TED Licensing Director,
This conversation is closed.
As a TEDx organizers I wish there were this feature on ted.com/tedx. Please propose a suggestion or an idea around future functionality.
We are working on a road map for future functionally on ted.com/tedx. We would like input from the community of TEDx organizers. What would you like to be able to do on ted.com/tedx?
Jun 12 2012: Ooh finally Thanks Lara ,
It would be fantastic if we could create a Customized URL For Example : ted.com/tedx/tedxAnnaba

Jun 13 2012: TEDx rules version control and notification feature.
- +4
It would be helpful if we could know TEDx rules has been changed. I think RSS would be good to notify TEDx rules has been changed.
If we know version of TEDx rules, I think that we can say like this "our TEDx event based on TEDx rules 1.0.5"
And if we start to translate TEDx rules into other language by volunteers, it would be easier to find sentence which is needed to translate and to understand current translated TEDx rules are based on which version.Jun 13 2012: 1. Connect a TedTalk with an action button (i.e. donate, volunteer, organize...)
2. Move toward becoming an online free accredited university for the public good.Jun 12 2012: --An "alert" so that I can be notified of upcoming TEDx events in my community
--A searchable database of organizers around the world, that I could sort by city (ie, all organizers in SF), or regions, or types of events, or number of attendees, or years in existence. This would help me identify mentors and people who have solved similar challenges
--A way to invite TEDsters to my event. Not all TED profiles include their city. Right now I can do a manual search and infer their city based on other keywords (I might find "Colorado" but not "Denver"), then send them a message through my profilte. Very cumbersome. If profiles included cities, and/or profilees could select "would you like to be notified about upcoming TEDx events in your area?" then it would be easier to reach out to the TED community. I always feel like there are abundant TEDsters in my town who have no idea our event is happening.
Arthur Zards
Jun 12 2012: I would love a simple form that I could fill out that would send me reminders/notifications on TEDx events in my geographic area. For example: I would be notified via email if a new TEDx event is licensed within 50 miles of my zipcode. This would make it very easy to learn about new TEDx events in my area, and a great reminder of current ones.

As an organizer, I love to go to other TEDx events, but as we organizers know, we can get so distracted with our own events sometimes we forget that there are other events going on in our own backyards.Jun 14 2012: If each TEDx organizer had access to an infrastructure similar to TED.com/conversations, we could:
- Offer attendees and community at large to signup for a TED/TEDx account
- Curate conversations to engage community around topics raised at our events
- Match conversation with nearby TEDx communities and/or global TED
- Offer a two-ways communication platform for sponsors to engage with the community (around the TEDx topics, not general PR)
- Build a standardized base of opinions, topics of interest, and people at various levels of engagement
We could draw more inspiration from what other TEDx events have done in terms of editorial content, and it would provide a readily connected infrastructure instead of relying on each organizer to set it up.
Jun 14 2012: I am not a TED organizer, but read this post because of my interest in the format. Coming from the 'consumer' side, I had recently posted a very parallel 'Idea' in TED conversations before I read this response. I absolutely believe this process would be enhanced - for both the presenter and the audience - if there were a post-presentation 'conversation' venue to participate in. The presenter gets the benefit of understanding what ideas/info were actually transmitted, would get immediate feedback as to the relevancy to the audiences needs, gets to clarify misconceptions, and may get additional contributions to the subject. The interested 'consumer' can get clarification, would be more involved, and can exchange ideas with a TED 'expert'. Also, if these 'conversations' were included in the already developed 'TED conversations' format, it would bring a higher level of participation to the current 'conversations' and bring greater diversity to those conversations which would, in time, increase the 'value' of the TED conversation format world-wide. Thanks to all of the TED organizers for their efforts.Jun 12 2012: stats about the dfevelopment of the program in a region or city: number of licenses, when the first event has been done, evolution of licenses since then, total audience, number of cities with a licence, by type of events, ect, a full protrait of the program in a region or city. and maybe even an infography of it.

Jun 12 2012: I would love to see the tedx site more from a audience perspective.

like ted.com where you are invited to watch the talks and can then dive deeper into the conference registration or talk search. all organizer resources seem to me well structured.
Teri Orr
Jun 12 2012: It would be great if there was a way to talk about/share sponsors. I find the real inhibitor to doing the very best TEDx event
- +2
is, sadly, funding. The quality of the filming, the meals, the little gift bags, the name badges and notebooks. Everyone can help some but this economy, in small communities, makes it awkward to ask some folks -- often the very folks you want/need involved--- to completely donate their services. And if TEDx is but one thing you are involved in, in the non-profit world and fundraising for, it gives one a split personality trying to make Sophie's Choice-style decisions on which of the children you feel forced to give up when you dearly love them both.
Money, is the the dirty little secret we tip-toe around as individual organizers and we need to discuss this, together.In a safe environment.
Kelo Kubu
Jul 11 2012: The new TEDx events page already works much better. I would like to see way that TEDx attendees can automatically to create a profile on TED.com and have the TEDx organizers access those profiles.

Jun 14 2012: Integrate the TEDPrize/ City 2.0
- +1
Our community wants ways to act on ideas worth spreading. They generate more ideas than our team at TEDxHuntsville can implement - if there is a way to help them share and collaborate without our oversight or perhaps collaborate with other TEDx communities who want to get involved beyond a conference, that would be valuable.
It would also be great to browse TEDx design inspiration like website screenshots, branding, promo videos. This content could be submitted and ranked by users.
I also really like TEDxAmsterdam's Ideas worth doing initiative that shares and ranks actions by various TEDx-ers. Would be a great way to inspire action worth spreading!Jun 13 2012: I would really appreciate if TED will be able to share the TEDx Map code or Find TEDx event codes ( which is listed on ted.com/tedx) to the organizers so that it can embedded in our TEDx events webpages which gives visitors the ideas when and how many TEDx are happening or coming we as a part of global community are sharing the same visions and one destiny to change the world.
Ryuta Aoki
Jun 13 2012: TEDx speakers feature pages like TED community.
- +1
It's just one of ideas. The point of ideas is get speakers involved in whole TED/TEDx community for not only involving day of the event. For example, giving badges, feature their project in their profile etc.Jun 12 2012: More emphasis on a community surrounding a particular TEDx event, a bit like Antonella said. If we could follow a specific community and how TEDx has helped transform it and tell the stories around it. Organizers, speakers, and audience stories around an event... maybe highlight one TEDx community a month?
Gliga Vlad
Jun 12 2012: I am really in favour of the "next step": ideas worth doing, so maybe there could be a way to promote action through the ted.com/tedx page.

Jun 12 2012: As the TEDxSuzhou organizer, I wish there were some sort of Social Media feature on ted.com/tedx.
- +1
Because I feel TEDxSuzhou miss many people who are in TEDx Community, living Suzhou and also have same passion. I met some other TEDx organizers on TED Audition and most of us don't know each other.
How can we connect with each other through ted.com/tedx? Connect people based on common ground, such as interests, career, location, etc.
( http://www.douban.com/location ) This is a website I use for TEDxSuzhou's team building at the very beginning and it works. It helps me to find people in same city with same passion and interests.
Connect and Be Connected. Based on common ground, I wish the feature on ted.com/tedx can connect people, connect ideas, connect action.Jul 11 2012: Have a List of Up lifting and inspiring Videos to see. Like this one that I also place on my website.
http://youtu.be/o9mdHMtxOjYJul 11 2012: - visible voting.
- integration with official academics (towards degree equivalency or something)
- project draftings - either ideas with grants for completion, virtual+local team, or some sort of actual action besides enlightened tv and chitchat (apologies for the harshness)Jul 5 2012: Hello, I wish we could upload avatars/pictures on our profiles at once like we can on Facebook and other social media. Do- you think that's so difficult for TED (that looks so assertive at first in matters of science and latest technology? Caching up the present day has to be a priority, I think, even for 'exceedingly glamorous' TED (with tons of information but relatively less wisdom and common sense :-) :-) Thanks, NerminJun 21 2012: Simple is otfen most effective. You have the resource of millions of eager, sharp minds who just want to contribute. Just put up a permanent question asking for TEDx suggestions. We watch these talks, love them and are capable of discernment among them. I can think of several right now that I wish the TED community could see because they are first class in content and speaking style.Jun 21 2012: Well I may be a minority but I'm doing it. I'm kind of easy to please and like keeping K.I.S.S. involved . I would like to thank y'all for ted thanks.Jun 20 2012: TEDx Prize
Giving the awards from TED to most incredible TEDx event and featuring it on the ted.com/tedx.
Maybe I think that we can have some sections like "Good WEB design", "Good Promotion Video", "Good Stories", "Good Venue Design", "Good Marketing Strategy", "Good TEDx Speakers" etc.
This is not just function on ted.com/tedx but I think that it will encourage people who are already involved in each TEDx and make creative people such as designer and filmmaker feel to want to get involved in TEDx more.
And it also effects partnership.Jun 20 2012: Aside from the fact that the current tedx pages are already very good and quite complete in information
Some improvements ideas
- I think the spatial mapping can improve (auto zoom after entering a search term, option to get it on bigger screen)
- Linking the talks to the location of the event (after they appear online)
- +1 to Amy's ideas (city 2.0 integration)
- The link to the TEDx pages on the main site is quite small. I don't think most TEDx visitors come to these pages, but are most often reached through the TEDx Websites. I don't know how to improve connections between the two without increasing the workload of the webmasters... I think the same goes for the TEDx Blog
- As TEDx organisers and teams are getting to know each other better and better (through the various events and personal contacts and meetups), I still think that eshtablishing a network between the different TEDx events might be a nice feature (My idea was that each TEDx connects with the 6 nearest TEDx events around them, with 6 TEDx events in the same continent, and 6 TEDx events worldwide). Visualizing these connections might be a neat feature.
Jul 3 2012: Hi Christophe!
Your search suggestions are a bit prophetic! Have you seen the new and improved TEDx event search? http://www.ted.com/tedx/events
It includes the auto zoom when you search and also, when viewing past events, if the organizer has filled out their event page after the event, there are links directly to the talks (video icon for talks, camera icon for flickr images) Check it out: http://www.ted.com/tedx/events?when=pastJun 15 2012: I recall reading that new 'ideas' in science are adopted, not by the scientists strongly invested in their current way of thinking, but by the new scientists involved in developing their way of thinking. If the new idea survives and is validated, it replaces the current way of thinking, largely because the old way dies out as those vested in it die out. Einstein is considered to be the last deterministic theoretical physicist and I think he was credited with saying that he could not believe that God would play dice with the universe. I think it was Bohr, who said that that may be true, but if you want a good model of the universe, get yourself some dice. Winston Churchill (I think) said that when you are young, read everything. Develop taste later. Knowledge has its own evolution, a survival of the fittest where the strongest ideas emerge and survive and procreate. Although I am relatively new to TED, I am impressed with its existing functionality. You have a wide range of talks on many topics, often related to current issues of concern, that are well presented, suitable for discussion after viewing, understandable to a general audience, and openly accessible. Your commitment to address many issues opens the way to the development of a wide library of ideas on a global scale. If you wish to increase your future functionality, seek to increase your audience for what you already do well. For example, make available libraries of DVDs, by subject or topic, for use by groups, hopefully at special rates; target schools, but especially members of school boards and policy makers in education; target governmental policy makers at the state and local level, develop a list of resources (especially speakers and workshop leaders) available for presentations at professional meetings and other scheduled functions … and so on. Use the barefoot doctor model to get the word out to the grassroots!Jun 15 2012: How about TED/Meet Ups. An ability to arrange informal gatherings with other TED community members in your geographic location, to carry on TED conversations face-to-face, discuss TED talks, socialise and maybe plan more formal events?Jun 15 2012: I wish if there's a task list or something published in the event site which we can volunteer to accomplish. I'm living in Tokyo and I contacted organizers of TEDx events asking if there's anything I can do but I was never asked to do anything which I would be very happy to do.Jun 15 2012: I think there should be a specific website for easily getting into contact with organizers.Jun 14 2012: Suggestion for each speaker in any TED setting/event.
This suggestion may already be true, but I have yet to attend a TEDx or conference.
After each speaker, or at the end of each "day", there should be a question and answer session and a certain amount of time alotted for each speaker. I think that would be very interesting and make information more concrete, though each question would get filtered somehow....so I think the Q and A session would work better at the end of a TEDx or conference "day".Jun 13 2012: Thank you! Keep them coming....Jun 13 2012: WEB links to regional TEDx portal site discussed at TEDxSummit and written in each native languages.
Of course, at first, we need each regional TEDx portal site to break language barrier and to spread TEDx more in each region.Jun 12 2012: Looking at the site information architecture as it is now, it serves a couple of different masters: people who want to know more about TEDx, and those who organize TEDx events.
I think a key question is: Should ted.com/tedx be about and for us, or for the public who visits TED.com?
If the former, I think we have a lot of places we, as organizers, can access content to help us put on successful TEDx events. I'm not sure if how we do what we do needs to be on display to the public on TED.com.
With the latter focus (having a great experience when visiting ted.com/tedx as a member of the public - not a TEDx organizer), I wish the focus was more on highlighting the talks (those "ideas worth spreading") like on the homepage of TED.com. Perhaps, in addition to the sorting features on the homepage, there's an added option of sorting by region, state or country. I'd still see there being About TEDx, Find an Event, etc.

The New York City Edna moved to with her new husband, Wilmer R. Kearns, was bustling with activists and new ideas. The NYP is my least favorite newspaper, but a feature article highlighting this period of history lays it out in "Bohemian Rhapsody," which mentions suffrage activism of the women of the period.

Au coeur de Lausanne
A coté de tous les transports en commun
of the Lausanne GuestHouse began in 1997 with the search for a building adapted to the ideas and the business-plan of the Elmiger brothers and sisters (Christian, Anne-Marie et Jodoc). The project matured and developed over a 3 year period before the actual construction work, renovation and transformation began. This took another year, during which Laura joined the family. Finally, on 3rd August 2001, the "Lausanne GuestHouse & Backpacker" opened in its present location.
is to satisfy a demanding clientele with high standards of service, cleanliness and professionalism, offering the best value for money, while insuring the viability and permanence of our business entreprise. At the same time, we try to promote a dynamic and economically attractive image of tourism in the Lausanne region as well as in the rest of Switzerland.
we support socially responsible employment standards. The working conditions and salaries we offer are therefore much better than average. Our employees enjoy a large degree of job security. We do not employ undeclared personnel, people without work permits or illegal immigrants. The core of our cleaning staff has not changed since 2001!
Ecology (see the "Ecology" tab) is also our concern: we bear the Minergie quality label, observe a strict policy of waste separation and support public transport (95% of our clientele) through our proximity to the Lausanne train station.
Welcome to our new shared working space! Should you want
a quiet space where to work during your stay, please contact us!

LOS ANGELES -- Saturday night, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Rodney Crowell stood onstage at The Troubadour in West Hollywood and read a letter.
"Right now I'm mourning the loss of my little brother and suffering from a broken heart," said Crowell, reading the words of Don Everly, whose brother, Phil Everly, died this month at age 74.
As The Everly Brothers, Don and Phil changed music and created a template for rock 'n' roll harmony vocals. They also feuded famously, breaking up onstage in the early 1970s and going long stretches without communicating. But the brother that Phil always called "Donald" sent word, voiced through Crowell, that any arguments were inconsequential.

Scheduling a medical appointment with a healthcare provider can sometimes be a frustrating task for patients.
Whether its long hold times due to high call volume or the inability to get an appointment that meets the patient's needs in a timely manner, frustration can sometimes carry over to the appointment resulting in patient dissatisfaction.
The 412 Medical Group team wants every beneficiary to have a positive experience and that experience begins with the appointment process. Interested in shorter hold times on the phone? Call when others are not. Want more flexibility in managing medical appointments? Check out TRICARE Online and book your own appointment.
The 412th MDG appointment line, (661) 277-7118, operates from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on duty days.
Appointment line hold times are impacted by a number of factors to include call volume and staffing levels. Appointment line call volumes vary based on the time of day as well as the day of the week. The highest call volume occurs between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Approximately 40-50 percent of the daily call volume occurs during this three-hour period. Hold times during this period average 3 to 5 minutes, with longer hold times frequently occurring the first duty day following a holiday weekend or Monday training day. During known peak call hours, the 412th MDG makes every effort to keep hold times as short as possible, to include dedicating additional staff to the appointment desk. Beneficiaries requiring urgent care after-hours or on weekends or holidays, are encouraged to call the Nurse Advice Line at (866) 535-4137.
So, what is the best time to call the appointment line? Call during non-peak hours. If you are calling to schedule, cancel or verify an appointment that is not for the same day, calling later in the day will lead to shorter hold times. Currently, hold times average 1-2 minutes between the hours of 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. daily.
Want to manage your own appointment on-line? Check out TRICARE Online. Every beneficiary enrolled to the 412th MDG is eligible for a TRICARE Online account. TRICARE Online is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and allows beneficiaries to schedule appointments and cancel or view booked appointments online. Most appointments available for booking through the appointment line are available on TRICARE Online with the exception of Active Duty Preventive Health Assessments and Sick Call appointments for personnel enrolled to the Flight and Operational Medicine clinic. Please visit www.tricareonline.com for more information or to register for an account.
The 412th MDG is committed to creating an environment of world-class health care that is patient-centered and customer-focused. If you have any questions, concerns or comments please contact the 412th MDG Patient Advocate at (661) 275-2698.

Players MAP - January
Goal setting -
Watch this video – what do you see?
Basically the guy is trying to get up the stairs to his goal…whatever that is. So what is your goal this year? What do you want out of soccer? Where do you start?
Well…let's explore where to start. First off some definitions…there are 3 types of goals?
Outcome goals – this is simply where we want to be at the end of our quest. These will be things you are looking to obtain as a result of all your hard work. Examples of these goals are to play at a Division I college, earn an athletic college scholarship at a Division I institution, be a consistent starter on a u-18 MLS academy team, or earn a professional contract by the age of ___.
Outcome goals function as dreams and VERY important as they keep you going when times get tough.
Performance goals – performance goals are detailed improvement areas relative to your own performance. Some playing examples might include working on first touch to get out of space quickly, trying to take players on at least 5 more times in games in order to get behind, spending 30 additional minutes 4 days a week working on receiving balls out of the air. There are also nutritional examples, such as eating a certain type of balanced diet or pregame/post game food. There are also mental examples such as how one will deal with disappointment or losses, or how to build ones focus on perhaps set pieces.
Process goals – are daily checklists and reminders about what needs to get done. These basically function as to do lists. As we all know to do lists are critical and come in many forms for us – yellow stickies, notes on our phones etc. but the gist is that they remind you to get something done.
For you process goals or "to dos" are things that remind us to improve in certain areas and focus on the process. They are things like keep your toe up, head up before you turn, get to practice early, don't forget to compliment Joey, etc. These things are critical to hitting performance goals as well as outcome goals….as they keep our attention focused on the target.
If we look at these 3 types of goals - they fit right into the staircase on the video.
- Outcome – the end of the staircase. This is where the guy wants to go.
- Performance – I need to climb 2 steps today to get there. I need to work on picking my left foot up higher every time to get up that step.
- Process – I can do it! Keep saying to yourself I can do it. When I fall down, don't complain, get right back up and keep going.
The point is that we all need to set goals to reach them. There are some simple ways to think about and set goals. Look at some of the things below and take a peek at how some pros set goals
How do we set goals? A Simple way to think about all of your goals is to set SMART goals.
- •Specific - make your goals specific to what you want and where you want to get.
- •Measurable – You must write down and measure your goals!!
- •Adjustable – don't be afraid to modify your goals as you move forward and reach or barely miss your goals…nothing is permanent!!
- •Realistic – be sure that what you set is realistic to your sill set and ability levels.
- •Time-based – it is very important to ensure you set a time and date to reach your goals…to many process goals with no time table are simply reminders vs. goals that hold you accountable
Here are a few ways for you to start thinking about your goals.
Outcome: Create 2-3 large goals for you to shoot for this year. They can be team goals or individual goals. Write them down.
Examples include:
- I will make the high school team
- I will be a consistent starter by the end of the year
- I will make the regional or id2 team by the end of the year.
Performance: Create 2-3 performance goals for you to shoot for.
Examples include
- Practice my shooting 4 times a week for 30 minutes at a time
- Be sure to attempt 5 shots in every half I play in.
Process: Create 4 process goals, with objectives, for you to improve on this year. These should try to fit into what the team needs for the year.
An example can be
- I will improve my focus during practice and games.
- oI will focus more at trainings when coach is talking
- oI will listen and focus during half time talks by picking out phrases that the coach is talking about
Helpful hints for all of the goals:
- Write them down and keep them posted for you to see
- Set short range AND long range goals
- Set goals for practice and competition
- Set positive goals vs. negative goals
- Failures aren't permanent…and neither are successes…evaluate your goals
- owhen you do not reach a goal review your goal and reset it
- owhen you DO reach a goal…be excited….then, set a new one
Whatever you do…shoot for the stars!!!!

The 1208P movement, is a direct descendant of the famous 12P movement, and is the thinnest self-winding mechanical movement in the world. To set this record at 2.35 mm required all of Piaget's expertise in ultra-thin movements and refined components. For example, some of the gears in the 1208P movement measure no more than 0.12 mm and are hardly thicker than a human hair. The space between the wheels has been reduced to its minimum of only 0.1 mm. The movement is fitted with a balance stop. In order to make the best use of space, the pink-gold micro-rotor decorated with the Piaget coat-of-arms, is off-centre and positioned at 9 o'clock. The movement is fitted with a small seconds which is also off-centre and located at 5 o'clock on the dial. As part of the watchmaker Piaget's constant effort to differentiate its models, it has decorated the 1208P movement wheels with a sunburst motif and a dedicated index assembly carries the stylised "P" of Piaget like a secret signature. Circular Côtes de Genève, a circular-grained mainplate, bevelled bridges and blued screws add the finishing touches to this movement, and are reminders of the Swiss watchmaking brand's high aesthetic values.

En español | During 30 years of running and cycling I'd never suffered a serious injury. Then, last year, at age 52, I decided to enter a half-marathon. I bought new running shoes, doubled my mileage and, within a week, severely strained my Achilles tendon. I lost the entry fee, a month of training and my swagger. It was a valuable lesson.
Our bodies may change with age, but we don't need to trade the gym for the bridge table. In fact, new research shows that exercise can help prevent Alzheimer's, protect against stroke, increase life expectancy and even change our DNA so our muscles work more efficiently.
As we get older, though, we need to be smarter about exercise. Tendons, muscles, joints and reaction times change. We don't bounce back from injury as quickly. Fortunately, new science reveals that a few simple actions, done two or three times a week, can cut your risk of getting hurt. Choose the few that work best for you.
1. Ease into exercise. One sure way to hurt yourself is to do too much, too soon. "You want to literally warm up your muscles, to raise their temperature before you stress them," says Katherine Coyner, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. If you're going to jog, start by walking. Playing tennis? Jog around the court a few times, then add eight to 10 jumping jacks.
2. Embrace the squat. "The single best exercise to prevent injury and maintain leg and lower-back strength, especially as you get older, is the squat," says Stuart Phillips, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Stand with your feet shoulder-distance apart and squat, back straight, until your thighs are almost parallel to the ground; rise slowly. Repeat up to 20 times.
3. Target the middle. The muscles in your core are the fulcrum around which all other muscles in your body pivot, says Coyner. Without a sturdy core, serving a tennis ball or even walking can strain outlying muscles. To build core strength, try the plank — a simple exercise that resembles a pushup (see illustration) — in which your forearms rest on the floor. Hold your core steady for 30 seconds, rest and repeat.
4. Play flamingo. "Equilibrium declines with age," says Vonda Wright, M.D., author of Fitness After 40. And wobbling can contribute to trips and sprained ankles. Increase your balance by standing on one leg a few times a day, she says. Hold for 20 seconds; switch legs. After mastering that, stand on a towel, to make the surface beneath your feet uneven. Then do the exercise with your eyes closed.
Next: Take care of your Achilles. »

Project COMMON BOND brings together teens, ages 15-20, from around the world who share a 'common bond' — the loss of a family member due to an act of terrorism, violent extremism or war. Launched in 2008, Project COMMON BOND has created an international community of teenagers and young adults from 20 nations and territories.
Participants in our summer symposium and yearlong webinars engage in a dialogue of healing and community building, collaborate to promote the dignity of all, and learn conflict negotiation and peace-building skills, all to create positive change in their lives and communities.
Participating countries include Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, England, France, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Pakistan, Palestine, Russia, Spain, Sri Lanka and the United States, with additional countries engaged for long-distance learning.
"At the age of 9, my eyes were forever opened to the cruel reality of terrorism. Thank you for all the financial support that enabled me to participate in Project Common Bond. I have made lifelong friendships. I have learned about the complexities of other cultures. Most importantly, I have shared my tragedy and I have shared my hopes and dreams of making a profound difference in this world, not only in honor of my father, but out of responsibility to myself." -Courtney, Project Common Bond participant

ISC Helicopter-OG Surface Guard Tape (8 mil Outdoor Grade) is an extremely tough conformable polyurethane tape which was formerly referred to as helicopter blade / leading edge wing tape. The tape's 8 mil thick polyurethane backing provides excellent paint protection from punctures, tearing, abrasion and erosion and is also available in 14 mil thick heavy duty outdoor grade version. This outdoor-grade tape provides excellent protection against ultra violet light, temperature extremes and automotive solvents and it will not yellow over time. The tape is clear/transparent and is supplied on a white paper release liner.
Be sure to take note that ISC Surface Guard Tape is made of Polyurethane material not PVC or Vinyl. These other types cannot, and will not, take the abuse that Polyurethane will.
Applications for the surface protection tape are endless and include: bicycle frames, body panels on race cars, ground effects, top fuel wings, bumpers, tailgates, trailer walls, Sprint car wings, roll cages, toolboxes, headlights, wheel wells, truck beds, and door and hood edges. Also used to protect bar code labels under extreme conditions like at ski resorts (to protect skis please see ISC's Helicopter-OG-HD tape which provides more aggressive adhesion). Anywhere there is a surface, unpainted or painted, that is prone to scratching, chipping or weathering, ISC's Surface Guard Tape can do the job. This product was mentioned in the October 2008 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News (page 48 Product Report).

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

The Decoy Bride
Drama, Comedy
When the wedding of internationally famous film star Lara Tyler to tweedy English author James Arber is sabotaged by a paparazzo, they decide to relocate the event to the one place where the world's press won't find them: the sleepy Island of Hegg, as featured in James' bestselling novel The Ornithologists Wife. But to the shock of Lara's P.A Steve Korbitz, the reality of the island is different from the romanticised picture James has created (without ever visiting), and he has to transform this fantasy world before the superstar arrives. However, dilapidated buildings and greedy islanders are the least of the problems that the wedding party and their Hollywood entourage have to deal with, as Marco the ingenious paparazzo tracks them down in his mission to photograph the celebrity wedding of the year. Steve and his assistant Emma must find a decoy bride and think that local girl Katie will be an ideal replacement. But when Katie meets James, sparks fly, dresses get ruined and love gets complicated. Will Katie be able to fool the awaiting media and live up to being a stand-in for the world's most famous movie star? Can an ordinary girl fill the most famous Manolos on the planet? And whatever will happen to her pledge never, under any circumstances, to fall in love again?

The Sirius Direct Satellite Radio Sony package included Sirius SNY-SC1, Sirius Connect SC-C1, all of which were installed according to the included instructions. The radio worked fine for a few months and suddenly froze. It stopped making any sound, although it did still display the station that was on when it froze. I can still switch the display between preset number and the channel number and the list of preset buttons will pop up, although none of them work. AM and FM, as well as all other unit functions are working well. What Now?? 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Decent Solution Written By GW, Georgia on Monday, November 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit works as advertised. The main problems that I have with the tuner and interface are that they intermittently fail to connect with the head unit, and the head unit only displays about twelve characters on each of two lines. Pros: The unit provides full control of your Sirius radio through your head unit The sound quality is equal to the Sirius from my factory Ford radio Cons: The Sirius Sony Package fails to connect with my Sony head unit at times. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No SIRIUS Sony Package Written By DJ, Prescott, AZ on Friday, December 23, 2011 It should be made clear in the discription that this tuner cannot be added to an existing SiriusXM or XM account and if you have those accounts a multi radio discount will not apply. You will have to open a seperate Sirius Satellite Radio account to activate this tuner. Pros: I don't love anything about this tuner and Sirius but it works. Cons: Not compatible with SiriusXM, or XM radio accounts. 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

VERY EASY TO CONNECT, GREAT RECEPTION WITH A TERK ANTENNA I PURCHASED FROM CRUTCHFIELD. THE ANTENNA THAT IS SUPPLIED LEAVES ALOT TO BE DESIRED BY LOSING THE SATELITE SIGNAL EVEN WHEN I WAS IN AN OPEN SKY AREA. 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Works, but that's it Written By Whitey, Boise, ID on Friday, October 08, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I added this to my Sony in dash DVD player. The sound is so/so and the data that streams across is non existent. You better make sure you only want to use only the presets as scrolling through the station list is not possible. Not sure if that is an issue with this unit or the way Sony created the interface but it is not at all user friendly. This is a much worse option than just getting a radio with the satellite built in or a standalone receiver. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great device Written By Anonymous, Clearfield, PA on Saturday, July 24, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to install and comes with everything you need.

Welcome to the NHL, Next One! The Sidney Crosby era in the NHL began on October 5, 2005 at the Continental Airlines Arena, as Pittsburgh's superstar teenager made his debut against the New Jersey Devils.

Recipe by W King
"Fluffy pancakes that melt in your mouth. Separating the eggs and folding the whipped whites into the batter, nothing is better. Grills up to a golden brown."

1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
baking powder
1 cup
egg yolks
egg whites
I started reading the reviews while beating the egg whites, and I nearly decided to throw the batter out. Sure glad I didn't! I added a tablespoon of sugar to the white's and a dash of salt, and the whole family loved them! And they DID turn out nice and fluffy. Those whose didn't, must have been an operator error? Ain't always the recipe, sometimes it's the cook! Amen?
Although these are very light and fluffy, as other reviews have said, they are very, very eggy!! If I were to re-name this, I would call it French Toast Pancakes, because that is exactly what it tastes like!! I added 3 tspn. white sugar and 1 tspn. of vanilla. I also added fresh blueberries to half the batter and no matter what, they still tastes too eggy--but I am sure my husband will eat them, he is like Mikey and will eat anything!!

The best pancakes I have ever tasted. Seriously. I have eaten a lot of pancakes at home and at the best diners but never so light and delicious. Plus you don't get the after-brunch-stomach-blues because they're not heavy at all. I agree with other reviewers about adding a tablespoon of sugar, but with a sweet topping adding more is unecessary. About the "too much egg" issue, I assume that some other reviewers didn't beat the egg whites enough. You will know when they are stiff enough when you can turn the bowl upside down and they don't fall down. One really needs an electric beater to make the egg whites stiff or else you'll lose your arm. It is, of course, easy to remove one egg yolk if it floats your boat better. They even taste good after a few hours, while most pancakes turn inedible.
I enjoyed making this recipe. The pancakes were extremly fluffy and had great colour. The only problem is that, using 3 egg yolks made the recipe quite "eggy." I could taste the egg yolks in the pancakes. I would suggest reducing the number of egg yolks to 1 or 2 and using 3 egg whites to maintain the fluffiness of the pancakes.
really (x 100) good recipe will be normal breakfast in my house. Big hit with the kids! just leave one egg out and isn't eggy at all. Make batter overnight and let it set. Makes it 100% better! Thank you!
I thought this recipe was delightful. I made into more of a dessert than breakfast. I added 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/8 cup sugar to the batter. I also added 1/8 cup sugar to the egg whites while beating. They really cooked up light and fluffy. I then topped off the pancakes with blueberry syrup and RediWhip whipped cream. Yummy!!! Thanks very much for this recipe.
My husband and I LOVED this recipe! It is true that the recipe does have a slightly 'eggy' taste, but it is very tasty. The results are light and fluffy... and very yummy. I tried saving some batter to use a little later, but the whites seperated. I mixed it up again, but the pancakes were very thin, and not as tasty as the fresh batch.
This is a wonderful recipe!! I use it all of the time now! Very fluffy as long as you are careful to follow the directions, and fold the batter. I've often added chocolate chips or apple to the batter and it always turns out yummy!

Sarees are the most elegant attire of a woman and these can be draped over the body in numerous styles to magnify the grace and aura of a truly Indian woman. The most common style to drape a saree is to wrap it around the waist using one end, and drape the rest over the shoulder, bearing the midriff. But today, almost every region has its peculiar style of draping a saree, and the most famous ones include the Gujarati-style, the Bengali-style, the Professional-style, the Modern-style, and the Historic-style. Besides the draping patterns followed by different regions in the Indian sub-continent, there is an ample variety of the types of sarees that belong to several parts of our nation that are popular worldwide for their unique design and look. Some of these include the Chanderi, Maheshwari, and Kisa silk sarees from Central India; Ikkat, cotton and silk Sabalpuri, Mooga silk, Bomkai, and Phulia sarees from Eastern India; Paithani, Bandhani, Kota, and Patola sarees from Western India; Mysore silk, Kumbakonum, Madurai, Venkatagiri, Mundum, and Kadangi sarees from Southern India; and Banarasi, Phulkari, Shalu, and Tanchoi sarees from Northern India.

Upcoming trip to Tokyo/Kyoto
First of all I'd like to thank all the experienced hounds for their postings.
I have never been to Japan before and knowing that business casual is acceptable in most (Japanese) restaurants was something I had been trying to find out but only got confirmed here.
I'm also not that experienced as a chow hound, but I like good food and have had some good sushi and other Japanese meals before (in LA and LV in the US, sadly nothing good in the UK) so decided to make food one of my primary focusses on this 'trip of a lifetime'.
I am travelling during Golden Week, so Sushi Saito was booked solid even two months out. Here's what I *have* got booked, starting in Tokyo.
Sushi Yoshitake. Was glad to hear that Yahitake-san has some English as this will be my first high end dining experience in Japan. I don't know any Japanese but have learnt that the phrases itadakimasu (I humbly recieve) as the first dish is served and gochisosama deshta (thanks for the meal) as you leave are appreciated.
I will be travelling with my Michellin Guide, Sushi dictionary and Japanese food dictionary, and taking a notebook to write down my impressions. If I can pluck up the courage I may well ask for the '5 tastes of tuna' as described elsewhere on this site to slightly supplement the omakase. Do you think he would mind if I took some no flash photos of the food? Is this generally acceptable/unacceptable?
Hagazumi in Minato-ku
Seems to have an interesting menu. MIchellin advises the Udon omakase. Any hound tips on this one?
Like All the restaurants I will be visiting I have matched the google maps street view to the pictures of entrances in the Michellin guide or on the website to make sure I can find the place! This one is a bit more off the beaten track than most and has a particularly anonymous entrance :)
Uchiyama, Ginza
I wanted to have a kaiseki meal in Tokyo and this one looked like it was good value (I can't afford 300k Y for all my meals)
Chanko Tomoegata, Ryogoku
Not a Michellin starred restaurant this time, but it's a chanko-nabe restaurant. I will be at the sumo all day and then visit this restaurant within easy walking distance of the Kogukikan afterwards. I'm not the smallest of fellows, so I will fantasise that I too am a mighty sumo warrior as I tuck in to (what I am currently minded to go for) a kobe beef hot pot.
Now to Kyoto.
Not got long in Kyoto, staying at the Hotel Granvia in Kyoto station for one night. Was hoping to maybe pick up one of their bento lunches there as they look very good, but maybe other hounds have a better value for money option for lunch?
For the evening meal I have gone for Fujiwara in Gion. It looked to have a contemporary twist on Kyoto style cuisine and had a reasonably priced omakase (I've gone for the pricier of the two offerings). As a plus, it's easy walking distance from Gion Corner.
I will update this post in a month or so when I am back from travelling, but would be very interested to hear any hound tips in the meantime.
Domo arigato gozaimasu
You don't really say "itadakimasu" at restaurants but I guess they might get a kick out of it...Definitely report back on Tomoegata. Enjoy your trip!
I just visited sushi yoshitake last week. Yoshitake San is the most welcoming of chefs. I took picture of literally every dish I had. He would gladly inform guests of the fish involved in each dish. Look out for the ebi (shrimp) sushi, it was divine.
I would recommend Kikunoi for a kaiseki lunch. Ask for counter seat so u can see the many chefs in action. The lunch costs 10000 yen and is quite reasonable for what it consists of.
re: CWFOODIE
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll not be embarassed to take pictures now.
Kikunoi has a website in English and it's name on the entrance, how easy is that!
Just to show my ignorance again. When you get Bento from high class restaurants is this still a meal to be taken away or must it be eaten at the restaurant? The boxes and dishes in the pictures look too good to take away, so I'm asuming it is an eat in, but Marayamu park is just across the way, so I could eat-out there I guess. I think a full kaiseki lunch and dinner on the same day is a bit ott :)
I'll be a lot more knowledgable on Japanese food when I come back, that's for certain!
re: pinballer
When you get a bento it just means that it's served in a box (or boxes), and served all at once rather than as a multi-course affair.
re: CWFOODIE
So does your camera smell of fish after the meal ? Or do you eat sushi with chopsticks ? :)
It may sound like a joke-question, but I'm actually serious, I understood quite a few high end sushi places advise the customer to eat sushi with their hands, and I'm thinking both of the camera smelling of sushi, but also a camera which is brought everywhere and left in a pocket or bag is not the cleanest equipment, so won't your hands have a plastic/unclean taste after taking numerous photos ?
I know, sometimes I have some weird worries... ;)
re: Rio Yeti
When you eat sushi with your hands, you can wipe your fingers on your oshibori after each piece.
re: Rio Yeti
You don't need to eat with your hands if you don't want to. Many people use chopsticks in high end sushi places too. And, of course, some pieces, like sashimi, must be eaten with chopsticks.
re: babreu
But I want to ! :)
re: Rio Yeti
Yes traveling in learning few words is important, as the instant is so important and the collective memory is so in tradition in Japan, in the generations chef in kaiseki sushi, and all these chef that succeeded to their fathers have been collecting few words for accomplishing.. Hope you will have this instant memory with the chef in a counter sushiyasan or.. after in a kappo like Koju in Ginza that dinner begin at 14700yens, and equally cheaper than the Uchiyama, even I haven't tried it, it seems to have good reviews from japanese and foreign customers, the chef is so into putting his soul into ingredients.. right now my preference is on sushi..
For sumo, don't miss the early bouts, from 'lower' divisions (the wrestler from top divisions arrive in the afternoon, the highest division - Makuuchi, with Yokozuna, Oseki, ... appearing last). It is really worth it to stay long hours and eat a bento !! Me I was a lucky one, I was invited in a box and had food for 2 days !! After, in may, it will be kind of difficult to have a nabe, just go for a soba and tempura to the near one Michelin star, the tempura ate there were ok just too expensive in my opinion(tempura + soba, almost 5000yens).
re: Rio Yeti
The difference between eating sushi with your fingers and with hashi is big. !! The master(if good master!), will press the rice(shari) differently, more softly if you eat with your fingers, and if you eat with your hashi it will get more compact ! Mizutani San made me that remark at the end of the omakase, you eat with your hands, I hadn't noticed earlier !! Too busy to realise what is going on the other side of his counter.. of 9 seatings (that happened 4 years ago)!
Amex rang all the restaurants again to confirm the bookings and it turns out Uchiyama have decided they no longer want to open on a Sunday, so my booking was cancelled.
Gone for Rokukaku-tei instead. Food on sticks (yakitori), well I'll give it a go :)
Back from Japan, so here's my review of the restaurants visited. I don't speak Japanese and am not the most experienced in Japanese food, so please take all these reviews as uninformed. I was a bit worried about how easy it would be to find some of these places before I went, but with a bit of research on google street view matching the pictures in the michellin guide and a good map it turned out to be mostly pretty easy, so I ended up arriving pretty early at most places, but this didn't seem to be a problem for any of them.
These were all dinners with the top available menu selected.
In Tokyo
Sushi Yoshitake
Many of his dishes have something extra to them, rather than just fish, rice, wasabi/soy. There has been some discussion of his rice, but I liked the red vinegared rice very much.
There were 7 sashimi/non sushi courses first. A couple of these were the 'only in Japan' types which I sometimes find difficult including a dish of baby eels about 3 cm long which were actually impossible to chew, they escaped your teeth. I think the trick is to swallow them without chewing. The other being baby shrimps which were similarly translucent, but a bit easier to handle. The highlight of the sashimi for me was the bonito which was amazing. Very lightly seared on the outside with a little soy and I think some mint. The octopus (slices from a fully grown octopus but extremely tender) and the snapper were also very nice.
Then 13 pieces of sushi served one at a time. 3,4,5 were three types of tuna. The very fatty tuna was the best I have ever had. It actually melted in my mouth in a way no other has. Finished with unagi and miso soup, I don't usually find unagi that interesting (having only had the cheap stuff) but of course here it was very good.
I liked the way he had all his ingredients in wooden boxes, the ingredients were clearly presented during the preparation which was done on the counter which was on a level to allow customers to see everything that was going on. Yoshitakesan did speak English and was happy to explain the ingredients but a few of them were beyond his powers to describe and beyond mine to identify. All in all, an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours but not the meal I enjoyed best in Japan.
This was only 1 star, but was the meal I enjoyed the most. The chef is quite young and good looking and he prepares the dishes with some flair. He had managed to get his hair to look like a Japanese version of Gordon Ramsey :)
This was also the only restaurant that had background music (light smooth jazz) but is wasn't intrusive. A nice touch was that if you order sake, the waiter comes round with a tray of vessels of all kinds for you to choose your own, and each new sake you order you get another choice of drinking recepticle.
Started with an amuse bouche of white asparagus and other veg in a creamy sauce.
Next a miso flavoured custard with soy beans and little crisy balls.
Than a platter of sashimi, squid, tuna (chotoro I think as there were no lines of fat in it) and a white fish with a silver skin (herring?) with grated lime zest (one of Yoshitake's dished also had grated lime zest, so I wonder if this is a popular technique now. I'm not sure it's a great idea myself).
Then a soup with dashi stock (he used a pot to cook the dashi in and various ingredients, so it's involvement with various dishes evolved throughout the meal). Various Japanese veggies and celery. The starch was a soft white blob of something I've had before but can't remember what it is (it's not tofu). The whole was a very delicate flavour and enjoyable.
Next cold buckwheat noodles with a vinegared collection of veg cut into tiny 3mm cubes with a blob of fresh wasabi on top. This was excellent!
Next was a grilled sardine dish. I hesitate to call it sushi as there was about 4 times as much fish as rice and it came with a sweet potato mash ball and pickled veg on the side.
Then another broth dish with 3 main ingredients boiled in the dashi and some grated daikon on the side. The dumpling was great, it had some sort of tomato based stuffing that was delicious.
Then a dish of grilled vegetables including japanese sweet peppers with lighly seared beef. This was the low point in the meal for me as the beef was a bit chewy, but it had good flavour.
Finally rice and pickles. The rice had various seasonings in it and a lot of freshly grated ginger and was very good. Since they then served tea and took my chopsticks away, I thought this was it, but they then served a sweet which was a big blob of sweet kelp jelly dusted with icing sugar that had the consistency of slightly thick wallpaper paste but was delicious.
This was the only meal I had in Japan where I came away stuffed full with that sated glow. I think this guy has potential to work his way up the Michellin ladder if he buys some slightly more expensive meat/fish ingredients. It certainly felt like good value for money at 14k including various sakes and beer.
This was kushiyaki cuisine. I have to say that it more suited to an evening of boozing rather than dining. As such it was suprising to find they only had one sake and one type of beer on offer. The wine menu was more extensive and seemed to be what most patrons were going for. The idea is that the skewers keep coming until you say you are full. After 20 skewers, I wasn't full so I asked for 5 more. It turned out that he has 24 different skewers so this caused a bit of confusion. I would have liked to re-order some of the earlier items rather than go for the last 4 which weren't that great. The fish skewers were all very good especially the Scallops, clam, shrimp, salmon and octopus. Other items included, beef with curry sauce, bamboo shoot, burdock, yam, pumpkin, broad bean, cheese, a small whole fish, sea bream with green onion, herring and some other items that I was unable to determine. The chef will show you the pre-cooked skewer if you are interested to determine what it is.
The chef did offer me some bread, which I should have accepted because 24 very small single skewers (it would take about 3 to make up the content of a normal yakatori skewer) weren't enough for a filling meal in my opinion. I felt the need to go in search of rice when I left. Perhaps the idea is to get some early boozing done with a few skewers here, then go do some more boozing and then hit a ramen stand later on. Or perhaps just go for lunch.
This was also the quickest meal I had at about 1 hour.
Chanko Tomoegata
I was looking forward to this, but the language barrier proved unsurmountable even though they have an English menu. You should really go here in a large group with at least one Japanese speaker to make the best of it. If you want one of their banquets you need to pre-order. I ended up having their eponymous miso chanko. Made with four types of miso, the broth was great and the ingredients added to it in the basic menu were all good, but it was sad that I couldn't get some more ingredients and try out their menu a little more extensively. Other customers decided to go with Ramen rather than chanko.
In Kyoto
This was another classic Japanese counter restaurant like Hagazumi. I have to say that I probably had the most enjoyable night here. The assistant Chef has excellent English and one of the customers turned out to be her husband who spoke English even better and we chatted throughout the meal. The food was very good but not as good as Hagazumi in my opinion and with less prospect for improvement. The location in Gion was excellent, but be warned this is not an easy place to find, it's down a back alley in the warren of Gion and I had to get some on street help to find it even with all my maps and compass. If you are used to relying on a GPS you might find you miss your reservation time!
When it became clear I was interested in the contents of what I was eating, the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Japanese Food Items came out and much dictionary work and discussion ensued :)
It was nice to see them grating the wasabe freshly for each course that needed it. I couldn't see what they were grating it on, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was shark skin.
Meal contents were:
Baby squid with mustard.
Herring Roe.
Steamed Sushi with accompaniments (which was great and somewhat of a house speciality I gather. Reminded me of taste of glutinous rice steamed in lotus leaves that you get as Chinese dim sum).
Red snapper and eel with sea urchin.
Grilled Sea bream, clam on a shell with japanese peppers and white asparagus.
Wakame seaweed, tofu and bonito flakes with dashi broth. (Although simple Japanese fare, this was exceptionally good)
Whole fish and japanese pepper tempura (the fish tasted very strongly of liver which wasn't really to my taste).
Sweet potato dumpling stuffed with meat in a gelatinous broth with broad beans and some grated ginger on top.
Rice, pickles and miso soup. The rice was another masterpiece. The topping I think was tiny (1 cm long) fried baby eels and the rice was excellent.
The sweet was a fruit salad jelly in a cocktail glass.
Some of the descriptions above don't do justice to the complexity and presentation of these dishes which were all of extremely high quality.
I took photo's of almost everything, so I'll update if I ever upload them to anywhere.
As to the Sumo, that was a great day, but those good bento lunches need ordering in advance and you'll need a japanese speaker and a permanant address in Japan to get them, although I think there are some vendors who can provide this service from outside Japan. The bento boxes on sale at the venue are pretty poor, so you might want to bring in your own from outside (although this is technically not allowed).
The other food highlight was breakfast at Tsukiji Market. A full maguro platter at 7 am :)
That was more about the experience than the food quality though.
re: pinballer
I've uploaded an annotated picture of the roomservice champagne breakfast at the Hotel Granvia in Kyoto here:
The photo shows a one person serving.
I didn't need to eat for a while after that :)
re: pinballer
Hagazumi... I assume you're talking about Nagazumi. Didn't knew this restaurant but it looks quite interesting. Some very positive reviews on Tabelog also.
The lime zest is probably yuzu zest (a very aromatic japanese citrus, which I'm a huge fan of). It's indeed very common in japanese cuisine.
BTW, If you search 元赤坂 ながずみ on Google you can walk inside the restaurant using street view. Very cool!
re: babreu
Yes, apologies. Nagazumi. Tabelog seems like a tough crowd if they give this restaurant less than 4 on average.

Interestingly the very first uxtheme.dll patch came from the styleXP crowd. I recall back then that they marketed their program to beginners but offered a patched dll as a download for 'experienced' users.
In fact their app really just performed the same patching but did so in ram making it a temporary change.


text: I'd say wide receiver, pass rusher and safety are the biggest needs and this is shaping up to be a nice draft for those positions. I'm really high on Keenan Allen and Justin Hunter at wide receiver. What are some of the better prospects there that make it to round 2? There seems to be a lot of pass rushers and I'll have to see more of these guys live to form opinions. I love the two linebackers on Stanford Chase Thomas and Shayne Skov. I think Miami needs to rebuild it's linebacking core as Karlos Dansby, Kevin Burnett and Cam Wake are all 30+. Jackson Jeffcoat is a pass rusher I like, but I need to see all the top rated guys. I'm excited to see Jonathan Banks at corner and Eric Reid at safety - two guys that are talked about as top 10 type prospects. I expect Miami to be picking top 10 this year and hopefully taking off in 2013 or 2014.
