31 dishes: A guide to China's regional specialties
China has more gourmet styles than you can shake a lamb skewer at: from the spicy heat of the southwest to the hearty meat of nomadic minorities, to the seafood-heavy menus in the southeast.
There are 31 provinces and municipalities spread across the mainland's 9.6 million square kilometers, and each brings a unique approach to meal times.
To take you across the massive country plate by plate, we've selected a specialty dish from each mainland province and municipality.
If you can't get to them all, you might at least get to major Chinese cities like Shanghai, where solid renditions of each dish on this list is available in authentic ethnic eateries.
Travel though the entries below, then tell us your favorite Chinese dish via our Facebook poll.
1. Anhui province: Hongshao chou guiyu (red-braised fermented mandarin fish, 红烧臭鳜鱼)
The cuisine: Compared with the rest of China, Anhui cuisine relies less on fried and stir-fried dishes. Locals here prefer simple cooking methods, such as braising and stewing.
The dish: Fermented mandarin fish shares a pungency with blue cheese and stinky tofu, but once you get past first impressions, you'll be rewarded with a braised flavor that's highly addictive.
2. Beijing: Kaoya (Peking roast duck, 烤鸭)
The cuisine: Generations of emperors and blue-blooded residents have set the standard for high-end Chinese cuisine.
The city is famous for imperial cuisine, or guan cai (官菜), which uses only premium quality ingredients and is cooked with complex techniques.
The dish: A perfect kaoya is roasted to a reddish color; its skin remains crispy and the meat oozes a fruity flavor.
A whole roasted duck is typically served in two ways: the juicy meat and crispy skin are wrapped in mandarin pancakes with scallion, cucumber and hoisin sauce; and the bones are slow-cooked into a tasty soup.
With a history spanning a century, Beijing-based restaurant chain Quanjude (全聚德) roasts some of China's best fowls.
3. Chongqing: La zi ji (chili-fried chicken cubes, 辣子鸡)
The cuisine: Even compared with food from Sichuan, China's mecca of spicy dishes, Chongqing cuisine scores high in spiciness and numb-inducing ingredients.
The dish: La zi ji combines crispy chicken breast cubes with a fireplace of peppercorn, toasted sesame and dried bird's-eye chilis to create a plate of hot, red deliciousness.
Restaurant chain Sichuan Folk (simplified Chinese site), or ba guo bu yi (巴国布衣), is a good bet for a plate of authentic la zi ji in major Chinese cities.
The nationwide brand also stages thrilling Sichuan "face-changing" opera performance during dinner hours.
4. Fujian province: Fo tiao qiang (Buddha jumps over the wall, 佛跳墙)
The cuisine: Located along the southeastern coast of China, Fujian is famous for fresh seafood, but its flavorful shrimp oil and shrimp paste make the region's cuisine stand proud.
The dish: Legend has it that this dish is so irresistible that Buddha jumped over the wall for a taste.
Fo tiao qiang is made of 18 pricey ingredients, including shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber, ginseng and scallops, all simmered together for hours with premium Shaoxing rice wine.
If you're ready to splurge, try sipping fo tiao qiang (RMB 1,280) while seated in a golden throne at Tanshi Imperial Cuisine (谭氏官府菜, simplified Chinese site), a Qing palace-themed restaurant.
In addition to the traditional ingredients, the restaurant chain adds aphrodisiacs such as deer penis and Chinese caterpillar fungus.
5. Gansu province: Lanzhou lamian (Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, 兰州拉面)
The cuisine: This Islamic province makes hands-down the best noodles with beef or lamb in the country.
The dish: The perfect Lanzhou lamian is made with five ingredients: a clear soup, white radish, green coriander, red chilis, yellow noodles.
The best way to experience this regional mainstay is seated in a humble lamian joint, slurping down noodles amid hungry eaters.
6. Guangdong province: Lao huo tang (slow-boiled soup, 老火汤)
The cuisine: Inhabitants of this southern province are known for their passion for food: whether it's a sumptuous dim sum feast or a snake hot pot, countless delicacies originate from Guangdong.
The region is most famous for its soup, congee and dim sum, both in China and overseas.
The dish: Slow-boiled soup is the one thing that real Cantonese can't live a day without.
The soup is usually simmered for at least three hours with traditional Chinese medicines and herbal remedies, such as caterpillar fungus and goji berries.
7. Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region: Luo si ji (pond snail chicken, 螺蛳鸡)
The cuisine: Guangxi province is located in the mountainous terrain of the far south, where locals love to go hunting in the forests and fishing in the lakes.
The results are prepared with spicy and sour flavors.
The dish: Guangxi isn't just famous for its rice noodles. Luo si ji is a spicy-sour dish featuring pond snails, free-range chicken, bamboo shoots and fermented tofu.
8. Guizhou province: Suan tang yu (fish in sour soup, 酸汤鱼)
The cuisine: Like foodies in Sichuan and Hunan, Miao tribespeople in hilly Guizhou loves their food sour and spicy.
The dish: The soup is made with fermented rice or tomatoes, pickled chilis and various herbs, and then cooked with freshly caught river fish for a super sour blend.
The thick, delicious broth has a persistent aroma. You can throw in tofu and other vegetables and eat it hot-pot style.
9. Hainan province: Hainan jifan (Hainan chicken rice, 海南鸡饭)
The cuisine: Hainanese love to pile their plates with a variety of fresh seafood and exotic fruits from their tropical island.
The dish: The national dish of Singapore is actually a Hainan native.
The best Hainan jifan (chicken rice) uses free-range chickens from the island's Wenchang county, and the rice is cooked in chicken fat and chicken broth.
10. Hebei province: Lvrou huoshao (donkey meat sandwich, 驴肉火烧)
The cuisine: Much as it is in neighboring Beijing, Hebei cuisine is savory and sauce heavy, with an emphasis on the cut and color of the dishes.
The dish: Brace yourself. Locals reckon donkey is as delicious as dragon meat, even though no one can provide much in the way of documentary evidence of having eaten the latter.
Donkey meat is high in protein, low in cholesterol and has a finer fiber than beef. It's leaner than pork and lacks the funky odor of mutton.
Sliced donkey meat is stewed and served between two pieces of ciabatta-like bread to make a Hebei-style sandwich.
11. Heilongjiang province: Harbin hongchang (Harbin red sausage, 哈尔滨红肠)
The cuisine: Heilongjiang is among the coldest provinces in China, and its people eat lots of meat and Russian bread. The cuisine is typified by heavy sauce and deep-frying.
The dish: In the early 20th century, Russian traders brought this smoked pork sausage across the border into Harbin. Since then it's become a specialty of the city.
Flavored with garlic and black pepper, hongchang is the perfect companion to dalieba bread and tastes even better with a pint of Harbin beer.
12. Henan province: Yangrou huimian (lamb soup noodles, 羊肉烩面)
The cuisine: Located in the center of the country, Henan is known as China's breadbasket due to its powerhouse wheat, rice and grain output.
The dish: Huimian is a type of chewy, belt-like noodle made from fine wheat flour.
What makes it special is lamb broth, which is slow-boiled for at least five hours, resulting in a milky, snow-white soup ideal for a cold day.
13. Hubei province: Sanxian doupi (three delicacies wrapped in tofu skin, 三鲜豆皮)
The cuisine: Three words sum up Hubei cuisine: steamed, fishy and soupy.
The province is also famous for its delicious breakfast snacks, such as hot dry noodles and sanxian doupi.
The dish: Sanxian doupi is Hubei's answer to lasagna.
The traditional breakfast from Wuhan is made with a delicious stuffing, a mixture of soft glutinous rice, egg, mushroom and pork, tucked into two pieces of tofu skin and then pan-fried until golden brown.
14. Hunan province: Duojiao yutou (steamed fish head with pickled chilis, 剁椒鱼头)
The cuisine: Also known as Xiang cuisine (湘菜), Hunan food is known to be just as hot as Sichuan, minus the numbing quality. Locals are partial to smoked and cured meats in their dishes.
The dish: In addition to an irresistible combination of pickled chilis and the tender meat of a fish head, duojiao yutou is packed with nutrients, such as vitamin A and vitamin C, providing an instant metabolism boost.
Restaurant chain South Memory (望湘园) cooks up its own version of this traditional Hunan dish.
Instead of just red chilis, chefs use both green and red chilis to create a colorful mixture. Add the complimentary plate of egg noodles to the soupy fish dish to make a full meal.
15. Inner Mongolia autonomous region: Kao yang tui (barbequed lamb leg, 烤羊腿)
The cuisine: From beef and mutton, to venison and ostrich, hearty Inner Mongolians never say no to barbecue.
The dish: This isn't the average meat-on-a-stick. It's an entire grilled sheep leg loaded with spices.

16. Jiangsu province: Songshu guiyu (squirrel-like mandarin fish, 松鼠桂鱼)
The cuisine: Jiangsu food is famous for its cut and shape.
The provincial capital of Nanjing produces the best salted duck in the country, while Suzhou in the south is renowned for its desserts and rice cakes.
The dish: Carved into the shape of a squirrel (sort of), the mandarin fish is deep-fried until golden brown, then smothered with a sweet-and-sour glaze, which, when poured sizzling over the fish, results in a squeak that sound like an actual squirrel (thus the name of the dish).
You can sample some of the province's best Songshu guiyu at historic restaurant Song He Lou (松鹤楼) in Suzhou.
17. Jiangxi province: Sanbeiji (three-cup chicken, 三杯鸡)
The cuisine: Combining the spice of Sichuan, the sweetness of Jiangsu, and generous portions of northern China, the eclectic Jiangxi cuisine throws in a bit of everything.
The dish: Not to be confused with the Taiwanese sanbeiji, this Jiangxi version is made with different sauces.
With no seasonings other than a cup of rice wine, a cup of lard and a cup of soy sauce, this chicken is cooked into a scarlet ambrosial treat.
18. Jilin province: Gou rou guo (dog meat hotpot, 狗肉锅)
The cuisine: On the border with North Korea, Jilin province shares a common love of pickled vegetables and dog meat with its notorious neighbor.
The dish: If you're not troubled by the idea of chowing on "man's best friend," dog meat hot pot is considered a great nourishing winter dish.
Garnished with garlic shoots, garlic cloves and green onion, chunks of canine meat are slowly stewed in a soy sauce-based broth for hours until tender and its texture similar to a veal stew.
19. Laoning province: Xiaoji dun mogu (chicken and mushroom stew, 小鸡炖蘑菇)
The cuisine: The Laoning people are known for being extremely straightforward and generous, and their cuisine reflects these traits.
Not as delicate as the culinary culture of the south, Liaoning dishes are known for strong, rich flavors and hearty portions.
The dish: In the cold of northeast China, families huddle together on a heated bed to share a dish of stewed chicken, hazel mushroom and potato noodles to help pass the harsh winters.
Dongbeiren is one of the most popular northeastern-style restaurants in China, and xiaoji dun mogu (RMB 49) is its signature dish.
20. Ningxia Hui autonomous region: Yangza sui tang (sheep entrails soup, 羊杂碎汤)
The cuisine: Favoring simple cooking methods, the nomads and Muslim Hui of this autonomous region can't live without their boiled beef and mutton.
The dish: A steaming bowl of sheep entrails soup is garnished with spicy red chili oil and fragrant coriander -- the best treat for a Ningxia shepherd after a day of herding.
21. Qinghai province: Shouzhua yangrou (hand-grabbed lamb, 手抓羊肉)
The cuisine: Qinghai's vast expanse of grassland produces some of the country's finest mutton and beef. While cooking, locals combine spice with twists of sweetness.
The region's cuisine is heavily influenced by Hui Muslim and Tibetan cooking traditions.
The dish: As a province with a large Islamic population, Qinghai contains a great variety of halal food.
The local style of cooking lamb is to boil it in plain water, which brings out the maximum tenderness of the meat. The meat is then eaten by hand, with diners grabbing and pulling pieces of the meat off the bone.
22. Shaanxi province: Qishan saozi mian (qishan noodles, 岐山臊子面)
The cuisine: The northwestern province makes use of simple ingredients, such as pork, lamb and noodles.
Shaanxi cuisine is often sour and spicy, with strong garlic and coriander flavors.
The dish: These soup noodles feature hand-rolled dough cooked in a red oil-based broth.
The broth is topped with saozi, a stir-fried mixture of diced pork belly, dried tofu, wooden ear mushrooms, day lilies and seaweed.
23. Shandong province: Jiuzhuan dachang (braised pork intestines in brown sauce, 九转大肠)
The cuisine: The hometown of Confucius is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese culinary culture.
Shangdong cuisine is known for its fresh seafood and heavy meat dishes.
The dish: We know what you're thinking, and it's true -- the English name doesn't sound particularly appealing.
But this Shandong dish cleverly combines sour, sweet, fragrant, spicy and savory flavors. The result is a delicious meal.
Pork intestines have a peculiar odor, making them tricky to cook, so skillful Shandong cooks make sure they are absolutely clean before throwing them in the wok.
24. Shanghai: Hongshaorou (red braised pork belly, 红烧肉)
The cuisine: Largely influenced by its neighbor Suzhou, Shanghainese love their food sweet.
From hairy crab to hongshaorou, you'll find sweetness on most local plates.
The dish: Undeniably the symbol of Shanghainese cuisine, hongshaorou is rich in flavor and heavy in sauce. It's a dream for pork lovers.
After hours of braising, the lean meat of the pork belly becomes extremely juicy, thanks to layers of fat.
The best hongshaorou comes courtesy of a lovely Shanghainese mother. Don't have one? Yuan Yuan Jiujia (圆苑酒家), a Shanghainese restaurant specializing in hongshaorou that tastes homemade, is the next best thing.
25. Shanxi province: Youmian kao laolao (honeycomb noodles, 莜面栲栳栳)
The cuisine: Shanxi locals like to stick by lamb, vinegar and wheat products. The region also has some of the tastiest and most interesting noodle dishes.
The dish: Once known as a poor man's dish, honeycomb noodles are made of ground oats, a healthier substitute for wheat. The dish is often steamed, then served with various dips.
26. Sichuan province: Mapo doufu (mapo Tofu, 麻婆豆腐)
The cuisine: Sichuan is one of the most influential regional cuisines in today's China.
It's known for the strong flavor and bright color and is heavily seasoned with chili pepper, Sichuan pepper, black pepper and fresh ginger.
The dish: Mapo doufu is named after its creator, a freckle-face woman ("mapo" in Chinese) from Chengdu who lived during the Qing Dynasty. No Sichuan meal is complete without it.
The tofu is tender, the minced beef crispy, the scallions fresh. The sauce hits its "ma" (numb) and "la" (spicy) notes with aplomb.
Chen Mapo Doufu (陈麻婆豆腐), a restaurant in downtown Chengdu, cooks some of the region's best mapo tofu.
27. Tianjin: Tie bobo ao xiaoyu (baked corn bread combined with fish, 贴饽饽熬小鱼)
The cuisine: Tianjin is one of the largest harbor cities in China and the local cuisine mixes all sorts of cooking styles with produce from the sea.
The dish: Tie bobo ao xiaoyu is a Tianjin staple. Combining fish and vegetables in a stew along with baked corn bread, this dish is perfect to share with a group.
Having absorbed the umami flavor from the broth, the corn bread becomes the highlight of the meal.
28. Tibet autonomous region: Kao maoniu pai (barbecued yak ribs, 烤牦牛排)
The cuisine: Tibetans' Arcadian lifestyle impacts their dining table.
As long as there's barley wine, yak meat, goat cheese and milk on the menu, locals are satisfied.
The dish: Among a wide selection of yak-based products, the barbecued yak ribs are beloved. They're usually served still sizzling from a grill.
29. Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region: Da pan ji (big plate chicken, 大盘鸡)
The cuisine: Uygur people like to show their hospitality by treating guests to heavy sauces on top of hearty meat dishes served on gigantic plates.
The dish: Da pan ji features big chunks of chicken and potatoes cooked in a beer-based sauce and garnished with colorful bell peppers.
Generous portions are vital.
30. Yunnan province: Guoqiao mixian (over-the-bridge rice noodles, 过桥米线)
The cuisine: Yunnan cuisine is heavily influenced by Sichuan, meaning locals have a yen for spicy food.
The province is also home to the largest number of ethnic minorities in China, who enjoy adding flowers and wild mushrooms to their cooking.
The dish: Allegedly invented by a virtuous wife who wanted to keep her soup noodles fresh and hot for her hard-studying husband, this Yunnan specialty is nutritious and often beautifully presented.
The dish normally comes with a bowl of rice noodles, a bowl of stock and more than a dozen of small plates piled with toppings, such as beef, crab meat, salted goose, oyster mushrooms, wooden-ear mushrooms, assorted vegetables and fragrant herbs.
31. Zhejiang province: Longjing xiaren (dragon well tea fried shrimp, 龙井虾仁)
The cuisine: Zhejiang is rich with fish and rice. The cuisine combines fresh ingredients with decorative elements to create an edible artwork.
The dish: This dish combines the West Lake region's best green tea with the freshest river prawns. Longjing xiaren is simple and elegant.
Historic Hangzhou restaurant Zhangshengji (张生记), with outlets in Hangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and beyond, prepares the dish with wild shrimp.

Worst receiver I ever purchased
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Bad product and bad experience with Denon USA. First, after 6 months of ownership, the unit failed and could not be recovered. Based on a series of tests with the Crutchfield tech, he felt there was no way to resolve the unit and I must send it to a 3rd party repair facility. They directed me to instructions that indicate I must very carefully package the unit and cover all packaging and shipping costs. I thought this was odd to have the consumer bear such a cost for a 6 month failure so I had an online chat with a rep at Denon. After much back and forth he kindly explained that Denon warrants their product in only a limited way. It's Ironic, when I bought this Denon AVR E400 from Crutchfield I set aside my 12 year old Sony DTS receiver thinking the Denon would bring so much added technology, sound and features. I should have just kept the Sony going since it was still working with no issue after 12 years.
Pros: None
Cons: If you buy a lemon you are in for another $50+ to get it fixed after purchase and out of a receiver for a few weeks.

Reviews of this property
I would definitely recommend this apartment. Our hosts were helpful and kind giving us important information about the city, transportation, cuisine etc. The room was clean and comfortable, including iron, hair dryer, towels, bath gel, soap etc. Great place, great stay.
It was very peacefull and clean apartment. Bed was good and temperature in the apartment very cool. The metro was very close and it was easy go to centrum and for example to la rambla. Thank you Teresa and Xavier.
Tuula and Jorma from very north.
Maria and her husband were perfect hosts. Check-In and Check-Out worked out perfect and very flexible. They gave us very helpful advices about Barcelona and were always open for questions. We would love to come soon again.
The appartment was really decent size and felt spacious. It was very clean and complete, almost everything you needed to clean or cook was there. The owners are very friendly and showed us what parts of barcelona we needed to visit and which tourist attraction where worth while to visit. This was very useful! On the ground floor of the building is one other appartment and on the first floor is (a part of) an office. But you probably would wouldn't notice that it's there. The location of the appartment is very nice. It close to a small rambla which is nice to walk along and mayby eat and drink something. It a ten minute walk to the beach and the nearest metro station is around the corner which is ideal! I would definitely recommend this appartment!
We was stayed for three days by Teresa and Xavier. Hosts are pleasurable. The flat is big and bright. It is good place for holiday or rest.
Maria Teresa was so kind to me and my friends when we arrived at the apartment.
She offered us cold water and explained everything we asked about Barcelona.
We loved the apartment and our stay in this amazing city.
Thank you for everything,
We were lucky to find this amazing apartement. Everything same as described in the pictures and explanations. Supermarket is just seconds away fron them apartement. 10 minutes walk to the beautiful beach of Barcelona and it was really simple to get to city center by Metro.
Maria Teresa and Xavier have been the best hosts we've had so far. They gave all us all the neccessary information at beginning, so we knew what to vist and where to go.
I would absolutely recommend this apartement.
Maria Teresa was fantastic. She took time explaining where things were. The apartment was very clean, light and spacious. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely be going back. Gracias.
This apartment is a must!
Maria Terese and her husband are fantastic lovely people, helpful and considerate!
We arrived very early in the morning, the apartment was still not free but we could leave our suitcases at her and immediately into the city.
The apartment is located in a quiet street, it is spacious and clean, all you need is present.
Close to the beach, public transport and shops around the corner.
A great place!

While the "manifold" may be food grade I'm wondering about the squeeze pump.
It looks like an interesting project but...
Trying to think inside the box...
Why dont you PM and ask me how I test and develop my device? I have been in development for 5 years, tested and have made over 15 thousand honey sticks with my device. Buy it and take it to your state health dept and if they say no-go then i will refund your money. Do you treat your hives? I don't cause i dont want all those chemicals in my honey. I wont process my sticks with anything that would be bad either. I've passed all through my state.

Flewster; I'm not sure that BC was "bad mouthing" you. More like expressing some curiosity mixed with possibly some minor misgivings. If you have all the effort into the project you say, then I suppose it's natural to be a bit defensive, or maybe protective is a better word. Whatever his position is, a more positive response would be in your best interest.
Your right, I'm not interested in buying one
And I think you're right to discuss the device in private.

Well, it is posted in "Equipment/Hardware Review", which means, it is expected to be reviewed and, yes, criticized if necessary. It is strange that device for food does not require the certification. It uses the heat, it means that all plastic parts would release more plastifier than at room temperature. Squeeze pump look very suspicious - I am using similar one to pump gasoline to the boat outboard engine. I apologize for review, nothing personal, just a potential customer...
Серёжа, Sergey
I understand you questions and of course I had those same questions. In KS we have to have our honey processing facilities inspected by the state. They come at least once a year and we pay them our dollars they wave their magic food safety wand and we are once again given permission to continue to make food products for our customers. We have had this device in our processing facility for each of the last five years. It has been looked at and approved by KS state food kitchen inspectors for use in processing honey sticks. I am not sure what more I can say about my machine. I hope that you all have a good day.
Those of you bringing up food safety with plastic materials should consider ordinary PVC and CPVC water pipe. It is obviously carrying food for human consumption, and in the cases of CPVC pipe, rated for use with hot water.
The PVC pipe is not rated for hot water, but that is because of pressure concerns, not food safety. Ordinary PVC (cold water use) is used everywhere. Even if you don't have it in your building, it is almost certainly in use somewhere in virtually every municipal water system in the country.

Flewster, congrats on the elegant simplicity of your design. The pump is not frightening at all as I am very comfortable with a turkey baster, zip lock bags, ketchup bottles, all manner of plastic storage and food preparation devices. In use, the warm honey is only briefly in the squeeze bulb.
All in all, a nice quiet device for cottage industry packaging of one's own honey for convenient customer enjoyment.
So, is the pump approved by itself a food grade pump, or is it that you've been using it in your facility and KS Health didn't say anything about it?
I really wish my bee club would buy your machine. There are always requests for the club to speak at various places like the game farm, library, school ... This machine would be such a draw. Think of the group of kids watching those honey sticks being filled-especially at county fairs.
It is patent pending thank you very much. A machine does not have to be power driven to get a patent.

I wish to thank all the people who have kept an open mind on my machine. There are those that find it necessary to nit pick and say things they have no clue about. I have to wonder their motive. Are they jealous of what i have made? Maybe they wish they were talented enough to design, research, patent and build one themselves. Or maybe they are just pot stirrers. Whatever their motive it will not deter me from offering the small beek the opportunity to get out from the large corp and make their own sticks with their own honey. With an easy to operate device that will pay for itself in one season. Only two people have called and talked to me personally. Two more have pm'ed me and asked what they wanted to know. All good inventions were criticized and i wont be deterred. Thank you to my fellow beeks who understand and appreciate an inventor.
Are you getting a patent on the hot plate?
How about the $29 impulse sealer?
Squeezing honey into a straw isn't novel enough to warrant a patent. And there is prior art of your exact arrangement...
Trying to think inside the box...
Don't let these guys rattle your cage. Whatever the reason there will always be some who have something to say. Keep up your work, make improvements if you can or want to. I wonder how many would be here on beesource if Langstroth had listen to all the negative coments in his day.
Anyway, we are out of work right now, but when it picks up I would like one of your machines.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
Thanks for having the willingness to throw your ideas into our forum!

A genre of music containing bands whose t-shirts and other related artwork are characterized by bright, loud colors (pastel) and nonsensical designs. Usually worn by some skinny douche who thinks he's "brutal" or "hardcore" because of listening to said band(s). Generally just awful music but not always.
Example of bands that could be considered "Pastel-core" are Asking Alexandria, Suicide Silence, A Day to Remember, August Burns Red, etc.

The new 5 Series revision may look something to the effect of the following renderings. I don't necessarily get it.
BMW Design is surely vexed by your ambivalence.
While I don't understand the comment, although I do sense a bit of sarcasm, I would merely say that if this is the new 5 Series, then "I don't necessarily get it." For, in terms of retaining a degree of family lineage, then to that extent I do understand why the horizonal lighting (from the 3 Series) is incorporated, for example, on what appears to be the next 5 Series. However, and this is precisely where my mentioned perplexities start, my question to BMW is "why do your new 5 Series vehicles look so ordinary?" I do realize that that question may seem out of line to some but, nonetheless, to me it seems too obvious not to mention. For example, and as one automotive reporter put it non verbatim on the new 335i, why does the 335i (and this new 5 Series) have two round exhaust pipes that look like they were inspired by the Acura TSX or the Toyota Camry?Where is the originality BMW? Where is the stately appearance found within the likes of the 1997-2003 5 Series? The designs by Mr. Bangle have, although influenced countless car manufacturers and have held especially high esteem in Asia, effectively almost completely ruined the special, original, and understated power look of the BMW line. Nonetheless, I do realize that profits are the number one goal for any automobile manufacturer, and the overwhelming financial success that is the current 5 Series, at least here in the United States, for BMW is probably why my discrepancies don't hold much, if any, merit. I place a great deal of emphasis upon originality, and I like a car design that immediately and just about universally gains my almost unconditional approval. These, are my basic principles. But that is why I am not attracted to the current and to what appears to become the 2010 BMW 5 Series. "I don't necessarily get it."
I see alot of the new Mercedes slk line in that car.The present SLK line carries that shape much better.BMW's have turned into cars that you cannot buy sight unseen because from model to model,paint color to paint color and trim level to trim level,their appearance acceptability varies incredibly.I've seen new BMW's that were gorgeous and others that I'd trade for a Hyundai.
I remember back in the 90's when bimmers had a beautiful clean design. the new one are over the top fashion that i believe do not representwhat the brand is. To this day the previous generations are much better styled than the current generations in all series, and no one can deny that. NO ONE!

So I've been around the site for awhile I guess I should make an introduction
Im 31, married, father of 2.
Been in IT for the better part of 13 years professionally as a... well... regular jack of all trades. I do support, software development, incident response, infrastructure design, solutions architecture, asset management and just about every damn thing you could think of. There is no area of IT that I don't have visibility into in some way shape or form. Right now on top of doing all that I'm running the bes server and just designed and launched a solution that allows iphones in the enterprise. I have in the past 4 years gone from hating Apple to loving them. Probably know more about iPhones than Steve Jobs at this point. My focus and passion has always been the security side of the house. I live right outside D.C. in NVA (yes I work in the east coast version of Silicon Valley). Anyway just wanted to say HI officially .

The Value of an External Network Penetration Test
So, in my short lived career of a penetration tester, I have performed around 4 external security assessments. Each assessment consisted of a scope of less than 20 public IP addresses, to which brute force and denial of services attacks were not permitted. On each occassion 1 or more of the following services are identified in during a full TCP and UDP Port scan.
Taking away ports 80, 443 and 8080 where dependant on whether there is a website available publically and not secured so that only particular IP addresses can connect to it I often find that the assessment is not very fruitful.
So what testing do I perform? Well on an FTP service I will check to see if anonymous access is permitted, weak credentials are in use (without running hydra to bruteforce as apparently this is not permitted??), grab banner and check for vulnerabilities in software, on most ocassions I pretty much can only report on the fact that FTP is clear text! Am I missing something or is this how all external network penetration tests are?

Reviews of this property
Our room was very pleasant and the air-con was really appreciated in the heat of July in Rome. We were however taken aback to find another couple in the flat when we arrived. Although they were lovely, it was not ideal to share a bathroom, especially when we had to leave for early morning flights and woke up our neighbours. I don't think this is stated anywhere in the advert and when I commented on this to Apollonia I was told "next time read with more attention and be simply more objective". I had not posted a review until I received the latter message, which I think is somewhat lacking in customer service

I had not posted a review until I received the latter message, which I think is somewhat lacking in customer service!
Agreements were reliably maintained, answered questions in advance in detail.
The accommodation was clean, centrally located, quiet with plenty of space, but 1 common bathroom in the case of write-off of the 2nd room would be little pleasant or also been temporally unfavorable. Great for families, however.
As above-mentioned has not been the case, our stay at Appolonia in Rome was awesome!
Absprachen wurden zuverlässig eingehalten, Fragen im Vorfeld detailliert beantwortet.
Die Unterkunft war sauber, zentral gelegen, ruhig mit ausreichend Platz, jedoch wäre 1 gemeinsames Badezimmer im Falle der Ausbuchung des 2. Zimmers wenig angenehm bzw. auch zeitlich ungünstig gewesen. Für Familien jedoch sehr geeignet.
Da o.g. nicht der Fall war, war unser Aufenthalt bei Appolonia in Rom super!
The apartment is very cozy and comfortable, and is very well situated in a residential area of Trastevere, near the Ministry of Pubblica Istruzione (in Viale Trastevere) and has wi fi. Within 10 minutes walk you can reach the heart of the neighborhood and enjoy. The room is nice, big and cozy, and has a fully equipped private kitchen. He shares an apartment with another single room, making it a very quiet, and the entry is made with safety codes, so you can make the check-in and check-out at any time, which is appreciated much. The owner was very attentive and friendly from the beginning of the reservation. As the noise would only draw the heat during the day (at night no problem, no bother at all) and the fact that a good breakfast to have to make a living. But worth it, repeat when I return to Rome. L'appartamento è molto carino e confortabile, and if trova un bel posto in Trastevere, il Ministero della Pubblica vicino Istruzione, to Viale Trastevere. C'è il wi fi. Il cuore di Trastevere if trova a meno di Dieci minuti to piede. The stanza è large e molto carina accogliente, ed has one fully attrezzata privata cucina. If condivide l'apartment with Un'altra soltanto stanza, per questo e molto tranquillo is Rimane. If può far il il check-in and check-out to qualunque prays Codici per che si di sicurezza Usano per accedere, e questo worth. The proprietary è stata molto gentile e disponibile dal 'inizio della prenotazione.Only the heater makes a lot of noise during the day (but not during the night, which remains silent), and we had to thick for breakfast, as there are many things to eat. In any event, deserves really worth it, ripetirò when I get back to Rome.
El apartamento es muy coqueto y cómodo, y se encuentra muy bien ubicado, en una zona residencial de Trastevere, cerca del Ministerio de la Pubblica Istruzione (en Viale Trastevere) y dispone de wi fi gratuíto. En menos de 10 minutos a pie puedes llegar al corazón del barrio y disfrutarlo. La habitación es bonita, grande y acogedora, y cuenta con cocina privada totalmente equipada. Se comparte el apartamento solo con otra habitación, por lo que es un alojamiento muy tranquilo, y la entrada se hace con códigos de seguridad, asi que se puede hacer el check-in y el check-out a cualquier hora, cosa que se agradece mucho. La propietaria fue muy atenta y amable desde el principio de la reserva. Como única pega pondría el ruido de la calefacción durante el día (por la noche no hay problema, no molesta en absoluto) y el hecho de que para hacer un buen desayuno hay que buscarse la vida. Pero merece la pena, repetiré cuando vuelva a Roma.

Soltanto il riscaldatore fa molto rumore durante il giorno (ma non durante la notte, in cui resta silenzioso), e abbiamo dovuto fare la spessa per la collazione, per quanto non ci sono molte cose da mangiare. In qualunque caso, merita veramente la pena, ripetirò quando torno a Roma.
The neighborhood is very nice and the apartment so well placed that it is sometimes difficult to find. Small flat for the bathroom the shower hose that Demanche and no toilet paper. The apartment is very noisy. And waiting for housing has been long since we arrived when it was busy.
Le quartier est trés sympa et l'appartement tellement bien placé qu'il est parfois compliqué le trouver.
Petit bémol pour la salle de bain le tuyau de douche qui se démanche et pas de papier toilette.
L'appartement reste très bruyant.
Et l'attente pour avoir le logement a été long vu que lors de notre arrivée il était occuper.
Beautiful rooms located with central air conditioning, clean and tidy for a fair price. From here you can explore on foot the most beautiful and important Sehenswürdikkeiten of Rome. The kitchen is fully sufficient to also once even to cook something. Another practical feature is the keyless lock and unlock the doors and gates of the building and the room. A supermarket (Carrefour) and countless bars and cozy restaurants are located nearby. All in all, highly recommended.
Schön central gelegenes Zimmer mit Klimaanlage, sauber und ordentlich zum fairen Preis. Von hier aus kann man zu Fuss die schönsten und wichtigsten Sehenswürdikkeiten von Rom entdecken. Die Küche ist vollkommen ausreichend eingerichtet um sich auch einmal selbst etwas zu kochen. Praktisch ist auch das schlüssellose verriegeln und entriegeln der Türen und Toren zum Haus und zum Zimmer. Ein Einkaufsmarkt (carrefour) und unzählige Bars und gemütliche Restaurants befinden sich in der Nähe. Alles in Allem, sehr zu empfehlen.

Review: OffSec Wifu
Lab guide is most important imo.
it starts out with talking about 802.*, and protocols and chan/freq.
then its about wireless modes.
then its packets, they did a very good job of explaining packets, one at a time, they explain each field and what data in it means.
hardware and antennas are also mentioned in there.
after that aircrack-ng suit stuff starts, it has stuff about each different tool, and it talks mostly about aireplay-ng(nobody wants to wait hours to capture ivs).
packetforge-ng, kismet, airsnarf are also in lab guide and video.
then its about doing attacks (wep[opn,ska], wpa)
4 hours (i finished under hour)
you ssh into their bt3 box, attack AP's crack the key
you report how you did it, what commands you used, and keys to them in 24 hours. then you are done (i hope i get the cert soon)
this course is recommended to ethical n00bs who crack wep by watching videos and not understanding, and young people who are interested in career in infosec.
and for people who are good at this, and do this, they also offer only exam to get the cert.
bad(not really bad) part about this course is, it doesn't have information about tools like cowpatty or other tools(airdrop-ng, mdk3)(i hope they come out with new version), but it doesn't mean its not used today, people still use WEP, and people also use weak passphrases in WPA.
I have learned lots of things that i didn't know from this course, before this i only cracked wep(opn) from youtube videos without knowing what i was doing(thankfully those video didn't tell me to rm -rf /*).
for me this is good point to start(remember i am still in HS)
this is very bad review, so ask me questions, i am better at them.
And recommend stuff for young people..it helps(fo realz).

Does anyone use this wood? I have heard it has excellent rot resistance.
Does anyone use this wood? I have heard it has excellent rot resistance.
It would probably require a special design since about the widest lumber you can find is about 6". Cedar is used however.
use a biscuit and jointer,, and then glue the boards together
Eastern Red Cedar (the tree) is a species of juniper.
Lots of it around here. Smaller trees are commonly used for fenceposts, and it does last a long time.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Have you considered cypress, wide boards should be a none issue and excellent rot resistance!
I don't know much about cypress. I am pretty sure it is mostly in the southeast and I am in the northwest so shipping adds to cost. I am looking to build hive furniture cheaply and on the east side of Oregon juniper is a pest and weed.

The ship Okeanos Explorer brings back images of creatures rarely seen
Catherine Clabby
In the summer of 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Indonesia together explored the deep sea near that archipelago nation. The region's land and shallow seas are among the planet's most biologically diverse, but much of the nearby deep water was a mystery. Two ships, NOAA's Okeanos Explorer and the Indonesian Baruna Jaya IV, mapped nearly 40,000 square kilometers and discovered underwater volcanic features such as cones, rift zones and craters. Sensors profiled water columns and currents, including chemical signatures of hydrothermal vents. An unmanned vehicle fitted with cameras photographed marine life, including multiple species that may be new to science. Stephen Hammond, the mission's chief scientist, briefed American Scientist associate editor Catherine Clabby on the research.
A.S. Part of the government's motivation for this expedition was President Obama's desire to give U.S. scientists more of a chance to collaborate with researchers from a Muslim-majority country. But there were multiple scientific reasons, weren't there?
S.H. Yes. Indonesian seas lie at the heart of the Coral Triangle, an area that includes habitat for hundreds of coral species and thousands of fish species. Also, ocean currents through the area connect the Pacific and Indian oceans and play a role in the global distribution of heat and nutrients—important to understanding both climate change and the distribution and sustenance of the region's many ecosystems. And the area's geologic complexity gives rise to a great many volcanoes. We know from the past several decades of ocean exploration that such localities frequently host very unusual ecosystems characterized by animals that subsist through utilization of the chemical compounds contained in hydrothermal vent fluids.
A.S. What were some of the newer instruments or technologies that made it possible to explore the deep waters near Sangihe and Talaud, two Indonesian island chains?
S.H. A state-of-the-art, high-resolution swath sonar system on the hull of the Okeanos Explorer produced very detailed bathymetric maps. These maps made it possible to identify areas of particular interest for detailed observations using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Secondly, we had the means to transmit high-definition video over satellites from the sea floor to shore-based exploration command centers. From there, U.S. and Indonesian government and university scientists helped direct the expedition in real time.
A.S. Little Hercules dived 27 times and as deep as 3,640 meters while collecting hundreds of hours of video. What was some of the most interesting sea life recorded?
S.H. The geology, and thus the seafloor bathymetry, of the Indonesian region, is very complex. Depths range from shallow reefs within the zone where light penetrates to perpetually dark trench areas with depths in excess of 9 kilometers. What is most interesting depends greatly on the expertise and interests of the observer. In broad terms, however, the very robust ecosystem thriving within the active hydrothermal system on Kawio Barat volcano is fascinating because of the presence of large numbers of (likely chemotrophic) animals clustered close to vigorously venting plumes of magma-heated water and minerals. Also fascinating were the large numbers and never-before-seen diversity and abundance of deep corals. Biologists participating in the expedition estimate that at least several tens of new deep-sea coral species were observed. Likewise, many likely new species of benthic and deep-dwelling organisms were observed, including sea spiders, holothurians (sea cucumbers) and fish. Data from this expedition will be of use not only in expanding our knowledge of the numbers and kinds of animals living in deep Indonesian seas, they will provide new and likely critical information concerning the flow of deep currents and their roles in changing global climate patterns.

In Sightings, American Scientist publishes examples of innovative scientific imaging from diverse research fields.

text: From 1904 Picasso lived in France and was a dominant figure in the avant-garde art movement. He produced what became to be thought of as the first Cubist painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, in 1907 and was, throughout his life, a most original and versatile artist, often making radical changes in his style. His 1937 painting Guernica immortalised the destruction on 26 April 1937 of this Basque town by German aircraft during the Spanish Civil War. In the latter part of his life, he became the grand old master of modern art. He continued to work up to his death in 1972.

Unda has a compound suitable for every part of your body; Unda's assorted compounds are specialized homeopathic medicinal remedies that enable your body to eliminate the accumulation of toxins. These effective supplements were developed in Europe in the early twentieth century' and were based upon traditional Asian medical theory and principles of homeopathy. Viewing each cell of the body as a distinct ecosystem means that each formulation utilizes various natural remedies in order to target specific organs and bodily systems.
With all of the complex and interactive systems working within the human body simultaneously' it only makes sense that no single compound could hope to promote the health of all of them. For that reason' Unda has developed a variety of specialized homeopathic remedies. When your body needs some assistance with kidney conditions' Unda #2 - 0.67 oz (20 ml) by Seroyal is the right choice.
What is the function of the kidneys?
The kidneys—a pair of bean-shaped organs each about the size of a fist—are found near the middle of the back' just below the ribcage; one kidney is on either side of the spine. Each kidney can be seen as a rather advanced machine for recycling blood: every day' your kidneys process approximately 200 quarts of blood to filter out about two quarts of waste products' in addition to extra water. That waste and extra water is transformed into urine' which flows to the bladder through tubes known as ureters; the urine is then stored there until it's released via urination.
Unfortunately' the kidneys don't always function as well as they should. Renal disease can often prevent them from removing waste. If their condition worsens' you may require dialysis or a kidney transplant; although you can survive with only one kidney' doing so means that the healthy functioning of the remaining organ is even more essential. Common conditions include:
If you develop any of those illnesses' Seroyal's Unda #2 can be extremely beneficial. Unda #2 works to provide relief from all of the infections and inflammation that can affect the kidneys.
This supplement is perfect as a remedy for the infectious and febrile diseases that can affect your kidneys. This supplement is also crucial for improving the overall functioning of the kidneys' which includes the critical role they play in your metabolism.
Seroyal is a pharmaceutical company that has been striving to provide patients with the most natural supplements available for almost 30 years. Seroyal prides itself on the reliability' quality and' consistency of its products.

Incredible results
My naturoparhtic physician prescribed 4 different Undated numbers Including Unda #2 by Seroyal. Within an hour or so all of my symptoms resolved. The first time I missed a dozing I noticed a return of symptoms almost immediately Ive been taking them for a couple of months now and I missed a dose the othe Esau with symptoms not returning for a day. Quite an improvement. My body is certainly detoxing and returning to a normal state of being.
Easy to take, not harmful.

Awesome Undas!
We've used the Unda numbers for 2 years now for our toddler. He is on the spectrum and these remedies have proven to be excellent for him, assisting him in his detox journey. I've even used Unda #2 on my youngest on when he was sick (one drop on the wrist), and it helped him immediately. Awesome products. If alcohol bothers your child, gas it off in a bit of warm water.
Easy to take.

Beeswax is a chemical sponge, as Jerry Hayes calls it. It soaks up chemicals and contaminants that the bees bring in or beekeepers are putting in the hive the last couple decasdes. Regular comb replacement is the only soluton. Replacement is not dependent on foundation type. Plastic foundation is easily scraped with a capping scratcher for "crush and strain" harvesting or regular comb replacement.
Small cell and natural cell studies in several states and worldwide have proven ineffective in controlling Varroa or anything else. The spatial relationship changes as bees "regress" so there is no benefit. The bee biology that makes AHB resistant to Varroa is called absconding. AHB leave when the mite load gets high. We are starting to see this with all bees. It goes by another name also - CCD.
Beekeeping is a relative unknown with so many people showing interest and the Internet so willing to show "a better mousetrap" or the "perfect solution" I would put more trust in scientific research than what you can read on the Internet, even this forum, or this post. More thn once I have read ardent seemingly knowledgeable posters here who experience the same challenges a year or two later when they get their first hive.
There is nothing natural about horizontal hives or checkerboarding, but great interest in both by beekeepers in the last couple decades.
