Here is the latest Police Blotter from our neighbors to the east:
Chief's Weekly Update
City of Lewisville—Police Department
Week of September 28, 2009 – October 4, 2009
Two Fires Set at School
Last week, on two separate occasions, someone set fire to the playground at College Street Elementary School (350 West College Street). The first incident took place on September 29th around 11:00 p.m. Officer Martinez arrived on scene quickly and was able to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. The next night, just after midnight, the Fire Department responded to another fire at the school. This second fire was set next to the building, scorching the building's brick. There were no injuries in either fire. The Fire Department continues to investigate.
Man Commits Assault at Central Park
On October 3rd, around 4:00 p.m., two girls (ages 12 and 3) walked into the women's restroom at Central Park (1899 Edmonds Lane). They discovered a man in the restroom. The man touched the 3 year-old's hair and arm before the 12 year-old was able to grab her and run from the restroom. Fortunately, neither child was assaulted beyond the man touching the three year-old. The man is described as an older white male with gray hair. He is approximately 5' 8†and weighs around 170 pounds. He was wearing a brown shirt and blue jeans at the time of the offense. He was seen with a younger looking Hispanic male described as 5' 6†and 160 pounds. Both men left in an early-nineties model Cadillac with a gray body and a black roof. It was last seen driving southbound on Edmonds Lane.
Crash Disrupts Utilities
Westbound traffic in the 300 block of Bellaire Boulevard was shut down for several hours on Sunday, October 5th. An intoxicated driver struck a utility pole around 4:30 p.m. The crash brought down one utility pole, causing the power lines to dangle only 10 to 12 feet above the roadway. The power company secured the power line and the road was re-opened around 7:00 p.m. The driver was not seriously injured and was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated.
Vehicle Burglary Arrest
On September 1st, Vista Ridge Mall Security observed an unknown suspect break into a vehicle in the parking lot. Mall Security was able to obtain the license plate number on the suspect vehicle as it fled the area. Detective Bryan Smith was assigned this case for investigation. Detective Smith located the vehicle in Dallas. Smith interviewed several people at the residence where the vehicle was located and he was able to obtain the identity of a possible suspect. Detective Smith reviewed video evidence of the crime and was able to identify this possible suspect as the person committing the burglary. Detective Smith obtained a warrant for the 26 year-old Dallas man for burglary of a vehicle. Arlington Police arrested the suspect. The suspect also had a warrant from another agency stemming from a vehicle burglary.
Arrest Made in Roofing Scam
On August 8th, a Lewisville resident paid a subject $2,000 to replace his roof. The suspect partially removed the roof and left for the day. Neither the suspect nor his crew returned to finish the work. Detective Brad Kenney was assigned to investigate the case. The victim identified the suspect out of photo lineup and Detective Kenney obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect for felony theft.
On October 1st, this suspect was located by another person he had victimized in the same manner. The victim confronted the suspect about the theft and ultimately struck the suspect with a golf club. The suspect was transported to the hospital due to his injuries. After his release from the hospital, he was arrested for the outstanding warrant.
A third victim has reported being swindled by the same suspect. A warrant has been issued for this offense. The suspect posted bail and was released before the warrant could be served.

No Man Is an Island, But the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Is
June 4, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
Everyone loves a beach resort, and the shallow waters of the Maldives make it possible to find a truly singular experience. Because the oceans are uniquely calm, resorts like the Waldorf Astoria have built out entire bungalows just above the lapping waves. From your residence, you'll have a truly panoramic view of the surrounding waters. Among a series of already outstanding resorts, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives sets itself apart even from that distinguished crowd. I'd hate to turn this into an apotheosis of the Waldorf, but it's hard not to exalt the virtues of a resort that is its own island. The seclusion of having your own bungalow on a private island is truly unmatched.
When a resort is an island, it is doubly important that it has the luxurious facilities to accommodate your every desire. While fine dining and a top-notch spa are the unmistakable call signs of any luxury resort, the Waldorf Astoria has taken them to another level. Their world-class Modun Spa is organized around the concept of a winding journey towards self-discovery and holistic rejuvenation with the spa facilities laid out along a twisting path that leads you through a natural progression of treatment. Dine on incredibly sumptuous cuisine either at one of the many restaurants and bars or bring that very same experience to the comfort and privacy of your own villa. Children are cared for in the Kids' Club, leaving the adults free to experience the unmatched luxury. If I wanted the experience of the unmistakable Maldivian bungalow, I would be remiss if I didn't seriously consider the Waldorf Astoria Maldives as my destination of choice.
Nothing Evil about the Villingili Resort and Spa Maldives
March 20, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
The Maldives are well-known for being one of the few places in the world you can find overwater bungalows, largely because the water is calm and pristine enough to support the fragile construction they require. But in the land of floating villas, the Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa Maldives is looking to make a name for itself in another way. Rather than send their villas out into the water, they've taken to the foliage, their tree house villas nestled in the beachfront palm fronds that every child learns to draw at the age of 5 as foreshadowing of their future desire to stay at a place like this.
The resort plays home to all the features that the luxury traveler has come to expect. Khazaanaaga, a divided, on-site restaurants give you options from the South China Sea, Arabian Gulf, and Indian Ocean, and Javvu gives you the more Western choice and cafe-style dining during the day. CHI, the Spa at Shangri-La offers every treatment you could ever want while relaxing on a sandy beachfront and is inspired by traditional Chinese and Himalayan spiritual and physical wellness. A children's adventure zone, two tennis courts, and an Eco centre that allows you to explore the local flora and fauna even after you've come back from any of 25 dive sites, including a British shipwreck. The Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa is just about everything I'm looking for in a beachfront property.

Carmen Ejogo-- The "Sparkle" Interview
Interview with Kam Williams
Carmen Ejogo was born in London on New Year's Day 1974 to Elizabeth Douglas and Charles Ejogo, a couple of Scottish and Nigerian extraction, respectively. She made her U.S. film debut opposite Eddie Murphy playing Veronica 'Ronnie' Tate in the 1997 comedy Metro.
Carmen then went on to star in films such as Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost, What's the Worst that Could Happen? opposite Martin Lawrence, Neil Jordan's The Brave One opposite Terrence Howard and Jodie Foster, Gavin O'Connor's Pride and Glory opposite Ed Norton, and in Sam Mendes' 2009 indie hit Away We Go opposite Maya Rudolph. Ejogo can next be seen starring opposite Tyler Perry in the feature I, Alex Cross, a psychological thriller based on the James Patterson novels about Washington DC detective Alex Cross.
Additionally, Ejogo garnered the attention of television critics and audiences alike for her portrayal of Sally Hemmings, the title character in the 2000 CBS miniseries Sally Hemmings: An American Scandal. Later, Ejogo starred as Coretta Scott King in HBO's critically acclaimed film Boycott opposite Jeffrey Wright and Terrence Howard.
Her role earned her a 2001 NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Actress in a TV film or miniseries. In 2005, Ejogo starred in HBO's Emmy nominated Lackawanna Blues. Her role as Alean earned her a second Image Award nomination. Ejogo will next star as FBI agent Baca Sunjata in the highly-anticipated ABC television series Zero Hour opposite Anthony Edwards.
Carmen and her husband, actor Jeffrey Wright, live in Brooklyn which is where they are raising their two children. Here's she talks about her latest role as Sister in Sparkle opposite Jordin Sparks and the late Whitney Houston.
Kam Williams: Hi Carmen, thanks so much for the time. I really appreciate it.
Carmen Ejogo: Thank you.
KW: My brother Larry is the librarian at a Friends school that I think you're very familiar with.
CE: Oh, wow! That's so cool! That's where one of my kids got their start. Small world!
KW: What interested you in Sparkle?
CE: You wouldn't ask that question, if you'd seen the movie, Kam. This role is to die for. It's such a great role. The highs and lows of the character's sister [Sparkle, played by Jordin Sparks] are so dramatic and nuanced and layered that you'd be a fool to turn this role down.
KW: Did you go back and Watch Lonette McKee's performance in the original version of Sparkle in preparing to do this role?
CE: No. No, I don't know how you make a role your own if you do that. So, watching another actress play the same character in preparation for my own performance is the last thing I would ever do, particularly with Sister, since Lonette made it so iconic that it would be a crazy idea to watch her. I think our movie pays homage to the original, but it's definitely different in numerous ways.
KW: What message do you think people will take away from the movie?
CE: It's essentially about not letting your light be dimmed by anybody who doesn't appreciate the dream that you're trying to pursue. It's about knowing who you are, and following your path even if you're not given support by those around you. And it's also about family.
KW: Editor/Legist Patricia Turnier says: I loved your performance in Metro. She asks: Do you enjoy being a member of Mensa and what is your IQ?
CE: [LOL] That is hilarious! Oh my God! I had no idea until recently that my being in Mensa was even on Wikipedia or somewhere else. It is true, but it's funny that it should come up as interview question.
KW: So, how high is your I.Q.?
CE: 156, for anyone that's interested. But I probably wouldn't be able to get as high a score after raising two kids and losing a lot of brain cells in the process.
KW: Patricia also says: Musicals are an amazing art form. We used to see a lot of them with people like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and The Nicholas Brothers. They were an integral part of Hollywood and it was common to see actors sing, dance and act. But by the 1950s, the decline began and we rarely see big musicals anymore besides Chicago. How do you explain this phenomenon and what do you think it will take to reverse the trend?
CE: I'm not a film historian, so I couldn't say for sure. But my guess is that the costs involved in making musicals was pretty high, and that the taste of what was pleasing to movie audiences changed by the time you got into the Sixties and Seventies. I was a big fan of John Cassavetes, his wife, Gena Rowlands, and that era of filmmaking which was about realism and which represented the antithesis of the dreamy escapism you found in musicals. I'm guessing that musicals didn't make sense anymore because of the changes in the political environment that began in the late Sixties, an era of self-awareness and social revolutions. Musicals are finally kind of coming back to a degree now, perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia.
KW: Marcia Evans says: I'm a huge fan of yours. I loved your role in my favorite film, Lackawanna Blues. I was so proud that HBO showcased such an amazing story about a piece of the patchwork to our cultural history quilt. You PLAYED that role! What was it like for you to portray Alean, and to be paired opposite the gorgeous and talented Jimmie Smits?
CE: What's interesting is that that role was actually Halle Berry's. She had to pull out at the very last minute, which meant I literally had only a couple of days to prepare for that role. Honestly, it was like baptism by fire, because I was so underprepared that I had to work on instinct. I was feeding off the energy of those excellent actors while trying to find my place which made it a really exciting experience for me.
KW: April Hughes asks: What was it like working with Whitney Houston?
CE: Amazing! She is an icon, and she brought a passion from the heart for telling Sparkle's story that made her an inspiration to watch every day and it also made it a pleasure to perform opposite her.
KW: April would also like to know if you have any advice for aspiring actresses/singers?
CE: Yes, go back and watch the great performances in your business so that you can understand the heights that should be aspired to. There are many mediocre entertainers who don't aspire to much more than fame and glory. It's very easy to have them as your role models because there aren't as many greats. Go back, discover the greats, and take it from there.
KW: Larry Greenberg says: I read that your director, Salim Akil, worked with schizophrenics before he started working with actors. He asks: Did that make him a more patient director than others you have worked with?
CE: Oh my God! I had no idea. But that makes sense. He is literally the calmest director I've ever worked with. He was so willing to step back and let us do our work without feeling that he had to interfere and tell us what to do just for the sake of looking like a director. He had such confidence in himself. So, it wouldn't surprise me, if he's had experience outside of the business, because he has much deeper soul than that. Working with people troubled in that way could be great training for working with actors who themselves can be a little schizophrenic at times. [Laughs]
KW: The Tasha Smith question: Are you ever afraid?
CE: Oh yeah. A lot. The great fear I've had to overcome, particularly this past year, is the fear of failure. It can be safer to stay in a comfort zone that's not stretching yourself. I tried to overcome that fear playing Sister. You have to be willing to be afraid, if you're going to be an artist.
KW: The Columbus Short question: Are you happy?
CE: Yes. I'm happier than I've been for a very long time, for all kinds of reasons. I'm glad my kids are happy. I'm grateful that my work is going well. I'm happy that this moment in my career arrived at this age, because I'm ready for it in a way that I might not have been at 20.
KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
CE: I don't have a lot of guilt.
KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read?
CE: "Darwin's Cathedral." It's about evolution and religion and it's gonna serve me well for Zero Hour, my new TV show that I start filming soon.
KW: I see that you'll also be starring opposite Tyler Perry in Alex Cross this fall.
CE: That's right! That's coming out in October. That was fun, too!
KW: What is your favorite dish to cook?
CE: I make a really delicious eggplant and squash curry that's inspired by Vij of Vij's Restaurant, a great chef and restaurateur in Vancouver. I like to cook that dish because it's really simple but the flavor is so pungent and intense that I feel like I'm a real chef whenever I create it.
KW: Harriet Pakula Teweles says: You've portrayed Coretta Scott King and Sally Hemmings. She's wondering whether there's another historical figure you'd like to play in a biopic?
CE: I'd love to play Betty Davis, one of Miles Davis' wives. She was sort of like Madonna before there was a Madonna. I'd love to play a full-out rocking chick. Like a Sister 2.0.
KW: Dante Lee, author of "Black Business Secrets," asks: What was the best business decision you ever made, and what was the worst?
CE: Leaving my first agent was both my best business decision and my worst business decision. It depends on how I want to look at my career because of opportunities that may have come had I stayed with him and because of the opportunities that did come because I had to fight harder for roles.
KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
CE: Oh, my goodness me! [Chuckles] A mommy.
KW: How hard is it to balance working and parenting, giving that you and Jeffrey are both actors?
CE: It explains why I haven't been onscreen very much the last ten years. [Laughs] It's very hard. It's been getting easier as I give myself permission to work again. It's all about my guilt level.
KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?
CE: Great question! Ooooh, gosh! You know what? That is a question I don't have an answer for. You've stumped me!
KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
CE: That Sparkle's a huge hit! [LOL]
KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory?
CE: Summers in Scotland when I was 3.
KW: The Judyth Piazza question: What key quality do you believe all successful people share?
CE: That depends on how you define success. Success for me will be where the body of work I've done afforded me the opportunity to be as good as I can be, and to explore myself and to see what I'm capable of. People like that share a willingness to be scared and to take chances.
KW: The Rudy Lewis question: Who's at the top of your hero list?
CE: Oh man, it's so hard to answer that. In terms of dignitaries, Nelson Mandela's up there. In terms of artists, this will change, but I'm really into a performance artist named Marina Abramovic' right now.
KW: The Sanaa Lathan question: What excites you?
CE: My children.
KW: The Teri Emerson question: When was the last time you had a good laugh with them?
CE: There's a lot of laughter in our house. I get their American/British sense of humor and they get my British sense of humor.
KW: The Tavis Smiley question: How do you want to be remembered?
CE: Oh my! I'm a bit young to be asked that. [Laughs]
KW: Yes, you are. Sorry. Thanks again for the time, Carmen, and best of luck with Sparkle.
CE: Thank you, Kam.

Upper Darby girl, 14, bags first deer during annual hunt at Ridley Creek State Park
EDGMONT — Anastasia Kavalkovich had heard the stories for years.
Now she's got one of her own to tell.
Kavalkovich, a 14-year-old from the Drexel Hill section of Upper Darby, was one of the hunters to take home a deer in the second day of the annual deer hunt at Ridley Creek State Park on Thursday. In all, 50 deer were shot and killed. The first day of the hunt was Nov. 29, when 96 deer were killed.
With that bringing the total to 146, it was the highest amount brought in by the hunters in the last three years, topping the 136 from last year and the 134 from two years ago.
It would have been difficult for anyone to top Kavalkovich's experience of bagging her first dear.
"I've been waiting to do this," she said. "I was really, really excited to get one. Everybody thought that I wouldn't shoot it, but I did. I was a little scared, but I thought, 'I can do this' and I did."
Kavalkovich, who was brought on the hunt by her dad, Ken, was in the right place at the right time. She said the deer emerged from some bushes at point-blank range for her.
"I shot it once, and it went back into the bushes, and I didn't even know if I hit it or not," she said. "Then it came back out and I shot it again in the chest."
Ken Kavalkovich has been hunting deer for 30 years. He had taken Anastasia deer hunting one other time near Waymart in the northeastern part of the state, but they didn't see any deer that day.
Now this day will be one that father and daughter will likely remember for years. Continued...
"She will have some bragging rights now," Ken Kavalkovich said.
Bragging rights were also claimed in another Delaware County household as Rich Oliver, of Chester Heights, brought his 15-year-old twin sons, Richie and Kyle, to the hunt. While they have been hunting together several times before, Richie was the one to take credit for bagging a deer this time.
"This is one of the big days for us," Rich Oliver said. "This is one of the best things I could ever do with my kids. We learn about trust and family and we can get away and do something together. Some families go to a basketball game, or whatever, we go hunting."
Ron Thompson, of the Garnet Valley section of Concord Township, bagged a deer and did one of the best things any hunter can do: He gave his deer to Dominic Mirarcini, a hunter from Philadelphia, who couldn't move around much Thursday because of a sore leg.
"He was having trouble getting around and walking, so I got this one and I just wanted to give it to him," Thompson said. "The more you move around, the more action you get."
Thompson had proof that he had moved around plenty as he was sporting about a 4-inch long scratch on the side of his face.
"Sometimes, (the deer) get in the briars and that can be pretty thick stuff," he said. "Unless you can get them out of there, there isn't much action."
Park manager Mike Kutzmonich said the ideal weather conditions, which was sunny with temperatures in the upper 40s the last two weeks, helped the action for the hunters, which is also helping the overall health of the park's deer herd.
"If it's too hot or too cold, they don't like to move around a lot," he said of the deer. "You go out now, and you see a lot healthier deer. They have better coats and look stronger because they are not eating all of the food sources in the winter."

the wait.
she sat, and where she sat was damp with the humidity,
the smooth concrete bench sweating even in the shade,
sticking to and sucking at the brown skin
of her legs, dangling.
she waited, brushed the muffin crumbs from her dress,
waited, brushed a fly from her hair, once, twice.
a woman came, smiled to her, spoke to her.
she waited.
i wait,
it's what i do.
My legs dangle, one, two,
three times i brushed
the boredom away,
yet each time
i came
increased my desire
to stay.

The One-Page Company Announces 1.5M in Seed Funding for B2B 1-Page
Job Proposal Platform
San Francisco-based startup, The One-Page Company [2], the creator of branded communication tools for corporations and individuals to write effective proposals on one page, today announced that it has raised $1.5M in seed funding. The investment, led by Blumberg Capital, TMT Investments, and Angel Investor Tuff Yen, comes fresh on the heels of the company's success with the 2011 release of its consumer-facing tool, the 1-Page Job Proposal wizard.
While resumes are not engaging and solely focus on the job seeker, the 1-Page Job Proposal is a direct proposition for how a candidate can solve a company's specific business challenge. To date there have been thousands of proposals created with the wizard on 1-Page.com, of which over 80% of those job seekers using the tool have secured jobs. Based on the movement that has arisen from the popularity and success of The One-Page Proposal book and the 1-Page Job Proposal wizard for individuals, the company has launched a B2B platform, 1-Page Job Proposal Platform [3].
Starting today, the 1-Page Job Proposal Platform will be available as invite-only for enterprise customers. 1-Page Job Proposal Platform allows organizations to systematically solicit, distribute and review one page proposals in response to a specific business challenge, ultimately setting the stage for a systematic change in the industry whereby job seekers present themselves as innovators, idea-generators and valuable assets. Companies save time by evaluating a candidate while gaining a more accurate perspective on their potential success within the organization.
"The traditional résumé is dead," remarked entrepreneur and The One-Page Company Co-Founder & CEO, Joanna Riley Weidenmiller [4]. "What the companies need is a clear understanding of a job seeker's value within a specific organization, not a general laundry list of past experience. Our goal is to eliminate the friction in the hiring process, which means providing a platform where both company and candidate can understand the value proposition in one page."
The One-Page Company is using its recent financing to further grow its engineering team and build out its product offerings for the enterprise.
About The One-Page
The One-Page Company [5] makes branded communication tools for corporations and individuals to write effective proposals in a one page format. To support the demand and supply side of the markets, the company is building the world's largest online platform to become to proposals what Google is to search, beginning with jobs.

Installlation: Light & Sound
Course No. SCU230/330/430 Credits: 3
Sculptural installation is a condition of space that is neither object bound nor object-centric in its existence but rather presents a condition that is often identified as immersive and intentionally organized to produce a spatially dependent experience beyond that of the "Everyday". This course will investigate various applications and approaches to subject of Installation with an emphasis on contemporary practices using light and sound as a means of constructing space and form. Primary to this course are the understandings of light (lighting) as both a material and structural element with regard to organization and presentation and the combined relationship of sound as an immersive component in the production of installation-based works. Required at the junior level for all Sculpture majors and open to all other students at the sophomore level and above.

Create Differentiated Solutions on VMware Platforms
TAP members get access to a comprehensive set of developer resources to develop rich and robust applications on VMware platform, create differentiated solutions and reduce time-to-market. These resources include,
- Products such as toolkits and APIs
- Content such as documentation and knowledge base
- Source code access and
- Services such as developer forums, incident support, architectural help and certification
These resources are packaged in the form of programs listed below. Together they are called Co-Development Programs. We continue to improve the breadth and depth of resources, so let us know your suggestions.
Specific API Programs
While the SDKs provide a set of published APIs that are sufficient for majority of tasks related to the management of virtualized infrastructure, certain functionalities require partners to access, adopt and / or collaborate in the development of specific APIs. Membership in programs related to such APIs is available to qualified partners. These programs provide access to specific APIs and R&D resources for collaborative development purposes. Examples of such programs are:
- VMware Ready for Storage Program - The Storage category is open to qualified partners interested in building and certifying storage devices for vSphere, and is primarily targeted at Storage vendors. Storage partner can integrate advanced solutions with vSphere such as disaster recovery, multipathing, offload capabilities, storage management. The storage devices created and certified via this program can be released asynchronously by VMware and partners. The program allows partners to develop and certify their plugins and storage devices in a timely fashion, new or update existing ones based on availability of new APIs and new versions of VMware products. Associated devices can be flagged to VMware Ready in the VMware Solution Exchange (VSX) and added to VMware's Compatibility Guide.
- VMware Ready for Management Program - The Management category is open to qualified partners interested in building and certifying management applications for VMware's Management platform. The types of management applications include a variety of integration points such as vSphere Management and vCenter Orchestrator. The SDKs for these integrations are provided publicly in VMware's Developer Community. The partner must join the Management program in order to certify their solution and receive the VMware Ready logo. Certifications are available for a subset of management APIs.
- VMware Ready for Networking & Security Program - Networking and Security solutions are integral components of building agile and secure virtual datacenters. Partner solutions integrated with VMware products deliver security, compliance, and advanced networking to help customers realize the full efficiency and agility of cloud computing.
- VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) Program – This program is open to qualified partners interested in integrating with VMware's site recovery solution. SRM partners have access to VMware's SRM APIs and development tools, and work with VMware's R&D organization to integrate their products and to influence future enhancements.

10 Greek Street review – lame name, great food
Simple and good value Restauranteurs must rack their brains for weeks on end to come up with the names of their restaurants.

This small Soho-based restaurant may lack an original name, but that … Continue reading »
Tapasia review – second time lucky?

Tapasia review – is the food any better than the pun-fully bad name?
Small bites at high prices More restaurants than ever are opening in Soho despite the relative scarcity of real estate and Tapasia is one of the newest. This small bar and restaurant, located on bustling Old Compton Street, serves up Asian-inspired tapas which isn't as strange as it first sounds. Chinese dim sum and Spanish … Continue reading »
T8 review – modern eclectic dining in Shanghai
This review of a Shanghai restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton's usual London-based coverage Given the array of regional Chinese cuisines available in Shanghai, eating at T8, a Modern European restaurant, will seem like a bit of a cop out. However, T8 is not only regarded by some as one of the mega … Continue reading »
Karpo review – quirky new King's Cross restaurant
Trying too hard, yet paradoxically needs to try harder Karpo bills itself as a diner, but apart from a small hatch through which dishes are passed from the kitchen to the main dining room, this restaurant is completely unlike any diner I've ever been to. This is especially true when one takes the plant-festooned wall … Continue reading »

Archipelago review – zebra and scorpion for lunch
Grizzly gourmet or gastronomic gimmicks? Most business lunches are rather staid affairs full of talk about quarterly results and brand actualisation strategies, but one sure-fire way to spice it up a little is to have it at Archipelago, a smaller, rather unusual restaurant in Fitzrovia just around the corner from the BT Tower. Archipelago is … Continue reading »
Divina La Cocina review – ideas above its station
This review of a Madrid restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton's usual London-based coverage.

Ziren Wang Photography | ||
About ZirenI see photography as more than just a click of the shutter. I see every photograph as an adventure, as an exploration. The adventure itself excites me and I hope the revelations of this expedition will bring you joy. I wish that my photography will let you perceive this world as a more wonderful place. In my opinion, photography is best served raw. Introducing fancy editions and programs to make photography seem like a painting just doesn't work. However, I do experiment with different forms of photography. Most of the time, I use Lightroom to organize my photos and make some small exposure tweaks. I am Ziren Wang, a student from Raffles Institution, Singapore. I seek to contribute to the very community that introduced me to photography - my school. I frequently and delightfully cover events for my school and my community as a member of the photography club.

Restaurants in London
The food at this celebrated restaurant exhibits the style and taste you'd expect from an ex-Nobu chef. The sushi is exquisite, but it's the more unusual dishes, like ebi prawns wrapped in Greek pastry and butternut squash, and especially the mint-tea duck with pear and sweet honey miso, that will really bowl you over.
Gordon Ramsay
One of Britain's finest restaurants and London's longest-running with three Michelin stars, this is hallowed turf for those who worship at the altar of the stove. It's true that it's a treat right from the taster to the truffles, but you won't get much time to savour it all. Bookings are made in specific sittings and you dare not linger; book as late as you can to avoid that rushed feeling. The blowout tasting Menu Prestige (£120) is seven courses of absolute perfection.

This match made in heaven – London's most celebrated chef in arguably its grandest hotel – will make you weak at the knees. A meal in the gorgeous art deco dining room is a special occasion indeed; the Ramsay flavours will have you reeling, from the Thai-spiced lobster ravioli with lemongrass and coconut to the chorizo-studded John Dory with Jersey Royals and asparagus and morel velouté, all the way to the cheese trolley, whether you choose from the French or British selections. Consider the six-course tasting menu (£80).
Afghan Kitchen
This minute two-floor eatery serves up some of Islington's best-value and most interesting cuisine. It features traditional Afghan dishes such as qurma suhzi gosht (lamb cooked with spinach) and qurma e mahi (fish stew) alongside a generous vegetarian selection, including borani kado (pumpkin with yoghurt) and moong dall (lentil dhal). In the evenings, there is freshly baked bread to go with the dishes instead of rice.
This Bath-based chain was London's first truly French poissonnerie (fishmonger) with a restaurant attached, its entranceway counters piled high with shaved ice, crustaceans and fish. We return regularly, especially for the sublime Dartmouth crab eaten cold and the incomparable zuppa del pescatore (fisherman's soup; £19), a symphony of delights from the deep. There is also a Marylebone branch.
Established in 1798, this very posh and very British establishment is London's oldest restaurant. The menu is inevitably meat-oriented – Rules specialises in classic game cookery, serving up tens of thousands of birds between mid-August and January from its own estate – but fish dishes are also available. Puddings are traditional: trifles, treacles and lashings of custard.
Central London's most inventive vegie restaurant, Mildred's heaves at lunchtime so don't be shy about sharing a table in the sky-lit dining room. Expect the likes of roasted fennel and chickpea terrine and puy lentil casserole, Ethiopian stews, wonderfully exotic (and filling) salads as well as delicious stir-fries. There are also vegan and gluten-free options, and a large range of organic wines.
Brick Lane Beigel Bake
You won't find fresher (or cheaper) bagels anywhere in London than at this bakery and delicatessen; just ask any taxi driver (it's their favourite nosherie). It's always busy: with market shoppers on Sunday and Shoreditch clubbers by night.
Boxwood Cafe
An accessible entry point into Gordon Ramsay's eating empire, Boxwood offers set-price lunch and pre-7pm menus (two/three courses £21/25). It's intended as an informal option – although you wouldn't guess it from the attentive staff, faultless food and staid decor.
Kennington Tandoori
This local curry house is a favourite of MPs from across the river.
It would be easy to dismiss Jamie Oliver's nonprofit training restaurant as a gimmick, but on our latest visit the kitchen was in fine fettle. Here young chefs from disadvantaged backgrounds train with experienced professionals, creating an ambitious and interesting Italian menu. The ground-floor trattoria is a relaxed venue, while the underground dining room is more formal. Reservations are usually essential.
This wonderfully atmospheric Moroccan restaurant is stuffed with cushions and lamps, and staffed by all-dancing, tambourine-playing waiters. It's a funny old place that manages to be all things to all diners, who range from romantic couples to raucous office-party ravers. Service is very friendly and the dishes are as exciting as you dare to be, so after the meze eschew the traditional and ordinary tajine (stew cooked in a traditional clay pot) and tuck into the splendid Moroccan speciality pastilla, a scrumptious nutmeg and pigeon pie. There's outside seating in this quiet backstreet in the warmer months.
This is the pick of Upper Street's many eating options – a brilliantly bright, white space that's worth a trip to see the eye-poppingly beautiful cakes and bread in the front deli alone. But get a table at this temple to good food and you'll really appreciate it. At lunch you choose between the dishes spread out on the counter, while in the evening there's á la carte dining, too, though so fanatical about ingredient quality are the chefs that the menu is not confirmed until 5pm. Weekend brunch here is fabulous, though you'll usually have to wait for a table. Reservations are essential in the evenings.
Garrison Public House
The Garrison's traditional green-tiled exterior and rather distressed, beach-shack interior are both appealing. It boasts an actual cinema (free films every Sunday 7pm, intermissions for drinks provided) in its basement, but it's the food – razor clams, black face lamb gigot with roast squash, and pumpkin, chickpea and courgette cake – that lures punters to this evergreen Bermondsey gastropub. If you don't fancy nearly bashing your neighbour's elbow every time you lift your fork, though, come for breakfast (8am to 11.30am weekdays, 9am to 11.30am weekends).
1 Lombard St
Cassoulet goes head-to-head with bangers-and-mash in the brasserie, under the domes of a heritage-listed bank building, and both the French and the Brits come out winners.
If you fancy Korean but want a bit more style thrown into the act, head for this spacious basement restaurant next to the Holborn tube station. The kimchi (pickled Chinese cabbage with chillies) is searing, the barbecues (£7 to £11.50) are done on your table and the bibimbab – rice served in a sizzling pot topped with thinly sliced beef, preserved vegetables and chilli-laced soybean paste – are the best in town.
Inn the Park
This stunning wooden cafe and restaurant in St James's Park is run by the Irish wonder that is Oliver Peyton and offers cakes and tea as well as substantial and quality British food. The recent addition of extra seating under the trees for the cafe part and the new roof terrace are perfect, but if you're up for a special dining experience, come here for dinner, when the park is quiet and slightly illuminated. One of London's most gorgeous structures and locations.
Oxo Tower Restaurant & Brasserie
The conversion of the old Oxo Tower on the South Bank into housing with this restaurant on the 8th floor helped spur much of the dining renaissance south of the river. In the stunning glassed-in terrace you have a front-row seat for the best view in London, and you pay for this (not the fusion food) handsomely in the brasserie and stratospherically in the restaurant. Fish dishes – confit sea bass with truffle gnocchi, black bream escabèche – usually comprise half the menu.
Electric Brasserie
Whether it's for breakfast (£5 to £10) or brunch over the weekend, a hearty lunch or a full dinner, the Electric draws a trendy and wealthy Notting Hill crowd with its Modern British/European cuisine. If you're feeling decadent, lobster and chips (£36) is the way forward.
Busaba Eathai
The Store St premises of this hugely popular mini-chain is slightly less hectic than some of the other West End outlets, but it retains all the signature features that have made it a roaring success: uberstyled Asian interior, large communal wooden tables, and heavenly cheap and tasty Thai food. You'll find perfectly executed big hitters such as Pad Thai, green and red curry as well as fragrant noodle soups, exquisite calamari and other delights such as jungle curry. This isn't the place to come for a long and intimate dinner, but it's a superb option for an excellent and speedy meal.
Tapas are always better value in Spain but the quality of the food here and the fact that its popularity just seems to rise may justify the price of what are essentially appetisers to go with your drink. Along with gambas al ajillo(prawns in garlic; £7.50), there are more unusual things such as tuna tartare and grilled quails with aioli. Because customers sit along the bar, it's not a good place for groups.
Back to Basics
There are two or three other options on the menu (see 'Fish not Your Dish'), but seafood is the focus at this superb corner restaurant run by a bevy of affable young Poles in what's become know as Titchfield Village. A dozen varieties of exceedingly fresh fish, and a dozen original, mouth-watering ways to cook them, are chalked up on a blackboard every day. Two-course set lunch is around £10. There's outside seating in summer.
Mirch Masala
'Chilli and Spice', part of a small chain based in the epicentre of London subcontinental food, Southall, is a less hectic alternative to Tayyabs and the food is almost up to the same level. Order the prawn tikka (£9) as a 'warmer' followed by the masala karella (£5), a curry-like dish made from bitter gourd, and a karahi (stewed) meat dish.
Fish House
This combination seafood restaurant and chippy is just the sort of place you wish you had in your own neighbourhood. The freshest of fresh fish and crustaceans are dispensed from both a busy takeaway section (where a blackboard tells you from where your fish has come) and a cheerful sit-down restaurant. The lobster bisque and Colchester oysters are always good, while the generous fish pie bursting with goodies from the briny deep is exceptional.
Le Café Anglais
This bustling restaurant has a very eclectic menu (from gigantic roasts to Thai curries) that means to please everybody and usually does.

I am not a fan of Varejo. Lebron also makes those around him look better than advertised.
The Cavs will need to trade for a younger center even if they win it all. Bosh and Amare are possible but not likely. Guys mentioned have been Okafor, Chandler Kaman and Milicic. Who would be best?
Travis Heath:
If he's healthy I like Chandler because of his shot blocking ability and the way he can run the floor. I would avoid Darko like the plague. Okafor is solid but overpaid. Kaman falls into that same boat, but when healthy he brings a lot to the table offensively. Mehmet Okur can opt out, perhaps the Cavs could try and construct some kind of trade in the offseason with Utah. I think Okur would be able to play the role that Z has been playing for Cleveland in years.
This comes from nba rumors thread. What if we trade Ok50 to the Cavs for Varejo, Gibson and Hickson. We could then package Nazy and Dj to the Clips for Kaman and Collins.
Felts, Gibson, pick
Bell, Collins, pick
Wallace, Radman (pick Earl Clark)
Diaw, Hickson, Ajinca
Kaman, Varejo, Diop
With Ok50 short comings on the offensive end now gone with Kaman's offensive ability and defensive presents and size we get more points in the paint from Diaw's passes. We get a young stub in Hickson and a pg that can hit the 3 ball from Gibson. Two projects at sg but Collins should be able to handle it but we could get Ellington, Henderson in the second rd. This would be a special team.
I am not a fan of Varejo. Lebron also makes those around him look better than advertised.
Notice I had him hid behind Ellington. Henderson will be gone but I didn't want Ellington to be alone seeing that everyone will say drafting Tarheel players is only good for selling tickets.
is this the official 'speculations about trades we would like' thread

Judge orders man to trial in Weleetka girls' deaths
BY CARY ASPINWALL World Staff Writer
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
1/30/13 at 2:20 AM
OKEMAH - An Okfuskee County judge ordered a man accused of killing two Weleetka girls bound over for trial today following two days of testimony that included the man's videotaped confession to killing "two monsters."
Associate District Judge David Martin's ruling that sufficient evidence exists to order Kevin Sweat bound over for trial came late Tuesday afternoon. Sweat is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Skyla Whitaker, 11, and Taylor Paschal-Placker, 13.
Martin did not set a trial date and said another judge would set the date at Sweat's next hearing, an arraignment.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Sweat in the girls' deaths, which occurred June 8, 2008. Before Martin made his ruling binding Sweat over for trial, he ruled that Sweat's September 2011 videotaped statement to authorities should be admitted as evidence.
"This is one of the saddest cases I've had in a long time," Martin said, in making his ruling that sufficient evidence exists to hold Sweat for trial. Prosecutors played the video, which lasts more than two hours, for most of the day Tuesday.
During the interview, OSBI agent Kurt Titsworth reads and has Sweat sign a Miranda waiver and tells him once they start talking, they can stop anytime. Titsworth tells him investigators know Sweat was at the murder scene and says authorities have DNA and forensic evidence linking him to the killings.
"I need to know your side of story," he says.
"I'm sure I would remember if I killed somebody," Sweat responds, protesting that he knows nothing about the girls' murders. "This is all news to me."
On tape, Sweat says there are people he wouldn't mind killing, including Osama bin Laden, Fidel Castro and his brother's killer. "But not two little girls," he protests.
Sweat repeatedly fishes for information from Titsworth during the interview, the tape shows. Did one of his former girlfriends tell them something, he asks.
"How? Hair? Was it hair?" Sweat asks.
Eventually during the interview, Sweat begins to talk about the killings, telling the agent he has struggled with mental problems and memory issues.
"If a demon did come out, I didn't know," Sweat tells Titsworth. He also raises the possibility that it was a blackout.
"Kurt, the only thing I can think of is a blackout," Sweat says.
"Was it demons that you thought were coming at you?" Titsworth asks Sweat.
"I guess," he whispers, hanging his head. Sweat says he was seeing things that may weren't real. " What?" Titsworth asks.
"I don't know, things ... Monsters," Sweat replies. "They were coming after me." He said he pulled over to "take a leak," saw the girls walking and panicked.
During the interview, Sweat said used a .40-caliber gun and a .22.caliber gun he kept in his car to kill the girls before fleeing the scene.
"How many times did you shoot them?" Titsworth asked.
"I didn't keep count; I just panicked," Sweat answered.
Defense attorney Wayne Woodyard said tapes show Sweat making a clear request to have counsel present during interviews with Titsworth, but interviews continued without his attorneys present.
Prosecutors argued the video shows Sweat never made a clear request for counsel to be present. Instead, Sweat made ambiguous statements that do not require investigators to stop interviews under the Constitution, they said.
The taped interviews are a key piece of evidence in prosecutors' case against Sweat and Martin ruled they are admissible in his trial.
In testimony Monday, Taylor's grandfather discussed finding the girls' bodies. The two had a sleepover and had gone for a walk down the rural road when they were killed. Other testimony involved witnesses discussing how the 40-caliber gun used in the girls' deaths was traced from a shipment to a Baltimore police department before it was sold to various Oklahoma law enforcement officials and eventually to Sweat.
Sweat is also charged in a separate case with the slaying of his former girlfriend, Ashley Taylor, who disappeared in the summer of 2011. Sweat's relatives testified Monday about statements Sweat allegedly made regarding Taylor's threats to tell people he killed "those girls" if he broke up with her.
Sweat has been ordered to stand trial in June in that case.

I am the Typo Queen.I'm sixteen years old.I'm fairly open-minded. I have a teddy bear named Sev.I am a Slytherin and I am PROUD My friends think I'm Bellatrix Lestrange in a parallel universe.One of them is Narcissa Malfoy. They also think I was a house-elf in a past life. I miss Dobby. But I like fanfiction. I'm partial to angst. mmmm. I like Parseltongue. Ever heard of the band Voldemort? They're metal. Draco and the Malfoys is awesome too. And hilarious.The Remus Lupins<3 I like slash. No smutt though I like it if done right. It's weird.But blame Jared Leto. And Anakin Skywalker. And Voldemort, he corrupted me. But then, as one of my friends said-"I think you corrupted him." I still have the text message. ~§~ Excuse my rambling though, I just had to get that out and I couldn't think of the proper way to say it. ~§~ Anyways, back to business(though we were never there) I may start beta'ing later on, though I'm not quite sure of everything it entails and I don't want to seem foolish. It's just like editing and proofreading in school, yes? I think I would make a good one if that's all, and I have extensive knowledge of the books, with the complete set on hand for reference on spellings. It took forever to finally remember how to spell "Mcgonagall" and I still get it wrong..One of my pet peeves is when writers get the facts wrong. It happened so much on FF.N that it drove me nuts. But no matter how annoyed, I will not hide behind a computer screen and flame. Not unless I've been given cause by something truly offensive and even then I'll do as Professor Snape suggests. "Hold your tongue!" Well, fingers in this case. But I ramble yet again. Just so it's clear, I don't write much at all, though I get the ocassional idea, I think the most I could ever manage is a feeble oneshot(and there's nothing wrong with them). As I've explained to one of my friends, I don't have that special magic needed to make the words feel right, but I get lots of the aforementioned ideas and I'm willing to share as long as credit is given where due. By the way, this thing looks like a frickin' snitch.↓ → ~§~ ← ↑ Instant Owlers: clari_nevermore [AT] hotmail [DOT] com No results found.
