Three Rooms of Melancholia (Melancholian 3 Huonetta)
The grim toll the war in Chechnya has taken on that nation's children is the focus of this harrowing and powerful documentary. The film's first chapter was filmed at the Kronstadt Cadet Academy, where children between the ages of 9 and 14 (many orphans or from poor families) are taught the skills of soldiers, foreshadowing the lives they will probably lead in the Army. In the second segment, cameras capture the sad realities of life in the bombed-out Chechen capitol of Grozny as orphanages struggle to care for youngsters whose parents are either dead or no longer capable of raising them. The film concludes with profiles of a handful of children who have been traumatized by the war, ranging from a boy gang raped by Russian troops to another whose own mother was driven mad and tried to kill him.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

LETU is also the only comprehensive, university-level aviation program in the state of Texas. All training, labs and classes are taught by LETU instructors and faculty, meaning no part of the LETU training program is sub-contracted to third-party contractors. If you are passionate about aviation and want to turn your dreams into reality, you're in the right place.
With seventeen degree and concentration options (Bachelors and Associates), you are sure to find an aviation degree program that will help you turn your passion into a rewarding career.
As you get to know us, you will find that we take our Christian faith very seriously. We think that being a genuinely Christian university involves more than a name or a set of rules. Indeed, our Christian faith is foundational to all that we do.
With a long history of excellence, highly qualified faculty, respected alumni, excellent students, and state of the art facilities, we have a lot to offer.
Our program began in 1956 as an "on the job" training program at our founder's (R.G. LeTourneau) aviation business here in Longview, Texas. Students could begin studies any Monday and learned by working alongside qualified aviation professionals. Over the past five decades, almost everything about our program has changed, but the personal integrity, professional excellence, and ability to "get the job done" remain the hallmark of LeTourneau aviation graduates.
As LETU aviation continues to expand, we've added two online degree programs in Aviation Management and Aviation Studies to complement our thriving on-ground programs.
Our faculty are academically qualified and have world class industry experience, including airline, corporate, missions, manufacturing, and military aviation. Our faculty have "been there and done that," and their experience provides a unique richness to the classroom and laboratory.
LETU aviation alumni are respected professionals working around the globe as mission aviators, airline pilots, engineers, managers, aircraft inspectors, military pilots, corporate leaders, air traffic controllers, and aircraft mechanics. They are men and women of faith, personal integrity, and professional excellence, making a positive contribution in aviation workplaces around the world.
With standardized test scores well above the national norm, our students have the ability and drive to become excellent in their profession. They also give back to our community and industry. Whether it is our NIFA team supporting the largest "fly-in" in the state of Texas, or our mission aviation students helping promote the Gospel in remote parts of the world, our students are actively engaged in service learning.
The Paul and Betty Abbott Aviation Center is a world class facility located across the airport from where our story began over five decades ago. Our students study in state-of-the-art laboratories and fly airplanes that are maintained to the highest standard by our own professional staff.
Students of the Aviation Management program may now also receive flight training at LETU's training facility at the McKinney airport in McKinney, TX.
Serious about following your passion in aviation? Want to learn from caring faculty with significant aviation experience in a world-class environment? LETU is the right place for you. Join us. Let us equip you to honor God as a competent aviation professional and leader. Sign up here for more information, to plan a visit, or to have an admissions representative call you.

Benefits of UK Bio-Tech Solicitors
A good chunk of bio-tech companies in Britain are currently facing the risk of closing given that the bio-tech industry in the UK is yet to fully pick up from the recent global economic meltdown. Foreclosures often happen due to a number of reasons, such as loss of employment and unexpected financial hardships. However, if you are facing closure, the good news is that there are lawyers in London like rhw.co.uk who specialize in foreclosure procedures and can help you prevent losing your business or defaulting on your staff salaries. Bio-tech lawyers basically look for alternative legal options that business owners can make use of towards refinancing or even carrying out a short sale of part of their business to ease them of their company debts.
As aforementioned, it's much advisable that you should have legal representation while dealing with mortgage lenders in instances of foreclosure. To begin with, foreclosure lawyers in London can be of immense benefit in reorganizing or modifying some terms of the home loan. Restructuring of loans is one great strategy whereby your attorney negotiates with the mortgage lenders for lower interest rates or extension of the time period of repayment so as to ease the burden on his client. Another popular strategy employed by lawyers to help their clients avoid foreclosure is through favourable repayment plans. This usually involves the attorney bargaining for friendlier repayment plans with the mortgage lender that reduce arrears or otherwise have them refinanced in a new loan. Lastly, your foreclosure lawyers can as well opt to seek for suspension of payments, a concept that is commonly referred to as forbearance. In seeking for forbearance, your lawyer will be simply bargaining with your home loan lender to come up with some time interval for suspension of payments, during which you can then reestablish yourself financially before resuming your payments. All these strategies are basically geared towards the sole objective of relieving you of a bit of the financial liability of the loan so that you can eventually get to retain your home.
While almost all homeowners often go in for the option of retaining their homes, sometimes the most ideal thing to do is to sell your home so as to be freed of the mortgage. A short sale is basically where a homeowner surrenders the ownership of his/her home and the mortgage lender accepts a settlement less than the outstanding amount as full repayment of the loan. Lawyers in London come handy in this course by working with reputable real estate agents to have the property put up for sale as well as by cutting a deal with the lender to take a lesser amount as full settlement. It is also important to note that a short sale of the property may cause a dent in your credit rating; nonetheless, this will still be less severe than the declines that come from foreclosures.
So, if you're facing an imminent foreclosure on your property, why not talk to reputable foreclosure lawyers in London to get to know the various legal options available to you? Such experienced attorneys often strive to ease their clients of strenuous mortgage plans and help them avoid losing their homes.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by MBurn25 Great value surf rod Although this Starr rod is not made in the USA like most of its higher priced counterparts, it is an excellent value buy for coastal surf fishing. I took this rod out a few weeks ago to do some striper fishing off of the NJ coast and it performed very well. It is rated up to 4 oz but had no problem handling a 6 oz piece of lead when launching chunk baits for stripers and blues. I would definitely recommend this rod to anyone looking for a quality medium weight surf rod for a reasonable price. October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by KennyfromTitus An awesome rod for surf fishing. This is the second one of these rods that I have bought for surf fishing and it is the best that I have ever had. The rod is long enough to cast your bait far from shore. The medium action makes it great to tell when you get a bite, have fun catching ordinary fish like a flounder or pompano, and strong enough to land a bull redfish or a nice size shark. The one that I have had for two years still looks like new. A great rod with a medium size reel and 15 lb. test line. You won't be disappointed. June 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lake1 Great surf rod I have been using Star rods for about 20 years. They have the best balance of quality and value. This rod performed great on the surf with good flex and sensitivity. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by CTbob Great rod for the price I've only had a chance to use this rod a couple of times since purchasing. I really like the feel and light weight of this 10' rod. It had good action and soft enough bend to whip out SP Minnows quite far. No problem handling Stripers, but not to sure on using this rod for chunking (with heavy lead). But from my experience with it, great rod for plugs and jigs. I'm going to buy a couple more for the fam, can't beat the price. May 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by bluefishbuster Excellent Rod for the Money In 2013 I did some cleaning and selling of older surf rods I had since the 1990s. I wanted to try and find a basic 8 footer that was light and had the perfect touch with a price under $100. 3 rods I compared were a Daiwa Emcast, Star Rods Aerial, and Sea Striker SS800. The Aerial is the one that made me very happy. May 2013 is when bigger striped bass started arriving in the local waters. I brought the Aerial rigged with a Penn Fierce 4000 and 30 pound Spiderwire Stealth and boy was I able to get those 1 ounce Rapalas and 2 ounce Cotton Cordells to those fish! March 2, 2014

1 cup
1 tablespoon
red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons
chopped fresh basil
2 cups
colored rotini pasta
1 cup
chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup
chopped yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup
sliced black olives
WARNING: DO NOT USE LOW FAT MAYONNAISE. I made it the first time with regular mayonnaise and it turned out to be the hit of the party! I couldn't find fresh basil so I even used dried. Then I decided to make it with low fat mayonnaise and it turned out horrible. Great recipe...
for all of the millions of pasta salad recipes out there, this is not one of the best. it contains a disgusting amount of mayonnaise, and tastes pretty boring and kind of gross. the best thing about it was all the pretty colors - i won't make this again.

Excellent. This is really a full 5 star recipe.... easy, pretty, and yummy. I followed the recipe, except I used white wine vinegar (since I was out of red). I'm perplexed as to why some reviewers thought there was too much mayo. I hate too much salad dressing (always order it on the side!), but this only had a light coating. I'm wondering whether those people didn't use enough pasta. It calls for 2 cups of DRY pasta, which is actually an entire box, I believe (the box I used had 16 oz dry rotelle). Anyway, it's the best pasta salad I've ever had!
I made this salad for a baby shower I recently had and received great reviews for it. I used bow-tie pasta and added in blanched broccoli florets, seedless cucumbers, red, yellow, and green peppers as well as fresh Roma tomatoes. For the dressing, I used 1 cup of mayonnaise but added in about 3/4-1 cup of prepared zesty Italian dressing, along with the suggested ingredients. I too was afraid of the large amount of mayonnaise. Regardless, everything tasted great and it got better each day it was left-over. I would make it again because it was pretty looking.
Great pasta salad - perfect for any BBQ! Pasta salads are so easy and no matter what you add to them as long as the veggies are fresh, you use a good quality dressing, and it's chilled - it'll be wonderful. So add what you like. This recipe is a great base. I used a whole bunch of cherry tomatoes that I cut in half and added some red and green pepper along with the rest of the ingredients. For the "dressing" I added a little dried Italian seasoning. I also topped it with some shredded Parmesan and Romano cheeses - delicious!
A little variation: Add red, orange and yellow bell pepper, diced; a can of drained pineapple chunks OR a cup of small seedless red grapes, halved. This adds a little sweet touch to the savory and despite how odd it sounds, is very good.
Black olives, sliced green olives with pimentos, diced sauteed or fresh zucchini or yellow squash... This is a versatile, easy and festive side dish for a large gathering.
This was a great recipe!! I cooked it last night for the first time, and my best friend's husband who normally doesn't like pasta salads loved it!! I added cubes of Mozzeralla cheese to it, and my friend suggested adding boiled eggs next time as well. I used dried basil and garlic and it was still wonderful:)
Pretty good salad...and everyone who tried this seemed to enjoy it. I'm not big on fresh basil so I could have done without it but the mayo/vinegar dressing was good. This did not have a lot of flavors in it. I used an orange bell pepper and added about 1/2 a jar of diced pimentos. I think the taste of the bell pepper dominated this dish. Hubby's not a pasta salad fan and my little ones didn't even try it. Probably won't make again unless the leftovers are to die for. Thanks for sharing.

The only thing Cam Wake will learn from watching film of Aldon Smith is how much better built that 49ers defense is compared to ours.
The only thing Cam Wake will learn from watching film of Aldon Smith is how much better built that 49ers defense is compared to ours.
If you placed Wake on that Niner defense, Wake would get the NFL record for most sacks in a season
The problem is Wake doesn't have near the supporting cast on the miami defense.
Wake is so important to this D, that if you took him out of the starting lineup, Miami's D would be ranked in the bottom-5 in the league. Seriously, the guy has disrupted the QB 75 times this year either with pressures, sacks, or QB hits, that leads the league, and that's while receiving routine double and triple teams. Take those pressures away with opposing QB's having all day to throw on every down, and we'd see 500 yards passing against miami every game on average, with this poor secondary, if Wake wasn't on the field.
All that attention Wake gets from offenses would be shuffled to other players on the D, stymying and shutting down other dolphin defenders.. with no one to rush the passer in Wake's place to top it off.
yeah, this defense would be hopeless without Wake. Absolutely hopeless. You can't say that if you took out a defensive player for the Niners. They'd still be bad a$$
Wake doesn't have the luxury,of being surrounded by beasts like the 'Niners have!!! One on One....Wake is as good if not better than most in our beloved NFL. It's just that with all of those double teams,he's very limited. I'm proud he's wearing our aqua/orange...easily my favorite player since Zach left!!!

Comments about Blueair 503 HEPASilent Home Air Purifier:
I have this purifier in the living room. I keep my house very clean and dust free so I didn't think that I will see much of a difference but I did. It does keeps the air so clean that when I cook you cannot even smell anything. I do not have a stuffy nose anymore or any other allergy symptoms. My dogs' allergies have also improved. I will buy a second one for my bedroom.
On the first two settings, it is very quiet, you cannot notice it. On the 3rd and 4th, the noise is noticeable but I have not had the need to use them.
It is not a cheap product but considering the quality of this product, I am content with the price. I recommend this product highly and with no reservations.
Brookstone was a pleasure to do business with as always.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
How do you prevent overheating with the SB900?
My question is, what measures can I take to prevent from overheating? I'm assuming I can't take multiple shots in mass succession. What IS the rate of pictures I can take? One every 30 seconds, one every minute, etc. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening?
(other info - I was using this with the d90)
How do you install recent firmware updates on SB900 if the cameras you own are not on list
If the firmware on your SB-900 is older than version 5.02 then you can use your D800 to do the update. Any DSLR that shows the "S" firmware option when a speedlight is attached can be used to do a Speedlight firmware update.
Firmware version 5.02 can be downloaded from this address:
SB-900 doesn´t overheat on D7000
Why does my SB_900AF Speedlight overheat all the time with my D40?
Nikon staff, please admit to the problem and fix it. I have 10 of these sitting on the shelf at my studio not being used because we cannot not depend on them. If you can't or won't fix the problem, bring back the SB-800.....call it an SB-850 and charge $50 more than the cost of an SB-900 and I will buy 10 right away.
Answer Title: SB-900 5.02 firmware update
Answer Link: http://support.nikonusa.com/app/ans...
I can use the SB-900 wirelessly with my D5000 without an additional command unit?
Can the firmware be updated in the SB-900 flash using a D7000 DSLR body?

Read stories of patients whose lives were enhanced by the skill and compassion of staff at Yale-New Haven Hospital. The report also includes a year-end message with highlights of the past fiscal year, annual financial and statistical information, lists of hospital and medical staff leadership and names of donors from the past year.
Staffed by highly trained medical professionals, SkyHealth provides lifesaving hospital to hospital air transportation for critically ill patients through Yale-New Haven Hospital's Y Access Line.
In October 2013, dozens of cancer survivors from Smilow Cancer Hospital, along with family, friends and caregivers, gathered on Water Street in New Haven to share in the spirit of community. The project they participated in was the painting of a mural. They battled some of the most difficult forms of cancer. Yet thanks to the amazing advances we have made in research and treatment, and through their own remarkable determination, they came together to beautify a neighborhood. And they delivered a powerful message: That cancer can be beaten. And that through science, compassion and the sheer belief in what is possible, the world is closer to free.

Sales Of Existing Homes At Highest Level In Nearly Two Years
By Mark Memmott
There were 4.3 percent more existing homes sold in January than in December, and the 4.57 million annual rate was the highest since May 2010, the National Association of Realtors reports.
Sales have gone up three of the past four months.
Reuters notes, however, that "the tenor of the report was weakened somewhat by a sharp downward revision to December's sales data to show only a 4.38 million-unit rate rather than the previously reported 4.61 million-unit pace."
Still, Bloomberg News says the report adds "to signs the housing market is regaining its footing."

The Kane girls' track and field team made their annual trip south to Saturday's Altoona Igloo Invitational. The Kane teams were scheduled to open their season on Tuesday, but the home meet against Northern Potter was postponed until this week, making Saturday the first outdoor competition of the year.
The Kane boys' track team started off the 2014 well with some solid performances at Saturday's Altoona Igloo Invitational. The team was led on the track by Chris Hunt, Nate Moore, Bailey Colson, Hunter Yasurek and Chris Udovich, according to coach Tom Cecchetti. All four Kane relay teams placed in the invitational.

Outside practices have been extremely limited this preseason for Kane coach Judy Kessler's softball team. With Mother Nature not cooperating and the Flickerwood field still covered in snow a week before the scheduled home opener, the Lady Wolves have been practicing in the gym and in the Kane High School parking lot trying to get prepared for the season. Despite the lack of outdoor playing time, coach Kessler said the girls are still excited for practice every day.
The Kane Lady Wolves track and field team placed second at last year's District 9 AA meet. While the team lost some very talented athletes to graduation, this year's team has head coach Jim Sirianni anxiously awaiting the start of the season and hoping to equal or better last season's runner-up finish.
Kane boys' track coach Tom Cecchetti welcomes back 17 letter-winners from last year's District 9 AA Championship squad. In addition to the letter-winners, the Wolves' veteran coach has 30 more boys that reported for the first practice of the season.

In a pinch, the versatile furniture piece will double as a captivating sculpture. The rest of the time it serves as a seat (top it with a cushion for comfort and flair), a side table (strong and balanced for holding the heaviest of lamps), or an ottoman—all while matching any other Bend seat. Made of smooth sandblasted iron that's been treated with an anti-rust zinc primer and a powder coating, the Drum is meant for both indoor and outdoor use.
To maximize the coating's lifespan, store this piece in a dry, well-ventilated place when not in use. Clean with a non-detergent soap, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive sponges or abrasive powders. If treated correctly the furniture should last for many years. The iron material can be repeatedly recycled: scrap from iron can be reheated and forged again and again into a solid mass.

Singapore - Restaurant Andre, Truly One of the World's Best Restaurants
Every now and again, we have a culinary experience which makes you thank whatever gods may be that we are alive, and for the veritable angel tending the stoves for our personal pleasure. As I get older and my tastebuds gets more jaded, these epiphanies get rarer and rarer. I had one recently at Restaurant André.
Despite a resumé with more macarons than a Ladurée boutique (Chiang counts as mentors the Pourcel Brothers, Joël Robuchon, Pierre Gagnaire and Michel Troisgros), André Chiang arrived in Singapore in 2008 without too much fanfare, and his anonymity was initially shielded under the banner of Jaan restaurant, the fine dining room at the Swissôtel the Stamford. But cream rises, and as rave reviews piled up, his masters relented in re-naming the restaurant "Jaan par André", an unprecedented move as the Jaan name was used at various of the Raffles Group's hotel restaurants across the world.
I loved the food from the early Chiang period, amongst which I recall a divine foie gras jelly with black truffle coulis, a grilled maguro o-toro with charcoal powder, and of course, his "Snickers" dessert, which reinvented itself about as often as Madonna did, and with just about as much success. But at the same time, some of his food was a conundrum to me, including a preserved lemon in wrap which was meant to symbolise something that escapes me even today. But back then, he was already chafing, and I recall a post-meal conversation during which he mentioned that working in a chain hotel didn't allow him the freedom that he craved.
So it was no surprise to me when Chiang left Jaan and opened Restaurant André in a heritage shophouse next door to the Majestic Hotel. Within six months of opening, the restaurant scraped in at No. 100 on the 2011/12 World's Best 50 list, and clambered to No.61 a year later.
When you have too much to say, I find it helps to reduce the report to basics, so here we are:
Wine: The wine list is presented in a little bound tome, with the first 20-odd pages being devoted to the restaurant's wine offering, composed entirely of organic and biodynamic wines. The prices are not cheap, with only two wines below $100 a bottle and three wines between $101 and $150.
Service: Service here is professional and knowledgeable, and given the complexity of the food, that is saying something. Maître d' Stepan Marhoul, sommelier Ken Hasegawa and co-owner Pam, a.k.a. Mrs André, are running the floor tonight. There is not a trace of snootiness, instead I find a genuine warmth and eagerness to please. OK, there was one chap who was rather aloof and gave the impression that he would rather not be serving us that night, but I am not going to fault the evening's service, which was otherwise superb, on one man's failings.
Food: André's cooking is an expression of his skills and his training. His much-vaunted Octaphilosophy is not so much a statement of intent as a statement of who he is as a person and a chef, and there rests the fine distinction between hubris and sincerity (I hurry to add that Chiang falls on the right side of that line). The eight spokes of Octaphilosophy each represent a savoury course, but with the addition of Japanese chef pâtissier Makito Hiratsuka, whose CV is almost as star-studded as his boss' (El Bulli, El Celler de Can Roca, Paco Torreblanca), desserts are now given an avant-garde twist.
Please note some of these photos (the good ones) are courtesy of my friend and passionate amateur photographer Ian Lee. I will put up the photos from his staged shooting once I get a moment.
Snackings 1 – Porcini Mushroom Crackers, Fish & Chips, Patatas Bravas, Chocolate & Garlic Soil
The soil thing is really on the verge of being overdone, but instead of trying to be cute and doing the hackneyed faux-cute baby vegetable thing, André disguises a little fish in potato strands to resemble a turnip, infuses punchy spice into a patatas bravas, and works mushroomy earthiness into a mushroom-shaped cracker. Delightful.
Snackings 2 – Chicken Masala Skin, Caramelised Olives
The skin was delightfully thin and crisp, to the extent that you couldn't really believe that you were eating chicken skin. It was quite indifferent flavour-wise, however. The olives were beautifully fruity and briny, with a sweet crunchy caramel crust you normally see on peanuts. Incidentally, the little olive sprig on the dish comes from the olive tree growing on the restaurant's forecourt.
Snackings 3 – Hamachi Sashimi Wrapped in Crispy Bread, Vanilla Popcorn
Playful, fresh, tasty, with a nice crunch from the bread and the popcorn. The vanilla is subtle, as it should be at this very early stage of the meal. My only gripe is that "snacking", that term popularised by those wonderfully wacky folk at El Bulli, is really a verb and not a noun, certainly not a plural noun. Yes, the grammar police is out in force today.
Pure – Seafood
The point of this course is to emphasise the purity of the seafood, without the use of any seasoning. Bouchot mussels, abalone, sweet prawn featured prominently. Excellent.
Bread Service
Homemade Whole Wheat Baguette is served with Echiré Butter. As my humourless friend tells me, Echiré is an A.O.C. butter, meaning, etc, etc. There is a way to share information without patronising your guests, and I don't think our friend has quite mastered it yet.
Salt – Gillardeau Oyster Tartare, Apple Foam
The brief description above does no justice to the dish. The apple foam is a semi-solid disc sheltering the tartare, and is studded with Granny Smith apple matchsticks, olive oil spherifications and oscietra caviar. Surrounding the dish are seaweed and an emulsion of oyster juices. Despite its name, this dish again contains no seasoning, and it relies on the salty flavour of its components (caviar, seaweed, oysters) to create the sensation of salt.
Artisan – Grilled Taiwanese Baby Sweet Corn, Roasted Salsify, Crème Anglaise with Smoked Eggplant
Before the corn is served, Pam walks up to our table with two pieces of corn husk on a platter. Yes, husk. We nibble at it, and the sweetness is simply extraordinary. Apparently, Chiang gets some artisan corn farmers in Taiwan to harvest their crop slightly later so they develop more ripeness and sugar, much as you would for a sweet wine, and brings them into Singapore in his suitcase. The corn itself is gorgeous, with crunch and sweetness (reminiscent of a Buddha's Fruit sweet soup with hints of tea and tannin) are wonderful, the grill adding notes of smoky complexity. You really don't need the black sesame salt on the side, such is the awesomeness (excuse the technical expression) of the corn.
South – Raw Fish, White Peach and Seaweed; Uni Risotto with Sea Bass and Tataki of Hamachi
This is Chiang's personal tribute to the South of France, where his formative years were spent under the tutelage of Jacques and Laurent Pourcel. To Chiang, South represents freshness (especially of the seafood from the Mediterranean, lightness and acidity). These two dishes are all of that and more. On the left, tomato sorbet, raw fish, hijiki seaweed and salty coral. On the right, risotto is al dente and rich with the creaminess of uni, and the fish are fresh and perfectly cooked.
Texture – Lobster, Airy Potato Gnocchi, Oscietra Caviar, Scallop (I think) Emulsion
Feathery-light is an adjective often used to laud gnocchi, which in the wrong hands can be a stodgy, chewy pillows tasting of not much in particular. I use it here in an almost literal sense, petite nuggets which dissolve in your mouth with little coaxing, leaving but the memory of pure potato and truffle flavour. It goes without saying that the lobster is handled immaculately; based on this meal, Chiang has got to be the best seafood cook outside of any Japanese restaurant, and I reckon he would give quite a few senseis a genuine run for their money also.
Interestingly, Pam came over and asked us to guess what the emulsion was, as a little game during the meal. I asked what the prize was, and she said she would give me a smile and a round of applause. Over the truffle-y hints of the gnocchi, I'm guessing it was probably scallop, but she never came back to tell us what the answer was.
Unique – Seared Rolls of Baby Kisu Fish (Japanese whiting) stuffed with chopped kisu, Artichoke Barigoule
This is the one preparation that didn't send me over the moon . I cannot fault the quality or execution of this dish; the barigoule had a nice richness and acidity but didn't really do much for the fish. The fish on the other hand, is an absolute stand-out, with brilliant flavour from the sear and the rare stuffing, basically a tartare, adding that very rare crunch you get from only the freshest fish.
Memory – Foie Gras Gelée, Black Truffle Coulis
Chiang invented this dish back in the 1990s with the Pourcels, and it has been on his menus ever since in some shape or form. I had it many times at Jaan and loved it always. The gelée seems warmer than from what I recall of the Jaan version, and the coulis seemed more runny and there's more of it; presumably the old thicker version was meant to envelope the morels. This version is lighter and more pared back and, I think, works better as part of a multi-course tasting as a result. Truffles are from Perigord, Marhoul tells me, and is a very rare (perhaps the only?) exception to Chiang's obsession with seasonality. As a signature dish, it needs to be on the menu all year, so during the off-season (like now), they are made from frozen specimens.
Terroir – Roasted Saddle and Loin of Wild Rabbit, Wild Asparagus, Wild Leek, Braised Mustard Seeds
A tribute to the French terroir. The greens are full of flavour and the rabbit is expertly handled. The table next door were served wild canard colvert, which I think I would have preferred, if only for variation as this menu did not make the final savoury progression to the stronger flavours of red meat (foie gras doesn't count, of course).
Optional Cheese Course – Three Cheeses from Bernard Antony, et ses accompagnements
One cow, one sheep, one goat, no choice. Quality is good, as it always is from Bernard Antony, and they are presented at the correct temperature. It is not the brightest moment during the meal, though, and I suspect that Chiang, despite his obvious Francophilia, is not particularly enamoured of cheese and does not want it to play a major role in proceedings. Indeed, the portions of cheese served here are very modest, as is the scope of the offer, particularly when compared to restaurants of similar calibre. Cushions of puff pastry and buckwheat crackers stand proudly on a bed of crushed unsalted peanuts.
Pre-Dessert No. 1 – Nitro-Frozen Pineapple with Citrus
Served on an artificial hedge (at least I think it was artificial), this was a frozen slug of fruity acidity, presumably meant to re-orient your palate after all those savoury courses. Pleasant enough.
Pre-Dessert No. 2 – Brioche, Miso Ice Cream, Edamame, Toasted Wheat
According to Marhoul, Hiratsuka likes to build a "bridge" between the savoury and the sweet, and he does this with uniquely Japanese ingredients such as Miyagi-mi miso in the ice-cream, and edamame for a little bittersweetness. The brioche is an amazing conveyance system for the umami knockout punch that is the miso ice-cream, and the savour and sweetness unfurl for long moments on your palate, much like a fine wine. The dessert of the night.
Pre-Dessert No. 3 – Tonka Bean, Fennel something...
I didn't quite get Hasegawa's description of this dish. In that very Japanese mode, this was another preparation designed to refresh your eyes and your palate. Very mild and pleasant.
Pre-Dessert No. 4 – Nitro Frozen Shaved Berries, Berry Ice Cream
Not my favourite, I must admit. Nitro-freezing is one of the culinary techniques du jour, but I think it interferes with our perception of the fruit's natural flavour, which it must at the ridiculously low temperature freeze that it induces, although a wince-inducing acidity is left intact! Colour and visual effect are striking, it must be said.
Dessert – Crystal Snickers 2012
This is clearly the work of a pastry master with some serious technique. The elements of the Snickers bar are all there, and the crystal has an intriguing saline hint. Full marks plus a bonus prize for presentation, but it didn't have the wholesome, gutsy all-American flavours of the Snickers desserts that Chiang used to present.
Petits Fours – Pâtes de Fruits, Popcorn, Lemon Madeleine, Oreo Macarons, Strawberry and Vanilla Marshmallow,
Good finish. Coffee here is very good, served in a unique cone-shaped cup designed (although not made) by Chiang. The vessel's handle is clearly pinched by hand to create its very bespoke design, but carrying it with the palms of your hand (unlike other ceramics, this material is insulated enough for you to do this) somehow reminds me of a late night bowl of hot chocolate, comforting and homely.
A very, very strong meal, in summary, undoubtedly one of (if not) the best I've had all year. That said, there is still room for improvement. I think dessert may need a slight adjustment; Hiratsuka appears to be enamoured of the avant-garde techniques espoused by his erstwhile employers at El Bulli and El Celler, but the way the dishes are currently served, I do not think that the flavours of the ingredients (however good they may inherently be) translate particularly well. There is also a little too much nitro-action going on for my liking, and the sweetness dial appears to have been turned down quite substantially. This last may well be deliberate, and while I'm not a sugar-hunter, I'm also not sure it is particularly apposite for a dessert that purports to be an elevated version of a Snickers bar. That said, Hiratsuka has a clear technical gift and I can't wait to see what he achieves when he finds his own voice; certainly, the miso ice-cream was one of the best desserts I've had all year.
Compared to my meals at Jaan, I think André has reached a new level of confidence and expression. Dishes that seemed pretentious have now been ditched, and his Octaphilosophy allows him to focus on the things that he really does well. While some online opinions decry the Octaphilosophy as unnecessary fluff, what is clear is that Chiang has no inflated ego, no overestimate of his worth, except an earnest desire to share his experiences and his cooking with you. He has a true connection with what he is putting on the plate, yet (or perhaps as a result?) he is still the same humble, happy guy that I first met back in 2009.
I think he well and truly deserves to return to the Best 50 list proper; I have had far worse (but still excellent, mind you) meals at restaurants far higher-ranked than this. Of course, taste is subjective, but when you are cooking at Chiang's level, sheer quality can, and often does, transcend personal taste.

Nice write-up, Julian - thanks! Am ashamed to admit that eventhough I'd tried the cooking of Jacques & Laurent Pourcel, Joël Robuchon, Pierre Gagnaire and Michel Troisgros, I'd not been to Restaurant Andre on my own backyard yet!
Munching on corn husk, eh - well, *that* is certainly a new one :-)
re: klyeoh
Thanks klyeoh for the kind comments.
I should add that dinner is a fixed price S$288++ (around US$275 nett), lunch is around half that.
re: Julian Teoh
Hi Julian/anyone else who may know -
Just wondering if you could tell me whether the price quoted is still correct, and what the lunch menu contains?
Also would anyone know if it is open on December 31/January 1??
Thanks in advance!
re: keedm002
Most top places in Singapore will charge top dollar for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day meals.
re: keedm002
You can check out the latest prices here:
Website says it's closed on public holidays, so Jan 1 may be out.
re: keedm002
The lunch menu was about 5 courses plus some amuse and a pre-dessert. It's almost Sgd 150 if not mistaken and a good introduction of Chiang's food if you're still not sure to splurge
I've not tried the dinner, but comparing my lunch at Andre vs dinner at current Jaan (with Chef Royer) - I would say both are about the same level. Andre's might be a bit more 'complicated'
But at the end of the day, "simpler" food at Waku Ghin or Robuchon worked better for me :) Some people expect or like more technical cooking (in addition to 'expensive' ingredients) whenever they eat at places that charge lots of $$$
re: mikey8811
Heh-heh, concepts are being copied by restaurants from each other these days. When I was last at the now-defunct Blu restaurant at the Shangri-la Hotel Singapore, the after-dinner petit fours that came with the coffee were also various items hanging on a bonsai tree brought to our table.
re: mikey8811
Mikey, true as what you say is, it was a very inconsequential part of the meal. There are far more egregious and broad-scope rip-offs going around, but then again, there is also a lot of interaction between chefs at this level across the world these days, with the complete expectation (I'm sure) that a few ideas will be used or otherwise reinterpreted in some way.
re: Julian Teoh
"... across the world these days..."
Well, they should do something about their website, which is useless, pretentious, and "kiasu"-imbued (a characterization from someone else, not me, on this board)
re: huiray
Huiray, I went back to the site after reading your post.
As I acknowledged above, there is a fine line between hubris and sincerity. Looking from the outside in, yes, the website appears to be orf. But after having eaten there and spoken to the staff, I disagree. I believe the sketches, prose, etc. are all Andre's personal work, so it is borne more out of a desire to share his experiences and thoughts, rather than trying to be a git.
I would also question whether it is useless. Yes there is no information on the menu (although the prices, etc. are now listed), but the dishes sometimes change from one table to another, like the "Terroir" course, and certainly from one day to another depending on what's available on the market. There's nothing worse than the website listing a menu, only for the guest to then find out that it's substantially different when he gets there. Sample dishes are also listed in the "Galerie" section to give a flavour of the kind of food they serve.
And as for the kiasu accusation, which arose in the context of "hiding one's specialities from public view", from what I was told, only one dish (Memory) remains a constant on the menu in any event. I repeat what I said in the paragraph above.
re: Julian Teoh
Did you notice Chef Chiang's pottery pieces - he makes them when he has some spare time.

Describing the food served at restaurant Andre, which some critics claim to be Singapore's best restaurant, was not an easy task for me. A couple of years ago, I was invited for lunch here and quite pleased with the food. Many dishes tend to have several ingredients in one plate, but the outcome generally did not disappoint. Still, I was not convinced to splurge for dinner – mixed feelings: the "hungry go where" review about Andre was quite negative and 2 of my friends said it's overrated. On the contrary, more and more food bloggers have shared their memorable experience here recently. Furthermore, the accolades from San Pellegrino, travel magazine or Miele guide simply never stopped flowing. Then, I decided that perhaps it's now (late Sep '14) the time to savor Andre Chiang's creations to the fullest.
Restaurant Andre is very well-known for its cooking philosophy called Octaphilosophy that I believe many people are already familiar with and it's explained in details in its own website. You will be served 8 dishes guided by 8 different concepts based on Andre's cooking experiences for more than 2 decades. Honestly, I could not really recall any dish that particularly stood out; many are more 'complicated' than dishes I had during lunch. Presentations were beautiful, preparations were rigorous, execution was good and taste was solid. Rather than my palate was spoiled with burst of delicious flavor dishes after dishes, for me, it's more of an experience and an appreciation towards Andre Chiang's highly technical skills and the kitchen's efforts to translate their chief's ideas. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the food – it's quite enjoyable as long as you come with an open mind. The overall experience was somewhat like my meal in Daniel Patterson's Coi. The whole experience is greater than the sum of its parts. That being said, it's not among my top 3 favorite places to dine in Singapore
In addition to 8 dishes from the Octaphilosophy, the kitchen threw in many items before and after that. At the beginning, there were 5-6 small dishes/snacks for guests to nibble. Towards the end, there were 3 desserts and petit fours. I thought Andre's ideas for snacking and several desserts were similar of Gagnaire's dining experience. Contrary to what many believe, I neither felt full nor overwhelmed at the end of my meal – just satiated. I skipped the bio-dynamic wine offered, and opted for the 'juice-pairing' (about 5-6 glasses) instead. It was not cheap, but quite interesting. The potato skin juice managed to bring down the foie gras' intensity while the black malt juice enhanced the flavor of pork belly dish. It's fun, but I think wine would still be a better option to go with the meal.
Bukit Pasoh has become an elite area for good restaurants in Singapore. Besides Andre, there are Oso, the clan, Hashi, oca grassa etc. Restaurant Andre is actually an old renovated 3-storey shophouse, located next to Majestic hotel. This place can only serve up to 30 people at the same time, so as expected you will have an intimate experience but slightly less of privacy. The decor is contemporary and stylish with some touch of classic feeling. Diner would probably think as though they eat at the Chef's house. It's probably 'correct' especially when Andre Chiang himself showed up at the end of the meal, visited every table and acted as gracious host. For someone as famous as Andre, I was a bit surprised that Chef Chiang was a very nice person and down to earth. He was listening to diners' comment attentively and answering any questions they had for him. The friendly hospitality was also reflected by the restaurant's staffs; they're professional and efficient – very proud of their job and their Chef patron. There's hardly any restaurant like this in Singapore. Some will like it, some will not; nevertheless it's something one perhaps should experience it once, in particular if he/she is around the area. I'm not really sure if it will be worth a (long distance) plane ride. In my case, it's still reasonable since it took me fewer than 3 hours to visit Singapore

re: Bu Pun Su
I find Andre's bread to be very good. I am not sure if we had the same Topinambour dish but I found it to be very good.
Out of curiosity, whats your top 3 fave in Singapore?
re: rolandyap
Yes, the bread was good but I only had one and didn't ask for more because I heard a few people at the other table said they're already full even when it's still 2/3 of the total courses
My top 3 so far are: Joel Robuchon restaurant, Waku Ghin and a toss-up between Ki-sho and Shinji
re: Bu Pun Su
The bread is baked as needed so if you want more need to wait quite a while (at least this used to be the case, I heard someone mention about a change but can't confirm).

Thursday, November 13, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (November 13, 2003) - Junior center Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) showed her home crowd just how much she improved in the off-season. However, her efforts were not enough as the East Tennessee State women's basketball team dropped a 78-72 decision on Thursday to Lees-McRae in an exhibition game from Brooks Gym. Mayes scored a game-high 26 points and led the Lady Bucs with six assists. She also tied for a team-high with six rebounds along with senior forward Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.). Trantham, who was limited to just 15 minutes due to foul trouble, pitched in 11 points prior to fouling out with 19 seconds remaining in the game. "I'm very pleased with the play of our posts," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp. "Tiffani played and outstanding game, but it's hard to beat anybody when you send them to line 34 times." In deed Trantham wasn't the only ETSU player to collect her fair share of fouls, and the Bobcats capitalized by hitting on over 80 percent of their free throw attempts to finish 28-of-34 from the charity stripe. Lindsey Pope paced Lees-McRae with 20 points, while Laura Parker was perfect from the line (8-of-8) and added 15 points. Deanna Lady tallied the night's lone double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Courtney Gogolinski contributed 10 points coming off the bench. ETSU, which played without preseason All-Southern Conference selection Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) who underwent minor knee surgery earlier in the week, started two freshmen in Brooke Wilhoit (Sevierville, Tenn.) and Holly Moring (Irmo, S.C.). Wilhoit scored five points in her debut, but Moring was held scoreless along with newcomer Dewanna Henderson (Oak Ridge, Tenn.). Anna Marie Ricciardi (Canfield, Ohio) made an immediate impact for the Lady Bucs, going 3-of-4 from the floor for six points in 14 minutes, as did fellow freshman Whitney Tate (Woodbury, Tenn.), who also scored six in just under 20 minutes on the court. Another pleasant surprise for ETSU was the return of Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.). Gibson red-shirted the 2003-04 season, but finished with eight points and hauled in five rebounds in her first game back. ETSU will be in action again on Sunday, Nov. 23, when the Lady Bucs tip-off against the National Women's Basketball League Select team. The game is schedule to begin at 2 p.m. in Brooks Gym. ETSU will open the regular season at Temple on Nov. 28, and will play its home opener on Nov. 13 against SoCon opponent UNC Greensboro. For a complete schedule, log on to www.ETSUBucs.com.

text: Guys the problem was he sent them all home early! He didn't even have them courtside at teh game wit the team. Danny Green is not an old veteran. There was no excuse for him not to be at Least courtside for the game. Pop is a great coach and I agree wit resting players but they played the wizards the game before I believe.. why not rest them for that game. He knew exactly what he was doing and was essentially conceding the last game of the road trip which unfortunately for him happend to be against the Miami Heat.

As the second part of this season gets underway at Spa, Nico Hulkenberg acknowledges that there is "a lot of stake" for Force India.
Losing ground to Williams ahead of the summer break, Force India dropped to fifth in the Championship, 37 points behind the Grove team.
And just one ahead of McLaren in the Constructors' standings, upon which the end of year financial prizes are based, the German admits there is a lot riding on the next few races.
He is, however, feeling positive about Force India's chances.
"I'm feeling upbeat," said the 26-year-old. "There's a lot at stake, but the team is up for the fight.
"We made the most of our opportunities in the first part of the season and we need to do the same in the final eight races.
"I expect a close battle in the Championship until the end of the season so we need to be consistently picking up good points."
Hulkenberg is hoping to do just that this weekend as he heads to one of his favourite tracks on the calendar, Spa-Francorchamps.
"It's an amazing track and one of my favourites - as it probably is for everybody on the grid. There are so many iconic corners, such as Eau Rouge and Pouhon, which feel very special in a Formula One car.
"For the high and medium speed corners you obviously need downforce, but it's a trade-off with top speed on the long straights so you need good efficiency."

Gallery: Lookotels Seeks to Roll Out Prefabricated Capsule Hotels in Sp...
Capsule hotels are all the rage in Japan, and now Lookotels is aiming to bring the prefabricated modular building trend to Spain. The company has envisioned a 100-room hotel composed of factory-built capsules that could be constructed in less than 6 months. Lookotels coined the term "lowxurious" to describe their budget hotels, which are energy-efficient, low-cost, and low-maintenance.
Lookotels consist of a series of prefabricated modular capsules that are connected together to form the entire hotel. Since they would be constructed off-site in a factory, overall build times and costs would be minimized and the quality and efficiency of construction would be maximized. The designers expect that a 100 room hotel could be built in less than 6 months.
Modular rooms would vary in size from 9.7 sq meters for a single up to 12.1 sq meters for a premium room. Each unit would be self-sufficient and include a sofa bed, TV, a desk, a chair, a WIFI connection, a telephone, air conditioning, a bathroom, and automated controls. The entire hotel is automated with self check-in and out kiosks, a built-in safety system, and a 24-hour customer service telephone line will keep guests comfortable. Staff requirements would be low, thus further reducing operational costs. Energy-efficient sustainable design also plays a huge role in the hotel — it has an expected energy savings of 40% compared to average hotels.
Lookotels is currently looking for investors and is hoping to roll out 10 of these modular prefab hotels in Spain before expanding around the world. Their goal is to produce a hotel that is simple, economical, and sustainable without compromising on quality.

Sadly capsule hotels like this haven't faired at all well in Japan.
The original Nakagin capsule hotel in Ginza, Tokyo failed as a hotel and quickly became residential and commercial apartments. These days it's in a very sad state of repair and is set to be demolished any time soon.
Where the "kapuseru hoteru" concept has been successful is with the small multi cubical capsule and almost all of these are refits using older traditional concrete commercial buildings (admittedly though the coffin sized capsules them selves being modular) more suited to crashing out after missing the last train than for any R&R use
