So much time and effort has been put into making this hotel perfect and inkeeping with the imagine it's looking to have. The staff, in their vintage dress are super helpful and the cleverly lit rooms are packed with freebies, gadgets and a comfortable bed which made the stay fantastic. Excellent CBD location too.
We were so impressed with the interior design and the comfort of the hotel, staffs are super friendly and we had a late check out which was fantastic and unusual for the Australian hotels!
The location smack in the middle of CBD is one of the best in the city. Walking distance to most places. Cool design, awesome elevators that customize the music to the number of people in the elevator. Comfortable beds and spacious (but very dark) room.
The interior of the hotel is super fun. The rooms are uniquely designed. The staff were super friendly. Location is great. Items left in the mini bar. Bar food and drinks were good.
I'd have to say the staff were lovely from the moment I made contact. Extremely profesional, polite, friendly and patient. I liked the interior design. Even though I loved the location of how it was central to everything, what I loved the most is that when I stepped into the hotel and off the busy street, it felt like I was a million miles away from civilisation and I could relax and unwind. Atmosphere of a movie set. It was a breath of fresh air to stay in a hotel that does not appear to look like 90% of most standard hotels. I stayed in a corner suite, although it was a little expensive…it was well worth it. Spacious room, with an amazing big round bathtub. The spaQ is also amazing, and the breakfast at Gowlings is incredible. I suggest having the gowlings breakfast with bacon, egg and sausage etc. Overall for me, the hotel has everything a girl could need. I felt like a princess staying at QT Hotel. I'll definitely be back again in the near future.
Absolutely everything. Down to the minute details, my stay was magical. The lighting! The in room coffee martinis! The fur throw! The sensual and incredibly soft bath robes! Not to mention the attentive (and attractive) beautifully uniformed staff ♥ THIS PLACE IS HEAVEN ♥
Excellent location, attentive and engaging staff, great bar and restaurant and an ambience that was intimate, warm and unique
Spacious, king room on 5th Floor. Delicious breakfast included in 3 night stay. Close to shops & transport. Loved the antiquity of the hotel as it had been the former Gowings Department store.
This was definitely high class accommodation. The staff were attentive from the lady at the door to reception. The room was like a wonderland.
My husband and I spent our short, 2 day honeymoon at the QT. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much for finding me a suit bag to take my wedding dress home in.
Very central location, rooms much more stylish than usual bland hotel fit-out, great service from the street to reception and on to bar/restaurant. Will stay again
Room was modern but with heaps of character- beautiful floorboards, furnishings and decorations, great bed and bath! Location was central which made it so easy to get around. Music in the lifts was an added bonus! Package with breakfast included was great value.
Nearly everything! Friendly, helpful and fun staff, rooms well designed and respect history of the building, restaurant was great with beautiful food, café was excellent value for money and fun vibe.
Absolutely everything…from the moment we were greeted by the porter to the time we got into the elevator (seriously couldve stayed in there all night and have my own dance party!!) . But then when the doors opened to the lobby, my face dropped, I could've cried! …It was the most spectacular lobby I'd ever seen. The aesthetics was like music to my soul! I wanted to live there for ever. Loved the quirkiness, the ecclectic decor, the fun yet luxurious feel it offered. And then we went to our room. I could not believe what I was walking into. Wow!!!! This time I think I did cry! It was my 40th birthday and and wanted to do it in style but didnt have the budget to live like the rich and fanous. Never did I imagine that we could feel like so indulged! It was luxurious and swanky and classy and fun. You guys nailed it in every detail…from staff to aesthetics it truly was the greatest hotel experience ever!!! Will be coming back for every birthday, anniversary and cheeky night out!!! Thank you again QT, I'm in love with you all
Love the location and the look and feel of the hotel. Great service as well with great ambiance. Great place to meet with business colleagues or friends!
Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff in a perfect location for walking the City. My daughter and I enjoyed our 2 night stay.
Quiet room in the middle of the city, very comfortable bed (I want one like that). Free wifi (many other hotels could learn something from that). Stylish decor, suitable to the period of the building. Very helpful staff. Lovely guest longe.
QT is funky and comfortable, the staff are great and add their own funky personalities to the whole experience. Loved our stay 🙂
Just the most perfect hotel. The rooms beautifully decorated with a fantastic attention to detail and loved the way the lifts selected what music to play! Bar and restaurant great too.
Great weekend spent in the City at QT'S staff were very friendly and courteous Rooms were very Funky and vey Comfortable
Loved the unique design of the rooms and the comfort. Concierge staff at the front door went out of their way to secure us cabs in the pouring rain.
From the moment we arrived we found QT quirky and inviting. Customer service was excellent as was the food and atmosphere. Furnishings and interior design was fantastic creating a wonderful ambience. We certainly hope to experience QT again. It proved to be the perfect parents escape!!
We loved everything about the QT Hotel. We didn't want to leave. We arrived mid morning and were surprised that we were able to go directly to our room. We had expected to store our bags and come back later. We were then told that we could have full internet access at no additional charge. We had selected breakfast daily as part of our QT experience and was pleasantly surprised when it was a la carte and we could order anything we liked. We also enjoyed the freshly made juice. A very nice touch. Free unlimited movies was another surprise and we just loved the music in the lift. All in all there were so many WOW factors that we didn't expect. The room and facilities were outstanding. Loved the decor, style and cleanliness. Looking forward to returning again soon.
Beautiful room well laid out and spacious extremely comfortable bed. Great music in lifts. Staff very friendly and helpful. Spa was excellent beautiful treatments lovely staff. Hotel convenient to shopping,movies, Darling Harbour
From the minute I was met in the downstairs foyer this was a luxurious and wonderful adventure. I loved everything about this hotel from the reception area (so comfy and interesting) to the bar, the restuarant, the guest area and honesty bar etc etc. I cant wait to stay there again. My room was just perfect and a delight to return to after being out in the city all day. This is how hotels should be, friendly and lux, sexy and interesting.
funky interior, very comfortable bed great service from room service staff. There was a packet of crisps in the mini bar that i opened and then realised that they had expired. i rang and they were replaced with 2 complimentary packets
A quirky, fun place to stay. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful, especially as we arrived early. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in in a hotel and the little touches in the room made for a memorable stay. Its in a great location for the Queen Victoria Building and Darling Harbour and only a short walk to the Botanical Gardens and Opera House.
QT was amazing! You feel like you've gone back to olden days Hollywood! Staff were amazing, facilities were top quality! Can't wait to go back!
The location was great, and we enjoyed a great breakfast in the morning at gowings. However, the room we stayed in felt a bit clostrophobic.
The room was very comfortable and the whole theming of the hotel was first class. Free wifi and movies were excellent perks.
Beautiful decor and interior design throughout the building. Full of character. The bed was amazing, felt like you were floating on clouds or whatever. Bathroom design was straight out of The Block.
Everything about our stay was fabulous from beginning to end, every little detail is thought of, all staff are inclusive, warm and friendly, services to our room were prompt and cleaning immaculate, all public spaces look fantastic and are user friendly, all food was at a high standard including the friendly and exacting service. Would return in a heartbeat.
From the moment we stepped out of the cab and were greeted by the door lady the experience was wonderful. Couldn't fault our stay. Restaurant and bars also excellent.
being right in the heart of the city, next to the fabulous shopping at Queen Victoria building, 2 mins to st James and town hall stations, – perfect for train transfer to airport – and 5 mins walk to darling harbour. (A longish walk to circular quay, but you could always catch train) Despite inner city location, magic for sleeping, my room was quiet, dark and the bed so comfortable! The decor was fun and imaginative; and in keeping with history – the building being the former Gowings department store – but fresh and fun – loved the mannequin leg stools in the bar, and the lift music that changed to appropriate song depending on how many people were in it. The food and service at Gowings restaurant were excellent. Staff were energetic, friendly and helpful. Wifi was free and worked.
I loved the theme and vibe of this hotel. From the moment I walked in I was instantly wowed from every space within the hotel. Quirky spaces to lounge and relax or the buzzing vibe of the hotel bar and restaurant. The room was equally impressive…a mix of old school luxury with a modern twist. Very impressed to have my own Expresso Martini mix beside the bed 🙂 The staff were very accommodating and quickly fixed a few issues that arose. The day spa addition to the booking was a welcome touch and the quality of this treatment was excellent.
Loved this place, the rooms are special, and thoughtfully put together, beds are to die for, little touches that make your stay just that bit different from other faceless hotels.
A totally unique and funky experience from the moment we got out of the cab. The attention to detail made it our best weekend get away for the longest I can remember!
The whole experience is fabulous. The staff are excellent, friendly and professional. Most comfortable bed ever – hated to leave!!!
Hotel was ideally located in city centre. Staff in hotel and restaurant were excellent (friendly and extremely helpful ) Restaurant and bar were very good .Room was quiet and comfortable, decor was appealing and different .
The thing that really blew me away about my stay at QT was how all of the staff seemed to really enjoy working there. That level of satisfaction just flows through to the customers making our stay so amazing. It will definitely be my first choice for stay in Sydney from now on.
the decor the staff the ambiance the coffee machine and milk frother the mini bar items the bed was super comfy the dressing gown
Cool interior – the best in Sydney! Private Awesome bathroom – bath and shower were divine Great food available at Gowings Bar & Grill Free coffee machine Good entertainment options
Very stylish, busy bar on the Friday night. Need to book restaurant ahead. Bring classy clothes – definitely one of Sydney's current fashionable hang outs. Very comfortable room and bathroom was quirky with its double shower heads.
When trying to organise what I'd like in the room the staff were friendly helpful patient and lovely to deal with.. Whilst on our stay tje room was better than what I expected and the comfort was excellent – real quality!
The uniqueness of the hotel. We felt like every time we walked through the doors we were walking into a different world. The photos from website matches to the reality of the hotel. The music in the lifts and the hand holding the numbers, all the details made our stay fun. And the BED… So comfortable like a cloud. Also the movie selection was very tasteful!
We loved the decor of the whole place , very luxe , so different to most hotels ,the room was beautiful .the bed was like sleeping on a cloud and was amazing to sleep in .we loved staying there and didn't t want to leave
Loved everything, from the changing music in the lift to the amazing room that awaits when you open the door. Thank you for a great stay, would definitely recommend.
The decor was amazing, I loved the feel of the place. The bedroom was lovely and the bar (food and drinks) were really nice. Staff were friendly and it's in a great location
Loved the robes ( could be bigger for men ) decor is stunning, in room dining was awesome, the shower was perfect, free movies and wifi is a perfect touch, the front door greetings by both men and women is a great touch and the barmen at the Parlour lane is one of the best
Bed was extremely comfortable. Front desk staff and staff on the entrance were fantastic. Couldn't do enough for us, just lovely..

Loved the staff at the door, valet. Amazing, it really made me feel like I had arrived somewhere remarkable. The bar and Restaurant choices were fantastic, well thought out menu's although not enough allergy info. Room was spectacular. Beautiful appointments, and very elegant rooms.
We loved the decor the friendliness the parking arrangement and the wall in reception which is indicative of The Gowings building with suitcases etc and the only other comment was the at the coffee bar in room there was no PowerPoint to plug milk fluffier into it …we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return Jeanne Walls
Everything !! This is an amazing hotel. The decor, staff, facilities, location, and overall atmosphere are amazing ! The photos on line are an accurate reflection of the property. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Great water pressure from both shower heads in the bathroom ! Mini bar not weighted so staff were happy to remove items so you can put your own things in the fridge. Full size Nespresso machine including the milk frother !!! Just love it at QT ! Loved the music in the lift and the concierge staff go above and beyond to get taxis and help you out ! Wish I could have stayed longer than 2 nights !
Loved the room, very spacious and I wish we had more time there. The coffee shop downstairs is fab. The hotel has a very different feel to the Gold Coast QT… More luxurious and mysterious but both hotels are great.
Fantastic! Love the decor – it took me to broadway and forgot I was in Sydney. The food at the restaurant was delicious – the breakfast eggs were perfect ! The facilities were 5 star!
Fantastic ambience. Quite unique decor for a Sydney hotel. Very helpful and courteous staff. Had an issue with wifi connection and the staff went out of their way to deal with the issue.
How unique it was … Staff were amazing I rang the day before asking if we could leave or luggage there as our flight got in early and understood cheak in was 12 or 2 … When we arrive the had noted it and had a room available straight away … Customer service at its best
It was my husbands birthday and we were sent up champagne and a beautiful cupcake- what a generous gift. It was so quiet considering the location. The bathroom products were Devine- not like any other hotel toiletries. Easy check in/ out- The bed was amazing- will be an experience we will do again soon!
Perfect location, vibrant bar with very professional & friendly staff. Great coffee downstairs. Stimulating and entertaining décor through-out.
Vibrant, exciting property that has resulted from imaginative eclectic development of this inner city property. To stay at QT is an exciting experience, decor is just marvellous. A place with style and pizzazz. Location is totally central to major shopping and short walk to Darling Harbour and Casino.
Wonderful service from the time we stepped through the front entrance! Upgraded to the Boardroom for our Anniversary! Great location and restaurant and bars fantastic. A must to visit.
Quirky luxe décor, it really felt like you were escaping the city and stepping into a fabulously unique and sensual setting. Kinda like Dita Von Teece's underwear draw (and I mean this as a compliment!).
We really enjoyed our stay. The room and facilities were great – the art deco theme was fun and the presentation all round was thoughtful instead of the usual. Staff were excellent, from their informative welcome through to their helpful service.
Absolutely everything about this hotel is amazing, the friendly staff, the exceptional decor, the delicious food, and the incredible attention to detail, this was the best stay I have ever had.
This was my 2nd stay at QT Sydney. I loved it just as much as my last stay. My room was very sexy. My request for a room with a Round Japanese bath and in the Gowing's Building was granted. Staff at the QT Sydney are all very friendly and go out of their way to help you. This is definitely the only place I will stay when I am in Sydney!!
Nicole at the Reservation Desk was very helpful with the booking and this lead to an extremely pleasant stay at every level.
The bed was heavenly – so comfortable. The staff so friendly and helpful. Very quiet breakfast menu was impressive We will recommend to our friends and stay again

Furnishings were really chic and modern. Room service was efficient and delicious. You could watch movies without extra cost.

Everything was perfect, what is not to like about the place! I loved My experience at QT and USpa. I would come back for more cause you simply just can't get enough of the place. Impossible! Thank you QT
The hotel was very stylish and quirky, lifts playing music based on number of passengers was hilarious. Room was corner suite and very spacious and well equipped. Resturaunt was fantastic excellent food, service and atmosphere, breakfast in cafe ground floor was brilliant.
One of the coolest urban hotels I've visited all around the world. Sexy and elegant, with striking public spaces. Everything is fresh with newest technologies, still maintaining the old charm of the building. Great in-house restaurants. Guests are met by porters dressed as if for a production of Cabaret – amazing! The most fun place to stay.

See the sport of surfing as it's never been captured before in John Florence and Blake Vincent
Kueny's second signature release, this time in association with the award-winning studio Brain Farm.

I should mention that I also had convinced myself that my (potential) husband was in Chicago. He was/is there waiting for someone just like me. He's randomly gonna bump into me while he's in a perfectly fitting peacoat, perfect jeans, fitted hat and Timbs. So obviously I was/am ready to get to him.
So here I am sleeping in my mom's childhood bedroom, spending my days blowing through my "savings" on chai lattes while I apply for jobs and spending my nights watching bravo and SWIPING!
Yes… SWIPING… yes, on Tinder.
The thing about Tinder is it's the epitome of instant gratification. And for an unemployed 20-something at the peak of her quarter life crisis anything that makes you feel wanted is worth a try.
I was so hesitant at first. It's the internet! ONLY weirdos need the internet to find dates. Even though I didn't feel like it at the time, I was still reminding myself that I was a smart, pretty, witty girl and I DID NOT need no damn dating app to find a man!
"Just start swiping!" said my friend that should be a tinder brand ambassador. NO! Really she's probably gone on at least 50-60 tinder dates. "It's fun! You have nothing to lose and plus you can't afford to take yourself out to eat."
With reassurance that "everyone" was swiping and the appeal of free food plus an excuse to put on makeup and real clothes was reason enough to do it.
What felt like 100,000 subpar conversations and 1 horrible awkward date later (he had on Gucci shoes and LV belt! Yuck!)
I finally matched with Handy.

The first athlete to fall foul of a clampdown on hi-tech swimsuits was the Swedish butterfly swimmer Therese Alshammer, who on Tuesday night in Sydney donned two suits and lost a world record in the process. The second swimmer to forget the regulations is unlikely to attract as much attention. Cockermouth's Craig Elliott was disqualified from the 100m breaststroke in the British championships here yesterday after finishing well down the field.
It took four hours for Swimming Australia to decide Alshammer had flouted the Fina regulation that states that swimwear must be restricted to one suit; it took less than four minutes for Elliott's disqualification to be announced in Sheffield.
Elliott, who wore briefs under his leggings, thought the rule did not apply as he was not wearing a second full-length suit. His coach, Paul Hogg, said: "Craig has never swum in just leggings before and before the race he felt they were rubbing, so he put on an old pair of training trunks. I am not very happy. He should have just swum in trunks. He is very upset."
Fina reacted after Speedo's manufacture of the LZR Racer swimsuit led to more than 100 world records being broken last year, some swimmers wearing multiple suits for extra buoyancy and speed. Swimming Australia has a modesty clause which allows briefs under skin-tight swimsuits. Britain has no such clause.
Jo Jackson, who broke the world record in the 400m freestyle on the opening night here, beating the double Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington, won the 200m freestyle on the third evening of competition, shaving 0.14sec off her British record to win in 1min 56.47sec.

Context. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have proven to be detectable to distances much larger than any other astrophysical object, providing the most effective way, complementing ordinary surveys of studying the high redshift universe. Aims. We present the results of an observational campaign devoted to the study of the high-z GRB 090205. Methods. We carried out optical/NIR spectroscopy and imaging of GRB 090205 with the ESO-VLT starting from hours after the event to several days later to detect the host galaxy. We compared the results obtained from our optical/NIR observations with the available Swift high-energy data of this burst. Results. Our observational campaign led to the detection of the optical afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 090205 and to the first measure of its redshift, z = 4.65. As in other high-z GRBs, GRB 090205 has a short duration in the rest frame with T90,rf = 1.6 s, which suggests that it might belong to the short GRB class. The X-ray afterglow of GRB 090205 has a complex and interesting behavior with a possible rebrightening at 500-1000 s from the trigger time and late flaring activity. Photometric observations of the GRB 090205 host galaxy imply that it is a starburst galaxy with a stellar population younger than ∼150 Myr. Moreover, the metallicity of Z > 0.27 ⊙ derived from the GRB afterglow spectrum is among the highest derived from GRB afterglow measurement at high-z, suggesting that the burst occurred in a rather enriched environment. Finally, a detailed analysis of the afterglow spectrum shows the existence of a line corresponding to Lyman-α emission at the redshift of the burst. GRB 090205 is thus hosted by a typical Lyman-α emitter (LAE) at z = 4.65. This makes the host galaxy of GRB 090205 the farthest GRB host galaxy, spectroscopically confirmed, detected to date. © 2010 ESO.

Background: Inactivity and overweight are major health concerns in children and adolescents with disabilities. Methods for the assessment of activity and energy expenditure may be affected negatively by the underlying disability, especially when motor function is impaired. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the SenseWear Armband in adolescents with cerebral palsy and hemiparesis. Methods: Ten volunteers (age: 13.4 ± 1.6 years) were equipped with SenseWear Armbands on the hemiparetic and nonhemiparetic side of the body. Energy expenditure was measured at rest and during treadmill exercise (speed range: 0.85 to 2.35 m/s). Indirect calorimetry served as independent reference method. Results: The mean error was between -0.6 and 0.8 kcal/min and there were no significant differences between SenseWear and indirect calorimetry at any speed. Differences between body sides in expenditure (mean: -0.2 to 0.0 kcal/min) and step count (mean: -3.4 to 9.7 steps/min) were not significant. Conclusions: The validity of the SenseWear Armband does not appear to be negatively affected by cerebral palsy during laboratory treadmill exercise. Future field studies are necessary to assess the validity and practicability of energy expenditure and physical activity assessment in children and adolescents with physical disabilities. © 2015 Human Kinetics, Inc.

In this paper, we propose a novel agent-based simulation modeling of human behaviors. A conceptual framework of human behavioral simulation is suggested using the ecological definition of affordances in order to mimic perception-based human actions interacting with the environment. A simulation example of a 'warehouse fire evacuation' is illustrated to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework. The perception-based human behaviors and planning algorithms are adapted and embedded within human agent models using the Static and Dynamic Floor Field Indicators, which represent the evacuee's prior knowledge of the floor layout and perceivable information of dynamic environmental changes, respectively. The proposed framework is expected to capture the natural manners in which humans participate in systems and enhance the simulation fidelity by incorporating cognitive intent into human behavior simulations. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

The most important determinant of prognosis and management of cancer is the presence or absence of metastasis [1]. The road to metastasis involves tumor cells to become detached from the primary tumor and travel in the blood to distant sites, causing secondary tumors. These tumor cells traveling in blood are termed Circulating tumor cells (CTC). Capture of CTC from whole blood has been a challenging feat. The fact that these CTC are few in number, to effectively and efficiently isolate them from whole blood can be thought of as looking for a needle in a haystack. Our microfilter technology exploits the use of size based capture of the larger CTC from the smaller white blood cells and components of whole blood. The effective capture potential of the microfilter platform has driven the area of CTC analysis into a new age of research in the field of cancer. The ability to finally analyze CTC at a molecular level, leads to a deeper understanding of metastatic process, while providing an opportunity to evaluate, monitor and manage treatment options as well as the adherent possibility of having an "on-chip" drug sensitivity assay for focused treatment options. We have demonstrated through clinical trials the ability to effectively identify, enumerate and characterize CTC based on immunfluorescence and FISH assays and provide a companion endpoint for monitoring and evaluating treatment management. Our work on viable CTC capture has resulted in successfully capturing and culturing CTC from blood in mouse models that have been inoculated with breast cancer cell lines to form primary and secondary metastatic cancer sites. The future potential within the microfilter technology to capture viable CTC for culture, will catapult therapeutic interventions to a new level of personalized medicine in cancer management. © 2013 IEEE.

We present smooth interpretation, a method to systematically approximate numerical imperative programs by smooth mathematical functions. This approximation facilitates the use of numerical search techniques like gradient descent for program analysis and synthesis. The method extends to programs the notion of Gaussian smoothing, a popular signal-processing technique that filters out noise and discontinuities from a signal by taking its convolution with a Gaussian function. In our setting, Gaussian smoothing executes a program according to a probabilistic semantics; the execution of program P on an input x after Gaussian smoothing can be summarized as follows: (1) Apply a Gaussian perturbation to x - the perturbed input is a random variable following a normal distribution with mean x. (2) Compute and return the expected output of P on this perturbed input. Computing the expectation explicitly would require the execution of P on all possible inputs, but smooth interpretation bypasses this requirement by using a form of symbolic execution to approximate the effect of Gaussian smoothing on P. The result is an efficient but approximate implementation of Gaussian smoothing of programs. Smooth interpretation has the effect of attenuating features of a program that impede numerical searches of its input space - for example, discontinuities resulting from conditional branches are replaced by continuous transitions. We apply smooth interpretation to the problem of synthesizing values of numerical control parameters in embedded control applications. This problem is naturally formulated as one of numerical optimization: the goal is to find parameter values that minimize the error between the resulting program and a programmer-provided behavioral specification. Solving this problem by directly applying numerical optimization techniques is often impractical due to the discontinuities in the error function. By eliminating these discontinuities, smooth interpretation makes it possible to search the parameter space efficiently by means of simple gradient descent. Our experiments demonstrate the value of this strategy in synthesizing parameters for several challenging programs, including models of an automated gear shift and a PID controller. © 2010 ACM.

Auxin plays a fundamental role in organogenesis in plants. Multiple pathways for auxin biosynthesis have been proposed, but none of the predicted pathways are completely understood. Here, we report the positional cloning and characterization of the vanishing tassel2 (vt2) gene of maize (Zea mays). Phylogenetic analyses indicate that vt2 is a co-ortholog of TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE OF ARABIDOPSIS1 (TAA1), which converts Trp to indole-3-pyruvic acid in one of four hypothesized Trp-dependent auxin biosynthesis pathways. Unlike single mutations in TAA1, which cause subtle morphological phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana, vt2 mutants have dramatic effects on vegetative and reproductive development. vt2 mutants share many similarities with sparse inflorescence1 (spi1) mutants in maize. spi1 is proposed to encode an enzyme in the tryptamine pathway for Trp-dependent auxin biosynthesis, although this biochemical activity has recently been questioned. Surprisingly, spi1 vt2 double mutants had only a slightly more severe phenotype than vt2 single mutants. Furthermore, both spi1 and vt2 single mutants exhibited a reduction in free auxin levels, but the spi1 vt2 double mutants did not have a further reduction compared with vt2 single mutants. Therefore, both spi1 and vt2 function in auxin biosynthesis in maize, possibly in the same pathway rather than independently as previously proposed.

Understanding tissue-related gene expression patterns can provide important insights into gene, tissue, and organ function. Transcriptome analyses often have focused on housekeeping or tissue-specific genes or on gene coexpression. However, by analyzing thousands of single-gene expression distributions in multiple tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana, rice (Oryza sativa), human (Homo sapiens), and mouse (Mus musculus), we found that these organisms primarily operate by gene sharing, a phenomenon where, in each organism, most genes exhibit a high expression level in a few key tissues. We designed an analytical pipeline to characterize this phenomenon and then derived Arabidopsis and human gene-sharing networks, in which tissues are connected solely based on the extent of shared preferentially expressed genes. The results show that tissues or cell types from the same organ system tend to group together to form network modules. Tissues that are in consecutive developmental stages or have common physiological functions are connected in these networks, revealing the importance of shared preferentially expressed genes in conferring specialized functions of each tissue type. The networks provide predictive power for each tissue type regarding gene functions of both known and heretofore unknown genes, as shown by the identification of four new genes with functions in guard cell and abscisic acid response. We provide a Web interface that enables, based on the extent of gene sharing, both prediction of tissue-related functions for any Arabidopsis gene of interest and predictions concerning the relatedness of tissues. Common gene-sharing patterns observed in the four model organisms suggest that gene sharing evolved as a fundamental organizing principle of gene expression in diverse multicellular eukaryotes.

The highly polymorphic S (for self-incompatibility) locus regulates self-incompatibility in Petunia inflata; the S-RNase regulates pistil specificity, and multiple S-locus F-box (SLF) genes regulate pollen specificity. The collaborative non-self recognition model predicts that, for any S-haplotype, an unknown number of SLFs collectively recognize all non-self S-RNases to mediate their ubiquitination and degradation. Using a gain-of-function assay, we examined the relationships between S2-SLF1 (for S2-allelic product of Type-1 SLF) and four S-RNases. The results suggest that S2-SLF1 interacts with S7- and S13-RNases, and the previously identified S1- and S3-RNases, but not with S5- or S11-RNase. An artificial microRNA expressed by the S2-SLF1 promoter, but not by the vegetative cell-specific promoter, Late Anther Tomato 52, suppressed expression of S2-SLF1 in S2 pollen, suggesting that SLF1 is specific to the generative cell. The S2 pollen with S2-SLF1 suppressed was compatible with S3-, S5-, S7-, S11-, and S13-carrying pistils, confirming that other SLF proteins are responsible for detoxifying S5- and S11-RNases and suggesting that S2-SLF1 is not the only SLF in S2 pollen that interacts with S3-, S7-, and S13-RNases. Petunia may have evolved at least two types of SLF proteins to detoxify any non-self S-RNase to minimize the deleterious effects of mutation in any SLF.

Twenty-one-nucleotide microRNAs (miRNAs) and 24-nucleotide Pol IV-dependent small interfering RNAs (p4-siRNAs) are the most abundant types of small RNAs in angiosperms. Some miRNAs are well conserved among different plant lineages, whereas others are less conserved, and it is not clear whether less-conserved miRNAs have the same functionality as the well conserved ones. p4-siRNAs are broadly produced in the Arabidopsis genome, sometimes from active hot spot loci, but it is unknown whether individual p4-siRNA hot spots are retained as hot spots between plant species. In this study, we compare small RNAs in two closely related species (Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata) and find that less-conserved miRNAs have high rates of divergence in MIRNA hairpin structures, mature miRNA sequences, and target-complementary sites in the other species. The fidelity of miRNA biogenesis from many less-conserved MIRNA hairpins frequently deteriorates in the sister species relative to the species of first discovery. We also observe that p4-siRNA occupied loci have a slight tendency to be retained as p4-siRNA loci between species, but the most active A. lyrata p4-siRNA hot spots are generally not syntenic to the most active p4-siRNA hot spots of A. thaliana. Altogether, our findings indicate that many MIRNAs and most p4-siRNA hot spots are rapidly changing and evolutionarily transient within the Arabidopsis genus.

- I don't need huge success with my "career" to feel fulfilled. I will work hard and I will learn more, but I do not aspire to be in charge of everything or really anything. I want to continue to work, maybe with a bit of added effort, to keep living life the way I am now. Sure, more money could be nice, but with more money comes more problems – mostly at work. I'm not saying I'll pass on a promotion or a better opportunity, but I know for damn sure I will not be any happier with more responsibility at work. My main goals: reduce commute, continue to earn the salary I have or more, and expand my knowledge base through classes and volunteer opportunities.
- I was researching the process of buying a house yesterday and it is truly crazy. I am very overwhelmed by what appears to be a lengthy, invasive, and confusing process. I've never wanted to own a home – maybe a cottage or cabin – but never a main dwelling. My plan has always been to have a small home/condo/apartment that was near work and to have a cottage/cabin/lot with camper close to nature. Now, I'm not exactly sure what I want – because camping is so much more versatile than owning a specific place for relaxing. Plus, I have access to several cabins and cottages through family and friends – that may be mine someday anyway. All I know, home buying scares me but the possibility of having a solid place to store my gear sounds good some days. For now, the rental life continues – to save more money (because you can't buy a house with what little I have set aside), to remain fluid in location possibilities, and to remain irresponsible when something really important breaks down.
- My Subaru Outback is by far the best car I've owned. It is smooth, comfortable, and has all sorts of tech to help keep me safe. It is great for commuting, but I know it aches (like I do) to get out and see the world a bit more. I have just over 7,000 miles on Black Beauty (like the horse from that movie) and they're MOSTLY from commuting the past three months. We did, finally, take it camping recently and to Arkansas for a quick friend visit. Sigh. I promise, little Black Beauty, that I'll give you more adventure soon. In November and December you'll get to see a little bit more of this country.
- Thinking about friendship over the years – the ebb and flow – and how it all works. I'm truly lucky to have some quality people in my life – here in Texas, back where I'm from in Michigan, and out in cyberspace via a chat about common interests. I've become an outspoken person – fighting for my rights, what I believe in, and for what I think is generally morally responsible. I am not sorry if people recoil in horror as I speak some truth or stand my ground. I used to agree with everyone and I was always trying to go with the flow. The flow isn't working right now. I'm not going to continue to pretend it's okay to support one thing if it doesn't support me – like the orange guy. I am not perfect. I've made terrible jokes, assumptions and been a stereotype myself. I'm working hard to carve a path for me, people like me, and others who want to have a similar life. I'm a work in progress and will continue to work on improving my word choices, joke subjects, and general conversational topics. I will continue to fight for the rights of people less fortunate than myself, so long as they want me on their side. I will continue to be unapologetic about speaking out or calling out bullshit. You can argue with me all you want, and if you have points I'll respect them, but I am not going to cave and agree if it does not align with my path.
- Moving to Texas in 2011 was a choice out of desperation. I moved to get a job, because I knew people that could get me a job. I moved from my shared apartment, with friends, to my family's home. They had a boat, let me live there and contribute what I could, and life was okay. I partied a lot, got that sweet job that paid more money than I ever dreamed… then got promoted to another job that paid EVEN MORE money. My buddy, and previous roommate, moved to Texas for a job too and we rented a house. I was reunited with the cats, friends, and had family – life seemed so good. I met my other half, made a couple of friends, but began to feel sad. The newness wore off – I missed my friends (many of at least 5 years) and my other family. I started to miss trees, nature, cool weather, and all that was happening back in Michigan. I left it all – so I could pay my student loans, buy a car that worked, and start a career. Was it worth the "trade" in the end? I am not sure. Would I trade the experience? No. Do I desire to get on with life and try something else? Yes. Do I think I'm ready to start over again? Hell yes, more fearless than I was in 2011.
- The DFW metro area is huge. I work 40 miles from work, but have to drive 60-90 minutes. My family lives in the same place they did when I moved here, 70 miles southwest of my current apartment and it takes about 75 minutes on a bad day. My friends live a mile from my family, in the same subdivision, and my other friends live 50 miles west of my apartment. NOTHING HERE IS CLOSE. The nearest, semi-nature unpaved path area is at least 25 minutes from my apartment. If I were to drive from my office to my family's house, it could take 150 minutes. I can remember complaining about traffic in Grand Rapids, where I used to live. It would take a whole 15-20 minutes to get to work while that same distance here takes at least 30. I took Grand Rapids for granted. I took Michigan and her natural beauty for granted. I'm never doing that again. We've been looking at cities to explore and move to, and I'm hoping we can find that "smaller city vibe with big city features while being near nature" mix that we want. Good examples include: Grand Rapids, MI; Minneapolis, MN; Portland, OR; and Santa Fe, NM. I'm sure there are plenty of other great places, but these pop in my brain. Someday, I'll live where there is seasonal snow again!

Wednesday Reflections
It's funny how things come into perspective after the fact… Also, I'm the worst when I comes to sticking to one train of thought.
- Throughout my childhood, we planted trees every year. I can remember planting hundreds of them – white pine, red pine, and blue spruce. We turned some fields into forests and planted a wall around our main yard. I'm thankful for this experience. While planting the trees wasn't always fun, I learned the importance of replenishing the land.
- Cutting, hauling, and stacking firewood was by far my least favorite chore. I was kept from my friends on the weekends and until I got a job, it was the way of the land every fall weekend. Even after getting a job, my dad would throw it through the chute to the basement and I'd have to stack it. Even during the week, we'd have to come home from school and stack it if he was on an off shift or on winter leave. Ah yes, firewood – it's true it warms you twice. I look back, and kind of wish I could go up and help him on the weekends now. It was a great way to sweat it out and being in the woods in the fall was the absolute best. Nothing beats the smell of fall in the woods. Second to the smell of fall is the smell of fresh cut wood – oh my gosh. Maybe someday I'll be back in Michigan and can help him out a bit.
- My first car was my mom's 1988 Plymouth Voyager. The doors didn't lock, you could start it without a key, and the heat didn't work. It only had an AM/FM radio and half the speakers were shot. BUT… It was mine to do with what I wanted – free and clear. The seats were comfy, there was PLENTY of space for stuff/people, and the windows rolled down – total win. In the winter, we just bundled up when driving – the heat kind of worked, not even sure what was really wrong with it. Surely I wanted a newer or more functional vehicle for my first one, but I didn't make enough money for that and hanging out with friends. I look back and realize it really wasn't so bad and it makes me appreciate every nice feature I have on my car today – that I pay out the ass for.
- As a kid, we never really went anywhere far or too adventurous for vacation. We camped, which was great, at nearby state parks with the major exception being going about six hours away one time. Without my grandparents, I wouldn't have visited any of Michigan's "major" cities or adventured through Ontario around Lake Superior. As a baby, I think my mom flew me to Texas with her to visit my Granny, but that's not a memory I have. This lack of adventure really sparked a major need to see the country in college – once I starting researching what was out there. I met my best friend, another person who hadn't really traveled the country, and we started road tripping. We followed our college football team to Alabama, we crossed the Mississippi together for the first time, we saw the Rockies for the first time, and saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time too. Once you start road tripping and seeing the amazing things this country has, you never want to stop. I never knew what I was missing as a kid but now I do and I work so I can travel.
- Back to the camping thing – so thankful we did it as a family. It was always overkill, though, with many coolers and grills and an abundance of crap. I learned the basics such as how to find good spots, how to build a fire, and that I loved hiking before I really knew it was a thing. From these family trips, I learned that less is more and now when I go I'm scaled way back to the essentials. No longer taking enough food for an army, cases of pop or water, and just enough gear.
- As much as I didn't appreciate the outdoors back then the way I do now, I am thankful for the lessons I was taught. I am good at identifying trees without a book, know a lot about plants, can usually figure out animal tracks, can build a trail, and so much more. Thanks parents, grandparents, and friends.
- I kind of have one regret: I didn't really enjoy Michigan enough when I lived there. I try not to beat myself up too much over this, but some days it's difficult not to. I didn't hike enough, didn't camp enough, didn't enjoy the outdoors enough. It was all at my fingertips, and I didn't utilize it enough. I sit here, in this Dallas suburb office, after commuting from my suburb apartment and kick myself every damn day for not taking it all in more than I did. I know, my retail schedule was nuts when I was there – but if I had truly been motivated I could have gone hiking before an evening shift, after a morning shift, or enjoyed a people free mid-week hike on a random day off. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Michigan, I visited many places and did many things… This "regret" really led me to the biggest lesson, and something I've been really trying to do this year – LOVE WHERE YOU ARE and take advantage of everything you can. Yeah, DFW kind of sucks, but I'm fully utilizing nearby parks, state parks, and national parks. I am really living it up in nearby national forests and lakes. Yeah, things may take some driving and may not be exactly what I love to look at, but it's so much better here now that I'm truly diving in and utilizing what exists around me. Yeah, sometimes my go-to parks are full of people or have a bike race, but overall life is better now that I'm at least trying to get out.
Moving forward, my wants and needs are more clear than ever. Now, to get to where I want to be.
Happy Friday & October.
Fall and winter are my favorite time of year since moving to Texas. I don't mind spring, because I love the rainy season, but I love the light that fall and winter have and I don't mind the shorter days.
Some goals for October:
- To get somewhere (Oklahoma, Arkansas, East Texas, San Antonio, etc.) with changing fall color and enjoy a few minutes of it. If not the places in parenthesis, maybe even all the way up to Washington – still trying to work that into a reality.
- Since I can't seem to give up the things I love in terms of food, I am setting a portion control goal. Despite hiking a lot, I'm not really staying very healthy. Less food, more exercise between hikes.
- Continue to work on my GIS skills – I have a few courses left for refreshing, hopefully I can get my ESRI program to work.
- I'm going to find a place to volunteer my time – probably with trail building.
- I'm going to take a few classes at REI to learn more about some outdoor stuff.
You can always find somewhere to hike.
Earlier this week, one of my favorite people that I've never met based solely on photos and brief interactions, posted a lovely photo and some words on Twitter basically saying that despite not being able to get to the mountains due to life being busy at times, he was thankful to have local trails and preserves to enjoy between mountain visits. And damn, if that doesn't speak to my life goal, I don't know what does. Never stop exploring, appreciate what is around you, make the best of every situation, and learn to love where you live.
Where I live in Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth metro area) isn't the prettiest, to me, in terms of natural landscapes but it does have a few redeeming qualities. First, I'm thankful for local parks in the DFW metro area – they serve the purpose of partially escaping and disconnecting. Second, I'm fortunate enough to have several worthwhile places that are within a few hours of the metro area by car – within Texas, up to Oklahoma, and up and over to Arkansas. Third, If I'm feeling adventurous, I am lucky to have an array of majestic places within 12 hours by car that include mountains, forests, desert landscapes, and flowing water. DFW is a hub for American, which gets me across this great nation at a reasonable rate with many nonstop options. Dallas is a hub for Southwest, which includes two checked bags for gear, and they're always offering reasonable rates to many of my favorite destinations. I feel lucky. While Texas isn't my favorite place (and hopefully not my final destination), I am going to continue to embrace the positive aspects and make the most of it while I'm here.
My journey on 52 Hikes With Mike has been about embracing where I live and taking as much of it in as I can. By participating in the hiking challenge, I managed to branch out and actually learn about the outdoor culture in my area and beyond. It has awakened a part of me that went dormant years ago and connected me with many like-minded people in just the nine short months so far. Here's to many more miles and seeing more trees than people!
Same story, different day.
Big shout out to a few coworkers and Instagram friends that are inspiring.
I've been maintaining my weight over the past few weeks – kind of. I haven't been exercising very much, and I'm kind of a human garbage disposal these days when it comes to food. We had set up a challenge at work and I've been bombing at it on the daily. I'm always making excuses – it's too hot to exercise, I'm eating out with friends, I'm at a family barbecue, it's vacation, I didn't go grocery shopping, etc. – as to why I can't eat well or exercise. They are all bullshit, I know this, but this is the first time in a while I'm admitting it again. I'm supposed to be on week five of 'Couch 2 5K' training and I'm not. Tonight I fly to Portland, OR to join my other half and tomorrow we begin our drive home, so I'm sure it'll be a mixed bag of junk/fast food and a lot of inactivity. I'm hoping to get a couple of miles in at the Redwoods and then a little in at Sequoia on Saturday. I'm hoping I can focus my motivation next week and get back on track. I'm hoping I can use the inspiration I find in others and the beauty of what lies ahead (Redwoods, Sequoia, Utah in a week, etc) to ignite the flame.
I need to get back to weekly meal planning and prepping – which means regular grocery shopping. I need to stop restrictive diets such as low-carb – which means increasing veg and still avoiding refined crap. I need to eat more of a balance and I need to eat in moderation. I need to continue my daily water intake, and add more. I need to limit booze and diet soda, as well as calming my coffee consumption. I need to go to sleep earlier and build a consistent schedule – and shut my brain off to fall asleep. I need to hike further on the weekend and build up my endurance – and exercise more between weekly hikes. I know what I need to do.
I've covered this before, many times, and I always hope it'll be the last time I have to write a stupid blog post – either in private or public – about this lame ass struggle. I go through phases in regards to how healthful I am. I go on about my health or happiness, the vanity, or the things I want to do that require me to be a little more in shape and a little less sluggish. I know what I need to do, but I always give up before I do it. I'm a planner by nature, so one would think creating a plan and sticking to it would be right up my alley, but I give up too easily. I can plan all day every day, but I rarely energize enough to follow through with the plan.
Blah, blah, blah. I know, here we go again. I need to get over that I don't live somewhere beautiful. I need to move past that I will have a slow transition and results take time to show up. I need to accept that I'm not currently on a healthy path and find the willpower to change direction.
Tuesday is the new Wednesday
…or Monday part II? A little of both. Tomorrow I fly to Portland, Oregon to meet up with my other half and drive back to Texas. We are going to the Redwoods, Sequoia, and hopefully Death Valley on the way home.
The Redwoods make me happy. To spend a few hours under the giants, hiking about will be good for the soul. I'm excited for Sequoia because we are going to see a few of the main events. I have driven through the National Forest before via the Kern River Valley out of Bakersfield.
I'm hoping to get a good 1-2 hour hike in Redwoods on Thursday and at least the same at Sequoia on Friday. Saturday will be spent driving nonstop until we can't anymore in hopes of making to at least Amarillo, TX if not home.
This trip is simple, and mostly just a more scenic drive home. I would have liked to hike at Crater Lake on Thursday, but the wildfires mostly crushed that plan. I'll take the Redwoods any day, really, so I am not complaining. I honestly think of the Redwoods often, as if they were a part of the family that I miss.
Road trips in general have always been my greatest source of joy. At first, it looked as though I would not be flying to Portland to drive back and that was kind of depressing for both of us. The vacation gods came through, and I found out I had more time!
I hope you all have a good week – don't let all the news stories crush you completely.
Full stop.
Today started with a Starbucks mobile app order for TWO venti iced Americanos.
Woah, vacation is over and that is poopy. I spent the past 11ish days in Alaska and I miss it already. The air was so fresh, the trees were so green, and the people were so fit. Talk about motivation – these people hiking to glaciers and on trails were inspiring. I'll do a full write up of our adventures in Alaska in a few days, but I'll sum it up as being one of my favorite places ever.
We boarded a plane on July 4 at 11pm local time, which is 3 hours behind Dallas time, and arrived via two flights to Dallas at noon July 5. Yesterday was a blur. I must have snuggled the cats for a while and fell asleep. We went to get Chewy the dog, and boy did I miss his rotund body. So happy to be reunited with the pets and so happy that the cats did not go crazy and ruin anything while we were gone. We are lucky dudes to have friends to watch the dog and check in on the cats – but I think we'll start using services to relieve them of the burden.
Today, I'll be working one of two days this week and let me tell you – it's weird. My brain can't really comprehend that I'm at work and my body just wants to be in bed. I slept weird yesterday due to the overnight flights and such, so I was up at 3 and kind in and out since then until it was time to shower and go. My work pants are a little tight, despite increased activities over the vacation – the food was just too good I guess.
Hope you all have a great week(end) ahead.

What is the best time of the year to visit Encore at Wynn Las Vegas?
Answers from Our Experts (1)
Blue skies and sunshine really bring out the best of what Las Vegas has to offer, and that goes for Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, too. We recommend booking your stay at the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel in the early summer or the spring. The pools at both Encore and its older sister hotel Wynn Las Vegas are quintessential in appearance and functionality. They're landscaped well and offer serious perks including adjoining nightclubs such as XS and day clubs like Encore Beach Club. You can only enjoy the pools when the weather is nice, of course, so you're really missing out in the wintertime.
We say the early summer because you can avoid the scorching sun that otherwise starts to melt everyone in its path come mid-summer. But even if you do decide to battle the mid-summer heat, there are plenty of boutiques, restaurants, clubs and casinos to keep you occupied indoors — and the air conditioning will undoubtedly be cranked. Springtime in Las Vegas is pleasant and sunny without being too overbearing, which is perfect for sunbathing and poolside clubbing.

Israel Ranks 6th in World Healthcare Survey: Bloomberg Poll Reports High Israeli Health Status
Israel Ranks 6th in World Healthcare Survey: Bloomberg Poll Reports High Israeli Health Status
According to a recent Bloomberg survey of 145 countries, Israel ranked 6th in the quality of healthcare it offers its population along with their general health status. The report was based on information by the World Bank, the UN the World Health Organization, and studied life expectancy, mortality rate, and obesity levels among other factors. Singapore came in first, followed by Italy, Australia, Switzerland and Japan. And it appears in the survey that a country like Israel, which is constantly dealing with budget cuts due to large sums of money allocated to its defense and security, managed to surpass Western countries like the US, Canada, and such others. Even though Israelis ranked high on their overall health score, it is a recognized concern that Israel's hospitals are crowded, and that there is a shortage of doctors and medical staff. However, in contrast to various developed countries, medical care in Israel is funded by the government for all citizens, regardless of their financial means. And life expectancy is one of the longest in the world. Sivan Raviv, JN1, Israel.

It's that time of the year again! On the German forum Imperium der Steine, the MOC Olympics have started once more with what looks like the most amazing edition yet. I know… it has been going on for a couple of weeks already. Sadly, things got in the way of blogging. Therefore, in the next couple of days you'll see quite a few somewhat older builds as I try to work away the backlog. I'm pretty sure that won't make you appreciate them less though;
The MOC Olympics revolves around a bracket system. In each round, two builders face each other with builds revolving around some unique theme. This can be anything from recreating a famous scene to building an Architecture-style Star Wars set. Legopard was challenged to incorporate Star Wars into a completely new theme. In response, he built something quite new: actual, ancient Star Wars Olympics. When watching Ben Hur lately, it already struck me how much the pod race resembled the iconic chariot racing scene. Here we see a similar scene. I love how perfectly the two concepts have been blended. The chariots themselves actually succeed in not looking like fancy technology, but rather like overly dressed wagons, adding to the 'authentic' feel. I love how Vader's one is so tank-like, while Luke's one is light and agile: perfect translations of the concepts. Furthermore, the building is simple but great, elegant and detailed where needed, with a subtle roof and nice steps. And the natural, interesting terrain and the lonely tree give it an amazing atmosphere. You can almost see past the deficiencies of the bricks and see the horses running not quite at light speed but almost, and the dust sweeping up high, and spears perfectly taking over the job of laserblasts. I just don't want to think about what the proton torpedo's would look like… But you're free to let your imagination go wild: park your chariot here for inspiration.
Vauban also had to put his imagination to work when he received his theme: Steampunk. We saw many great Steampunk builds last year with FBTB's MOC Madness, so it must have been quite a challenge to come up with something new and wonderful. But Vauban delivered. He cleverly recreated the opening scene from A New Hope. The Tantive IV is nice and cute in it's own right, with exactly the right parts to give it texture and a Steampunk vibe. The Imperial Cloud Destroyer really is the pride of the Armada, with the strong design, proud smokestacks, powerful engines. And that smoothly curved hull is just so delicious… The greebles on the side are a nice touch as well, appropriate as they are here. To make it all even better, the builder set it all on a beautiful display, with yet another impressive desert landscape and some amazing micro modelling. And that's not all… the sides are stuffed with all kinds of scenes from Episode IV, well, kind of. The creativity and nice building simply has no end! It's a stunning piece. It would look perfectly in place in any Victorian room you might have in your house. But if you don't have that luxury, don't worry. You can gaze at the masterpiece right here.

Changos Burrito Bar – Burrito fever has definitely hit Britain this past year. Everyone has been meeting for a quick burrito lunch and hosting tequila induced Mexican dinner parties. Therefore, you can't move for Mexican restaurants popping up all over the city making it difficult to spot the good ones. However, the new burrito bar in town has got taste buds going and queues out the door. Part of Changos Burrito Bar's charm is its décor, funky colourful patterns, lucha libre murals and a quirky playlist. What tops off this delightful restaurant is you can enjoy a burrito for as little as £3.99. I think thats called a win win situation : ww.changos.co.uk
