Family of missing man asks for public's help
A catalog of objects found in the woods/Dan Schneider
Wrapper, Snickers bar
Plastic bottle, 16.9-ounce size, A & W Root Beer
Paper, unidentifiable
Paper grocery bag, faded to an ash-gray color
Aluminum can, Old Milwaukee, crushed, torn into two pieces
Rope, half-inch thick, its colors: black, yellow, red and white
I went for a walk in the woods recently with my dog, a standard plastic grocery bag, and an intention to pick up any objects found along the way. We walked a short stretch of old railroad grade and the access trail that connects it to town. I began collecting objects on the way to the trail, about 50 yards before we left the pavement.
Plastic bottle, unknown origin, covered with gray paint
Fitted Sheet, burgundy in color (this I left behind, to collect later with my pickup truck)
Wrapper, Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar
Tie-down strap, black rubber, one metal hook missing
Label from the back side of a bottle of Bell's Two Hearted Ale, a beer that is, according to the brewing company's marketing department, "well suited for Hemingway-esque adventurous trips to the Upper Peninsula"
Sometimes, stepping off the trail to retrieve an object, I would spot other objects, deeper in the woods. In this way I found the cardboard carrier from a six pack of Two Hearted Ale (bottles), an empty 23 fluid-ounce aluminum can (Arizona Iced Tea with Raspberry Flavor), and the rusting carcass of a walk-behind lawnmower (which I also left for later retrieval).
Wrapper, Tootsie Roll Frooties, passion fruit (artificial) flavor
Two foil pouches, empty, Mike's Hard Black Cherry Lemonade FROZEN
Wrapper, Snickers mini candy bar
Paper, unknown origin
Foil liner (from a cigarette pack?), crushed
At the place where the access trail met the railroad grade there was a mingling of objects: those left behind by people passing by on the grade and those left by people coming or going on the access trail. They were scattered in the tall grass and among the trunks of young birch trees . . .
Inflatable swimming ring, sky blue vinyl, broken into fragments
Plastic bottle, two-liter size, "Keg Style" caffeine free root beer
Plastic bottle, quart size, Gatorade Performance Series 2 Thirst Quencher
Paper with felt attached, unidentifiable
Red plastic straw
Recent experiences have caused me to begin looking at objects as artifacts. And to be open to a variety of interpretations about what objects are, how they came to be in their place in the landscape, and why they are significant.
Foil wrapper, Sun Belt blueberry Fruit & Grain granola bar
Plastic bottle, half-gallon size, Gatorade (no label attached, identified by the lightning bolt molded into the plastic)
Plastic bottle, two-liter size, Coca Cola Classic
Plastic sandwich bag
Aluminum can, Labatt Blue Light
I filled the plastic grocery bag in a scant third of a mile of walking. A light rain began falling from the sky as I laid the objects out on the ground next to the dumpster to catalog and describe them in my notebook.
Plastic tub, 16-oz size (by weight), Great Value Light Whipped Topping ("50 percent less fat than average whipped topping!")
Aluminum can, Our Family brand lemon lime soda
Cardboard cigarette pack in plastic outer wrapping (assumed to be Reds, but the markings had faded)
Aluminum can, 16-ounce size, Monster energy drink
Paper plate
Plastic Dart coffee cup lid

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: DOW APD MWE BERY FFIV REGN
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Tuesday:
Cramer said that a recent upgrade for Dow Chemical (DOW) was positive news for the chemical giant. He said that Air Products (APD) has been a horrible stock as of late but may be a play in a recovering global economy.
Cramer sounded off against MarkWest Energy (MWE) saying that MLPs like MarkWest keep issuing more equity and "no one wants to see that." He was more upbeat on Berry Plastics (BERY) , however, calling the stock a "sleeper."
When asked about F5 Networks (FFIV) , Cramer said that this stock has been terrible, but he's been hearing positive things about the company recently. Finally, Cramer said that Regeneron (REGN) should be put in the same league as Celgene (CELG) and Gilead Sciences (GILD) , two hot biotechs on the move.

Heard on the radio here in SC (where radio is automatically better because Chuck Booms isn't on here and the chicks all have a southern drawl) that Jamie Moyer has pitched to 8% of all the batters in the major leagues.
Ever. 8% of all batters who have played MLB.
Pretty amazing that he's still throwing. His first start was against Steve Carlton in 1986. Carlton is now 67 years old.
Moyer couldn't break a window when he was young and strong. His career is really incredible all things considered.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
If you gain more than the recommended amount during pregnancy and you don't lose the weight after the baby is born, the excess pounds increase your lifelong health risks. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy can also increase your baby's risk of health problems at birth and childhood obesity.
Let's say your baby weighs in at 7 or 8 pounds (about 3 to 3.6 kilograms). That accounts for some of your pregnancy weight gain. What about the rest? Here's a sample breakdown:
In the first trimester, most women don't need to gain much weight — which is good news if you're struggling with morning sickness.
If you start out at a healthy or normal weight, you need to gain only a few pounds (less than 2 kilograms) in the first few months of pregnancy. You can do this with an extra 150 to 200 calories a day, about the amount in 6 ounces (170 grams) of low-fat fruit yogurt.
Steady weight gain is more important in the second and third trimesters — especially if you start out at a healthy weight or you're underweight. This often means gaining 3 to 4 pounds (about 1.4 to 1.8 kilograms) a month until delivery. An extra 300 calories a day — half of a sandwich and a glass of skim milk — might be enough to help you meet this goal. If you began your pregnancy underweight, your health care provider might review your diet and physical activity level to make sure you meet weight-gain recommendations.
It would be easy to add calories to your diet with junk food, but this won't give your baby the nutrients he or she needs. It's more important to avoid overeating and make nutrient-rich choices. Consider these suggestions:
Your health care provider will keep a close eye on your weight. Do your part by eating a healthy diet and keeping your prenatal appointments. To keep your pregnancy weight gain on target, your health care provider might offer suggestions for boosting calories or scaling back as needed.

Even though Apple has done a tremendous amount of work to make a lot of people aware of Apple iPad, only about 18% of all consumers are actually interested in buying one, according to market research company NPD Group.
According to a report by NPD, the awareness about Apple iPad is highest among current Apple owners (82%), consumers with $100 thousand or greater income (80%), and 18-34 year olds (78%). Those demographic groups are the ones with the most interest in buying an iPad. Meanwhile, only 18% of all consumers surveyed expressed a real interest in owning an iPad, while 27% percent of 18-34 year olds and 24% of Apple owners said they were extremely or very interested.
One of the main reasons Apple owners are interested in the iPad is because it is an Apple product. 37% of those people cited "liking the Apple brand" as a top reason for their interest in the iPad. That tied with "multi-touch screen", which was also the number one reason driving interest among 18-34 year olds. The 18-34 year old consumer is also the most likely to play music and access the internet on the iPad.
"The most interested potential iPad customers see it primarily as a music device, or for its internet access capabilities. Considering what people are planning to use the iPad for, it is not hard to understand why people who have these capabilities on other devices, such as the iPod Touch or a notebook/netbook, may not want to spend $500 or more on a similar device. This points to the need for Apple to close the content deals that focus the iPad on what is likely to be its best long-range value proposition around high quality media consumption," said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis at NPD.
For some consumers, and even among Apple owners, the prospect of spending $500 or more for a new device that does not yet have a clear advantage over their other primary devices is unappetizing. Among the tech-savvy 18-34 year old demographic, 57% cited price as the number one reason they are not ready to buy, which is 25% more than the overall percentage of non-interested buyers. Among Apple owners, 43% felt that the pricing was too high. But it is not the price tag alone that is making the iPad seem too expensive to these non-interested buyers, according to NPD. The other factor is that they are equating the iPad to a notebook or netbook replacement. Among 18-34 year olds and current Apple product owners "rather use a notebook or netbook instead" was cited by 51% and 44%, respectively of those demographics as a reason not to buy.
Even those key demographics who expressed the most interest in the iPad are not making a strong commitment to purchase an iPad in the near future and that mirrors what overall consumers are saying. When asked what the likelihood of purchasing an iPad in the next six months was, 9% of all consumers surveyed said they were "extremely or very likely" to do so, as did 10% of 18-34 years olds and 9% of Apple owners. But there were a greater number of consumers who were "not very likely" or "not likely at all" to purchase an iPad in the next six months. 66% of both the all consumers surveyed and 18-34 year olds don't foresee an iPad purchase in their future, and 60% of Apple owners felt the same way.
Approximately 2000 consumers age 18 and older from NPD's online panel participated in this survey from February 24 through March 3, 2010.

1. NRF Foundation and American Express Announce Winners of Fifth Annual Intercollegiate Retail Challenge
2. E-commerce: 2013 slated to be the biggest e-commerce year in history.
NRF Foundation and American Express Announce Winners of Fifth Annual Intercollegiate Retail Challenge
|-Six Students from Around the Country Win $2,500
Washington, January 3, 2013 – The NRF Foundation and American Express today announced the winners of their annual Aspire2Retail Intercollegiate Challenge, which is designed to increase understanding of diverse career paths in retail by engaging university students in a competitive, collaborative role play that involves implementing a multi-tiered business strategy.
This year, the challenge required students to describe all aspects of showrooming and outline the threats and opportunities that come with it. Showrooming is described as the practice of shoppers comparing retailers' store prices to other companies' online prices and choosing to purchase the item online from a different company. The students had to collaborate on a comprehensive marketing strategy, aimed at addressing showrooming and were instructed to propose customer service practices that enhance loyalty and maximize the use of the latest technological advancements. A financial, merchandising, and retail operations plan also had to be produced to complete and pass the challenge.
"Retailers have to move fast to keep pace with customers' demands, and every business unit – from marketing to merchandising to IT – plays a huge role in addressing showrooming behavior," said NRF Foundation Executive Director Ellen Davis. "This year's challenge was a real example of something that retail companies are dealing with every day. We are thrilled to honor the winning team for their work and dedication to this project, and look forward to seeing each student grow in their academics and professional careers in retail."
Jerry O'Brien, director of Kohl's Department Stores Center for Retailing Excellence at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, led this year's winning team. The students who made up the winning team include:
• Hillary Haskins, Florida State University
• Reannah Haselden, Georgia Southern University
• Narisa Montero, University of Arizona
• Sabrina Occiur, University of Florida
• Panama Marquand, University of Michigan
• Nicole VanDyke, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Each student will receive an educational scholarship worth $2,500 thanks to generous contributions from Sears Holdings Corporation, Macy's, and Toys"R"Us, Inc. The winning students also receive complimentary registration to Retail's BIG Show in New York City, where they will present their award-winning business plan to attendees on Monday, January 14 at 3:15 p.m. during the session, "Showrooming: An Opportunity or a Threat?"
The program, established in 2006, pairs students from six retail programs across the country together to solve a business-case scenario. Each student selects a different business discipline, and is mentored by a retail executive in that field. Students then present their solution to a panel of judges, who scored the presentations on creativity, relevance, and understanding of the challenge topic.
Participating retailer and industry experts that were involved in mentoring and judging the student presentations include:
• Cheryl Berinato, Macy's, Inc.
• Ellen Davis, NRF Foundation
• Derek Lounsbury, Toys"R"Us, Inc.
• Thomas McCurtain, Sears Holdings Corporation
• Herman Nell, Petco
• Kristen Sanders, The Container Store
• Lori Schafer, SAS
• Omar Segura, Sears Holdings Corporation
• Kacey Sharrett, Toys"R"Us, Inc.
• Lydia Schulz, American Express Company
• Vito Spano, Dick's Sporting Goods
• Mark Williams, Best Buy

Joe Morgan (former ESPN Sunday Night Baseball announcer): Sunday Night Baseball didn't launch until 1990, so I didn't see all that much of Cleveland until they got some attention down the stretch in '89. I remember thinking how Charlie Donovan got a lot of mileage out of what he had. You know, for all the talk about Billy Beane and the guys he brought to Oakland by using computers and the stat guys, Charlie was probably the first general manager to identify those "value" players. I guess the only difference between Charlie and Billy is that Charlie never wrote a book about himself to tell everybody about it.

Before California Senate GOP candidate Carly Fiorina's hair flub is forgotten entirely, it's worth noting local journalism's connection to it.
Fiorina made her catty remarks about Sen. Barbara Boxer's hair being "soooo yesterday" as she was sitting in a television studio in Los Angeles waiting to be interviewed by KXTV News 10, the ABC affiliate in Sacramento.
Her remarks about Boxer's hair and Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's questionable judgment in deciding to do her first post primary interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, came as the satellite feed started flowing to News 10 which had the opportunity to air it or not.
KXTV was maybe the only television station on the planet that decided not to air the candidates flub.
When interviewed by the New York Times, News 10's vice president and news director Tim Geraghty said "We had a vigorous editorial debate. ...To put on a clip of an interview with someone talking about someone else's hair did not fit with that brand we are trying to establish for News 10 in Northern California." The full story is here.
And what brand would that be? Bland? Staid? Boring? Predictable?
I couldn't find the interview that News 10 eventually aired with Fiorina on its website, but I've been watching canned TV interviews with political candidates - yes, I've even conducted a few - long enough to imagine what it was like - some mind numbingly boring recital of her stump speech - the same 50 words she gives to every new organization, re-arranged slightly for each.
In that two minutes of unscripted drivel about Boxer's hair and Whitman's judgment, the public learned more about the real Fiorina than anything that came out of any formal interview that eventually aired on Channel 10 or anywhere else - I can guarantee it.

Astana Pro Team are a Kazakh professional cycling team named after their capital city, sponsored by Samruk-Kazyna.
Considerably new to the cycling world, the Astana Pro Team was first inaugurated in 2006 and was known as the Liberty Seguros-Würth team. In the aftermath of a doping scandal, the team decided it was time for a refresh, and a re-brand, it was then the Astana Pro Team was born.
Astana have never been short of big names, with Lance Armstrong putting in a stint with the team in 2009. The current line up looks strong ahead of the 2014 season, with riders such as Italians Valerio Agnoli, Vincenzo and Fabio Aru. A financial crisis hit the club in May 2009, after the team announced that it had not been able to pay the riders after the Kazakh crisis. Experienced riders such as Armstrong understood and sympathised with Astana Pro Team, but many of it's younger riders were left slightly confused and alienated just days before the Giro d'Italia.

When is a linear function
and we are able to write down explicitly a linear relationship
from , then the standard Kalman filter is directly applicable.
Figure 3: Kalman filter block diagram
Figure 3 is a block diagram for the Kalman filter. At time , the system model inherently in the filter structure generates , the best prediction of the state, using the previous state estimate . The previous state covariance matrix is extrapolated to the predicted state covariance matrix . is then used to compute the Kalman gain matrix and to update the covariance matrix . The system model generates also which is the best prediction of what the measurement at time will be. The real measurement is then read in, and the measurement residual (also called innovation)
is computed. Finally, the residual is weighted by the Kalman gain matrix to generate a correction term and is added to to obtain the updated state .
The Kalman filter gives a linear, unbiased, and minimum error variance recursive algorithm to optimally estimate the unknown state of a linear dynamic system from noisy data taken at discrete real-time intervals. Without entering into the theoretical justification of the Kalman filter, for which the reader is referred to many existing books such as [8, 14], we insist here on the point that the Kalman filter yields at an optimal estimate of , optimal in the sense that the spread of the estimate-error probability density is minimized. In other words, the estimate given by the Kalman filter minimizes the following cost function
where M is an arbitrary, positive semidefinite matrix. The optimal estimate of the state vector is easily understood to be a least-squares estimate of with the properties that [4]:
By inspecting the Kalman filter equations, the behavior of the filter agrees with our intuition. First, let us look at the Kalman gain . After some matrix manipulation, we express the gain matrix in the form:
Thus, the gain matrix is ``proportional'' to the uncertainty in the estimate and ``inversely proportional'' to that in the measurement. If the measurement is very uncertain and the state estimate is relatively precise, then the residual is resulted mainly by the noise and little change in the state estimate should be made. On the other hand, if the uncertainty in the measurement is small and that in the state estimate is big, then the residual contains considerable information about errors in the state estimate and strong correction should be made to the state estimate. All these are exactly reflected in (20).
Now, let us examine the covariance matrix of the state estimate. By inverting and replacing by its explicit form (20), we obtain:
From this equation, we observe that if a measurement is very uncertain ( is big), the covariance matrix will decrease only a little if this measurement is used. That is, the measurement contributes little to reducing the estimation error. On the other hand, if a measurement is very precise ( is small), the covariance will decrease considerably. This is logic. As described in the previous paragraph, such measurement contributes considerably to reducing the estimation error. Note that Equation (21) should not be used when measurements are noise free because is not defined.

Just thinking, but has anyone seen any type of square, removable side form for either a square cake or specifically made for square pizza? They have round versions for cake (no bottom, just a metal ring which is removable).I would be interested to place a no-bottom side form on a well floured pizza peel and make a sicilian in such a form mold so the bottom would always have direct contact with the pizza stone from the second the pizza is put in the oven, helping to give maximum browning to the bottom. Not sure if it would make a difference, just thinking out loud I guess.Thanks! --PB
Pete, that is interesting about the non-stick pans and using them above 450F. I had not heard that before but I routinely use my non-stick pans at 550 and have not noticed any side effects. No odd smells or tastes, and they still perform well.


text: @Max: As I have learned from the recent discussions, ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) does the same kind of communication that you have mentioned. But I am not sure, when that system was last modernized. I understand in the aviation industry technology progresses at a slower pace as the "proven-in-use" technologies are adopted and newer stuffs goes through a lots of certification process to analysis unless the failure-modes are well defined and proper preventive & protective measures are taken. But this kinds of incidents drive us to re-think: could we improve anything?

I dread thinking of when Obama will stand with family members of victims of the Boston Marathon disaster and, with a tear in his eye and a lump in his throat, demand Congress enact legislation whereby all of us must register our pressure cookers and we must pass a background check to purchase one.
Just think of the repercussions when they discover how many gun owners also own pressure cookers to process wild game.
It boggles the mind!!!

Topic: Ajax Memory/size limits?
Hey all,
Just working on an implementation for something at work. I have a jquery lightbox that loads the response data from an ajax get request to a php file. The php file standalone and all its resources is around 400kb. When i load it into the lightbox on this particular page, it adds up to about 600kb. The php file on its own works fine, everything loads. On the ajax version, i am missing several images. On the php file, these images are created via php. The ones that arent loading are used via click events. So if i have image:
1.png on load, and then i click on the appropriate div, jquery changes it to 1_r.png. However 1_r.png has not loaded.
Any suggestions?

Protect our garbage cans
David Randall, Minot
Over the last 7 months, myself and neighbors have noticed our garbage cans being ruined by the sanitation workers on trash days. I have gone through five garbage cans already. We're not able to just leave trash bags on the curb because they blow around too much so we use the garbage can and bring them in after trash pick-up. I only have two garbage cans now and both need to be replaced. One has a huge hole on the side and the rim on the other is completely off with a hole on the side of the can as well. Just place the cans down and not slam them. I'm sick of buying them.

Yellow Medicine County looking to fill vacancies
GRANITE FALLS – The Yellow Medicine County Board decided to initiate a search for replacements for the positions of human services director and human resources coordinator/finance and administration deputy at its regular meeting on Tuesday.
The human services director position became vacant when Director Peggy Heglund was appointed county administrator. The board agreed with the recommendations of the hiring committee that the position should be posted in-house and only advertised if a suitable candidate is not found internally.
The human resources position will be advertised. Current Human Resources Coordinator Tegan Laleman has accepted a position with the Lyon County Human Resources Department. Her last day at work for Yellow Medicine County was on Tuesday.
In other business, the board voted to accept a lease agreement with Kris Wilke of Porter for use of the track at the county fairgrounds in Canby for drag racing on June 15, for a standard rental fee of $75. Since the county's insurance policy specifically excludes drag racing from coverage, Wilke is required to purchase a minimum of $1.5 million coverage for the event.
The board also approved a lease agreement for the track and facilities with Darrell Regnier for a tractor pull on July 27.
On the recommendation of County Planning and Zoning Director Randy Jacobson, the board approved two conditional use permits for confinement barns with manure pits for pigs in Posen Township.
Brothers Ben and Mike Hinz were granted a permit to build a 51-by-108 foot barn for 2,400 pigs. Dave Schwerin was granted a permit to build a 102-by-200 foot barn for 2,400 finishing hogs.
Both permits were granted on the condition all neighbors within a half-mile radius will be given 24 hours notice before pumping the pits and spreading the manure, and a screen of fast-growing trees will be planted to screen the barns from their neighbors view.
After opening 37 bids, the board accepted the lowest bids in 14 categories of work for the renovation of the former Fagen Building into new county offices.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (184 votes).
In short: Unique date for this race.Date of review: February 19, 2015
In short: cracking race to keep you good over ChristmasIn full: having missed it last year due to the weather, i last did this in 2010 when for the start you were walked out the back onto the road. Could have done with that this year as the start outside the clubhouse was very cramped and lots of people were edging between cars before passing through the start.That said, the rest of the run for me was really good. Great route and plenty of views. I had forgotten how undulating the course was, and felt the hill at mile 11....but the run down Tower lane after that was just what i needed.The finish was a little cramped though, with lots of people milling around rather than clearing the way.A reasonable goody bag and decent medal.i'll be looking to do it again next year.Date of review: January 29, 2014
In short: hillier than I remembered at the begining but good long stretches of roads without being boxed inDate of review: January 28, 2014
In short: Great race, well organised, avoidable baggage problems which won't happen again I'm sure.In full: This is the second year I've done this race (last time 2012). It was cancelled in 2013 due to the weather, but came back this year. It is a lovely well organised event, which is on undulating roads in the countryside. The main hill comes near the end, but there is a great run down to the finish...Although the race itself was well organised, there were a number of problems at the finish. Firstly, the medals were on a separate stand which I couldn't see because of crowding, and I assumed it was in the bag, so I had to return to the finish from the baggage area against the flow of traffic to get hold of one. This may have been my inattention, but I was exhausted and it would have been easier if they had been placed in bags.Secondly, the baggage was poorly organised. I was looking at an hour and a half wait to get the baggage while standing in the cold. I retreated to the clubhouse to drink tea until the line disappeared. Not immediately clear what happened, and sad to hear that the volunteers got direct abuse from some runners, but this needs looking at for future years (It didn't happen in 2012). If it had been raining it would have been an appalling day. That said, the organisers have addressed this in a follow-up email to all participants and I am reassured that it won't happen again. I have no hesitation in signing up again for 2015!Date of review: January 23, 2014
In short: Great race, organised by runners for runners! In full: Very enjoyable race, with great scenery across the Cheshire plain and well organised by volunteers. It is undulating from about mile 7 - 10, but even so, a lot of people did get PBs.I had to queue for my bags, but an explanation and apology has been given, so I'm sure that this will be resolved for next year. Date of review: January 22, 2014
In short: Great race, friendly & well runIn full: A few undulations make for a friendly country half on mostly quiet country lanes a stones throw from Chester.Date of review: January 21, 2014
In short: Fabulous race as usualIn full: Superb course, superb weather, great atmosphere amongst runners. Does seem like organisation was lacking a little bit this year, but I think people need to accept that you are running a club organised non-profit making event.Arrived early with 2 fellow runners at 9:25, just in time to park at club; so had no need to use bag drop.The start area was conjested and the first mile especially was slow, as numerous 2hr+ runners had positioned themselves in the front 30% of the field. The route was challenging as usual, especially the slow climb from miles 8 to 11, but the last downhill 2 miles are superb!I understand peoples obeservations about the finish area, and that people were hanging around; however through waiting over 10minutes for a friend to finish I can definitively say that most people were waiting outside the fenced area in very muddy grass, and not inside the finish area.Got back to the club; and could see the baggage queues - in previous years the baggage has been in the same place, and there have been no problems, so hopefully just a one off.Had a complimentary coffee and jaffa cake from the fabulous old ladies in the tea room at the back of the club, and left.Still a great race; and I have no doubt the baggage issue will be sorted for next year. I would still love water bottles rather than cups though; I needed to walk through the drink stations 3 times!Date of review: January 21, 2014
In short: Great start to the yearIn full: This race is a favourite of mine and this was the 5th time I'd done it over the last 10 years. Fantastic conditions this year and a great course as always. The start was a bit congested. I think they should assemble people on the car park before walking round to start the race from the road. I wasn't affected by the baggage drop issues myself but saw the queue. I was surprised as in previous years th baggage drop has been superb so presume this is down to a change in personel and will be sorted for next year. The park & ride is 1.6mile away which is perfect for a warm up/cool down rather than bothering with a bus.Date of review: January 21, 2014
In short: Scenic race with PB potentialIn full: This is a nice, friendly race. All those country lanes require a large force of marshalls and these were very well organised. I didn't use the bag drop so can't comment, but the finish was pretty disorganised. Likewise the start, with a large crowd of people in the car park filtering through the starting arch. It's practically impossible to position yourself according to your expected finish time. The chip timing helped but I still had to squeeze past a lot of runners in the first 3 miles. These isn't a criticism as such, but something to be aware of if every last second counts to you. Overall a good experience, though, and thanks to the organisers and the many volunteers.Date of review: January 21, 2014
In short: Excellent RaceIn full: Well organised, great course, well stocked goody bag, start the new year with a bang.Date of review: January 21, 2014

Japan no longer only country on the judo map
BEIJING (AP) The Japanese still dominate judo. They invented it, after all.
At the Beijing Games, however, judo was all over the map.
Medalists included Mongolia, which won its first ever Olympic gold, an accomplishment that sent cheering crowds to the streets of Ulan Bator. Tajikistan got its first Olympic medal, too. Georgia - getting a respite from hostilities at home - claimed a gold, and so did Italy, Romania, Germany, Azerbaijan. Ronda Rousey won the first medal for the United States since the women's judo event became official in 1992 - a bronze.
Leaving the door open for the world to rush in was the decline of Japan, which got a record eight of the 14 golds four years ago in Athens.
Japanese wrestlers came through for two golds apiece from men and women, with three reigning champions - Masato Uchishiba, Ayumi Nakamura and Masae Ueno - defeating their opponents to defend their titles. Judo legend Ryoko Tani had to settle for bronze, but Satoshi Ishii, making his Olympic debut, took the most prestigious gold, the men's heavyweight, to put Japan safely ahead of China, which won three golds, all from women.
In Japan, the judo tally is an issue of national pride.
The golds medals in Beijing were trumpeted not only across front pages, but also in extra editions of newspapers. Celebrities and past winners were brought in to do the color commentary.
Ishii said the pressure on the Japanese to produce is intense.
"I see these matches as a fight to the death," Ishii said. "Now I can return to Japan alive."
Scoring changes in the works may take a little of that pressure off.
Over the past several years, judo has evolved into two camps - those who favor a fight that goes for broke, for the match-ending "ippon" throw or pin, and the more tactical group that is focused less on sterling technique and more on winning through points.
Many critics - especially in Japan, where the ippon style is almost a cult - see the point system as a major weakness, and have pushed hard to keep the traditional judo style from becoming just another form of wrestling.
With the games' judo now safely over, the scoring system for international competitions is likely to be redone to eliminate what many feel gives Western-style wrestlers and brawlers an advantage over traditionalists.
"We aren't moving back to the more Japanese style, we are moving forward," Marius Vizer, the president of the International Judo Federation, told The Associated Press. "We are modernizing. We must make the sport more easy to understand and more exciting to watch."
Vizer said future tournaments will not give points for several wrestling takedown moves and the "koka" point category will likely be eliminated altogether.
Judo scores are complicated and there is some room for interpretation.
An ippon ends the match - and it's what everybody wants to see. It can be a stranglehold that, if not stopped, would cause suffocation, or an armlock that would break bones, or a pin from which an opponent cannot break free. But the perfect ippon is a throw that sends its victim twisting into the air, helpless, to land squarely on his - or her - back.
Most of the time, winners are decided by "waza ari," which is a near ippon, when, for example, a throw doesn't put the opponent on his back; "yuko," which is a move that was effective but not quite good enough to qualify as a waza ari; or koka, which is not quite good enough to get a yuko.
Penalties for major fouls or stalling can also cost a competitor points - or, conversely, give his opponent the win. And since Athens, any point, even on a penalty, that is scored in overtime immediately ends the bout - as world champion Teddy Riner of France learned when he crashed out of the heavyweight quarterfinals.
After Beijing, that system will be streamlined to make it easier for fans who are not thoroughly versed in the sport to understand more easily.
"We want to see beautiful judo," Vizer said.
Officials are generally behind the elimination of the koka point category.
"We believe that it's a done deal, and it is good for the sport," said USA judo CEO Jose Rodriguez. "It leads the sport into getting more flamboyant throws. I think it will boost the sport, not only Japan."
For the competitors, what changes the new scoring system will bring is still a matter of debate.
"I think this puts more importance on the role of the coach," said Tuvshinbayar Naidan, the Mongolian gold winner, who said he has also trained in Japanese sumo and in traditional Mongolian wrestling.
His coach, Bira Pagva, said the bottom line remains the same.
"The wrestler who attacks is always going to be at an advantage," Pagva said.

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Keep village where it's at
Arlene Saugstad, Minot
I'm writing this letter as a proud member (by marriage) of the family of Saugstad. When teenager Tilman Saugstad and other Iowa teenagers drove cattle up into Canada in 1901, he fell in love with the Mouse River Valley, its turf and the innocent meandering of the Mouse River. His parents, Nels and Kari, upon hearing his description of our valley loaded up their belongings and came here. Like all pioneers they turned the earth, dug wells, cut wood for warmth and settled down. Their home has been lived in by six generations. My son Craig's daughter Crystal represents the sixth generation to call this house a home. This house has stood through every flood since 1904. Which indicates the same kind of determination by its builders.
Fast forward to the 1970's- a small group of Ward County residents, including the late Stanley Saugstad, were determined to preserve and keep alive remnants of the past – their heritage, founded the Northwest Historical Society which later became and remains the Ward County Historical Society. The museum which was the first building on the Pioneer Village site was made possible by the generosity of Einer Madsen. For a long time this museum was the only Ward County Historical Society building. It still remains the holder of a showcase of "what was". For many years my children and I sat in this building behind an old Norwegian chest on a table. Viewers dropped their freewill offerings into this chest. Present day seamstresses and quilters have seen and been amazed at the miniscule sewing machine used by Kari Saugstad as she made dresses with tiny tucks and ruffles for her three daughters.
With very little cash but a huge amount of determination the Ward County Historical Society kept remnants of the past secure for the present and the future. Through the undaunted efforts of the board members, buildings appeared. Ancient farm machinery also appeared, which to the amazement of visitors actually still ran and visitors watched the shoeing of horses in a livery stable and an old time barbershop was added. For the serious, the first Ward County Courthouse was a must to visit and scan the pages of court documents to see who did what illegally. Today's visitors to our Pioneer Village can walk into a tiny pioneer home thanks to Oscar and Edna Folden, a log cabin which was a gift of the pioneer Mostad family, and the tiny rural church in which during its residence on the Pioneer Village grounds has been the scene of many "I dos" and thanks to my late husband Stanley, the Samuelson Home was moved from its longtime spot where the Milton Young Towers stand to a commanding area in the Pioneer Village. Through the years couples occupied this home and were responsible for it as well as that of the village buildings and arranged for tours, weddings and other events such as sleigh rides and making ice cream during fair week. The village has been and still will be the scene for family reunions and picnics.
My family and I share the pride of having this Ward County Historical Society's Pioneer Village. It represents the past for the present and the future to view and hopefully appreciate. This village, like those in other states deserves to be appreciated. Its location in our North Dakota Fairgrounds is ideal. It is a "jewel" during fair week for hundreds of visitors to see.
In closing I am reminded that heritage is precious and not something to be cast aside for temporary expediency.

Welcome TCers to a non-Tea topic today. Stop by and share your tea with us.
Are you feeling S.A.D.? Seasonal Affective Disorder
Well, it has been rainy and/or cloudy and damp for about 27 of the last 30 days here. The Winter Blues it seems are here to stay, at least for a while. Light deprivation or Seasonal Affective Disorder appears to have arrived here in PA. It never really occurred to me that 'the lack of sunshine' can have such dramatic effects on my well-being as much as it did this year.
So, my question is, have you noticed the effects of 'Light Deprivation' or S.A.D. this winter (apologies to our Southern Hemisphere members)?
I am looking forward to sharing with you ... Bottoms up!
Here's to sunny days ahead!

Christmas Fund helped 238 families
To the editor:
A letter of thanks and some general information for those generous people who donated money and their time to North Elba Community Christmas Fund.
Due to the generosity of so many this year, we were able to provide food baskets, fruit baskets and bagged fruit for a total of 238 families. Approximately 165 children were given snowsuits, boots, hats, mittens, blankets, toys and sleds. Poinsettias were given to many residents at Uihlein.
We would like to thank all who made it possible through donations of money, clothes, toys and food, along with those who delivered food baskets on Dec. 21. Things went very quickly and smoothly under the direction of Britt Pickard and Shannon Porter. We really appreciate all that everyone does to help; if not for you, all of this could not be possible.
Again, thank you,
Denice Fredericks, treasurer

text: With the competition rising, can we expect the nest version of Raspberry Pi sooner? I am sure all those features mentioned for Banana Pi could be met for the next version of Raspberry Pi. One clear differentiating uniqueness of Raspberry Pi compared to the Banana Pi is the processor & SDRAM PoP package on Raspberry Pi. Would that package still be maintained while providing more processing power & more memory? I guess, the PoP would have some limitations in terms of heat dissipation and that would limit the speed and memory. So, would that architecture change in "C" version?

I'm about to use a word to describe the handbags from Gucci Spring 2013 that I genuinely have never associated with Gucci or its bags in the past: simple. For the candy-colored clutches and petite shoulder bags that Gucci sent down the runway in Milan on Friday, the brand's iconic horsebit hardware was back and nearly everything else was gone. Shown in two versions, Gucci's pared-down flap bags were a notable departure for a brand know for its large, sometimes aggressive handbags.
Gucci creative head Frida Giannini has always enjoyed turning our expectations of the brand on their heads, though, and that's exactly what she did in a runway show full of monochrome and monotexture ensembles. The bags followed the lead of the clothes instead of making their own statement, and it'll be interesting to see how this newfound restraint reverberates through the rest of Gucci's accessory line come spring. Check out all the bags after the jump.

This thing is TINY and not at all recommended for a kid's science fair project. We ended up ordering a cheaper, larger, but still accurate product elsewhere online and were thrilled with that product.

Scriptella for CUBRID - Video Tutorial
posted 7 years ago in CUBRID Videos category by Esen Sagynov
CUBRID Trainings Channel is broadcasting! Today we will talk about Scriptella, an open source ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) and script execution software tool written in Java. It can be used to export/import the data from the databases. Scriptella provides excellent support for data transformation, which is proven to be very useful when migrating the databases. In case of CUBRID, we use Scriptella to transfer the data between the databases.
In this video tutorial you will learn about what Scriptella is and what kind of support it provides for CUBRID. During the video we will also demonstrate the examples how to use Scriptella with CUBRID and tell you where you can download them. Through the demo you will learn how to create tables and insert records using Scriptella. Scriptella can SELECT data from the tables, transform them and save into file directly in CSV (Comma Separated Value) files. All is coded in well-defined XML format, which you will also see in this video tutorial.
Here is a link to an online tutorial about Scriptella for CUBRID. You may want to read it as well to make sure you know everything to get the most out of your CUBRID Experience.
If you have any questions regarding Scriptella, please post them on our CUBRID Forum.

This off subject, growing up my favorite soup was Swiss Chard and Lentil Soup With Lemon Juicehttp://www.food.com/recipe/swiss-chard-and-lentil-soup-with-lemon-juice-276909Where did you buy your Chard from?
Norma:My experience cooking with both chard and kale is that chard has quite a bit more water content.Barry
I put it on raw, and it worked great. No water issues at all. It would be a mistake to precook for NP unless you wanted to just put stacks of the stuff on a pie. I cut out the center stalk and chopped it into about 3/4 inch slices. I also topped the pie with buffalo mozz, hot fennel sausage, and Calabrian chilies.
Have you tried broccoli rabe on a pie? That would have to be tasty too.jon
It was very good. I'd make it again for sure.
Sounds good....wonder how a collard(not cooked down too much in a garlic,butter, Texas Pete pot liquor) topped with ham hock bits from the pot would turn out...a white pie with Gruyere maybe? Pot liquor drizzle...my snizzle?
I look forward to seeing you make one and telling us how it was.
Love collards, or any of the greens for that matter. But as you said they WOULD need some par-cooking or very thinly julienned as they are probably they tougher of the bunch, which is why texturally I like them so much and their deep flavor.jon
I agree, they need some cooking, and with some smoked meat is the best, but many mush them to death. Thinking of a savory cheese cake or fritatta tomorrow with some greens and capicola, hashbrown crust.....hmmmmjon

TheStreet Launches Dividend Stock Advisor Newsletter
Helmed by Jim Cramer protege and Portfolio Manager, David Peltier, the cornerstone of Dividend Stock Advisor is a diversified model portfolio of dividend stocks with expected yields of at least 3%, a track record of consistently raising their payouts and the potential to generate double-digit annual returns with relatively little risk. Every two weeks, Mr. Peltier will update readers with the prospects of each name in the portfolio and, as market conditions warrant, will alert them in real-time of buys or sells in the portfolio. Dividend Stock Advisor will also educate investors about dividend stock investing, which has come back to the forefront given historic low rates in bonds, CDs and money market funds.
"I won't just pick the stocks with the biggest dividends, nor the ones with the highest yields," said Mr. Peltier, "Of course, I look at dividend yield, but I'm also looking for stocks with good growth prospects, so regardless of the rise or fall of the stock market, Dividend Stock Advisor should deliver consistent total returns, combining both dividends and capital appreciation."
"Week in and week out, no one does a better job of uncovering the highest performing dividend stocks than David Peltier and our Research Team here at TheStreet," said Jim Cramer. "And now -- with Dividend Stock Advisor -- investors can expect the best of both worlds, high dividend yields and high growth. Anyone who has read me at TheStreet or watched my television shows knows that I think dividends are the most important part of successful long-term investing."
Although the service is formally launching today, Mr. Peltier has been running the portfolio since the first day of the trading year, January 2, 2013. Year-to-date through yesterday's close, Dividend Stock Advisor has returned 4.86%, outperforming the 4.54% rise in its benchmark, the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index ETF (DVY) . Past performance, though, is no guarantee of future success.
Mr. Peltier will be leading a twitter chat today at 4:30 p.m. EST, to discuss Dividend Stock Advisor and the stocks in the portfolio. Join him @dividendsguru and use the hashtag #DSAchat.
About David Peltier
Mr. Peltier joined TheStreet from Individual Investor magazine in August 2001 and also writes and manages the very popular Stocks Under $10 subscription service. He graduated from New York University's Stern School of Business with a degree in Finance and has appeared as a guest on NPR, Nightly Business Report, CNNfn, WNYW-TV and presented at The Money Show. You can also follow Mr. Peltier on Twitter @davidspeltier.

12 Terrific Restaurants You've Probably Never Heard Of
Last year, several of our favorite travel writers reported on the finest little-known hotels and resorts they'd discovered ("11 Great Hotels and Resorts You've Probably Never Heard Of," February/March 2013). Now it's mealtime. For this feature, we asked some of our globetrotting contributors to write about restaurants they love but that our readers probably haven't heard of. Here are their reports.
La Roca el Balcon (Nogales, Mexico)
Tucson has excellent Mexican restaurants, so it takes a pretty special one to draw locals across the border, 60 miles to the south. La Roca el Balcon, in downtown Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, does just that. The 42-year-old establishment is a crown of authenticity. Set against a rocky hillside above a tiled courtyard with a splashing fountain and big magnolias on a cobbled side street, it's a formal, cavernous space with old-world styling. Yet it offers an informal atmosphere where wandering musicians play well and also know when to allow you privacy. La Roca is a splendid spot for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Sonoran cuisine abounds, with classic regional offerings of beef, chicken and especially fresh fish. White-jacketed waiters expertly manage service, and big chalkboards brought to your table describe daily specials. Private rooms accommodate business and social gatherings. If you go from the U.S. (an easy drive down I-19 from Tucson), it's best to park at one of the several well-run lots in the twin city of Nogales, Arizona; from there, it's a quick stroll across the border to the restaurant. —Joe Sharkey

Sudachi (Jackson Hole, Wyoming)
Sushi probably isn't the first thing you'd associate with Wyoming, but Jackson Hole, the well-known hotspot for super-affluent vacationers, isn't your typical Wyoming town. Sudachi, one of its best restaurants, is beloved by locals for its New York/Seattle-quality sushi and such other dishes as lobster wrap with Kobe beef sashimi, and spicy tuna on crispy rice. The mixed drinks and deserts are fabulous as well. Sudachi's chic, Japanese-modern atmosphere and attentive, knowledgeable staff complete the package. Jackson Hole residents bring out-of-town guests here toshow off a jewel of their town's high-quality cuisine scene. —James Ullrich
Info: sudachijh.com, (307) 734-7832
Frog Hollow Tavern (Augusta, Georgia)
Augusta's downtown dining scene has exploded over the past 10 years and if you are in town for the annual Masters Golf Tournament, you owe it to yourself to venture into the city. None of the 29 locally owned dining establishments will disappoint, but head first for the Frog Hollow Tavern, where a modern restaurant-meets-bar atmosphere blends comfortable seating, attentive service and exquisite cuisine. Chef Sean A. Wight's dinner menu features ultra-fresh, mainly local and regional ingredients. Try the wild caught shrimp, pork lardons, house-made andouille sausage and local tomatoes over organic Anson Mills grits, or perhaps cornmeal-dusted North Carolina flounder and caramelized Vidalia onions. The wine list boasts more than a hundred labels that focus on sustainable, organic practices. The bar also features exceptional classic cocktails, all made with fresh-squeezed juices and homemade mixes. Walk off your meal with a stroll along the bricked Augusta Riverwalk—Debi Lander
Info: froghollowtavern.com, (706) 364-6906
Olivar (Seattle)
Seattle visitors often opt for a dinner at the touristy, overpriced Pike Place Market, but a better bet would be the little jewel called Olivar. Situated in the trendy Capitol Hill neighborhood, it delivers Mediterranean cuisine prepared by top-flight chefs who bring a succulent slice of the warm Med to the cold Pacific Northwest. Cozy and unpretentious, the restaurant boasts a casual atmosphere that fits the personality of its regulars. Favorites include spicy mussels with Spanish herbs, lamb pancetta atop crostini laced with a white bean paste, charcuterie plates with duck terrine, pork pâté and chorizo and lightly seasoned Spanish tapas. Portions are generous, ingredients are fresh and prices are reasonable. Arrive early to beat the locals, who consider Olivar a treat worth leaving the seafood houses for. —James Ullrich
Info: olivarrestaurant.com, (206) 322-0409
Pirogue Grill (Bismarck, North Dakota)
At Pirogue Grill, one of the Rocky Mountains' best eateries, locals and politicos jockey for tables to savor meat straight from the prairie: sausage made from locally raised venison, tender bison medallions and the finest green-pasture-fed, melt-in-your-mouth steak. Proprietors Stuart and Cheryl Tracy named the restaurant after Lewis and Clark's dugout canoe, and like the two famous explorers, they've mapped new territory, serving up such specialties as North Dakota bison osso buco with gremolata, New Zealand butterfish with red pepper and sautéed petrale sole with lemon-and-caper butter sauce. Stuart, who trained at the Culinary Institute of America and was on the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament's Culinary Team, was chef at the Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and at The Rivery near Bismarck. The elegant but casual 70-seat eatery features locally sourced seasonal ingredients. All stocks, sauces, breads and desserts are made from scratch, and diners can watch the chefs work through an open archway with a view of the kitchen.—Margie Goldsmith
Info: piroguegrille.com, (701) 223-3770
Las Brumas Grill & Café (San Salvador, El Salvador)
Central America's "a la plancha" (on the grill) cooking tradition is practiced to perfection here, amidst a volcano-side setting of lush gardens and landscapes overlooking San Salvador. Built in 2009 on the grounds of a former coffee farm, Las Brumas (The Mists) features charcoal-grilled meats and seafood—beef, chicken, rabbit, pork, fish and shrimp—prepared by haute cuisine-trained chefs. Appetizers including pupusitas, empanadas, postelitos and yucca con chicharron, and accompaniments of locally grown grilled eggplant, zucchini, carrot, potato and corn provide as panoramic a view of Salvadoran cuisine as diners enjoy of the valley and El Picacho volcano. Finish your feast with postres (desserts) made on the premises, and 100-percent Salvadoran coffee. The main building occupies the former colonial estate's refurbished house, which is surrounded by lush gardens and stands of pine and cypress. Trails weaving through the property provide a pleasant way to work off your meal.—James Wynbrandt
Info: lasbrumas.com, (503) 2508-0454
Luzzo's (New York City)
A lot of people claim to have discovered New York's best pizza place, but I really have. Located in the East Village, Luzzo's serves thin-crust pie that tastes perfect: it's fresh and flavorful, with just the right crispy/chewy mix, and never greasy (you won't feel bloated the next day). Also notable are the Cesare and rucola salads, fried Carciofi (artichokes) and fried dough balls with Nutella (off-menu) for dessert. Almost better than the food are the attentive service, familial atmosphere and wine list. Children will love the quirky décor (chairs and lamps hang upside-down from the ceiling) and adults will appreciate the wide selection of well-chosen Italian wines. —Jennifer Leach English
Info: luzzosgroup.com, (212) 473-7447
Ballymaloe House Restaurant (Cork, Ireland)
This restaurant, part of the 17th century family-run Ballymaloe Country House Hotel, is itself almost enough to justify a trip to Ireland. Fish, poultry and meat are sourced locally, but everything else is from the Ballymaloe farm: fruits and vegetables are grown in the walled garden; cheese and dairy products, including the thickest fresh cream you'll ever taste, come from the dairy; and biscuits, breads and desserts are made from scratch. Menus are based on fresh catch and whatever is ripe, such as runner beans, courgettes, globe artichokes, kale and cabbage. The dining room, with its soft lighting, crystal and fine china, is romantic even at breakfast, when you can have eggs, bacon, sausages and homemade rhubarb, ginger, gooseberry and elderflower jams. Lunch offers a choice of a three-course repast or light meal including homemade cheeses, and dinner is a five-course extravaganza with soup, salad or sorbet, fresh fish, seasonal vegetables, pâté and terrines, and sumptuous desserts. All are served with excellent wines from the extensive wine cellar. The Friday night hors d'oeuvres buffet with the best Irish seafood plus Ballymaloe's smoked mackerel and hake is not to be missed. —Margie Goldsmith

Les Terrasses de Lyon (Lyon, France)
If you travel to Lyon and want to have a feel for the culture of France's second city and its historical link to Italy, Les Terrasses de Lyon (aka La Villa Florentine) is the place to go. As his grandmother was Sicilian, chef Davy Tissot has recently created a menu that wonderfully reinvents some Italian dishes. And don't miss the Amaretti à l'orange, a dessert that will be a perfect match for a glass of natural sweet wine—among the wine list's best-kept secrets. Maybe as important as the great and original food is the incredible view you get of Lyon's Renaissance district. You also will see the modern bridges on the Saône river, which are famous for their beautiful night lighting. And the service is perfect; the waiters and waitresses have a relaxing sense of humor. Les Terrasses de Lyon offers a consistently wonderful experience—and a romantic one, if you visit with your loved one. The restaurant has one Michelin star and, after visiting, you may well wonder why it does not have a couple more.—Thierry Dubois
Info: villaflorentine.com, +33(0)4 72565656
El Olivo (Mallorca, Spain)
Adjacent to the small medieval hilltop town of Deià on the northwest coast of Mallorca, you'll find an unexpected five-star hotel. Twin historic manor houses, gardens dotted with orange trees, an olive plantation and important collections of sculptures make up the grounds of La Residencia. The hotel's Michelin-starred El Olivo ranks among the best restaurants in Spain. Executive chef Guillermo Méndez and his team like to blend the flavors of the Mediterranean with the best imported products, as well as organic produce from the hotel gardens. The restaurant staff will guide you through the tasting, à la carte and vegetarian menus while you dine amid flickering candlelight in the majestic surroundings of the Tramuntana Mountains. Select from the excellent wine list, which, year after year, has achieved an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. —Debi Lander
Info: hotel-laresidencia.com, +34 971 63 6046, (800) 237-1236 (reservations essential)
Blanchy Street (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)
This restaurant, which opened last year, is the laidback sister to late-night drinking and dancing den Blanchy's Tash. Set within a French colonial property along up-and-coming "Alley 74D," it is named after Paul Blanchy, Saigon's first French colonial mayor. Australian chef Martin Brito's menu of Japanese-inspired, pan-Asian cuisine with a South American accent pays lip service to his former posting at Nahm, the first Michelin-starred Thai restaurant in Europe, and six-year tenure at Nobu London. Options range from light and fresh to devilishly decadent: crabmeat salad is complemented by a citrus dressing with crispy shallots and cucumber, while hand-chopped Norwegian salmon tartare with wasabi and tobiko is buttery soft and melts in the mouth. But the must-try standouts are Brito's crispy pork belly, braised for eight hours then fried and served with a miso sauce; and a half-chicken marinated for three days, pan roasted and served with a side of the chef's secret signature sauce. Be warned: it's addictive. —Gemma Price
Info: blanchystreet.com, +84 8 3823 8793
Sugar Palm (Siem Reap, Cambodia)
One of Siem Reap's greatest institutions, Sugar Palm serves the best Khmer food in town. Owner and chef Kethana Dunnet returned from exile in New Zealand in 2003 to reintroduce Cambodian cooking styles and recipes lost during the Khmer Rouge era; after opening the first Sugar Palm in the capital, Phnom Penh, she built this traditional Khmer timber house in Siem Reap—the jumping off point for the Angkorian temple complex—to house her second outlet in 2006.Kethana's sweet-sour pomelo salad with sliced pork, dried shrimp, silver noodles and mint and tossed with a citrus-based dressing is refreshing and moreish, but her soufflé-like fish amok—a decadent, coconut-cream-based snakehead-fish curry steamed in a palm leaf—is to die for. Besides being a fine choice for dinner, Sugar Palm is a great spot to take a cooking class: Kethana even schooled Gordon Ramsey on the finer points of Khmer cuisine when Ramsey was filming his Great Escape series in 2010.—Gemma Price
