFE

Merry Boxing Day!
Chuck Pagano came back on Monday, as an early Christmas present to every Colts fan in (and outside) America. Yesterday, Pagano addressed the press at the Union Federal Football Center, as reported by colts.com's Craig Kelley.
"You just watch this team play week in and week out. They have no quit in them," said Pagano. "I look at the job Bruce Arians did and the rest of this staff. To every player, new and old and everybody who walked through that door, it was next man up. They just found ways to get things done. By what they did on the field, they were an inspiration to me, my family and everybody else in this community, the fans in the city. They brought hope to everybody."
The Colts, according to Football Outsiders (a great site, by the way), reports that the Colts (to this point) should have about 5 wins, and are the 28th best team in the league. This is less farfetched than you'd think, especially given their performance against Kansas City (ranked dead last, appropriately).

All a musician can do is get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.
~ John Coltrane
Now Playing
Lately, I've been taking some time to listen to every note I could find that lead me to this point in time. Over the past 30+ years it has been a great honor to perform with some of the most extraordinary musicians on the planet. I've experienced some truly remarkable sessions; moments that were challenging, unpredictable, yet utterly sublime. I'd love to share those moments with you. Stop by the Marketplace and see what's new.
Latest Project
Coming Forth by Day is an homage dedicated to the beauty, power, and genius of Billie Holiday and a vehicle for the re-emergence of her songbook in the 21st century. Inspired by the Kemetic texts that give guidance through the afterlife, Coming Forth By Day sheds new light on iconic songs associated with this incomparable, charismatic, and revolutionary tone master. Produced by Ojah Media Group and distributed by Sony Legacy.
Best Seat in the House
This spring, I'm delighted to perform for three very special venues: Capetown International Jazz Festival on April 2, Ireland Rising: Words and Music for a New Century on April 22, and SFJAZZ on May 19-22.
I'll also be reunited with Harriet Tubman in Liege, Belgium on May 10 and at Moers Festival on May 14. Yes, The Red Guitar returns.

Hot August Night
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Hot August Night
|Live album by Neil Diamond
|December 9, 1972
|August 24, 1972
|Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, California
|Tom Catalano
|Neil Diamond chronology
|Singles from Hot August Night
Hot August Night is a 1972 live double album by Neil Diamond[1] ("Hot August night" is also the opening lyric to Diamond's 1969 single "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show"). The album is a recording of a Diamond concert on August 24, 1972, one of ten sold-out concerts that Diamond performed that month at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. This also marks the first album released by the newly formed MCA Records (a merging of the Uni, Kapp, and Decca labels).[2]
This album, and its predecessor album Moods, are generally acknowledged to be the two most important recording projects of Diamond's career in terms of defining his signature sound, and in the case of Hot August Night his live performance style, for the future.[citation needed]
Diamond later released two live "sequel" albums, Hot August Night II (1987) and Hot August Night/NYC (2009).
Australian reception[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (April 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The album has become a great success for Diamond, and in Australia, it spent 29 weeks at number 1 on the album charts during 1973 and 1974. In 2003, Delta Goodrem with her Sony BMG-based album Innocent Eyes, also achieved number 1 on the Australian album chart for 29 weeks, thereby tying her with Neil Diamond.
It was the number one charting album in Australia for the 1970s, entering the Australian album charts in late 1972 and was still charting in the top 20 in 1976. It re-entered the Australian top 10 in 1982.
Critical reception[edit]
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
|Robert Christgau
|The Rolling Stone Album Guide
In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, music critic Lester Bangs called Hot August Night a "fine presentation of the entire spectrum" of Diamond's work and praised its music as "great, pretentious, goofy pop" with a melodramatic, "hymn-like feeling".[6] In his review for Creem, Robert Christgau panned the album as a failed attempt at "bad art", and found Diamond's humor "sententious" and his country-western songs tasteless.[4]
In a retrospective review, Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Hot August Night "the ultimate Neil Diamond record ... [which] shows Diamond the icon in full glory."[3] Rob Sheffield, writing in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), dubbed the album "the triumph of Neilness" and said that its music is slightly more "lax" than his studio recordings, but "festive".[5]

Web Developer, Software Engineer, and Volunteer in Muscat, Oman
I'm in this business because I find it interesting and challenging. As a consultant or as a programmer, I like to be involved early on in a project; I think most projects succeed or fail early on, during the requirements and technical design stages, and so I like to be involved there. But I can pick up the ball and run with it at any stage, bringing a customer-focused, pragmatic approach while keeping true to the fundamental engineering principles which must underlie any successful system.
Primarily, I design and build software systems. But to me, a good engineer isn't hidden in the back corner of the basement office, coding to the green glow of a monochrome monitor.

Arthur Sze to give Boudreaux Reading Thursday at UWM

Kaskade, fans relish rare, intimate DJ set at Oak Lounge
DJ Kaskade probably could have sold out the Rave's 3,500-person-capacity Eagles Ballroom Friday. Instead, he played the intimate Oak Lounge for a couple hundred people.
It was the last stop of the Redux tour, a 12-show run that took the electronic dance music star to tiny clubs — and cities like Milwaukee and El Paso, Texas, instead of Chicago, New York or Los Angeles. Kaskade has said the tour was intended to recapture the vibe of his club gigs 10 years ago, before his mega-popularity, "when it was all about the music." »Read Full Article
Skylight Music Theatre shows why 'Hair' is still vital
Here's what's truly obscene: Nearly 50 years after the revolution called "Hair," we still struggle with its chaste nude scene — even as we casually absorb nightly images of dead bodies from the world's killing fields.
That's why "Hair" remains vitally relevant, as is clearer than ever in Skylight Music Theatre's stirring production, which opened Friday under the direction of Ray Jivoff (stage) and Viswa Subbaraman (music). Much as I liked the touring version of the Broadway revival that stopped here in 2011, this "Hair" is even better. »Read Full Article(2)
Rodriguez returns from obscurity with sold-out show
Neglected genius, comeback kid, amiable relic: the 71-year-old singer-songwriter onstage at the Riverside Theater Friday night embodied all those personae.
Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, known by fans simply as Rodriguez, had been an erased footnote in the United States, even in his home city of Detroit. Unknown to him, his music had become wildly popular in South Africa, and the 2008 and 2009 reissues of his two LPs — 1970's "Cold Fact" and 1971's "Coming From Reality" — and the award-festooned 2012 documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" made powerful arguments against his obscurity. »Read Full Article

Hong Kong has no shortage of places to eat out, but quite a few close only a short while after opening, the victims of high rents (inevitable in a city where space is extremely tight) and stiff competition. The Italian restaurants we have chosen have stood the test of time – and taste buds. It's significant that many Italian chefs have left their native country to bring their culinary magic to Hong Kong, capitalizing on the city's delight in really top-notch food and enjoyment of cosmopolitan cuisines. Another great thing about eating Italian in Hong Kong – it's easy to get around and many restaurants are reasonably close to each other. We share the places that get great buzz, like Va Bene, and we showcase the ones that have proven themselves over time, like Linguini Fini. Depending on where you choose, prices can be quite steep, or very reasonable, but wherever you dine you'll always be getting the best bang for your buck.

The décor - styled by award-winning New York designer Tony Chi - is crafty, yet sensible, with mustard and blue being the predominant colors. The artichoke appetizers are extremely popular, as are the veal dishes and the capellini al granchio. Two especially nice touches: the signature bread basket of home-baked grissini and herbed flatbread served with tomato and onion salad, olive oil and balsamico vinegar, and the home-made Italian biscotti served with freshly brewed Italian coffee. Reservations are strongly suggested. MTR: Central. (852-2845-5577)

Hong Kong is not lacking when it comes to restaurants with a view, so a place needs to be truly exceptional in some other way to distinguish itself from the pack. Isola's floor-to-ceiling windows and huge outdoor terrace do indeed offer stunning panoramas, and its tastefully monochromatic décor is stylish and clean. But its food is stellar from appetizer to dessert. Start with baked mozzarella in walnut bread with sweet cherry tomatoes, a layering of flavors and textures that is simply brilliant. Main course dishes are just as impressive – grilled sirloin with red onion and anchovy sauce, and salt-crusted sea bass, in particular, stand out. The clientele here tends to be trendy and well-coiffed; reservations are strongly encouraged. (852-2383-8765)

Today the day to 'button up'STAFF REPORT | October 05,2013MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin has declared today "Button Up" day in Vermont.
It's meant to help Vermonters take actions that will lower their energy bills this winter and reduce their contribution to climate change, according to a news release.
Modeled after Vermont's successful Green Up Day, this event will be the first grass-roots day of action on weatherization in Vermont. The day, which is being spearheaded by the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network, is aimed at mobilizing as many volunteers as possible throughout the state to take steps — large and small — to help Vermonters stop wasting energy and become more energy independent.
"Every year, many Vermont homeowners waste hard-earned dollars because their homes are inefficient and leaky," said network coordinator Johanna Miller in the release.
"Button Up Vermont Day of Action is intended to be a fun, collaborative, community-driven effort to arm more people with the information, incentives and path they need to stop wasting energy and start saving money."
More than 30 communities have signed up to participate, including Barre, Montpelier and Randolph.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...
