Some possible topics for a throw-down.
Some possible topics for a throw-down.
Are throwdowns for fatties only?
No Ma'am they are not just for fatties.
A theme is given. Sometimes it's needs to include a certain item. Sometimes the theme may be much more wide open, like last October's "Halloween" theme, which really fired up people's imaginations.
Will keep an eye here for some possible Throwdowns !

Singapore struggle against 10-man Laos
NAYPYIDAW — Singapore failed to get their SEA Games campaign off to a winning start after they could only muster a 1-1 draw against 10-man Laos at the Zayarthiri Stadium in Naypyidaw tonight (Dec 8).
Courts Young Lions forward Sahil Suhaimi gave Singapore the lead in the 27th minute but substitute Khuanta Sivongthong's 86th-minute equaliser prevented Aide Iskandar's men from securing all three points.
Laos were reduced to 10 men after just two minutes after defender Saychon Khunsamnarn was shown a straight red card for a late challenge on LionsXII forward Shahfiq Ghani.
The Lions dominated possession after that but were struggling to find any rhythm in attack and hardly troubled the Laos goalkeeper.
But they did manage to break the deadlock in the 27th minute when Zulfahmi Arifin's lob over the Laos defence was well controlled by Sahil, who then volleyed the ball into the bottom right corner.
Singapore set up camp in the Laotian half in the second 45 minutes but poor passing in the final third of the pitch prevented them from extending their lead.
Laos never stopped running and were rewarded for their hard work in the 86th minute when Sivongthong rose the highest to head a free-kick past Singapore goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud.
Singapore will next play Vietnam — who trounced Brunei 7-0 earlier today — on Dec 10.

Warped Tour bands to watch: Never Shout Never, Mike Posner, Riverboat Gamblers and more
This year's Warped Tour, Friday at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg, is headlined by some names you may recognize: Andrew W.K., Sum 41, Reel Big Fish, Pennywise, We the Kings and Alkaline Trio.
But just as important are the artists you don't know. Every year, there's an artist on the bill who no one knows, but who ends up making it big — i.e., Katy Perry, My Chemical Romance or Eminem. Here are five lesser-known artists with the potential to become household names.
Never Shout Never: Without much mainstream hype, Missouri singer-songwriter Christofer Drew Ingle (above) of Never Shout Never has become this year's Hot Topic pinup du jour, blending emo style and sensitivity with an unabashedly upbeat pop vibe — think Jason Mraz covering Dashboard Confessional. An adoring audience of teenage girls will be front and center for this one.
Mike Posner: Posner's blend of pop, electro and R&B seems more suited for the club than the pit, but no less an authority than Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman likes Posner's chances for success. "If he can pull it off live I think by the end of the summer you'll see that level of that groundswell that came in behind Katy Perry and a band like 3OH!3," Lyman told Rolling Stone.
The Pretty Reckless: Taylor Momsen got her start as Cindy Lou Who in Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and she plays Jenny Humphrey on the teen soap Gossip Girl. But at only 16, Momsen is quickly becoming the latest poster child for girls going wild just a little too fast. As the singer of the darkly melodic punk band The Pretty Reckless, Momsen has been photographed smoking onstage, flashing her underwear and howling lyrics like "I'm just 16 if you know what I mean / Do you mind if I take off my dress?" It's a little shock-rocky, but critics are starting to take her seriously. "That girl can actually rock," Spin wrote last year.
Riverboat Gamblers: Based out of Austin, Riverboat Gamblers apply their own Texas twang to classic, fist-pumping classic punk, with influences ranging from The Clash to Bad Religion to the Kinks. They've been around since the '90s, but they keep experimenting with their sound — maybe if we're lucky, they'll play their mod-meets-rockabilly cover of Prince's Let's Go Crazy. Fans of Florida's own Against Me! will love it.
The Summer Set: Given their melodic style of tween-friendly power pop, it's no surprise The Summer Set have been sucked into the Radio Disney universe. The band's hit song Chelsea was written by singer Brian Dales for his girlfriend, Chelsea Staub, who co-stars with the Jonas Brothers on the Disney Channel show Jonas. "We're definitely not trying to market ourselves a certain way; we're just kind of going with it," said drummer Jess Bowen. "We're just saying, 'We're a band, we love playing music, we love having fun, come check us out.'"

Apple market cap reaches all-time high $300 bln
Shareholders were optimistic about the company's prospects and share value grew accordingly to $329.57 making the total worth of the company to $302.32 billion at the end of the market day on Monday. The 1-year target estimate for Apple's shares is equally bright – stock is expected to hit $371.19 at the end of 2011.
2010 was hugely successful for Cupertino as the company's market worth skyrocketed from $213 billion surpassing long-time rival Microsoft on the way. Now, Apple is $60 billion ahead of Redmond and Steve Jobs tops the CEO of the decade list and has deserved an honorable mention from Barack Obama.
Verizon-branded iPhone and a second generation of the iPad are some of the cornerstones of Cupertino's 2011 prospects. One thing is sure about Apple – it manages to pull off surprises. Do you expect to see something revolutionary from the company this year?

Well they always have something new to impress people. Normally though if they are creating a new version of something (Eg. iPhone, iPhone 2 and so on) they only add what's missing. This technique seems to work though.

You know, I hear that argument a lot...but honestly, I just think Apple is smart. Their biggest concern is not satisfying nerdy folks like us. It's all about end-user experience. They didn't include 3G in the first iPhone because AT&T's 3G map back then was worse than it is now (which is the case for most companies). So instead of promising something AT&T couldn't provide, they went without it. People cried for multitasking, but what's everyone's biggest complaint with their phone on any network other than reception? Battery life. Phones that really multitask kill the battery, so Apple waited.
The only real bad mark on Apple is the antenna problem and even that was a smaller deal than what folks made it out to be.
Apple does well because they market their products to everyone. You don't have to be a genius to use an iPhone. But I'm a huge nerd and I wouldn't trade my iPhone for the world. But I also don't have some weird deep seeded hatred for Apple either.

Sprint gets tagged with $300 million lawsuit for tax fraud

Dun dun dun. They are done for.
11. TechnoTechyes (Posts: 64; Member since: 24 Jan 2011)
If they did fail, the government would step in. As they did for the airlines and auto makers. There is no way Verizon and AT&T would be able to handle 70 million Sprint, Boost, Virgin, and Assurance customers overnight. No cellular company would fail slowly.
Here is what everyone would face:
* Phone supplies for Verizon and AT&T would probably be set back 6-10 months, And new phones would go up in price.
* Verizon and AT&T would need 2 years to get the networks in place to handle the additional customer load, in the meantime they would have network failures from coast to coast.
* Finally, everyone's phone bill would probably skyrocket to handle the situation.
If any of the 4 major carriers were to go belly up, it would be a disaster for America cell service. The government would not let that happen.
Not surprisingly Phone Arena writers might know cellular tech (well maybe), but I am often baffled by their interpretation of the business and the law. Often they seem misinformed or that they didn't understand what they read elsewhere. You'd think they would have someone with an MBA review their business stories before they post some of their articles. I guess if you want better articles with less imprudence, complain to their sponsors.
Also about the article... How can 1.8 million (including family plan) customers be accumulating $4.6 million in missed taxes each month? The AG is stating (theoretically) that Sprint is 25% short in tax collections. But for those numbers to be correct, the average Sprint bill would be about $158/month. It's not. Also, how can the AG claim that 1% is giving Sprint a competitive advantage? That is about 70 cents/mo.

This is just New State trying to make up for the exuberant amounts of tax payer dollars that they waste. They took thousands out of my paycheck in taxes and the bastards claim that I still owe them more. Even though there are still roads with tolls here, and EVERYTHING is over taxed to the point that it is ridiculous. I have Sprint and NY state taxes and fees average almost 20% every month, which is MORE than enough.
Maybe they should stop giving large amounts of our hard earned money to people that refuse to work and cheat the system, then go spend it on luxury items, booze and illegal drugs. Also, all of the goverment officials that allow this corruption to continue should have their salaries lowered (rather than propose raises for themselves) I'm sure they could live on less than several hundred thousand dollars per year. They should not be awarded unnecessary amounts of money for their failure. And I'm POSITIVE these over paid/underworked government officials don't need brand new $30,000-$50,000 work vehicles every year to drive around in.
New York is a greedy, corrupt, joke of a state.

Over Easter it seems like all my children have undergone big developmental changes. The boy has had a massive growth spurt and is now bigger than quite a few of his peers who were once bigger than him, Fifi has become a little bit more precocious and seems to have lost a lot of her baby fat. So much so that I didn't even recognise her when I was trying to spot her at dance class! The speed at which this happened was remarkable. I do tend to find this with my children, its literally overnight for these changes to happen or things to 'click' for them.
Perhaps the biggest change has been in little Ned who has become totally confident in his walking ability and can now dribble with a ball in the garden. I'm tempted to go out there every waking second in case we have a little Beckham on our hands. He is also keen to explore anything and everything. It was a pure joy to see him explore the zoo on foot and I thought how far my baby has come in the past few weeks, he really isn't a baby anymore but a raging bundle of boy. A boy who knows what he likes and what he doesn't like and a boy who when he wants to look at a baby giraffe, will look at a baby giraffe despite his big sisters protestations.
I loved watching him explore this log and it made me think how lacking most children's playgrounds are nowadays. As ever, its the simple pleasures which are the most memorable.

Style: 33644139 Colour:
This gorgeous maxi slip features a sheer grid floral lace bodice with a drop waist. Tiered sheer mesh skirt.
Classic Maxi
True to fit, this maxi dress is stunning! I am 5ft small and a size 8. Although the color is more of a charcoal grey than black which gives it a vintage look. The straps of the dress are very thin, but give enough support. The only *flaw* is that the slip (as pictured underneath) is not included which should be detailed on the information. I would love to purchase the slip as well but could not find a reference for it. Dare to dream and go and purchase this dress its sure to last a lifetime.
Cool and worth the work
This is not an easy piece. I am 5"7, curvy, with hips and a bust, and the M fits pretty great. I wasn't sure about this and thought I might return it but ended up making a tiny alteration (raising the waist hem at the front) and now I absolutely love it. It is completely sheer and definitely not black - much more of a washed charcoal. The straps are VERY thin and the weight of the dress makes them cut into my shoulders a bit, but I actually wouldn't want them thicker as it is extremely sexy as it is. really fun to wander around the house in a la Morticia Adams. The neckline in front is higher than I thought it would be, which I love. The ruffled skirt is a show stopper - I love wearing this with tights and combat boots. It also looks great with an oversized blazer or top overtop. The only problem, which I ended up altering, was the the waist hem in front was significantly longer than it was in the back, which looked really weird. Hence the change. Very grunge chic. Recommended!
lovely slip
I ordered this in the wine color, and it is more of a purple with a reddish undertone. The straps are a little thin for the weight so hopefully they will hold up, but the style is very lovely and flattering. I have a 35" bust and 35" hips and an XS fits perfectly.
Gorgeous cut, very flattering, but definitely grey
I love the way this dress is cut and feels, but I expected it to be black like the photos and in person it is definitely more of a grey color. If I look closely I see the color is called "charcoal" but it's way lighter in person than in the photos, and somehow I just feel like it looks a little weird - just a strange color for the fabric choice and silhouette. I'm going to send it back, but I think will probably order the red color instead. It really is just a lovely, flattering cut and feels amazing on.

Hi there guys!
As many of you know; Project Run and Play Season 7 started today. And I am hoping to sew along with an outfit or piece of clothing for each of my younger two children as they both just went through super growth spurts and really need clothes!
I am sewing exclusively from my stash that I have already-both fabrics and refashioning clothes-So there will probably be quite a bit of refashioning by way of resizing going on at my house this month.
Week One is the pattern remix week and this season the pattern is the Oliver & S Popover Sundress.
This pattern is a A-line sundress with shoulder ties so it was a pretty basic starting point. At first I wasn't sure how I should remix the pattern for my 2 year old son. Shoulder ties are definitely not boyish and boys really don't have a whole lot in the A-line garment department other then maybe a rain coat. But alas I don't have the right fabric for a raincoat! How sad...my son will be needing one soon here in rainy Oregon.
Anyone know how to turn regular fabric into raincoat fabric?
My next thought was a t-shirt...but I have never made one in a woven! Is there such a thing?
I kept thinking I had seen something similar and I had Max California Woven Tee Awesomeness!
So I decided to try that. At first I tried to use Sewing Mama RaeAnna's Scrubby Jams Top pattern to combine with the Popover to get a good woven tee and well...I had no idea what I was doing so I turned my 2 year old woven tee project quickly into a colorblocked blue tunic for my 8 month old daughter.
Sooo...On to a knit version I thought-I could do that! Make a color blocked knit tee for my son with a gentle A-line shape out of 2 thrifted adult tee shirts? Totally doable! But obvious...Did everyone else with a boy think color blocked tee shirt too? Oh well =D Onward with the cuteness!
I took a thrifted black Dutch Bros. Boulevard-tee that I had previously refashioned into a maternity shirt when pregnant with my daughter and a super soft red "Popchips" shirt (what are popchips? does anyone know?) and drafted my franken pattern knit tee using the Popover for the body and I used Dana @ Made's Basic Tee to modify the armscye. I also used her sleeve pattern piece, lengthening it to be elbow length on my son. I made the A-line much more gentle, the back is more narrow widthwise then the front, I cut out a 4t on the Popover and shortened it, used the top as my color block seam to keep the pattern lines-changing the armholes to use the Basic sleeve took away that little scalloped armhole bit the original sundress has.
I will update with pictures of it on sometime this week after I post my girl remix :) that was much easier! And I am hoping to get some pants made to go with this shirt, he really needs basic everyday wearing clothes.
Ta Ta for now!

Barbed wire twined vine-like and rusted red as wine pulls taut on an aged fence post.
Remote settlements of patchy yellow moss build slow as years on the north side of the graying posts, while spring flowers sprout like fresh ideas in the lush background.
Barbs red as a point of blood on a pricked finger recall land sealed part and parcel by steady pastoral violence. A painful sting pierces the mind's rustic hide, spilling memories like viscera of species, people and treaties annihilated. For what but range land? Which also was replaced all too soon by black bobbing horseheads, hissing gas wells and highways dangerous enough to ensure a tradition of death on sprawling prairie.
Our roaming photographer captured this image at a ranch in Stony, which is located just a stone's throw from the eastern Wise County line. The contrast of old and new creates the nostalgia we always look for but never quite find in a land-mine riddled past perfect.

Well due to some serious life changes, I have been spending some time out in the Tanami Desert over here in Australia.
I took my old Nikon D70 along and grabbed some of these images mostly at night.
As much as there was nothing out there it has its own kind of beauty.
Plan to get back in the water for 2010 though.

Intel's Oak Trail chipset scores disappointing benchmark results
The guys at Tweakers.net put the tablet prototype through several benchmark tests such as CaffeineMark, Linpack, and Quadrant. In those tests, the tablet with Intel Inside finished behind other Android flavored tablets like the Acer A500 Iconia Tab, and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1. For example, on the Linpack test,Tegra 2 packing tablets scored about 36 MFLOPS compared to the 9.4 MFLOPS tally produced by the Intel powered prototype. On the other hand, the results of the SunSpider benchmark had the Intel powered prototype tablet in first place, ahead of the Asus Eee Transformer Pad, showing that at least, the Intel chips can process JavaScript quickly.
Overall, the test scores were not great news for a company trying to break into a market that already has two proven brands with Nvidia's Tegra 2 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. And there is also TI's OMAP4 series to contend with. Intel has to make up a lot of ground for the Oak Trail to be a player in this market.

Why first iPad has the highest score? Is this test optimized for 2 cores?
2. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
probably.... its being an issue to measure the work of the terga for similar reasons seems there is something not cutting with the processors but only time will tell
7. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
because it's the slowest ot them
10. cheetah2k (Posts: 1746; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
The Sun Spider test is in mili-seconds. Meaning the Compal intel Oaktrail unit processes Java quickly vs the slow iPad at 3267ms
However, CaffeineMark 3, the lower score on the Compal intel Oaktrail proto is a complete fail.
I think this is a clear indication that Intel has a long way to go before producing a class leading Tablet CPU.
It might be the case that Intel are having issues adapting x86 core technology from top end CPU's (like the Core i7 series) where as, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Sumsung and Apple have come the long hard road in developing ULV SOC (along with TI, ARM, etc) from the ground up.
If Intel really want in this game, I reckon it would be more economical to either buy, or licence ARM technology lol
12. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Its a prototype. Not a finished unit. Dont judge the chipset until its ready for launch. Even the current king of the crop, the Samsung Exynos scored badly on preproduction software.. and look at it now, its flying circles around the Tegra2 and others.
Bottom line is wait till its in production to pass judgement. There are still plenty of bugs they need to work out.

The first I pad is last you want alow score on that test
4. daniel_bargs (Posts: 325; Member since: 27 Nov 2010)
because iPad has dont carry flash support. who wins in a sprint? 200 pounder or 100 pounder?

Who ever is faster?

Bunch of retards here, Ipad is the slowest one here.
Lower score = better = faster in this benchmark

The exhibit in honor of the fictional Channel 4 anchor famously played by Will Ferrell is said to be a promotional effort to hype upcoming sequel, 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues'.
Newseum takes part in promotional activities for upcoming highly-anticipated film, "Anchorman: The Legend Continues". The Washington D.C.-based institution, which is devoted to the history of the media, throws "Anchorman: The Exhibit" in honor of fictional news anchor Ron Burgundy and his three partners.
"For millions of viewers, the news anchor represents the authority and credibility of television news. But anchormen and women also are popular targets for pop culture laughs," Cathy Trost, the vice president of Newseum, says in a statement. "The exhibit explores the reality behind the humor of 'Anchorman' and tracks the rise of personality-driven news formats in the 1970s."
Fans will not only get a chance to see iconic props, including Burgundy's jazz flute and Arturo Mendez's whip used during the filming of a fight scene, much closer, but also take photos in the KVWN-TV anchor desk and news set.
Starting on November 14, the exhibit is said to be on display until August 31, 2014.
"The Legend Continues" is once again directed by Adam McKay and produced by Judd Apatow. The second film of the franchise is merely said to center on the continuing on-set adventures of San Diego's top rated newsman.
Featuring a cameo appearance from Drake, the sequel to 2004's "Anchorman" will open nationwide on December 20.

Greyhound Adoption of Ohio Greyhound Adoption of Ohio
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Greyhound Adoption of Ohio Was established in January of 1993 to attempt to compensate the wonderful greyhound for the injustices bestowed upon them at the hands of the racing industry. Since our inception, we have placed more than 1000 greyhounds in loving homes. We retrieve retired or rejected greyhounds from the racing kennels, bring them to the kennel and prepare them for their new lives. Upon arrival at GAO, each dog is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, heartworm-tested, receives a thorough dental cleaning, has a microchip implanted for permanent identification and has any other medical care he or she might need. Each dog is then evaluated to determine what type of home will be best for placement. Some of the factors considered include the activity level of each dog and family, whether there are children or other pets in the home, how long the family is away on a daily basis, and whether the family has a history of responsible pet ownership. We strive to ensure these gentle creatures are placed in homes where they will live safe and secure and be loved for the rest of their lives. We believe, however, that adoption is but a "band-aid" on a very large wound. There can never be enough homes for all the dogs in need. For each greyhound that is placed, a dog somewhere will die because that home was taken. With an estimated 10-15 million unwanted animals abandoned or destroyed each year in this country, our goal, in addition to finding loving homes for these kind and gentle creatures, is to make the public aware of the enormity of the pet overpopulation problem and to encourage spaying and neutering of all pets. Therefore, we do not place greyhounds in homes where there are unaltered pets. For many in the racing industry, greyhounds are a disposable commodity, to be discarded when they are no longer able to provide a profit for their owners. We are aware that there are owners and trainers who do take good care of their charges and do everything possible to ensure that they go to responsible adoption organizations when their racing days are over. We endeavor to acknowledge and assist these individuals in their efforts. At Greyhound Adoption, we believe those responsible for the vast over breeding and blatant cruelty that takes place in the sport should be held accountable, and look forward to the day when there will be no need for organizations like ours.
Greyhound Adoption of Ohio is a nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to placing retired racing greyhounds in loving homes for over eleven years. To date we have placed more than 1000 dogs (who might otherwise have been destroyed) into homes where they have become members of the family. We are very proud of the work we do and the many volunteer hours it takes to provide homes for these amazing animals.

Is Your Breath Smooch-Worthy?
There are a few ways to perform a breath check in public: 1) Ask a friend, 2) Cup your hand around your mouth to catch your breath and inhale at the same time, 3) Lick your hand and wait for the saliva to dry and then smell it, or 4) try to taste your mouth. Since only one of these techniques is sure to give you an accurate result, your best breath indicator come Valentine's Day is the Kiss-O-Meter, a gadget similar to a breathalyzer, but it checks your breath's smell instead of its booze content. Once you've breathed into the device, it will respond with Kiss Me, Possible, Maybe, Risky and Never. Now, you can eliminate the guess work and just lean in for a special kiss or full-on make out session.

In case you missed it, today was the big reveal of Microsoft's next game console. While most of the responses have been negative, I think people are overreacting a bit. While there were plenty of things I didn't care much for, they also discussed a few things that are actually rather exciting.
While I definitely didn't go crazy for Microsoft's showing, it is not time to panic
While I was certainly disappointed by the focus on tv and such, there is one bit of exciting news on that front: the live-action Halo series produced by Steven Spielberg. "Forward Unto Dawn" was considerably better than I expected, and with Spielberg producing the budget will be much higher. While the dream has of course been for him to make a Halo movie, I can live with a tv series as long as it stays true to Halo and delivers a compelling story. While not every movie he has produced is up to par (Transformers), they certainly have the budget, and with the right person at the helm it could turn out to be something special.
A big budget halo series? Count me in!
Now onto the device that has been the bane of many Xbox fans' existence: Kinect. Microsoft unveiled a more powerful Kinect sensor that is built into the console rather than having to be awkwardly mounted somewhere. In addition, it features a fully HD camera, which should certainly help with movement recognition. I had high hopes for Kinect originally, but the first version of it was a complete failure in my opinion. While its game-related features were not showcased, I wonder if there will be any major improvements on that front. In all honesty, the sensor has vast potential, and that doesn't even have to include standing and moving around like a fool. I don't know if it will ever happen, but the Milo demo was incredible. Just for kicks, imagine being able to communicate in that fashion with Clementine from The Walking Dead. Adding that interactivity to the already strong connection to the character would be something never before seen in a game. With the new technology, this could very well be possible. While Kinect 2.0 could certainly be as lame as the last one, there is still great potential, and as a result some reason for optimism.
Imagine using Kinect to talk to Clementine. Hard to picture, but definitely not impossible
This last bit flew a little more under the radar than it should of. Although this will certainly be a huge part of E3, the announcement that 15 exclusives and 8 new franchises are coming to the console in the first year is huge. Microsoft has been criticized for their lack of exclusives, and this may be the response to that. There is still the possibility of having far too many Kinect titles, but let's again try and think positively as well as logically. I really think that Microsoft does not want another poor E3 showing. As a result, they saved the game-related announcements for the convention, since essentially only gamers pay attention to it. These days, it's all about, "What have you done for me lately?" and if Microsoft unveils 15 exclusives and 8 new IPs that are not just Kinect titles, people will definitely be talking about it. People have to admit that it's hard to believe Microsoft, knowing what gamers are thinking right now, would announce 10 or more Kinect-only games.
Say what you will, but 15 exclusives is an unprecedented number
In summary, despite what people are saying, there is reason for optimism. Microsoft has saved the gaming related announcements for E3, so I am holding off on final judgements until I see what they are offering. While my feelings are mixed, I felt the need to discuss the positives because of all the negativity right now. Slight improvements to an already superb controller, a Halo tv series, a Kinect sensor that has some potential, and a truckload of new exclusives are plenty of reasons to withhold judgement. I was extremely impressed by what Sony announced not too long ago, but Xbox has definitely not shown its best yet. Just wait and see what happens at E3 before bashing either company.

Volunteers at Drews Pond Wood in Devizes are delighted with the amount raised towards rebuilding a streamside walk.
The wood was battered by storms last month and 17 trees were blown down, leaving access dangerous.
The area is still cordoned off while trees are made safe. The volunteer group running the wood estimates work to rebuild the walk will cost about £4,000.
Sunday was a donation day at the wood, in which about 30 visitors gave an impressive £760 in total. With other money collected, the total has topped £1,000.
Volunteers leader Stuart Hislop said: "People who visited us on Sunday said they they love what we do and the hard work we put in and this was an opportunity for them to show their appreciation."
Donation cheques should be payable to Drews Pond Wood Project and posted to 25 Sarum Drive.
Alternatively, potential supporters can contact Mr Hislop on 07853 299074.

|Among all the hazards cyclists face, few are as ubiquitous as man's best friend. Wherever you ride, whatever you ride, whether on road or on dirt, at some point a dog will conclude you are persona non grata, or worse, decide a pound of your flesh might make a fine hors d'oeuvre. Here are some tips on keeping your calves and ankles whole:
Critical concerns when being pursued
Non-aggressive approach
Aggressive approach
Threatening as they may be, irrate dogs can be more rational and are certainly less dangerous than enraged or careless humans driving oversized vehicles.

Orange County-based Labor & Employment Group partner, Mark A. Romeo, speaks with Law360 about the California Supreme Court's decision to hear the class action brought by ABM Industries Inc. security guards who claim they were illegally forced to be on call during their breaks. The case is significant because it gives the court an opportunity to address an issue that was left unresolved in its high-profile Brinker decision. "In large part, Brinker held employers are not obligated to police meal breaks to ensure no work is done, and if the court [in the ABM case] upholds that on-call rest breaks are permitted, it would be another ruling in favor of employers and would go a long way toward eliminating another potential type of claim," Romeo said.
Newly elected Crowell & Moring chair and Washington, D.C.-based partner and co-chair of the firm's Government Contracts Group, Angela B. Styles, caught up with Bisnow on her fourth day on the job. She discusses a wide array of topics ranging from her background in government to her vision for the future of the firm. When speaking about the growth of the firm, Styles stated that "[firm growth has] been very much a key to our success," and the firm will have a continued focus on growing smartly during her tenure as chair.
Newly elected Crowell & Moring chair Angela B. Styles, partner and co-chair of the Government Contracts Group, is profiled by The National Law Journal. Styles discusses her childhood, past experience in both the federal government and private practice, and how she arrived at Crowell & Moring. When referring to the firm's visions for the firm's future, Styles notes that she plans "not growing for growth's sake," and hopes to strengthen practices such as cybersecurity and health care while maintaining the firm's government contracts, regulatory, and litigation reputation.
Newly-elected chair of Crowell & Moring, Angela B. Styles, is featured in The Washington Post's "Capital Business" section after assuming her new role. The article notes that Styles, who joined the firm in 2007, is the second woman to serve as chair in firm history. "I am honored to serve as chair of Crowell & Moring and to be part of a long tradition of firm leaders who have helped to build a truly unique firm over the past 35 years," Styles said.
Washington, D.C.-based partner and member of the firm's Labor & Employment Group, Tom P. Gies, comments on a U.S. Supreme Court decision that states the Department of Labor and other agencies don't need notice-and-comment rule-making to change interpretive regulations. The decision underscores a split among the justices on precedent requiring judicial deference to agencies' interpretations of their own rules.
The National Law Journal reports the news that Angela Styles, partner and co-chair of Crowell & Moring's Government Contracts Group, has been elected as the firm's new chair. Referring to her predecessor, Kent A. Gardiner, who stepped down due to term limits, Styles notes: "It's a pretty good foundation I have to start with. I'm sure I will change some things. But we're at such a good place right now, we just need to keep thinking forward," she said.
Washington, D.C.-based Labor & Employment Group partner, Thomas P. Gies, is quoted in a Law360 article which touches on the diverse areas of employment law. When asked about whether or not the nation can have a "zero tolerance" policy for employee marijuana use, Gies explains, "It's a real dilemma, and I'm getting a lot of questions about that." Simply put, the fact that marijuana remains illegal at the federal level generally puts the law on the employer's side.
Washington, D.C.-based Government Contracts Group co-chair, Angela B. Styles, speaks to BNA about the Department of Defense (DOD) releasing details of several legislative proposals it will make to Congress for inclusion in the fiscal year National Defense Authorization Act. The proposals, also known as the Legislative Initiative, are part of the Better Buying Power program to improve acquisition. "If you are an acquisition reform advocate, you are thinking of reform of regulations for companies," said Styles, "That is not what you are seeing here." Styles also notes that if the proposals make it into law, they will likely help the DOD save resources.
Washington, D.C.-based Government Contacts Group partner, Peter Eyre, talks to Law360 regarding a final rule that will tighten restrictions on human trafficking in government contracting. Under its requirements, all contractors must disclose working conditions to employees, are barred from confiscating passports or other immigration documents, must ensure that workers aren't being charged any recruitment fees, and must provide the worker with return transportation for non-nationals. "I think another big question is: 'Who pays for this?'" Eyre said. "There are some very specific obligations, both the compliance plan ... and others. But who is going to pay for that?"
Thomas P. Gies, a Labor & Employment Group partner based in Crowell & Moring's Washington, D.C. office, talks to Law360 about the year's upcoming notable labor and employment legislation. In particular, Gies discusses the Department of Labor's efforts to revamp overtime standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act. "It would certainly generate another flood of lawsuits, and I think it's a big deal," Gies said of the overtime rule-making push.
Washington, D.C.-based Advertising & Product Risk Management Group partner John Fuson discusses one of the key food and beverage cases of 2015, Grocery Manufacturers Association et al. v. Sorrell et al, and its potential implications on federal legislation to regulate Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) labeling. "That is a really big thing to watch," Fuson said. "To some extent because that's going on, and because other states have certainly considered so-called GMO labeling, two different bills have been introduced nationally to deal with GMO labeling."
Washington, D.C.-based Government Contracts partner, Peter Eyre, discusses the potential impact of executive orders on the government contracts industry, including a 2012 order that will recruit federal contractors in U.S. efforts to fight labor trafficking at home and abroad. "That proposal came out months ago. That is now, as far as we can tell, ready to come out in final form. Because of the compliance requirements of that rule, it's something that will get a lot of attention," Eyre said.
John Fuson, a Washington, D.C.-based partner in Crowell & Moring's Advertising & Product Risk Management Group, discusses potential legislative changes in the life sciences sector in the upcoming year, including a possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act Medical Device Tax. Fuson also discusses the FDA's intent to regulate laboratory developed tests, noting, "This is a segment of the health care industry that has resisted oversight from the FDA. I'm sure that the agency is going to get a lot of feedback."
The Daily Journal highlights Crowell & Moring in the paper's "Dealmaker" column for the firm's representation of Signature Group Holdings Inc. (SGH), a Sherman-Oaks-based holding company, as it offered 3.7 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering. The firm
provided additional representation when SGH offered over four million shares of common stock for $6.50 per share. San Francisco-based senior counsel, Murray A. Indick, served as counsel for SGH for both of these deals.
Washington, D.C.-based partner and co-chair of the firm's Corporate Group, Bryan Brewer, speaks with Law360 as part of their dealmaking movers and shakers Q&A series. Brewer shares his personal perspective on an array of questions such as what advice he would give to other inspiring dealmakers and what aspects of regulation affecting his practice are in need of reform. In response to what upcoming trends or under-the-radar areas of deal activity to anticipate, Brewer believes that, "Based on a competitive intelligence view of the market, we do not see divestures or complete transformative transactions as ruling the deal landscape in the short term. For example, based on recent deal flow and other trend data, technology, pharmaceutical, medical, and biotech M&As have all demonstrated a strong opening in the first quarter of 2014, and we expect that to continue."
Crowell & Moring's Middle East & North Africa (MENA) practice was featured in Law360 as a result of the October 3, 2012 event in the firm's New York office titled, "Doing Business in the Gulf: An Economic and Regulatory Overview." The article focuses on best practices for companies and private investors interested in doing business in Saudi Arabia.

SABMiller PLC
18 May 2004
London and Johannesburg, 18thMay 2004. China Resources Breweries Limited ('CRB
'), an associate of SABMiller plc ('SABMiller') and a subsidiary of China
Resources Enterprise, Limited ('CRE'), announces that it has acquired a 90%
interest in two breweries in Anhui Province from Anhui Longjin Group Limited ('
Longjin Group'). The two brewing plants in Shucheng and Liuan produce the famous
'Longjin' brand. The Longjin Group retains the remaining 10% interest.
The consideration for the acquisition was based on the book asset value of the
two breweries as at 31st December 2003 and, subject to adjustment, amounted to
RMB280 million (c.US$34 million) including assumption of certain liabilities
totalling RMB82 million (c.US$10 million). With a combined annual production
capacity of about 2.8 million hectolitres, the two brewing plants achieved sales
volume of approximately 1.4 million hectolitres in 2003.
Prior to the acquisition, CRB already owned and operated two breweries in Anhui
and is one of the largest brewers in the province, with annual production
capacity of 3.5 million hectolitres and sales volume in 2003 of 2.4 million

Province. Including the joint venture with Zhejiang Qianpi Group signed in March
this year, the annual production capacity of CRB will be increased to about 49
million hectolitres. CRB will have 32 breweries covering the North Eastern,
South Western, Central and Eastern regions of the Chinese Mainland.

to access synergies and cost benefits with our existing operations.'
Mr. Frank Ning, Chairman of CRE, said, 'The addition of Longjin will strengthen
our presence in Anhui Province with a dominant market share in Hefei and Liuan.

important platform for us to extend the distribution of our national brand,

Bucharest (May. 27)
A question as to why no measures have been taken against the incitement of the official Cuzist organ in Constanz, the "Stralucidoro," which has been urging the peasants "to kill the Jews and burn their synagogues" was raised today in Parliament by the Social-Democratic Deputy Lutchian. Minister of Industry Madgearu replied that the matter was within the jurisdiction of the Constanz district attorney but that he would nevertheless draw the matter to the attention of the Minister of Justice.
Quoting M. Lutchian's interpellation, the Bucharest daily, "Dimineatza", says that while it does not desire to draw an analogy in the attitude towards the Jews between the Constanz district Attorney and the Jassy police "the happenings of last week do not justify any optimistic expectations as a result of the Minister's intervention".
The Jewish paper "Unser Zeit", published in Kishinev, states that the report of Inspector Coma, who investigated the Targufromos affair recommended the removal of the Jassy police inspector, M. Ganya for his maltreatment of the arrested Jews who were stood in line and photographed with sticks in their hands in order to incite the peasants.
In a number of Bessarabian villages in the vicinity of Kishinev "Unser Zeit" has been confiscated by the authorities. An editorial in "Unser Zeit" vigorously protests against the confiscation declaring that the reason given by the local authorities was that it was not permissible to write anything about Prince Carol. Protesting against this "limited view", the editorial emphasizes that while it realizes that the confiscation was undertaken at the behest of the local authorities it is regrettable that the government permits such action.

60 percent of Indiana schools get A or B grades
About 60 percent of Indiana public schools are getting A or B letter grades for student progress, while about 7 percent received failing grades that could position them for state takeover if they don't improve.
The State Board of Education approved the grades for the nearly 2,100 public schools across the state on Wednesday.
The grading system is based largely on student standardized test scores, graduation rates and college and career readiness.
Education officials say overall, 43 schools moved up at least three letter grades.
See school grade results here. (Excel file)
Critics have argued that the rules for the grades are unfair and inaccurate. Glenda Ritz, the Democrat running against Indiana's top schools official, says the grades approved by the state board of education Wednesday don't truly measure individual student achievement. She calls the measuring system "artificial."
Ritz is challenging Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett in the Nov. 6 election. Bennett says the grading system is fair.
The state carried out its first-ever takeovers last year of four schools in Indianapolis and one in Gary after years of poor student scores.
The system is based largely on student standardized test scores and gives schools and districts A-through-F grades instead of ranking them by categories such as "academic progress" and "probation" as had been done until 2011.

CO Detector Saves Ohio State University Students
Imagine going to bed for a good night's sleep and not waking up again. When it comes to Carbon monoxide, that scenario is a real danger.
An Ohio State University student says a tiny appliance kept her from dying.
OSU third-year student Jackie Serpico relaxes by playing piano. She can relax these days because of a tattle-tale on her wall, a carbon monoxide detector. A year ago, she and two friends had moved into a different apartment. One of the girls had brought along her CO detector.
"My dad was 'Good, one of your roommates brought one.' And then I just didn't really think about it again," Jackie said.
She was abruptly reminded of it a few months later at 2 a.m. Two girls, including Jackie, were asleep. A third was studying when the detector went off.
That roommate checked to make sure it wasn't a false alarm from a dead battery, and then woke the others, including Jackie. Jackie said it was hard to get up, but her friend forced her outside and called 911. Firemen found a broken furnace and Carbon monoxide.
"They said it was at lethal levels of Carbon monoxide in our house, so if we had stayed in the house all night then we all could have died," Jackie said.
Her close call really sank in later that morning.
"I could have just not woken up today, and that was just terrifying," she said.
The Ohio Department of Health says on its website that 500 Americans die of CO poisoning each year. Last December, a Bexley woman lost her life. Earlier this week, firemen rescued people from an apartment building thick with carbon monoxide.
Worthington fire Captain Jay Arnholt said it's a silent killer.
"Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and you can't see it."
Captain Arnholt said the gas often escapes from a bad water heater or furnace. He recommended a yearly furnace check, but that's not enough.
"Because heat exchangers can crack and you can have a problem with your fuel-fired appliances," he explained.
So the captain suggested putting a CO detector by the bedrooms. One per floor is even better, he said. And if the alarm does go off don't open windows...get out...and call 911.
"It is helpful to leave your windows and doors closed, and not ventilate prior to our arrival. Because if there is something present, we, it will be easier for us to find that," he said.
Jackie knows not to play around when it comes to safety. She shared her story with friends so they will know the dangers of carbon monoxide.
"You think that everything will be fine, but maybe it's not fine. And you could die," she said.
The captain said that carbon monoxide also can come from problems with fireplaces, space heaters that run on kerosene, and generators.
He recommended backing the car out of the garage all the way before you warm it up, so fumes won't blow back into the house.
Currently, Ohio has no law requiring apartments to have CO detectors.


text: Politics 20 February 2013 4G auction raises £1bn less than expected £3.5bn has been pre-spent; just £2.35bn will be arriving in the coffers. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The auction for the 4G mobile communications spectrum has raised just £2.34bn, over £1bn short of expectations. Since the money has been effectively pre-spent by the chancellor in the most recent budget, the discrepancy will be extremely problematic for the Government's budget plans. The £2.34bn will buy five companies — EE, 3, O2, Vodafone and a new operator "Niche Spectrum Ventures Ltd" (owned by BT) — access to the 4G spectrum. This will allow those operators to run mobile broadband throughout much of the UK, and is partly enabled by the switch-off of analogue TV, which freed up part of the 4G spectrum for alternative use. While the Chancellor was apparently greedy in assuming that Britain could earn £3.5bn from the sale of the spectrum, the last auction like this, held under Gordon Brown's treasury, raised £22bn. But the 3G sale was markedly different from the 4G one. Held in the midst of the dot-com boom, the hope for revenue from the new technology was inflated beyond the realms of possibility, and a concerted PR campaign on the part of the government running for three years beforehand ensured that hype reached fever pitch. Take, for example, Webvan. The company was founded with the promise of same-day delivery in the San Francisco area on a number of basic products — it was, basically, Ocado. But unlike Ocado, it had a market cap post-IPO of $8bn. Ocado, undoubtedly better than Webvan in every aspect, but ten years later, went for a quarter of that. In other words: the 2010s are not the 2000s when it comes to making big money from technology. The 3G auction was also successful, however, in managing expectations. The general assumption was that "licences would sell for a total of about £2-4 billion", according to Ken Binmore and Paul Klemperer, authors of the definitive look at the auction. If this Chancellor has made one mistake, it was overinflating expectations — and if he's made two, it was writing those overinflated expectations into the nation's budget. His hubris will sting this morning. › An ermine-cloaked rotten borough: the bizarre by-election in the House of Lords 4G iPads.

"We were an international university at our onset" rings true as colleagues from William & Mary travel across Asia to gather alumni, students and parents together to celebrate Tribe pride.
The first stop is Hong Kong, with its deep bustling harbor, dense landscape of skyscrapers and thick summer humidity. On Monday, June 13, Jim Hunter '85, P '19 hosted alumni, and current and incoming students and parents at a reception in his EY offices. Jim warmly welcomed guests and provided a view into how important William & Mary is and has been to him and his family.
"My whole outlook on my academic focus really changed and developed while I was at William & Mary and was incredibly impactful on me. Since leaving the 'Burg in 1985 . . . I have always maintained a connection with William & Mary. It was partly because of the experience that I had but it is also in large part because I want to see William & Mary become all that it can be. Being able to explain the history of the school to people here in Asia really makes me proud of how important William & Mary has been in American history and in global academic standards. I am also very proud that my son (Ian Hunter '19) now goes to William & Mary."
Vernon Hurte, senior associate dean of students and assistant to the vice president, and director of the Center for Student Diversity greeted the audience from the Dean of Students Office. He also introduced fellow W&M colleagues and travel mates: Mark Sikes Ph.D '15, associate dean of students and director of Parent & Family Programs; Lauren Garrett '02, director of First Year Experience; Sani Silvennoinen, executive director of regional and international advancement; and Kelly S. Holdcraft, senior director of alumni engagement.
Hurte welcomed incoming undergrad Lila Szweda '20 and her parents Elise and Eric Szweda, and incoming M.B.A. student Angus Yau M.B.A. '18 into the wonderful Tribe community of scholars and leaders. Vernon discussed how "in Student Affairs, we are in the business of helping all of our students to flourish, to find their way and to find their path. We are excited to welcome students this fall and to be a part of the beginning of their journey in adding to the William & Mary tradition and the great work they shall continue to do."
Angus Yau, who received his undergraduate degree at the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University, is heading back to the Hampton Roads, Va., area from Hong Kong to study the Real Estate Path of Distinction in the full time M.B.A. program at the Raymond A. Mason School of Business. Lila Szweda is a graduate of Hong Kong International School where she and Ian Hunter '19 sang in the choir together. Lila is excited to study marine biology at William & Mary, and it was her interaction with VIMS Dean John Wells, along with the opportunity to study with and research alongside VIMS professors that helped her choose W&M over Tulane University.
William & Mary Professor Mike Tierney '87, P '15 provided alumni, students and parents in Hong Kong with an engaging look at AidData projects, including their collection, curation and publication of data on Chinese development projects in Africa. He continued to highlight how William & Mary "helps students learn things that they can't learn as a 19-year-old attending another university." Throughout his discussion, Tierney gave examples of how the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations (ITPIR) and AidData empower their students as research partners. In 2012, when William & Mary was chosen by USAid as one of seven major universities to receive significant funding as a development lab, the AidData team had Alena Stern '12 present their data at a conference in Washington, D.C. While the other universities brought up deans and white-haired professors, William & Mary trusted their student to be the voice of their team. In fact, Rajiv Shah, head of USAid was seen turning to a colleague and saying in admiration, "Is that a student?"
At the close of the event, Ian and Lila were asked to lead the group in the singing of "Alma Mater." Members of the Tribe could hear the "Hark Upon the Gale" from across the globe.

Rail projects facing cash squeeze
Lack of money has forced the alteration and in some cases postponement of a number of key rail projects, it was announced on Thursday.
BBC News Online takes a look at the lines and projects affected by the cash squeeze.
The projects to be revised by the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) are:
This project to upgrade this main London to Scotland route will be trimmed to such an extent that there are fears about how much of the work will go ahead.
Some work will begin in 2004-05 - at Allington in Lincolnshire - to help separate fast trains from slower trains crossing the main line.
Preliminary works will also be carried out to benefit capacity at the southern end of the route.
But plans to increase train frequencies, which could be carried out between 2005-10, are now "subject to affordability and further assessment of value for money".
The future funding will be determined after a wider study takes place.
This scheme - due to be completed by 2006 - has been put back two years after a revision caused when "projected costs had increased significantly".
London Mayor Ken Livingstone backed this scheme to provide east to west cross-London rail travel.
The SRA and the Transport for London body are preparing the business case for the project but no commitment has yet been forthcoming to finance the scheme, nor has any firm decision been taken on the exact route.
This £9.7bn upgrade on the London to Scotland route has already been much delayed, after the SRA announced the revised plan for the project last year.
The scheme is scheduled to be finished in its entirety by 2008 to making journey times between London, the Midlands, the north of England and Scotland much reduced as 125mph tilting trains operate on the line.
Power supply problems have thwarted the introduction of a number of trains due to replace the old slam-door rolling stock on southern England commuter routes.
The SRA is expected shortly to announce the award of a £1bn contract for a power supply upgrade which will enable the new trains to be introduced.
A feasibility study has suggested that new lines carrying 200mph trains could be better value for future building, than upgrading existing lines.
The study found that by 2016, major main lines will be running to full capacity.
The SRA is to consult on the conclusions of the study and said on Thursday that creating new lines for high-speed trains rivalling the French TGV version - could "bring significant wider benefits to the UK economy".
Plans to improve freight links between Southampton and the West Coast Main Line via the West Midlands and Reading have been reduced in scope.
A programme of resignalling and other infrastructure works to improve freight services between Felixstowe in Suffolk and Nuneaton in the West Midlands has also been deferred.
A further freight service improvement scheme - the TransPennine to South Humberside project - is also being deferred.
These are smaller schemes funded by the Rail Passenger Partnership scheme.
The SRA says that between 2003-05 there will be "very limited funds available" for any new schemes.
This is a north-south cross-London rail improvement scheme, designed to create better services and links for those travelling to and through London from both north and south of the capital.
The scheme had already faced delay - the project was due to commence this year but was put back a year. Now the work, which was due to finish in 2008, could be delayed even longer.
Not directly the result of price cuts, the delay has been prompted by the government's intervention.
It wants the rail authorities to come up with new proposals to counter what it believes are "serious deficiencies" in the Thameslink 2000 plans.

I miss the days when Mozilla used version numbers correctly and this would have been version 9.8 or something. This is getting ridiculous. Is FireFox the new AOL or something?
No matter how much you increase the number to make it look like a major upgrade, it'll never be as fast or as good as to use as Chrome. I honestly read every other month that Firefox has had a major update -_-
Yet no one complains when Chrome does it...
Chrome Releases
Best browser in the world. The tons of add-ons available is the main reason why I use Firefox
Those add-ons doesn't make Firefox stable... I have a lot of crashes when using add-ons..
True, when ever firefox updates, add-ons are no longer compatible with the new versions. However, the basic add-ons I use always work and they are good enough

Lohn Production - An Economic Or Social Measure?
The rapid Romanian disintegration of the planned economy and the economic crises after 1989 imposed the large amounts of activity in the production units; the easiest way of maintain these of units - with no effects - was the subcontracting for the re-exportation system. This system is very important for foreign (commerce: over 75% of Romanian export to the European Union is in subcontracting for re-exportation system. This huge percent is possible because the subcontracting for re-exportation system allows a better management of the production capacities in order to maintain jobs or to create new ones, and in this way the competition producers a more important roll in what cancers the demands of consumers and it attracts foreign investors, also.

I made up a batch of smoked deviled eggs for a cookout tonight. They went over very well and were really easy.
Lightly smoke peeled hardboiled eggs in the smoker, on a veggie rack,before making into deviled eggs. The eggs will take on a light brown color on the outside and become a bit firmer. Thet do retain a nice smoke flavor.
I prefer a bit of oak for smoke flavor.

The student must keep a contemporaneous journal of activities during the externship. It should be in narrative form and should include:
These reports must meet the set minimum requirements specified in the course syllabus.
At the end of the externship, the student must submit a Final Report on the externship experience.
Generally, the final report should reflect on the externship experience as a whole. Although it may naturally include some repetition with portions of the student's contemporaneous journals, it should be a report that stands on its own and provides an end-of-term retrospective summary of the student's externship experiences and their educational significance. The report should include:
The student's supervising attorney at the host organization must submit a formal written evaluation of the student's performance to the Office of Experiential Learning at the end of the externship. This evaluation should detail the work the student has done and the supervisor's evaluation of their work during the time period covered.
At the end of your externship, please use this link to evaluate your externship placement, including what type of work you did, how you found your position, and your overall experience. Your information will be shared with future students via the Public Service Network, if you opt to allow it, and we really hope you will! To read about prior students' externship experiences, please visit the Public Service Network.

Australian chef Tetsuya Wakuda's Waku Ghin restaurant in Singapore has made its debut in second place in the Miele Guide's list of top restaurants in Asia for 2013.
The guide ranked Waku Ghin as the highest new entrant in the top 20 list, announced on Tuesday evening in Singapore.
Top twenty | The Miele Guide names the 20 best restaurants in Asia
Photo gallery | Discover some of the Miele Guide's top ranked restaurants, and chefs, in Asia
Waku Ghin – chef Wakuda's second behind his namesake, Tetsuya's, in Sydney – is sandwiched in the guide between two restaurants of esteemed chef Joel Robuchon.
Robuchon au Dome in Macau was crowned Asia's best restaurant and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Hong Kong ranked third.
Robuchon au Dome gained three spots on the fourth place it held in the 2011-12 guide, and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon retained third place.
Iggy's restaurant in Singapore, which was No.1 in the previous guide, fell to fourth place.
Mozaic in Bali jumped to fifth place from 12th place.
In a statement, the Miele Guide said that while Waku Ghin's debut at second place was "an amazing feat for any new restaurant, this achievement is almost understandable when it is a restaurant by Japan-born Australian chef Tetsuya Wakuda".
"Restraint, elegance and respect of both humble and premium ingredients characterise the omakase menu, which pays more tribute to chef Wakuda's homeland than the original Tetsuya's."
Waku Ghin ranked 39th in the 2012 S.Pellegrino best restaurants in the world awards, well ahead of Robuchon au Dome (previously known as Robuchon a Galera) in 82nd place.
The Miele Guide said Robuchon au Dome's recent facelift "provided a fitting stage for the brilliance of chef Francky Semblat [and] propelled this old favourite to the number one spot".
The Miele Guide ranks the 500 best restaurants across 17 countries in Asia.
Other new entrants in the Top 20 include Amber and One Harbour Road in Hong Kong, Nihon Ryori, RyuGin in Tokyo and Metis Restaurant and Gallery in Bali.

PASSIONATE football fan Chris Daw will watch AFC Bournemouth take on Liverpool today (Sat Jan 25) after winning the hottest tickets in town – courtesy of the Daily Echo.
The 37-year-old Allenbourne Middle School teacher had given up on getting tickets to the sought after cup tie when his wife Claire suggested he enter the Daily Echo's competition.
And on Thursday Chris was told he had won and will be among the thousands watching the Cherries take on the Premier League giants.
Chris has followed Liverpool FC since childhood but also takes an interest in the Cherries. He said: "As soon as the draw was made my first thought was 'How can I get tickets?'
"But I quickly realised how busy it would be and I saw the reports of how big the queues were. I had friends who were turned away because they were too far back in the queue to get tickets.
"I gave up on the idea but my wife didn't. She saw the competition in the Echo and said I had nothing to lose by giving it a go.
