Reliable and easy to use.
Through years of development and field testing, Backcountry Access has made the Tracker DTS Beacon incredibly intuitive so it's fast and easy to use when you're under the stress of a real search. It's no wonder that the Tracker DTS is one of the most popular beacons in the backcountry. The digital display shows you both the distance and direction to your buried buddy, and in addition to standard single-search mode, the Tracker DTS includes a special mode which will give you the distance and direction to all signals in a narrowed search range. This may be the difference between saving one of your friends or both of them, so practice, practice, practice.
- Dual-antenna system allows quick and accurate searching
- Special multi-burial search mode gives your friends better odds if more than one of them ends up under the snow
- Direction and distance indicators make searching quick and efficient—just turn until the center arrow lights up, follow the transmission curve until the number reaches zero, then fine-search, probe, and shovel
- Beacon automatically switches back to transmit mode after 10 minutes of inactivity in case you get caught by hang fire
- Comfortable, easily accessed chest harness for touring
- 200-hour batter life on transmit mode keeps you up and running most of the season
- Wide body and large buttons make this beacon easy to manipulate with gloves on

My son just moved to utah and hits the back country alone sometimes. I have no idea which tracker to buy for him? Would you recommend this one as a first time user?
Member since
Yes, this would be a good beginner beacon. However, it won't do any good unless he is with someone capable of using it to locate him and dig him out in the event of a burial.
Does it come with the harness?

I moved from the east coast to Utah last winter and bought this beacon because of recommendations from more advanced backcountry skiers. I really couldn't be happier with it! Using it is very straightforward and intuitive. I've also noticed that it has a good battery life and the strap for carrying it is very comfortable.
Now that I'm getting more into backcountry skiing I'd eventually like to get a beacon with 3 antennas for multiple burials, however I'm still very happy with the Tracker DTS beacon and would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get into backcountry skiing and is on a budget.
Best bang for your buck!

I have used this thing for 4 years now. I have played around with a few of the Ortovox beacons since then, but I couldn't be happier with this one.
It is incredibly easy to use, especially for single burial. Multi-burial takes a lot more practice, but that's true to all beacons.
Don't hesitate to get this thing!
Functional, Easy to Use

This beacon is a great purchase for someone just starting to get into the backcountry. It is very easy to use, although you must practice and practice more so that you are ready to go in the event of a slide. The digital read out and arrow provide quick direction to burials. With 2 antennas, it is efficient but for multiple burials, 3 antennas will be more effective.

Hey Matt, This would be a great beacon to start with. Its also going to be one you can continue to use as its really easy to use and they are really durable. Any beacon is better than no beacon and this one is among one of the best in the market. Let us know if you need anything else. We are available on chat 24/7

Hey Jim,
To get your beacon fixed you will probably want to hit up Backcountry Access Warranty at email@example.com otherwise if you got this through us you can always hit up our Gearheads to see if there is anything we can do about replacing it.

This was my first beacon and I've stuck with it ever since. I feel like I know it well, but it's also so completely simple to use it doesn't take much extra thought and I like to keep things simple when in search mode with a beacon. I've done many many beacon searches and am still equally as fast as the others that I am searching with including multiple burials. Definitely curious to get comfortable with other great beacons, but so far I have been super happy with the BCA tracker. After five years of using this beacon, I have started to see less of a range recently and thus am retiring this beacon and getting another, but I have never had any other issues with this product. I think this is a great beacon for your first beacon and I personally still love this beacon now as an advanced skier/backcountry rider.

Bought on the recommendation of my avalanche instructor, the late/legendary Roger Payne. It is not the fanciest and doesn't have every bell and whistle but it is still the most popular in the world for a reason - it works and it is easy to use. Good battery life, good range, not too bulky. When testing/practicing, I've never had a misread or failure to identify another device. Wear every time I go off piste.

This beacon is simple, easy to use (even with gloves on) and easy to read. The harness is comfortable and I love that the on/off switch is on the back of the beacon. Once it's on, it's hard to get off while on the go. This beacon has duel antennas to make the searching quick. Although this works with multiple burials, I personally would want a beacon with 3 antennas for multiple burials, the 3 would be more accurate and better range. This beacon is great for entry level skiiers. PRATICE PRATICE PRATICE

Love it. I have not had to use it in a real burial. In practice it is reliable and easy. These beacons are used everywhere. The newer-age ones have more features for multiple burial scenarios and provide a more direct path. This works fine for me. Unless you want to spend more money, I wouldn't get anything else.
The perfect entry-level beacon
Zakk the Bear
Member since
I always travel with my own Avy kit, i know how to use it all, and while I personally own this beacon, the friends I have traveled with from Chile to Niseko to the Sierra BC, when they have rented gear, have been handed this beacon. It is very simple to use with the KISS model search mode. I love the on/off on the back of the device and battery life is very good. The price is very reasonable as well. I luckily have never had to use mine, but if you are going to be headed out into Avy country, this is an economical addition to your gear. Get it, practice with it, and be safe.
Easy to use...
Member since
but mine is off by about 1.5 meters most of the time. If I'm depending on this thing to save my own or another's life, then I want it to be as accurate as possible.
Member since
From what I've seen, most beacons do this.
Doesn't get easier
Alex Laugeman
Member since
Can't say much else that the other reviews...this thing is the simplest which is key for if/when things get hairy. Multiple burials of 3+ people though may get a little tough though. Definitely a good first beacon for someone looking to start getting into the backcountry. I wish the harness was a little bit bigger, but all in all I love it.
easy to use
Travis Tzioumis
Member since
This is a great beacon to get into the backcountry with. It is easy to use and to read. It doesn't have the range of more expensive beacons (this model has a range of about 40 meters compared to others I have seen that can detect a signal at about 75 meters) or the functions but it gets the job done, the display is simple to read and does not complicate your search. For the price you can't beat it. Remember to practice with it(and the rest of your avy gear) in order to feel comfortable before you have to actually use it in an avalanche situation.
Simple Entry Level Beacon

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got the BCA Tracker years ago when I started travelling in avalanche terrain. The interface is simple and the beacon has been reliable over the years. The harness system is good and I personally like the switch on the back because it is nearly impossible to inadvertently turn off.
The beacon works fine for someone who is looking for an entry level beacon. Two antennas rather than three means a more pronounced flux line curve into the buried victim. Very simple to use on single burial scenarios and with the right training and practice, multiple burial scenarios are not very difficult.
The beacon really does not shine on 3+ person burial scenarios, stacked victims or vertical burials partly due to the lack of a third antenna.
This is a great affordable option for an entry level user.
Is this a good beacon for mountaineering...
Member since
Is this a good beacon for mountaineering use?
Ryan Gibbs
Member since
The Tracker DTS is a good entry level beacon for anyone that travels in avalanche terrain. It is easy to use, reliable, and accurate. It was really a breakthrough for beacons, but it only features two antennas. There are many 3 antenna options now that increase the speed and accuracy of searches (particularly multiple burial scenarios). If you rarely find yourself in avalanche terrain it is a perfect entry level beacon. As you become more experienced using it, you may find that you wish you had several functions not available on the DTS like marking burials.
Great, dependable, affordable Beacon

North Henderson Basins
Recent design changes have shown that we can eliminate the need for a separate storage tank in Basin 45 (Washington Park). So, to answer your questions and share updated information with you, we will be holding an informal drop-in meeting on Wednesday, November 13th, from 5 – 7 p.m., at the Audubon Center at Seward Park. This is an opportunity to see the developing design for SPU's preferred alternative of an underground storage tank to be built under the tennis courts, which will be restored following construction, as determined by Seattle Parks & Recreation. Please join us!
The North Henderson area projects will reduce the amount of untreated sewage and polluted stormwater that is overflowing into Lake Washington at combined sewer overflow (CSO) outfalls near Seward Park (Basin 44) and Martha Washington Park (Basin 45).
The North Henderson area CSO-reduction projects incorporate additional storage, conveyance pipeline and system upgrades to control about 10.5 million gallons that currently overflow into Lake Washington during rainstorms. The projects are planned for completion in 2018.
Frequently Asked Questions
Henderson North - Frequently Asked Questions - November 2013 (pdf)
SEPA Update
Since publication of the Basin 44 Revised Final EIS and the Basin 45 Environmental Checklist and Determination of Non-Significance, SPU has continued the design process for both basins and completed a value analysis exercise. Value analysis showed that, with the addition of real-time controls and a slight increase in the size of the underground storage tank in Seward Park, SPU could operate the two basins as a single system and eliminate the need for a separate storage tank in Basin 45 – resulting in significant cost savings. The Addendum addresses these proposed modifications.

Because of topography and other factors, Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) opportunities are limited in North Henderson Basins. Some opportunity may exist for small-scale projects, such as RainWise.
Selecting a Preferred Alternative
After nearly two years of study and discussions with residents, Seattle Public Utilities has decided to address the neighborhood's ongoing stormwater and sewage storage issue by pursuing construction of an underground storage tank across the street from Martha Washington Park, at 5560 S. Holly St.
To reach a decision, the SPU project team weighed community impacts, environmental considerations, technical feasibility and cost. At the onset of the siting process in 2010, storage options included Seward Park and Martha Washington Park, under streets (the right-of-way option), and on private property.
Since May 2010, SPU has held six public meetings, four briefings and two drop-in events at Martha Washington Park, in addition to one-on-one meetings with immediate neighbors of the park.
In response to community feedback, SPU separated the review processes for Basin 44, which drains toward Seward Park, and Basin 45, which drains to a pump station on the south side of Martha Washington Park. By mid-2011, siting alternatives for the project in the Martha Washington Park vicinity were narrowed to storage under 57th Avenue South, private property and the park itself.
As the project team evaluated these three options, a property owner offered to sell the parcel at 5560 S. Holly St. This property ranked the highest when scored against the storage options in Martha Washington Park and under 57th Avenue South.

Project Updates
In response to community feedback, SPU is conducting separate siting and environmental processes for Basin 44, which drains to Seward Park, and Basin 45, which drains to Martha Washington Park. Public comments received at meetings in late 2010 and early 2011 supported managing CSOs for Basins 44 and 45 separately, rather than combined solutions (e.g. a large storage tunnel to convey and store).
Seward Park Area (Basin 44) Project Alternatives
SPU proposes to build an underground storage facility in Seward Park to temporarily hold combined sewage and stormwater runoff. SPU is currently developing a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to document how the project could impact people and the environment. SPU anticipates releasing the Draft EIS in late 2011. SPU is currently studying two project locations in Seward Park.

Project Alternatives
After nearly two years of study and discussions with residents, Seattle Public Utilities has decided to address the neighborhood's ongoing stormwater and sewage storage issue by pursuing construction of an underground storage tank across the street from Martha Washington Park, at 5560 S. Holly St. In mid-January 2012, SPU will hold an informal open house near the intersection of 57th and South Holly Street to provide the most up-to-date project and schedule information. Please sign up for a listserv message with the exact date, time and location.
SPU will prepare an Environmental Checklist under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to document how the project could impact people and the environment. SPU anticipates issuing a determination of findings (threshold determination) in late 2012.
There will be two opportunities to provide public input about the recommended alternative. As part of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), SPU is moving ahead with the environmental review process for Basin 45. The SEPA environmental review documents will be available in early March/April 2012 for the public's review and comment.
In May, the Seattle City Council will hold a public hearing prior to finalizing purchase of the property. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2015. Additional opportunities for input on site restoration and construction impacts will take place during the design phase. We hope to see you in January to talk further about the project.
View the Alternatives Summary (pdf) to learn more.

1. "What are my plans for this house?" Do you plan on being in that house for three years, five years, or 10 years? In doing so, you'll end up finding a property that meets your needs today and will meet your needs down the road. That really benefits you on the back end when you're ready to sell.
2. "What can I afford?" You may qualify for a higher amount that you actually want to pay. It's important to not only check with a mortgage agent to get pre-approved, but to know what the payments will be at that amount. Remember to factor in homeowner's insurance, property taxes, utility bills, moving costs, maintenance and any upgrades that you'll need to make.
3. "What do I want?" Make a list of what you want and don't want. Search for homes online to get some ideas. Are you looking for a small home or a home where your family can grow? Comparative shopping is key. In order to get the price you want, you have to arm yourself with information. Check out similar homes.
4. "How long has this house been on the market?" The length of time a house has been listed will affect the pricing. The longer the house has been on the market, the more chance the seller will make a larger cut in the price to move the home.
5. "What is your sales history and experience level?" A good agent should be able to provide information on comparable sales of homes in the neighborhood, schools and other local services.

Before it became the set of one of the most polarizing television series finales of all time, Holsten's was a classic diner and ice cream parlor. Now, it still serves its homemade ice cream and house specials—two burgers, made with beef chopped that day—but camera flashes aren't uncommon, especially near one particular booth. People who sit there tend to order onion rings, because that's what Tony Soprano ordered just before the show ended.
The staff doesn't mind the extra attention that The Sopranos fanbase showers on their restaurant. In fact, they sell T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase, "The Final Episode." But they also stay true to their roots, whipping up diner fare from BLTs to grilled cheese and double-decker club sandwiches. The dessert menu features ice cream in flavors such as vanilla, black raspberry, and butter pecan, all of which can be piled atop brownies or bananas to make a sundae. There's also homemade candy, including truffles, assorted chocolates, and seasonal sweets more appetizing than autumn leaves dipped in honey.
Deluxe on Broadway's cooks craft homespun diner fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, skillfully blending milk shakes and whisking together house-made quiche. Outdoor seating allows diners to sip coffee without taking a break from sunbathing or snowball fighting, and other guests can take refuge behind booths or on stools before the counter. Between bites, diners can take advantage of the WiFi service or peruse the framed pictures and frame-worthy thumbtacks that adorn the Tuscan yellow walls.
Flavor wizards sling a menu of fresh fare at The Manchester Diner, which was named after the 1910 Manchester building that housed famous figures such as Hank Jones and Flannery O'Connor. Grillmasters prepare each burger to order, perching the patty atop a toasted bun and pairing it with an edible coterie of coleslaw and a pickle. Beneath a mosaic of tiles and pendant lamps, diners can customize beefy bites with a slew of toppings, such as sautéed mushrooms, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, and french fries. Like certified-organic princesses, salads come crowned with premium ingredients, such as the fresh Norwegian salmon, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, and feta that festoon the Royal salad. Lettuce whisperers toss the mesclun field salad with fresh melon and grilled chicken before servers whisk it to tables with citrus vinaigrette harvested from the tears of freshly zested lemons.
Artie's Delicatessen derives its name from famed restaurateur Artie Cutler, whose family realized his dream of opening a 1930s Jewish-style delicatessen packed with traditional favorites such as tongue, potato pancakes, and cheese blintzes. Two diners peruse the menu for traditional favorite dinner entrees, such as:
Like the songs of Frank Sinatra—a former regular at the eatery—the Market Diner's history is full of highs and lows. The hanging lights above the faux-snakeskin booths went dark when the eatery closed down in 2006, but it was too soon for the restaurant's rich 50-year history to come to an end. The diner is open again today, allowing patrons to feast on the omelets, half-pound burgers, and pies that have fed celebrities including Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and even notorious gangsters from the '70s. An episode of Seinfeld also featured the restaurant in an important scene, which means patrons can revisit a favorite show without putting flowers on Alf's grave.

There is a reason this is never in stock. This stuff is gold. I get razor burn fairly easy and this stuff does an awesome jobs of keeping it away giving my neck a needed break.
My husband is very loyal to his shaving cream. Once he finds one he likes, he uses nothing else. His last favorite was discontinued, so we were searching for a replacement. This one wins. He is in the military and must shave everyday. He has trouble with other gels and creams drying out his face, but this one seems to be very moisturizing- no problems with dry cheeks after a shave.
this stuff is awesome. makes beard feel great and helps to reduce itch. i will be buying more for sure
I use this product almost every day. Works perfect for shaving my head and face. It provides the perfect amount of lubrication for shaving with a DE or straight razor.
Let me start with I prefer a lathering shaving cream, as I tend to miss spots when using a non-lathering cream. So, that will prevent this from getting five stars.
However, it is the first non-lathering cream I have ever used (I have tried about 4-6 over the years) that worked as well as my lathering creams at preventing ingrowns and beard burn. The razor glide was excellent, the scent is pleasant and it was a positive shaving experience.
If you prefer a non-lathering product, I highly recommend this product.
My husband and I both use Jack Black's Beard Lube (a terrible name, btw). It's the best. When I shave my legs, it leaves them soft and conditioned, and the shave lasts longer than if I just use soap or a shave gel. I love that we both use it--saves us space in the bathroom and saves money.
I loved all of the reviews so I decided to give this a try - I bought one for the dude and one for me... this worked AMAZINGLY WELL on my legs. Plus the scent is very pleasant and refreshing - especially in the wee hours of the morning. I got a close shave. my legs weren't dry afterwards like they are with some products, and the gel didn't clog up the razor. the husband tried it - and he hates everything. He didn't like that it didn't lather up as much as the "usual" shave gel he uses, but he liked the way it felt, he loved the scent and he said he got a great shave from it. I am glad I ordered 2 so I can have one all to myself.
Love the fact that it goes on clear, can see the spots i want to shave and the ones i dont since i have a beard. Smells great just like all the other jack black products.
This is my go-to shave product for an every day shave. No need to work it into a lather or anything like that. It applies quickly and really provides an excellent, close shave. Plus, one bottle lasts forever!
Lube is definitely an accurate description for the texture. It makes your face almost slippery, which reduces drag and prevents razor burn, even on tough spots like the neck. I also think it makes razors last longer because it cuts down on resistance for the blade.
I've been a long time user of the foaming "creme" since my Dad taught me to shave. I've seen a few variants of "high quality" shaving creams over the past few years and it wasn't until I tried a few other Jack Black products that I deiced to look into this product and see what all the fuss was about.
This is my new favorite product. I don't shave daily, my facial hair grows slow enough I only have to shave every two to three days. This product does offer a little bit of a tingle sensation when you put it on your face. I really enjoy it, and my face feels great after a quick shave. I also found I don't have to rinse my razor as often when using this product. Beard Lube also doesn't clog up your razor so it's super fast to rinse off.
I also learned that Jack Black is also animal cruelty free which is an added bonus. I'm pretty happy with this and can't imagine shaving getting any better than this.

Laptop Wi-Fi could slow down a man's swimmers, study finds
A new report from Argentinian scientists states that electromagnetic radiation in a laptop's Wi-Fi connection could take the swagger out of sperm.
The thought-provoking article, published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, is the culmination of a study conducted by Conrado Avendano, a biochemist working for the Nascentis Center of Reproductive Medicine in Cordoba, Argentina, in conjunction with a group of medical professionals.
The study found that semen from 29 donors placed for four hours in room-temperature petri dishes 3 centimeters from a laptop actively connected to Wi-Fi showed "a significant decrease in progressive sperm motility and an … Read more

Best place for foodies to live?
Posted 30 November 2005 - 09:21 PM
- good produce/meat/specialty food shops close at hand
- tasty restaurants within walking distance
- good pub(s) within walking distance
- anything else cool or interesting (bookstores with large cookery section, markets...)
What suburbs do you think are tops for food and drink?
Posted 30 November 2005 - 09:56 PM
You'd probably earn more money in Sydney, but the cost of living up there is also much higher. Melbourne does have a slower pace, and I think in terms of quality of living, Melbourne craps all over our northern cousins.
Posted 30 November 2005 - 10:08 PM
One thing in just a few days of spending time in these forums (thanks everyone for the warm welcome and help so far) is that there seem to be more Melburnians than Sydneysiders here, FWIW.
If you do come up to Sydney, drop me a line for a guided food tour.
There's probably places in Melbourne and Sydney that will have everything you want. From a Melbourne perspective, we've got plenty of suburbs that would have what you want - Fitzroy, Carlton, Brunswick, Clifton Hill, Albert Park, South Melbourne, North Melbourne, Richmond, St.Kilda.....just stay within 10 to 15km of the city centre and you should be fine.

Balmain - Lots of restaurants, Good pubs and great produce stores.
Newtown - Lots of restaurants, Good pubs and an interesting crowd.
Surry Hills - Lots of restaurants, Good pubs and very close to the city
Paddington - Upmarket suburb with lots of gourmet shops [Simon Johnson, Jones the Grocer and other good quality delis and fruitier]
Crows Nest - North Shore - Lots of restaurants, Essential Ingredients store which has a great range of food, cookware, and cookbooks to fill a library.
Inner City Sydney - Liverpool St for Spanish, Goulbourn St and China Town for Chinese and Asian. Paddy's Market has a large produce market every week fish, meat and a huge range of fresh fruit and veg. Nearly all the 1,2 and 3 hat restaurant are located in the inner city. David Jones city store has a great food hall and casual dining area and the list goes on.
My main consideration would be where am I going to be working and how far am I prepared to commute. I have just returned to Australia after working overseas for the last 6 years and I have chosen to live close to Crows Nest. Main reason being it has lots to offer any night of the week and is only 10 min on the train to the city where I work. Good luck in your decision.

FiFi La More I will agree that the north shore may seem like a desert as opposed to a dessert if you dont know where to look. There are lots of offerings to be had. Last week I dined at Tables in Pymble for the 4-5 time. The quality of the dishes are truley 5 star without the price. Check before going if Dan is on. We spent $220 for two which included wine, appertiffs, entree, mains and desserst. Corkage was $8 for the bottle. Sydneys northern beaches also offer great fair. Try the cafe at Avalon "Chealsea Tea House for a beautiful breakfast or lunch. Baristas very good. Try it out
Yes there are some good places on the North Shore but they are still far and few between. Tables is excellent. I used to love the Chelsea Tea House especially when they had the brisket roll. But last time I went there it was terrible. I had been raving about it to one of my foodie friends from Melbourne so we took the drive up there. The service was so incredibly rude that I believed the place had changed hands. At least I had to say this to explain to the person I was with why it was so bad. We could not even get someone to give us a menu or take our order. Needless to say it was so traumatic that we went somewhere else for coffee. Do you know any good coffee places? I was going to Atomic in Neutral Bay but have moved out further now. I have discovered Ciao Down in Lindfield but was wondering if there is anything else out this way.
Posted 01 December 2005 - 05:09 PM
For consistently good coffee and food we go to Houlahans in Spring St Chatswood. Sams the barista there and he has won many awards for his coffee. The service and food are always good. What about delish in Lindfeild the quiche is devine.

Sorry to hear about you bad experience at the Chelsea tea house. We have been going for a drive up there about once a month and have only ever been looked after and feed with the most delicious food and coffee. A few weeks ago we thought wed give somewhere else a try and went to the foodie café/deli across the road. All I can say is never ever again the service was atrocious. Why do these cafés start business and then employ 15 year olds to serve people. I suppose thats another thread.

Thanks for the Chatswood tip. I have been struggling to find a place for coffee at Chatswood for some time. I am already a regular at Delish. They have so many lovely treats.

I live on the North Shore is Sydney which I consider to be a culinary wasteland. I think the Eastern Suburbs are probably the best place to be for food. There are lots of great places particularly around Surry Hills and Darlinghurst. You would also be fairly close to Waterloo etc. which is becoming a bit of a foodie haven thanks to places like Fratelli Fresh and Simon Johnson's new food emporium.
Huh, funny. I live in the Eastern Suburbs and I routinely hear how Crows Nest and Manly seem to have the best food shops.
Over on the east side, Anzac Parade near UNSW has a huge number of cheap asian eats which is about as authentic as you can get since there are some many asian students in the area. Bondi is excellent for high quality produce, usually with prices to match. Theres a kitchen store in Bondi called Pulp kitchens which stock Shun knives which I've not seen anywhere else. Wollahra has a number of nice high end shops including a cheese shop thats pretty decent and Simon Johnson which is absurdly overpriced but stocks goumet items unavailable anywhere else. Theres meant to be an excellent butcher on Clovelly Road in Randwick who I've been meaning to check out for ages. In Randwick near the Hospital, there are some excellent asian butchers and the green grocer is not too bad either. The Fox studio farmers market on Wednesday and Sundays at Fox Studios has a couple of decent stalls including cheese, bread, Wagyu beef, honey, chocolate, lemons & oranges.
Thats about the extent of my knowledge of the eastern suburbs, would appreciate some other hidden gems close by.
edit: Claudes in Wollahra is meant to be pretty good french/asian food although I've never dined there but I've been to Balzac in Randwick which did an excellent dinner but only a so-so lunch. As far as dining in "The Spot" near the Randwick Ritz, Arthurs Pizza is a classic after-movie place but the greek place next door was awful. The Thai place across the roundabout is pretty good but the main appeal seems to be the open kitchens and the periodic 3m high flames. Sydney Gourmet Burgers seem to be producing a decent product but I never see people inside so I don't know how long it will last.
There remains, to my great dismay, no decent coffee or ice-cream places anywhere near Randwick.
PS: Would appreciate some decent dining options in Newtown. Despite it's reputation, I've had a hard time finding anything decent. Tried Newtown Thai which was pretty ordinary and also Peasants Feast which was overpriced and poorly executed. All I see is Thai and Italian places.

I live in Sydney's eastern suburbs, and have for four years after spending my previous life in New York and Washington, DC...and I think Sydney's a pretty mixed bag, food-wise, but every year I see things getting better. Where I live (Bondi Junction) there's a number of great produce and specialty stores, including a Norton St. Grocer and a DJ Food Hall, within the suburb or just a short way away - and once you start to find some of the little deli's and such you find that you can be cagey and know where you can get great meat for the grill for less, imported cheeses for $10-$20 less a kilo than the big guys, etc...but it takes time, and since I work from home I can explore. We're not great in the area in terms of pubs and restaurants, but I haven't really spent much time in Melbourne so I can't compare.
One thing in just a few days of spending time in these forums (thanks everyone for the warm welcome and help so far) is that there seem to be more Melburnians than Sydneysiders here, FWIW.

Just compare on a few limited fronts:
Fresh Food Markets - Sydney Flemington or Haymarket Fresh Markets vs Queen Vic (not to mention Preston, Prahran, Sth Melbourne, Footscray, Springvale and others) Winner Queen Vic hands down
Fresh Fish -Sydney Fish Market vs Queen Vic - winner Sydney but only on points
Wine - Melbourne has 5 distinct wine regions within 1 hrs drive and another 8 within 2 - Sydney has 1 a fair drive north
Price - Quite simply Melbourne's cost of living is heaps cheaper
Accesible fine & good casual dining - again Melbourne is cheaper and more accesible
Sydney wins on Extreme fine dining - but as Marie Antoinette found out you can't live on cake everyday...
Both cities have DJ's, SJs & Essential Ingredient; there are equivalents for Accountrement etc
One big issue is accesibility - living in inner Melbourne is much more fun than living in inner Sydney if you want to go to all the best food places because you can get around in a morning and do all your shopping. Melbourne particularly north of the Yarra (say Nth Melb to Richmond) is redolent with food places
Overall our experience in Sydney was - when you were entertained you ate out at a flash place. In Melbourne you either were taken somewhere where the food was good or you were invited home for a home cooked meal
So if you had to choose - I'd say Melbourne. Still the other advice generally is sound - stay close to the city preferably in suburbs that have recently gentrified so that there is some residue of a migrant culture attached and the food is generally better.

Work is going to be in the lower north shore area in Sydney, so I'm thinking of somewhere around there because it'd be cool to be close to the office for once. I did make it to Essential Ingredient in Crows Nest, which is about 10 times larger than the Canberra one, and bought a copy of "Culinary Artistry". Sad to say, the only thing I've eaten in the area so far is a Gloria Jean's Coffee Bean frappucino thing.
We're still trying to sort out a flat and so on (if anyone has any tips on renting flats/townhouses/whatever that allow one sedate, nondestructive cat, PM me). I'm also trying to figure out how best to move our tahitian lime and meyer lemon trees (they're in containers, but I'd like to give this year's fruit a chance if at all possible).

The North Shore of Sydney is freakishly expensive as I'm sure you know. Probably best to go up further north on the train line, somewhere around pymble or so. But then the culinary scene isn't as good. In fact, almost anywhere in sydney is going to be freakishly expensive compared to Canberra.

chatswood is probably the next place i would consider. again, there are new blocks close to the station, but the blocks are much bigger than the ones in waitara (which tend to b no more than 8 levels cos going over eight levels is a whole new ball game wrt fire regulations etc), so the car parks are bigger etc. 2 br etc, i think goes for abt 550$. to me $200 is significant, but it depends on what u r looking for. chatswood is definitely closer to everything. if chatswood is your thing, let me know, i know someone with a place with 2br.
if u r looking at the city which is almost my idea of heaven, an apartment in circular quay, 1 br,pool, gym, concierge, luxury fittings....ummm....have i forgotten anything? yes ...view of harbour n bridge...will set u back abt $1000, if not more. (no, i'm not an agent - i just listen to what everyone has to say)
hope this helps

If you want really good, but overpriced IMO steak, Vlados on Bridge Road is the place to go. But for a large hunk of excellent meat, I'd rather get my own at Queen Victoria market at a fraction of the price. Try it once just to say you've done it. If you bring a family of 4 or 5, just for the steak set meal (You have no choice...only set meal), you can buy a Jackeroo grill, several kgs of filet mignon and a slab of beer.
I've been to Fenix (There's a thread going on about it now), and whilst it was pretty good, I'd rather book a table at Tetsuya's in Sydney. But in all honesty, I was there for a business function, not on pleasure, so the pleasure may have been taken out of it.
Having the lamb shanks on the bistros on St Kilda is another overpriced affair. At AUD$30 onwards for one of the cheapest cuts of meat, I expect some quality sauce that was reduced from some bones, not a masterfoods or gravlox instant stock rubbish.
The shining lights for me in Melbourne are the small Italian pizza joint on Little bourke and exhibition st, and of course, Pacific House in Richmond and South yarra.
The roast duck at Pacific house IS TO DIE FOR. I rate Pacific House higher than the restaurants in Singapore and the few apparently good ones that my suppliers in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shanghai brought me to.
And if you are after Thai food, there are 2 good ones.
Thai Taste on Hoddle and something (Its between bridge road and victoria road) has awesome papaya salad, beef salad and the roast pork legs are simply heaven.
Krua Thai II on Bridge Road for lunch on friday, sat and sun. You'll see only Thai people here mostly during these times coz of the special menu. We usually have the specials on the board + the beef soup noodles (Nam Tok Luer is the Thai Name and is either number 1 or 2 on the menu). I've had the original noodles cooked by my friend's maids from the North of Thailand. It takes 24 hours for the stock and awhole load of herbs and spices some of which I've never seen before. And its thickened with a bit of pig blood (You can't taste the blood, so don't worry! I don;t really like pig blood too). In Northern Thailand and especially in Laos, they add a pinch of marijuana in the soup!
For good coffee, Mama's cafe (Just next to Commonwealth bank and near RMIT) on bourke st between Swanston and Russel serves great coffee from Coffex. The blend is perfect every time! I've ordered 1 cup to a dozen on a tray, and the taste is always the same. Perfect.

Sounds good, where are you staying?
We're in St. Leonards, and I've been extremely busy the last few weeks. Whew!
Culinary highlights have included La Grillade on Alexander St. in Crows Nest, if you want to kick it primal with some tasty meat. We did feel a little underdressed for the apres-work crowd. I'm also making plans to return to Nilgiri's (just near St Leonards station) which do amazing Indian. Leave your expectations of cheap-and-cheerful, serviceable curries behind: this is innovative, high-concept stuff, a world away from your standard butter chicken. I also enjoyed the fresh-as-anything nigiri sushi at Sapporo in Crows Nest. The rolls are ho-hum, and it's a bit dear, but hey, sumo tournaments on the big screen really add to the ambience for me.
I also cooked some fabulous curry, hokkien noodles and other stuff in my awesome new kitchen. It's been really great and I'm looking forward to checking out more of the cool markets and stuff. So far I've mostly been hitting Woolies and Macro.

Crow's Nest... mmm, lots of Izakaya's... Japanese eating/drinking places. Summer, cold sake, mmmmmm....
Wow, I must have gone there at the wrong time :( Moved to St Leonard's last year Feb/March and didn't see many Japanese places at all around there or Crow's Nest. Regretted it big time - foodwise, I found LNS (lower north shore) definitely is NOT a foodie area or an area for good living despite being a good, comfortable middle-class area. One thing great was the pub food at that pub where the train station is, though. Great steaks, perfectly cooked to order - with chips, gravy and veggies for only $10. Eat your heart out, WA lol. Pub food in WA............. ugh, what can I say - 5-star prices for mediocre grub- get real, guys.

Now that is a huge surprise. I often think we have a little Tokyo around here in Neutral Bay/Crow's Nest.Wow, I must have gone there at the wrong time :( Moved to St Leonard's last year Feb/March and didn't see many Japanese places at all around there or Crow's Nest.
In Crow's Nest off the top of my head, there is Ju-Rin, Sakana-Ya, and Waqu, all of which appear in the Sydney Morning Herald good food guide. In Neutral Bay there must be seven or more Japanese restaurants/food shops within a 1km radius, including Jugemu & Shimbashi which is basically two Japanese style restaurants in one.

AFTERMATH: Houses that were partly swallowed by the tsunami burn in Sendai, Japan.

The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan last March created an estimated 25 million tons of debris, large amounts of which washed into the ocean. Soon after the disaster, satellites photographed and tracked large mats of wreckage—building parts, boats and household objects—floating off the Japanese coast. Now, according to computer models developed by Nikolai Maximenko and his colleagues at the University of Hawaii and at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the detritus is on course to reach the northwestern Hawaiian Islands early this year.
Given what is known about the hazards of floating refuse, scientists are taking the potential threat seriously. Already as much as 40 percent of the world's ocean surfaces harbor garbage that ranges in size from shipping containers to derelict fishing gear to small bits of plastic that can entangle or poison marine mammals. Researchers want to find out not only if the influx will threaten Hawaii but how it might interact with what is now out there.
Water and wind currents have broken up the tsunami wreckage so that it is no longer visible using NOAA's satellites, so the agency has been working to gain access to higher-resolution satellites to locate it. Later this year scientists affiliated with 5Gyres, a nonprofit that specializes in tracking and analyzing marine debris, will set sail across the North Pacific to investigate what is left of Japan's devastation.
Some scientists have already encountered tsunami rubble at sea. In September a Russian ship found a Japanese fishing vessel, a refrigerator, a television set and other household appliances bobbing west of Midway Atoll. In December large Japanese fishing floats washed up in Neah Bay in Washington State and near Vancouver, B.C.
If these types of objects collide with the fragile coral reefs surrounding Hawaii's northwestern islands, the results could be catastrophic. Risks include physical damage to the reefs as well as the fouling of beaches that provide important habitats for albatross, Hawaiian monk seals, green sea turtles, and other threatened and endemic species. Hazardous materials are also a concern, although recent studies show the offshore impacts from debris contaminated with radiation have been minimal.
Nancy Wallace, director of NOAA's Marine Debris Program, says the agency is preparing for "best- and worst-case scenarios." NOAA and other organizations have plans to cope with the debris, including any that may be contaminated. Whether or not tsunami wreckage makes landfall in significant volumes, however, it is somewhere at sea, adding to a serious and growing problem.

Learning Perl/Tk
Author: Nancy Walsh
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
URL: http://www.ora.com/
Price: $32.95 US
Reviewed by: Bill W. Cunningham
Learning Perl/Tk, by Nancy Walsh, is the first of what will undoubtedly be many books on this subject, and it will be a tough act to follow. This book is targeted for those just beginning windows programming in Perl/Tk on both UNIX and Windows platforms, although veteran programmers will find a wealth of detailed information in it as well.
Learning Perl/Tk is well-written and thoroughly researched. It begins with a brief history of the Perl and Tk languages. It tells exactly where to download the Perl/Tk module, how to unpack and install it, and how to test your installation to see if you are ready to write Perl/Tk programs.
Next is a general discourse on window geometry, and the concepts of the widget and the event loop. These are details the windows programmer must deal with that do not apply to the traditional Perl programmer. Ms. Walsh does a fine job of explaining these concepts in terms anyone can understand.
The majority of the book is devoted to a detailed description of the most commonly used window widgets: the button, check box, radio button, label, entry, scrollbar, list box, text box, canvas, scale, menu, frame and composite widgets such as the dialog box. Virtually every aspect pertaining to these widgets is covered in the minutest detail: color, placement, size, border size, style and functionality. Other widgets are available in Perl/Tk, but these are the most common ones, and in order not to get too far out in left field, the book limits its focus to these.
The author's code examples are written in an elegant, concise, easy-to-follow style. For example, the following code creates five text entry widgets, each in a different relief style, with the style's name displayed in the respective boxes:
foreach (qw/flat groove raised ridge sunken/) { $e = $mw->Entry(-relief=> $_)->pack(-expand=> 1); $e->insert('end', $_); }
This example appears on page 112 of the book. Throughout, the author demonstrates an enviable command of the Perl language, particularly the object-oriented features.
The book does a great job of bringing the first-time Perl/Tk user up to speed. By the end of the second chapter, the reader will have at least five fully-functional windows programs up and running. And for the veteran programmer, the book goes into a level of detail about the various window widgets which should meet the most demanding needs.
There is something of a void of information for the intermediate-level programmer. For example, there is no discussion of how to create a text-entry widget, get some user input from the widget, and use Perl to do something useful with the input. The Perl/Tk module does come with many demo examples that basically fill this gap. I did notice a few minor typos in the book, but it was obvious even to me (a non-programmer) how to fix them. Almost all the code runs perfectly. I know, because I typed in and ran each example! Virtuous (i.e., lazy) programmers can download all the book's code from the O'Reilly web site (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperltk/).
Learning Perl/Tk provides a simple yet thorough introduction to this newest method of writing windows programs, and will also be a valuable reference for the production programmer. There is room for more books on this subject at the intermediate level.
I believe anyone with an interest in Perl/Tk will benefit from reading this book, and I recommend it with enthusiasm.

Yazoo City native Jontaveous "JT" Sulton impresses at Atlanta Elite Pro Showcase.By Joffre WashingtonFor the HeraldThe 2013 NBA Draft was held last week in Brooklyn, New York and basketball players all over the world hoped that theirs would be one of the names called by NBA commissioner David Stern.Yazoo City native Jontaveous "JT" Sulton was one of those players. And while Sulton, didn't hear his name called among the 60 players selected by NBA teams, his professional journey is far from over.After a stellar career at Middle Tennessee State University, Sulton has attracted attention from several overseas professional teams. Sulton spent this past weekend continuing to improve his stock with a breakout performance at the Atlanta Elite Pro Showcase in Atlanta, Georgia.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Yazoo County's Talyn Shaffer earned a spot on this year's Coast to Coast baseball team.By TAYLOR HAWKINSSports EditorOn March 26, the Coast to Coast Baseball team held one of their regional try-outs in Jackson.One of the participants in the try-out was 14-year-old Yazoo County High student Talyn Shaffer.The try-out was broken up into a skills section and a batting section. Players could sign up for one or both, depending on their ability.While Shaffer was anxious going into the try-out, it was not exactly what he expected."I was kind of nervous at first, but then I saw that there were a few kinds there, but not really a lot," Shaffer said. "It was the upper half of 6A and private schools."-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Jamarion Sallis prepares for a grueling bus ride to Callaway High School for a summer league game along with Yazoo Central teammate Torey Haymer.By TAYLOR HAWKINSSports EditorYazoo City head baseball coach Gerald Peyton has taken up the responsibility of putting together a makeshift team named Yazoo Central for his summer league program.The team consists of students from Yazoo County High, Benton Academy and, of course, Peyton's own Yazoo City High. A couple of players from Jackson also join the team from time to time.According to Peyton, the best way to improve in baseball is to get more reps."You've got to play, especially the pitchers," Peyton said. "The best way to get better is to play. Plus, we lost six starters and have to figure out who is going to play where."-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Taylor Hawkins Sports EditorOn Tuesday night, the College World Series came to a close, and although Mississippi State was not the victor, they made an entire state proud. The Bulldogs reached the championship series after a brutal slate that consisted of Virginia, Oregon State and Indiana. They faced up against a UCLA team with an incredible amount of quality arms that seemed destined for victory.Though the Bulldogs fought, they were unable to achieve their first national title. It was a wonderful story an underdog searching for glory. MSU has nothing to be ashamed of. They left absolutely everything on the field.The MSU fans were also impressive as they absolutely packed Ameritrade Park in Omaha, embarrassing the turnout from the Bruins fans.During the first game on Monday, College World Series announcer Mike Patrick made a statement supporting the passion and loyalty of State fans, but it was taken the wrong way."The coaches told us this morning a lot of people came here from Mississippi that can't afford the trip," said Patrick. "But they came here to support their kids. They are so proud of them and everybody is waiting for this team to explode."What struck me as incredible was how many people of Mississippi went into a frenzy. The social media sites were filled with people damning Patrick for a statement that was made to him by MSU head coach John Cohen.Mississippians are extremely proud of where we are from. The land and atmosphere can be great. The hospitality here is almost ancient in contrast with other states, and that says a lot about our country as a whole. The state is full of hard-working citizens that still do things the old-fashioned way.And that's not a bad thing. Mississippi is not, however, without flaws.I love my state, but I won't blindly accept its faults. Some of the statistics are just embarrassing, and we could do more to fix them. Mississippi ranks next to last in obesity at 32.2 percent, following only West Virginia. In September 2012, the Huffington Post ran its yearly story on poverty that showed Mississippi as the poorest state in the country with 22.6 percent of the population under the poverty line. In May, we had a 9.1 percent unemployment rate, the second highest in the nation.I'm not throwing these numbers out to make people mad, but if we can't see the problem, there is no chance for a solution.Many seem have lost the desire to succeed. Too many of us have accepted the decline in our state, yet we keep trying to tell everyone how great it is here. Those statistics may leave some wondering if things are as great as we make them out to be.But that doesn't mean we can't get back to where we once were. That doesn't me we can't change. We just have to actually do it.The first step in fixing our state is to bring the people together.For a very short time at the end of State's CWS run, almost everyone seemed to come together. Even many Ole Miss fans, though not all, cheered for an MSU win, a win for their state.I can honestly say that I was not supportive of a MSU National Championship, but as I thought long and hard about it, I finally realized why. After the game, however, I felt bad for them. I hated seeing my friends so distraught. I put myself in their position and realized how bad they must be hurting. I know I would be if I was in their position. If you add rival fans gloating at the loss, it is a blueprint for disaster. I had no animosity towards the kids who were playing. They worked hard and deserved it. I had an issue with the fans. There is so much bad blood between the Ole Miss and MSU fan bases that it is sickening.But I remembered why I couldn't pull for them to begin with.Throughout the post-season, MSU fans kept using the well worn phrase O.M.A.H.A., which stands for Ole Miss at home again. Their football coach only refers to Ole Miss as TSUN, or the school up north. Ole Miss fans countered by calling MSU TSBU, or the school beneath us. They also constantly mock State's use of the cowbell.This is not a chastisement of Ole Miss fans. Like I said, I wasn't pulling for the Dawgs. After 50 weeks of State putting Ole Miss down, I wasn't about to cheer for them, but this works both ways. Ole Miss fans can be just as cruel and bitter. I wouldn't have expected them to pull for the Rebels in the same situation. Maybe that is where the problem lies. We have no faith in each other.I'm all for a heated rivalry, but this State vs. Ole Miss debacle often gets out of hand. It shouldn't continue at this level. It will either grow and separate us all, or we can clean it up now.I suppose I am just as guilty as anybody. Maybe I was just bitter, but the first step is realizing it. Only then can we strive for change.It may sound asinine to compare sporting events to social issues, but it has to start somewhere. We have to stop killing our own, so to speak, and come together. If we can't fix ourselves, there is no way we can fix our state.We are at the absolute bottom of the food chain in this country, yet we demand respect from everyone. We're going to have to earn that respect.
