This gorgeous hotel right on the Nungwi beach was the perfect end to our honeymoon after a week long safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We stayed in a gorgeous roof-top apartment with its own balcony. The pool was a welcome relief from the heat of the beach and staffed by a very talented and multilingual group of highly entertaining bar men. At first we planned to be discrete about being on our honeymoon but soon discovered that this is a very gay friendly establishment.
They organized a special romantic dinner on the beach with complimentary bubbly, which was very special. Th food was excellent. All the staff were amazing and the attention to detail continued even after we left. My wife discovered she had accidentally left her stamps in the taxi that dropped us off. We called to let them know in case they could locate the taxi driver and arrange for them to be dropped off. Within a few hours the stamps were delivered!
Thank you to everyone at the Z Hotel for making our stay so special. It was truly amazing!

Since fiscal 2008, both energy consumption volume and unit energy consumption at refineries and petrochemical plants have stayed roughly the same. ost Kyoto rotocol (2013 and beyond) Based on the ct on the Rational Use of Energy, we are targeting an average annual reduction of 1% in unit energy consumption in the medium term. Fiscal 2013 unit energy consumption was 8.89 l/kl at refineries and kl/t at petrochemical plants, 0.2% and 3.1% year-on-year reductions, respectively. *1 Voluntary action plans: (1) etroleum industry (etroleum ssociation of Japan): Working to achieve a 13% average reduction in unit energy consumption from fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2012 compared with fiscal 1990 level; (2) etrochemical industry (Japan hemical Industry ssociation): Working to reduce unit energy consumption on average from fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2012 to 80% of fiscal 1990 level. roduction Volumes, Total Energy onsumption (rude Oil Equivalent) and Unit Energy onsumption at Refineries and etrochemical lants Refineries romote efficient shipping, including large-sized shipping lots, optimized shipping bases and modal shifts 9.83 kl/million t-km (6.7% increase vs. fiscal 2012) lthough we increased the efficiency of shipping lots according to plan, unit energy consumption increased due mainly to falling demand for fuel oil and revisions to the supply structure romote efficient shipping, including large-sized shipping lots, optimized shipping bases and modal shifts Reduce unit energy consumption by an average of 1% per year on a mediumterm basis By encouraging energy conservation in our activities, we help reduce environmental impact through lower emissions of O 2, sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) while saving energy resources and cutting supply costs to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society. Energy onservation in the Manufacturing Sector Idemitsu refineries and petrochemical plants account for a significant portion of the total energy consumption of the Idemitsu Group. Therefore, energy conservation activities undertaken at Group refineries and petrochemical plants contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Because petroleum products and petrochemicals are directly connected with daily life and industrial activities, our basic policy is to stably supply said items in volumes commensurate with the level of demand. ccordingly, our approach to energy conservation is not predicated on a reduction in total energy consumption volume but on efforts to lower unit energy consumption. s the goals set out in the first commitment period of the Kyoto rotocol have already been met, we updated the target levels for fiscal 2013 and beyond. Scope of collection: The Hokkaido, hiba, ichi and Tokuyama refineries Total energy consumption is calculated using Idemitsu standards, which are based on the etroleum ssociation of Japan s March 2007 policy in response to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions alculating, Reporting and isclosure System for the Oil Refining Industry. 59

O 2 from energy consumption makes up the majority of greenhouse gases emitted in Japan by the Idemitsu Group, with over 98% being emitted by refineries and petrochemical plants. In ustralia, the Idemitsu Group holds interests in four coal mines: the Ensham, Muswellbrook, Boggabri and Tarrawonga mines. These four mines produce a combined total of 11 million tons of high-grade coal every year. In fiscal 2013, we began replacing the diesel fuel used to power the heavy machinery employed in open cut mining at the Muswellbrook, Boggabri and Ensham mines with biodiesel fuel in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The biodiesel fuel is supplied by Freedom Energy Holdings ty Ltd., an independent ustralian petroleum products distributor acquired by the Idemitsu Group in fiscal We estimate that we reduced the amount of O 2 emitted in fiscal 2013 by 25,000 tons, or 13%, for the year.

3 Energy onservation in the omestic Transport Sector Energy onservation in the Ocean-Going Transportation Sector In accordance with the ct on the Rational Use of Energy, Idemitsu is working toward a target of reducing unit energy consumption by 1% annually on average over the medium to long term. To achieve this goal, we encourage energy conservation in the transport sector (as a consignor) by promoting large-sized shipping lots on inland tankers and tanker trucks as well as by eliminating operational inefficiencies resulting from nonshipment. In fiscal 2013, although we aimed to improve the efficiency of our distribution through larger shipping lots and the optimization of our shipping bases, unit energy consumption rose 6.6% from the previous year due mainly to reduced demand. O 2 Emissions as onsignor Idemitsu Tanker, which handles the Group s oceangoing transportation sector, operates seventeen tankers. Of that number, the company engages in the ship management *8 of a total of seven tankers, including both owned and long-term chartered vessels. The vessel Nissho Maru, built in fiscal 2004, minimizes energy loss through the use of an additional thrusting fin (T fin) fitted to each side of its helm to save energy. The Idemitsu Maru, built in fiscal 2007, is also equipped with T fins in addition to an electronically controlled engine (flex engine) for fuel-efficient operation. The OLLO REM, which was constructed in 2014, is equipped with the latest energy conservation technology, including a semicircular duct *9 and SURF-BULB, *10 while featuring an up-to-date electronically controlled engine and an improved hull configuration. s a result, the vessel delivers about 13% better fuel efficiency than the IEMITSU MRU. Exhaust gas economizers, which are currently installed on all our ships under management, recover exhaust heat from the main engine system to help the boilers generate steam. This enables the steam turbine electric generator system to provide nearly all the onboard power needed while the ships are at sea. Moreover, we actively promote slower tanker speeds and, in our day-to-day transport operations, strive to reduce fuel consumption and conserve energy through efficient ship assignment, setting such targets as reducing the stand-by time at sea to less than one day. Note: LG not included since it uses a different method of calculation Breakdown of FY2013 O2 Emissions as onsignor Semicircular duct (source: Japan Marine United orporation) SURF-BULB (source: Japan Marine United orporation) *8 Ship management: To maintain the assigned ship classification, which is required to actually operate a ship at sea, and to operate a ship in a fully seaworthy state by providing necessary crew as well as stores, lubricants and other expendables. *9 Semicircular duct: device used to improve fuel efficiency by around 3% to 8% by recovering the energy of longitudinal vortices, which are created near the stern, to produce thrust. *10 Swept-back Up-thrusting Rudder Fin (SURF) with BULB. device used to improve fuel efficiency by around 3% to 5% by recovering the energy of the hub vortex, which is created behind the propeller, to produce thrust.

4 Energy onservation at Service Stations To reduce O 2 emissions from service stations, Idemitsu had switched to LEs for lighting for 1,174 sign poles at 3,786 Idemitsu service stations (as of the end of March 2014) throughout Japan. The number of service stations providing electric vehicle recharging services, which were launched in fiscal 2010, was four as of ecember ontributing to Energy onservation at the onsumption Stage Issues/ and romoting our renewable energy romote green electric power Green electric power sales volume: 300 million kwh ontinue sales activities with an emphasis on environmental performance Sold green electric power primarily to customers who value environmental friendliness ontinue to sell green electric power, emphasizing its environmental friendliness Expand sales of green electric power, emphasizing its environmental friendliness Enhancing lineup of eco-friendly products and services and expanding sales Expand sales volume of OLE materials, organic photoreceptor resin and inorganic electronic materials Expand our lineup of environmentally friendly agri-bio products Begin new sales: gricultural/environmental greening fields: 2 products Livestock field: 1 product Expand sales of energysaving engine oil Increase sales volume (101% vs. fiscal 2012) of energy-saving engine oil (ZERO EO MELIST ) for gasoline-engine vehicles and energy-saving engine oil (OLLOIL H 2 Series) for diesel engine vehicles with F 100% or higher vs. fiscal 2012 Began new sales: Environmental greening fields: 2 products Livestock field: 1 product EO MELIST : 120% H 2 Series: 108% In October 2013, launched new brand of fuel-efficient oil and expanded range of fuelefficient oils Expand sales volume of OLE materials, organic photoreceptor resin and inorganic electronic materials Begin new sales: Environmental greening fields: 1 product Livestock field: 2 products Increase sales vs. fiscal 2013: EO MELIST : 107% H 2 Series: 101% Expand sales volume of OLE materials, organic photoreceptor resin and inorganic electronic materials for three consecutive years Expand eco-friendly products and services Increase sales in Japan by 107% and promote sales overseas romote wind power Maintain stable power supply operations with an output over 100 million kwh romote solar power omplete construction and begin operations of the Moji No. 1 and No. 2 power stations (a total of 2.9MW by November) and the Himeji ower Station (10MW by March) romote biomass power Move ahead with construction, aiming to begin operations of a 5 MW power station in pril 2015 Establish a base for commercializing biofuels overseas ontinue securing trial raw materials; Begin selection of plant site candidates Examine technologies using the pilot facility Strengthen geothermal energy rill exploratory wells and evaluate underground structures Maintained output of 115 million kwh ompleted the Moji No. 1 and No. 2 power stations and the Himeji ower Station according to plan and began operations Began construction of a 6.25 MW power station arried out trial cultivation and secured contracts to procure raw materials in ambodia; Began selecting plant site candidates. ompleted the pilot facility and began trial runs rilled exploratory wells in memasudake, Hokkaido refecture and Oyasu, kita refecture The drilling of exploratory wells and other construction as well as evaluations of underground structures in new exploratory districts progressed according to plan Maintain stable power supply operations with an output over 100 million kwh Begin operations of the Onahama ower Station in November with an output of 1.32 MW omplete construction of the joint venture's power station and begin operations by pril 2015 ontinue to secure contracts for raw material procurement and cultivation, evaluate the economic viability of and select candidate plant sites Verify technology in Thailand rill more exploratory wells in the memasudake and Oyasu districts Maintain stable power supply operations with an output over 100 million kwh chieve a combined output of at least 19.0 million kwh per year at the three new power stations ontinue the investigation into the feasibility of launching a biomass power romote the commercialization of biofuels in Southeast sia rill exploratory wells in the memasudake district Fuel oils account for the majority of Idemitsu s petroleum products, while around 90% of the O 2 generated throughout their life cycle, *11 from crude oil extraction to consumption, is generated when fuel is consumed by customers. For this reason, we have been providing and promoting the widespread use of energy-saving technologies, products and services with lower O 2 emissions and promoting our renewable energy, as another important mission of Idemitsu. *11 Life cycle: series of stages from raw material (crude oil) extraction to consumption by users and disposal as waste roviding Energy-Saving roducts and Services Fuel oils For customers with oil-fired boilers, we use thermal diagnostics to provide recommendations on operating conditions and operating methods that improve combustion efficiency. In addition, we offer pre-mixed combustion technologies for liquid by-products generated at various factories, including used cooking oil, to achieve greater energy savings and lower O 2 emissions. oal For customers using coal boilers, we provide products and services such as the Idemitsu oal ssessment System and high-temperature video cameras to support efficient combustion matched to each type of coal. lso, we are taking part in a government-led initiative to develop programs for the transfer of energy-saving and environmental technologies to emerging countries. In July 2011, Idemitsu s Feasibility Study entitled rogram Organization Research on Efficiency Enhancement roject of oal-fired Thermal ower lant in Republic of India was adopted from among the applications solicited for the Global Warming Mitigation Technology romotion roject under the FY2011 NEO Support rogram by The New Energy and Industrial Technology evelopment Organization (NEO). 62
5 Functional materials Our lubricants, which are a mix of highly refined low-viscosity base oil and high-performance additives, demonstrate fuel conservation and resource saving (longer service life) performance. In the plastics and chemicals fields, Idemitsu provides industrial materials that offer increased energy conservation and environmental performance, such as lead-free solder with enhanced heat resistance. nd in fields outside of petroleum products and petrochemicals, we are promoting the widespread adoption of materials that help conserve energy. In the electronic materials field, we are manufacturing long-lasting and low-power-consuming OLE materials and providing them to display-panel manufacturers and lighting companies. Electronic Materials Solar ower The Idemitsu Group's solar power operations utilize the former sites of refineries that were decommissioned as trends changed over time as well as comparatively large tracts of idle ompany-owned with good sun exposure. Our solar power comprises the Himeji ower Station in Hyogo refecture, the Moji No. 1 ower Station and Moji No. 2 ower Station in Fukuoka refecture, and the Onahama ower Station in Fukushima refecture. eveloping Our Renewable Energy Business Idemitsu is promoting its green electric power, which utilizes renewable energy. We will expand the sales volume of our green electric power operations. We are also working to develop new sources of electricity. Green Electric ower Operations in Japan Himeji ower Station Electric ower Business, Which Utilizes Renewable Energy Wind ower In omori refecture, we fund and collaborate with Futamata Wind ower evelopment o., Ltd., which operates the Rokkasho-Mura Futamata Wind Farm. The output at most wind farms can fluctuate greatly due to the vagaries of weather patterns. However, this wind farm is able to achieve stable output thanks to the use of storage batteries a first in Japan which can be charged or discharged as required. Biomass ower In Kochi refecture, we established Tosa Green ower o., Ltd. as a joint venture with Tosaden Kotsu o., Ltd. and Kochiken Shinrinkumiai Rengokai. We aim to finish the construction of the Tosa ower Station and initiate operations there in pril The Tosa ower Station will incorporate the chipping and drying processes, making it Japan's first stand-alone wood-fueled biomass power station. s fuel, the station will use forest residue exclusively. It is hoped that this new will give back to the local community by creating employment opportunities in the forestry and transport industries while contributing to local forest management through the disposal of thinned timber and low-grade lumber. Furthermore, in Ono ity, Fukui refecture, we acquired a stake in Fukui Green ower o., Ltd., which is planning to launch a biomass power. roposed design of Tosa Green ower's Tosa ower Station Rokkasho-Mura Futamata Wind Farm (source: Futamata Wind ower evelopment o., Ltd.) 63
6 Geothermal ower Idemitsu has been involved in developing geothermal resources since the 1970s. Since 1996, we have supplied geothermal steam to Kyushu Electric ower o., Inc.'s Takigami ower lant in Oita refecture. Moreover, we are conducting exploratory surveys for new geothermal resources in Hokkaido, the Tohoku region and other areas.

The green electric power supplied by both these companies is chosen by schools, governmental bodies and other customers highly concerned about the environment. *12 ower roducers and Suppliers are also known as Specified-Scale Electricity Utilities. Overseas Biofuel Business Biofuels refers to fuels created from renewable organic resources through fermentation, pressing, pyrolysis or other processes. There are high expectations for these fuels as alternative energy sources and, because they are carbon neutral, they are garnering attention as a way to combat global warming. Idemitsu is also working to establish a solid foundation for biofuel commercialization in Southeast sia. This is predicated on the use of plant-based raw materials with minimal effect to the food supply and with due consideration of maintaining a healthy balance between energy stability, the environment and the economy. s part of these efforts, we signed a memorandum with the ambodian government in ecember 2012 related to the development of biofuels. ambodia has expansive, fertile lands perfect for cultivating cassava and other crops used as biofuel raw materials. We are still examining the feasibility of building a vertically integrated ethanol spanning production and sales with the cooperation of the ambodian government. 64

My personal contribution to the raffle is a very special one-of-a-kind ceramic platter signed by Alice Waters. Yes, THE Alice Waters people!
This platter was donated by Waters as an auction item to Women of Taste, the food and wine fundraiser for Girls Inc. education programs. As the lucky recipient of the platter I felt that it would be awesome to see it continue to do good in the world. The platter is eleven inches in diameter with Alice's signature in a raised orange gold glaze. It's in pristine condition and would make an awesome holiday gift or collectible for any food lover. I can offer free delivery in Berkeley, or if you'd like to pay for shipping and insurance I will happily send it to you anywhere in the world!

If you ever thought of chucking your day job to start your own restaurant, you're not alone. I happen to know a very entrepreneurial lady named Flo who did just that. Errr, okay…so Flo is actually a cartoon, and her restaurant is really part of a game. The cool thing is that you can jump in and help Flo keep the food flowing.
I'm totally addicted to this fast paced game so I offered my friends at Playfirst a chance to promote the new sequel Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue on Kung Foodie. It's really a blast and you can download the game with 60 minutes of free demo time.There are several themed restaurants that will test your skills, including a hip Japanese spot where you can serve up edamame to keep your patrons happy.
Ready to play restaurantuer? Here's how it works…
As a little Easter holiday wrapup I thought about writing 101 Ways to Cook With Peeps…but it seems the rest of the blog world has got that covered (thank goodness). The other option was Cooking With Cadbury Creme Eggs, or at least playing with them, but I'm much more excited by the idea of two foot tall sparkly chocolate eggs.
Looks like the Japanese diamond dessert squad has started a trend.

Alber Elbaz misses Lanvin colleagues
Alber Elbaz shared how much he misses Lanvin as he accepted France's Legion d'Honneur.
The fashion designer was given the country's highest honour during Paris Fashion Week on Monday (03Oct16), which he accepted in front of a packed out audience including the likes of actress Demi Moore and Valentino designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.
During his speech, Alber addressed his former Lanvin colleagues, who he began working with in 2001 and parted with last year (15).
"I'm still in love with fashion and I miss fashion and I miss you all," he told the audience.
"One day we may be back together, but maybe another place. It's the people I miss."
Alber's exit shocked the fashion world, as there were rumours of a riff between him and staff at Lanvin. However, in a letter penned to owner Shaw-Lan Wang and chief executive officer Michele Huiban, the designer supposedly addressed the claims, insisting all allegations made against him – including a lack of "creative designs" – were untrue.
But that didn't stop him from reflecting on fond memories during his time there on Monday night (03Oct16), as guests also spoke about their admiration for him.
"Alber is the warmest guy in fashion I've ever met; this is already a good reason," Piccioli smiled to Vogue.com.
"His joyful approach to fashion is a new thing. With his passions, he gave humanity to fashion at a moment when everything was not so human. Everybody was talking about powerful women, but he gave women a new sense of, I would say, joy. I love his thoughts - he's so authentic."
Alber fans are in for a treat too, as on the same day he announced the launch of a new perfume he has created with fragrance expert Frederic Malle. The scent, called Superstitious, will be released in March next year (17) and was previewed at Monday night's event.
"The word 'Superstitious' was the starting point of it all, something we agreed upon immediately. We are both superstitious," Alber said in a statement. "It's not about a collaboration, it's about friendship and respect."

In 2006, Fieri premiered his first show, Guy's Big Bite, on Food Network. Today, this "culinary rock star" also hosts top-rated Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and guest judges on Next Food Network Star. He also collaborates with Rachael Ray in the star-studded competition series, Rachael Vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-off, which premiered January 1, 2012 on Food Network.
Fieri attended University of Nevada Las Vegas, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management.
Yigit Pura, Chef/Owner, Tout Sweet Pâtisserie
Pura joined Taste Catering & Event Planning as Executive Pastry Chef in Spring 2007, and is currently consulting for them while focusing most of his attention on their new retail pastry venture, Tout Sweet Pâtisserie. Scheduled to open in San Francisco's Union Square later this spring, Tout Sweet will infuse traditional American flavors and extensive French technique with a young, fresh perspective.
But this is just the beginning. The winner and fan favorite of the first season of BRAVO's Top Chef Just Desserts aims to expand nationally, as well as into China and Japan. And he's at work on his first cookbook, Sweet Alchemy for Chronicle Books, due out in 2013.
Charlie Ayers, Chef/Owner of Calafia Café & Market A-Go-Go, Culinary Consultant, Cookbook Author
Moving on to a much smaller venture, Chef Ayers realized a long-standing dream by opening Calafia Café & Market A-Go-Go in Palo Alto in 2009. A community favorite among vegetarians and organic fanatics, Calafia is the embodiment of Ayers' belief that everyone should be able to eat delicious, innovative, fast cuisine that is healthful, good for the community, and good for the earth.
Chef Ayers spreads Calafia's "slow food served fast" message in other ways. As a consultant to high-tech companies eager to replicate the Google model, he creates corporate cafeterias, hires chefs, and develops employee-dining programs. As the author of Food 2.0: Secrets from the Chef that Fed Google (DK Publishing, 2008), he shares the same quick-fix, productivity-boosting meals that have enamored diners at his restaurant, among them the late Steve Jobs. And as a philanthropist, Chef Ayers continues to serve on the board of and support such charities as Rock the Earth and Adolescent Counseling Services.

David Bazirgan, Executive Chef, Fifth Floor Restaurant
After a stint with Chef Todd English at Olives Restaurant in Charlestown, Bazirgan boomeranged back to Lynch in 1998 for the opening of No. 9 Park in Boston's historic Beacon Hill. Serving as her chef de cuisine, he meticulously crafted seven- to nine-course seasonal tasting menus and helped her win the James Beard Award for "Best Chef Northeast" in 2003.
Bazirgan then headed west to San Francisco, where he worked first at Elisabeth Daniel and then at the acclaimed Baraka in Potrero Hill. At Baraka, he successfully married his French sensibilities to the restaurant's Moroccan and Spanish flavors and earned a nod as one of the San Francisco Chronicle's 2005 "Rising Star Chefs."
A stint as Executive Chef at Chez Papa Resto in Mint Plaza gave Bazirgan a chance to show off his flair for la cuisine Provençale, and to earn his second three star–rating from the Chronicle. Now as Executive Chef for Fifth Floor Restaurant, he has finessed New American cuisine with Mediterranean influences, and elevated the restaurant to a coveted 3.5 star review and a spot on the Chronicle's 'Top 100 Best Restaurants in the Bay Area' list.
Chris Cosentino, Executive Chef, Incanto, Co-creator, Boccalone Salumeria
He joined Incanto as executive chef in 2002 and his innovative interpretations of rustic Italian fare promptly earned the restaurant its first 3-star San Francisco Chronicle review. Since then, Cosentino has gained national acclaim as a leading proponent of offal cookery. His gutsy approach stems from a belief that no part of an animal slaughtered for food should go to waste. From beef tendon to duck tongue to fish spine, he has demonstrated that the "fifth quarter" offers an untapped array of flavors and textures—and can make for elegant, mouthwatering dishes.
In addition to serving as Incanto's executive chef, Cosentino is co-creator of Boccalone, an artisanal salumeria. He was a contestan on the first season of the Food Network's Next Iron Chef America, and can now be seen on the network's Chefs vs. City show. He has also worked with local company, Cordarounds, to design a pair of "gluttony pants." In his spare time, Cosentino enjoys mountain biking around Northern California and spending time with his family.

The result is Cricket.

Hello folks, The monthly Bangpypers meet was scheduled yesterday and I decided to attend it. Only on reaching the venue did I realise that it was a combined Bangpypers – Hasgeek event. The reason – It was a meeting in memory of Aaron Swartz, the creator of web.py, the guy behind reddit, and above all the one who standardised RSS.
