Instead of bánh tét, people from Northern Vietnam wrap bánh chưng for Tết. This past Christmas, we learned to make bánh chưng from Grandma. For Tết in Houston, we demonstrated that the lesson (mostly) stuck.
Rau Om learns to wrap bánh chưng: A video
Bánh Chưng (Square Rice Cake with Mung Bean and Pork Belly)
This past Christmas my grandmother (bà ngoại) taught me how to make bánh chưng. The last time we made bánh chưng together, I was 5. I ran amuck and made a big mess of everything – my grandmother still complains about all the tactics she needed to chase me away or keep me distracted. Nevertheless, "helping" bà ngoại make bánh chưng and staying up watching the adults tend to the fire and the bubbling pot of bánh chưng remain one of my fondest memories. Despite not running amuck and not making as big a mess this time around, learning to make bánh chưng with bà ngoại is another cherished event. It made my grandmother happy, too, finally to have someone help her make bánh chưng again. Maybe making bánh chưng will even become a regular holiday event once more!
Bánh tét, pt. 3
Our bánh tét series continue… The entire process is quite a production, so we definitely have a lot to write about.
Don't know if you notice something strange about the ingredients for bánh tét in this photo
Bedsides sticky rice, there are 2 types of meat and 2 pastes. Counter-clockwise, from the bottom right: pork marinaded with fish sauce and pepper, mung bean paste, lamb marinaded with tamarind and fish sauce, and chickpea paste.
Staying true to our motto of making Vietnamese food that you have always/never had, we experimented with new bánh tét fillings along with traditional ones. The pork in fish sauce and mung bean paste combination is traditional and familiar. For the new combination, we wanted to experiment with meat that has a more assertive flavor than pork, so we settled on lamb. Tamarind followed naturally, because I had always been thinking and wondering about that flavor combination for a while. The decision on chickpea was a little bit more random. We just wanted something other than mung beans and we've had and liked chickpeas in Spanish and Middle Eastern cuisine.
We ended up making 3 bánh tét with the experimental fillings (there were also some hybrid bánh tét where pork was paired with chickpeas). After trying the new bánh tét, we wished we had made more! 🙂 Chickpea paste is definitely more savory than mung bean paste. On the other hand, it is similar enough to mung bean paste that most people who had the pork/chickpeas combination did not notice anything amiss, only that bánh tét was very tasty. We are glad this choice worked out wonderfully. We also loved tamarind lamb! Lamb added a very nice fragrance that permeated bánh tét. Of course, if you can't stand lamb, you probably can't stand this bánh tét.
Happy with our experiment and because Lamp just loves bánh tét, we are actually making another batch of bánh tét this weekend! We need to work out our new ideas for bánh tét, after all.
Stay tuned! 🙂
Preparations for Tết: Bánh Tét, pt. 2
At 2am, our timer alarms went off and we dragged ourselves into the kitchen to take our first batch bánh tét out of the boiling water to drain and dry overnight. This is how they looked the following morning:
And the moment of truth – cutting into our bánh tét:
Here's a closer look, with bánh tét cut into a ready to eat slice and the banana leaves peeled away:
Aesthetically, the center should be more centered (I must have forgotten to massage this roll to distribute the rice more evenly after forming the initial cylinder) but functionally everything looked good: The banana leaves imparted their flavor and color onto the rice. The pork belly were tender and delicious. The rice themselves expanded during the cooking process and formed a solid shell around the beans and meat inside.
This is important: bánh tét and bánh chưng are associated with Tết because of their long shelf life, due in part to this rice shell. The 6 hours of intense boiling achieved sterilization and the thick shell of rice formed a hermetic seal around the nutrient dense, easily spoiled, and delicious center. Many other food associated with Tết such as dưa món (pickled vegetables) and thịt kho tầu (caramelized braised pork and eggs) – are similarly known for their resistance to spoilage. So after an intense day or so of cooking, we had food that would last for weeks, leaving us free to pay visits to family and friends, all of whom are also doing same.
Bánh tét/bánh chưng are also favored gift items during Tết visits, probably to replenish the ones eaten by previous waves of guests. Another common gift are grapefruits for the fruit tray on the ancestors' altar. Just a single grapefruit can sometimes infuse the whole house with a lovely fragrance during the holidays. With that in mind, we put together a care package for parents and grandparents whom we sadly could not visit this year : our homemade bánh tét, a pair of Melogold pomelos, and a jar of our homemade tương ớt (chilli sauce.) Why Melogold specifically? It's our favorite variety of the enormous citrus family. Our first encounter with it was a Toucan Sam like hunt for the source of that lovely scent that wafted across the produce section. In subsequent seasons the scent had not been as strong but the sweet, flavorful taste were still consistent. Why tương ớt? Just because we made some and we thought it was good.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Preparations for Tết (Vietnamese New Year): Making bánh tét
Nothing makes me feel the Tết spirit more than a gathering of the family to make bánh chưng or bánh tét followed by a 6 hour bull session around the fire while bánh is cooking. My family haven't done it since we moved to the States though. A couple of years ago, Bird's parents taught me how to roll bánh tét, so this year we decided to revive the tradition ourselves.
The night before: we soaked 1 bag of glutinous rice in water mixed with lá dứa (pandan leaf) juice (pandan leaves blended in water and strained), soaked shelled mung bean in water, and marinated strips of pork belly in fish sauce and black pepper.
The following day we had more prep work to do. The soaked beans were boiled in water and mushed, resulting in the two big bowls of yellow paste in the picture below. (You begin to see why this is a family activity? There's more prep work yet.)
Next, we drained and seasoned the sticky rice until it was salty to the taste and then mixed in half a can of coconut milk. While the rice marinated, we washed previously frozen banana leaves thoroughly, wiped them dry (this took a lot of time, so plan accordingly), then cut them into foot long sections. Now we're ready to roll.
Oh wait, we should have cut cooking twine into 5 ft long sections (1 per bánh tét to be rolled) and 3 ft long sections (4 per). Ah well.
3 layers of banana leaves are laid down: the first and third layer are oriented with their veins perpendicular to the long side of bánh tét; the middle layer is parallel to it. Next a layer of rice is laid down, then a smaller layer of bean paste, then a strip of pork belly (see above).
Now in reverse – a layer of bean paste, then a layer of rice (not shown). Imagine a Mississippian mound for pork belly royalty:
Next we folded all three layers of banana leaves over and start rolling and tightening:
With a somewhat tight roll bound by banana leaves, we folded close one end so the cylinder can be stood up and be topped off with a layer of sticky rice. The top end we folded close more neatly, then flipped the cylinder over and repeated the process for the other end.
Binding: First we used the 5 ft long twine to bind the 4 sides lengthwise, crossing at the bottom and tying off on the top side. Next each of the 3 ft long section of twine was looped under and around each of the 4 lengthwise sections of twine, tied off under and above one of the 4 designated the main vein. The excess twine is pulled up parallel to the main vein and tied down when the next horizontal section is bound. Eventually all the loose ends are tied up on top become a bánh tét handle:
Goto "3 layers of banana leaves are laid down …" until out of ingredients:
When all the packing and rolling were all done, we placed bánh tét vertically like fission rods in a tall pot of water. They're then cooked for 6 hours in constantly boiling water, with pot lid on tight. Meanwhile, we relaxed, ate, drank, and dozed off with the timer alarms properly set. No bonfire but still a most pleasant time.
Reports on cooked bánh tét and a Tết care package in the next post.

Columbia shuttle disaster concerto gets top music prize
By Michael Roddy
LONDON (Reuters) - A violin concerto by contemporary Hungarian composer Peter Eotvos commemorating the deaths of the space shuttle Columbia's seven crew in 2003 was chosen as the recording of the year on Tuesday by the Gramophone magazine.
English trumpeter Alison Balsom was named classical artist of the year.
The violin of Moldovan virtuoso Patricia Kopatchinskaja "comes close to disintegrating under the force of her spectacular display" the magazine said in awarding its top honor to the recording of Eotvos's "Seven".
The recording on the Naive label, which also includes pieces by Hungarian composers Bartok and Ligeti, is conducted by the prolific Eotvos, who often tackles topical subjects in his compositions.
"It was like being in a Hungarian cosmos," Kopatchinskaja, who could not attend the awards banquet on Tuesday, said in a recorded message.
Two other Hungarians, violinist Barnabas Kelemen and pianist Zoltan Kocsis, won the chamber music award for their recording of Bartok's sonatas for violin.
London-born classical guitarist Julian Bream, who used to earn money as a boy playing piano in his grandmother's pub in Battersea, was given a lifetime achievement award.
"It was to achieve something that was difficult on an instrument no one cared about, really," Bream, 80, said by way of explanation of why he took up the guitar. Continued...

Nishiken - The Song
I played Waves Crashing Against the Cliff and Wind Wispering Through the Trees and Raining in the Forest and Starlight Over Water, Wind Blowing across the Rocks and Behind the Waterfall, The Moonlight Shines and The Mist Rises and so many more I don't remember. I played and played until the moon rose over the trees and the only noise was the sound of the music. I was to busy off in the world of The Sun Rises Over the Mountain to care that I was hungry, or that I was in a forest I didn't know, or anything else. I was one with the song and I was the song. And I played on and on and on, and the notes drifted away on the wind.

Nano-composite solid polymer electrolytes for solid state ionic devices

Recent research efforts to improve the ambient temperature conductivity in polyethylene oxide (PEO) based solid polymer electrolytes have been directed towards the incorporation of ultra-fine nano-sized particles of ceramic fillers such as Al2O3, γ-LiAlO2, SiO2 and TiO2 into the polymer electrolyte. In these PEO based nano-composite polymer electrolytes, conductivity enhancements of up to two orders of magnitude have been achieved. Thermal, electrical conductivity and dielectric relaxation measurements performed on several nano-composite polymer electrolyte systems have shown that the degree of enhancement depends primarily on the grain size. In this paper, results of three nano-composite polymer electrolyte systems, PEO:LiTFSI:Al2O3, PEO:LiTf:Al2O3 and PEO:LiTf: SiO2 are discussed as representative examples. It is suggested that the conductivity enhancement is due to the creation of additional sites and favourable conduction pathways for ionic transport through Lewis acidbase type interactions between the filler surface groups (H/OH) and the ionic species.

Celtx 2.0 Media Pre-production Software: Pay-for Service
The new Celtx 2.0 is based on Mozilla technology, but the commercialization of its Celtx Studios might alienate some potential users.
Attention scriptwriters and storyboarders: media pre-production software Celtx is out in a new version 2.0 - but brings some non-free services. The Canadian company certainly made a major version change with the release, basing it fully on the XML User Interface Language (XUL) from Mozilla's Firefox 3.0. This support should better integrate the Celtx web services so that users can collaborate on their scripts, storyboards, character development and production notes over the Internet. The developers also took advantage of other Mozilla features.
The Celtx Studios services, for storage, sharing, archives and previews, is the non-free part of the deal. After a commercial beta that ends March 24, the services will have a $50 per year subscription fee - not so much a problem, but which might make it a bit less attractive for some authors.
The software provides a few enhancements and improvements available even to the non-paying public. The Firefox 3 base also brings along the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine resulting in faster load times for the graphical interface. Mozilla's Sunbird 0.8 serves as calendar and production scheduler. Users can also extend the software through add-ons using the Toolbox. Dictionaries are provided for the several language versions beside English.
The numerous bug fixes address, among other things, usability issues. Numerous language download sites are available.
Celtx positions itself as a soup-to-nuts solution for the entire media pre-production process - scripts, storyboards, character development, scheduling and production reports. It is used by independent filmmakers and at many universities and film schools worldwide.

The cost of a single brick on a London home has increased by 65 per cent to over the last 10 years to reach £118.
This is expected to rise to £150 by 2020, according to new research by Barclays Mortgages and the Centre for Economics and Business Research.
The study calculates the value of a single brick found in typical homes across the UK, to reveal the difference in property prices.*
Overall, the average per brick cost in inner-London boroughs has risen faster than in the outer edges of the capital.
In Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster, the cost per brick has more than doubled during the past decade, rising to £477 and £362, respectively.
Yet every borough has seen growth of at least 30 per cent. Plus, the most affordable areas of the capital - including east London's Barking and Dagenham and south London's Croydon - are expected to see some of the strongest rises over the next four years.
"Our latest research shows that the average house price is increasing at a considerable rate in the UK," says Raheel Ahmed, head of Barclays Mortgages.
"There is still great disparity in the capital with bricks in Kensington and Chelsea costing four times as much as London as a whole.
"However it is particularly encouraging to see there are still more affordable areas for buyers such as Barking and Dagenham, Croydon and Newham."
The regional picture
Nationally, the figures reveal that the cost of single brick has increased 33 per cent in the past decade to £47.44.
This is more than 50 times higher than the price of a brick from a DIY shop, which costs on average 89p.
"It is fascinating to see just how valuable each brick that makes up a home works out to be, and how this can change over time," says Sarah Beeny, UK property expert.
"It really shows that property can be a great investment, and I would encourage people to get on the property ladder as soon as they can, even if this means looking in a new area where those all-important bricks are a little more purse-friendly!"
Of course, the cost of bricks varies significantly across the UK, with Oxford (£95.50) and Cambridge (£91.60) home to the second most expensive bricks in Britain after London.
Meanwhile the cheapest bricks can be found in Belfast (£22.09), Glasgow (£22.55) and Liverpool (£25.87).
"It is particularly interesting to see the regions and cities outside of London which are experiencing significant growth in house prices," says Ahmed.
"While a North-South divide does remain, cities such as Sheffield, Nottingham and Leicester are experiencing strong growth, and this is forecast to continue through to 2020. "It is also encouraging to see cities that have slowed down in growth, such as Belfast, showing signs of recovery in the future."
*More on how the cost was calculated: utilising data on average floor size, floor height (2.5m) and the composition of property stock from sources, including the Census and the English Housing Survey, the Cebr calculated an average number of bricks found in a property within each of the areas analysed.

In a ground-breaking deal which paves the way for full-blown competition and the emergence of major postal rivals, Royal Mail today signed an agreement with courier group Business Post to open up its market. The deal is the first of its kind in Europe.
From April, a Business Post subsidiary branded UK Mail is to be allowed to take big mailing customers away from the Royal Mail.
UK Mail will initially be aiming at the business market offering to handle the post of big mailing houses like mobile phone companies or financial firms.
However, Business Post sees this as just the start of a larger attack on the Royal Mail's monopoly.
"We will see how this goes," said Business Post managing director Paul Carvell. "Initially we are aiming for just three per cent of the £5 billion business mail market. That will mean £150 million a year in turnover for us, which will double our business."
The competitive arrangement works by Business Post taking over the mail needs of major customers, sorting the post and then getting it to Royal Mail's main delivery centres, from where the Royal Mail's 80,000 ordinary postmen and women deliver it.
For this so-called "final mile" delivery Business Post will be paying Royal Mail between 13p and 13.75p per letter.
The price has been a major sticking point and the agreement comes after two and half years of negotiations. The postal regulator Postcomm had previously argued that this access to the Royal Mail's delivery network should cost competitors just 11.46p per item of post, a rate which chairman Allan Leighton said would put Royal Mail out of business.
Business Post, set up by brothers Peter and Michal Kane, has been in operation for 30 years. The deal with Royal Mail is likely to increase their huge private fortune which already stands at about £170 million as owners of 60 per cent of Business Post.
Royal Mail chief executive Adam Crozier said: "This is a very good deal for both parties and is the first of its kind. It gives us the flexibility to work with Business Post but also compete with them."
The type of customers Business Post is targeting typically pay Royal Mail around 18p to 19p to deliver their post. Business Post will aim to undercut the Royal Mail on price and offer "time definite" guarantees of delivering within two days. If customers want a faster service they have the option to remain with Royal Mail.

UFC: Struve vs Miocic Weigh-Ins (Video & Results)
Anyone knows why Nelson vs Johnson was a 175 catchweight bout? Is it due to Johnson being a short notice replacement?
He just fought a month ago. Not very sure why he isn't able to cut the weight...and he came in at 183, hmm.
Edit: Whats up with Kingsbury? Made me laugh. That beard.
Can anyone shed some light on that catchweight bout?
DaMarques Johnson only took the fight on 2 weeks notice, so i guess he said he wouldnt be able to make 170.

text: Missed you all while we were in Vermont, but it was nice to get away! Here's my question: While we were gone, the Tinkerbell on the Map figurine from DL arrived (I had put my name on a waiting list if they had some left over after the event and they did I guess!). Anyway, I know have three Disney figurines...all in their boxes! (Another Tinkerbell one, and a Belle one from the DS...the ones that came with the free pin) I just don't know how best to display them. With three kids, I'm a little afriad to just put them out on a shelf somewhere, but I don't really have any kind of cabinet behind glass that I can use. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!

Fall: The Perfect Time To Escape To A National Lakeshore
Taiga is a word of just two syllables, and yet it connotes remoteness. Its synonym – boreal – is slightly more familiar, though it too conjures the distant, the mysterious. But if you travel to the Great Lakes, to the national lakeshores that line the southern shores of those inland oceans known as Superior and Michigan, you can find yourself deep in the coniferous forests, the taiga or boreal forests, more familiar to the Canadian landscapes to the north.

Disneyland: Little Dog Lost (1963)
Last shown Dec 6 1999 ?
I guess I wasn't alone when I watched this movie late one night on the Disney Channel. I see by the reviews here that it made a lasting impression on a few of us. I might have seen it when it was on originally. It was a ritual for our family to watch the Disney show on Sunday nights at my grandmothers place. And this was such a great surprise. I loved the story and the music and the photography. The dog actors were perfect. I recognized the story from the book Hurry Home Candy. But I also owned a book called Little Lost Dog with a Corgi in it. I think they just put the two together. And it works. The ending will make you grab a box of tissues. I wish Disney channel would start showing the old stuff again late at night. After finding this film, I became a regular late night Disney viewer. Disney should have enough stuff to have a Vintage Disney Channel.

My lot had been here in 1998 when there was still a great deal of re-construction going on in the old city. The Nazis had flattened the place in 1944 whilst in retreat from the Russians.

This edition of the "Weed Control Handbook" provides basic information about weeds and herbicides and sets out the principles which govern techniques of weed control in a wide range of situations. The chapters have been written by specialists drawn from government research and advisory organisations, from industry and from educational establishments. All information has been extensively revised and rewritten in line with developments in weed science and technology. Although the handbook deals primarily with weed problems in temperate climates, and in particular with the practice of weed control in the United Kingdom, the principles discussed have much wider application and will be of interest to those concerned with weed science elsewhere in the world.

On 26 May, Leyton Orient Football Stadium, next to Olympic Park, will be opening its gates to people of prayer. REV ROSY ASHLEY explains why
On Pentecost Saturday, 9,000 worshippers are expected to gather at Leyton Orient to pray for the 2012 Games.
Branded Light the Fire, it will bring together Christians from different churches across London and beyond.
Also joining in will be worship leaders including Jason Upton, Noel Robinson and Godfrey Birtill – and prayer leaders such as Rachel Hickson (Heartcry), Elcio Lodos (International House of Prayer, London), and Jonathan Oloyede (Global Day of Prayer).
Light the Fire is part of a wider vision called London's Burning 2012 which began at The Cornerstone Church in Leyton as a response to God's call for a worship and prayer initiative in the area.
Christians there felt that just as the Great Fire of London ended the Black Death by cleansing the city, so it seemed that God was wanting to release love "blazing like a mighty fire" over the capital and then the UK , bringing joy, healing and life.
This year is an exciting time for London and the UK. God has given the Church an amazing opportunity to share his love with the thousands of visitors flocking to the capital.
Already 24/7 prayer and worship nights are preparing the way. We're really excited about all that God has in store.
London's Burning is partnering with Burn 24-7 to hold 30 days of non-stop worship and prayer, starting on 14 July and running throughout the Olympics. Monthly 'Burn' nights of worship and prayer have already started in central and East London.
London's Burning is also working with Healing on the Streets (HOTS) so that visitors to the Olympics have the opportunity to encounter God's healing love.
Many churches have signed up for tickets to Light the Fire and are arranging to send HOTS missionaries, intercessors and worshippers for the events scheduled during the Games.
For more information about how you can get involved visit www.londonsburning2012.org.uk or contact the team on firstname.lastname@example.com or call 020 8558 6935.

Our troubles are over – a house price survey from Nationwide has found that property prices have gone up by 1.2 per cent in a month, a rise in two of the last three months. Suddenly, the lender says, the annual rate of decline as improved dramatically from -15 per cent to -11.3 per cent, so that the average home is worth over £2,000 more than it was four weeks ago. The talk is now of having found the bottom of the housing slump.
Well, that wasn't too bad after all. Roll on a soaring market and economic prosperity. Where's that credit card application gone?
But hang on, one stat does not a recovery make, especially in this industry, and a totally different report created from totally different numbers due out tomorrow is expected to show no change at all. So why the wildly varying results?
This year's property sales volumes are half what they are in a normal year and the market is so small that any change is going to show up as a huge fluctuation. Even Nationwide's own boffin said: "It is still too early to say that the market is turning definitively. During the downturn of the early 1990s, there were many months during which prices rose, only to fall back down again in subsequent periods."
It's important to note that each of these surveys is based on that single lender's numbers – just the properties on their own books – not the entire country. If we're not careful, we may be pinning our hopes of a recovery on the fact that someone has managed to shift their three-bed semi in Huddersfield.
Then there's the small problem that each survey measures different things, and woe betide you if you assumed that they were about the prices UK houses sell for. The Nationwide's monthly figures are based on their "lending data for properties at the post-survey approval stage" in the UK. Halifax gets its numbers in the same way, so comparing these two reports may be a good start as together they cover a sizeable chunk of the UK's mortgage market. That's approvals, mind. But the stats released by the Department for Communities and Local Government looks at mortgage completions, not all the mortgages approved.
At this stage, it all gets really sketchy. RICS – the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors – is quite a heavyweight, and its survey is the one the Bank of England considers when it decides interest rates. But its method is an odd one, drawing its conclusions by comparing the number of chartered surveyors who reported a rise in new buyer inquiries in any given month to the number who reported a fall. And Rightmove's numbers are even more fluffy, based on a monthly sample of the asking prices of the properties on its website, but only those in England and Wales.
Oh, and when any of them talk about "the greatest increase – or decrease – on record" bear in mind those records all started in different, and surprisingly recent, years. RICS has the longest running statistics, and they only go back to 1978.
Clearly trying to glean real meaning from a single lender's figures is like panning for gold in custard. It may all look promising but there's little of intrinsic value to get a grip on.
And if you are trying to pin down the price that your home will settle at, let's not forget that repossessions are on the up and unemployment will continue to rise, with a negative knock on effect that is yet to be felt in our bricks and mortar.
That said, if you really must have a positive spin, another chief economist – Simon Ward at Henderson Global Investors – is talking of the bottom of the trough, arguing that forced sales may not be as widespread as we once feared because of the historically low cost of borrowing.
"A key difference from prior busts is the low level of mortgage interest rates, which is allowing many struggling borrowers to continue to service their loans," he says. "The Council of Mortgage Lenders reported last week that repossessions and arrears cases rose by less than feared in the first quarter. The CML intends to revise down its earlier forecast of 75,000 repossessions in 2009. With less distressed selling, downward pressure on prices from rising supply is much less than in prior downturns. According to RICS, the number of unsold homes on the books of the average estate agent stood at 69 in April – far below peaks of 166 and 196 in the last two major housing downturns. Meanwhile, buyer inquiries have picked up recently."

Majorca restaurants
An insider's guide to the best places to eat in Majorca, including Michelin-starred restaurants, traditional Majorcan cuisine and waterside tavernas. By Annie Bennett, Telegraph Travel's Majorca expert.
Majorca has become a real foodie destination, with chefs reviving traditional local dishes. Gastronomic experiences range from an authentic paella on the beach to rustic roasts in farmhouse restaurants in the interior and Michelin-standard cuisine in the smarter resorts.
Simply Fosh (1)
British chef Marc Fosh creates superlative Mediterranean dishes using the best local produce. Simply Fosh was awarded a Michelin star in 2014. The menu here changes seasonally, but might include beetroot gazpacho with apple vodka jelly, hake with artichoke-tomato risotto and loin of hare with poached pear. Try it out with the bargain set lunch for around €26 and you'll definitely return for a push-the-boat-out dinner. Fosh also runs Misa Braseria + Bar (misabraseria.com), which serves Majorcan specialities in a relaxed, rustic chic setting.
Location: Hotel Convent de la Missió, La Missió 7
Contact: 00 34 971 720114; simplyfosh.com
Price: about £60 for two courses, with wine. Cards accepted
Reservations: essential
Opening times: lunch and dinner, Mon-Sat
Es Molí d'en Bou (2)
Michelin-starred Tomeu Caldentey moved his restaurant from an old windmill to a swish location in the resort of Sa Coma south of Artà and Capdepera on the east coast. Slick minimalism has replaced rural charm, but the new setting is more appropriate for one of Spain's top restaurants. This is creative Majorcan cuisine at its best, with startling combinations of flavour and texture. The tasting menu at lunch on weekdays is astounding value for this standard of food.
Location: Protur Sa Coma Hotel, Calle Liles, Sa Coma

With a fabulous location overlooking the pretty harbour in Port de Sóller, eating here feels really special. The locally-caught fish is simply grilled, then served with tasty sauces.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 37 reviews
Not a hotel but an apartment for independent travel. Perfect location close to the metro and teams. Veronica at the reception was very helpful in giving us ideas about what to see in a very short stay.
I was in Milan for a conference and chose this apartment hotel because I needed space to do some work. The building and neighborhood was nice. The room seemed newly renovated and was comfortable. My complaints are that I did not get the room that I had payed for. I had payed for a room with a separate kitchen, but when I checked in I was told that they did not have a room that size available and asked if the smaller room was ok and as compensation I would be given a coffee machine in the room. This was on Friday morning, so my apartment was not ready yet. I was given the keys and left my bag and went to my conference. I came back on Friday evening discovering that I had not been given a coffee machine. The following two days that I stayed there was Saturday and Sunday. I did not see anyone working during those days so I had no way of of complaining. My second complaint is that the cleanliness was not satisfactory. There were dirty cups in cupboard when I came and the cleaning of the room was very limited. I could see that someone had been in the room because the towel was folded but except from that nothing else had been done. The bed was not even made.
First time in Milan and excellent alternative to the usual expensive hotels in the area. Location is near Porta Romana metro station and convenient to stores and restaurants. Very quiet residential area.
I just want to warn everybody that the hours listed are not accurate. We showed up at 15:00 and nobody was there to check us in. We are from out of the country and had no way of contacting the business since we did not have an international phone plan. We waited for almost an hour before we decided to try and find someone who would let us use their phone to call. A couple hours after arriving we finally got a hold of someone to let us in. When I tried to explain the situation and how we had been waiting the girl lectured me on how "people usually call to be let in" and how she is not there all the time. She didn't understand that we didn't have a phone to call. I explained that all she has to do is update the information on hotels.com so I could have known and would have booked elsewhere. I was particularly cautious not to book places with limited hours due to our situation. The hours on hotels.com say they are in the office from 8:00-19:00 and it's not fair to wait 2 hours to be let in. Anyways after all that we were let into the room. It was an amazing place I would recommend staying there but just be cautious about the hours.
Great location close to everything a slight walk to the metro. No oven but with a good size fridge and pot and pans. Very quiet location in a quiet neighboourhood with some very nice cafes. A fair walk from the metro station, but a nice flat walk.

For many of us, email is a necessary evil. Necessary because most of the business world still uses email to communicate important information, evil because it can end up controlling your life.

But there's one selfish act you can take to make the experience a little better for yourself – scheduling.

The apartment was very clean and provides all the essentials- clean linens and towels, plenty of blankets and sheets, a coffee make and a blow dryer. The location is approx 20 minutes from the airport and has plenty of safe parking.
Elena, out hostess, was very helpful and friendly. The wifi worked well. There is a small grocery store a few steps from the apartment, and also the bus station that will take you to Venice.
Samuel and Elena was very friendly and helpful. Bus was in the near (10 min.) and it drive directly in the Heart of Venezia: 2,60 Euro on way. To Supermarket is 5 min. The Appartment was good and modern, but it is not really perfect for 2 couples, because is only one big double bed. The rest is one sofa bed (little small for two persons) and one little, extra bed and in another room. So, for 1 couple and 2 persons perfect, but not for 2 couple.
The apartment was clean and well presented. There was also enough equipment for us to prepare meals in the kitchen.
Samuel was a pleasant and friendly host, explaining where all of the local amenities were and how to get to them. The private parking was very useful for us as we came with a car.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Perfect host, we highly recommend it. Your sister is an angel
The house was excellent, more than we would expected!!!
Samuel and his sister were always available and very helpful.
We (4 adults + 2 children) had a very pleasant stay and would recommend Villa Aurora any time.
Thanks Samuel! Thanks Elena!
Nice and clean apartment. We stayed 3 nights with our family of 4 to visit Venice, Treviso and Caorle beach.
The apartment is clean and has enough space. Nothing fancy, but it does the job of providing a comfortable place to sleep. The layout is a bit awkward with the living room sandwiched between the bedroom and the kitchen, with no windows.
Also, no airco, and the apartment gets really hot. We were there in July with 30+ degree days, which made the apartment really hot, also during the night.
Located on the first floor, with no elevator, so be prepared for hauling luggage if you're travelling heavy (like us).
Internet worked great.
Elena was very helpful and went out of her way to provide us directions on everything.
Rather than taking the bus, we went to Venice by car (15 mins). Leaving the car at Piazzale Roma and paying the 29 euro parking fee was almost the same as the bus would have cost, and many times more convenient.
Overall, a recommended place to stay.
Great property and location for access to Venice. Samuel and Elena were both very helpful in all communications and with local information. hope to stay here again. Many Thanks
Apartment very nice. Samuel dear. The bus to Venice in ten minutes on foot. The journey takes twenty minutes. Supermarket around the corner. Only one thing was missing to perfection - wine opener :-)
But otherwise everything super, beautiful holiday.
Was a very nice stay. Elena and Samuel were very frindly and helpful. The apartment was very cleanly big and good! Thank you!

The Benefits Of Extra Practice
Among the many things affected by the lockout this offseason, perhaps the most negative impact was felt on the incoming rookies and first year players with new teams who have yet to log many practice hours in their new schemes. For the Chargers with many young faces on this year's roster, that is certainly a concern of the coaching staff as they attempt to ready their club for the fast approaching regular season.
With an upcoming game on the preseason docket against the Dallas Cowboys slated for Saturday, the Bolts were pressed to get anything new installed in their game plan before that contest was set to kickoff. Thanks to NBC moving that game to Sunday evening instead, San Diego was given an additional 24 hours and two practices to fine tune things on their 10 day break between games.
A number of new players have been trying to get acclimated to the Chargers' system over the past few weeks and any added practice time is welcome according to the coaching staff. Of the extra days, Head Coach Norv Turner said: "This week, to me, is about our football team taking a big step and when we're done with the Dallas game, us being significantly better than we are right now." Much of that anticipated improvement is expected to take place because the starters are expected to play a great deal more than the 10 snaps they saw against the Seattle Seahawks.
The first team offense looked absolutely amazing on their one series against the Seahawks with Philip Rivers marching the team down the field for a touchdown in no time at all on that drive. Where the offense could really use some improvement however is in the running game where second year back Ryan Mathews needs to make more decisive moves at the line of scrimmage and get his pad level low while gaining positive yardage. His hesitance when approaching the line is definitely troubling to see as the Bolts desperately need a more balanced attack to keep opposing defenses honest during the coming season.
Mathews' lack of stark improvement coupled with Mike Tolbert's solid showing during the 2010 campaign nearly forced Coach Turner to pronounce the two as a shared backfield. There was plenty of talk about Mathews not being in great shape coming into camp, but he is trying to get past that already as he says that this year: "I'm not as nervous. It's my second year. I haven't been through my second year, but coming into this camp it shows me it's a lot different." Even though Mathews doesn't lack confidence, Turner was quite resolute in his declaration that there would be a two-back system in place saying at the end of last year: "This game has become so physical. You see so many eight-man fronts, and you want to run the ball. It saves them for a season and for a career." So while Mathews will see plenty of time, Turner has indicated that the starting running back will be dictated by the defense and the situation of the game."
There should be plenty of opportunities for either back to have success this year as the Bolts look to balance things out in 2011, but don't expect the philosophy to take a total one-eighty by any means.
Where the offense could receive an unexpected lift however is in the wide receiving corps where Patrick Crayton is one hundred percent and ready to contribute while many believe that last year's underground phenom Seyi Ajirotutu is primed for a breakout season. Given the fact that the team drafted Vincent Brown in the third round and still has both Malcom Floyd and Vincent Jackson at the position as well, it seemed as if Ajirotutu would be a roster cut coming into the year.
That forced the relative unknown until midway through the 2010 season to dedicate himself into becoming a more complete player and really improving on his special teams play. The once long shot to even make the team is now one of the most enthusiastic players on kick coverage in practice and has shown a real passion for the little things within the game. Having a player like Ajirotutu showing heart and desire to make things happen on special teams goes a long way in setting a great example for everyone in the locker room in what is important for this team in 2011.
Perhaps the final piece to solidifying that fervor for making a deep playoff run in 2011 was set in place this past Friday afternoon when the Bolts officially welcomed back inside linebacker Stephen Cooper on a one-year deal at the veteran minimum salary. Many thought that Coop would be a cap casualty this season with more lucrative offers elsewhere, but as it turned out the Chargers were able to keep him in house at a bargain basement price. Getting his leadership back in the locker room is a huge positive for the young linebackers that the team is trying to groom for this season as well as years down the line. Obviously the signing of Takeo Spikes was also made with that same mindset as his 14 years experience along with Cooper's 9 years will provide the young players like Donald Butler and Jonas Mouton with veteran standards to live up to.
With everything coming together for this Chargers team in these heightened weeks of preparation leading up to the start of the regular season, hopes are rightfully high among the majority of the fan base. There is definite reason for optimism and the Bolts will be trying to validate that confidence with their good play on the field as the preseason progresses.
Now it's your turn to give your take. How important do you think the extra day with two practices is to the team's preparation leading up to the preseason game against Dallas on Sunday? Do you expect to see Mathews carry the load in the Chargers' backfield this season or will he and Tolbert have a pretty even split when it's all said and done? Will Ajirotutu still have some spot duty at wide receiver this season or do you see him as solely a contributor on special teams in 2011? What kind of an impact will both Cooper and Spikes being in the linebacking corps have on the Chargers' extremely young yet talented group? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below!

This complete monograph presents 89 of Meier's buildings, documenting the principal stages of Meier's career in chronological order, from his early private homes and residential buildings - such as the two large complexes of Twin Parks, Bronx, New York, and the Bronx Development Center - to recent major projects in the United States and in several European countries, including Italy. Among the well-known works in this volume are the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, and the church of Dives in Misericordia, Rome. In the early 1970s, Meier was one of the "New York Five," an informal group of East Coast architects who shared a preference for new and original contributions to the modern tradition and shaped an alternative to the "gray" architecture that dominated highrise East Coast buildings at the time.
