Goal | Assessment |
Maintain carbon neutrality across our operations. |
For the third year in 2012, ANZ has maintained its commitment to carbon neutrality. Low Carbon Australia has certified ANZ's Australian operations as carbon neutral under the National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS). |
Evaluate the pilot of our revised Environmental Management System (EMS) and expand to cover two material markets in our Asian business. |
In our workplaces, we continually seek to identify, control, and improve our environmental performance. Our Environmental Management System (EMS) provides a structured approach to assessing the operational impact of our physical footprint on the environment and helps set targets to improve our performance. Following a successful pilot in Singapore in 2011, we have continued to roll-out the EMS across our operations in Asia during 2012, with a focus on Cambodia and India. The continued expansion of the EMS across Asia has included the extension of our online environmental reporting, which now captures data from over 30 countries, thereby improving our ability to manage our environmental performance. |
Work towards achieving our three year environmental targets in Australia and New Zealand in the following areas: greenhouse gas, premises energy, commercial waste, water, paper and air travel. |
ANZ has delivered a strong 2012 result in managing our environmental performance against the targets set as part of our commitment to 'urban sustainability'. ANZ has met nine out of thirteen environmental performance targets in 2012 against the 2011 baseline. While we significantly exceeded our environmental targets in reducing GHG emissions, travel, waste and paper usage in Australia, we did not meet our energy reduction target with increased energy usage from growth in our data centres and as a result of increased gas consumption associated with the commissioning of the tri-generation plant at ANZ Centre, Melbourne. Whilst premises energy, travel and waste reduced, GHG emissions increased in NZ due to a decrease in the amount of hydro power available as a result of reduced rainfall. Although office paper consumption in NZ reduced compared to 2011, we fell slightly short of our target. The move to on-line statements and eco-efficient print technologies in our NZ offices will ensure that ANZ remains 'on track' to deliver its 2014 customer and office paper reduction targets. |
We monitor, set targets and report progress annually on a number of environmental impact areas relating to our Australia and New Zealand operations, including: energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, paper and resource efficiency.

Support the design, building and construction sectors in advancing urban sustainability by conducting education sessions at our 6-Star Green Star Global Headquarters. | A total of 1203 people have visited the ANZ Centre as a result of tours conducted in 2011. In addition, the ANZ Centre was a finalist for the Built Environment Award for Harmonious Manmade Landscapes of the 2011 Banksia Awards. |
Maintain our carbon neutral commitment across our operations globally. | ANZ has maintained its commitment to carbon neutrality. Low Carbon Australia has certified ANZ's Australian operations as carbon neutral under the National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS). Simultaneously, we have offset the carbon emissions from our operations outside of Australia, consistent with the NCOS. In keeping with ANZ's super regional strategy, our offset projects are primarily based in developing countries where we have a growing presence such as India, China, Cambodia and Indonesia. |
Implement our revised Environmental Management System (EMS) in a pilot market in Asia. | ANZ has developed a simplified global Environmental Management System (EMS) in response to a review by external experts in 2011. A country specific EMS was developed for Singapore and will be finalised for New Zealand in the first quarter of 2012. |
Work towards achieving our two year environmental goals in Australia and New Zealand. | ANZ has delivered a strong FY11 result in managing our environmental sustainability performance against the targets set as part of our commitment to 'urban sustainability'. ANZ has met, and in some cases significantly exceeded, eight out of ten environmental performance targets by September 2011 against the baseline set in 2009. We have not met our two year targets for absolute reduction in GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions and paper consumption per full time employee equivalent (FTE) in Australia. However, have exceeded performance against target in energy per FTE, potable water consumption and waste recycling and meet or exceed all our New Zealand environmental targets. |

Review our Environmental Management System (EMS) for implementation across our key markets. | The ANZ Group EMS is being reviewed to provide an appropriate framework for the APE&A region to adopt. The revised approach will be piloted in an Asian market in 2011. | |
Implement our carbon neutral strategy and become carbon neutral globally in line with the Australian Government's National Carbon Offset Standard. | ANZ will achieve its commitment to become carbon neutral across our business globally by the end of 2010 by purchasing a range of international carbon offsets. Our original timeframe to achieve carbon neutrality was delayed due to a reshaping of our business and regulatory developments in Australia. However, our commitment was applied retrospectively from 1 October 2009, thereby achieving our original target. Our commitment to carbon neutrality is aligned with the Australian Government's National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS), a voluntary framework that provides accreditation for companies to become carbon neutral. |
The future
In 2011 we will embark on a significant footprint reduction program delivered through greater engagement and collaboration across our business. We will begin by focusing with dedicated emission reduction programs on the largest areas of impact which is property energy efficiency, as well as air travel and paper consumption.
We will continue our program of monitoring environmental impacts outside of Australia and New Zealand. Once we feel confident with the data and have established baselines we will begin reporting this data publicly.

I would just like you to know that you are losing customers as they are losing their patience with the abysmal levels of support and information offered. I feel I have been patient in allowing the staff to try and correct my impression, however I've grown tired of waiting for something, anything, to happen and I'm left with a feeling that I've been lied to and cheated out of my money for this product.
Needless to say really, I will not be recommending anyone to purchase this game in its current state.
I'm assuming you will fix some of the major issues with the game eventually. Hopefully by the time I pick up a copy from the 3 for $10 bin, things will be different. I love the Civ series and this game has real potential, I just wish it wasn't rushed to be sold before completion.
Best of luck to you all; devs, mods and players alike.

Anonymous, Love these needles
Started off using these for cosmetic facial acupuncture as there were the most comfortable for the patient. Have also been using them for wrist and ankle acupuncture - they just slide in like butter without any discomfort. Worth the extra pennies.

DA investigates possible Sunland open meetings violation
The attorney general has also been asked to consider whether the city violated the Open Meetings Act by appointing Javier Perea to be mayor without letting everyone who sought to attend – including two others who wanted the job – into its meeting.
The Doña Ana County district attorney says her office is investigating the possibility that the Sunland Park City Council violated the N.M. Open Meetings Act last week when it selected a new mayor.
District Attorney Amy Orlando confirmed that her office is investigating, and said she's also checking with Attorney General Gary King to see whether his office plans to investigate. The Open Meetings Act can be enforced by either agency.
The city council appointed 24-year-old Javier Perea to the mayor's job last week after postponing a previous meeting that got rowdy because there were too many people to fit in the room. But the crowd was still too big to fit into the larger venue chosen for the new meeting, and many people – including at least two who wanted to ask for the appointment to the mayor's job – were kept by police from entering.
The Open Meetings Act requires that anyone who tries to attend a public meeting of a government body be allowed in. Actions taken in violation of the law can be invalidated by a court. In addition, a violation is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine.
The act has rarely been enforced with criminal charges. The only time I've ever seen such enforcement involved the Las Cruces Public Schools Board of Education. In 2002, then-Attorney General Patricia Madrid prosecuted five board members for secretly giving the former superintendent almost $1 million in incentives to try to keep him in Las Cruces. All five were convicted.
Orlando or King could file criminal charges against members of the Sunland Park City Council if they believe they find justification, or they could sue to ask a judge to rescind Perea's appointment, or both.
Attorney general also asked to investigate
Gwyneth Doland, executive director of the N.M. Foundation for Open Government, told me for a commentary I published Monday that if she were one of the people who wanted to be considered for the appointment but wasn't allowed in the meeting, "I'd be talking to my lawyer right now."
At least one of those two is challenging Perea's appointment. Jesse Grajeda was quoted today by the Albuquerque Journal as saying he's asked King to get involved. From the Journal:
"By Monday afternoon, however, another prospect for the mayor's office, Jesse Grajeda, said he was preparing to file a formal complaint alleging the City Council violated the state Open Meetings Act when Perea was appointed because members of the overflow crowd were prevented from entering the Senior Center hall where the meeting was held."
Grajeda, Orlando disclosed, used to work with her in the district attorney's office. But Orlando told NMPolitics.net her investigation isn't about giving him another chance to be mayor – it's about ensuring the law is enforced.
Grajeda isn't the only one filing a complaint. From the Las Cruces Sun-News:
"Sun-News Editor Jim Lawitz faxed a letter Monday to King, requesting that the likely open meetings act violation in Sunland Park be investigated.
"'It is our belief that city council broke the law,' Lawitz said. 'Now it's up to the Attorney General's Office to decide.'"
From Lawitz's letter:
"The Sun-News several times in recent years has reported about likely violations of state open meetings act laws by Sunland Park officials. And residents have long complained of other violations, including of the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act. We believe a strong part of what has cultivated an environment for public corruption to thrive in Sunland Park is the fact that city officials have not been held legally liable for violating state open government laws. … Sunland Park officials must learn that the state's sunshine laws indeed must be taken seriously."

Thanks Gnat. One question though: am i right that the proxyShape is relevant? As you know, you can have 2 separate models per ammo, one being the model shown attached to the plane, the other inflight. Mostly they are identical but there are a few with different models, mainly unfolding winglets.
Looking at BIS config, it seems that proxyshape is relevant just would like to have this confirmed.
Btw, the test config i sent you already contains those proxy definitions for all weapons of the Missilebox, so if you have a minute to check if it works correct, i would really appreciate it, mate.

Thursday night this was the moment when history unfolded at the United Nations.
The voting has been completed.
-- that the general assembly officially change the Palestinians status from a UN observer.
To a non member observer state.
What's like the Vatican.
The final vote today a landslide 138.
To nine.
-- everybody else abstaining.
The United States and Israel -- strongest opponents of this resolution tonight they're reacting with sharp criticism.
But the Palestinian people their pretty excited about it at all.
Today's vote doesn't give them independents but it is a step in that direction they believe.
And just look at the seed in the West Bank this is Ramallah just minutes after the results became official.
Thousands of people celebrating in the streets there hope that the general assembly's endorsement gives them more leverage when they're negotiating with Israel.
Now let's look at what how they're getting those to get negotiations done.
These are the current borders in the Middle East has seen on this map the Palestinians want Israel to go back to the lines drawn.
In a war in 1967.
To 67 borders they call it.
Give back the land in the west bank and Gaza and East Jerusalem that the Israelis captured in that six days of war.
Keep in mind we're just days into a truce in the latest conflict between Israelis and Hamas militants who run the West Bank what's -- -- -- run Gaza.
And the Palestinians say today's development could help bring about peace in the region not sabotage it is the Israelis and some in Washington -- Today's grand pronouncements will soon trade him.
And the Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow.
And find that little about their lives and that's changed and -- that the prospects of a terrible piece.
Have only receded.
And minutes after the vote secretary of state Hillary Clinton echoed that perspective calling today's vote unfortunate.
And counterproductive.
-- that we have team fox coverage of today's developments Jonathan.
It's well first we're gonna have David Lee Miller in Jerusalem but first let's get to The Fox Report -- correspondent Jonathan Hunt whose -- force the United Nations.
-- a lot of strong words there today.
Get very strong language indeed chat on the Palestinian side.
President Mahmoud Abbas described this resolution as quote.
-- lost jobs for peace implicit in that is the argument that by recognizing.
A Palestinian state.
The United Nations emboldens and strengthens.
Mahmoud Abbas is a moderate fat top -- against the mall militant Hamas.
From the Israeli side -- officials said.
This is not a -- at any particular Palestinian faction.
And they said in fact that Palestinians all of all political stripes have repeatedly turned away from negotiations.
And towards violence here -- the arguments from both sides in the order that they were presented.
To the general assembly listened.
-- Did you honestly and don't stand for -- moral duty.
But the movie.
Which it must not tennis people -- And fans who -- starting duty.
Which come out and do route further delayed.
The choices that Israel wants peace and the Palestinians are avoiding peace those -- -- -- the resolution today.
I'm not advancing -- they are undermining -- The UN was founded to advance the cause of peace today the Palestinians are turning their back.
On peace.
The US of course agreed -- that Israeli argument but not many other nations did.
Only eight in fact to joining the United States in voting no to recognizing a Palestinian state -- Jonathan as you mentioned a lot of symbolism there but a practical matter of importance as well.
When it comes to the international criminal court.
Yet this is the practical since it concerned at least the biggest practical concern here.
Is that by recognizing a Palestinian state that also gives the Palestinians.
Access to the international criminal caught.
And Mahmoud -- -- pointedly used the phrase.
-- crying is in his speech an indication.
That Palestinians may well try to bring war crimes charges against Israeli generals all politicians in the international criminal court.
If that happens it is very hard to -- prime minister Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas all -- -- any of their underlings sitting down -- any kind of peace negotiations.
That is their practical concern tonight -- Jonathan Hunt at the United Nations for -- Jonathan thanks --

Partners and children of migrant workers and students
This page explains how the family members of migrant workers and students can apply to come to the UK.
Family members of migrants under the points-based system
If you are the partner or dependent child under 18 of a migrant who is in or coming to the UK under most categories of the points-based system, you can apply for a visa to join them here. Before you apply, you must read the policy guidance for points-based system dependants, which you can download from the right side of this page.
Family members of migrant workers in other immigration categories
If you are the partner or dependent child under 18 of a migrant who is in or coming to the UK in most work categories outside the points-based system, you can apply for a visa to join them here.
The migrant worker will need to prove that they can support you and themselves without needing state benefits or other public funds. You will need to show that:
- you intend to live with the migrant worker during their stay, and your relationship is genuine (not a 'marriage of convenience'), if you are their partner; or
- you have not formed an independent family unit and are not leading an independent life, if you are their child aged under 18.
How to apply from outside the UK
Depending on the country where you live, you might need to make your application online or using one of our application forms:
- VAF10, if you are the dependant of a migrant under the points-based system
- VAF2, if you are the dependant of a migrant in a different category
You can download these application forms and their guidance notes from the right side of this page.
As part of your application, you will need to enrol your fingerprints and facial image (known as 'biometric information') at a visa application centre.
Select your country in our country finder to find out:
- how to apply in your country (including how to apply online);
- the location of our visa application centres;
- how long we generally take to process visa applications; and
- how your documents will be returned to you.
If your application is successful, you can find information about what will happen at the border (including customs requirements) in the Customs and travel information section.

Our Visa services section lists our recent processing times for different application types in each country around the world.
Applying from the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man
The Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey, Herm, Sark and Alderney) and the Isle of Man have their own immigration laws and policies. For immigration control, we consider that these islands are outside the UK.
If you are living in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, and the island authorities have given you permission to enter or stay there (also known as 'entry clearance' or 'leave to remain'), you cannot apply directly from the island for permission to enter the UK.
To apply for permission to enter the UK, you have 2 options:
- you can return to the country where you are normally resident (your 'home country') and apply from there for a visa to enter the UK; or
- if your permission to stay on the island is still current, and if UK immigration law allows you to 'switch' from your current immigration category on the island into this category, you can travel to the UK and apply from here. We will treat your current permission to stay as if it had been given by the UK authorities. You must apply to switch before your current permission to stay on the island expires. See the Common Travel Area page on our website for more information.
You may need to apply for a visa before you come to the UK from the islands. For more information, see section 2 of our Immigration directorate instructions, Chapter 1.

He began with just one spot about two weeks ago, but now there are four. What can I do to help him?
Callused skin is actually fairly common in dogs. Calluses, thick pads of tough, often hairless skin, are formed when skin repeatedly rubs against rough surfaces, such as concrete in a dog run or scratchy indoor-outdoor carpeting. Calluses don't pose a serious health risk; they mostly just look unsightly and bother some pet owners.
The best treatment for calluses is to protect your dog from abrasive surfaces. Monitor where he sits and lies; put padding down in his favorite sleeping places. If he is confined to an area such as a dog run or a basement for periods during the day, make sure he has a soft, clean, comfortable area to lie down, so he won't lie on the concrete or the hard floor.
Aloe lotion can also soften the calluses and improve the appearance of your dog's skin, but be careful when softening calluses. They develop as a way for the skin to protect itself against damage. If you soften your dog's skin and it keeps coming into contact with rough surfaces, the skin could develop scrapes, sores, or other problems.

Online Reservations
Went with a large group while we were all in town for a conference, amazing dinner with incredible food and great cocktails.
Another great meal at Coquette! We go whenever we are in town and it's always wonderful. Don't decide on Friday afternoon you want to go there unless you want to eat early or late. The flavor combinations are so inventive and delicious. The bread is to die for!
Food was superb. All 3 of us raved about our lunches.
Loved this place. The burger was phenomenal and the pork was delicious.
We did the chef's blind tasting menu with the wine pairing and found it exceptional.
Loved it!! Everything was great. The sweet Potato pasta and the duck were highlights. I will definitely be coming back!
Very cute dinning place. Took some of the friends from San Francisco to this restaurant & they absolutely adored the authentic New Orleans charm. Food was definitely worth the price. Also my friends loved the cocktails.
The service and the food were excellent and the atmosphere was sophisticated without being pretentious. Perhaps our best meal in NO to date.
Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food and atmosphere were fabulous! A bit pricey but worth every penny.
What a find. Servers were so cute and smiling. The combinations of ingredients was so intriquing and worked beautifully. Hate to go on how wonderful a spot this is because I do not want to have to wait months for my next reservation !! Great find and off the noisy tourist circut.
I town for a meeting, and luckily found Coquette. Food and service was fabulous and the ambiance was deligthful. I'd eat there on a regualr basis if I lived in the NO area.
One of the best meals I've had. We did the blind chef tasting with wine pairings, and it was excellent. The food was innovative, fresh, and delicious. The butternut squash squash cavatelli was the highlight of the meal for me, but everything was really delicious. The service was also excellent, and it was a a real treat for the chef to make an appearance at our table. Overall, wonderful meal and great atmosphere. It will be a stop on every New Orleans trip.
Absolutely delicious. Gorgeous food served impeccably. Thank you.
The five course blind tasting and optional wine pairing are highly recommended. Each course was spot-on, and it was surprisingly not too much food. A great success!
This was far and away the best food we had in New Orleans. It's a good thing I don't live near Coquette or I'd want to eat there every night. I cannot recommend this place enough.
This friendly, cozy restaurant has excellent food. We had a wonderful meal and regretted we didn't have time for a second time. The menu is full of wonderful things, we each had a small plate and a large plate and two desserts! Wonderful!
I have been twice and each time the Cavatelli was quite different but also quite amazing at the same time. I will never go and not have the Cavatelli, such a unique and tasty dish. The fish is excellent but hoping to get back to try a steak at least once and I never eat desserts but those at the table who did were happy and yes I had to taste it. Peanut Butter Sorbet is crazy good, amazing food. We pride ourselves on our choice of restaurants and often eat in top ten spots in the area and around the country, Coquette is in my top five.
I've lunched at Coquette 5 or 6 times and enjoyed it each time. The dinner experience was not quite as good primarily because of the noisy atmosphere. There were two large tables of people and they were having the tasting menu. We were two people overwhelmed by our neighbors. I had a very tasty duck dish, which I enjoyed.
I booked Coquette for one of three dinners while staying in the French Quarter. The food was excellent, great, unique cocktails and the service was top notch!
Sent my parents there for a special meal on a night that I had another commitment during their visit. They said: Delighted with our visit. Can't wait to go again!
My friends and I always go out for our respective birthdays, and it seems that we now ALWAYS go to Coquette. The wine list never disappoints; the cuisine is fresh and innovative; and we would all "kill" for the delicious bread! It is a neighborhood gem.
This is a small, intimate restaurant. The décor is pretty but not overdone or in your face. There are maybe 15 tables, max. The food is unique but not so out there that you can't wrap your head around the menu. The appetizer was pickled veggies that were pickled by the chef that included muscadine grapes and leeks. Perfect portion sizes and knowledgeable staff. The one disappointment was the coffee at the end of the meal. I would have thought, with such an innovative chef, that there would have been some fabulous custom roasted independent coffeehouse coffee being served (albeit, it was served French press). However, it was Starbucks. Amazing in almost everyway and tucked on Magazine Street well away from the masses in the French Quarter.
Did tasting menu and it was perfect. Very thoughtful and modern. Each course raised the bar blowing us away. Would highly recommend going. Will be back.
my fiance and I had the tasting menu 5 course meal. It was hands down one of the most amazing dinning experiences I have had and truly a memorable birthday dinner. The service was amazing and food was amazing. I really enjoyed the dessert with pop rocks hidden inside. BTL
Coquette is a smallish neighborhood place with energy. The menu is short and changes daily. Options and combinations can be somewhat offbeat, yet still familiar, which makes it an interesting experience. Ingredients seem to be top notch and handled well. The style might be classified as new, New Orleans. It may not be for everyone.
Classic New Orleans ambiance with knowing service and cuisine that beats your expectations.
This is my new favorite restaurant in New Orleans - food is fresh, creative and delicious. I love everything about this place.
This was a meal of gastronomic proportions! Flavors were exquisite and portions were perfect! This unique menu changes regularly but don't fear, there's something for everyone.
My Friends and I had enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Coquette. The appetizers were creative and delicious. Our entree came to us in a timely fashion, and was prepared wonderfully flavorful. I enjoyed the fried soft shell crab dish, my friend had the duck, which also was very delicious. And for desert, the creative pastry chef prepared chocolate mousse with a small scoop of peanut butter ice cream. The wait staff were very friendly and knowledgable of the menu items. The atmosphere was quaint, but cozy. I will definately go back to visit again.
If you want to get away from the French Quarter take a short taxi ride to Magazine Street. Coquette exceeded my expectations - the food was wonderful. The menu was very innovative and incredibly well done. I like that they have small plates so that you can share lots of different things. I was very impressed with everything about it and recommend you try it!
This was my second visit, as I do not get to NOLA often anymore. But I intend to visit Coquette every trip. Love the place, the menu, the approach to great food, and a staff who "get's it" in my opionion. I watched as they handled an anniversary couple, a small group of freinds or a single diner, adapting perfectly to each situation. But the menu and food is why I will return agaian and again. Love the neighborhood, and the restaurant.
Start with a cocktail, if applicable. My choice is the gin based Le Reve it's floral and delicious. Thanks to an obliging wait staff, I now have the Le Reve recipe. The Sazerac is also good. Shrimp and grits or the steak with caramelized onions are both delicious.
It was my wife's first time there and I brought her for her birthday. It was a lovely experience--we got the tasting menu and added the wine option. The chef's selections were all perfectly cooked, simple but rich in flavor with a few fun points. We had the butternut squash cavatelli with fried chicken, the bone marrow mushroom and rice, the snapper, the duck breast, and a delightful dessert. The wine choices were fun and unexpected. Overall, a wonderful evening.
By a recommendation three times removed, four folk from rural Pennsylvania found Coquette. We loved the brick interior - and found the service attentive. The menu is not extensive - but provided enough choises for the four of us. There were not the traditional local cuisine selctions on the menu - but we tried their hogshead cheese - as our nod to the local taste. Two of us had duck, which was nicely prepared, and two had differenct fish selections. It seemed to be a restaurant that was trying to figure out if it was a neighborhood restaurant or an almost upscale New Orleans entry into the food scene. The prices were in the upper moderate to low expensive range. If I lived in New Orleans, I would give this restaurant another try.
Short but good menu, helped by great descriptions from the waiter. for example, we might not have ordered the vegetable salad until she described it as the best it town, and it was FABULOUS. impossible to describe, but beautifully crafted. great shrimp and oysters and good wine list. 3 stars for ambiance only because I was freezing.
Delicious meal composed of carefully prepared components. Delicious ! Our server was attentive and professional. We loved it!!
The food and the service were excellent. The place is small, but cozy. Several patrons ate at the bar. The portions were not large, but we felt them to be the perfect size.
What a wonderful neighborhood find. The food was outstanding and the menu had choices that weren't the "normal' brunch fare. Service was good and complete. Outside tables were wonderful. Not a negative thing in the experience. Definitely recommend it.
My husband and I had the 5 course tasting menu, we tried a few things we would have never tried had it not been for the Chef's choice, every course was outstanding, and very well balanced, can't wait to come back again!!! Forget to mention the cocktail my husband and I had were off the charts,
Very well done. Excellent value on the wine paring.
This was our fourth time here in the past 2 years and although every time has been great this time was extra special. A small changing menu keeps it fresh and exciting. The restaurant is pure uptown New Orleans , very quaint and classy in a relaxed way. We prefer to dine in the upper room and specified it in our reservation, which is a must if you want a weekend table. Our reservation was for Friday at 930 and the place was packed. The staff were all young folks and very good, friendly and accommodating. The food is artistic and off the charts for taste! We love this place, it is at the top of our list in a town known for fine cuisine, this is a gem!
This restaurant was suggested by family who live in the neighborhood when we were in town for a convention. We were not looking for the normal spot a tourist might eat. We were not disappointed. We do like to eat a little something when we enjoy a drink before dinner. There was nothing that fit the bill, but the waiter suggested the cheese plate from the dessert menu... perfect for what we like and four great cheeses. There is an upstairs area we did not see that might accomadate a group for a special occasion.
I got the Vegetarian small and large plate. The olive praline sprinkles were a great touch!
We've been coming since the soft opening. From the first cocktail to the last spoonful of dessert, never fails to amaze. Chef Mike is an artist and a genius. A can't miss spot if you're in from out of town.
There isn't a restaurant in New Orleans that I'd rather go to for lunch. Their three-course offering is always superb, and the drink menu is second to none. Perhaps most impressive, though, is the service. Always eager to help, the staff truly does an exquisite job taking care of their guests. Their fried anything, but specifically chicken, is as good as anywhere in the city. Champagne and fried chicken events are to die for. Five stars all around. My lone complaint is that it's not walking distance to my house.
The food at Coquette was creative and delicious. My husband and I eat out all over the world and this was a gem.
We went to Coquette for a dinner to celebrate a wedding renewal ceremony. I've eaten here on several occasions in the past, and the food did not disappoint. It was impeccably delicious. However, service was a bit less enthusiastic than on previous visits with servers getting who ordered what wrong on almost every trip to the table. Also, attention to and replenishment of bar drinks was slow. The staff was very accommodating to our party of 8 (with baby); noticing that the heat was blasting directly above our table on this cold Louisiana evening, they quickly modified the room temp. so that we could feel more comfortable. But on the whole, our team of waiter and waitress did not complement each other well, and our experience suffered for it.
The suprise menu, 5 courses, is a real pleasure, indulgence with no regret, a real joy for our palates. The chef selected a perfect fit of wine to each course, with a real highlight of the grenache-based blend going so well with the reddish, tenderly cooked duck
We truly enjoyed our evening at Coquette. The food, service, and ambiance were all superb. Our table was on the second floor which is much quieter than the ground level. This is always a reliable venue for our special occasions.
From the minute we arrived till we paid our check, the people at Coquette where attentive and helpful. We started with cocktails that were extraordinary. The food was inventive, surprising and top notch. Our waitress suggested some wine pairings, offering to pour half glasses in order to allow us to try different wines. Everything about the experience was special. In a town filled with outstanding restaurants, Coquette stands out as one of the best and with their constantly changing menu we will return again and again.

wilson k 98
by Wilson on Jan.24, 2011, under Intermediate, Wilson K Factor
The Wilson [k] Blade 98 Tennis Racquet is probably the most affordable pro racket on the market.
Some specifications:
- Head size: 98 square inches
- Length: 27 inches
- Weight: 11.3 ounces (strung)
- Stiffness: 60
- String pattern: 18 x 20
- Balance: 3 points, HL
- Cross section: 21 mm flat beam
- Grip: Wilson Kontrol Grip
- Grip sizes: 1 to 5
- Wilson Stiffness Index: 6
When you want to get some more control you usually will get a smaller racket head, thats where the k98 comes to action, with its 98 size head, it offers much better control.You'll get more control with that racket also because of its 18*20 string pattern which reflects a bit less spin to the ball, but will let you more control.Not that only, but the strings gets more durable with the 18*20 patterns as they don't move as free as with the more spaced patterns (16*18).
So why I love the Wilson [k] Blade 98:
Price! Only 129$ at amazon, but worth every buck!
Control! You get the K factor improved control plus the 98 head size and the dense strings pattern to get on of the best control rackets!
Accuracy! You get one of the best accurate rackets, ideal for back court players!
Here is what our readers think about the Wilson [k] Blade 98:
Stan: I love the K98, ny first under 100 head size racket. Why? thats easy: first of all its incredibly forgiving and comfortable for a player's racket. The first thing I noticed about the Wilson k blade 98 was its amazing contorl and precise shots.The second thing is that somehow it gave me more powerful and flat serves than ever and actually was surprised of how much power I added to my serves since I first used this. As for my sliced serves it made wonders. Very recommended!!!
Jen : Hey wilson-rackets.com readers, thanks for the opportunity to write my personal opinion about this one (wilson k98). For starters, I must say that I've been playing for along time with the nCode 90 (Fedderer's first Wilson racket I think), the nCode was a very controled racket, as you would expect from a 90inch head size ;-0, but it felt so heavy for me and I felt I couldn't play with it long matches and got a but tired during long rallies. Then I read about the k blade 98 and gave it s try. I must say that I was suspicious at the beginning, cause after playing with small head sizes for a long time I was afraid that the kBlade 98 wouldn't give me the control I was used to. I was very surprised to find out that it was a complete JOY!!! I get the ground strokes very good and its preatty easy to hit the ball for long shots. My regular opponent was amazed too, he was used to winning the long rallies, actually when he had to win a point , he new all he needs to do is to slow it down and stretch the point and he will eventually win it. Well no more!!! The best thing about it is (especially when you switch from a 95 or less racket to a 98-100 racket like the Blade 98 is that you get a lot of power that you weren't used to, just get used to the fact that you can get more power, not to miss the back-line and you are into a new world of tennis!!! There is now a BLX version of that racket, but I'm so pleased with the kBlade, that I won't take the chance , otherwise, I think I'll get another backup Wilson k98 just in case.
Want to share your thoughts about the Wilson [k] Blade 98 , Please feel free to add it!

From November 20 – December 31, 2013, young alumni who have not yet made a gift to the Annual Fund have an opportunity to double their impact. A generous member of the alumni community will match any gift – up to $1,000 per person – from an undergraduate alumnus/a who graduated between 2005 and 2013. In addition, any new donor who makes a gift on Wednesday, November 20, will receive a special Bentley University magnet! Learn more about this opportunity.
Gifts directed to the Annual Fund are put to immediate use in a variety of ways, providing timely assistance to address Bentley's greatest needs across campus:
Taking an integrated approach, Bentley exposes students to the world of business by combining a comprehensive menu of business studies with a diverse offering of courses in the arts and sciences. By attaining this critical academic balance, our students receive the education and experience they need to succeed and become well-rounded professionals.
Campus Life
Bentley's campus is a vibrant, bustling, treasure trove of opportunity and activity. With more than 100 undergraduate student organizations, a wide variety of varsity, club and intramural sports, and centers that encourage growth and development, Bentley gives students the opportunity to pursue their interests and broaden their horizons.
More than simply an assortment of classrooms, residence halls, study rooms and locker rooms, Bentley's world-class facilities play a key role in our students' university experience. Our contemporary facilities provide the optimum environment and services students require to advance their studies, experience the real world of business and, of course, enjoy their time at Bentley.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Even the most gifted student may need some extra help. That's why more than 70 percent of current Bentley students receive some form of financial aid. This financial support is vital, as it assists some of our finest students as they work, both in and out of the classroom, to earn their degree from Bentley University.

New Thai airline recruits "Ladyboys" as air hostesses
Thanyarat Jiraphatpakorn in the middle – when she won her title in 2007
A newly-formed Thai airline has recruited transsexuals as air hostesses, in a pioneering move it believes will be copied by other carriers.
PC Air, which has yet to take to the skies, selected three "Ladyboys" in its first round of hiring this week to promote equal opportunities for what is dubbed the "third sex" in Thailand.
Peter Chan, the new airline's boss, is enthusiastic about his groundbreaking move because of the opportunities it would afford transsexuals. "I think these people can have many careers – not just in the entertainment business – and many of them have a dream to be an air hostess," he said. "I just made their dream come true. Our society has changed. It's evolution. I'm a pioneer and I'm sure there will be other organisations following my idea."
One of the successful candidates was Thanyarat "Film" Jiraphatpakorn, who won the annual Miss Tiffany "katoey" beauty pageant in 2007. "At first I thought they would just take applications but not actually recruit us, as happened at other places before," said the 23-year-old, adding that she was delighted to have been chosen.
Thailand has the largest number of "katoeys" – as they are called in Thai – in the world, with the country's surgeons pioneering cheaper and quicker sex change operations because of the sky-high demand from men wishing to become women.
But PC Air did not make proof of sexual reassignment a criteria for the job, merely that the applicants possessed the necessary language skills and the potential to provide good service…
The transsexual flight attendants will wear special gold-coloured "third sex" name badges to help passengers and immigration staff to easily identify the gender they are faced with.
I hope they survive the stroll through the TSA gauntlet, say, in Dallas or another "enlightened" international airport like Charleston.

Rumor: Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die to release in North Amercia
A scan from of the latest Nintendo Power suggests that Chunsoft's Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die is to be released in North America by Aksys. According to the scan, posted by GoNintendo, the follow-up 999: Nine Hours, Nine Doors, Nine Persons will be released on 3DS later this year in the fall. The title was released in Japan for Vita as well, but the article doesn't mention that bit – it is a Nintendo-centric magazine after all. The news follows a tease Aksys put on its website a couple weeks back stating: "You might want to pick up the next Nintendo Power, on stands on 2/28, for a very special announcement." According to Siliconera, the firm also teased a "mystery game" heading to our fair shores in the fall as well – back in December. Sounds as though all signs are pointing to yes on this one despite the "No comment" from Aksys on the matter to the site.

Think of the 80GB slice as the "OS" volume rather than the "boot" volume. You still need a boot partition within this "OS" volume situated at the beginning of the disk. The boot partition doesn't need to be larger than 100-200MB. A good reason to use a "OS" slice is to use MS-DOS style partition tables for that slice and leave the remaining space on your array to be controlled by the GPT format partition table. And this is one of the many reasons that we'll all be happier when EFI replaces BIOS.

Today I endeavor to start anew.
Renewed and refilled with the ever changing essence that is me.
I hope to make it clear that this isn't just some new year garbled filled with resolutions and promises for a brighter 365 than previous. Nope, I've always tried to keep myself away from that trap… excluding the year I resolved to watch more television because a commercial told me to. :)
No. I'd Ike to stress that this is different. This is something that's been building and beginning in me for some time now but begins are simple: they happen. Starting is a choice and today I start to choose.
My mantra has always been a simple yet powerful thing, a single word to keep me moving when my strength is drowning. Flow. Like in Tao, I need to bend without breaking to withstand whatever storm blows my way. Nowadays though I know better, my strength isn't so much my question as perhaps my will. With that thought in mind I look to the other half of Tao. To stand firm, an indominable force in it's natural state.
My new mantra is 'Just do it.'
I need something I can't find, I make it.
I want something done and waiting for help is wearing on my bones, I do it.
Need this moved, I move it.
Need to know something, I find the answer.
I'm done with waiting, asking, etc. I will go get, go do, go, go, go!
I will be a force of nature, raw and true to my core.
I want to explain how I've come to these thoughts, the months that have been put behind so simple seeming words but I feel like I can babble on that for ages and that's not my goal. Right now I just want to say it, this morning I've chosen to renew myself. To start.
This means a lot for every aspect of my life but today's focus is mostly toward my writing. This morning as I lay between dream and enough awareness to know it was snowing outside I began to think about all my posts from the years previous. I began to realize that I'm not quite the person I was between those words. I am, I was but I am also something so much different. Everyday. So different.
