Honeymoon Dinners in Singapore
We have 2 nights in Singapore on our Honeymoon, both are stopovers before going to and coming home from Bali. The first night will be the first night of our Honeymoon, we're coming from NYC and while we will be jetlagged, we still want something spectacular for our first night.
We are looking for something memorable in both food and setting. We would like to stay in the Asian food realm, but if there is something that we must must eat we will do that as well.
We were looking at:
Iggy's, Andre, fiftythree and Blu, but I am open to all suggestions.
What would be the best for our first night and last night's dinner. As this is our Honeymoon price matters less than over all memorable evening.
thank you very much in advance.
Firstly, congratulations, and also welcome to Singapore.
Fiftythree has closed recently, so strike thatvoff your list.
If you are just into food, Andre will do just fine. Iggy's is a bit too pretentious - but its industrial-like production team is quite efficient. Both restaurants do not have views of any sort.
If you want spectacular views of Singapore, try Ku De Ta at Marina Bay Sands or Jaan at the Swissotel. Wishing you a great honeymoon, dears.
re: M_Gomez
Thanks, I definitely won't go to fiftythree then ;) Ku De Ta sounds great for ambiance but i'm noticing the food there isn't so good. Is it still worth it to go? Is the view and ambiance worth the less than stellar food?
re: cjthekid
Eat elsewhere nearby, maybe London Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton's newish Pollen at the Gardens by the Bay (book ahead!), *then* come to Ku De Ta for its drinks, music, and absolutely spectacular view. Nothing you'd seen anywhere in the world will prepare you for the sights here :-)
re: M_Gomez
i've just had a very good meal at jaan (now under julien royer); personally, i'd say that the general quality of the food is about 90-95% percent of what andre offered when he was helming jaan, and the best dishes just as stunning.
some photos of my recent meal to whet your appetite :)
1. lentil crisps with chestnut puree, mashed potato croquettes with cantal cheese and tarragon cream, chicken skin, apple with smoked duck - the "skins" are an andre "creation". still good though. the potato-cantal croquette was delicious - very moreish.
2. mushroom sabayon, with mushroom tea, walnuts, and puffed rice - i'm a big fan of foamy textures. this was like a comforting bowl of soup, with much more interesting textures.
3. cannelloni of new caledonian obsiblue prawn and avocado, with chorizo iberico, black mushrooms, and oscietra caviar - the avocado was the "skin" of the cannelloni. very sweet prawns. strangely, the chorizo seemed a bit overwhelmed by everything else (there were only two small cubes of it buried in the cannelloni), but otherwise a good balance of tastes and textures.
4. fifty-five minute rosemary smoked organic egg, with garden peas, fairy rings, bellotta, and cepe nougatine - i never did figure out what fairy rings are. bellotta and runny egg is a winning combination!
5. bread and butter crusted wild-caught langoustine, with fennel, grapefruit, elderflower espuma, and burnt onion broth - this was absolutely delicious. very sweet langoustine, and the bread and butter crust very umami (not much taste at first, then suddenly there's a flavour explosion in your mouth).
6. escalope of landes foie gras, with pain perdu, mara des bois strawberry, rhubarb gel, and caramalized hazelnuts - don't get the escalope bit. best combination for me was foie + rhubarb + hazelnuts.
7. linee caught atlantic cod, with crayfish, girolles, and beurre noisette broth - my favourite dish of the night. fish that is barely cooked through (my favourite way of cooked fish preparation) + burnt butter! i think i mopped up the sauce with bread. heh.
8. hay-roasted bresse pigeon breast, with confit of leg, smoked aubergine, pickled cherry, buckwheat, jus d'abats - very pink breast. lovely texture, not tough at the slightest. liked the robustness that the buckwheat imparts to the dish. the pickled cherry sauce worked very well with the meat.
9. lemon curd, basil sorbet, and thyme espuma - heaven in a cup. second-favourite dish of the night. i'm going to try making this - the flavours gel so well!
10. choconuts 3.0: sable breton, tanariva chocolate, tonka bean ice-cream, macadamia and pecan nuts, walnut snow - fitting dessert for a great meal. again, loved the various textures.
11.mint sorbet lollies, lemon madeleines, passionfruit and banana marshmellows, lavender chocolate, rosemary mousse spheres with dark chocolate shells - favorite was the lavender chocolate.
re: akated
Those dishes looked ravishing!
Would be great if you could also give a frame-by-frame description of the dishes you had & what you thought of them (doesn't matter if they are brief).
re: klyeoh
just did =)
re: akated
Thanks very much for your prompt response!
BTW, your #4 - " i never did figure out what fairy rings are". Those would refer to a specie of edible mushrooms used in the dish. There are several types of mushrooms which will grow in a circular pattern on the forest floor, and this will be called a "fairy ring" :-)
Top restaurants to try now include:-
a. Restaurant Joel Robuchon
b. Andre
c. Guy Savoy
d. Waku Ghin
e. Raffles Grill at Raffles Hotel, after a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar.
cjthekid - Blu at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore's also closed!
It must have been pretty recent, we were at the Shangri-La Hotel last Tuesday (July 17) and a hotel staff we spoke to the main reception thought the restaurant was still open. So, we actually took the elevator to the top floor where it's located, and was taken aback that the entire dining space was devoid of any activitiy - eventhough the furniture were all still there. Another hotel personnel up there came along & informed us that Blu's shut down and the hotel will be revamping that space. The Blu Bar was still operating. Pity, I loved that place:
P.S. - Still remembered when Blu was newly-opened back in 1999 thereabouts. Touting modern-Californian cuisine, it even offered the legendary Screaming Eagle Cabernet at a mind-boggling S$675 (> USD500) a glass then! Oh, but those beautiful statuesque hostesses in their long, slinky black gowns, shimmering with sequins - now *that* was memorable.

"Oh, but those beautiful statuesque hostesses in their long, slinky black gowns, shimmering with sequins - now *that* was memorable."
Oh? o_Ô
re: huiray
Well, that's what I still remembered after all these years. It's great bringing business associates there, and watch their initial reaction :-D
re: cjthekid
Well, it would be interesting if you can try both, make a comparison and share with us what you think.
Andre Chiang's very talented, so the restaurant's pretty much a superchef-driven set-up.
Iggy's, on the other hand, does not depend on any particular celebrity chef, but a team of trained, anonymous young chefs whose talent would be to replicate dishes from famous restaurants around the globe (think Fat Duck, El Bulli, WD-50, Noma), perfect the whole thing & then present a slick dining experience to the diner.
re: klyeoh
To pretty mediocre effect, it must be said. I've never really understood why people are so crazy about Iggy's.
Andre, on the other hand, is definitely worth a flutter.
re: Julian Teoh
Same sentiments here wrt Iggy's. But you *have* to give it to Ignatius Chan: he managed to tap into the Singapore psyche: create an expensive, see-and-be-seen space, make sure the city's movers & shakers become regulars, serve some decent food, provide bended-knee service and, voila, you've got the city's most feted, recognizable brand-name in dining. Iggy's faithful following include some of the most influential F&B personalities in Singapore, which guaranteed it high ratings in the Miele Guide, San Pellegrino world's best restaurants guide, etc.
Well, Ignatius Chan has been in the Singapore dining scene for decades - I remembered him as being perhaps Singapore's best sommelier at the now-defunct Ristorante Bologna back in the 1980s.
re: klyeoh
i totally agree with you guys! i fail to understand why people go gaga over the food at iggy's. i mean, it's good food, but not jaw-dropping amazing food.
re: akated
My sisters, who loved dining out with their spouses in 3- or 2-Michelin-star restaurants in HK, simply loved Iggy's - not at its current location at the Hilton, but the old one in the Regent Hotel. I felt the same as you all with regards to Iggy's, but my sisters and their husbands seemed to think that Iggy's offered them the BEST dining experience in Singapore, and that the food was even better than what they had back in HK, e.g. L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Caprice, Bo Innovation, Amber, etc. I'm still scratching my head wondering why. Maybe we took things too much for granted here in Singapore! I personally thought the service was more polished in HK than here in Singapore. And the old Iggy's seemed cramped, like dining in a small dark room.
re: M_Gomez
Old Iggy's was indeed good when they started at Regent Hotel. I was a regular back then. l recall the price was just slightly above SGD100. But standard just deteriorated in the last few years while their price escalated at the same time. I hardly go back there anymore.

A lot of people this week have commented on what a dramatic tournament it has been already. The Venus-Date match was an obvious highlight and there have been a lot of exciting matches. Personally, I have had two thrilling match days, mainly because of the weather.
My two match days so far were kind of similar: on Tuesday and Thursday I started matches after 8pm and managed to finish just in time, before the light ran out. I would be lying if I said I was focusing only on winning each point: at the back of my mind was the desire to get the job done before darkness, so that I could have a day of practice and rest.
I have played both my singles matches on Court 12 and it's been full both times. For the evening match on Tuesday I really sensed that the crowd, like me, was relieved to be on court after the rain delay, and they seemed to really enjoy the match.
Doubles on Thursday with Petko was also a lot of fun – it's almost like light relief in between the seriousness of the singles competition. We were very relaxed and played some good tennis. I was probably hitting the ball better than in my singles match earlier in the day.
I'm very happy with how things have gone schedule-wise, despite the waiting around. The only downside was that I was planning to see Kings of Leon in Hyde Park on Thursday, but my match was scheduled late. Actually, I realised the night before that it would be more sensible to stay home during a Grand Slam and not disrupt my sleeping routine.
During a Grand Slam it's important to do everything you can to increase your chances of success - you don't want to leave the tournament with any regrets!
Ana's Wimbledon third round match against Petra Cetkovska is scheduled as the third of the day on Court 18 on Saturday. It is expected to begin sometime after 2.30pm local time (3.30pm Central European Time; 9.30am Eastern Time). Click here for live point-by-point scoring from the All England Club.

Recipe by Cinnken
"These pancakes are passed down from my grandmother, who was fully Scandinavian. They are light and fluffy, and great with berry syrups. I have made these for years as a special treat, and I hope you enjoy them as much as my family has."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 1/8 cups
2 tablespoons
butter, melted
The first time I made these I followed the directions exactly and they were OUTSTANDING; light and fluffy as air. The second time I made them I did not have any buttermilk in house so I made some buttermilk using milk and vinegar. The second batch was good but nowhere near as good, or as light and fluffy as the first batch I made with the real buttermilk. I don't know why they weren't as fluffy but if I have any recommendations to make I would tell you to use the real buttermilk for the best results! Added fresh blueberries to the buttermilk batter and they were delicious that way as well! This is so very simple to mix together, that I will never use the packaged pancake mixes again. When I double this I double all the ingredients except for the salt. I just love making things from scratch for my family whenever I can and this is just as simple as a boxed mix, but much, much better!!!!! Update! I added a teaspoon of Vanilla Extract to the batter - took this recipe OVER THE TOP!
I tried this recipe as written and should have known better about the amount of salt it calls for. A 1/4 Teaspn per cup of flour is enough. I also think I would cut the baking soda next time to 1/2 teaspn per cup of flour as well. There's sodium in baking soda. With the recipe written as it is, I have to give it one star due to the high sodium content. The recipe as written with the amount of salt plus baking soda makes the pancakes taste like brine. I couldn't eat it. I don't mean to be harsh but if anyone tries the recipe as written they will see what I mean. Next time I will make the adjustments and think it will turn out excellent pancakes.

These were the BEST buttermilk pancakes! They were super easy to make. If you have 3 or more people, I would double the recipe. Yummy, yummy, yummy!!! Also, I didn't change ANYTHING, but I would say it is always preferable to use Buttermilk if possible - and there's nothing like hot maple syrup on top :) Thank you for sharing this recipe, it couldn't have been easier to make.
First time I ever made pancakes from scratch & these were so wonderful & EZ to make. The directions were well written in describing the batter since it didn't look like any other pancake batter I'd ever gotten out of a box. The end result was fantastic. Light & delicious & just as described in the picture. Thanks!
Delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly, so fluffy!
Yay! Homemade, easy to make pancakes and as someone else mentioned they do taste like Cracker Barrel pancakes! No more Bisquick mix for me. :) The batter was very thick for me, so I added a little more buttermilk to make it a little easier to spread, but I think its because my flour was packed down pretty hard, so there was probably more than 1 cup in there. My son loves them - he devoured three and had one without syrup just because he liked the taste so much. He's already scheming about having the 1 leftover pancake for dessert!
No need to ever buy the boxed stuff again after trying this! Wouldn't change a thing - perfect as is. Very fluffy pancakes. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow, these were amazing. Everyone loved them, even the kids. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I made them again with Robin Hood Nutriblend flour to make these a little healthier and they still turned out wonderfully! Very fluffy and super easy to make :) Thanks for the great recipe!

Do individuals have a social media strategy
Do you blog? do you tweet? do you tumblr? Why and why not . Do all these decisions form a persons' social media strategy? or that's a thing only for corporations?
Kathy Castle
Feb 20 2012: I absolutely have a social media presence--whether it's a strategy or not, I'm not sure. I think it's vitally important to assert yourself in social media mainly because I wish to have a voice--and without a clear presence in social media, I am not able to contribute meaningfully to the global discussion. My social media presence is my way of countering the absence of power I have in traditional media--it's my way of pushing back a bit against the messages that are imposed on me to which I cannot respond in the formal media environment. So, yes, I do have a blog, and a website, and a profile on LinkedIn and an active Facebook page and I use Twitter to a certain degree. As an individual who hopes to make some kind of a difference in the world around me, I see this as one viable avenue through which my voice can have an impact. My blog: http://kathy-momphd.blogspot.com My website: www.kathycastle.com
- +2
Feb 21 2012: @Kathy Castle: From the conversations gathered above we can safely conclude that the collective set of your decisions constitute your social media strategy. The other aspect that I am interested in is Do you choose what goes to your blog (private/personal issues and professional life or both).Feb 23 2012: As social media has become a grand corridor of marketing, people must have strategy. But it depends on so many things. I know some people invest more time and money on social media strategy rather on business strategy.
Dzung Jonny
Feb 21 2012: In my opinion, I think we should better choose 1 or 2 as the maximum number of social media as the tool to introduce ourselves. Cause we do don't have much time and so we need to put a lot of effort to keep it alive and act deeply for our personal brand. Using too many social media strategy might lead you to go insane and a waste of time.
- +1
I myself only have 2 social medial strategy: my facebook and my TED. One to update my daily life, my picture, my thinking with close friends and one to study, to share my ideas about the world, to learn how to inspire people and to develope myself as a global positive person.
Fritzie -
Feb 20 2012: I think "social media strategy" can be interpreted in several ways for an individual. People who seek to promote themselves as a brand or to promote an independent commercial venture will tend to think through the sort of social media presence they want. Others may want a platform or several to communicate ideas worth sharing. I do that in a blog, but my blog is actually anonymous. I am happy with disseminating the ideas without bringing attention to myself.A third dimension or type of social media strategy is a decision as how to integrate social media into a productive working life. In the same way that businesses may assess the cost and bemefits of marketing themselves through a myriad of channels, I know many individuals who are strategic in deciding how much social media they can afford to build into their lives while still remaining productive. For example, I know many creative professionals and hobbyists who worry that social media can become a time sink that distracts them and impairs their productivity in their creative work after a point. For these people, the social media strategy is about how to budget the time they spend engaging socially or even passively in social media so as to be as productive in their primary undertakings as they would like to be.
- +1
Feb 20 2012: Dodging the current social media juggernaut is in itself a strategy. Strange enough, the friends who I find most communicative and really supportive in real life maintain a surprisingly low profile online! It seems to me that very often social media is just a surrogate of human touch there where true and direct human touch is too problematic to get.Feb 21 2012: Thank you Fritzie Reisner for your insights, what happens to the individual who doesn't wan't to promote a brand but just use social media e.g.
Rule 1:
Use Facebook only to connect to personal friends and share personal stuff.
Rule 2:
Have a LinkedIn account to look for new job opportunities.
Rule 3:
Twitter to be a middle ground between personal and professional life.
Rule 4:
Have a blog to disseminate random ideasFeb 23 2012: Social media has the potential to create many new ideas, depending on how someone uses it. It could be used to spread ideas and branch out. Other times, it provides a place for people to vent. I guess I fall into both these categories but I also use social media to put my artwork out for people to see and talk about.Feb 23 2012: Depending on one's goals, a social media strategy can be right for you. Its about using the channels at your disposal to form your voice online. I blog, I use Facebook, I tweet (incessantly), I pin. Sometimes all I do looks random, but if you look closer and actually converse with me, you soon realize that the randomness is for a reason.
If you're interested in looking at the channels I use, you can do so by going to http://about.me/thegaryjnixFeb 21 2012: Hi Chris,
My blog is actually a culmination of personal and professional thoughts---it's where I apply what I study and consider in my "academic life" and how that applies to my personal roles (as mother, wife, friend, concerned citizen)...it's a chance for me to sort through my thoughts and try to see how things connect...hopefully leading to a more productive application and connection between these two worlds that are often held up as disparate--public vs private selves...I guess you could say that my blog is a challenge to that separation.
Feb 21 2012: Thank you Kathy, I am in the process of re-evaluating the social platforms that I need, getting a 'social media strategy' would come in handy, I am jittery to share personal experience at the same time have lot's of professional info I can offer.Feb 21 2012: Well... I do use facebook, twitter, linkedin etc and i use them because I find them the most easy and convenient method to spread something which is good or beneficial to others!
Infact, the most fast approach to spread the word. And not just to spread good things, but also to warn others of some obstacle/risk they might face!
In a way, if I can help someone through this, that would be great!
But, I would not call it my social media strategy!Feb 20 2012: Heres my strategy, http://selfsustainworks.com/beta_site/. i think its worth a shot :)Feb 20 2012: I use as many tools as I can for spreading "ideas worth spreading" among other things. These tools include Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Tumblr, Blogger and Flickr... Some of my accounts are available through my Klout http://klout.com/#/JimmyStrobl
Please check my Conversation http://www.ted.com/conversations/9406/how_do_you_use_social_media_to.html
Feb 21 2012: @Jimmy Strobl : What's your take on 'Less is More' idea on Social networking platforms. Should you only choose a few platforms that have the highest impact?
Feb 21 2012: Hi Chris
I think that to have the maximum impact you should definitively go for the biggest, first! But reaching out, or at least having a somewhat good profile across many different platforms can certainly have it's upsides.
I think that It all depends on what you're aiming for...
Feb 21 2012: I find it quiet cumbersome and time consuming to maintain numerous account, to add on blogging. Maybe creating a personal social media strategy could straighten that out. Another aspect I discovered is that if your content (blog, tweets) is good enough, other people would carry them to the other platforms, to me the focus should be on good content and a few outlets (Twitter, LinkedIn) to disseminate them.

The annual St. Marys Rotary Club Halloween Parade kicked off at 1 p.m. inside the gymnasium of South St. Marys Street Elementary School. Approximately 200 youngsters participated in the event with various scary, cute and whimsical costumes. Among the costume winners were humorous renditions of a toilet seat, a bucket of popcorn, a Lego block and a large piece of candy corn.
Throughout the week, elementary and middle school students from the St. Marys Area School District gathered for hands-on, interactive experiments inside the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau's Mobile Ag Ed Science Lab.
The lab, contained inside a 32-foot trailer, was situated outside the St. Marys Area Middle School's outdoor classroom.
Mobile Ag Ed Lab Instructor Greg Burns of Lake City worked with students on a variety of experiments, all of which meet the state's science curriculum standard.
During Friday night's Annual Chamber of Commerce Membership Banquet, prison warden Greg Gebauer discussed the Elk County Prison System and provided a history for attendees.
Gebauer was hired in 1987 as a deputy sheriff by former sheriff Raymond Krasinski.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch football team closed out their 2010 season with a 28-20 victory over the Karns City Gremlins Friday night at Dutch Country Stadium.
The Dutch finished the year with a solid 6-3 record.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, as the teams exchanged the lead during the first half and early in the second half.
St. Marys began to take charge when they went up 20-12 with 40 seconds remaining in the third quarter on a screen pass from quarterback Brad Yetzer to running back Brian Merritt, who took the ball 34 yards for the touchdown.
The Elk County Catholic Crusaders spoiled the Ridgway Elkers' Senior Night by handing them a 41-0 setback on Friday at the Ridgway Area High School. The Crusaders rebounded from back-to-back losses to Brockway and Curwensville to play a very solid game on Friday against the Elkers.
"I feel that the way we practiced this week was the key to tonight's win," said Travis Skrzypek, head coach of the Crusaders. "We worked hard all week long in practice and as a result, we responded well in the game situations tonight.
Phase one of the Kaulmont Park project wrapped up last week with the planting of a number of trees around the park's walking trail.
Clythera Hornung, secretary and treasurer for the Shade Tree Commission, explained that the trees were chosen because they represent 18 native Pennsylvania trees.
"Our goal is to have examples of each of the 50 to 60 native Pa. tree species that are hardy to this area. We plan to seek funding to continue this project in the future," Hornung said.
The trees are part of a tree identification program and will not become memorial trees.

from Vietnamese Viet, the people's name + nam "south." Vietnam War attested by 1963.
Republic in Southeast Asia, bordered by Cambodia and Laos to the west, China to the north, and the South China Sea (an arm of the Pacific Ocean) to the east and south.
Note: Vietnam was under the control of France from the second half of the nineteenth century until World War II, when it was occupied by the Japanese. The country became an autonomous state in 1946. France's attempts to reassert control resulted in the French Indochina War (1946–1954), in which the French were defeated.
Note: The Geneva Conference of 1954 divided Vietnam into North Vietnam, controlled by communists, and South Vietnam, controlled by noncommunists.
Note: In the Vietnam War of 1954–1975, South Vietnam, which was aided by the United States, fought communist insurgents, who were aided by North Vietnam. The war ended when the communists overran the south in 1975. The country was reunified in 1976.
Note: American involvement in the Vietnam War was strongly protested in the United States.
Note: Great numbers of Vietnamese refugees, known as boat people, fled the country in the aftermath of the war.
Note: Between 1978 and 1979, Vietnam invaded Cambodia and installed a puppet government.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Heather Johnson
"I came up with this recipe to entertain friends. Since I am a semi-vegetarian and love to BBQ, I am always inventing something new. The first time I made this, my meat-lover friends raved about this dish! I prefer mesquite coals over gas barbeques...however, either works fine."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1/8 cup
olive oil
1 cup
sliced red bell peppers
1 small
zucchini, sliced
red onion, sliced
1 small
yellow squash, sliced
(4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally
1/2 cup
crumbled feta cheese
Trust me, you will not miss the meat in this sandwich! I also broiled my veggies because of the snow outside on top of the grill. The only veggie I added was green pepper only because I had one. I will use a large red onion next time because we love the carmelized flavor of the onion under the broiler. I also sprayed my veggies with balsamic vinegar for some extra "zip". Served the veggies on hearty multi-grain rolls from Whole Foods - - use the best bread possible because it truly will make or break the sandwich. Excellent recipe, Heather!!
It was okay but there was a bit too much garlic. I recommend only using 1.5 - 2 cloves.

This was quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had (my hubby said the same thing). We put it in italian-seasoned focaccia and after the veggies were done (we grilled them on a gas grill), we assembled the sandwich and wrapped in foil and put in a 350F oven for 20 minutes. Incredible. I want another one already. For us, this made 2 very large sandwiches. UPDATE: we've made these about once every other week and we still haven't gotten sick of them. Make sure and make the sauce about ahead of time and let it sit for about an hour in the fridge to mix the flavors well.
It was a little confusing about how to slice the foccacia bread and why the recipe serves 4 when the instructions seem only to make 2 sandwiches.
But nonetheless, I winged it and like the other reviewers said, it was terrific. My vegetarian friend I made it for really liked it.
Next time I'll cook the vegies in foil wrap to save on turning and watching so much. Will also add portabello mushrooms.
This was absolutely delicious!! One serving filled me up. We grilled the veggies on a tin foil platter sprayed with olive oil and it worked great. We grilled them for 7 minutes a side also to make sure the onions were soft and a bit carmelized. (We don't like them raw.) Try it!!
Just made this for a few neighbors with some slight changes and everyone was asking me to make it again for them and they would buy the ingredients! I added portabella mushrooms and eggplant. Marinated the veggies and did as others suggested, roasting them on foil. Added pesto and sun dried tomatoes to the aoli sauce.
This was FABULOUS!!!!! Only thing different I did was add portabello mushrooms, and I marinated all veggies in a balsamic vinaigrette before grilling....YUM!!!!! I also used a big loaf of bread and cut it horizontally and made it like a big sub that I then cut into pieces!!!! EASY and GREAT!!!!Thanks Heather, for a GREAT recipe!!!!
Wow, now this is veggie heaven! What a fabulous sandwich that's not only bursting with vibrant colors but it's also bursting with a lot of flavor! Grilling the veggies really gives it a nice smoky quality that tastes great. I added a bit of garlic, rosemary, thyme, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper to the olive oil to baste the veggies while grilling. I also grilled some thick sliced tomato along with the other veggies and opted for some mild cheddar cheese vs. feta. This was great on focaccia and I'd love to experiment with other types of bread - this recipe is a definite keeper!

How do I use TED to learn english?
Hello everybody
I want to learn english by using ted.com
Can you help me?
Thank you!
P/s: Please sympathize with my rather bad English ability
(English is not my native language)
Fritzie -
Jul 7 2012: Listen to the TED talks on a subject that is familiar to you.
- +2
Alongside the videos, there is typically a written transcript in English. Reading that after the talk, or pausing the talk now and then to read, may help you keep up if the spoken language feels to fast.
Jan-Bernd below suggests you also read the comments in TED Conversations. The one thing you need to remember in doing that is that we are not all native speakers of English here. People will make mistakes in grammar, spelling, diction, and punctuation even if they are native speakers.
From where you are as an English language learner, you should feel free to participate and know that no one will hold against you that you are not fluent. Many here are not. Conversing in English is an excellent way of learning the language, more to be able to communicate your ideas so that others understand than to refine your skills in written and spoken English.
Jul 7 2012: Thank you so much.
Ah, do you know why I can't upload my avatar?
Lejan .
Jul 7 2012: My be the picture you have choosen is to big in size for uploading or it comes in format which the TED system can not process. I used a small *.jpg picture I had of me and reduced it in its size with a picture processing software. It should work for you as well, just try again.
- +1
Jul 7 2012: Thanks but I have choosen is correct.
The system show my picture have uploaded 100%, but I can't still see my avatar.
Lejan .
Jul 7 2012: I can't see it either. Hmm, interesting. Maybe you should contact TED directly, if this problem remains.
- +2
Lejan .
Jul 7 2012: Watch as many videos as you can. Use Vietnamese subtitles were available to learn new vocabulary. Read as many comments in TED conversations as you can, look up words you don't know and learn from English natives how they construct their sentences. That's all you can do here at TED to improve your language skills.Jul 23 2012: My friend. I learn english by finding songs, reading and singing their lyrics. You will be amazed you much fun is to learn english.Jul 10 2012: Tung Le thân mến,
- +2
Dưới đây là một ý tưởng. Bạn có thể sử dụng TED và "google translate". Đơn giản chỉ cần gõ trong các bình luận của bạn, và nó sẽ tự động dịch. Bạn có thể tìm hiểu như bạn đi cùng. Chúc may mắn:>)
Tung Le
Jul 10 2012: Thanks Colleen
- +1
I usually use google translate, but I see "google translate" sometime translate incorrect, example about: grammar. meaning ...
I think "google translate" translate words well, but translate sentence so bad.
Jul 10 2012: I agree Tung Le, it is not the perfect way to learn a language. It is simply another tool. People on this thread have provided some good ideas...watch as many videos as possible, read the transcripts, participate in discussions, and you can continue to refine your use of the language. And remember...those of us who know english as our first language do not always use it perfectly. I wish I could speak and write YOUR language as well as you write my first language! I am joyfully honored that so many people in our world speak MY first language:>)
Tung Le
Jul 10 2012: Thank you so much, Colleen.
- +2
You give me more motivation.
one day, I hope we can meet and talk by english together.Jul 10 2012: Dear Tung Le,
It would be enjoyable to meet and share thoughts, feelings and ideas in english. I look forward, with anticipation, to that day:>) And here we are...already sharing a conversation!
Tôi tự hào của bạn.
edward long
Jul 9 2012: Sometimes a TED contributor will offer a criitique of your use of English, for example:
- +1
1) In your bold print headline you chose the word "learning". The correct word is "learn".
2) In line 1 insert a comma after the word "Hello". Capitalize "english".
3) In line 2 change "learning" to "learn". Insert the word "using" after the word "by".
4) In line 3 the word "can" should replace the word "may".
5) In line 5 change the word "for" to "with". Insert a period at the end .
6) In line 6 you do not need the word "unfortunately". Insert a period at the end.
Your command of English is impressive. Do not quit studying. Congratulations!
Jul 9 2012: Edward, I would often be grateful for the same help. Email anytime!
Jul 9 2012: Oh please! Upon review of your Profile I suspect you are making a jest about needing help with the Queen's English. I cannot improve upon your use of English. Now, if you need help being caustic, sophomoric and/or vituperative, I'm your man!
Jul 9 2012: Hey
Edward, you know by now that I am too dull to pull your leg. In fact, I do have a great education but it is because my strength is in drawing out meaning. Even now I cannot do what you did for Tung Le because my grasp on these things is poor. I hated APA style and never really learned that either. My request was quite sincere- as I always am even when I am wrong.Jul 9 2012: OK. If I see you commit a literary faux pas I will email you a suggested correction in a plain brown wrapper. I still think you might be funning me though.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
OK gals and guys,
How you store your disc? Do you keep them in an order or rack them. Are they kept by color, by wieght, or by a brand name? I known that some of us have a lot of disc. What do you said about your disc?
Views: 238
My discs are in my bag. When I throw I take them with me to the course. When I am done throwing they come back inside the apartment. Rinse and repeat.
Man, this site is acting up lately. Even typing in text is painfully slow and jumpy.
I have two shelves, kinda looks like bowling ball style shelves, so disc can sit vertically side by side. Each one holds about 150-200 disc. I have the bottom rows (5 rows per shelve) filled with stuff I will most likely never throw again, early 90's crap plastic. The top rows are my main back ups for ease of access. As far as all the rest go I have changed it up from brand type, to color, even by stability. Currently they are arranged by color, but will probably go back to stability as that seemed to be the best way to find a disc. I did it alphabetically one time but that actually made it harder to find disc. I also have the wall above the shelves covered in tournament stamped disc and Ace disc to finish off the room.
You guys must have more discs than me. I carry 11 discs in my bag. All previous discs become "trunk discs" which are only for emergency use or when I don't want to lose a good disc (like when we are out designing our new course). I like to keep things simple.
For Collecting or using?
Well...............If you stack them , you can make flater disc's on the bottom of the stack.
If you stand them up on edge , you can get a domey type of disc.
For disc storage I use Sterlite 20 quart storage bin #1844. Walmart, K-Mart, Target, etc.
Store mine standing in custon wooden racks that i developed that hold about 50 with slidable dividers and have handles if I want to take a rack on the road. Cool design that I am considering marketing. They are even stackable.
I just got back from doing a little R & R. Where can I order an disc storage unit like this one? And is it mobile? Great reply and good throw.

Two weeks the Hérault, Cantal/Lozère/Aveyron, and northern Gard/Ardèche -- report
Thanks to everyone — including and especially mangeur, Ptipois, Parigi, johanabanana — for the recommendations leading to two great weeks (mid Sept) in (1) the Hérault; (2) the intersection of the Cantal/Lozère/Aveyron; (3) northern Gard and much of the Ardèche. I'll mention in separate posts within this thread most of our dining stops, and I'll try to augment many of them with a few photos (taken furtively by iphone, often as my wife rolled her eyes).
We really loved these areas for the people we met, the fine driving roads and walking paths, beautiful vistas and villages — and very often fine foods, including châtaigne in many forms.
In line with recent requests/comments, I'll usually give our dining price totals. (Note: Most lunches included an aperitif, a demi or pichet of local wine, a local bottled gazeuse water, and one or "deux express"; dinners almost always included the same, but with a full bottle of wine and only one express.) — Jake
Sète & Bouzigues: After a delightful picnic on the TGV from Paris (our standard: a crusty baguette, jambon and beurre, and fromage with white wine, etc.) and a refreshing citron pressé on the canal in Sète — it was hot and humid — we dined on a Monday night (limited options) at Restaurant Quai 17, in the Le Grand Hotel de Sète, http://www.legrandhotelsete.com/#/en/... . Our corner room at the hotel with a view onto the canal was fantastic; dinner at the nice-looking first floor restaurant was merely good to OK. We each had the 29€ menu, "entre terre et mer"; sardines and mackerel, moules and tomats, lotte, and gambas bio plancha, a bottle of local wine and water. 100€ total.
The next day, after a leisurely drive around the Bassin de Thau (and thanks to Parigi for encouraging a diversion up to Pézenas, where we ordered more citron pressé after walking around the beautiful town), we had a very nice and totally fresh lunch at Restaurant Rive de Thau, on the edge of town and directly across the road from the oyster beds. We split "Le Special" — a plateau of raw oysters and moules, 6 oysters gratinee, and a simple crisp full bottle of picpoul; then 1 creme brulee, and 2 express. 43€.
Sète — dinner at La Coquerie, 1 chemin du Cimetière Marin, http://www.annemajourel.fr . This was one of our top three meals of our southern trip (lunch at Jardin des Sens and dinner at Faurie were the others, and one more that I'll mention later came pretty close). This small place is a 20 minute walk from the bustle of the town and canal, in a residential area (next to the cemetery) quietly overlooking the sea. There's seating for about 12-14 inside, where you can watch chef Anne Majourel, a twinkle in her eye under a cocky cool hat, work behind the counter. There is seating for 6-9 outside at three terraced tables under substantial rectangular umbrellas with a partial view of the harbour/sea. It was too stuffy/hot inside, and so we dined out.
We had earlier that day seen a negative review in Anglo publication "The Herault Times" (Sept-Aug 2012), complaining about the service and idiosyncratic ways of the place — but still saying the food was worth its star. (Gripes included: Failure to adequately accommodate a group of 4 when they arrived 10 minutes before the 20:00 opening; a single handwritten menu and wine list gets passed from table to table; no substitutions were allowed although a dietary restriction was mentioned when the reservation was made . . . .)
It took a while for the chef's husband to come to our table with the lists and take our apéro order; but when he did, he gave us full attention. And we had a totally enjoyable seafoodcentric evening. After, chatting inside with chef Anne after all of the inside diners had departed, we mentioned the negative review, laughed about it, and she gave us as a souvenir that evening's sole handwritten no-choice menu. But still I'm not sure I've properly read her handwriting:
"Prélude: Le filet de nuge des pehits nelieres, tomate grand Coeur glace basilica, vinaigrette feuille de Moutarde"; "Ouverture: [L tougeouuette] [huh? sp?] de Merlu des Halles, langoustine de pays, bouille, aïoli, turbine à l'oseille"; "Suite: Le dos de daurade saisi sur la veau, aubergine, tête de veau faudante (the only non-seafood item on the menu) , aromate palourde à l'orange"; "Final: Les figues confites a la vanille . . . ." All with a fantastic local white wine — "Escalelle" [sp?] — it managed to be creamy and minerally at the same time — at 54€; 2 coupes champagne; 1 glass local vin blanc to go with the fromage; 1 grand Chateldon; 2 dinners at 58€ — total 218€. Not inexpensive, but great ingredients from the nearby bustling "Halles de Sète." (Where we went each morning for a simple breakfast of express and regional yogurt.)
Next: Hotel Mimosa and environs (Saint Guiraud, St. Saturnin de Lacian, St. Guilhem le Dessert, and In Montpeyroux) with a side trip to Montpellier. — Jake
re: Jake Dear
Wonderful. Can't wait for the rest.
Great details, Jake. Am saving this thread to my profile page to use with malice of forethought. Many thanks. :)
Restaurant Grill Le Pressoir is directly across from the charming little Hotel Le Mimosa, http://www.hoteldumimosa.blogspot.com/ at the planetree-lined center square of quaint 34725 St. Saturnin de Lacian. Those who have been to Le Pressior in prior years or who have read the book "Virgile's Vineyard" will certainly not recognize the place. It's been totally remodeled and now specializes in "grillade au feu de bois" — take a look at its spare web site photos: www.restaurant-lepressoir.fr . Over three days, we had a lunch (64€, with a full bottle of wine) and one dinner (90€). The food was good and nicely plated, but not great. The most memorable dish was my andouillette (very good, and I've had many others); other dishes were well-executed and simple, like a salad of anchovies; grilled lamb; and a grilled rolled round of sausage. This is a nice, bright, and rather stylish local place, and certainly convenient to the hotel, but hardly a destination. One hopes that locals make it a success; the street side terrace seems be a hangout for them.
Restaurant Le Mimosa is down the road from the hotel in 34725 Saint Guiraud. Until next month, anyway. We were a bit apprehensive about going after reading some recent cautionary reviews here (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/854933). But we are not sorry that we went. The 2 km walk over from the hotel was pleasant. On arrival, we found a heartfelt written notice, in French and English, explaining that they are closing for good in November. They want to sell, but will quit in any event. This, after 28 years and a couple prior attempt s at selling/closing. What a difficult business.
We had nice chats with Bridget Pugh (chef and former ballerina, she glides across the floor) and her husband David (wine service, and a very pleasant fellow). We each ordered the five-course 58€ menu "capricieux," with 29€ wines by the glass for each course (plus David brought extra — three vintages of one). They are selling off their considerable cellar if they can't market the place as a going concern. The food was good, but maybe a bit heavy. (I was far too full by the end — partly my own fault, from taking parts of my wife's plates before she gave them up). Plus the room seemed to get rather warm; I was looking forward to the walk back with aid of iphone's flashlight feature — it's very dark out there. In fact, we turned down an offered ride from another couple also staying at the hotel, feeling we needed the exercise and air. Total with 2 aperitifs & 1 water: 194€. We wish them the best.

With Power Comes Responsibility
Tweet Days before the 2011 Session of the Georgia General Assembly convened, Senate Republicans chose to strip Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle of much of his power over the body. Despite Cagle having just won re-election by a wide margin, Senators declared that the constitutional responsibilities of running the Senate should remain with them. [...]Read More →

"Excellent and practical"

This is very practical blind that I recommend thoroughly to anybody. It is easy to install, easy to clean, and nice to look at.View this product
"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product

Rob Liefeld is Right: How To Deal With Haters
It's not a stretch to say that Rob Liefeld is probably the most vocally criticized creator in comics. There are countless posts on the internet bashing the work he's done in his 24-year career in comics, and in certain circles, the man's very name is synonymous with bad art and an era of success that almost tanked the entire industry with an illusion of success based on "scarcity" and the idea of comics as "collectibles" rather than as stories.
But the one voice that's been

September is all about that back-to-school groove and officially saying goodbye to summer. Retailers are right there with you. In fact, they've been trying to get rid of summer merchandise since last month, and now it's really got to go. That means even lower prices for you.
Countertop appliances: Now's the time to upgrade your cooking gadgets. It's the end of wedding season and new models will hit shelves before the holidays, so many manufacturers are discounting small appliances. Fun fact, the number one item on wedding registries is a stand mixer. Save 20% off stand mixer attachments at KitchenAid.
Grills: Labor Day may mark the official end of grilling season, but there's no reason to quit the grill just yet. The majority of grill owners (62%) use their grills year-round, according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association. So, although grills are in the summer clearance, there's no reason you can't put this bargain purchase to immediate use.
Luggage: There's a lull in travel right now, which means luggage sales need a boost. Look for end-of-summer clearance sales and upgrade to lightweight luggage and functional carry-ons so you can avoid increasing luggage fees. Baggage fee netted nearly $3.5 billion last year, a huge increase from the $464 million it was just five years prior, according to the Department of Transportation.
Coffee: Need a double espresso to kick-off the school year? This month, find discounts on home brewers, single serve cups and more. Look for coffee shops offering freebies and discounts on September 29 for National Coffee Day.
Recreational gear: Bikes, water skis and any gear that requires a sunny day is probably on sale, especially if it belongs in a lake or ocean. You may also want to check secondhand sporting goods stores, which may be anxious to move this merchandise and willing to negotiate with you on a price for these big-ticket items.
Final tip: In honor of National Coupon Month, it seems only right to stock up on cereal. It's one of the most popular coupon categories and there's no shortage of cereal deals this month as it is an essential to any back-to-school grocery list.
Check out some of our great cereal coupons below:

Timeless purity and classicism converge in this ultra-thin white-gold timepiece, which pays homage to the elegance and refinement that is characteristic of Piaget. In a resolutely minimalistic spirit reflected by the highly contemporary dimensions of the Altiplano, Piaget continues to push back the limits of micromechanics by achieving two new records in the field of ultra-thin watches: thanks to its micro-rotor principle, that of the thinnest self-winding mechanical movement on the market measuring just 2.35 mm thick; and that of the thinnest watch in its category, with a thickness of 5.25. The bezel is fully set with brilliant-cut diamonds, combining sobriety and elegance.
1208P movement
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.

What a difference two years makes for Senate Republicans. After a cycle punctuated by disappointing recruits, missed opportunities and disastrous results, the party has already started the new cycle on an impressive note, even before the new year -- and a new campaign committee chairman -- arrives.
Former South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds announced that he would be forming an exploratory committee for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., two months before the November elections. Republican congressmen are lining up to challenge Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., emboldened after the party's takeover of the state Senate for the first time since Reconstruction. And most importantly, Rep. Shelley Capito, R-W.V., announced she's challenging West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, landing the party a bona fide prospect they lacked in the state over the last two election cycles.
This column recognized early on that something was amiss for Senate Republicans in 2012, despite the favorable landscape. Senate seats being contested on welcoming turf in Florida, Missouri and West Virginia weren't attracting top-tier GOP talent despite the prospect of millions in outside super PAC money.
By contrast, the early movement is a clear sign that Republicans view this midterm cycle, with President Obama in charge for the next four years, as a more inviting environment than 2012. Not only are Democrats defending more seats than Republicans (20 to 13) – after all, that did little to help them this November – but many of the most vulnerable Democratic senators hail from some of the most conservative states in the country, where Obama and Democrats have struggled badly over the last several years.
After losing two seats, newly-minted NRSC chairman Jerry Moran now needs to net six seats to win back control of the Senate. The formula is simple, but challenging: Win six of the 7 Democratic-held seats in states Romney carried (Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia), or expand their wiggle room by ousting a vulnerable Democrat like Minnesota Sen. Al Franken. Republicans hardly face any exposure: Even with prospective primary challenges, only Maine Sen. Susan Collins is even remotely at risk this cycle against a Democrat. All told, the 2014 map is even more encouraging for Republicans, provided they land the right candidates.
Capito is giving the party confidence its Senate slump is over. As a Republican who unlocked the state's Democratic DNA before it broke Republican, she's long been a hot commodity for statewide office. Her father, Arch Moore, was the only Republican ever to beat Rockefeller -- in the state's 1972 governor's race. But she's long resisted entreaties from national Republicans to run, most recently in 2010 and 2012 against conservative Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in favor of a 2014 campaign against Rockefeller, who is more liberal than his Senate counterpart and more beatable in a state trending the GOP's way. Rockefeller's support of cap-and-trade legislation and outspoken criticism of the coal industry for opposing clean energy legislation have made him high vulnerable in an energy-producing state; Democrats openly speculate that he may retire rather than face his first competitive campaign since 1984.
Another encouraging sign for Republicans: Capito jumped in the race early, seemingly unconcerned about the threat of a primary challenge from the right. That's a shift from last cycle, when party operatives speculate that recruitment suffered because enough prospective candidates passed on bids, wanting to avoid the risk of facing a more-ideologically pure primary opponent. When brand-name Republicans, like Tommy Thompson or George Allen aren't deemed kosher by party activists, it makes it tougher for a lesser-known congressman with a few wayward votes to risk their job and, in turn, the nomination. (Think ex-Missouri Sen. Jim Talent or Rep. Jo Ann Emerson in Missouri; Reps. Jim Gerlach or Pat Meehan in Pennsylvania).
Already the anti-tax Club for Growth and Sen. Jim DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund issued statements criticizing Capito's support of earmarks and wasteful spending. The knee-jerk opposition shows how West Virginia is unfamiliar terrain for many of these outside groups. Mitt Romney didn't sweep West Virginia because of his party's support for spending cuts and entitlement reforms, but because of the antipathy to the Democratic party's environmental policies that threaten the local economy. West Virginia is a Republican-trending state, but isn't becoming a fiscally conservative bastion. (One of the four Republicans to vote against Paul Ryan's budget: West Virginia Rep. David McKinley.)

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.

Artisan: Gertrude Kitia
Handicrafts have been Gertrude Kitia's passion for as long as she can remember. This interest, coupled with a strong determination to help struggling women survive, led Gertrude to teach ancient Masai beading techniques to local women in Tanzania. Eventually, Gertrude formed a women's cooperative with the aim of helping women in her community who needed employment.
Despite the challenges of its remote location, limited transportation and non-existent government aid, the cooperative has managed to thrive because of Gertrude's tenacity. She not only provides women with trade skills and technique, she also promises fair wages and working conditions for the women, a situation which is fairly uncommon in Tanzania. The cooperative is also environmentally focused and uses recycled and natural resources in all of their designs. Gertrude's cooperative not only provides a better living for women through sales of their designs, it has also successfully preserved traditional beading techniques and patterns of the Masai people.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 574 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bill Read the Manual but Clear Details Lacking Two weeks since installation and it has some great features including that of being quieter than most, most of the time. There are a couple of exceptions such as when it's first started there is some strange mechanical clicking (almost clanking) that is apparently it getting it's mechanical act aligned by its computer. The other, is if it gets its load out of balance before initiating a spin-cycle it can shake the entire room. This can be addressed but the manual is more than vague on how to deal with it. On the very positive side these seem to be short and transient issues and for the most part this is a very quite and (seemingly) solidly built machine. It does get clothes, sheets and toweling very clean, which is what it's supposed to do. And once you get used to the computerized input (versus previous mechanically operated machines) it seems ultimately to do a good job. Ask again in a couple of years... May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stayathomedad FANTASTIC Washer IF YOU FOLLOW Product Manual This is my second LG Washer. They are extremely quiet and effective washers. This washer has great variety, can wash quickly when lightly soiled, or has many options for deep cleaning ("Bright Whites", steam clean, etc). Some have complained that it leaks, and it will IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE. (Many folks don't do the proper maintenance, and then complain when it doesn't work perfectly). If it leaks - whether you've had it for 10 years or a day, follow the trouble shooting instructions - wipe clean the gasket and the door, clean out the trap filter, and add chlorine and put an empty load on "TUB CLEAN". IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC! (I did it soon after I had it delivered). If you do the regularly recommended maintenance, it will work like a charm and last for many years. It's among the top rated by Consumer Reports. Years ago, LG had trouble stocking parts for washers, but now you can order nearly any part on-line and have it delivered in 1-2 days (which I did for my first LG washer / dryer set). May 16, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by irjm1 I really like this washer This is my second front loading washer. The first lasted about 13 years. I can't speak to the long term reliability of this washer but after one month of use, I really like it. It has all the features I wanted as far as being able to adjust for different types of wash loads with extra rinses, prewash, etc when needed. It is large enough for fairly bulky items, up to a queen size comforter. It spins much better than my old one, shortening the time in the dryer by 10 to 15 min per load. I found that the turbo wash feature really speeds the wash time, and the clothes still are clean, so I use it most of the time. It has a few regular maintenance suggestions (dry the rubber piece when finished with the day's loads and clean the filter pump once a month) and I have found them very quick and easy to do. The only caution I have is that if you have some types of plumbing, I can see where water hammer might be a problem as stated by other reviews of this washer. The valves do really snap shut tight multiple times as the washer fills. It has not caused any problem with my plumbing, but appears to be a problem for some people. May 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PJC Love this washer! Everything has come out Super Clean. Even old stains have come out. The customer service on the 800 number has been very helpful. I've called twice with questions and they were answered very quickly. They were also very friendly. May 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by m2leslie Great Washer I enjoy the many efficient cycles of this washer. There is sufficient capacity to reduce the number of loads each week. May 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sara Super washer! My old washer was more expensive with a whole lot of features that I never used and broke a number of times. My new LG front load washer is a larger capacity with same features and costs less and works super. I am really happy with my choice. April 28, 2014
